So the flexible brake hose does not go right to the caliper?  ??

Absolutely beautiful.  Congrats!     Now you need to shrink wrap it to preserve it forever.

It is definately an gorgeous car. Love it.

Even like the show sign that was made up. Definately a rare car. Then again aren't all 500's rare? JK.

What an outstanding job   Congratulations to all involved.  I see Carl was the one who outbid me for the glovebox paper work.  I guess the paperwork was destined to end up in a hemi 500, if not mine I'm glad Carl got it

From Carl:
"Hi Robin, I just got back from Vegas, a few 18 hr days and an all nighter got her ready to go.
It won the World's Ultimate Mopar (stock).
So Kori wins that for the second year in a row.
We will change a few things to make it better for Carlisle.
Cheers, Carl"

come on now someone needs to post some photo's of it when it was at Vegas. Especially since I know it was on display at the Cannery. It had to be.

I'd like to see a few more pics of the car in it's "before" state too,.. if at all possible,.. I keep looking at this thread and drooling..

The first time I saw the car was on Ebay, back in 2005 or 2006. That's where I got the pics of it in limelight colors.
I'm certain I have a few more shots of it....somewhere.
Most of the pics of it in the torn-down state can be found on other threads.

Here is the second shot from MATS/08. The first I attached above, showing the Charger being inspected by the Judges. To reiterate, the car won the "Word's best Mopar" in the stock class.
For those interested in raising their car to this level of competition, a quick look through this thread should give you a basic idea of what's involved.
Selling your house to raise the required funds might be the first step!!

Cliff Gromer from Mopar Action magazine was the first to take pictures of the car following it's win in the judging.
Here he is, standing on a ladder to get up to five feet in total height.
(Cliff takes the ladder wherever he goes, as he finds it an essential tool for carrying out eye-level conversations).

BEAUTIFUL!!! Can't wait to see what the pics look like in the magazine!

Those kelsey-hayes wheels look stunning with F8!

Congrats on the win and now it's time to start reaping the benefits of all the hard work you put into the car!

"The shortest Cliff in North America"  HAHAHAHA!

Okay so you guys are definately taking to Carlisle right? If so then count me in for wanting to shoot about 500 photo's of it at Carlisle then.

Was that Galen under the car in a few of the pictures?  Did he have anything nice to day about it (because he really should!)?  He seems to find something wrong in everyones car that I've heard about.

Better or worse, that's usually why he's hired... Sometimes to make a list of what's "wrong" is much shorter than making one for what's "right".. Unfortunately, sometimes the "right" stuff is lost in the few "wrongs".......
