[thedodgeboys]

Pretty sweet Maybe he will stop by and tell us about the build... 

[Ponch ®]

I see what they did there.

[Patronus]

^ I found that fairly funny.. 

[WHITE AND RED 69]

Pretty sweet! I like number 1 a bit more than 2 but both are killer. 

[noff57]

I like 1 as well but i wouldnt complain with either

[moparstuart]

looks to foosey (split two tone ) for me (i know i know the song )  plus it has the same color scheme year one used on the goldberg superbird

  sorry Kenny love your other cars but this one i just dont get it  



how about a deeper color blue like B-7   

[thedodgeboys]

Yearones post says KWS can't decide between the first one or the second one.


If I were doing this car I would use the first one but add the 71 billboard stripe in black or a silver gray kind of a ghost
Billboard very subtle maybe with KWS in the call out instead of 440 or Hemi..

I like #1 better because it looks more like a factory AAR scheme and less like a Foose job. The one with black on the bottom has Foose written all over it.

Yes - #1.

[Chryco Psycho]

#1 

[Ghoste]

I think #1 is better too and I agree on the Foose look.  I wasn't crazy about many of the Foose look cars when they began to use the same tricks over and over and the #2 one looks Foosier to me.

[FLG]

#1 for me too


Hey KWS were waiting on ya!

[KWS]

Hi guys. I didn't know if I should post about this car over here because it's not a Charger. I'm going with #1, we just wanted to get some people involved in the decision process by letting them vote. The car is currently sitting in storage in CA in primer with loose parts piled up in it. It's gonna be a killer ride. Most likely it'll have a Gen-III Hemi in it, possibly supercharged with all the goodies you'd expect from a modern pro-touring car. There will be a slight FOOSE influence as he will be making the wheels for it. The car will be heading to Year One to begin work fairly soon, though I'm not sure what the expected date of completion will be. I'll keep you guys posted as the car progresses.

[Todd Wilson]

Thats gonna be an interesting build! Keep us updated with pics and info!

Looks to be a set of big wheel'd Mopars again..Nothing new there. Resist the big wheels people....

Just a tip Kenny.
No curries before you take it for it's first cruise

You are welcome to join us over @ www.Cuda-Challenger.com as well 

[nvrbdn]

looks like another fun mopar build.

[bill440rt]

I'm liking the first rendition. Looks like it's gonna be a cool 'Cuda, Kenny. 
Looking forward to some progress pics!

With all due respect Cooter, variety is the spice of life. If every Mopar looked the same and all rode on 15" wheels it'd get a little boring around here.

[Bob T]

Amen to that KWS, I like all styles, if done tastefully, not the DUB stuff... I like the 1st option also, Blue on the sides, it looks nice & classy, I would do a wheel with 5 spokes instead of 6 maybe, but that's just my opinion, I like it either way... Looks Bad Ass

[autodynamics]

Cooter loves to chime in about wheel sizes

Hes had a hard on for 15" wheels forever

Like Kws said 15" wheels on every car would be
BORING.
Plus you can't add big brakes behind 15"

I bet cooter has a rotary phone as well
And still has rabbit ears on the tv

[NYCMille]

What's wrong with a rotary phone? I hear the old folks in the group home love 'em. 

[autodynamics]

That and Walkmans !! Hi fidelity !!

KWS, if you read this, you handled it very well. I thank you for that. Maybe I shoulda kept my "Big wheel" comment to myself, but I didn't.
As for you kid,  You like Big wheels, great....I don't great...

Mentioned you to a couple of my friends, and we are just itching to meet 'ya kid...Come see us sometime....


Let's leave it at that before things out of hand..You leave me the f*ck alone, and I you....Kool?

It's preference and personal taste.  That's it.  Kenny's cars aren't ghetto cars.  There's money, time and thought that goes into them.  I think big wheels look good on some and bad on others.  But again, that's just my outlook.  I hate seeing big wheels on ghetto cars.  The kind that the wheels & tires are worth more than the car.  To me it's cheesy and dumb.  
Cooter has a beer belly?   We need pictures Cooter.  

[Daytona R/T SE]

Wait a minute...

I have a rotary phone!



It works, too!

[Fred]

If they gave me one for free, I'd be happy with either one . And I'd drive it too. 

[Ghoste]

I'm also not one who is too crazy about the big wheels.  Room for both points of view but my personal taste just finds the big wheels on the musclecars to be silly looking.  There are lots who think any that are smaller than 17 look silly.  What can you say, its a crazy world.

