Is he the guy/shop that put the old Challenger body on the new chassis?

Yes....but if I recall correctly, it was a Charger. And it was definitely sweet.

WCC has done several re-bodies over the years. They never have a good stance in my opinion. That Charger sits too high in the front. Look at some of Stielow's latest builds. He has done several with LS9's and he uses Detroit Speed stuff front and rear. They did a test with him in Red Devil back to back with a Gen 5 Camaro (can't remember if it was a ZL1, Z28 or 1LE) and he was nearly equally fast in either car. To me, the aftermarket suspensions are so good now that a re-body wouldn't make a lot of sense unless you had a rollover ZL1 for cheap and a rusty shell and a whole lot of skill. Isn't the new Art Morrison IRS a Camaro Gen5 based system?

The wrecked ZL1's are not hard to come by. 20-25k for a descent one and probably another 10 k for a nice donor are a reproduction 69, and if say another 10-20k in misc make it all come together parts.
If I could find someone to do it all for around 20-30k. Be one sweet ride for 70-80k.!!!
