The Dodge Challenger Message Board

Has anyone watched the make over on a 1971 dodge challenger r/t on T.L.C.
I saw it last night. I think they should have made it stock. Check it out

The colour combo does not work for me.

I agree with Dave. And those rims suits better on horse carriage.

All black or all green but not both together . I think the sidestripe might work with a single dark colour but it would probably look better without it. And those wheels are just plain ugly ( and far too big - even for me )

I personally must say i dont like when they tear out the interior , gauges etc .
My oppinion is that they destroyed a beutiful car ! It would have been much cooler if they had went with an original resto or something , but then again its Chip Foose who did it . Dont like his style at all.

But the owner seemed happy to get it back though

Challengers should not be allowed to be blinged

I don´t like the seats very much. I would have preferred all-black seats myself. The rims are OK but too high. I wouldn´t go higher than 18" on a Challenger myself. It looks as if they are 20" or something and that is too big. The stripes reminds me of ´Cudas AAR stripes. I have always been a great fan of them.

Yeah your car looks real nice with those sensible proportions Tony.

Thats just plain WRONG what they did to that poor car, but, whatever floats somebodies boat I guess.

They forgot a few custom options in my opinion ;

*the optional 6" dia. steering wheel so's ya can drive it with handcuffs on

* not quite low enough to drive and pick cabbage at the same time

* the "chick magnet" dingall balls around the windshield

*dual jap 4 banger fart pipes out back.

OK, I'll go away now, Just my opinion

Oh my god!!!
WHY??? WHYYYY????
Grrrrrr....
