Hello to all, this is my first pro touring build it's not mine it's for a buddy of mine, he bought this car and imported it to France in 2016 from the US. The car was a driver in a so-so shape, some people would have just laid a nice paint and call it done but he is a perfectionist and this is his dream car, so he immediately tore it down and sand blasted it and this is where I come in.

The car was not bad but it had seen better days : hit hard on the right front, light hit on the left front, medium hit on the right rear, right rear quarter panel replaced not perfectly but in a ok fashion, left rear quarter panel sideswiped, trunk floor corrosion, as well as the left floor right front floor and around the back glass. On the plus side the cat walk and cowl were damaged too but salvageable and most importantly the car had been straightened and squared, all the dimensions were spot on. Front fenders hood, trunk lid and doors are solid.
The project is QA1 front subframe, air ride triangulated 4 link, air suspension, big wheels, reinforced body structure, most likely a 5.7L Hemi and smooth body work and I mean smooth : everything is shaved, mirrors, wipers, door handles, vent grille, gas filler, marker lights, one piece door windows and a new Charger tail light assembly.
First things first : hack everything that needs replacement.

I did put some reinforcement tubing in the rear, I don't think they're necessary but just to be safe since the car will be moved around quite a bit in the garage and the set up is a little sketchy.
