About a month ago, I saw a R/T on the street with the exact red stripes on a meatalflake dark blue body. I thought it was gorgeous...and I also love the dark blue flake MM paint, it was a natural to go with that combo.

I started out the build with the new 2009 Revell Dodge Challenger full kit, replaced the SRT/8 Hemi with a V/10 from an old Viper kit from Revell circa 1995. I wanted a stock appearing car, one that would have a full warranty. I added a 5 speed manual and made the shifter to look like the slap shifter and also placed the E brake on the console. I made the seats a retro argent/red with V-10 on the headrests. The V10 plopped right in BUT the trans mount needed to be moved about a scale foot to the rear. The stock air box connects via a single tube to the V10 dual t-body air inlets. The rear spoiler was placed on two stilts that would be raised either by a control in the interior or by the rate of speed, ala the old Volswagen Corrado. I also did not place the front facia driving lamps into their recepticles but utilized that for air inlets to the front brakes. Other than that...
