    I think Keith has a HydroBoost unit on there to assist the brakes.

    That green paint is slick ... almost seems to "glow" doesn't it? Keith, did you have them add a bit of pearl to that paint mix? Seems like it would almost fluoresce and glow in the dark if you turned off all of the lights! Coming along nicely ... hope to see it soon.

    The Challenger really looks good will it be at the Easter car show? How does the challenger stop without being power brakes?

    No Easter show. Too much to do plus the whole interior is on hold. It has a hydroboost system. It is power. Assist comes from
    power steering pump.

    Looks like there is hydroboost setup for power brakes.

    I just bought some rolls of waterproof led strip lighting. It's cheap and you end up with lots more than you need. Learned from pinball machines that you use the colored LED's to enhance the lens. The rears are red and the front amber. I also bought the digitails LED lights for the tail lights and bought LED bulbs for the interior lights and amber 1157 LED bulbs for the front turn signals. Have to use a electronic flashes that I got from amazon. (Black Menba® frequency Adjustable 2-Pin Electronic LED Flasher, $7.50 each) The digitails lights are set up to go sequential, which is a cool feature. it can be turned off if you don't like it, but I did so they are sequential.

    Here are a few pics of the front turns and side markers with the LED strip. You just cut them off where it's marked and solder wires on.

    Seems my interior is a mystery. Need to find some better than stock seats, have them and the rear upholstered in white and try to find someone to do it and make the late model console fit and finish. Not sure who I can get to do these things, so it's up in the air for now. Also need a convertible top installed, hopefully at the same shop. Still a bit overwhelmed, but am slowly working through it. All new glass has to be bought and a power window setup.. Least I have the dash pad, gauges and steering column bought. Lots of details to work out, but I'll get it. Might not be this summer, but soon.

    Very nice.

    It looks great also

    It was from Greg Smith Equipment. It was 9000LB Atlas lift, extra long, extra wide. Came with Jack Tray and 4 drip trays. It will fit my Ram quad cab diesel 8' bed with no problem.
    I got the hydraulic rolling jack, caster set and a 1500LB tall jack stand all delivered for $4100. The rolling jack was $600 alone, but it's worth it.
