HighFlyingWedge69 · August 12, 2009, 09:18:07 PM

Here is the 69 I'm working on. My youngest was only 1 year old when this was taken, he's 3 now.

Awesome! Old drag car!!!

What are your plans for it?

HighFlyingWedge69 · August 12, 2009, 09:26:50 PM

My plans are to make a street/strip toy out of it.

vancamp · August 12, 2009, 09:33:43 PM

HighFlyingWedge69 · August 12, 2009, 09:37:08 PM

HighFlyingWedge69 · August 12, 2009, 09:56:46 PM

I like the B5 blue, but aslo the mopar electric blue.

lexxman · August 12, 2009, 10:02:33 PM

Looks good ,do you know any of the cars racing history?It would be cool if you could find old pictures of it at the track.

HighFlyingWedge69 · August 12, 2009, 10:06:43 PM

I pretty sure it was from New Jersey. Unfortunately I don't know any more history on it. I would love to find pics of it at the track.

Landonsrt · August 12, 2009, 10:32:49 PM

Good luck on it. The mopar Electric blue is the route im going on my 69. PB5. I had though of orange but quickly tired of it.

russg · August 13, 2009, 10:33:52 AM

Nice! You must have a loving, extremely patient wife with a project like that in the home garage...or your buying jewelry weekly

BB1 · August 13, 2009, 02:57:45 PM

Cool as hell.

Matthan · August 13, 2009, 04:01:00 PM

Good Luck with you Charger!!! Post some More Pics!!!!

HighFlyingWedge69 · August 13, 2009, 09:12:08 PM

Here is what it looked like before I started.

HighFlyingWedge69 · August 13, 2009, 09:57:18 PM

Cutting out the old and rusty.

HighFlyingWedge69 · August 13, 2009, 10:00:20 PM

Very cool project

teamroth · August 14, 2009, 08:27:05 AM

I love it! It would be hard to see someone take a surviving charger and doing that, but I think you have the right idea.Very cool!

HighFlyingWedge69 · August 14, 2009, 08:50:18 PM

Back down on the floor. I had to put it back down to see how it will look.

HighFlyingWedge69 · August 14, 2009, 08:55:03 PM

Cut the quarters off, and put my 4-link bars in.

HighFlyingWedge69 · August 14, 2009, 09:00:17 PM

Back on the floor again. I just had to set a new skin on it and take a picture.

HighFlyingWedge69 · August 14, 2009, 09:03:56 PM

These are the most recent pics. Getting ready to go to the blasters tomorrow.

Yeah, I don't feel bad for cutting it up, it was already hacked from the 70's. Does anyone know of any grills or grill parts around? The hood and grill are the only body pieces I need. Thanks guys for all the comments.

Think it will be an awesome machine. You gonna put the old school Dodge decal/paint back on the quarters? I would kill to see it as a Landy type paint job.

The70RT · August 17, 2009, 10:17:34 PM

Wow....that's some serious fabrication going on....

tan top · August 18, 2009, 04:35:54 AM

HighFlyingWedge69 · August 24, 2009, 07:26:38 PM

Back from the blasters. A bit more rust than I thought. Saving up for the new metal for winter work (rain gutters, sail panels, dutchman panel, the top window channel, and front floor sections.)

Blown70 · August 25, 2009, 02:30:30 PM

Reminds me much of my 70, keep up the good work, they will almost be twins

HighFlyingWedge69 · November 30, 2009, 10:25:41 PM

Hey guys, it 's been awhile. The more I looked at the Charger it became clear I needed a rotisserie. So I built one. Also busy working on the back glass area. A rotisserie makes life so much better.

HighFlyingWedge69 · November 30, 2009, 10:29:05 PM

More pics.

Back N Black · December 01, 2009, 09:21:05 AM

WOW! your doing awesome job on that car.

RCKSTR · December 01, 2009, 10:55:55 AM

mopar_nut_440_6 · December 01, 2009, 11:34:46 AM
