E-Tikit Challenger
Stance is key with any build. Ultra-low ride height, maximum performance, and subtle body mods are underlying themes throughout the build.
You may not have heard about Bruning Auto Design until now, but I’m sure you are familiar with the talent of Tim Bruning. Tim played an integral part on multiple high-level builds, including well known customs such as: Real Mad, New Mad, Baron Von Kuhl, F-157 and the Double Dozen Renaissance Roadster prototype.
In November 2007, Tim began fabrication on our company flagship: a 1970 Dodge Challenger.

SEMA 2008: The E Tikit Challenger's Twin Turbo 426 CID HEMI stroker was featured in Cone Engineering's booth in Hot Rod Alley.
The display was a hit! The one-off dual throttle body intake manifold, 321 stainless steel turbo headers and exhaust, aluminum oil pan, and new generation twin-plug HEMI valve covers are all hand-crafted Bruning Auto Design originals.
