I was wondering if any of you have seen any Mopar muscle cars done in "Rat Rod" style.  Meaning flat black paint etc.  I guess the "Blade" charger is sort of Rat Rod-ish but I was wondering about others models.  Post pics if you got them.

thanks,
Jason

Thanks for the info.  I checked it out but there isn't much other than Chargers too look at.  I am curious how other 60's- 70's Mopars would look in the Rat Rod style.  I have a 1972 Plymouth Satellite that I am beginning to restore and I am thinking of going "Rat Rod" styling.  No chopped tops but definitely flat black.  I have never seen one done like that.

That's a cool car!!  I've had 5 or 6 chargers over the years and I always wanted to do one like that.  Thanks for the links.  That last one had some great ideas in them.

It is not a Rat Rod yet, but it will be. Flat black paint with nice shiny Torque Thrust IIs and no bumpers.

Somehow, the 66 to 74 era B-boy Mopars just don't seem like very good rat rod choices to me.  E-bodies either for that matter.  Maybe some of the early 60's and the A-bodies?

How about an old Charger that's wearing some '70s mag wheels, loud paintwork, rollbars, a nerf-bar on the front, and a CB antenna?

Haha dude I have that picture and absolutely love the stance! Many don't like the ass end way up there. Still, I can't put my poor shock crossmember through that with air shocks, so when I can afford it I'll get some springs with a more aggressive curve, maybe like 3 or 4" more lift. Someone ordered springs like that on here. . . from Eaton maybe?

TO, you read my mind..  That is what I'm gonna do to my Charger when I get to the Daytona phase.
