Love the white hood too! I was undecided whether I'd like the black hood or not. For now I'll leave it in the black for this season.

Short of a few burnouts down my driveway I haven't driven it on the street. But I can tell it's going to be some fun.

Here's the final product, 4 years in the making. Can't wait to start taking her to the shows...

A few shots of the black hood on the car. Installed a Classic Sound radio with bluetooth connectivity. Painted the center console top plates black to match the inside doors. Sent out my Corbeau seats to get wrapped up in the original vinyl to match the back seats. A local interior guy...

Fitted the hood scoop in from the underside of the hood by removing the ribs. Fit it on the car before it was painted. Setting up the hood for the ribs to be glued and welded back in. Painted the topside of the hood code 8700 black with PPG's global satin clear.

Sprayed the car in DCC Concept PW1 After the car was wet sanded and polished. Brought the car home to install the dynamat sound deadener, glass and interior.

Sprayed the jambs on the car after the body was sprayed in sealer. Spray booth and car were cleaned a day prior to the paint job.

It's been a while but progress on the car hasn't stopped. Actually finished over the winter. I will post the progress pictures up until now... Shortened the rear end to get the deeper dished welds to fit Went with Calvert Mono-leafs and a Cal-Trac setup for the rear suspension First time...

Laid down some paint Mocking up my back wheels before I narrow the 8 3/4 rear; wheels are Weld RTS S71's with a 5.5 BS on a 10 inch wide rim. Had to modify the passenger side harness to route the PDC wire inside the car. Also gives the passenger side apron some more breathing room. When...

Some more updates on the car... Pulled the running gear out to do some body work Welded in a core support brace to tie in the frame rails from US Car Tool Also mocking up a reinforcement for the vertical support I cut for the intercooler Mounted everything to the firewall before starting...

I'm using all the factory Challenger Hellcat cooling as far as the supercharger goes. As for BeCool, I called them up and told them what I was doing and drew me up a radiator that they felt would do best in my application. And as far as the Milodon oil pan, I have not yet started or put oil in...

Nice car! I'd have to double check with my notes at the shop I remember it being around 120 ft/lbs in the end. Since it was a TTY bolt it was an initial torque + a rotation of a certain amount of degrees.

Just saw this post lol. I'm not running AC but I am running the factory Hellcat power steering pump. I have heard of pressure issues on some of the gen 3 hemi swaps, but I will see what happens when I get to that point.

I'm painting the core support white like it was. It's just preference but I prefer everything white behind the grill especially with the aluminum intercooler.
