I am really thinking about putting a shaker hood on it. I may decide when I get to the show. If a vendor has one, i may pull the trigger FK5 Shaker Challengers have been done to death Out of all the car shows I've been to in and around Atlanta, I can only remember one FK5 shaker car ('70 'cuda 440-6, IIRC) with an argent shaker. Nice group of E's, Morty426. All yours? Tim

last two. ran into issue with the leaf spring front bushings. Too large diameter. Supplier said the small diameter are for Hemi springs. I know the history of the car and doubt they were upgraded. Change they were out of standard and threw a set of Hemi springs under it during build?
How else are hemi springs different?

PAINT!!!! FINALLY!!!!!! due to go to the booth in a week or so. Vinyl top guy is scheduled to come pretty soon too.
going with a white rather than original black. Suggestions on white stripes, or just RT badge on fenders with maybe white bumble bee an the butt?
A little reluctant to add the black out on the hood- I NEVER saw a Challenger with that back in the day. Must have been a super rare option. Same as the dust trail on the 70 "runner. Never saw them back then, and I was a big time fan of the car back then.

Good choice on the white top. It will set the paint off nicely. I would probably go with the white stripe but that's just me. Tim
