looks like a badly proportioned chinese made toy...

[ChargerSG]

That was real ugly for sure

[suntech]

These guys look to very serious, but is it in my taste? Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[41husk]

Daimler could have uglied that up much worse!

[NorwayCharger]

I like custom work and they sure did go all the way here
Is it good looking??
I do not like the duster grill/front, other than that .....hmm. ok i guess.

[suntech]

Hmmmm! Got to think about something here!! Before we judge to hard here, and in other cases!!
We are all of us consithered as "friutcakes" among the majority of the population, spending so much time and money on 35+ years old cars. We are right now 4276 members on this forum, and that is from the entire freaken world!!!!
Then, maybe 300 or so are quite active here! That is not a big part of the population!!!
Then, among us, there are many different tastes!! Many people might think that i am stupid, willing to spend 100K just in parts, to get my car as i like it! Many people consiter it rape, to do so much modifications, since it looks so good as it came of the assembly line. You will never see me in a fist fight over a date code on a part of the car!! Simply because i am in to the pro touring style, and like the look, performance and the fun of having a car like that. Let´s appreciate the craftmanship and hart they put in to a car like that, even if it is in our taste or not, because for the majority of the population, they are just another bunch of "friuitcakes", like US!!!!

As a bodyman/painter myself. I can dig the custom work they put into the charger. *Looks badass!* The int. is not the color choice I would have put in it,yuk. But the body mods are awesome! Its about time somebody modified a charger in a totally different way other than a dukes car. Once again, if I could get a job working for Chip Foose, I'd be stoked.

I'd like to see it painted just one color before passing judgement. As it sits right now, I think the color scheme throws the car off. However, I agree the duster grille needs to be changed or made to look like a 71 cuda grille or something! Its really killing the front of the car for me.

[2Gunz]

Normally I dont comment on bad custom work.

But jesus that thing is CHEESY.

[Mefirst]

Cant say that the guys who built it didint try, but its just UGLY

[nitrometal]

Man, did you see the Challenger they have under the "Creations" section?  That thing is gorgeous!   

The paint on that car is like a mirror! 

[Fitz73Chrgr]

Not a big fan of modifying the 2nd gen roofline.  I think the roofline is a big part of what makes a 2nd gen beautiful. 

Don't like the grill either. 

Really don't like the car at all actually.  But alot of work was put into it, so I can appreciate that. 

[BrianShaughnessy]

It was on display at the Nats.   I really don't like it personally.

[70charger_boy]

I like it

[Daytona R/T SE]

I saw that car in my MCG. I just glanced at it. When I saw the Foose paint job and the Ghetto wheels I just turned the page. Next time I'm on the shitter   I'll have to give this article a good look through,

but at first glace it looks just like all the other "Me-too" Cookie-cutter hack jobs I see on TV.

[plum500]

Meh. I wouldn't say it's ugly, I guess, but I just don't see the point. And how are they making the claim that it's an E-body? Since it is simply not an E-body!? I don't like the front grill setup at all, and I really don't like that front bumper -- especially with the lights/valance type stuff and that cutaway blended in. Nope I guess I don't get it.

[Blakcharger440]

I will give them an A+ for doing something different. But to me they just ruined the styling and flow of it by cutting it short.  I am not a fan of the trailer park type paint job as it looks like Cooter painted it. The car looks like someone would rather have a newer 300 than an old Charger.
But you really have to appreciate all the work that was done to it as the craftsmanship looks to be really top notch.

[Charger-Bodie]

imo my dog makes better looking steamers than that thing    the 2nd gen charger is art , if ya gotta change something up change a car that needs it no more bong water for them!~!

[bill440rt]

Personally, I don't mind the car. The paint scheme is OK (I've seen MUCH worse), the wheels fit the look, the suspension set-up looks awesome, maybe they could've done something a little different with the interior.

What I DON'T like & HATE the most, is the fact that they cut up a perfectly decent Charger to make it "smaller." WHY? 
Those modifications are permanent. Sure we've all seen the shaved door handles, filled in marker lamp openings, etc. But why cut up a muscle car with perfectly good body lines already? And, adding more insult to injury, it stated in the article that the car was solid to begin with.

These type of custom body modifications are better suited to '51 Mercury leadsleds, '32 Ford roadsters, etc. Not for a muscle car.
However, if they think they improved it, let them. It's THEIR car.

Looks to me like someone spent a lot of time and money "improving" a design that doesn't need to be improved upon.

Perhaps they should'a waited till the thing was finished to put it on the website,.. perhaps the original patron who orded the car was killed in a driveby...  but i know one thing for a fact, that thing is butt ugly
