Custom 68 Charger Restomod

[RestoModGuy]

Built this Custom Showcar Restomod last summer. Lot's of customizing on this one. This was a really fun build and only my third build after not building in almost 40 years.

Molded in front and rear bumpers - Front air-dam - rear valance with custom quad exhaust system - increased the rear lip spoiler - modified the twin-door scoops to a single 1970 version - and my favorite is the twin air scoop on the hood with the custom engine compartment surround.

Nice custom work mate..  

[GTJUNIOR]

Creative custom touches on your Charger. Very nice work.

Nice custom work. But I have to admit I don't get the point of that "inner hood."

Like all of the ground effects and the hood intakes. I kind of agree with the engine cover, I think it hides the detail work on the engine. Very nice paint and the wheels really show off the disc brakes.

Wow! When you have skills you have skills no matter how long you've been away from the bench. Way to go bro, welcome back to the model building tribe.

Nice custom work. But I have to admit I don't get the point of that "inner hood."

Appreciate the comment, the idea of the engine cover is based on what I see on many show cars now is a formed bodywork approach to the engine bay.

It also serves as the integral cold-air intake. I like it and think it added another custom dimension to the Custom Show car direction I was going with this one. 

It is removable of course to show details, but I didn't photograph that as I intend to show it with it on.

Thanks everyone for the comments, I guess its the reason we all post our builds in the first place.

Thanks for the comment. Actually I was going to do that but rushed to paint, this was a build-off challenge with limited time

Jim, this one is rock solid awesome! Great styling touches especially to the front and back. The under hood mods just reflects what the 1:1 manufacturers are doing. Not unusual at all.
