I got half way thru the same build but the fast 5 charger and got sick, lost income and never finished...Now disabled due to the illness and covid i'll never finish. i'm glad to see someone actually made one with a real working blower. Just beautiful. Y'all are awesome!!!
That's awful you're been stopped from building your Charger. But we are thankful you're appreciative of our build.
Its been a tough pill to swallow for sure. I've always had race cars and now just a dream... Cant wait to see the rest@@JustDriven
@@ionracer3284 😂 🧢
@@JustDrivenhe's clearly cappin 😂 just seeking attention
@@bro89174how do you know ? don’t be so quick to judge. This guy just might be telling the truth if he isn’t than shame on him
I love how instead of arguing at each other everyone argues with each other. It’s like butting heads together to fix instead of butting heads to be right. Great team work!
Thank you! We respect each other. That plays a huge part.
Finally, an true faithful recreation of the legendary Charger.
So many get it wrong with the wrong wheels, supercharger, window tint, ride height etc. This ticks all the boxes. Every detail is spot on.
Your attention to detail does not go unnoticed. Truly remarkable work!
Almost, it didn't make enough torque to twist the chasis
Thank you so much for the support! We took some liberties with the interior but tried to remain faithful to the characters.
@bodybong - it made 942 lbs of torque and definitely twisted the chassis. You should check out our dyno video.
35:57
"So much torque the chassis twisted coming off the line"
i guess it did twist
Everyone assumed it was just a throw-a-way line. Guess it wasn't!
This was sooo damn satisfying to watch! Thanks guys for sharing this great project with the rest of us.
Thank you for the support!
2:33 in the video is the best sight!
It gave me chills!
As bad ass as the Supra.
I love them both!
Great job JD!!
Thank you so much for your support! We're glad the excitement we feel on a regular basis is coming through in the videos.
I’ve been following along since the Supra. Such great content. I can’t wait to see them both finished, side by side!!!
We are still debating the which one would win in a drag race. It's going to be awesome seeing them side-by-side all finished.
@@JustDriven my money is on the charger based on the teaser dyno run! Either way, it’s going to be amazing. Keep up the awesome work!
See? The debate continues!
So sweet. Some people don’t understand how much goes into these builds. I’m putting a 540 Aluminum block from Indy racing w 871 blower on my 70 Charger. @x_american_made_x
@@adamglasby8176 Out of curiosity how long is the blower snout on your 440. I like the look of the closed face pulley.
amazing car, video, work, everything, cheers from Mexico, i love how you take time to answer everyone, that talks a lot of you
Thank you for your support. We do our best to share our passion with the community.
I've been following this build along with the Supra. Some truly amazing things y'all have done with both of these builds! Looking forward to the dyno video.
Thank you Mark! We hope to have the video up soon. Just trying to race to get Adrian's side of the shop to the new location, so lots going on and not enough time to film!
@@JustDriven take all the time y’all need 👍
Outstanding job, so many memories, just love it👍many thanks 👊
Thank you so much for watching!
Will this survive driving down a dam?
How fast we talkin'?

El Dodge Charger es toda una leyenda!!! Puro poder Felicitaciones por el excelente trabajo Saludos desde Argentina
¡Hola! Gracias por el apoyo. ¡Alex y Adrián son de Argentina! ¡Envían su agradecimiento por la vista y la suscripción!
Been a car guy and built cars my whole adult life. @18:19 - 19:48 is about the coolest sequence you can ask for.
You should check out our latest dyno session video. That's pretty awesome too.
Wow instant subscribe. You guys put so much effort in your cars and your content and it really shows. What a piece of art 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much for your support! We hope to continue to impress you.
Great build guys, hopefully we see a similar quality build on the Eclipse! lets not forget that car was also a major part of the film!
The budget for the Eclipse, unfortunately, is not quite the same as the Supra and Charger. The Eclipse is being built for a charity who supports Veterans.
Freakin' love this! Great job, guys.
Thank you!
Stunning! Speechless! Thanks for creating this. Greetings from Argentina ❤
Hello! Thank you for your kind words.
