MAD 1974 DODGE CHARGER SE 400 (BUILD)

[JB400]

Turn signal indicators mounted on the fenders.

[polywideblock]

Welded in the antena Hole and Front fender hole, not sure what mounts in the front holes?

not the best pic but look at front fenders

[Nacho-RT74]

fender indicators posters are 71/72 kind, attached from inside the fender with nut on the stud... correct ones for you would be the 73 and lates setup, using a selftapping phillips screw from top

That's too bad. Those are extremely easy to find and even thought they were supposedly an option, all 73-4 Chargers had them.
And Nacho is correct, those are pre73 lamps posted.  These are 73 and up.
It was in the "Light Package" A01 which was included in all the other packages as well.
You couldn't purchase a replacement fender with out the hole either.
Well, the good thing is you can always redrill if you want them.
Just sayin'.

Thanks for the info guys. I may re-drill when i pick up new ones or may leave smooth and flush. I guess only time will tell.
Im jumping back and worth on the idea of customizing the car to a eye catching widewody charger or staying stock looking and think im gonna try blending the two sleek widebody classic charger..

Brown ain't that bad.  It will grow on ya 

[MAD]

Thats a sweet brown. i like that a bit better then my current gold/brown..

[MAD]

Sorry guys, but somebody's gotta do it......

Cardboard ruff template.

[MAD]

Gonna run Mickey Thompson 12.5 sportsman pros on the back with 1" wheel adapter.

[MAD]

Has a nicer looking quater with a flat top kinda like the A Bodys

[JB400]

I don't think I'd recommend the wide body treatment.  To make it look right would take you a lot longer than 2 months.  I'd recommend fender flares.  Here is a pic of the Olympia Charger with a subtle fender flare on the front.  I think if you done something of this sort front and back, it'd give you a better look than the wide body.

I would also have to say no to the widebody thing, the 71-74 is wide enough the way it is. 

[MAD]

Spent an hour in the shop after work. Got the Widebody Quarter panel template almost complete. Purchasing the Back wheels and tires tomorrow, then i can dial in where the lip will end etc etc.. I Know im catching a lil eeeek from some guys but hey i think this thing is gonna make kids at car shows go crazy... I remember watching corvette summer when i was a kid and thought what he did was amazing and i was hooked on wild cars since then.. Big BIG Daddy Roth fan

[MAD]

Trying to keep the lines smooth.

[MAD]

When i walk to the driver side it looks so boring now..

[MAD]

Calling it a night... Love the flares on the Charger you guys posted but i think my car may look funny with 12.5 mickey thompsons and flares that randomly stick out

That's too bad. Those are extremely easy to find and even thought they were supposedly an option, all 73-4 Chargers had them.

A little off the subject of this build, but this statement is incorrect. All 73-74 Chargers did NOT have the fender mounted turn signal indicators. It may just seem so, because so many did. 

I'll definitely be watching this thread with interest. 73+ Nascar Chargers had a similar treatment on the quarter panels, though not to the extreme you are going.

[Baldwinvette77]

That last pic kinda looks like a vette quarter  , and to be honest i like the idea, if you  can pull it off i say go for it, most people here don't seem to care about 3rd gen chargers anyway, so don't let them stop you   

[Nacho-RT74]

no, but, oh, well, is your car

once again if you're gona build something weird like that LOL, and will rid off the white interior panels, I could be a good receiptent of those ( specially lower rears and pillars, both if not chalky )

[MAD]

HAHA like the comment (no one here likes 3rd gens anyways) The funny thing is i love the third gens. Im only 29 so i guess i grew up with hotwheels that were a little more extreme then the ones the older guys grew up with.. Wide Body, Big Wheels and unique graphics really sticks in the brain..

Picking up the Mickey Thompson 28x12.5x15LT's Sportster pros tonight mounted on 10" Cragar Super Spoke rims.

[JB400]

What's the plans for the front?

[polywideblock]

some of us love the 3rd gen though    the ultimate evolution of the breed  

would never do it to one myself but its your car and I say go for it if that's what you want to do
keen to see the end result  

[ODZKing]

 

(no offense)

Im only 20, and actually i was going to buy a very similar 73 charger before i got my 68 ... but the guy wanted too much for it, and it had no drivetrain... or floors.... or glass... or wiring... or dash...
