I realized over the weekend this had not been updated in some time. So I thought it best to begin with a new post.

The car made it's debut at the Mopar Nats this weekend with rave reviews. And it had a camera pointed at it darn near the entire time it was displayed in my booth.

Thanks to all that stopped by and asked about it . The most common question I received was, who made the 1/4 panels decals ?

The cars owner drove it about 2 weeks ago , last time he drove the car was about 1993 .
He was grinning from ear to ear the entire time.

Nice car! That WAS a money shot and it has enlarged my hemi desire! However, I keep that next to my Megan Fox desire, knowing that I'll never have either, but they're damn nice to look at, anyways. Enjoy!

What brand a/c system are you using on the car?

joelson6 · « **Reply #8 on:** August 20, 2011 - 10:32:32 PM »

alright, who DID do the 1/4 panel decals.

i'm looking to do a modified T/A Challenger decal but i can't find anyone who can make it.

Have you tired ChallengerGary? He makes custom stripe kits.

The A/C system is from Vintage Air .
Pulleys, compressor and mounting brackets came from http://www.bouchillonperformance.com/

I custom made some brackets to mount the underdash box using the original non-a/c box mounting points and the condensor to rad support brackets are custom made to allow the use of the factory Hemi Cuda style trans cooler.

but I have a power steering belt noise I can't get to quit, but thats another story.

1/4 panel decals were made by Gary Tooker aka challengergary, I told him the effect I was after and he came up with a few different ideas. The rest of the Strobe stripes I believe came from Dales Cuda Shop

Air cleaner is from Steve Mathews aka paintitblack

The A/C works nice, and is a nice touch considering the car should run in the 12's with some traction aids.

Pretty cool.

Clean engine compartment. Nice you didn't stick a dang ECU box on the firewall.

I think though I woulda done AAR side exit exhaust.

ECU is well hidden
Owner preferred the rear cuda style exhaust
