68 charger with amnesia build

[Baldwinvette77]

When did you switch to the 69 tail panel?

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, like... back before i even started the suspension 

I stripped the 68 panel, and found it was covered with like 1/2 an inch of bondo hiding Rust and a huge dent, i found this 69 panel for like 50$ if i remember right, then traded the 68 taillights for 69 pieces straight up to the same guy i originally got em from 

Still cant decide if i like the 68 parts or 69 parts better, i just want em both

Then you should have only changed one side and left the other side round

I suppose

So, over the last few weeks i've just been finishing things i've started, welded up the roll cage and painted the bars

replaced the steering wheel with a grant nascar style wheel (looks cool, doesn't smell like vomit)

Did a TON of sanding and filling, fixed the last rust issue.

AND probably the most note worthy, i made a hoodscoop... Now i tried to avoid needing one to the best i can, but i just couldn't run an air cleaner under the stock hood.

so i made this thing.... Funniest thing was, i HATED it with a fiery passion, So i was about the cut it off again, and order a street scoop or some other blower scoop that mounts to the carb.

just as i picked up my cutting wheel, one of my sisters friends came up and asked.. "did you make that"? ... i asked.. "what, the car?" ... She corrected me.. "no that cool looking thing on the hood" i say "yeah.. you iike it?.. Thanks...."

SO THEN, i started a tally and literally every girl i asked, EVEN MY MOM of all people said they all preferred my hackjob scoop over a fake blower scoop, AND EVERY GUY preferred the F&F style blower scoop  Even just people over the internet, i sent them pictures of my car, and cleaner chargers with blower scoops and the same results... 

So logically i kept the hoodscoop, All my friends hate me.. But who cares 

[Baldwinvette77]

Gonna break my rusty cage....

[Baldwinvette77]

Probabaly did some other things... But not really major.... OH added a trunk latch i got for free.... OH AND I GOT A STEREO.... FOR FREE!!!!!!! 

..... OH and started painted the floors and sealing things..

  love this build!

[WHITE AND RED 69]

Steering wheel and hood scoop looks good.   

But what's the deal with the roll cage bar under the steering column. Kinda low isn't it? That's right where your knees are supposed to be?

I fit fine in it  Still more spacious than a mazda 3 ... believe me 

[JB400]

Hood scoop looks fine.  Similar style to the 68 Hemicuda hood scoop.   Dick Landy run a 67 style hood scoop similar to this one on his 68.

Yes was just about to say , love that scoop,
Looks a lot like mine pal  , keep going love this car  look at my avatar

Just noticed the rocket launch button, nice  :
Break my rusty cage, Soundgarden, which is what you'll have when you do fire up that beast in the driveway

I know everyone keeps saying it, but great progress dude!  We'll have to cruise in the Cutlass's soon though

It reminds me Stuntman Mike : "Hey, Pam, remember when I said this car was death proof? Well, that wasn't a lie. This car is 100% death proof. Only to get the benefit of it, honey, you REALLY need to be sitting in my seat."
