Great pics of hot chics. 

This is your thread Drew...   Do you have any interior mods done to your Challenger?  What motor do you run?  Do you have a build thread? 


I was also wondering if Dodj had finished installing his and how it turned out.


OK then there are pics in the beginning showing how it can be done with relative ease the dimensions are about the same except for the sides need to be cut and with the use of a heat gun,

And yes I have a few mods inside R/T logos embossed in the head rests and door panels, and out , 440 auto ,aluminum heads,different rear gears depending on what track and what road trip currently 3;23,s.

Tubular UCA,S reinforced LCA,S,reinforced K frame, adjustable aluminum strut rods,slotted crossdrilled Wilwoods on all 4 wheels,17 x8 inch wheels with 275 45 /17 tire,Qa1 adjustable shocks,

Here is a recent track vid

TRACK DAY 2012 bad ass 70 R/T


I post this cause the spoiler works if you watch the vid in the end you can see the front of the car stays down ,before the front of the car would raise up and effect the handling ,keeping air from going under the car is important especially with these cars .

one only has to look at the ole Vanishing point movie and you can see the front of the car is higher than the rear in the high speed shots.......so this spoiler does work it is just not stock,and if you look at the pics this can be done with out any major mods except for a few  holes in the bottom of the valance

How are you liking the QA1 shocks? Single or double adjustable?  I'm needing some shocks to control the composite leafs . Considering QAI's or ridetech's?

Actually, I didn't get it done last year. Nice weather came and I put it back on the shelf for this winter's projects.
Hopefully will be posting pics about March.

Nice Car! I typically don't like the pro-touring look but yours looks sweet. What wheels and sizes have you got on there? Cool vid too! :2thumbs:
Don't look back, I might be gaining on you.

That size looks real good on there. What brand and model are they? you may have just made a sale for them. You should tell them you deserve a commission.  :grinyes:

Did you have to do any mods to get them to fit? any clearance issues with the frame rail and tire in front of the wheel at full lock? Thanks.

The Brand name is Budnik and the wheel name is Arrowhead,they dont show in their catalog but whenI called them they said they could make them so there are available.

Clearance issues ,I  did roll the fender lip  ,but I dont have any issues with the inner tire hitting the frame ,I have about 1/2 in clearance in the fender area ,so you will have to massage the fender a bit but they can be made to fit ,

as you can see my car is far from stock ,and one of the reasons for the modification was back in 1996 during resto  Idecided ti put 17 inch wheels on the far and most people didnt care for it but it made a huge difference in the way the car handles and responds,now it seems the norm to put even larger tires on these cars so yea if they ask at Budnik send em a pic of my car and say" these are the wheels I want " I am restoing a Cuda for the wife and she wants these wheels so I know there are able to be made ,I am also intrigued by the new YEAR ONE RALLY 17 INCH WHEELS,look really nice :cooldancing:

Hey I see you are in Denver. What track was your vid filmed at? I used to run my GSXR 750 at second creek until they closed it. I heard there was going to be a new track east of the airport, was that it? I don't live in the area anymore, but it looks like a nice track. A lot better than second creek.  :ylsuper:

Yes it is called High Plains Raceway out past the airport past everything and then there is nothing but a track out in the middle of no where

,and I have had several runs at 2nd creek , and this track although more challenging is a far better track , and they have much better facilities too
