About this Mopar:

This project started out with a running, driving, licensed 1968 Charger R/T that was my daily driver for several years. Then I decided that it would be a good idea to take it apart and cherry it out...over a decade into it so far. Painting it factory (SS1) Sun Fire Yellow. Since this is real XS number matching Charger I'm going to be gentle with the mods. Mostly bolt on goodies that any Mopar purest wouldn't have a duck fit about when I eventually sell the car. Had to replace the typical areas on these Chargers, trunk floor and extensions, quarters and lower rear valance as well as the front aprons. Floor was remarkably solid only requiring a couple of small patches around the toe boards. Frame rails are solid as well as the torsion bar cross member. Pretty much cancer free now.

Pressure checked my fuel system yesterday, held 92 psi overnight.
Held better than my compressor. Should be good to go
 
who makes that air filter base?
It was on the car when I bought it, figured it was a OEM piece. I bought a 2in drop base from Mancini that gave me 3/8in more hood clearance, plus I won’t lose any sleep hacking into the new base for the sensors.
 
who makes that air filter base?
I just went on their website. I dont see anything that looks like that. I am looking for a a base exactly like that with a taper into the throttle body (think velocity stack) but with a drop base. If you get a chance could you get me a part number? I've been trying to find something to work with my set for years.
 
Worked on getting the hood skin reattached to the inner structure. Used 3-M panel bond adhesive. Cured up bitchin, no more rattles or oil canning, hoods solid again :thumbsup:
 
Getting a chance to stab the new dizzy, got a slight clearance issue with the MP valve cover. Need to trim it up a bit but it’ll work.
 
Hi, just joined this forum and searched 68 Charger and yours got my immediate attention. Your pics get me excited to do a project, but very hard to find a decent project car for a reasonable price. This car was similar to my 68 I had from 72 to 80. My most favourite car .. in yellow. Hard to find.

Welcome aboard Mopar brother. I appreciate the kind words. It is really tough to find a 68 Charger in any kind of condition that wont break the bank right from the get go... fortunate I was able to hang onto mine for the last 32 yrs.
 
What brand and where did you get your spark plug looms? Thanks in advance.....you're doing a beautiful job!

Thanks brother. The looms are from Mr. Gasket, had to fabricate some bracketry to get them where they are now. I just wanted a hard solution to keep from frying the plug wires.
 
Installed the 440 Source Fluidampr yesterday. Freakin big sucker compaired to the Direct-Connection balancer that was on there. Looks pretty well made (and in America)..
 
Lot's of work and more work. Good job. Love too see the finished project. It take special guy's to take on a project of this scale. I like it. :thumbsup:
 
Haven’t had much time to work on the car, been busy raising a 3 month old border collie. Going thru the devil dog period...
 
Not sure what I like better, the pup or the charger. Love that color since seeing Peter Fonda in 'Crazy Mary, Dirty Larry'. Keep up the great work, Brother

Thanks brother!
I have a fondness for the 67's, was my first MoPar. Bought it with the 318 under the hood and a complete 440 in the trunk...
