That's awesome!!! I love it.  I hope you are fitting the wheels(and the rest of the upgrades) before paint.  You don't want everything painted and then find out the wheel lips need to be rolled.  You can also have all the excess holes in the engine comp filled as well.

Are you just blacking out the grill or are you going to do something more custom?

Ya, I like the grill of the 65 better.  That's why I asked if he was going to do something custom and get rid of the 66 egg crates.

Very cool!   Reminds me of the Green Hornet car!

1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

Looks good!

Are you keeping those rims or getting ones more like in the first pic?
