  • Now its looking more like a Muscle car pics

    Hey guys its been a couple weeks and now Tracy finally is coming together to my liking, all whats left is body and paint and want to find a Hemi hood scoop even though its not a hemi haha I am doing the interior swap from my parts car that had all black vinyl interior into Tracy this week.
    My set up front- 15X7 with 4.25 back space and positive 6 offset BFG T/A 205/60 R15
    Rear- 15X8 4.62 back space and positive 3 offset with BFG T/A 225/70 R15

    It rubbed a little on the left rear but i rolled and shaved some of the inside on the quarter panel a bit and now can fit the top half of my hand barely.
    Took it to my local shop had it aligned and torsion bars done to lower it 1 1/4 inch. Drives so much better now but still wallos a little but sway bar can fix that.

    Sorry that its dirty it just stopped raining when i got it home.

    Any plans to modify or change the bumpers? Those vertical bumper guards on the front (especially) take away from the lines of the car IMO. Just a thought.

      yeah ive been wanting to take the bumperettes off i think if i take the bolt that has the chrome round head on it can go in place where the bumperetts would leave a hole to plug it up.

            That would be a good trade off. Is the color staying the same on the car?

              Um right now im torn between plum crazy purple and Mopar sublime, it's either those two but i like the Plum color because i have a lime green 6R kawi already and want somthing different.

                Yeah..my vote is for the Plum Crazy Purple...I think it would work better on that particular body style.

                  +1 on Plum crazy, my favorite Mopar color of all time.

                    I didnt exactly follow your build but what suspension components are in it to lower it? Your next suspension upgrade should be roll bars front and rear. Also do they make a strut tower brace for it?

                      Love the stance and the T/A Challenger style exhaust. Plum Crazy would be a fantastic choice on this - can't wait to see it with the respray.

                        Thanks guys for all your compliments!! Looks more like i'll be doing the Plum Crazy Purple

                        @ smack- The suspension is done pretty much last thing is a front sway bar and thats it. Just had the torsion bars cranked down to the max for lowering it. I can fab up a strut tower brace i have a friend with a welder and i can make somthing for it.
