I wish I got to go. Only a few more years and I'll go. Charger is SICK.

The crew and I spent a bunch of time checking this out. Turned out awesome! Great job buddy. Shows very well. Cant wait to hear reports on how it drives. Very cool. :thumbsup:

Agreed, this car is awesome!

What a great day at SEMA yesterday. The car was photographed lots of times. People were very excited about the front bumper and engine placement, the rear tail lights, and the interior.

MOPAR got some love!

Some pics from the day... the first is me with Dave Salvaggio the builder...

OUTSTANDING!!! Everthing on this car is done to perfection!! The paint work alone was incredible!!:wow:

You guys did a fabulous job, I would love to see it in person.

Wouldn't change a thing, well, except for maybe a vintage hemi... well maybe not, anyway, kudos.

She's perfect. Love the colour too.

Very nicely done....

I don't know how you managed to create such an illusion of depth in the door pocket like that, but the LED accent lighting just looks incredible. Combined with the dash instruments this is one of the best interiors I have seen in a while.

I don't know my Chargers that well, but if I didn't know better I would think the doors have actually been widened based on how "wide" that top flat shelf portion is. I am widening my Mustang doors and they look like that now.

It would be interesting to see more of how that door glass was flush mounted and all that was involved in that. I'll look back through this thread but I don't think its in here.

I see you guys used the new steering column. We did the same thing except we used the factory steering wheel. Not fun to make the horn work with out an airbag inside. It is nice having tilt and a telescoping steering column. Looks great!

nice work. Must smell like a new car!!! :thumbsup:

We see a lot of top quality pro builds on this site and I get as jaded as anyone. i checked out this car a few times and really liked it, but while I like Mopars the Charger isn't my favorite early body style, and my build style preferences a bit different than this car, but I keep finding myself coming back to this thread and checking out the pictures again. I think its the interior especially that is really turning my crank, but the late model tail lights and paint quality are so good too, and the "unnoticed" details like the flush mount glass - anyway a 2nd set of congratulations on capturing the 'je ne sais qua' of pro touring.

Beautiful job. I love this car, everything looks awesome.

Hey guys, been a while. the car is on its way now from Milwaukee, via Passport Transport.

The car made it into Popular Hot Rodding. Here are a few pics... along with an extra from Rob McGaffin!

The most beautiful charger I have Ever Seen

I have a Dodge Charger 1968 project And I am modifying the firewall, The only problem I am facing In that modification is The wipers motor Location
So I am wondering What did you use for the wipers or how did you manage to hide it.

Thanks
