NICE RIDE!! Love the color combo!!   I was going to go black/red stripe... WoW     The wheels are not me, But eh, They ain't bad.      5 years and we get 1 er 2 pix...   Come on man!    :icon16:     I'd drop the front.    are those staggered 20"r. /19"f. ?     Big black 5 spokes with a red line, or silver/grey wheels.   To me the big chrome rimz compete with the car a little.   ya, dig the center caps too!   :droolingbounce:       she sure looks good! GREAT JOB. :clapping:   R/T

Im working on lowering the rear that way I can lower the front a bit more... its funny u say black because I did want to do that but I think the chrome bumpers call for chrome wheels.. painted bumper on the challenger is not me so that rules that option out.... thanks for the compliment

Lets see some engine comp pics.  What I've seen so far looks amazing!!!

Post a closeup pic of the outside door handles.  Maybe it's just the picture but it looks like you may have Cuda door handles on the car.  You should have the concave Challenger ones...the Cuda handles are concave and leave a gap if installed on a Challenger.  Otherwise...great work!

Do you have any details or pics of the modifications to the floor for the Charger seats? I've got a set of SRT Challenger seats I'll be installing but looking at the mock up I believe I'll have to drop/modify the outer "bump" in the floor to do this. I'm 6'2" though so maybe it's just me.

Thanks!
Wes

The reproduction handles that most people sell are listed as Cuda and Challenger BUT they are accually Cuda handles.  There are 3 different styles of handle. 

1970-71 Challenger....concave
1970-71 Cuda....convex
1972-74 Cuda and Challenger....flat so they sort of fit both cars(these are not repopped AFAIK)

Dales Cuda Shop sells the correct Challenger handles.  They had a special at the Mopar Nat's last year.  I bought outside and inside handles along with inner door locks for $150.
