B-Body on Hellcat Chassis

[Zell]

I just read an article where a 69 Charger body was fitted to a Hellcat Chassis:

For those of you interested in swap like this you may want to take a look at the article. Since I like doing metal work, I have to ask if anyone on the forums has done a similar swap, and if you did, how long did it take you?

From a quick pass it seems like it would be easier to just restore a 69 Charger!

I cannot get past the shitty looking wheel openings. I like the 68-70 exterior styling. I know the reasons for the changes but they are not a visual improvement.

I get it insane power , reliability handling and everything else but those big wheels on the car and the wheel well cutouts I don't like either .
Maybe a smaller wheel in there would sway my mind .
It will probably drive insanely great though ..

I don't mind big wheels but late model cars use wheels with almost no depth to them...no "dish".
I like the traditional aftermarket offsets like these:

Such mods are for those with more money than common sense. Just whats wrong with the Hell Cat body that one would destroy a old Charger to change it?
Sounds like destroying two good cars to make a Charger, Dodge should be building in the first place.

Yeah, Pete. The red Charger is mine.

Damn that some crazy fab work. Crazy to cut up two valuable cars like that, that project has some budget.
