Texas Chargers needed for a video shoot - UPDATE - VID LINK ADDED

[jasonfromIKILLYA]

What's up everyone.  I know some of you here listen to rock/metal, but even if you don't, if you've got a Charger in Texas, I'd love to talk to you.  The Supergroup HELLYEAH is going to be shooting 2 videos in late April and I need some cars to be the strategically placed in the video.  The band wants 60/70s era hot rods, and of course I want Chargers.  Let me know if you're able to be a part of it!

About HELLYEAH:
HELLYEAH is a supergroup comprised of Vinnie Paul (Pantera/Damageplan), Chad Gray and Greg Tribbett (Mudvayne), Tom Maxwell (Nothingface), and Bobzilla (Damageplan).  Their debut album has sold nearly 400k copies and we're expecting amazing things from the follow up.

Jason... I"m in Houston and have,,,, well the Daytona in the avatar to the left.......

Troy

I'll send a PM with my number if interested....

[68RRFlyer]

And I'm about 10 miles from Troy on the other side of town.  Should have my B5 69 R/T clone in paint this month so it'll be a nice contrast to Troy's Daytona.  PM me if interested.

Cheers

Hey Guys!  Both awesome cars and I will contact you both right away!  Thanks for being interested.  I figured I would also put up some more details in case any of the others here want to jump in.

We're looking for about 6 or 7 cars to be in 2 scenes.  The main scene will be a night time bonfire/BBQ with the cars circled around the bonfire, headlights pointing at the fire.  Then we're also looking for 1 car for driving scenes where the singer will deliver some of his lines while driving.  Preferably this would car would not be in perfect condition as the feel is more "unfinished" and "raw" for those scenes.  We're not looking for a wrecked car, but more one in progress.  Primer or an old paint job are fine.  We would just want it to be more Hot Rod than stock restoration.

Lastly, the shoot will be in the Dallas/Fort Worth area the 18-21 of April.

Thanks all!

Got a Perfect fit
Try Gordie Johnson from the Texas based band Grady, He's got a nice 66 Charger ,That's in a cool looking flat black over white color scheme. The white is original ,a bit dull and shows a little rust.
I'm not at liberty too post his Charger pics but PM me if your interested I'll send you a contact.

He's on tour in Canada right now....saw Grady last night. We spoke Mopar after the Show

Great!  Thanks Ron.  I'd love to talk to him!

[Hemidog]

HELLYEAH rocks! Good to know that Vinnie can still rock it after all he's been through.
If I was from Texas I would definitely be there!

[alcusswhen]

How much are you willing to pay? It costs money to own one of these cars.

[Big Sugar]

Great!  Thanks Ron.  I'd love to talk to him!

I know your time is limited, I've sent out a email to my Contact.

I'll keep you posted.

Jason-

I live in the Dallas Fort Worth Area and I have a '69. Picture with the Avatar. Please PM me if you are interested.

 I know Jason is a valued member here,.. so no comparo intended, that said,.. his post reminded me of last yrs' request for a dark blue or black charger that I was "involved" in...
Long story short, after blowing smoke up my ass for a month via E-mails the "Poster/Solicitor" went mute and finally pressed for info, admitted they went with a rent a Chally for the eventual video... that was the second similar dealing I had with folks wanting to do "Video" featuring my Charger.

    http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,55579.20.html

the eventual video...  

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZC_3I9Hlop

though well "produced" I guess..   I think the music totally sucks and the subject matter is in my opinion vapid and trite. As it turns out I'm glad I wasn't involved in that piece of trash.
The comments illustrate this pretty well I think.

 Good luck on your project JasonfromIKILLYA. Sounds good.

We are in the DFW area and my son has a 72 charger that sounds like maybe what you are describing. he painted it himself on a very tight budget so not a shiney fancy finish but more of a down to earth teenagers car. The only problem is the engine is in the shop getting some machine work done as we speak. Should be out in a week but no guarantee on that. My son is actually in a classic rock band himself so I bet he would be interested. He is always looking to meet other bands and network the band thing. Course all assuming his car is up and running by then. I also have a muscle car so might even work out both cars if you are interested and it isn't too far.


Here is a pic of the car


and another angle


and since you said other muscle cars too, here is my 69 mustang

[oldrock]

thought maybe I should add a vid of his band so you don't just assume it is a bunch of kids who don't have a clue. They actually are a very solid band for their age and my son with the charger is their lead guitarist.

