Still need to get a set of 3" tail pipes from Flowmaster so I can set off car alarms again, new chrome on the front bumper (or a new bumper), pins, a couple brackets to lower the leafs a tiny bit, new antenna, and thinking about doing up a custom front spoiler...but this is where I'm hoping to take my '71 as far as ride height, and outward appearance.

It will have blacked out hideaways with a single chrome strip through the middle, and I expect I'll leave the outer border chrome as well.

It will be sitting on Torq Thrust Original 17x8s all around wrapped in Fuzion 255/50/R17s (which are already in my attic) -- riding on newly completed suspension work with new leafs, brackets, bolts, poly kit, front and rear Hotchkis sway bars, and KYBs all around.

Also going to have to invest a couple solid weeks in body work Scheme will be based on (C5) Plum Crazy paint as the light colour, with a deeper tone for the sides. The bottom colour is not great in the pic, would probably be brighter, but you'll get the idea -- also, there may be some left over shading from the Charger that was photoshopped -- no special body treatment there, intention is that it will all be stock metal.

 

WOW[sm=yikesomg.gif] Good luck with your project looks like your on your way to one sweet ride.

Keep us up to date with pics of the progress!!

 

Fabulous ! I'm in the middle of a '66 Lemans that we're doing off of a sketch we came up with in photoshop. Amazing what you can do now without spraying any paint. Great to be able to communicate these ideas to the paint guy, too. Nice job.
