No power window regulators are planned at this point. Dakota Digital makes a power door lock actuator - it would not fit in the immediate area of the door locking mechanism - the window is too closely fit into this space - - but would this work if a small cable was routed to the actual locking...

That's interesting - locate the solenoid somewhere else where there is space in the door and see if I can route a cable up to the locking mechanism...I like this. Thanks Pnora.

Hello All, In keeping with a long running theme of "things-I-wish-I'd-thought-about-beforehand" - I have worked myself into a corner that I'm wondering if anyone knows how to get out of. Here it is: I installed a set of Kindig door handles on my '68 Dodge Charger. They look great, all credit...

Thank you 70 Chall440! And thank you for the help all along the way - your advice has been invaluable. I'm excited that it's getting to a place where I can see the end of the tunnel. I wonder if there is some type of block off plate I can find...probably can't just leave it open? Or can I....

Hey SixPacktoGo - love your build too, looks awesome! The dipstick is actually the factory dipstick. Because I went with aftermarket valve covers, I had to use a stud, bolts, washers and lock washers to get the factory dipstick in place appropriately and tighten the valve cover down at that...

Thank you Rem Charger! Looks like you're exactly right...interesting. Found the part here. Authentic Mopar Engine Block Heater V8 HEMI Engines - 82208937 | Mopar Online Parts It comes with a standard wall plug....uh...that's a new one for me. Not sure I'd ever actually use this, I'm in CA...

Hey All, Making some good progress on my '68 Charger Resto Mod. Paint and Body is complete, now putting it all back together. Specs: 6.1 Liter Gen III Hemi, 2007 block. Tremec TK500 5 speed Transmission (converted over from automatic), 8 3/4" rear end with 3.73 gearing, stock suspension set...

@493Mike: WOW! That looks amazing - really great looking engine bay and build. I'm glad I'm on a similar page as you - thank you for all of the photos, lets me know I'm not too far off track!

Good tips re the adjustment cams needing an access port - that would have gotten right by me. Noted and now - thankfully - accounted for. Thank you both for that input. I searched and searched for a clean way to run the heather hoses and AC lines into the engine bay, kept running into one...

Hello All, I'm building a '68 Charger with a 6.1 liter built Gen 3 Hemi. I would like to build a cold air intake box on the driver's side of the engine bay where (approximately) the battery would go (I'm relocating my battery to the trunk). Has anyone done this? Any parts / examples to...

@70chall440: This is AMAZINGLY helpful! As always. I appreciate the advice. A wiring binder is a great idea. I have kept electronic folders throughout this process (fairly reliably) and it has been critical. As various life things interfere with this build, I need documents to come back...

@70chall440 Thank you very much - really helpful advice and great pictures. I bought a grommet (the one Holley recommends) but it's only 2" - I like your idea of getting something a little bigger - seems like a lot of wires need to pass through. I may have to put my pass through a little...

Nice! Thank you both - I think I've figured most of the pedal stuff out - just had to do some digging and deep examination of the original pedal bracket. 70 Chall - one quick question - the trans tunnel entry makes great sense. Did you drop down the harness behind the engine? Any wrap /...

Hydraulic. Beautiful 69 by the way.

Hey All, Progress in fits and starts with my '68 Charger. What started as a non-numbers matching 440 rebuild 11 years ago has turned into a full tear down and resto-mod rebuild. I've got a stroked 3rd gen Hemi 6.1. I have the Terminator X Max ECU / harness, etc. I have purchased the...
