1970 Charger Pro-Tour Build - aka "Punishment"
 
I am building a 1970 Charger, fully modernized, from the ground-up. The name of the car is "Punishment."

The work is being done by Dave Salvaggio, in Milwaukee: http://www.salvaggioautodesign.com/

Dave also built the 1970 Challenger known as "Insidious." Pictures of that car are here:
http://www.amcarguide.com/custom/cle...ge-challenger/

I'll post pics here as the car gets built.

charger build
 
I own a 68 charger that I am building, and was wondering one thing. What are you using for bumpers? and what did you do the th rear glass area?

verticalflight 03-25-2012 07:32 PM

We are forming our own new bumpers for front and rear out of carbon

Nice, very nice. I am going to be modding my stock brackets on mine to bring both bumpers in closer to the body. What are you guys putting in that thing for power? engine wise?

verticalflight 03-25-2012 08:06 PM

6.1 hemi :thumbsup:

tones2SS 03-26-2012 08:34 PM
