Title: Wheels of Terror 73 Build!!!!
Post by: Indygenerallee on April 27, 2012, 06:58:03 PM
Well "Wheels of Terror" Kinda kicked this off when she brought up her tattoo! I had a 73 Charger and have had it listed but no takers yet so I figured why the heck not build a "Wheels of Terror" Charger!!! :icon_smile_big: I pulled it in this evening and started on it, mind you this is gonna be a quickie as my real project is my 69 Daytona clone, but I figured I can do this on the cheap and have a cool on screen car (even if the movie was as fun as watching paint dry!  :smilielol:) I decided to modify the front bumper first and it was not easy!!!! I had to use the wheel lift on my rollback to smash the top bar down and then at the same time the winch to pull it forward so I could tack it before letting the pressure up off of it!!!! Your not gonna use a BFH and get that top bar down in place!!!! :lol: Tomorrow I am going to cut the louver vents in the hood and "smash" it down in the front!!! I am going to buy some black tractor paint and paint it after I give it a VERY quick lower quarter work!!  :smilielol: I will tint the windows with some left over tint I have here in the shop and the SE quarter windows will get the spray paint tint from the inside!!!  :smilielol: Still need 4 plain steelies (could give a crap less what size) although 14's up front and 15's out back would make it look more evil!!  :icon_smile_big:

Yea! This is what  it's all about. Having some fun.

The hood might be tricky.
Title: Re: Wheels of Terror 73 Build!!!!
Post by: Indygenerallee on April 27, 2012, 08:57:00 PM
Yeah I have looked at pics and the dip in the middle of the hood and I was thinking of making a relief cut right up the middle to where the dip stops, then push it down then butt weld it back together! I really like the front bumper! I can't wait to put the headlight buckets in it and see how much more "Evil" it looks!!
Title: Re: Wheels of Terror 73 Build!!!!
Post by: Mike DC on April 27, 2012, 10:12:56 PM
The hood would probably best be done by pie-cutting the area and welding in a sliver of extra metal.  Maybe a couple of pie-cuts, one on either side of the hood's center raised ridge.  Maybe even add an extra perpendicular section to bring the hood's leading edge back out far enough forward. 

You could just whack it down and have it be more screen-accurate.  But that method didn't look a whole lot like a factory job when the movie crew did it.      

Either way, you might wanna experiment on a junk hood if you can come up with one.

That is really awesome! I was going to do that with mine but it was a Spring Special and I wouldnt do it to a Rallye hood. I can't wait to see it when its done. I love the Charger not the actual script. Keep us updated!

Good job................. Would love to see it out and about.  That's going to get plenty of attention out on the road. What fun!

There is a downside though............You're going to get people asking you all sorts of silly questions like what car is that/what year is that!

This thread got me curious, so I watched a few minutes of that movie. Uhhhh.....
I suppose that you intend to install a 300,000 mile 318 so you spew blue smoke everywhere you go? What the heck, man! That movie car was embarrassing! A Charger that can't outrun a woman driving a school bus with a 4 speed? REALLY??? Hey... I think the Charger looks sorta cool though... all "ratted" out with the bumper mods, flat black appearance and shredded vinyl top.
Title: Re: Wheels of Terror 73 Build!!!!
Post by: 1BAD68 on April 28, 2012, 02:39:51 PM
This is great  :cheers:
The movie bombed so bad that hardly anyone is going to know what car this is but doesn't matter, it will be one of the meanest looking cars ever made.
Even at night that thing looks pissed.
I'll be following this thread. Good job on the bumper too  :2thumbs:

Well here is another update on "The Terror" The other "Terrors" decided they wanted to help out on it today so I said go at it! They might learn a thing or two so I am going to let them do bodywork and some painting as you can't do anything wrong on this clone!!  :smilielol: Here are a few pics of them fighting over tools and complaining about anything in general!  :lol: I did get the hood modified, I pie cut the middle rib out of it
and it folded downward nicely! I took a piece of 14 ga. steel and welded it back into place, I think it looks pretty darn close to what was in the movie, I also got a couple of the hood "vents" cut and bent need to finish them but otherwise I am pleased with how it's coming along! I think I am going to buy a gallon of rust-o-leum flat black to paint it!! Here are the pics!!

 :2thumbs: Cool project!  It is coming along nicely.  The bumper is mean looking, reminds me a lot of a 70 Coronet.  I also scanned "quickly" through the movie on Youtube.  Definitely not the greatest of flicks.  The mud actually has a cool design of sorts.  There are not a ton of pics for this thing and the youtube video is low-res.

Thanks guy's! I know the film was attrocious but I like the Charger! I watched the film when it came out in 90 I think it was on the USA channel and it was real late at night, they had some big boobed big hair blonde chick hosting cheesy B movies on Friday nights! I kind of forgot about it until a few years ago (with a quality film like "Wheels of Terror" who could forget!  :rofl:) It is something fun and quick and does not have to be "perfect"!! And like I said I hope I can teach my kiddos something along the way and they can work on it without myself sweating they are gonna tear something up!!! :icon_smile_big:

LOL, I watched that same show every Friday.  I remember her too.  "Up All Night with Rhonda Shear" on USA Network.  Too funny!
I guess a later, non-scary ripoff of Elvira.

