Thanks guys! Gene approached me about this last July at an MiM show in Connecticut. He wasn't sure they were going to put it on there what with all the new Dart coverage and the new Viper buzz and everything else. I'm so psyched!!!

Lucius' birthday (build date) is also this month so that's kind of fitting! He'll be 8 on March 25th

Congrats Crystal that’s really cool to see your car get recognized like that and the right up they did was great! I can honestly say this is one of my favorite SRT-4’s; it’s been the picture on my desktop for over a year. lol I love the eye grabbing panther pink paint and all the old school Mopar touches, especially that killer pistol grip shifter. If they made a modern day AAR your car would be it. The fact that you did pretty much all the work by yourself is also super cool, once again congrats!

P.S. Pretty please bring your SRT-4 to Chryslers at Carlisle this year so I can see it in person.

I promise I will get to Carlisle eventually for the Mopar show I'm just not sure when. Something always seems to come up around that time that renders me unable to go.

red02: Thanks!! Which picture is it? That's quite the compliment

I actually just secured a new pistol grip handle, much higher quality and weighted. I can't wait for winter to end to bring him out.

Please post some pics when you get the new handle installed. I might have to find a pistol grip shifter for my R/T, I love the retro look and feel of them. Did you just modify the handle to fit on a stock SRT-4 shifter?

Hopefully spring comes quick bc I'm also itching to pull my car out of winter storage. Hopefully someday I will get to see your SRT-4 in person but for now this is what I look at everytime I start my computer.

EDIT: sry about the size image shack must have shrunk it down to fit on the forum bc the original is huge so if fill up my desktop.

After reading all the other posts, I wish I could think of something different, or witty to add.

I'm pleased that Allpar "saw the light" and publicized your masterpiece.
