That is one sweet Charger Benno, I'm going to have to go back and look at my thread where you posted your wheels "really like them". Love the steering wheel, dash and air filter "cool car".

You have one gorgeous car well deserving of a photo shoot. Still love the air cleaner lid.

One thing I would do different is use the alterkation 4 link. It allows for the exhaust to still come out the back of car not like mf.

Handles really well no body roll. Great traction. What d of you want to know about the dash

Wow benno440 . . . that air cleaner rocks ! ! What an incredible job - is that your handywork ??
That car looks great - ok, now I've got to get my car done and on the road ! ! !
I'd say have fun driving it - but it already looks like you're doing that ! ! ! Enjoy ! !
Where did you find the billet hood hinges ? ? Those look too cool - I can only imagine the pain in the wallet for them . . . ( sigh )
