What was the inspiration?
When Dodge reintroduced the Challenger back in 2008, it was the car I wanted! And in May of 2010 that became a reality! It was meant to me a daily driver while I built my Isuzu Spacecab
How long did it take you to build?
About 7 1/2 years to get it to where it is today
How long have you been building?
I bout my first minitruck in April of 1995. Also attended my first truckrun that same month, Spring Splash at La Paz County fairgrounds in Parker Az
Club Affiliations
Freaks of Nature Workdwide since 2001
Your future plans?
The Challenger is just about done, maybe some more lighting, or small accents. I’ve already got my next project lined up
Vehicle history
Purchased new in May of 2010. Was intended to be my daily driver as I had traded in my 2004 Ford F-150 towards this car. Did the usual upgrades, wheels, tint, and stereo. Then when my isuzu build got derailed, in March of 2013 the Challenger got bagged and so began the build
Thanks to
