Anyone familiar with this car? Saw the article on social media and just love the look of it for a resto-mod type build. Looks like they tucked the front bumper in and painted it body color as well as the front trim. I normally love the chrome, but this looks really good. Is that actually a modern Challenger front grill? It's hard to tell.  I wish I had more details on the build (grill, lights, wheel/tire combo, etc).

Really nicely done, other that the Hellcat emblems. Doesn't have a Hellcat motor, so why the emblems?

I agree, the hellcat emblems should go, but overall I really like the look of this for a restomod. I'm really curious how they got the modern Challenger to fit and blend in so well. Looks like a lot of fiberglass and metal work.

It looks like some of the window trim was done in a black-chrome too. Really nice touch.

Agree also the blend is very tastefully done.
Yup lose the badging takes away from the effort.

Why the grill, but not the tail lights ?

I agree, clean sleek bumpers but they should've changed the rear tailight panel and drop the hellcat badges.
To each his own though.

Not everyone hates on the later tail lights.
