I have seen Corvettes painted that way before but never a Challenger. Cool with something different. Which colour will you have it repainted in?

They make a nice matching pair don't you think?

I'd like to paint it EV2 but not sure yet My 70 Gran Cuda 10yrs ago was EV2 and I miss it! Can't touch anything nowadays without refinancing your house! I don't mind the colors so much but it is a little much on the street. Thanks Guys

TOM

I like the t-handle better NOT.

by **72challengerorange** » 09 Dec 2007 22:37

Thanks Guys!

I got the handle at Carlisle this year. Gunslinger, got it on the last day for a great price! Still got the T-handle too. I still got the TT rims for when I want something with a bit less bling.

Sweet ride! I too just love that pistol Grip. Course I like holding things in my right hand anyways! :s023:

I patched a hole under the battery. Never Butt welded before. Got better as I went.

I got it at a local Auto Parts store called PEP BOYS. Not sure if you got that over there. It was like 14 bucks. Here is a better pic of the detail.

Looks really cool! I like the Composite look.

by **botari123** » 10 Jan 2008 1:41

love the wheel tire combo
sizes?
how much room is left?

by **72challengerorange** » 12 Jan 2008 17:49

17x8F 245/45/17
17x8R 255/45/17

No rubs, could definately go bigger on the rear. I think the rears will fit on the front, but I'm not 100% on that. I may try it out this winter though.

yea that stuff does look cool i have been looking at using the brushed stainless steel they use on kitchen cupboard nowdays my soninlaws father is a cabinet maker so ill have no trouble getting it im not big on wood grain in a muscle car it belongs in luxury cars
cheers ian

The thing with brushed stainless is it really shows the finger marks. WD40 cleans it well but you will be forever smelling of oil. :wink:
