 The interior of David's Challenger...  The interior of David's Challenger looks just as inviting as it did in '73. Tall buckets were a signature item for the Mopar hot rodder and they provide just enough stability to make you feel almost in control when you stab the skinny pedal on the right. David says they get the strangest looks from people when they pull up wearing the four-point race harnesses.  The fitment on the seams where...  The fitment on the seams where the body panels come together is a testament to the quality of Brent Jarvis and Mark Webster's work at Performance Restoration. Every piece fits perfectly and the addition of modern components like the wheels and brakes that are visible don't detract from the aesthetic beauty. The whole car just flows.  A flick of a hidden switch...  A flick of a hidden switch underdash and the electronically activated exhaust cutouts open up to really scare the bejeezus out of anyone nearby. It's hard to believe by the condition of the undercarriage that this is a street-driven car. David made sure that Performance Restorations knew he would be driving it, and they built it accordingly.
