Spare tire will not fit. The bar is part of the Ridetech coil over package.

Thanks. I have been working on this since January. The color was a suggestion from my paint guy. It is Chrysler Fathom Blue.

Wow, what a build you completed, and know it's show stopper at any show.
Love to see the interior specially your custom dash you created?
Nice job!

Got the stereo / nav unit working, as well as the new switch panel for lighting control. Going high tech all the way! (Ignore the spaghetti. it will be tidied up and covered with a new center console. )
