Cool deal.  Didn't see any rust issues though-where're they all at?

[charger01]

Looks good in pics.

Pic #2 looks like optional rear window defrost via no lower window corner

Been there done that.

What size tires are those ? Car looks good in pics. Back window trim and drip rail trim missing?

It needs quarters, trunk, extensons, valance, corners, rear window work and a little rear frame work.  It has 15x8`s with talllll 15 inch tires on it. I`m sure it needs more metal. Tail panel. It was a 68 and someone did it up W/B style.... I have all of the trim  that come with it. Plus I have new front and rear door panels and I piece for the grille. I also have a huge stach of Charger parts laying around.

245-60-15

[charger_fan_4ever]

Didn't you sell one in pretty much the same shape not long ago ? Withdrawls so soon 

[kikgas01]

The other one was all original, this drove 5hrs..... Has a ton of new parts. But yes with the withdrawls. I will look for a good 68 shell and probably junk this one, when I find one. Until then, I will drive the snot out of this one. Its nice, I can take it anyplace and don`t care about it.

[model maker]

Nice ! is that a  DOH screen used car ? and are both the charger & patrol car yours ?

[kikgas01]

They are both mine and no, they are replicas. The General will continue on looking like a W/B car even when I find a 68 shell to swap everything over to.

[440]

I like those tires, they look the part. Are those the new SE Vectors or originals ?

I have 275-60-15's and they are way too big.

[kikgas01]

It has air shocks on it and I think the torsoion bars are jacked up. It drives horrible and eats tires.

[model maker]

Have lots of fun building it, and enjoy driving it all you can, i bet it still turns heads wherever you take it.

For the car or for a General Lee?  I agree if the latter but I think a 275-40-15 looks great on a charger.  Too much for a GL though.

[440]

Exactly, they are too big for a General Lee, especially with a 60 profile. 275-40-15 would look better although probably still too big.

[kikgas01]

The 245-60-15`s look great. This is the first time I had 15 on a Charger and really like it.

[440]

Would be interesting to see how it drives with normal shocks and a normal ride height. It doesn't look overly jacked up in your pictures though.

[kikgas01]

I`m taking it to my brother in laws shop today and putting it on the alignment machine.

[200MPH]

looks like a good start!

[kikgas01]

Took a few videos today.

[hatersaurusrex]

Just curious, do you live in a state where it's OK to have cars with police markings like that or is there some special permit involved?

Would you pull over if a 30 year car was trying to stop you.

Would you pull over if a 30 year car was trying to stop you.

You'd be surprised how many people don't notice the age of the car and just notice that it's a cop.  My own girlfriend wouldn't have noticed the difference before she knew me. 

More than one guy driving a 30yo "Hazzard County PD" car has gotten hassled by a cop for illegally impersonating a police vehicle. Some cops are cool with it but others act like you're doing something seriously wrong.
