At SEMA...

I got bored watching the video, I only assumed that’s what it has because that’s what everyone flocks too

I agree, exiting the wife from the video was a marketing mistake.

I don't like it. Some may see the grays as classy or refined but I just don't like it. Looking across a parking lot, you might as well be only able to see black and white. Cars like mine stand out like a naked man running down the street with his hair on fire.
I'm not that impressed by the compelling urge to leave carbon fiber parts clear coated instead of being painted.
I know that these SEMA cars are often over the top to get attention but jeez, 90% of the Chargers are black or gray. It is WAY overdone.

Love those door handles! It makes me happy seeing these kids excited about restoring old cars, even though they are not doing it the way most of us would. When I was young like him I had no time at all to even change the oil, what with working and chasing furry little triangles.
Heres one with the shaved roof drip rails for those who have been talking about doing it.
Overall a two thumbs up for enthusiasm and creativity.

Why would they do that to the Grill. Hope you have fun their.

Agreed, that's what they did to the Fast & Furious later versions of Charger. I've seen a similar treatment done quite a bit with these recent resto-mods, and doing away with the pop-up headlights is blasphemy, in my books. When I fabricated my own grille to fix several broken areas, I absolutely had to maintain the pop-up headlights.

All of the 1970 Charger custom cars with custom grilles seem to abandon the concealed headlight design and it never is an improvement.

Why are all these cars gray or black? At a glance, you'd think they are all the same car with minor changes.
Then there was THIS '69 Charger sporting a 90s sort of Dodge grille design....

Totally agree. All of those look bad to my eyes. I also wonder how long those hinky-dink door handles will last until they break...seems weird to me, if you're going to modernize the door handles, french 'em or something, don't leave them sticking out there but lacking a push-button.