This is awesome. I really appreciate you guys showing the good with the not so good. This is the reality of working on these machines but with determination you guys built an awesome machine! 👍 ❤
Thank you so much! It's not always smooth business. Social media has everyone thinking everything is perfection.
@@JustDriven absolutely and if one hasn't done a build before and have only seen the finished product, they can not truly appreciate what goes into this. Putting an engine in, then finding out it needs to come out or be completely replaced is a bit crushing. Social media isn't always real life, in fact it's becoming more rare to see real life. Everyone just wants to see the good but sharing the bad is one of the best things you can do! It is very helpful actually.
You are 100% correct. In our dyno video we discovered a truly alarming missing piece to our puzzle. We took what was said in that video to heart and disassembled the blower again to add the recommended part. We learned something new that day. Now the build is better for it!
If you have some time go check out the dyno day video of the Toretto Charger on our channel. Let us know what you think.
Do you guys do commissions/contracts, like could someone send you their car for a price and have stuff they want done to it by you guys?
We sometimes take on commission work depending on the job. If you have something in mind feel free to email us at info at justdriven or DM us on IG @justdriven
You guys should recreate the ice charger dom fast 8
That Charger is so awesome!
Imagine both vin diesel and paul walker came to your garage and admired these two masterpieces, you guys. Just Driven, you all made my day a whole lot better.
Heck yah! Thank you so much!
Amazing and beautiful work, guys!!!
Thank you so much for the support!
Always wanted a 70 charger. Hopefully, one day, get one, but hands down, the 70 chargers are the most badass among the charger or all muscle cars such a georgous car with that sleek front end
We can't argue with you on that. It really is a beautiful machine.
An American Icon for muscle cars turn into a fast and furious icon at the same time? Wow, nice job. I’m sure that took time and dedication to complete that
Thank you so much!
If you guys start narrating the parts we're reading, you'll almost certainly see positive spikes in your channel performance. These are amazing builds and all that time spent wrenching leaves less time for edits, but if there's a min or two here and there, I think it'd be worth it. Thanks for the awesome content.
We appreciate the tip. We don't always have the time to add dialog or narration to the build videos. We are working on finding new avenues to getting the content out faster, but we are still playing catchup with our new shop.
I always loved the old dodge charger its such a classic
It really is.
Wow guys that's such a great job 👏 awesome i like every single detail on this car guys keep going 🙏 we need to see more art's like that ❤
Thank you so much! We appreciate the support.
Design-wise - PERFECTION!!!!!!
Thank you!
Amazing job, the amount of time and effort put into this build is mind numbing! One thing that caught my eye: in 18:28 you can see the spark plug wires go to the back of the engine, but in your build the distributor is in the front. Googling didn't give me a solid answer, seems they all have the front distributor. Was it movie magic / prop maybe?
The distributor is in the back of the engine on this aluminum block 572.
Que hermoso trabajo, bellísimo quedó ❤😊
Muchas gracias por las palabras amables.
NO cap My daddy left me a 70 CHARGER 440 MAG in his will I cant wait to start working on it!! I came home in that car in 1976 my dream build SO EXCITED!!! If i have to turn every screw my self I will. In time LAW will be restored!!!
That will be a fun project for you! Maybe you and your dad could work on it together?
@JustDriven
bro his dad is not here😢
Got this at 1995 for my dad now its 2024 still runs like butter🤘🏼
Heck yah!
Thank you I am saving this as as i've always wanted to do something similar, but I am curious as a beginner where do you start gaining experience in restorations, specifically rust repair and body work?
For Joe (our body guy) it started learning from others. Then he apprenticed with an experienced body guy and learned all he could before meeting Daryl. He was trusted with so many wonderful jobs and experience and just kept growing. So we would suggest watch and learn on TH-cam and seek out schooling or a bodyshop looking for an apprentice.
@@JustDrivenIF I HAD THIS CAR I WOULD DEFINITELY RESTORE IT.
Oddly enough, it's worth more like this than it is restored. Sad. But true.

