Hey,Dan .I missed  one or two show so far I think. What have you kept from the original car. Last I saw it was almost all new amd parts. I was hoping to see the shows I missed on-line .I guess Ill have to keep an eye out for the re runs.

The first two episodes have already aired. But, Speed should be showing episode 2 again on Saturday with a full hour of Chop Cut Rebuild.

Most of the original sheet metal is gone. The firewall, front rails, A pillar, and inner door sills are pretty much all that's left. AMD gave us complete access to their parts, so we took full advantage of the offer!

Hey Dan,

Thanks a lot for showcasing a 2nd gen Charger on your show.  I bought one to restore 6 years ago and have been buying parts for it ever since.  It's a slow process but I want to do it right.  Watching your show gives me encouragement to keep going on my project.  As you have probably gauged, Mopar people are fanatics.  We love most everything Mopar as it concerns muscle cars.  You have to really be dedicated considering the parts situation.  Fortunately, in the past 3 or 4 years, that has changed.  Case in point, AMD in Flowery Branch, GA.  I drove down there and picked up my body panels personally and enjoyed a tour of the same warehouse you were in.  I'm sure while you were in Cleveland, GA that you found the North Georgia folks just as friendly as I did.  I would imagine you will sooner or later interface with Mike Ross with B/E & A Restoration Parts, Inc out of Ohio who will have a lot of the other parts you will need for the restoration of the Charger.  If it wasn't for AMD and BEA, I would have had a hard time finding some of the restoration parts I need.  And thanks for coming on our forum to tell us about the show.  We'll be watching every episode.

should have just called dynacorn and asked them to make a body for ya, would have saved a lot of time ;-)

[Magnumcharger]

I just saw the show...boy, that Charger was rough!
A lot of people say that because AMD is offering these panels now, ANY Charger can now be restored.

I believe this is a case in point!
I can't wait to see the finished product!

[Ghoste]

And as an aside, I notice another magazine I have to watch for now.

[lexxman]

Dan are you guys still shotting or are you done ?

[ccr-host]

Magnumcharger,

Where did you find that pic? That's our car! I've seen a bunch of archive photos and even Chrysler has given us for use on the show this year. But, that is the first time I've seen THAT picture with those two models.

...Yes, we are still shooting (a few are "shotting themselves too. LOL). It's great fun right now. Just a few days before our SEMA unveiling and both the Vette and Charger build teams are hard at work! 16 - 18 hour days, busting knuckles, yelling at Fedex... pure fun and games!

If anyone here is attending the SEMA show, be sure to come by the AMD booth and get a close up look at our project! It's going to be a fun week in Vegas.

I bought a whole box of vintage magazines at a swap meet in Windsor Nova Scotia last August....that magazine was right on top!
Cool, huh?

I just caught the deconstruction episode last night for the first time. Don't know what I'd do without a DVR. I just set it to record ALL so I can watch the ones I missed.
Definitely a rough piece, jeez. I had no idea it was that bad. It almost deconstructed all by itself! 

Full access to AMD's parts warehouse??    I'd be like a kid in a candy store. GREAT advertising for them as well.
I look forward to seeing the progress on the car. 

[lexxman]

Magnumcharger are you in Nova Scotia?

I cant wait for Saturday morning to watch the show.(just like a kid with new cartoons)

[Magnumcharger]

Cool magazine. It looks to have a Hemi badge on the door but no R/T emblem on the headlight door 

[nvrbdn]

i like in the first episode where dan pulls a board out of the floorboard and says  "thats not factory, thats pure after market"

That's what all the controversy was about, it is an XP Hemi (non RT) and by all accounts shouldn't exist.

I guess I'll just have to laugh at what you said as it's is kinda funny  , I say it that was for some of us on here we will have to wait a full year it looks like just to get a dvd  . As some of us doesn't have cable tv, dish tv. direct tv or even Antanna tv.. only the internet to watch things by. We can only picture what is going on with how you all talk about what happen in some of the scenes from the episodes. Some of us doesn't have time to catch the reruns on tv either at friends houses   

So if some of you would like to please just keep talking about what happen in the episodes, some of us can only picture in our minds how the scene went  .

[nvrbdn]

well jim, if i could figure how to get it from my dvr to a  disc, i could send it to ya. just not sure how to do it mabey i should call a kid

Or watch it at a neighbor or friends house

So far based on what I have read, it sounds like the numbers were saved & are going on an all new body.

For those that have actually seen the episodes;

Is that a fair assessment?

Or not?

If yes / no any additional details?

[nvrbdn]

they saved very little, but the main structure is there saying that the vin tag cannot be moved. all the body pannels are new and doors etc. removing trunk rail #s to reattach to a new one

[nvrbdn]

also frame,rear panel roof skin replaced

[nvrbdn]

they are saying it is the fabled xp hemi xp29j galen says the only one of its kind.

Yea right around here it's very hard to find a neighbor home anymore or let alone watching the channel if it doesn't have something they like to watch on it. If it doesn't have to deal with trucks they don't watch it.

Now sense you mention it, how would you go about doing that? I mean from one to the other..
