We have been in the process of building a 69 Dodge Charger for a repeat customer for several months now.

The car sits on a roadster shop chassis with one off wheels from Greening Auto. The engine is a Gen III 426 Hemi with Hilborn EFI mated to a Bowler t56.
The body has been highly modified tastefully in my opinion.

One of two cars we started with

We changed the lower mounting location on the fender to mount up rather than into the pinch weld which we eliminated earlier.

We had the Roadster Shop build the chassis with a 3 inch longer wheel base. I was never a fan of the large "overhang" in front of the wheel.

One of the main body mods to be done to the car was changing the body lines on the doors. I was never a fan of how the upper body line crossed in the door. This required us to build new door skins to straighten out the lines as well as correct the lines in the fenders to flow straight rather than downward.

any one who knows chargers knows how terrible the trunk jamb looks where all the panels meet. That will be corrected on this car.

Another Modification I wanted to do was to flatten out the front valance and not have if fall under the car so bad. We had to rebuild the entire front section of the front fenders as well as build a front valance from scratch. We also built an alloy front chin spoiler.

Fog light pockets were salvaged from a camaro front valance.

Love the new body lines and door skins! Very tasteful mods indeed!

The front wheel arch combined with the lines will leave people scratching their heads for sure! And I personally love that kind of stuff... when you know something's been changed but the execution is so good you can't put your finger on it.

Can't wait to see all the metal work on this one finished! :thumbsup:

I know you guys are used to seeing gushing responses to your posts, but your work is getting even better, your "stampings" look OEM, well better than OEM.

All that beautiful metalwork only to be covered with some dynamat and carpet !

Love the extremely well integrated rocker panel e-brake handle as well.

Well dang lost all the pictures in this thread. Sometimes I wonder if FB or somebody bought Photobucket and screwed everyone just to kill the forums. I still don't understand that situation, why not just raise your fees rather than triple them or whatever and kill the business.

Anyway here is nice article on the finished car:

http://www.hotrod.com/articles/1969-charger-love-or-hate/?wc_mid=4035:9944&wc_rid=4035:1298639&_wcsid=196164CDAB676507899B3AD18DBB13EEB447363C245 8438B

Warning - Hot Rod's site is the worst site ever for ads. I used to turn off my ad blocker because sometimes the pictures wouldn't load and it was awful, would acompletely hose my browser sometimes.. It seems to be working now with ad blocker on - 54 ads blocked.

Preson, I'm not a conspiracy theorist (also not implying you are) but I have wondered the same exact thing several times. They literally shot themselves in the foot in a fantastic way and single handedly shutdown many forums in the process. Did they honestly think everyone would suddenly cough up $400 a year for hosting? :computer:


Thanks for sharing the Hot Rod article, the finished car turned out well. Too bad hot Rod's site is absolute chaos to navigate thanks to the ads. I feel for someone who is A.D.D. :twak:

My understanding is that the photos should still all be hosted on your PhotoBucket account; they just disabled displaying them on external websites. So if you were dying to re-upload them somewhere else, and go through this whole thread and update the img links, you technically could. :D

EDIT: Forgot to say the finished product looks freaking amazing!

I love the car. I'm glad they mentioned all the modifications. I'm not familiar enough with Mopar's to catch all the changes.
