The time has come to get a differnt view of my Challenger

After all, my special designed Challenger is finished and ready for the road.
To do all modifications it took all in all 6 months. But it was worth to wait because the result is outstanding.

Thank you for browsing this Challenger photo page. Of course, I am aware, not everybody likes this design. But for me, it is my personal customizing project I was always dreaming of. My inspiration to do this project was the one and only Chip Foose. I was able to meet Chip in person at his Huntington Beach "Foose Design" shop and during the 2015 SEMA show in Las Vegas: https://www.trainmaster.ch/XC-49-12.htm Werner Meer - August 30, 2020