@JustDriven REALLY EVEN IF IT WAS A HEMI CAR LOL THERE WORTH WHAT A HALF A MILLION BUCKS LOL I AM A MUSTANG GUY I KNOW A LOT ABOUT THE HISTORY OF MUSTANGS ESPECIALLY MY SUPER SNAKES AND MY GT500 AND MY COBRAS BUT MOPAR NOT SO MUCH.
Worth watching every minute of it ❤,love from india 🇮🇳
Thank you so much for the support!
Wow, insane amount of work!
Greetings from Ukraine, good luck with new builds! :)
Thank you so much for your support!
Very faithful recreation of the original Toretto Charger but that Bullitt Charger speaks to me in more ways than one. 😎
Our Bullitt Charger was a fun one. Nice and clean and simple. All the right stuff.
@@JustDriven it was great to see it built. Next up, how about a Dirty Mary Crazy Larry Charger? 😎
Chargers are getting very difficult to acquire. We love the idea though!
@@JustDriven I know. I have a bone stock 74 Charger (3rd gen) that was a popular body style in NASCAR but not on the street. Very slippery aero-wise vs. the 2nd gen (hence why Dodge made the Daytona which ultimately got banned). 3rd gens are hard to come by, too, because most just rusted away and they weren't made popular in TV or movies.
I've been following this build along with the supra. And i love that charger he screams like a monster
This Charger is a BEAST.
A 36 minute video doesn't do this build justice. That charger is amazing because black is the most unforgiving color. And moving the engine and driveline 1.5 inches may not seem like a big deal but that couldn't have been easy. I am finally caught up on most of your content. Can't wait to see the Kenmari finished as well. The supra with Craig is top notch. He was right the wheel fitment definitely needed fixed lol. Keep the great content coming.
Wow! Thank you so much for your support. We appreciate you appreciating us. You are not wrong about the black color and the driveline movement, but that's all part of doing what we do: the Pursuit of Perfection.
one of my dream cars along with 68 charger hellifant and 68ish SS Chevelle
We love this Charger!
@@JustDriven badass ride
Yo this s*** is amazing it's the best recreation I've seen yet and I've seen over 14
Thank you so much!
Guys, this should be x-rated!! What a phenomenal build! I was 13yo when F&F came out and to me this build is as good as it gets and like the pinnacle of manliness. I'll probably not be able to afford this car in my lifetime, so im glad to live the dream through your eyes. Again; amazing build and what a talented team... you just got an extra subscriber! Greetings from The Netherlands.
Thank you so much for the support! The Charger does ooze masculine energy! They are so badass!
Wow, that looks amazing. It's my dream to have a car like that. And pretend like we're still living in the 80s. Now, what was the problem with the engine??
Why the 80s? The engine builder accidentally installed head gaskets for a steel block and not the aluminum one we are running. Once we figured it out we contacted them and they asked for the engine back to remedy the issue. We took the down time to correct some little issues we had with the body and when we got the engine back we hooked everything back up and burned up the dyno!
@JustDriven Because I just love the 80s. And in that time, these cars were very cheap.
And i bet that was a Difficult problem to find.
They are not easy to find and parts are just difficult if not impossible.
this channel deserve more subs
Thank you so much! We don't mind you spreading the word!
Theres a 5.9mm gap in the front window i guess btw nice build 🎉cheers
Say what now?
Thank you for this wonderful video, it is so gratifying to see a project like this being shared, congratulations to everyone, success always 😊
Thank you so much for your kind words!
What's the song from 0:35 ? Also, amazing job, guys. You nailed it ❤
The Star Slowly Fades by Of Water. And thanks for the support.
you guys should do tutorials for the interior too ive been looking to learn how to do that for a while
In early videos we have some more in-depth talk with Richard at BSide Fabrication the man behind the craft. Not on any tutorial level but maybe a little more insight.
This was so cool to watch, I hope one day I get to put time and work into a classic car like this. Literally one of my dream cars
Awesome! Thank you so much for the support.
"We identified some rust" LMAO, anyway, thumbs up! Great job!
Yah. We did. It was right there. And there. And there too. 🤣 Thanks for the support!
