And what it currently looks like...(Note, I didn't remove the front suspension when I had it painted, so those areas that aren't painted will be getting painted. I built a doly for the front that will allow me to have all those areas repainted to clean it up more.)

There will be more photos added as more work gets done, but college is currently taking up all my time.

Until then, here's how it sits.

That Challenger will be a very nice car when you get it together! I love plum crazy! It's the manliest purple there is...hell, I'd even rock any Mopar with panther pink...as long as it's a true Mopar color :) Keep up the sweet work!
