only difference I can see, aside from the original's "patina" is that the original doesn't have wheel well moldings.

Regardless, I think you did an amazing job on that car as usual.

Thanks men! Yes, the lip moldings will be coming off and sills painted. I have the originals polished up and packed in a PVC tube for safe keeping. I'm thinking before I do the "green out", getting a pic of the car in GT trim for the fun of it.

Local Ford dealer still wants it on display in their showroom, but I don't think I want to do that. I'm fearful of what it might look like afterwards. Probably more damage and would look worse than right after the chase scene was over!

Cheers
Dave

To help promote this little know Muscle Car show I'll be attending later this year with the Mustang, Kelly helped out with a few photos to help spread the word! She also filmed me doing a little driving!

More to come....

Nice rumble. Great photo shoot too - that should get the word out!!

P.S. has Kelly done this before?

Hahaha! All in fun, guys! There's a guy around here that has an 08' Bullitt that he drives daily and next time I see him I'll have to see about a few pics together. I tailed a newer Charger yesterday. But with those Hellcat badges on the fenders, not thinking that would be equal competition should the chase scene be repeated!!!.

Cheers

Dave

Wheel lip moldings off. Think I'm stopping here. Identical now to the Hero Car as it sits now, which is what I was after. Think I'm going to dress it in full stock GT trim to show the "presto-change-o" ability to return to stock.

Cheers

Strangely enough, those wheel well moldings really make a difference. Again, brilliant job.

glad you made the decision to remove the W/O moldings. I know you put a lot of effort into getting them on correctly. This look is way better!

Thanks guys. Yes, the moldings change the look. Whoever the new owner will be can decide if they want them back on or not.

Going to take the car out on the highway for some driving filming later this month.

Cheers
Dave