[jasonfromIKILLYA]

Brock - I'm very sorry that you had such a bad experience.   That being said, I have no intention of stringing anyone along.  Currently I am looking for possible cars and I will work with each interested party individually to decide whether or not this will work with their car.

Bill - Thanks for the post.  I'll contact you in just a moment.

Oldrock - I will drop you a line as well.  I would love to have both cars involved.

alcusswhen - We will cover gas to the shoot.  If that, plus having your car featured in this video, is not enough compensation, I don't believe this is the right opportunity for you.

Hemidog - I'm glad you like the band!  I'd love to hear your take on the new tunes once we start rolling them out.  Keep your eyes on www.hellyeahband.com later this month! 

Thanks again all!

[BROCK]

WOW!  Musicians unite in D/FW on a Charger Forum

It's true, I care about this.  Ya the next part could put a screaming baby
to sleep at 2AM..........so, I'll skip it [cough...Pantera...cough...Sadox]

Just glad to see Oldrock doing his thing & naturally KILLYA stepping
up.  My best to both of ya!!!!!!!!!!!!

Slightly off topic:  We played the Mopar Magic Car Show this year!

[RIDELIKEHELL]

Great!  Thanks Ron.  I'd love to talk to him!

I know your time is limited, I've sent out a email to my Contact.

I'll keep you posted.

Ron

Ron are you sure Mr Johnson is going to have the time lol

[oldrock]

hey brock, the link to the charger vid didn't work. No fair to talk about a vid with charger footage and hold out on us

Worth a shot;

His Charger is still in Texas with his Mechanic,
I'm just going to pass it on too Gordie and his Mechanic.

Gordie is Booked !! they'll be anouncing more shows shortly so I'm told. So it's gonna be a busdy season for our Grady / Big-Sugar Friend

Where is the shoot taking place, and do they allow bystanders?

[jasonfromIKILLYA]

Hey there

It will be a closed set at several different locations.  Of course the set will be open for the kind souls who allow us to film their cars.

[oldrock]

worked that time Brock, thanks for the link. Well not our kind of music for sure but some cool scenes in it. Would have been way cooler with an older charger though!

[clanton]

I am in Richardson I have a 68

[TexasStroker]

If you ever do another similar vid for them, but need a different venue and different Chargers I could certainly help you out.  We've got a nice variety of 66-74 Chargers available here in the Amarillo Area...lots of Mopars as well, and I could set you up with some rods if they were so inclined.  Lots of nice, flat roads, and of course sudden drops into Canyons...really makes for some nice footage imo.

Keep us in mind if the opportunity arises again.

[jasonfromIKILLYA]

Hey Clanton, I'll PM you.

Thanks Texas Stroker.  I'll keep it in mind.  Sounds like you've got a nice set up over there!

[dongar69]

Too bad it will be a closed shoot. But if they need some new muscle I have a 2010 Challenger. My Charger is not ready yet.

[THE STIG]

Make sure you post up a link to this video, after it's done.

[jasonfromIKILLYA]

Hey Everyone

Thanks so much to all of you who showed interest and especially to all of the people who made it out!  We had lots of great cars at the bonfire scene and one especially bad ass Cuda for the driving stuff. I'm sorry I wasn't there for those days but I had to fly back to NYC for some meetings.  I will post both of the videos once they are done.  The Cuda will be in the video for Cowboy Way (debuting early may) and the rest of the cars will be in Hell Of A Time (debuting early June).

HELLYEAH!

[jasonfromIKILLYA]

Hey guys

The first video debuted yesterday!  It features a bad ass Cuda who's owner really let us put the hammer down, and we appreciate it!!  You can check out Cowboy Way here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcrZeDGNOIc!  The video for the 2nd vid, Hell Of A Time, will debut in Mid June.  Thanks again everyone!

[moparstuart]

[Hemidog]

The video is blocked for Europe at least... 

At least I found the song in another place, it rocks! 

[RD]

that video ROCKED!!!!!!  love that song.

[Tilar]

Well, the car was cool anyway.

[69*F5*SE]

That was cool   

[autodynamics]

one day i think ovrchrgd will be in a video.... that would be cool.... and sexy!!

[bakerhillpins]

 

Excellent tune!. Kinda reminds me of Testament. And college.

Man, I am so married with children. 

[oldrock]

nice car in that one! I was hoping to see a chase scene more with the mopar and cop car.

[jasonfromIKILLYA]

overcharged - Mr Angry's Daytona was in the bands photoshoot (pics later) and if I ever shoot in NYC and need cars, you and he are at the top of the list!

[autodynamics]

fantastic....
