Thats awesome!!! But Please, OH PLEASE paint your rad support BLACK!

Other wise the awesome paint will shine through your grill and take away one of the 70 Challengers best features.

This one below isn't "soooo" bad because the hood release piece is black but a lot of cars do have theirs body color as well. :shock:

But this is still a bad looking grill. Many a MoPar magazine point out this issue. :thumbsup:

Good luck and keep up the great work. :mrgreen:

Yeah I used to bang on at people about the rad support for years. Mainly in the late '90s. There were so many high dollar cars making that mistake until just two or three years ago.

Also I LOVE that body/stripe paint combo. :mrgreen:

Superb!

I can't wait till I get a chance to stop by and see the car. It will be soon though! Glad to see progress is happening. Brant
