LOVE it, simply LOVE it!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to see it all done. I knew I should have painted more than just my rims LOL
What did you use to paint your rims???

My husband painted my rims for me. It took a LOT of tape. He taped off the whole rim, then cut out the circles. He had a paint shop mix some regular automotive two-stage paint to match the pink decals I have on my car and put it in a spray can. First he sprayed the pink, then he sprayed a metallic clear, then the final clear coat. It took him 4 hours each rim. He did a great job!

FOUR HOURS A RIM?!!!!! [:@] OMFG....you have pictures of these things? For 16 hours they better do more than roll!

The front bumper IS NOT aligned (the bolts are just caught a thread or two)and the hood is only latched to the first strike. A few more things to bolt together and I'll be good to go (the headlights aren't bolted down either) Oh yeah....and I blacked out the FMIC too

More pix:

Looks great there LSP. But I think you stole my AAR Cuda idea cause I am waiting for the money to get my side exit and lowering springs! The paint job looks great. Do you have any side pics? And i wouldn't be afraid to drive a pink panther car...as long as no one could catch up to me

Looks awesome. Really! I like it a lot. I noticed in one of the pics at an angle it looks like the intercooler was painted too. (Black?). Or am I on crack? I also couldn't help but notice in some of the pics it almost looks like you're flipping somebody off. Then I thought no that's Crystal, she's a sweet girl, must've been something on the lens.
You need to give yourself a big pat on the back for this. I smell a magazine cover coming!

Oh yes, sweet little innocent me was definitely flipping someone off

Yes the intercooler is painted black also. I didn't think it looked right leaving it alone. I can't wait to put him all back together and get him back on the road again. Unfortunately the battery has lived its last leg, so I have to get a new one, but thats a minor inconvienience

Can't wait to see it finished....your project is giving me more ideas...Plum Crazy anyone?

The blackend intercooler and crosshair up front is a very nice touch. What other plans do you have for him? Have you thought about adding a carbon fiber pistol grip short shifter?

Here is a pic of my rims. They look really cool when the sun is shining directly on them. My hubby definitely got extra brownie points for painting them for me

wow! that thing will be a head turner when done.
try an ultima battery if it is turning into an occasional driver.
I hope plumb comes back for the challenger...hoping for a slab sided cuda even more though.
