What kind of H.P. you hoping to get ?

Low 500's I think, enough for the street.

Is your car at a local shop? Just curious who’s doing your work. Thanks jesse

The car is at South City Rod and Custom in Hayward. Their work is over the top!

Got more interior fab work done. Master cylinder, gas pedal, brake pedal, A/C, Fuse panels, gas tank, grill and steering column are all in. More to come in January.

This would be a good way to utilize a car with bad floors, rails etc. Remove the junk and plop over a new chassis.

That is some awesome work !

The purist will say they have a real charger not a little tin on a all new car With nothing left but a vin. IMO I need to follow you guys around and raid your scrap pile... all the parts that get scrapped. I really get a kick out of the pure stock classes .. bias ply tires and kicking ***. To each their own.

No insult meant to the purist crowd, builds like this are just a lot of fun and the end product is a better performing car. Like you said, to each their own.

Kinda like part of Burger Kings slogan. Have it your way...

I've been absent for a while. Here are the latest pictures, a rendering of the car, interior rendering and a picture of the wheels. Progress is slow but its moving along. Dash is one off 3D printed as will be the door panels and steering wheel. Engine bay sheet metal is about 70% finished.

AWESOME

I had been "on the fence" about changing out my factory simulated wood steering wheel, 3 spoke aluminum with that GREAT Roadrunner horn cap insert for a "Tuff style" steering wheel, especially since my Wraptor serpentine belt and accessories system added power steering.
My question for the OP or anyone else who may know, are there any "Tuff style" horn caps that can have the "Roadrunner Beep-Beep" circular insert added, or can use the one I have, even modifying it?
Awesome build, again, thanks!

Just in time for Halloween. Here are a couple of newly installed parts on the Charger. First is the power brake vacuum pump (Prius type) hidden in the left front fender behind the tire. Second is the transmission cooler hidden in the left front fender in front of the tire. Parts are being hidden everywhere. Both will be "paneled off" when the build is complete.

The wheels are in final paint, here's work in progress on the centers

Cool build but my only question is if this is going to be a show queen or are ya gonna drive the snot out of it or both?!

Most likely it will be both. If the car turns out like I'm hoping, I'll do the car show circuit and then drive the crap out of it just like I do with my Dart.

Got the wheels last week, tires next week. Starting to take shape!

Sweet!!!!!
