wow that thing is awesome  :drool5:

KWS if you're out there, just a suggestion. the headlamp and wiper switches where they are blue you should make them red  :2thumbs:

If you have no vision or creative spirit, you can always fall back on the way the factory did it.

Hey guys. The car is currently on display at the Mopar booth at SEMA. I just left there. I took pics of everything except my own car! I do have a few more recent pics that were taken a few days ago. Some things have changed in with the car in the past few months. It's still not 100% done, but it's getting there. Here's some older pics before some of the changes.






The center console and shifter in the pics above have been replaced. Kicker audio built the custom console, and Billet Technology made the custom pistol grip shifter. I am trying to find pics of the interior for you and will post them later.

I designed a gold stripe for the car and it was applied the day before SEMA, but there were some issues/flaws in with the material and it's application so it had to be removed. I have some pics of the gold stripe below.

Pardon the quality these were taken with my cell phone.





The guys at Mopar came to the rescue and designed a flat black stripe and had it made and applied it on the spot at SEMA. So for now here's how it looks. These pics were emailed to me by a friend. He took them in the Mopar booth.






There's still some work to be done. I'll keep you guys updated as I can with the car's progress.

I like both stripe designs, but like the black one better overall. Car's lookin' pretty schweet! :icon_smile_cool:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

That does look good although I am more of a second gen guy.  I think I have seen the Xtreme Lee Rides episode like 20 times.  I have it on my DVR when I need some motivation.....

Kenny Waynes cell phone takes better pics than my camera  :smilielol:
Daddy ran whiskey in a big black dodge
bought it at an auction at the masons lodge,
Johnson County Sherriff painted on the side,
just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside,
well him and my uncle tore that engine down,
I still remember that rumblin' sound.....
