1968 dodge charger reproduction grill Videos

Love it! I was 9 years old in 69 and my parents bought a brand new Charger RT/SE with a 440 and auto trans. There were numerous burn out streaks from the front of our house to maybe 150 feet out. No brake burn outs with so much smoke we could not see the houses across the street. No one called the police. LOL, the good old days.

The reason that douchebag came on here saying "mustangs are pieces of shit" is because everyone who doesn't drive a Mustang is envious of it's success. The Mustang was THE ONLY muscle car being produced for awhile. The Mustang has had the most success so whenever something is successful people are going to be jealous and hate.

Defo the worst thing about living in ireland! What I would give to own such a beautiful car, but between import tax, insurance, crap roads and the price of petrol I don't think its even feasible. I do own a 200 horsepower monster but unfortunately its a Massey ferguson!!!

@68bobba 68 looks like a 70 bro because the pillar thing int the middle is missing on both the model years the 69 was the only one that had the bar in the middle you cant expect anyone to know if they both looked alike. On the other hand 68 tail lights do look quite nice

I have a 1969 Dodge Charger. I was wondering if you know why it won't start. I checked the wires, the starter, and the battery is new. Would you know Brian Choules what could be wrong? Thanks

Amazing Car, awesome work mate. Your decision of exchanging the grille is completly right. The only thing I would change for my own, would be the color. Wet black looks in my vision nicer

that looks great, I have a 69 Camaro we have now owned for 28 years, need a resto, not as bad as the one you did, but just can't take the first step,,, awesome work.

68 taillights would look better.....beautiful car by the way.....I used to have a 68Charger(check ouy "68 Charger backing out of garage"...thats my old car

@tonythedarkshooter1 You don,t know much about Chargers mate...thats a 68 front,not a 70...shame it doesn,t have 68 tail lights too...they look better....

@lauder12345 came on a charger video to say mustangs are piece of shits? wow... whats the point of this.. and this is about a charger not a mustang ...

@lauder12345 If Mustangs are pieces of shit then how come they are the only car that has been selling every year since 1964. Go fuck yourself faggot.

One question, this car is undoubtedly a '69 charger, but why does it have the grille of a '68? that does no justice to the true beauty of a '69.

Where do you guys get these cars? i cant find them anywhere is it a junk yard or something? how mucch do you pay though?

Hey, you did it backwards! I want a '69 with the split grille with the '68 Charger dual taillights. Still very nice!!

Wow best charger I seeing. Hey what size cragar ss u hv rear n fronts please tell me?? For my Chevrolet chevelle.

Black out the tail light panel and get a 69 grill. You did a nice job brother!! I'm restoring one as well!

beautiful job i love it i just finished restoring my 67 chevelle so much fun to drive eh haha cheers

actually this guy restored it like a 1970 because the bar in the middle of the front is missing

@lauder12345 No they arent idiot. what year are year are you talking about??

can u give me a website to get a full interior kit or do I buy piece by piece

one people have one smart car and dont know anything abouth true cars

nice man one of the best pure muscle cars out there wish i had one

wow nice btw how much did it cost u and how long did it take ?

+RTCHARGER1970 Im watching your whole playlist now to see what all you guys are doing to it.....That must be a motherfucker to cut out the corner panels and reseal them.....But yes my Camaro had a 396 in it but it had alot of work in the engine....It would spin tires even in the beginning of second gear......Driving is something i knew how to do since i first left my diapers......Its really self explanitory how to drive....One of the easiest but most successful talents to have....And i think your Charger was the best year but im not a Charger man....I like the Coronet Superbee better even though it was cheaper.

Very cool. Yeah this is how I found it. The darker green your referring to is very nice. I think it was code f8 dark green metallic. This is f4 light lime green metallic. Your first car is a favorite of mine as well. My charger is ready for paint, hopefully I can find some time to spray it before summers over. Thanks for checking out my vids

@RUMBLEINN Thanks for the kind words. I guess that the important thing is that we are both happy with our cars. I didn't want, nor could I afford a BIG DOLLAR restoration because we drive the heck out of the car. When the weather is nice. Would you believe that my entire project, including all of the tools (NEW) cost me right around $2000.00? I even accomplished the welding with a Flux Core Arc Welder, versus a more expensive GMAW unit. I will review your vids again before any other projects.

