    VERY NICE!!!

    The first coulpe pics show the back of the hood sitting higher then the fenders. Have you seen the hood adjusting trick on RestoRicks webside?  My hood was doing the same thing before we adjusted it per RestoRicks instructions.  Some people think it's a hinge problem but it's an adjustment problem.

    Great looking car!  It looks like you have the 15" Magnum 500's on it but used a trim ring with them.  Is that correct?

    I too was wondering about the rims and the size tires.  Looks good! What size are they?  Thanks! :thumbsup:

    I'll check out that website on the hood issue!This car was a plain jane challenger when my wife and I restored it 17 years ago.We made it into a Rallye with a few other things that we wanted on it.The car was "born" with 14" Magnum 500's,I like the look of the 15".

    I guess I've just never paid attention. I've always been under the impression from mine that it was a common color.

    Beautiful car though. Thanks for sharing.
