Does the old Charger body reinforce the LX platform enough, or is there some noticeable chassis flex?

Almost like you have to build 2 or 3 of these conversions to have a good plan on how to do things  :2thumbs:

I added 2x4 frame rails so I am not depending on the body. I did not do this in my Daytona and yes there is flex but no more than an original Charger.

It helps to have done one before but each one has unique challenges.

With the dash so thick from the door post back will the original Charger window cranks be able to turn and not hit the dash pad or are you putting electric windows in ?

Boy did that donnor car he built in on have a rough life

The Carfax report lists an accident in November 2011 that resulted in front-end damage after hitting a deer as well as damage to the left front in November 2013, and "moderate damage" in January 2017 to the front and right side of the vehicle along with fire damage. The Carfax report also notes that the car was deemed a "Total Loss" in April 2017.
