You guys are too much LOL

I put some bling on the sides of the car.

Here is a shot of the bottom of the battery tray.

Tom

I made a plate out of some 18ga steel.

by **Jimiboy** » 25 Mar 2008 6:02

Nice touch with those mirrors... I guess the fuses under the tray belongs to your amplifier?

by **72challengerorange** » 26 Mar 2008 0:51

The big ones(fuses), 1 does the Amplifier and the other is redundant to the battery since there is one already in the bypas. I just needed to have a spot to put the big amp wire. The smaller ones 3(20's) do the High /Low/Fog Lamps and the 30 which should be lower does the Ignition. I didn't want the car shutting off from a bad fuse. The instructions show it going straight to the battery no fuse. I'll probably put a 15A on it.

Tom

Sorry for the bad editing.LOL

by **Chris** » 29 Mar 2008 22:39

Great job, those stripes really top it off. Were they difficult to do?

by **72challengerorange** » 29 Mar 2008 23:11

I didn't think they were too bad. I followed the instruction and they turned out pretty good. The 422 decal is a bit crooked, but I have another if it bothers me too much.LOL You mix 1 cap of rubbing alcohol, 5-10 drops of dishwashing liquid detergent and water in a spray bottle. Spray it on the car and decal gives you plenty of time to adjust the decals. Squeegie out the mix and it's done!

Tom :thumbsup:

I figured worst case scenario would be to order another kit.LOL I got it on the Bag for like 60 bucks. :s024:

by **Hezzel** » 30 Mar 2008 12:26

Nice work

Looks very good

by **72challengerorange** » 30 Mar 2008 14:10

Thanks Hezzel,

I got the Rear Spoiler on to complete the look.

Tom

by **Eddie** » 30 Mar 2008 16:06

Makes me wish I wouldve kept mine. I had an original Chrysler Duckbill from the early 70's it was arrow straight too :frown:

Your car looks terrific Tom!! :thumbsup:

by **bananaskin** » 30 Mar 2008 17:08

Awesome

by **Jimiboy** » 30 Mar 2008 17:56

I like those wings on the trunk, in my eyes they look smoother then the "go wing" (nothing negative about them, my oppinion only)

by **72challengerorange** » 30 Mar 2008 21:46

Thanks Guys,

Here is the drivers side and a shot of the stripe with the mirror up close.

Tom

by **bananaskin** » 30 Mar 2008 22:34

That mirror is way too shiney

by **72challengerorange** » 30 Mar 2008 23:28

Yeah, I was supposed to have painted ones but the body shop lost the drivers side mirror. I'm getting used to the chrome.LOL

BTW they paid for 1 of these new ones....

Tom

by **Chris** » 30 Mar 2008 23:34

That car is gorgeous! I bought 2 chrome ones off ebay for over 100 each and ended up sand blasting them because there were small pits in them, now they will be painted.

That was the original plan. :s006:

These "new" ones were a little under 400 for the pair. :s005:

Thanks Tom :thumbsup:

Slow progress to report. Pre-fitting some of this stuff, figuring out where it's all going to go.
Got my Dash lights working too finally.LOL
