The car is a 1968 body grafted onto a 2007 SRT8 magnum chassis. Those are the factory SRT8 brake calipers. Only the body skin and the dash structure are '68

Awesome work, I think I remember seeing your charger at the fall fling a while back. Does it have a forward opening hood? I think I have pictures of it...

Thanks. Now that we did one it doesn't seem that bad. We are going to put together an e-book for people that want to build one. Just need to get off of my a$$ and get the book done.

As for your Charger, You have to put in at least 1 hour a day. Even if all you do is set the tools on the bench to do something the next, or spend the hour making a detailed list of what needs done. I have over 1400 hours into that damn car but most of it was blood and sweat. Even when I was out of money I did an hour a day cleaning bolts or painting something.

It sounds stupid but it works. Here are photos of the donor cars.

My wife and I painted this car semi gloss black with Rustolium (sp) "professional". It is great paint, comes in big cans and doesn't hold water and dirt like primer does.  I got talked into getting a rush paint job on the srt-68 for sema and I am sorry I did. There are 100 things wrong with the paint and body. But as a driver that may not be a bad thing.

Here is a photo in semi gloss rattle can paint.

i keep reading about rustoleum.. remember reading about a guy who painted his car with a high density foam roller?? and just wet sanded inbetween coats and it came out beautiful!

That was on Moparts wasn't it?  I seem to recall reading that someplace too.

There are several guys out here that are running rolled on and sanded paint( mostly flat black) and they look great. Total cost $100.

i seen on (i think it was) hotrod tv where they showed that they painted a car with a roller and sanded and buffed it and took it to a car cruise to get feedback and it looked really good. people were amazed at how it was painted. im just not sure on what car show i seen it, but they showed it could be done with great showing.

Come to think of it, my beater challenger would be a perfect candidate for this. My goal for that car is to build it as mean as possible, as cheap as possible.  :scratchchin:
