68 charger project

[dodgey68]

here is my charger i am going to pro-turer ??!!
when i got it it was a little sad , a few medium dints, deep scrapes, and a little rust , here is a few pics of it in its early stages

[dodgey68]

here is a pic of the car with my mates wheels , and the engine bay , have replaced the boot floor, the d/s front floor, and the lower half of the rear quarters, just a little suspect rather do it now than have problems later, dunno about the vinyl roof or colour, or what wheels yet??i had a plan of yellow with a black roof, but gone of that, (not a real pro tour look)any ideas was thinking of a burnt orange metallic??maybee? dunno

It looks good with those wheels on it. Chargers are one car on my want list I have not owned yet.

I love mopars. Too bad they are expensive to buy and even more so to build

Well, when you want the best you've got to pay .

Those wheels look pretty sharp. You should buy them off your buddy.

Go with a crazy color! Like Eggplant Purple or something! Its hard to imagine the car was sooo ruff in the first photos to where you have it now!

Hell of a job!

Looking forward to see when done. I have a 68 myself, that will be a pro touring car. havent started the work though. Just bought a lot of parts, so i can ship it together with the car. ( Car in US, me in Norway)
Cant wait to get the stuff home, but i had to wait, so i could get all the sheetmetal from AMD, and that is what i am waiting for now. XV level II front and rear suspention and brakes are there, together with MW modular rearend, and most of the parts needed to build a 611 aluminum hemi.

I'd go with the dark green that was available on the '70. They had a gator green vinyl top too.

just thought i would show the progress
All rear end is ready for paint just guards and boonet (hood)

[joe440]

my .02

[dodgey68]

i thought i would show a pic ..well i gave the little engine a birthday,(im no engine builder)but had a go !!
i know its a 318 but why spend big dollars on big block engine and driive line now, when i can spend that money on painting and finishing the car, drive it and save up and collect all parts for the bb exchange later on

[linkstar69]

Sweet, an Ozzy mopar project. Great work you're doing there. Nothin wrong with the 318 real under rated little engine...... I imagine it would like boost ;)

I Like how the engine came out. I also agree with you on simply getting it running now. Driving it is the bets part
