George Poteet's 68 Charger

[68ChargerJMP]

Does anyone have pics of George Poteets 68 Charger?

[Charger_Fan]

That's the guy who made this one, I believe...yes/no?

[Afflyer]

It'd look a helluva lot better without those pimpin wheels.

[THE CHARGER PUNK]

steve strope made that 68 charger, same guy who made 1970 roadrunner named Hammer-MATT

[Charger_Fan]

It'd look a helluva lot better without those pimpin wheels.

I dunno Man, it get's worse...

[bull]

I wish I had either of those cars so I could fix them.

What's with the deelywhoppers on the back window of the first one?

NASCAR/RACING INSPIRED?  Supposed to be anyway.

I REALLY DO NOT LIKE HOW LOW THE OTHER ONE IN THE POST ABOVE IS AND WAS GOING TO DO THAT....

Yep, it's a NASCAR theme. See the little covers over the rear bumper edges, like they did back in the day? There's lots more NASCAR themed stuff inside & in the engine bay, but for the life of me, I can't remember where I saw those pics!

I knew I should have saved them that day.

i'm not a big fan of those big wheels but if your gonna have them , thats how they look best. when you can only see 3/4 of them

[greenpigs]

I like the first one, sure it has BIG rims but at least they are not the standard "bling" style. Now that second one besides the motor choice was a mistake at best.

[Slowpoke]

And why do both have the wrong style stripe on them?
(the 69 -70 style single instead of the 68 double)

If guys want to use modern styling licks on cars, why not use a modern car? While I am sure the craftmanship and execution of work is top drawer on these cars......they are totally out of their element - and a Honda Element may have been a better starting point.
Bloody crime about the lightening holes in the rad support.

That silver one looks like something they would do if Chip Foose got ahold of it. What a waste of a nice car (except the hemi).  Shaved door handles and mirrors only look good on pre 50s hot rods in my opinion.

[Silver R/T]

I like second one. I like style hes building those mopars with, also love RR he did

[Blakcharger440]

I think that the first one is very,very nice and does look alot of Nascar inspiration.
I wonder what size the wheels and tires are on that white one are???


And hey if all Chargers were always restored to what their build sheet or fender tag
says than this hobby would be really boring....dont think it would be good for the hobby, but
to each their own.

The first one looks good (white one) but this second one...... A waste     Looks more like an abortion than a Charger.

[68ChargerJMP]

I think the one Strope built for Poteet has 335 45 18's on the rear.

I think the one Strope built for Poteet has 335 45 18's on the rear.

So...if Strope built it for Poteet, is that 1st one the one you were thinking of?

[ChargerHound69]

Anyone notice the ugly hood scoop on the second one???

[bull]

And why do both have the wrong style stripe on them?
(the 69 -70 style single instead of the 68 double)

This is just a guess but overall I'd say they don't seem too concerned with the stock look.

[Charger Steve]

I am not impressed at all! To do this to a classic like the 68 Charger should be a crime. Just my opinion, I guess anyone can do what they want with thier car but this is sick!

[Silver R/T]

on white one you can see they didnt even undercoat in wheel wells, still looks white.

[sixpack70]

Those hideous wheels need to go! Whats up with this blinging wheels on muscle cars? They almost never match and look like they belong on a soccer mom suv! Put some real wheels on it no larger than 17's and then they would be better. Or if its nascar inspired, why not put nascar wheels on it? Other wise the bodies paint and other stuff look really great!

[Charger Aficionado]

  What a CRIME to put those holes in the rad support!  Mod all you want, it's your car, but don't start to kill another one!!!!

I don't think they did.

Look at the rad support again, I don't see any shadow showing that its recessed like they are. I think they "boxed" the rad support and then cut holes in the aded metal.

I personally like what Strope did to the white one, I'd only add some big vintage NASCAR wheels/tires like that black open road racer 68 has.
If someone else on here took a 318 run of the mill Charger and did that, people would praise it but agree to disagree on the wheel choice.
