Thanks all for the compliments, grizzlygiff, yes this color changes dramatically in light. almost tan in bright sun etc.

Jake

Progress is slow going. Exhaust is on. Vinyl top is on and headliner is in. Finish the rest of the interior and chase issues. http://www.jakesgeneralstore.com/image/view/2106/_original

 not a complaint or a dig, but to my eye the wheel and tire combo looks a little small,.. are they?... car looks fantastic BTW!  :drool5: Great Job!  :2thumbs:

Jake your car looks fantastic! Love that color and the new black VT really makes the color pop. Congrats!
I did notice one big problem. Space appears to be at a premium in your shop so I offer you my assistance. I'll take that nasty old rust bucket Dart off your hands. I do what I can.  :lol:
FLY NAVY/Marine Corps or take the bus!

Finally got to drive the Charger to a car show last weekend. Will post some outdoor pics soon. Wiring issue was loose nut on amp meter gauge. Friday night at 10pm I was still putting seats in the car. Made it to the show Sat AM. First real road trip. What a blast to drive. The 440 is very stout and the car runs just perfect. Best reward for building this car for the past 2 years is finally getting to drive it. Some finishing left to do and a lot of cruising left to do before the snow flys.

If you want a longer drive to go on we are going to "Cars and Coffee" in Chanhassen on October 1st.

Looks good man.  The color is definitely out of the ordinary, but I really like it.
