71 Challenger Vert Chops (Thank You Aaron)
« on: January 29, 2009 - 10:09:04 PM »
Aaron has completed the chops (best money I've spent on the car so far) of my 71 Challenger Convertible.

I'm pretty solid on everything except the color.

Give me some feedback.

Before I saw the chops, I kinda was leaning to white also. But the Green Go does seem to pop.

Have you considered Elastameric bars front and rear ? or not really in to them ?  Would look unreal on a White vert :bigsmile:

Elastomerics are sweet on Challenger R/T's because the blackout extended on to the bumper.

Thanks, more money I gotta spend.

Well, I think a set of reproduction elastomeric bumpers will be added to the list of stuff I need to buy.

I still can't decide between white and green

Either choice would be fine.  I am now more partial to the lemon twist after seeing what Aaron did for my car!!!!   
Got a pretty good start on my M46 optioned Barracuda restoration but now it is on hold till I can gather more funds.  Still need a few parts for it.  SIU Graduate 75 AAS Automotive Tech, 94 BS Advanced Tech Studies, 1997 MSED Workforce Education and Development
