I think I would re-paint it in the side stripe color (Mineral grey) and use a Matte clear like in the second rendering picture.

It's easy to pick out who owns a Bar and who's in the Air Force. Child's play in fact.

Well after getting everything mocked up and fitting properly, I decided to show some pictures of the center console and shifter. Thanks John (Old Man Mopar) for keeping it on the down low for the last several months. It will be painted to match the Dash and it will also incorporate the Mineral Grey and Viper red colors like the package shelf.

Damn..... I thought the cans of Diet Cherry Coke looked pretty similar and would throw everybody off.

I read that part and appreciate it but I was just making sure that it documented why I might not be making my Deadline this year.

Just hook one lever up and let's get going!

That's all there is to hook up .......actually it's one cable that controls everything, no levers. Very trick piece...of course it's been modified to work with my set-up, I really hated to cut it apart but, ya gotta do what ya gotta do .
Just keeps getting better and better. Don't see the difference in the Coke cans.

I like the first rendering in gloss black. Show stopper all they way and really makes the body lines pop!!!

Thanks how's your car coming along?
Thank.....once I get the all the interior parts finished it should start looking more complete.
It's already painted gloss black, I posted both those renderings to basically just show the difference in the black grille or the mineral grey grille.

I didn't think I was going to like it when you told me about it 12 years ago but it looks KILLER! Nicely done for sure.
gonna be jaw dropping when it is all together....a head shaker trying to comprehend ALL the mods.
you my friend......have PHD in non-factoryish....the doctor of mods!
BTW...the second (bottom) picture in the rendering post is my pick.

Actually, the base will be sort of like any regular console shifter labeling but with lots of extra numbers.
Remember, I had to modify the shifter and console to make everything fit and give me the look you see here. When I first mounted it, the parts looked very thrown together. I can already hear the comments that I must have a GM transmission to work with that Lightning Rod shifter. Just for the record it's not a GM shifter and it is a Mopar 727.