[skip68]

Sorry Fred, but Kenny said this car is being built for me.  He keeps bugging me to hang out with him.   He tells all his friends he's buddies with "skip68"    
It's kinda embarrassing but what can I say to a fan?    
So I'll say it now publicly, Kenny is my buddy.    
  So when can I pick up my car KWS?    
   

P.S.  Kenny, if you could be so kind as to throw in a gas card that would be great.     
Your new bff...... Chuck......................aka skip68

Whoa Ghoste, Better watch out making remarks like that...I mean, How can you run brakes that are designed for racing on your car that will never see a race track, with 15" wheels? Daggone, I thought everybody knew that the 11" Discs from the factory will never stop a Musclecar. What were you thinking? Your gonna have to upgrade to 40" rotors and 12 piston calipers soon or you won't be able to drive your sh*t any longer on today's roads. WTF?

[autodynamics]

Nothing like a redneck comment 

[Chryco Psycho]

Wheels are the easiest thing to change out , you can alter the whole look of a car in 10 mins !
Personally I like them , not too big but 17-18 look great , imporve the handling & there are some wicked tire choices in larger sizes + the benefit of larger brakes , never a bad thing .

EXACTLY !!!!
And why people get hung up on wheels I will never understand

[Ghoste]

I think probably because its also one of the most personal statements people will add to their car.  But I'm only guessing.

Agreed!!!!!!

[Ponch ®]

99% of the compliments I get on my car are about the wheels. And yes, they're 22"s and no, they are not "ghetto".

[Ghoste]

I'd argue though that the newer cars were styled with larger diameter wheels in mind.  And you are right, they aren't ghetto, they are more retro but thats a good thing.

yeah, but *some* people think that anything over 15" is automatically ghetto.

[autodynamics]

I can actually think of a few people on this forum
Who subscribe to calling any wheel over 15"
As ghetto

Not pointing any fingers but "they" know who they are !!!!

[skip68]

Those wheels look right for your car Ponch.  Most new cars wheels are bigger but they are part of the styling like was said.   What I call ghetto is an 1985 caprice with 24's.  We've got a few members here that have 18's or 20's on their old chargers and I think they look good.   I think it depends on the wheel. 

[autodynamics]

Piss and cereal don't mix !!!

Damn !!!!

[Vainglory, Esq.]

Hmm. This thread is about 12% 'Cuda build, 87% big wheel vs. little wheel, and 1% WTF.

Let's try to skew that back toward the 'Cuda build...




If it means anything, I like #1 as well. I would like more details, and of course pictures when they happen.

[Fred]

That's exactly right. 

[Ghoste]

How many cars does Kenny have now?  The GL, the Duster, a 3rd gen(?) what else?  If you see this Kenny, do you keep them all or let them go as each new project comes?

[FLG]

Back to the programming please.

[Nacho-RT74]

about wheels deal... I love stock 15", however I still like 17"s but as MAX SIZE, keeping some room for rubber. More than that and I would say you, put in on a railroad. Also with room for Rubber will allow us to still find white letters tires on that size, to make it look even more classy.

Then if 17" on a Muscle car, go with classy/vintage style, and will be less shocking. You have to see your car as a one unit, not as a car with wheels or wheels with a car on them

There is one detail, about stock and big wheels decision, and is IT LOOKS the 15" tires variety is going down day after day, so market is MAKING US to switch even we don't want to change from 15" ( Look at tirerack website for example, and will note allmost to NONE 15" tires options ).

Now, about the Cuda itself... Hard to say. Id like to keep the "stockish" look and paint scheeme like number one, But I LIKE A LOT the number 2 variation of number one, making to "WAKE UP" the stripe on quarter

[Todd Wilson]

My truck has 20's! Is it ghetto?

[Ghoste]

Kansas mafia ghetto maybe, but that is an entirely different thing.

[skip68]

     
No Todd, that's hillbilly.       I didn't like them at first on muscle cars until I saw more and more.  Then it grows on you I guess.   Anyway, I'm curious about what you do with your cars to KW.  Are they just a collection of toys like your hobby or do you run them at the track?   

[Daytona R/T SE]

Dunno...

Chrome 'em out and we'll see!

[nvrbdn]

the good thing about KWS is he drives the crap out of his cars. not garage art, but road machines

[Ghoste]

When he has time?   I would have to think his schedule is pretty full.
