A VERY nice Pro Touring car, and super quality craftmanship

I am building a Pro Touring 68 myself, and right now gathering parts.
WP aluminum Hemi (588)
T-56 tremec
MW modular rearend
XV level II front end, rear end, brakes etc.

What do you want to know - built a pro-touring '68 Charger and currently working on a pro-touring '69 Daytona Clone.

When I saw the title of the thread I was gonna suggest Mr Angry! And Autodynamics' Purple 69 is awesome too!

Pro Touring Chargers??
Click on these!!


Another well built Pro-touring Charger!! 


PHR Charger: ALL BUSINESS!! 

[runninhorn]

all business has the perfect stance.

what suspension setup is that?

[suntech]

All buiness has some nice things, but i think personally 19 fronts and 20 rear is to big
Like the exhaust outlets though
The stance on Mikes car is just screaming DRIVE ME!!!!

This one also....

Only the rear tires are a bit "over the top" for me

Useless on a curvy road!!!

Thanks Guys,

Sorry it took so long to get back online.......

anyway, (not surprisingly) Mike's (Mr. Angry) is the closest to what I would like to do:

So far she's actually in pretty good shape compared to where my 69 started (see pics)

Heres what I want to do:

1) resto over 2 or 3 years (not because of money but more because I dont want to suffer throught any summers without driving this one)
2) tranny being rebuilt over next couple of weeks (any suggestions here?)
3) minor body clean up (proper stripes, buff & polish etc) full paint will be last thing done
4) new rear end (want  a Dana 60 or better - any suggestions? gear ratio? stick with 3:56?
5) What handling system would you go with? alter-k-tion?
6) Gonna lose the console (not correct anyway) and put pistol grip shifter in (of course), I think it looks more "hard core" without a console.
7) What order would you recommend?


Also, mike - what size and brand are your rims (& rubber), not looking for exact same but definitely love the stance and profile of yours! looks like Mr. Angry is slightly lowered - LOVE it!! if you have any tips I would appreciate them

19" wheels in the rear-18" up front, 4 wheel disc, front and rear bars, .960 torsions, edelbrock IAS shocks. and about 475hp in the business end of it! Oh, most important, nice and low.

What actually defines a "pro tour" car?  Is it just the look, or what?

[moparstuart]

What actually defines a "pro tour" car?  Is it just the look, or what?

I would say the biggest thing is updated supension and brakes ,bigger wider tires and wheels , mean agrresive stance and look ?
modern updates to old muscle !! 

[six-tee-nine]

Yeah sure Pat's 68.....

One of my favourite non black Chargers on the site here. every time i see a pic of this car I start doubting my choice for black

What actually defines a "pro tour" car?  Is it just the look, or what?

I would say rule #1 it is not built for a ¼ mile at a time, but built to get driven and driven hard, not matter the consequences or the cost!  I drive mine 5 days a week if I can, over moutain passes or on a track.  Modern equipment is used where possible to improve handling, performance, safety and reliabilty. There are no trailers near my shop and my windshield wipers work great. 

I would say ultimate goal in a "pro-touring" car is out perform a newer, comparable car, on any road condition or in any weather.
