Cool Dodge Challenger Vert...check out the pics
A good customer of ours brought his new Challenger by today. Had the hard top cut off and a soft top installed...looks killer. I know it's not an LS, but hey, its cool.






We'll be doing some upgrades soon

I actually dig the airbrushing, nice.

I have a great suggestion for a first mod, assuming it does not have one already

Looks really good, hopefully the frame was strengthened since the car wasn't intended to a convertible. With 400+ hp under the hood, it's a good possibility that the frame could get twisted.

If you read what he wrote you would see that the hard top was cut off and a soft top was installed.

I'd love you to show us this frame you speak of.

Thanks for proving my point. Might refrain from calling out someone who is uninformed when you might be a participant in a pot/kettle relationship, Mr. Axle Back Muffler Modded guy. .

In automobiles, it is now common to see true uni-body frames, where the structural members around the window and door frames are built by folding the skin material several times. In these situations the main concerns are spreading the load evenly, having no holes for corrosion to start, and reducing the overall workload. Compared to older techniques, in which a body is bolted to a frame, uni-body cars are less expensive, lighter, more rigid, and can be more protective of occupants in a crash when appropriately designed. The use of higher strength steels in panels at points of high stress has increased strength and rigidity without increasing weight.

Very cool.I really liked the challenger when they first came out but everytime i see one in my rear view it doesnt look mean but just boring.Front end that is.Dont let me even get started on how they ruined the charger.At least they did something right when bringing these challengers back.
