Call it a street machine, a cool custom, a Pro Tourer, or a g-Machine, Tom Boldry's wicked black-on-red '69 Dodge Charger R/T is a perfect example of old-meets-new. The Kansas City, Missouri native brought his shaved, smoothed, and Frenched HEMI Charger to last year's Good Guys annual Street Machine auto cross event in Columbus, Ohio. There, Boldry placed in the Top 5 for the Street Machine of the Year awards.  The beautiful '69 Charger stood out among the Pro Touring crowd, and showed that classic muscle can play ball with the late-model toys.

Sorry. I don't like it! It just doesn't look right.
I appreciate the high standard of work that has gone into it but they look better standard IMHO!

I'm pretty sure it's been posted on here before but anyway, I'm with the rest.  It didn't impress me appearance wise in pics and even less so when I saw it in person.

I'll 4th that.

It looks like one of those street machine toys more then it does a real car.

Now I am into modified cars even classics, but this does not do anything for me! It is not nice at all. Only 1 thing I do like about it is the exhaust in the rocker panel, it is a lot neater than having the pipe stick out from under the car.

Sorry, you cannot improve on the charger styling. Its different but not better. :Twocents:

I like it and dont mind the shaved handles having said that, I would not have taken things so far in that direction dont like the Wheels and R.B Tires but appreciate the work gone into it. Pretty sure this Charger was in a recent issue on Mopar Action Magazine.

rattlehead_74

bad ass,i love how they re-created the hood in the engine compartment,and the air intake system,,2 thumbs up !oh yea and the grill  ,,awsome  :cheers:

i can appreciate the effort but, i like door handles, i dont care how they done the front valance, or the engine bay.

Check out the dropped rocker panels...Now if this were a new "Concept for the all new 2012 Dodge Charger, then i'd be online...As it stands, dude has a nice ride no doubt, but I just can't get past that "Too rounded" look of the front end..It reminds me of a person with too much food in his/her mouth and both jaws poking out..My .02
" I have spent thousands of dollars and countless hours researching what works and what doesn't and I'm willing to share"

suntech

Same here, can not get past that rounded nose. On the top picture on the web site, the stance looks pretty nice, but imo the rear wheels are too big. And i did NOT like the recreated hood under the hood.
To much bling for me!
Since we only live once, and all this is not just a dressed rehearsal, but the real thing............ Well, enjoy it!!!!

I've got that mag. Lots of work went into it. Flaring the front fenders is what spoiled it for me. I do appreciate the work gone into it, but wouldn't go that far myself

I did not know they flared the fenders but it's been awhile since I read the magazine I agree with you
Things were taken a bit TOO far IMO  :Twocents:
