    That paint job looks slick :2thumbs:  Is that standard drum brakes on there?.  Great to see light at the end of the tunnel, isn't it?   The car looks excellent in the pictures

    Love the orange and black with the Cragars!  :drool: One bit of advice is to black out behind the grill-it will look much better.  :2thumbs:

    Thanks. I am in Winnipeg. I wanted to black out behind the grill, but wanted it stock. I also kept the stock 10' drums brakes as well, but will probably add discs in the years to come. It is an original EV2 car.

    Blacking out behind the grill would be stock.

    Is this only on a Challenger or also on a Barracuda?

    The blackout treatment is on both cars; basically on light coloured cars to minimize the appearance through the grille.
