Love the color and the garage!  :cooldancing:   :bananasmi:
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

“…but Hemis really need a 2x4 i think?”
- Totally agree on the two four barrel setup on a Hemi.

I really like the silver paint job. As mentioned by others, it works very well on the overall look.

Have you seen Joe Rogan’s Cuda?  It’s painted silver as well.
- Joe Rogan is a comedian (That’s what I’m told anyway).  A few years back, I watched a TV show where they took his “barn fresh” Barracuda and transformed it into this Super-Cuda. Chip Foose was involved with the build.  Foose’s design was a bit more elaborate in the paint colors.  But, after seeing the Cuda in primer, Rogan ordered that the Fish be painted silver.  When it was all said and done, I liked the way it turned out.

Anyway, your Challenger is looking very nice.  Looking forward to watching the project progress.  :cheers:
