Its not. I like the Camaro. Saw a black one last week. They are cool for what they are, I'd drive one.

But the Challenger just has this road presence in the right color (black or orange)

 

If you've seen my posts on the Camaro, you know I'm not a fan of the looks. However, like most ugly cars, it can look ok in certain colors, and in person is always different than in pictures. Still, I don't think it will ever compare, looks-wise, to the Challenger. Personally, I like Challenger in black, flat black, dark gray, and dark red.

 

I've only seen one challenger in flat black, and he just got it done, its on the forums. I think his is the only one at this time.

Its pretty fucking mean.

But everyone in this forum pretty much knows my giant boner for the chally.

 

I was thinking of the drag version that was on Inside Line last year...figured it was only a matter of time before a regular person did it.

mmmm

 

got the primer sanded today. spent about 5 hours sanding. i should have the truck ready for paint in the next 2 days so im thinking it should be painted this weekend if all goes well.

 

well my buddy has stuff to do this next sat and was busy this weekend but now were schedualed to paint the truck next weekend. the front bumper and tailgate are painted and i will upload pics when i get them back home.

on a side note,i raced a nissan GTR this weekend in vegas,it was a heads up run from about 65mph and he didnt get but 2 car lengths on me when we hit 140 because my car governed out on me,which i didnt know my car did..but he gave me a big thumbs up!

 

heres a pic i snapped of the tailgate when i took the truck to the shop. were painting it tomorrow. i should have pics by sunday of the truck completed.

 

nice build bro. and those challengers are clean . hope all goes well

 

^thanks man !

truck is painted, gonna let it sit for a few hours and pick it up from the shop and do the taillights tomorrow and put it all together. pics will follow!

 

heres what 5 months of hard work looks like!












ill get more pics tomorrow of the taillights on the truck after i got pick them up. they are still drying right now cause i just sprayed them about 30 min ago.

thanks for commin by!

 

as u can see i need to let the sun heat up the bumper cause it got a little mis-shapen in the middle from being on the bumper stand. and dont mind the paint on the exhaust. its getting cut off and replaced with a hidden flowmaster 50 series. and the spare tire mount is getting removed (which is what u see under the middle)

new windshield is going on monday and window tint up front in the next couple weeks.

 

Awesome job!

 

thanks!

 

looks great!!1


btw, pics are little too big.

 

Looks Amazing man...you should be proud. I just wish you would do that on a regular basis, make a living from it, eventually have your own shop. But good work man! Cant wait to see it with the lights, tint, rims and that ugly exhaust cut off. And get the interior put back together slacker! HAHA, jk man.

 

thanks guys. yah i didnt feel like resizing the pics,ill do the ones i take tomorrow.

 

Looks good, loving the front

 

yah the front is def the main focal point i think

 

Nice, the back looks bad ass now with the tails! I know I remember you were going back and forth on the wheels and I may have missed your final decision. ETA on them?

 

well the wheels i ordered were put on back order for a month so i cancelled the order,and decided to let my wife choose the ones she wants...so its prob gonna be about a month from now before the truck is actually sittin on chrome. she will be home next friday and we have to file taxes,were gonna use that money for the wheels.

 

awesome! looks great

 

Didnt think I would like the black on the lights, but I actually do. Job well done so far. Good luck come next Friday

 

It looks great.

 

Awesome job!! The truck looks great!!!

 

The truck looks really clean! Nice work.

I hope that means you two are working out your relationship.

 

thanks again guys. unfortunatly shes still saying were not going to work out our marriage...but i decided to be the nice guy and let her drive the truck but am not giving it to her to keep.

shell be home in less than 2 weeks so im just going to go day by day and see what happens when she comes home,but my hopes arent too high. all of my friends and family say not to let her drive the truck and tell her to go fuck herself,but i still dont feel right doing that. its a tough decision to make. ill let u guys know what happens next week, wish me luck!

 

Good luck man and I know you feel like you did it for her and part of you probably feels like it will help get her back (even though deep down you know the truck cant fix things). I would say you might as well let her drive it around but don't let her take advantage of you. Be strong, things will work out

 

well she thinks im trying to buy her with the truck...which im not.


i started building it before i realized how serious she was about leaving...then it was too late to just stop with the build.

im going to tell her if she dosent take good care of it,and if shes a total cunt to me im going to take it back. but well see when the time comes (soon)

thanks again!


edit: if i werent going to let her drive it i would just put it up for sale right now to get as much money as i could,get completely out of debt with money left over and only have to worry about the challenger monthly payment. i would never drive it as it were my own...its a nice truck,but i hate trucks and would never own one as a daily driver

 

If I were in your shoes, I'd just sell it given your personal situation, to recoup some of your costs. If she's already saying that you're using a truck to keep her, this is going to be a problem. The truck looks so beautiful, it'd have some buyers.

 

It looks really nice man, the pant job looks pristine! Hopefully it'll end up sitting on some nice rims too...

 

Wow bro, that's a fucking beautiful truck. I'm not a truck person at all, but that's a sexy vehicle. I may be partially attracted to the color more than the truck itself =). I love white everything!
My next ride... maybe a white CBR

 

only thing is,i promised her the truck already to drive... so it would be fucked to take that back..plus shes put a few hundred $ into it herself.

none of the cost to build this truck came out of pocket except a couple hundred on misc parts for the stereo n stuff.

everything put into this truck came from the insurance claim,which my parents pay the insurance cause it used to be in thier business name

 

OIC. Rock on then! I'm still impressed with the great job!

 

thanks alot. its was so much work its rediculous.

it was def worth the outcome tho,i cant wait to see it with the wheels and front tint. i should hve the tint done wed if the guy has the time.

 

You know, you may have promised her she could drive the truck, but when you got married, she promised to be faithful and true.

Get a good lawyer, make sure you are protected from her and keep your kid.

Oh, and if you can't drive it, sell the truck. You know she will come after anything you own.

 

^haha lucky for me both my cars (truck and challenger) are under my parents name,she couldnt take em if she tried!

but i agree with your above statement. shes in hawaii now so we will be able to talk on the phone so i think i may be able to get kind of an idea of how shes going to be next week.

 

sell it and forget about her. If not you're delaying the inevitable.
