"1968 Charger w/ 6.1L, 6 spd, RMS AlterKtion and 4 link"

Rear end is set up...

I sourced the clutch/brake pedals and master cylinder from a 2010 Challenger SRT8. The pedals had to be straightened and shortened but they will work well.

Exhaust is mocked up

Front frame rails are reinforced by a bar that runs from the cowl to the front frame rails; the bar also ties into the top of the shock tower. I don't like these types of reinforcements to be in the engine bay. A plate was welded in at each end for the bar to be welded to.

That looks nice.  

I guess you've considered the tire clearance all throughout the suspension & steering movement.  And the brace on the inside of the fenders (above the wheelwell opening) will have to be modified.  

 

[Kern Dog]

That is an interesting support.

Yep-tire clearance has been considered and I'm planning on modifying that brace since I had to do that when I lowered my 68 roadrunner.

I'm going with 2010 Challenger SRT8 front seats so the floor pan profile needed to change. In the first picture, you can see the humps that needed to be removed in order to get the seats to sit lower in the car. The seat motors interfered with the humps and ig pedestals would have been built, the seats would sit too high.



The center of the pans was cut out and a new plate welded in...





Also, the column is now in place...

Good progress. I looked at Challenger seats in 2015 but they did sit too tall.
I have that same DeWalt grinder....good tool!

Good call on modernizing the seats.  I restomodded my car, powertrain, brakes and suspension but kept everything else original.  The original seats do not have the necessary support in the corners as the new restomod is too fast for the seats in the corners!

[70B5Cuda]

Exhaust is mostly done and brakes have been mounted...

[Kern Dog]

I really like the support bar in the front wheelwells!

In the third picture where you can see the mufflers looking forward to the front of the car

Is there any piece of metal that you can see in that picture that originally came on that car ??

Looking from the bottom side, The sheetmetal under the rear seat, the right rocker, and the torsion bar crossmember are all original sheetmetal.

Very cool! Nice job working the exhaust through the 4 link, I'll be doing that soon.
Thanks!

[TexasStroker]

Coming along very nicely!

[70B5Cuda]

Thanks everyone!

The car is now sitting on it's wheels for the first time in nearly 2 years.

[WHITE AND RED 69]

Looks killer! Nice and low   

What size are those wheels & tires?

[70B5Cuda]

Fronts are 245 18's and the rears are 335 or 345...I can't remember which

[70B5Cuda]

Time to get back on this Charger. Doors are coming off first to rebuild the door hinges....

[Mopar Nut]

 

[70B5Cuda]

Panels and gaps are getting dialed in starting with rebuilding the left door hinges first. Then a relief cut was made along the bottom of the quarter to pull the quarter in at the bottom. Once the door and lower quarter were set, the forward edge of the quarter was adjusted to create an even gap between the door and quarter.

[TTSaleen]

Looks great!

[70B5Cuda]

The left door had some rust in the corners...which has now been repaired. Also, the AMD rocker was a little too short; you can see it as you follow the door's leading edge gap down to the rocker. It's now been fixed.

I may get some static on this post, but the marker lights have been deleted. The wheel lips were also trimmed.
