The guys all went crazy modifying the AUTO-RAD radiator close-out panel! There is no way that anyone could ever tell that it was modified.



This picture shows the custom bracing made to clear the Holley- HI-Ram intake.. The cowl was also cut and sliced up in the front, to clear the intake.

We have been having a VERY hard time dealing with trying to pick a color. The rendering was made on whatever Matt thought looked good, not a paint code. We have loved the color on the rendering.. all the way up until we got a few spray-outs. It just didn't POP like we wanted. We took four guys from the shop and went out color searching at different car dealerships. The color we decided on was not at ANY of the dealers.. Its surprising and wayy different than the rendering was done up like. Change of plans!

The red would pop on the new 2018 Grand Sport ceramic matrix gray as well.

It's difficult to find the right color for a 67/68, unless it's black. There are not enough body lines to cast shadows for contrast. Funny that you have a new challenger in the pic it's similar in some ways, tall door panels with little style lines to break it up. The color in your rendering is awesome, arguably the second best color for the 67/68. It's that color that is hard to describe, is it green? blue? silver? flips in different light, specially with the contrasting hockey stick and red rims. I would say dig deeper and find that color. But then again you didn't ask

The front and rear flush mounted windows were fitted and some modifications were made to make the windows fit better around the gaps, along with shaving the drip rails and smoothing some things over on this beast. This is going to be Soo nice when it is completed.

The new color has been decided! This car will POP when it is completed. The blue is a huge change.. But we decided that for our first build, It has to be bright!
