The paint job is the final slap in the face. These short fat modern Challengers never look right when someone tries to style them like an earlier car.

Take the front end off, the wing and the silly mid stripe......and that'd look good.
May as well do it to a Camaro or a Mustang.......Anyone done it to a new Charger.......at least it would follow the original a bit better?

Yes indeed but it still looks like a fat bird wearing Keira Knightley's bikini...

I actually think you can get away with the nose cone, but the wing and the paint job are a bit of a no-no for me.....

White one looks like the same panels - is this a kit that's now available?

Well, its not pretty but its better than something built on a beetle floor pan or one of those god awful MR2 or Fiero abominations.
My neighbour likes crap kit cars and has a triumph spitfire on some jacked up
4x4 chassis. He's just bought a nice red 65 Mustang and wants to paint gold stripes on it and put LED running lights on it... Theres no accounting for taste.

Probably just my OCD, but for me, the worst bit is the way the wing angle is completely out of line with the stripe
