racerx24 Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Well ive been working on this for model for a few months now and i just laid the paint to the body going with mopar histoy and did plum crazy purple. Took some pics of it finally. With my new job i dont get much time to model anymore.
moparmadman829 Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 looking good so far I have this one sitting in my build pile yet this might just motivate me to build it here soon.

diymirage Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 hey, those are the rims im looking for for my wifes winterbeater (08 charger) looking good
TexasFinest Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 hey, those are the rims im looking for for my wifes winterbeater (08 charger) looking good Those wheels are $250 a piece. I wouldn't put them on a beater. Those are my stock wheels on my '09 Dodge Charger SuperBee.
eviltwincustoms Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Gotta love the dealerships, they will charge you an arm and a leg for wheels. I wouldn't have paid that kinda money for stock optional rims. I really like the color of the plumb crazy, great job on the detail of the under carriage and the engine. If it is a super bee, it needs the rear quarter decal. Not quite sure the wheel and tire combo is right. It looks like a 65 or 70 series tire.

Not quite sure the wheel and tire combo is right. It looks like a 65 or 70 series tire. It's not the dealership charging you, it's Chrysler. I work a Chrysler dealership ,in the parts Dept and $250 for brand new OEM wheel is cheap! Spme wheels are $800-900 a pop! Model is looking good!

Was gonna put the decal on and when I cut them out to do it they were not gonna show up cause the purple is to dark. Im trying to get ahold of a buddy of mine to cut them out in vinyl in something that will show up better. Blus my wife didnt like them
diymirage Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Yeah...I seen some great looking rims for sale today...OEM 20s...they look like cragar SSs with dark painted spokes for "only" $1495.00 (shipping not included)
diymirage Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Those wheels are $250 a piece. I wouldn't put them on a beater. Those are my stock wheels on my '09 Dodge Charger SuperBee. I use that term loosely At 4 years and 110K miles its actually a great car I use it during the summer to put around town and she drives the '06 passat because it gets better gas mileage (only when she drives it though...I can't stay of off boost) during the Michigan winter the charger moves up to first string because of how great it is in the snow
eviltwincustoms Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 It's not the dealership charging you, it's Chrysler. I work a Chrysler dealership ,in the parts Dept and $250 for brand new OEM wheel is cheap! Spme wheels are $800-900 a pop! Model is looking good! That's right, much nicer aftermarket wheels that are not OEM... LOL you couldn't get me to pay $250 for a factory wheel when I can spend a bit more and get something 10s' better. But to each their own, those that don't know better will always spend their money foolishly.
TexasFinest Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 On a side note there were no Plum Crazy SuperBees made, only detonator yellow(1000 made), B5 Blue(1000 made), , and Hemi Orange(425 made I have #277). There was a Plum Crazy SRT made which is more rare than the SuperBee with only 300 made. So if you leave it without the decals it is correct.
TexasFinest Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Oh and they only made the Plum Crazy SRT'S in 2007.