I think it would look cool if after it is painted flat black, if you mixed up some reduced browns/tans and misted on some fake mud and dust.

Cool project, keep up the good work.

Got a little more finished on "The Terror" this evening, painted the inside of the valance panel black (had a hideous neon green color!) and bolted it to the car (only 2 bolts gotta round up more!!) Scraped the million stickers off the back glass! Also I had noticed the Charger in the movie had some of those generic black mirrors on the car and I thought I had a set I had found in another car a few years back!! The one time in my life it paid off actually saving something!! :lol: So i drilled the holes and bolted them on Im not even gonna bother painting them! They have a nice "patina"  :smilielol: Also bolted the bumper on, need to pick up a gallon of filler tomorrow and give her a once over, I am shaving the sidemarker lights to (they were all crap) and the movie car looks like it does not have them on it so its easier to shave em' rounded up a couple more parts, I still need a driver side door glass and I am looking for a set of plain black steel wheels, The steel wheels I have on the front have the wrong center hub (smaller) and wont bolt on. Here are a couple pics!

Nice, way to go, Indy.
This is an interesting project and it'll be fun to see if anyone dives out of your way as you roar through town.  :hah:

you might want to get some brown vinyl paint and spray on the 'dirt' to keep it permanently 'dirty' (even mix in some real dust?)

It's amazing to me that the moviemakers didn't just use a '70 Coronet in the first place.  It certainly wouldn't have cost any more than a stock '73-74 Charger in 1989.  But the rest of the car looks better on the Charger IMHO.

Hahaha awesome, I just realized that when I watched that movie as a kid, I had no idea it was a modified bumper/grille.   I thought Dodge had produced these from the factory.   It always looked a bit like a '70 Coronet, only angrier.

 :lol: Yeah I actually laid some lightweight filler on the hood last night smoothing the hood out, I have been trying to find a cheap set of steel wheels and they seem to have all dried up!! Seems that tends to happen just at the time you happen to be searching for something!! Can't find it!! I promise more pics as soon as I get back on it (trying to finish up the 72 Dart Swinger to sell!)

Thanks guy's! I know the film was attrocious but I like the Charger! I watched the film when it came out in 90 I think it was on the USA channel and it was real late at night, they had some big boobed big hair blonde chick hosting cheesy B movies on Friday nights!

LOL, I watched that same show every Friday.  I remember her too.  "Up All Night with Rhonda Shear" on USA Network.  Too funny!
I guess a later, non-scary ripoff of Elvira.

Good plan.  All five WoT wanks (or wankettes) will fall all over themselves    :smilielol:    But it only takes two bidders. 

Maybe after this you can build the Superbird from "The Darkling".

I looked at pics the "Darkling" Superbird looks like any normal superbird looks like it is Tor-red and has some funky thin racing stripes that come up the hood off the nosecone blackouts, I won't be doing that! My Daytona clone is good enough for me!

Yep no progress been trying to detail out the 72 Dart since I have it for sale and tomorrow I should finally have the couple final touches done on it and I can get the quick bodywork done on "the Terror" I have the paint (Gallon of flat black rustoleum!) I also have the 20% window tint, hopefully next week I can jump back on it!! I still need a driver side door glass for a 73-74 SE if anyone has one let me know what you want for it!

I have several pieces 3rd gen door glass .... I just don't know how to id it as 71-72 or 73-74. I would donate it for shipping & packaging cost if I can get some help w/numbers of ID. SE/Rallye/Std for a door should all be the same. Is electric vs hand crank identical? Also need help via numbers to ID clear vs. tint too.

If it's super cool when done, you have to give me an eBay price break!  :lol:

all 71/74 door glasses are the same, no matter if powered or manual... just diff if tinted or not

just quartes change, being, 71 hardtop, 71/72 coupe, 72 hardtop, then 73/74 hardtop, 73/74 coupe and then 73/74 opera window ( no matter if SE or M07 code, since only diff is the added louvers or outer frame where it mounts )... then all these being tinted or not

Mike, Thanks for the deal!! my zip is 47834, I am actually suprised about the amount of intrest in the car myself! It does look really evil and should look even better in flat black paint with the tinted windows, Chris brought me a gas tank this evening for it, so a little closer!

Need to know if the glass you need should be tinted or not. Might be on your fender tag if are not sure. The difference between the two isnt obvious to me unless I compare side by side. I'll go check the stash this AM ......

Looks like I have 1 tint and 2 std. So a std it will be. It's just glass, nothing attached but a couple of the studs... ok?

I'll PM you some ship info when I get it figured out. The box will be good size.
