I spent the afternoon in Greenville, S.C., at Tommy Pike Customs. Tommy just finished an all-metal widebody conversion on a 2010 Dodge Challenger SRT-8, and I was eager to photograph it before the black beast returned to its owner in Georgia.

Here is a sneak sample from the photo shoot that really shows off the new car’s extra 7 inches of width. The full story is scheduled to appear in the October 2011 issue of Auto Enthusiast magazine.

UPDATE: Here is a link to the October 2011 issue of Auto Enthusiast magazine. The Challenger story starts on page 118.
