1968 Charger Nascar Build // Ep 17: The Street Legal Stock Car Walkaround

Tons of work has gone in to this 1968 charger stock car build so far. I wanted to make a video explaining where the car is at this stage so far and what has been done. There is still a ton of work to do! The car started out as a perimeter pavement oval track car with a 12in shorter wheel base which I extended right down the center to allow more room and to match the factory 1968 charger wheel base. The motor is a mopar 383 big block backed by a 727 built transmission and a winters quick change rear end.

A lot of body modifications had to be made to fit on the chassis but keep in mind the car I started with was extremely rusty and 80-90% of that need to be cut out anyway.

In the future I plan on adding vintage style race numbers, windshield and back glass, finish the fire wall, and a lot more to make it actually "street Legal" and drivable.

Stay tuned for more updated on the Heavy Metal build!

let me know if you guys have any questions about the build!

Ive seen this a lot all over my social media pages. Ever since i saw it for the first time this has been a dream build of mine

[TheIcyWulf]

Absolutely love this project. It's been such a pleasure to see your progress.

[elijahgonzales]

Bad ass man💯💯 I plan on doing this with my 71 Monte Carlo

Now you really need to make a car hauler out of that old dodge big truck. That would be an awesome set up hauling the racecar on the back! Too cool!

Great job on this car and all the rest of what you’ve done. I first saw you on Roadkill and enjoyed meeting you at the May Farms car show last July. I work for Cruisin’ Productions and we ran that show and a full schedule of others. We’ll have a great year in ‘23 and I hope to see you on the circuit

Can't get enough of this. Fantastic build !!

Floyd's, your work is incredible, the documentary of this project is amazing. I love the madness of your charger .. very very good job, you inspire me to go ahead with a couple of crazy things.
We are waiting for the new project, surely incredible and crazy things will come ...
Congrats friend!!

This is so awesome to see. The 68 Charger has to be one of my favorite cars due to the timeless body lines and classic circle tail lights. I recently had a 2007 Nascar Truck complete with everything including the shell go for sell in my area for $5k and someone beat me there by 15 mins. I'd love to do a project like this but until then I'm enjoying watching your channel.

[RealSteelFabrications]

Man, your channel is going big! Rewatching the charger videos, and it still blows my mind how awesome this thing is!

[Skreamies]

Love seeing this pop up on Facebook, had to make my way here!

[arekay]

I would totally do this. But NH would have an absolute breakdown if I ever tried to register/inspect it 😂 I can only dream….

Awesome build. Looks great!

[JJ-mbkt]

You need to take this on a track some day.

[erickelchaer]

Man, it's ridiculously insane!! Love it. Excited to see what you gonna do to it. Greetings from Brazil by the way.

[straightlaced]

This thing is absolutely awesome! Great work! Such a cool project, congrats!

[wadehoffman]

Can you give a tips on buying a perimeter chassis? Look for the most complete chassis minus engine and trans? Ones around me are $4k minus eng and tran.

[jacemusgrove]

May still be a long way to go, but you've gotten far already! We'll done!

[highoctanegames]

Man I'd love to this race, the weight reduction on it is unreal and it's a legendary powerhouse 68 charger

[leoluna]

very cool
and the 69 daytona project is almost there?

[MuscleCityMadness]

Just discovered your channel man. Great Stuff. You going to "Roadkill" Duct Tape Drags in Tuscon in October?

[poly_g]

It looks like you got the engine behind the front axle too. Is this a front-mid engine car?
