Dave,when you're all done with the wheels,make sure you have the correct valve caps.

Will this car be displayed Friday and Sat. at the nats or just while being judged? Do you know what time it will be judged? I want to make sure I get to see this one in the flesh and dont want to miss my chance. Incredible job on this car, by 8MP camera will be getting a work-out on this car :-)

We used the "rarer" Schraeder caps with the "wing tip" cap top design. There were more than one vendor when it came to these small items.

Not bashing...just asking


My question is: Do you have "before" shots of each side showing totally different and more complicated patterens?




If our patterns are incorrect, the factory is to blame! We matched what was originally on this car. Again, we have documented ALL aspects pertaining to the car and documented it throughout the entire process. We did our very best to put every characteristic back just the way we found it. Just as reminder (for those who want to bring their millimeter ruler to check our over sprays, etc...) it was TREMENDOUSLY difficult to match spray patterns exactly the way some guy did it 40 years ago. I believe we were at least 95% precise with what we tried to emulate and copy.

As requested Alan here are the results of that particular goal with regards to the undercoat patterns:

It will be displayed all day Saturday at the OE tent. It will be judged during that time. I hope to meet you and see you there! Thanks.

Dave...That's exactly what I was requesting THANK YOU.....

Up here in the "rust belt" I don't get to see many original examples that have survived.

Your side by side shots are tremendous and will certainly be an asset for future projects.

I can't believe that the patterens differ so much from side to side...
Again....Thank you for taking the time to put together the photos.

uh..yah...hi.. I don't know much about well..much but i'm pretty sure those drums are wrong, those are for dodge school bus. I have a long distance cousin who not only worked on the assembly line back in 70 but also moonlighted as a school bus driver who has verified this without a doubt. The red isn't paint at all, probably splashes from some poor kid that fell under the wheels. Most likely they re-packaged them and hid them in inventory to hide the evidence.....good try but no dice.

....If he was a school bus driver and he was moonlighting on a second job then he was violation his union contract....he would of been fired so this could of not be true!!



....there is nothing like driving my 1968 Hemi Dart around town and having people looking at you like you're nuts!!

I had the opportunity to check out the Challenger again today.

All I can say is that I hope you guys are planning on going to the Nationals next month.

This picture did not turn out as well as I planned, but it does show the texture on the rear package tray. (Click on the attachment for a better view.)

Original on the left again...

It's hard to tell by the picture, but the original unit has a different U-bolt, washers, and nuts.
