yea i think the colour scheme lets it down i realise its a touch of patriotism but i think they could of done better especially when theyre spending that kind of loot

Thanks for that. Some much better looking cars there.

Have you noticed what was under the hood ... very interesting...
I missed that show only because i had to wait for visa .. **!!!**!

Yeah i saw the new Hemi. I liked the hemi with the six pack too and as for the engine in the back of that Prowler....

That new challenger racer is too cool, dont care for the paint job,however. A Rod Shop colour scheme would suffice. Or maybe a Don Carlton tribute, or how about a candymatic paint scheme?

Have you guys seen the special edition Superbird in the back of Mopar Action?

by **dave-r** » 07 Nov 2006 14:40

Nope! I don't get any magazines any more.

by **Eddie** » 07 Nov 2006 16:28

The only magazine(s) I get anymore is MoPar collectors guide. 15.00 bucks a year and I make it up on free advertising and sell my parts through it. Just omit their personal rants.

Why not Dave?

1) I have had to cut back on spending a lot. Rather than looking for one way to save $200 a month I looked for 200 ways to save $1 a month.

2) Every time I read one of those magazines I see a new or improved product that I simply "must have".

I will never get this Challenger on the road if I don't concentrate on working with what I have already got.

It doesn´t work for me. Why? :s022:

by **christer** » 07 Dec 2006 20:16

Hi Guys! Sorry for my long time absence. I have been on a coffee-break. :shock:

I have borrowed a couple of HI-RES mopar pic´s from http://semadigital.com/ . I hope you will like them.

by **christer** » 07 Dec 2006 20:29

....and thanks to my Buddy Irfanview :arrow:

Can anyone explain why a +4 meg pic becomes a 1 megpic when I choose "Set new size as percentage of original=90%". It doesn´t make sence to me that the pic becomes a fraction of what it was :s006:

I saw that black 70 Challenger with the mondo Hemi Fast fuel injected ect.. at the GoodGuys show in INDY. I thought they ruined it!! I dont like the DONK look on sixties muscleCars, it makes them look cheap and gaudy. I appreciate the effort and skill and of course the cash required for the look but look like what? Like Poop thats what! the Nascar inspired 68 Charger built by Romeo furio? was badazz, it had a 472 Hemi endurance engine, Nascar styling and aero work, all in all a tribute to the sixties and the men who raced them. Well done.I thought the Mopar Perf. display was better looking. Dont get me wrong I dont dislike the modern stuff its that they went overboard on it. Thats all.

As a show-stopper, Yes! As an eye-catching dragracer, Yes! As a streeter, No! It is a little bit too much for my taste, I guess. :s022:

I am having the idea that the car would benefit from switching the blue and white colour fields. According to the theory, a car looks lower if the car has the darker colour at the bottom and the less dark colour at the top. Why they have choosen to have the blue colour on top is probably because they had the black T/A-hood in mind and just wanted to increase the black area!?
