      Here are some pics of alien joey's 73 Challenger Rallye. It was a HS graduation present from his folks that has been customized over the years juuuust a bit :cooldancing: If you look close to the left of the Scat Pack Bee in the 1/4 window is Garfield etched in the glass and yes the add-on 8-Track works :grinyes: He was at the shop briefly while i took some pics of my Challenger. It's got 181,000 miles on the original 318-2/auto and has always been garaged  :cheers:

    Two antennas too. He can listen to two radio stations and gettin some breeze from the sunroof when he's bumper pulling his trailer.
    All jokes aside, it is still the best graduation gift anyone could give/get. :)

    That looks quite nice. That's the best car I have ever seen with the body side moldings, it looks better with them than without, makes the curves stand out in that colour combo (vinyl roof etc). Love it.


    Thanks for the eye candy!  :cheers:

    Nice looking Challenger. The colors make this car a stand out and a real attention drawing car.

    Very nice car!  Looks great!  Like the color!  :thumbsup:

    I've always wanted to see what a car would look like with the body side mouldings and the Rallye fender louvers as I think the louvers get deleted if you have the body side moulding, I think that's what happened to my car or else maybe since my car was an early car maybe it didn't get the louvers???  :clueless:  Looks interesting!

    I like it.  :2thumbs:

    That's a classic case of making a car what you want it to be. Well done, I might add. I can't imagine how he did the antennas though.  :clueless:

    Just a suggestion...paint the tail panel body color.  Mine is argent, too, and the car is white.  I'll be adding a T/A rear spoiler and when I mocked it up the tail panel didn't look right argent, so I'll be painting it body color.  Just my  :2cents:.

    Sharp car but the hitch would have to go.

    OK since this is such a great set of photos...

    the tail panel is not Blacked out, but is a much darker Grey than came on our 73...anyone tell me what color or type of paint is used on the tail panel here?

    According to alien joey, the tail panel was first painted black, followed by multi-color glitter, followed by satin clear.
