Have they Ever?.....

Does anyone know if anyone ever built a custom full frame to replace the uni-body frame on a B-Body Mopar? I remember seeing a story in one of the Mopar mags about a Roadrunner a couple of guys built to run in the Silver State Challenge. I think that car had a tube chassis front end, but I'm not sure. I'm just curious if there are benefits to a full frame versus the uni-body design?

Yes there are.

It's been done many times.  Actually, one of our own members has a third gen Charger that he runs in that Silver State Challenge.

If any of you have info or links to info I would appreciate it. I'm going to start on the resto-fa-cation of my 70' R/T this winter, and I'm leaning towards doing something like that.  Thanks.

Me too, as I'm building  a full fiberglass mold off my 70 RR superbird clone , with the tube frame it'd be great to run the challenge .

RallyeMike is the member who is involved with that.  He has some links in his sig.

Are you gonna road race it Lowprofile?

If so, a tube chassis with a NASCAR type suspension would be friggin' awesome!

I want to be able to road race & still have a cool street ride. I figure if I start the build with that in mind, I can get all the right parts the first time. Frame, Brakes, suspension, etc. I am even thinking about taking off the 70' nose and putting on a 69' 500 nose w/the flush grille. A tube frame would be huge$$$$$$.  NYC's Charger has some very nice frame /chassis mods.
