There was a thread on the Challenger site about what people do with the stupid plastic engine covers on the 5.7 Hemis.
I found a use: The covers do make good dog houses...or Teenaged Mutant Ninja TurtleDog costumes for Halloween. |

You could flip it upsidedownwise and make a nice food bowl!

My son decided he wanted stripes on the R/T similar to the monochromatic scheme that I did on the Triple Redeye. So we got out the Avery decal sample catalog and the wife, me, and the boy all perused the catalog and miraculously, we all picked the same color! Tangerine.
I took a few days to install since the driver's door section had a flaw in the carrier sheet that actually went through to the decal itself but wasn't visible until I installed it. I called the decal company and they sent out a new driver's door section in a couple days. I' m very happy with their product and their customer service (though it did take a couple days to get through via email). Vinylgraphicspro is the name of the company. https://www.vinylgraphicspro.com/pur...nt-decals-kit/ Here's the finished product. It does the exact same thing that the Maroon stripes on the Octane Red do: they ghost out when viewed at a perpendicular angle and only show up when viewed at an oblique angle or in bright, direct light.

Great looking car. Makes me miss mine. They are a lot of fun. About the engine cover. I purchased a set of the 392 half-covers that were modified by Steve White motors. Makes a huge difference. I don't think they do them anymore though. You could always buy a set of the 392 covers or "SRT Powered" covers and either modify the wording or run them as is. Not only looks better, but helps dissipate the heat soak.
Hope you don't mind that I added some pictures. |

Hey njsteve

Have to say those wheels and especially that stripe really transformed that car! Looks great.

Thanks. The boy really wants to put a factory shaker setup on it but altogether that runs around $5k. ($1,200 for the hood and $2,000 for the shaker hardware, $500 for shipping, then another $1,000 for paint?)

When I wanted stuff for my car and his age I had a job or two! Always liked working to fix up my cars.
