And closer! I can't get the color to show correctly in any photo. I used plum crazy used on the new challengers, but pics only show up as blue.

No, I just did what I wanted to look at every day. This car was gone, but I wouldn't quite on it. Replaced 80% of the sheet metal (rockers, inner & outer cowl, A posts, frame sections, rad. support to the tail panel. Will I ever get my money back? No! Do I want my money back? No! I want this car!

Our little town has 150 cars every month at our cruise in. They'll be all over it. You know how some are though, I want to see what the first complaint is on what I've done. Part of it!
