My 68 Charger build.....

[69 ROCKET]

New addition to the family....
440 stroked to 500ci, new rear chassis and chassis connectors. A long list of work has been done on this 68 Charger.
Unfortunately due to un for seen circumstances the previous owner had to let it go.....and to a good home it goes

Congratulations.   
Do youplan to finish it as a drag car or a Pro Street theme or?

Looks like all the work under the skin has been done.  You aren't putting one of those chevy cowl induction hoods on are you?

The previous owner was going for the drag theme.
Im going to try and keep it looking like it is but with a gloss black paint.
The car needs a bit more metal work before paint, Im hoping to get started on it in the coming weeks.

Im going to try and avoid going with a cowl hood, im really not a fan of that look.

This 68 body is in exceptional condition...very minimal rust. It makes my 69 look like a lemon.

Careful, once you start staring at it you'll realize how much sexier '68's are than any other year

Hahaha, so true!
Looks like a good score Rocket, well done. Prostreet theme is a win, I'd start looking around for a wing and pointy front if it was me though, a bit like BigBlockSam's or maybe the 68 Coronet front hmm

[Ghoste]

Now thats just silly you two, we all know he made sure to get the best year first.

[69 ROCKET]

both 68 and 69 are just as good as each other in my eyes

Can't wait to see what you do with that bonnet, I'm working on a second bonnet trying to do a power bulge look to it and retaining the features of the standard bonnet, hood signal indicators, indentations to bonnet and centre line,
I have the same problem , engines just too tall to fit under,
But that car good pick up, some ones put a lot of time and money into it already

Im not to sure what I want to do with the bonnet at this point, going to wait till I speak to the metal guy and see if he has any good ideas.
