You may want to go back and read the rest of the thread.  If you have not seen the Challenger that they're building, you've missed 95% of the build.

Cone Engineering booth (#23475) in Hot Rod Alley.  Good location right on the center isle diagonal to Bilstein & GM and right next Hemming Motor News.

Cone's SEMA gallery which shows the booth and all of the different displays.

The car is absolutely breathtaking.  What's the story on it though?  What flew up someone's butt one day (besides money and incredible talent, hehe J/K) that really drove this whole thing?  Passion for Mopar, custom work, power, racing, car shows, investment, statement to the world, need for uniqueness, or... ?  Just curious - what will this car be used for once it's done?  Will it be framed in glass and displayed in a museum, driven on tours, or maybe raced hard on a track (I like that one)?

Like I said - breathtaking - GREAT WORK!  (you must be almost tired of hearing that)

This car is a culmination of years of ideas from past builds and the need to build "the one that got away."  The car is owned by my dad, it will make it's way around to different shows, but in the end the car is built to be driven.  My dad worked for a large street rod builder in Portland for about 10 years before we started our own company - Bruning Auto Design.  He started working with C5 suspension components not long after the C5 vette was introduced (google Real Mad designed by Chip Foose and NewMad).

Still waiting on the camshaft (long story).  Water pump in the works along with engine management.  Car probably won't be dyno'd until the car is tuned