15:00 minutes in and having the time of my life !! Great vid, thus far !
Heck yeah! Thank you for watching.
What a dream that would be I've always wanted a 68 to 70 dodge charger very sweet car love it
It's really a beautiful machine.
As I work on my 70 Charger R/T, its crazy to see some of the minor differences that you guys have done to this that really make the end result come together. I'm curious, why not remove the wiper motor and brake booster when painting?
We have tried really hard to make this as civilized as possible for street use. We had plans of taking this to cars and coffee events without a trailer.
14:39 "This is Senator Hotchkiss. Yeah, somebody just stole my car!"
huh?
@@JustDriven movie scene when Vin Diesel as Xander Cage in the 1st Triple X film (when he borrowed the red Corvette)
This kind of dedication when restoring a car deserves props
Thank you so much!
What I wouldn’t give for the charger, the first one has always been my favorite of the franchise ❤❤
Is that my dually in the dyno shop???😂
The first one holds a special place in many people's hearts. It obviously affected us as well. We wanted to highlight the cars that started it all for many people. We just wanted to add our special sauce and correct some of the "flaws"
stunning job personally i don't like the blower or the stance but when ever i sprayed black i would always gun finish but then you are perfect and have a unlimited budget thank you
Thank you?
My dream car...
NO NOT BECAUSE OF VIN DIESEL Lol
Just a beautiful Dodge charger man...
You don't have to lie. It's cuz of Vinnie D.
Just playin'. We appreciate the love for the build.
@@JustDriven OKAY ITS CUS OF VINNIE D!! LOL have a great day BUD
This is a beautiful car. It's a pity I can't see this kind of car in China
You'll have to come visit us in the United States so you can catch a glimpse of it.
The hardest color to do, and y’all made it flawless, three words BEAU TI FUL
Your three words are music to our ears!
I'm heartbroken.. I'll never own one!!! Kudos to you all, amazing build.
The Charger and the Supra are becoming very hard to find. Even the example we found was not in very great condition.
Awesome build and fantastic work! Nice job! What ac pump is that? I'd like to do a similar setup
Thank you so much! We found this AC pump on eBay. It is a non name brand pump. We've used them on several builds and all still blowin' cold.
I was waiting this vidéo ❤
We hope you liked it!
Oh guy's thanks for this awesome video ❤!
Thank you for watching and for your support.
My father and I ran into some of the same problems, this video brought back some flashbacks with watching it.
Oh no! Sorry, you guys ran into similar issues. We finally sorted ours out and hope you did too.
@JustDriven thanks but eventually I found out my 68 gen 2 block was cracked
Ouch. Sorry to hear.
@@JustDriven thanks bud
Minus we’ll do Dons Rx7 next lol AWESOME builds/videos fellas😎🤙
We love that RX7. It would be a fun build.
Hats off to you legends you have recreated the legendary pieces 🥳 I am a biggest fan of Torreto's Charger🥶🥵
Thank you so much for your support!
i really like your car connet i appreciate your work and i am also a car lover
Thank you for your support!
Who needs physics when you have family?
Exactly.
Good
A work of art in the making 🎉
Thank you for saying so!
Very cool, man! I'm really interested to know if I bring you my 70 Charger, how much will it cost to convert it into a Fast And Furious car (like car in this video)?
If you are interested in finding out more about having us do a conversion for you please email us at info @ justdriven.com (no spaces)
Wow, what a beautiful thing, man, it's my dream to have one of these or even see it, damn it, and I'm also a fan of fast and furious, what a cool thing
Thank you for the kind words!
@@JustDriven You're welcome, my friend
สุดยอดไปเลยครับ🤟😍 อยากได้สักรถในฝัน🥰
ขอบคุณมาก เราเคยใช้รถรุ่น Chargers รุ่นนี้มาหลายคันแล้วในช่วงหลายปีที่ผ่านมา และมันสนุกมาก! หวังว่าสักวันหนึ่งคุณจะได้เป็นเจ้าของสักคัน
That is without question the best paint job I've ever seen.
Heck yah! Thank you!