@RUMBLEINN It's funny cause I clearly remember watching your vids close to a year ago I think when I was checking out other 70 charger resto's and I was jealous that you were done with yours and mine was torn apart...Funny the way things go. This is what I do for a living so dont feel too bad if you see some mistakes or other ways you could or should have done things.. I think you did a great job for being a novice in the autobody field. Your car looks great...thanks for your comments...Tim Z

Thank you very much for the kind words....I am a seasoned auto body tech with quite a few restos under my belt....I am co owner of DREAMCAR INC...I have always taken this trade serious from an early age and tried to excell in it....This car is my own... being done at my house shop.... Thanks again and stop back soon for the rottisserie video coming soon, I put her up on it today and flipped it on her side..!!!!!!! Remember, there is only one right way to do things....... Thank's again.....Tim

@tripleJ1955 No, actually its finished with 180 and a 220 feather but with feather fill I will achieve 2 things...the ability to block this whole car to mirror perfection with out risk of going through my epoxy undercoat..plus I will never have to worry about shrinkage of any body work because even high grade urethane 2k primers will shrink into your body work in time. This is high end repair procedures that will guarantee longevity of the restoration but do add to the cost of the repair...

@ECCCxMECH Wrong?? not really, but you have taken the photo showing the temp of 76.5 too literally. I am only showing the novices out there that these chemicals are very temperature sensitive, and the GLASURIT EPOXY used is extremely sensitive and will go permanently dorment uncured under 65 degrees and will not come back even if you regain higher temps. The 76 degrees was closer to 80 at spray time and yes, it is a great temp to spray at because the product will flow flat a little easier.

100% CORRECT, GOOD EYES...I was hoping no one was going to catch that before I cut them in...The rear valence didn't meet them to my liking so the decision to fill and then cut perfect lines in after was made...I do that alot when mudwork runs right to this type of seam, and after its cut it is beautiful...Thanks for looking out for a fellow car guy though, I do appreciate it....and check back soon for the rottiserie vid....

Beautiful work, gotta love old mopars, cant wait to see the car complete!!! If you have any friends with front and rear window chrome for a 66 cuda notchback my buddy Doug is looking!! His car is beautiful with 499 cu in big block, and you name it but went thru a nasty divorce and his ex thru all the chrome out, nasty nasty lady!! Any ideas, let me know, southsumasfaren

If the rust is on panels that can be replaced(quarters, fenders, trunk floors, floor boards, rockers, etc.) then it is restorable. Almost anything is restorable but i would stay away from somthing if there is no structure left to the unibody(frame) structure. That can be costly to repair if there is no structural components left, but sheetmetal is no big deal....

G'day mate, just thought I'd say top job your doing. I restore my own cars too. Just wish I had the room you have to work in. I'm currently doing a 72 XA Falcon (aussie). I'll post some vids one day. I hope you do your beast green, remember "green is nice". Cheers from a fellow car guy from down under.

Yeah, how do you think I feel...The anxiety is killing me..especially since my good friend is presently building my original 440 to the tune of about 550 horses...I can't get this baby done quick enough!!!! Gonna need an extra set of skins for the back, they'll be toast the first week....LOL

Yes that 383 does push that old rare Mopar around I get all kinds of looks from people when I drive around and You will too after you get your old Mopar finished great jod.I have a saying do it right the first time around if you just want to halve ass it don't bother. Keep it up 10 Stars.

Great work love too see old Classic Mopar comming back to life great find I have an old rare 68 Dodge Polara 500 2 door 383 4bl in original mint condition bet you have not see one of those in a very long time from one Mopar fan too another

im thinking on buying a 1970 charger thanks 2 your answer i know its a r/t but the person who told me about this car said that the car has to much rust how i know if the car is restorable¿ haha sorry for my english

Very Very awesome restoration. Keep it up. Just wondering, how do you know all of this? Your doing it on your own and you know everything to know on the the things to be done on the restoration. Your awesome.

Man, I shoulda watched all of your videos before I started my project. I did it the hard way in order to save a couple of bucks. Next time, I will do it much differently. Nice job, that is alot of work.

Hi car looks good but the rear valance caps recheck your lines you should able to see the lines do not over fill where they meet I am not trying to be a ass just helping a mopar guy

Sounds like you have a great ride..that 383 must push that Polara around nicely..No, it's been a long time since I've even heard someone say 68 Polara 500 2 dr 383 4bbl...great car

Sure, there are a bunch of them...The Paddock...Auto body specialties...are 2 that I have used but there are many more...I also buy from Ebay as well

Dad gum.... all photos starting from 4:35, the car's body is so smooth that it actually looks like as if it was made out of clay. Excellent work!

is a charger a unibody car or did you just leave the frame on or does it have a front and rear frame and the center just be body?

Nice Project I have a 55 Chevy that I have to do someday. Do You live in Massachusetts ? I am from Woburn Good Luck, Bob

Thank you...it's going up on the rottisserie this week to repair and refinish the undercarriage....video will follow.

Yes, every R/T charger came with a 440 or 426 hemi.....non R/T chargers got a 383 for the biggest engine option..

Stick with it! It's taken me over ten years to do mine and I'm still finishing the interior!!!
