For posterity:
VIN: XS29J8B261820
HIGHLIGHTS
- J-code Hemi Charger built by Mr. Norm’s in Hudson, Florida
- 6.4L forged Hemi V-8 engine
I really appreciate the time and craftsmanship put into it, it looks like they did a superb job… BUT WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO A REAL HEMI CAR??!!
. Is there a picture of the actual vin?

Yes, I'm sorry, I misspoke. It was the red X, not the thumbs down. Sorry. But the intent is the same. All in fun.I don't recall us ever having one. However, we did have a red X, but it went away because _some_ people couldn't handle it.
The C-body cats still have the X as an option, but they are a more mature/sedate group than the B-body and A-body guys. Also, they tend to explain why they used the X, whereas it was more of a driveby shooting on FBBO & FABO.
Whatever icons remain are all grey, just like the boring cars sitting on dealership lots.
No, they didn't include pictures of the:
Dash Identification Plate,
Fender tag, or
Broadcast Sheet
This did not start out as a real hemi car i hope?
VIN at least suggests real RT...

I'm pretty sure that's the same outfit that used to go by TimeMachines. They used to put the V-10 viper motor in the '68 Charger. Amongst others.For posterity:

I’m a restomod kind of guy but no way in hell me personally im restomoding that car. Its crazy what trash cars are bringing in some of those auctions. Im not saying that car is trash and minds any better but those rims and such just makes it trash.

Double Yuk. I used to watch Mecum and B&J a LOT 20 years ago. For me, today's auctions are completely unwatchable. You almost never see an unmolested restoration. I just can't stand the endless parade of restomods. I still give B&J in January a try but I can't stomach it for more than a few minutes. And the way these old farts (that used to gush on the stock cars) gush all over these restomods.

Does the fender tag indicate the interior "Laramie" option ?