It´s an amazing car no doubt and wich someday i can own one of those badboys but just a quick question why change to EFI when those engines and blowers sound amazing with carburator, just a personal tought, but once again amazing car and amazing crew working on it
We were trying to pile on modern technologies for this build. Ultimately, we relied heavily on the engine builder, and maybe shouldn't have? Keep an eye out for an update on this build coming soon for more on this.
@@JustDriven you bet I will
Epic charger amazing build the car is show and go!
Thank you so much!
I am so jealous. This blows my mind you guys rock.
Thank you so much!
Awesome build 👌
Thank you so much!
That's really a cool car. Is it EFI and you also put port injection?
No, it is an EFI with a BDS injector plate.
@@JustDriven Awesome, thank you!
Does the bug catcher open and close in applying the throttle or is it just for show?
Everything works as it should, including the buzzard catcher.
What suspension kit are you guys running? I’m assuming the rear end is built but will you have to do any further tweaks to the suspension if the torque twists the chassis?
The rear is Calvert Racing Caltracs traction bars and leaf springs with CR Series adjustable rear shocks and CF series front shocks.
Nice restoration
Thank you so much!
Props for this guy for building this in just 36 mins
It took years of practice but we finally got it under 40 mins.
song at 1:43 please
also so If I want a blower set up for a 1970 Charger as Ive wanted Hawaii racing is it?
Not sure we understand your question. Then song is: Speed Devil by Under Earth.
@@JustDriven gray-cias. as for the question I was wondering if i want a killer blower setup for my mopar, Hawaii racing is the way to go?
That is a loaded question actually. They are a great source for off the wall parts and builds. We think it might be too much to ask for a full ground up build like ours.
Could not help the goosebumps watching this video. 🎉
Awesome! Mission accomplished.
awesome, even you make the BOLT is shinning 😅😅
We try to make it look and sound pretty!
Vin Diesel: Wow this is wild!
Thanks Vin!
💪🏻🙌🏻💯
🤘🏼🤘🏼
Love the work, my dream car
Thank you for the support.
one of the meanest looking cars. that sound is straight from hell
But the good kind of hell right? With the pretty girls and the bada** cars?
Awesome vid
Thanks!
Очень круто получилось воссоздать этот легендарный автомобиль!
Спасибо! Нам было очень весело пытаться довести эту идею до конца и создать идеальную версию этого зарядного устройства.
@@JustDriven We have a lot of fans of the first parts of Fast and Furious in Russia, and some also tried to recreate cars from films, there were cool projects Supra mk4, Eclipse, Skyline GTR R34, but nobody brought Charger 70s :)
@@JustDriven These engines of muscle-cars resemble the gasoline engines of the Soviet ZiL-130 & 131 trucks
Are vehicles like the Charger harder to find in Russia? And we really like the Soviet ZiL-130s that are converted to low-rider trucks. So cool!
@@JustDriven Yes, you need to look for them in the States themselves, and it seems to me that recently even you have found it difficult to find a copy of this car in a fairly satisfactory technical condition. + In recent years, we simply do not bring cars that are older than a certain year of production and do not meet the environmental standards that exist at present. But no electric car will deliver as much fun - as a car with a powerful V8 or V12 😎
Nice Car!😨😱🛫🛫🛫❤❤❤🕡🕝
Thanks!

Oh Lord that sound....
So good.

"cars like these are eternal..you take care of them..they ll run forever."
That's the exact definition of eternal actually.
Impressive work sir, but it need one more touch....FAMILY 🤣🤣🤣🤣
With everyone here at the shop it sort of has the "family" part of it.
No disrespect to anybody but I am genuinely curious. How is there issues already with a brand new engine? Or was that engine rebuilt with brand new parts? One of the guys said it had water or leaking water even tho nothing was put in the engine yet but oil i think? Just eager to learn how and why in greater detail.
The engine builder accidentally installed head gaskets for a steel engine block and not the aluminum block we had. It created the issues we were experiencing. We removed the engine and sent it back to the builder for them to check everything over and install the new head gaskets. This time we asked them to run the engine and check everything over before we install it.
