That's going to be a real hot rod when you two are done.. I don't what you been eating Liv, but you look Stunning today. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day.
That is exciting news for the 68 Charger! The suspension and 600 hp drive train is going to be fantastic and you will forget about driving your Chevies for awhile any way! Lol Keep us posted as you progress through this build!
Ahhh, the slippery slope of ‘just a driver’ to ‘road warrior’!!😀 With your’s and Danny’s strive for quality and taste, ‘a driver’ just ain’t gonna happen, sorry😂. The Charger is gonna be a fun car, enjoying watching the transformation. Thanks for taking the time to share it with us!✌️
i thought your sound and videos were ok before, now it really has improved i feel like im standing there with you, and this is going to be a cool build, great work.
Thanks for the encouragement James. We think we sound funny through the mics but this last video we are starting to get used to them. There are plenty of benefits to them 🤙
Well if it was myself, I would put in a mild roll cage in it, and then make the rear set area into a storage for your clothes and some food coolers for your road trips😊
I’m happy to hear of the new direction your going on this build. It’s an investment that you will have so much fun with and be able to drive it daily. That car is worth good money and god forbid you need to cash out on it you will get good money. Win win situation for you guys. Love your Chanel and your builds are awesome. I can’t wait !!
Looking at an earlier video of this car, where you drag raced the 56 and LeMans and then put the Charger up on the lift and evaluated it, just wanted to say this about the Charger. This has really good bones for a second Gen Charger. She’s so solid underneath compared to most project Chargers of this generation. Most of them have no rear frame rails or trunk floor left. The floor pans are always gone and the roofs are rotted away. I live in the rust belt and we don’t find many Charger projects here any more. So you have a great starting point. I see that you keep upgrading your goals on this car the longer you have it. That’s the right thing to do with it as it’s going to be worth the $ you invest in it!
You two are my heroes!! Love your videos, even though I first discovered your channel via tortuga!! ❤(vanlife) and old cars… two of my favorite things. Blessings to you both, much respect 🙏 Going all out!!
That's a SICK '68 Dodge !!!!! Love to see the '69 Camaro get some love parts videos!!!! It was hard at first seeing the New Subframe sink in to my eyes, I was falling in love with My dream Girl first . . . . . . '69 Camaro Content !!
Good luck with AMD- I’ve been waiting for them to get a few parts in stock for my ‘68 Charger…. and waiting, and yet more waiting…. I thought Covid was over…😉
We are slowly getting used to hearing ourselves through them travis. It's just so different sounding then we've been uses to. but we are definitely seeing the benefits. Thanks for the push 🤙
Great update on the Charger. I definitely agree on using the new QA1 system I have owned 3 Mopars and I wish I had that because I broke my knuckles putting in the headers and starter.
👍 Great project and if it helps try Chris Birdsong of junkerup he might have extra parts, in a recent video he did buy some 68 charger grills. Never know 🙂
When you gonna jump it??? Kidding! I'm so glad to see another being saved. One of my favorite cars of all time and too many have been destroyed for stupid reasons.
Great Upgrades For The Charger.. Should be lots of fun.. As far as the old truck on the side of the road?? Looking at the inside of the cab.. Tells me 1960-63.. You asked what the rear axle was.. 3/4 ton HO72.. :)
Do you guys have any experience with 3M body panel adhesive ? They make a special tool that will grip the edge of a panel, then the none crimped side of the seam just sits in flush. They say the adhesive is stronger than a weld, and easier to glaze over. Never used it myself, but it looks interesting.
It's getting there! Can I just make a small suggestion and that is the oil pan. I had a giant 7 quart gold milodon pan on my 69 charger with a 440. I ended up going with a stockish 5 qtr pan cause a kept bottoming out in the road especially since you are using the mustang II drop spindles. Just putting that out there
This project is going to be badass! Are you doing the US Car Tool chassis upgrades? I would recommend, since the weight of the car, is now going to be ahead of the firewall, instead of distributed under the car? Keep up the great vids!
Must be nice to have Big Name Companies giving new parts for everything. Just gotta say they're name a lot. Us poor Bastards gotta save for years to get stuff. That's why alot of projects get unfinished.
While neat to look at, I can not justify the $10k or more the whole set up costs. Want to make it handle? Look up Rick Ehrenberg's old tech articles on how to improve & maximize the stock set up. Firm Feel makes some very good pieces as well. Chris Birdsong did a very funny episode of how a lot of aftermarket stuff is big $, marginal at best. And parts? Where would you get parts if stuff breaks out on the road? You can't.
FYI nothing really bolts on and stays true, especially front ends with heavy driving. With the BIG block you're adding a lot of extra weight and pushing the flexibility of steering, get advice on reinforcement, or else your going to have a nice ride that is going to sit more than a reliable everyday driver anymore. Have a buddy who dropped in a M408-HR-TK-S on a 74 Cuda 480HP @4500rpm Small block, and a dream to drive. It's looking good though you must be psyched...Nice.
Groovy man! And did you know the 383 b block is standard, but the 383 RB block means, raised block so the 440 piston rods can be used longer than the the standard 383, and has more than the hemi engine, that's why more was sold. And the original suspension with rack-in-pinon was a mustang2.
What type of racing do you plan on doing. Autocross, drifting, drag , or all of above because it seems like your building a hundred thousand dollar or more restro mod. In the beginning it sounded like you were going to make it a dirt track car 😂😂😂
God only knows what color you are going to paint the charger, I would do Malibu blue with white interior, that's just my opinion, have fun with your car's guy's, Adios for now add surf's up!!!!!

