Not a typical 68 Charger

Thanks for the support.

I am just a hobbyist. I like to push myself on each project and this one has been all of that..haha

Right on, I swapped a 6.4/T56 in my 69 RR and that was a task for me lol. My buddy is in the process of a red eye/t56 swap with the irs rear. But he welded on the front clip of a modern charger for all geometry and suspension.

How much did you pick up the wrecked trackhawk for if you don’t mind me asking.

 

[slowfab]

Grafting on the clips would be a huge undertaking in its own right.
It was one of those complete turnkey ones from Cleveland performance. It was 30k a couple years ago when I bought it.

Do you have pics of the front lower control arms, specifically how you have done the lower shock mount? I went through the thread and didn't see one with a good angle. Thanks!

Nice work, I hope to see it in person someday around town.

Let me know if you want any other angles.

Yeah, for sure. I will keep a eye out for your 67

Perfect, thank you.

Here is some mock up pics. This is at full compression, not ride height. Will end up making custom flares but these help set the stage.

Wicked, did you make the flares?

Sorry, I did not see this until now. No, they were bought online. They are hand made and not cheap, but nice. I am not going to use them as I am 3d printing a set for better fitment.

It runs now. Had a couple ground wires I did not connect as I did not think they were controlling grounds for anything besides lights. Sitting on its wheels now and might be ready for a spin around the block when I get my front seats back from upholstery. I can’t link a quick vid of it running

 

[slowfab]

Got to take it for a spin today. Goes in to the dealer for some programming in 2 weeks. For those with instagram, you can see videos there under user rdlconcepts

Made a cover for the electric power brake pump and got the front glass in.

I am super impressed with this build. I have severe skills envy. Looking at these photos makes me want to go into my garage and burn all my tools.

Thanks.
Self taught with practice. I recommend anyone to go out and just try. Most things can be replaced if it does not work out.
