"usraptr" = United States raptor - bird of prey = United States Bald Eagle.  FYI, somebody else thought of it first so I had to drop the "O" in raptor.

This is one sick ride, very clean. I was hoping after seeing the Orange tape that looked so striking against the White, i was hoping you were going to fit Bright Orange stripes up the sides. :2thumbs:

Ok, They are Ted Brocks. I thought that gas cylinder looked familiar. I didn't see the cutouts milled into them..   :bigsmile:

That is very nice!

I was wondering though, does your gas cap open to the rear?

Back in the old days, you couldn't use a Charger's flip top on a Challenger because the "fuel" letters would be upside down.

If I remember correct Shelby, it's a new chally gas cap they sank into the quarter.
