Nice car and great work!

Nice job. Is she going to be a driver ?

 

[moparlee]

Good work and nice looking Challenger. Other than the shock mount support, the under body looks to be real solid. No other work needed there?

 

[72golddustermike]

Under Carriage was great because of the undercoat option Shock support was solid but ripped from air shocks. Plan on driving and showing. I was just wandering about a numbers breakdown on how many were built this way.

Can you post a pic of the "ripped" areas of the shock mount. It would be a good warning for guys considering air shocks. Mine also had cracks due to air shocks...

BTW, nice car.

Enjoying your build on the Challenger!

This is what air shocks do someone had already tried to patch it once

 

[jeff968]

That is a very unusually configured Challenger. I would guess that someone ordered it special back in the day. Looking good. You do know the rally hood was added? I would add it too.

I've seen cars crack like this that never had air shocks. It's just a weak spot.

Very nice work! Great unique car too.
