69 Charger @ BBT Fabrications
 
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.

The front and rear bumpers will be flush fit to the car out of .125 Alloy.

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.