Holy Krap! Just a 440 Stroker, he said. 😂 600 🐎's 😯 That Charger will be Bad to the Bone! Very exciting! Gnarly stuff coming for the 68! 😎
The new mics sound fantastic! Looking forward to the video's as you build the Charger. Glad you are going all out with the Charger build.
Thanks. They we are slowly starting to get used to them. Thanks for tuning in 🤙
Wow that's beautiful....and so is the car. Had a 69 charger back in the day and I loved it
Fun build! Can’t wait to follow the progress
I can't wait to see this build. It's also so cool to hear about these after-market options.
That's going to be a real hot rod when you two are done.. I don't what you been eating Liv, but you look Stunning today. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day.

She's gonna be awesome! Was disappointed when you said that you decided not to go with the 440 but relieved when you said stroker!
That’s gonna be an awesome ride!Love it,following your progress closely.

I put an Alterkation suspension in my Cuda.....amazing difference 👍
Well if it was myself, I would put in a mild roll cage in it, and then make the rear set area into a storage for your clothes and some food coolers for your road trips😊
Restomod Time! That thing is going to drive fantastic!

your so lucky to have gotten a dodge charger !
I can’t wait before the Charger is ready
Cool Danny and Olivia! My ranger has a 545 BBF Aluminum heads and a Howards .800 roller cam.
Gonna be great build. That grill center piece is 69 only , for 68 you have to replace the whole grill.
It's going to be REALLY NICE! I love the 68-70 Chargers!
- Thanks for using the microphones! 👍

Very happy your stepping up ...its a mopar she is worth it 👍
Great job so much fun watching you build a great 🚗
Very Cool! Looking forward to seeing this build!!
Wow what a transformation so quickly nice job
Nice bild✌️ look forward to see it when you guys finished ♥️💪 by the way your boots are awesome 👍
The Charger build is looking good! Awesome work!
Thanks Paul 🤙
Sweet build
The sound is SO much better now!!
Sounds good,can't wait to see it done ❤Love Jim J&R mobile service
Love this Project But now ya Gotta do the Cuda with all QA1 But Put you a Late Model Blown Hemi In it With a STICK Yeah Baby Yeah
👍 Great project and if it helps try Chris Birdsong of junkerup he might have extra parts, in a recent video he did buy some 68 charger grills. Never know 🙂
Ditto, hit up Chris Birdsong. Another General Lee? In Cali forn i A? 🤔 🤣
When you gonna jump it???
Kidding! I'm so glad to see another being saved. One of my favorite cars of all time and too many have been destroyed for stupid reasons.
I spy a wooden sign....does that mean....sanchez time? LOL!
Haha, good eyes 👀

