Great pictures, love the #1 and #3 pics!  :thumbsup:

awsome challenger......but i would have made the front bumber crome to match the rear one......but just my opinion tho

There were no reproductions when I bought the car and the original bumper was badly damaged. I fitted the plastic bumper as a temp measure until I could find a good used one. But there are no good used ones in the UK at all.
However after a time the plastic bumper grew on me and when reproduction bumpers did become available I decided not to bother because I prefered the look the car has with it painted.
It is one of the things that makes this car MY car and different to most of the others out there. I like being different. :icon16:

Dave, have you ever looked into running Avon tires? the CR6ZZs.
I am really giving it some thought for my Challenger with 15x8 minilites all around.
I ask because they are from out your way and big bucks over here.

Wow what an incredible Chally.   :wow:

You’re right; the painted front bumper adds to the appeal and makes the car look very unique.

Dave, have you ever looked into running Avon tires?

My tyre choice was limited by the sizes I needed and the money I had to spend. Never had anything with Avon tyres since my 1958 AJS 350 which I owned in the 70s.

Ran a high 11 once and with the new engine combo I hope to run solid high 11s.
