Don B Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Hi Everyone, After a minor setback it's finished. I started this build as a replica stock but had a change of mind. I decided to do it like the street cruisers of the early 70's so I ditched the magnum 500 wheels for some aftermarket wheels. I also blacked out the grill added yellow plug wires and headers along with lakewood traction bars. Raised the rear end a little. The usual BMF treatment and Keith Marks decals. It was a fun conversion to do. Thanks to fellow board member Ron S for making the personalized rear license plate along with the front vanity plate. Here are some pics. I hope you like it. Comments Welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FordRodnKustom Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Outstanding build Don. The colors and period details are perfect. I can smell the $.45 a gallon Sunoco 260 now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Kern Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 That is beautiful! This has to be one of the finest Chargers I've seen yet (along with Andy's). All my favorites; year, color, wheels, striping, stance, etc, etc. Fantastic job on the details, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James W Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Very nice! I've always considered the 68 Charger to be the best looking muscle car out there, and you've done them proud!!! I dig the over-spray on the chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don B Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 Thanks everyone for the kind words. It was really a blast to build. I just started my next project. It's a 69 Dodge Dart GTS.

I am sorry for awakening an old thread. THANK YOU for awakening this old thread. I missed it the first time around, so I'm glad I got to see this '68. INCREDIBLE build. The '68 Charger was BY FAR the best looking year. BEAUTIFUL PAINT! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 In a nutshell, you've totally nailed it. I have to agree- this is one of the finest Chargers I've ever seen. The Arrest-Me-Red paint, the wheels and the tires complete a killer package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