AWESOME so sweet for any MOPAR, but, out of my price range for my clsssic challenger....MOPAR 4 EVER.
Looks like it'll be a real Charger!
It's getting there! Can I just make a small suggestion and that is the oil pan. I had a giant 7 quart gold milodon pan on my 69 charger with a 440. I ended up going with a stockish 5 qtr pan cause a kept bottoming out in the road especially since you are using the mustang II drop spindles. Just putting that out there
This is very true ...I did the same thing
Just rechrome rear bumper.. they'll straighten before chrome. Asid see from that, new bumpers aren't the same as original equipment.
I have a 69 big block bone stock. There's no doubt it drifts left and right when driving it, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
Nice pieces 👌
Real gnarly guys there's there's no replacement for displacement
This project is going to be badass! Are you doing the US Car Tool chassis upgrades? I would recommend, since the weight of the car, is now going to be ahead of the firewall, instead of distributed under the car? Keep up the great vids!
Hi yes, how much is a oil change ?
Have you talked with Chris Birdsong or Dulsich about body parts?
Must be nice to have Big Name Companies giving new parts for everything. Just gotta say they're name a lot. Us poor Bastards gotta save for years to get stuff. That's why alot of projects get unfinished.
Nice car an show thanks

Chris Birdsong did a very funny episode of how a lot of aftermarket stuff is big $, marginal at best. And parts? Where would you get parts if stuff breaks out on the road?
You can't.
I'm not familiar with older cars, what do they normally use instead of rack and pinion?
Recirculating ball gear box.
That's guna make it really nice you too hey hope you have a great Halloween 💗👻🤘
Yall can try mopar restos for your grill bumper etc he's a killer dude and has lots of stuff
It's going to be nice once finished. But how can yall afford all those cars and the rebuilds so quickly 👍
nice.. hemi?? Guess not 426 but this new idea sounds great.
Great video, can't wait to see it finished, did you ever consider a 6 pack intake and carbs on that big block ❤❤
I’ve done that and would just keep the stock suspension ,save your $$ and put it elsewhere I actually liked the stock better. To each their own ✌🏻
When are guys coming over to Bakersfield
We will be there tomorrow morning in big wave. Hitting the track for a 12
So who is the AMD you guys are talking about?
Great video as always
Try contacting Chris Birdsong for your grill. If he does not have one he knows where to get one.
The Charger is going to be fast and have a nice ride when it is all done. 6 speed automatic will be easy to drive.
If your going to do abig block and a manual i'm going to recommend a MOSER DANA 60 they are bullet proof.
Try. Poor boys garage. At North Carolina. They should have the parts you need... Lon from Ohio...

Better think bout a roll cage in that unibody if your gonna put six hundred horse power in it
It's on the list 👍 As well as the subframe kit
Groovy man! And did you know the 383 b block is standard, but the 383 RB block means, raised block so the 440 piston rods can be used longer than the the standard 383, and has more than the hemi engine, that's why more was sold.
And the original suspension with rack-in-pinon was a mustang2.
I'll look around for the grill.
Nice sauna black pain
I have an extra complete grill assy for a 68 Charger. Let me know if you still need one.
Yes! Could you please email me photos and price: Olivia.scaffidi@gmail.com
I sent you an email yesterday. 😊
You should hit up Chris birdsong to see if he can help you out with bumpers and a grill,I think he's the charger king lol.
Junkerup👌
The car is designed to support the weight torsionally, from the torsion mounts.
I just can't see what holds it up
We agree. We have plans for re-enforcements. Just one step at a time.
If you can put a Red eye Engine...nice
Great year, make and model do it right be worth BooKoo!
Get somebody that can rebuild a 727 built the right way is bulletproof I had a few 1968 and 1969 Dodge chargers with 440 and 727 automatic
I have an original 68 grille if you’re interested
727 is not junk you can build them for 1000hp 518 48re is just update 727 if I was around would lead the joints for you
I hope you find a '68 passenger side front fender.....what's on there is a '69.
I have a Brand New Bumper that I didn't use for a project. Let me know if you still need one.
Hey looking great, the "Charger" looks good to. AMD has your front bumper and mounts. Thx.
What type of racing do you plan on doing. Autocross, drifting, drag , or all of above because it seems like your building a hundred thousand dollar or more restro mod. In the beginning it sounded like you were going to make it a dirt track car 😂😂😂
God only knows what color you are going to paint the charger, I would do Malibu blue with white interior, that's just my opinion, have fun with your car's guy's, Adios for now add surf's up!!!!!
👍👍👍👍
👍🏾
👍👍😎
SEMA 2024????
i just watched a video from dip my car that has the blackest color tint a,hve ever seen.you said you wanted to go black ,this looks like a black hole
😪
Not resto, do a partial resto and perf mods. If not just climb in thru the windows and paint a confederate flag on the roof. No , don't do that.
that cars is going too be amazing once you guys are done !!! good luck
Thanks 🤙
Sell me that notchback barracuda!
Great year, make and model do it right be worth BooKoo!
