68 charger with amnesia build

[Stevearino]

 Are you planning to beef up those ears that pick up the tops of the coil overs? If not I think you might want to plan on it if you have the room. I would at least bring the ears back over the top of the frame rails as to prevent them from folding back on themselves. You would be surprised at the load those upper pickup points are going to be exposed to.

Just read your whole thread pal , inspiring keep it up , 

[Baldwinvette77]

Put the charger together and pushed it out for some fun in the rain, WOOT THE CHARGER IS THING NOW!!! 

[Baldwinvette77]

added some gussets to the shock towers and k- member, may make a strut bar after the engine is in place

Man I love this thread,  great job dude, that car looks bad a$$..... Id love to see the look on people's faces in their electric car when you pull up behind them in that beast...  Nevermind a Torino or Falcon they used in the Road Warrior, this should have been the car!!

[toocheaptosmoke]

Sweet dude!  Really starting to come together, dig the stance.    Neighbors glad to see it again? 

[Rosco]

Oh snap! That looks like a car!

When beginning to film the show 'Supernatural', and trying to decide what car the main characters should own, the director was persuaded not to use a Mustang because while a Mustang might look cool, when you want a badass car, what you really want is, "Something that you can hide a body in the trunk of. Something that makes people roll their windows up and lock their doors when you pull up next to them at the lights."

Your car makes me think of that quote

[Baldwinvette77]

I know Right? When i dropped the front end off the jack stands for the first time i was amazed when the front bumper dropped that far, When i stood up again my first thought was "yeah... I should be able to slide across the hood at that height"  i am loving the mad max / blade vibe its got going for it.

Neighbours... welll.. one helped me push it around, nobody seemed to take notice of it... which might be a good thing 

And Man that Supernatural quote fits a charger way better than a 4 door impala, if i may say so

Need to get old school flame throwing exhaust kit.

Baldwin, that thing looks like the General Lee and the Death Mobile from Animal House had a baby!

While I don't like the skull or a few other things I must say you are working your butt off! I will say one thing, you will never see another Charger that looks like yours! 

I wonder what your Charger would fetch at Barret Jackson's? 

Keep up the work, looking forward to seeing it done!

Im actually Thinking about removing the skull, I don't hate it, i just think its a little much 

[fy469rtse]

Yep remove the skull, I think to your surprise , ! This car is turning out a lot better than you or others watching on here , good work pal keep it up 

[Baldwinvette77]

Well, its Gone, I feel like i've grown up slightly... Very very slightly... its not noticeable

The World Is A Better Places Now!

So, with the vipermission, the stock trans tunnel crossmember needed to go away, and vette tunnel, while it was actually big enough, was 1. in the way. and 2. offset to the passenger side.

since i have the opportunity i would like to center my engine in the engine bay, which means a new tunnel was needed... also had a rusty passenger side floor pan.

Once it's done, that car just screams air brush work.

[PtitRaisin]

Was thinking more like ghost skulls instead of that Halloween ornament you had on the hood.
