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. :s020:

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

All black or all green but not both together :s021:

. 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 :wink:

)

I personally must say i dont like when they tear out the interior , gauges etc :s001:

.
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 :mrgreen:

I don´t like the seats very much. :disbelief:

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. :s021:

The stripes reminds me of ´Cudas AAR stripes. I have always been a great fan of them. :thumbsup:

Many thanks to Dave Mcbride from the MMA UK for the cartoon

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
