1968 Dodge Charger body

[Pauli072]

Question to ask guys.
Do you think I could build a complete 68 Dodge Charger from scratch using AMD panels with some kind of a jig. Chargers becoming way too expensive nowadays so I was thinking of buying a rusted out charger and buy it strictly for the numbers only that way I can get one cheap ?

where would you come up with all the odds and ends?

 

[dadsbee]

Stevens did it.. LOL

I believe a member has a tread on his build

You’ll have to remove the word

CHEAP…… from your vocabulary first …

Why don’t you just repanel a Crown Vic

Like the General Lee Jumpers do ?!?!?!

IMO if you can find a solid 2 or 4 door cornet that would be the way to go. Would get you a good base to start with. Roof structure on the 4 door would be different for sure but not sure how different the 2 door roof structure is. Good luck.

You are better off saving your pennies and buying a nicer car... that is, unless you prefer torture.

The charger sail panel/c panel is longer then any b body. I guess if AMD has the inner metal that could work. I would rather save and wait to find one. They are out there.

Keep looking, they’re out there.

@70Polara440 has done research on charger conversion with AMD stuff

If you think from scratch is going to be less expensive you had better guess again.

US Car Tool had a complete Charger body built with AMD parts on display at Carlisle this past July. It is a joint venture between US Car Tool and AMD. The price for the complete assembled second generation Charger was $34,995.

Built totally from scratch without a donor part - it will need an entirely new VIN and registration process......like a new build.

Start with a donor and do the replacements will be easier.

 

[chargervert]

It is the same deal as the Camaro and Mustang bodies available aftermarket where a donor tag is used.

You can’t build one without a donor car. There’s a few pieces they don’t make. I know because I went through this 2 years ago
