We will use a 8 3/4 742 case with the special Jim Bailey treatment. We are going to paint it B5 (1970) and it will look like the 2010 Classic Pkg on the Challenger. No Decals.
Plan on running in H/SA unless with the large driver it goes into I/SA. We already got the Fast system working on our GT/FA but we don't think we are even close to the bottom. It is # 16. B & B will do the cage, rear axle, rear brakes and some other stuff. My body shop will paint the car. That's my blog. I'm too old to blog. I am not too old, however, to drink beer.

I will be doing #53. I have thinking about everything from replicating my Tor-Red 2010 classic to the team colors from the 90's like my truck. Or something entirely different. Jeff what are you going to run for rims to create the classic look?

Is that the ATI car ?

I have Welds, however if I can run fast enough, I think some Torque II can be had @ 4.5 in. wide for the front and 10 in the rear. We sold several B5 2009/10 Challengers with the classic pkg. I really like them, and my Duster is 70 B5 Blue. I figure B5, black hood, black rocker panel, R/T stripes and I'm not sure on the spoiler. The Classic has it body color, but I think the original T/A had a black spoiler. Easy enough to check. My son has two original unrestored Challenger T/A's and lives next door. We are building a really trick 5.9 for SS. We think we can make at least an additional 50 hp from last year, and maybe more. Should be fun. We might even outrun a bow tie (tape your mouth shut). More later. Going to Grand Isle, LA for Thanksgiving with 4 kids, 9 grandkids, 4 dogs, and my wife.
