Finally someone doing it right, others I’ve seen they didn’t use the door vent windows and the doors didn’t look right and didn’t open basically just sheet metal with bracing behind it
I'm 33 now and I bought and started working on my first classic at 16. You have done a great job with creating another 69 charger and you should be extremely proud of your car and drive the wheels off it! I also did a body swap with a Studebaker onto a Dakota just like you have done and it's more intimidating than hard. Like you said almost anyone can build a car like this, just take the time and enjoy the project! Keep in mind that the hardest part of a build like this in only in your mind lol!
Congratulations! You did great work that you should be proud of!! I'm looking for a crown vic now, but the expensive part imo is going to be getting all the 69 charger metal from AMD!! Great job, and looking forward to seeing your build sheet!
@@TonysPlace I definitely recommend it! I’ll be uploading another video on where to start and how much you should save up before attempting the build! Stay tuned brother I look forward helping a few of ya build your very own on a trailer park budget!
Absolutely fantastic job on this car! As an old gearhead I salute you and give you a job well done brother! Hope and pray you’ve sorted out what you’re doing with your life. Blessings man!
I have been wondering what happened with your project. Great work! This is the best body swap Vic-Charger I have seen. You did a fantastic job positioning the panels and your wheel fitment is excellent. Most of these don’t get the body down far enough to cover the rockers and the wheels sit out too far. You should write a book. I’d buy it!
I salute u my friend. I scrapped 3 road runners and a 69 charger about 8 years ago. I never imagined people would build such seemingly destroyed cars if I had saved them I'd copy your build but with the wrecked 08 srt8 charger I have out back. I had a 69 sport satellite since I was 14 I'm 42 now I sold it 2 years ago and will never forgive myself. I'm on the hunt t now to build myself another sport satellite. My old one was all original 383 auto had slight rust around back glass but that was all the rust it had. It was a red car with what I thought was a previous black vinyl top. Days before I sold it I found out the vinyl top was actually white. I want another sport satellite or to talk the guy out of my old one (he refuses to sell it back even for 10k double what I let it go for) nobody knows what a sport satellite is that's why I want it back so bad. I had the car for years and decided it was holding me back because it was a constant reminder of what I hadn't done. I talked a big game for years without backing it up so the weight on me I thought would lift and I'd have a fresh start and it kinda did help me to let go. Now I am clear in the head and focused and can put myself into another car and hopefully I'll get my car back someday. I have dreams of me but older driving the car to a funeral as bad as that is its true its a reoccurring dream. It really confuses me having the dream 3 times the past 2 years but God will handle the hard stuff it's not my burden I just have to stay the course. I advise u to do the same. I was a mechanic at dealerships all that crap now I flip polaris rangers and old cars from home. I make more money than I ever did punching a time clock and I answer to myself God is my manager lol. I would advise u to do the same. Ur clearly a talented mechanic u can make a great living using the gifts u showed us in this video. U are your only limit my friend. God bless u and my hats off to u. I'm a 3rd generation mechanic and I've done this stuff since I could hold a wrench and I'm very impressed dude. Fantastic job. Keep it up. Make videos. U will be successful I can feel it. Trust in God he's always there to help just ask him. God bless u and have faith and confidence in you abilities my friend and u will be a success but more importantly u will be happy and that's what matters the other shit sorts itself out with age comes wisdom and with wisdom comes strength in ur gifts. Keep em coming brother. Great job. I'm seriously very impressed
Wow, those must have been pretty rough that you scrapped them. Pretty much anything with a title and a fender tag can be sold. People will rebody them .

What did you start with, a 68-70 coronet? I know the charger bodies are top dollar these days. Was all the door components (glass, vent windows, etc.) the same for a charger door? Can you list all the charger parts you needed to get to make the switch? I figure all the sheet metal but any small parts? Looking forward to seeing a video of you driving it around.
Majority of the panels are different from chargers and coronets. I have a 69 coronet and they’re up there in price too. Any b body is 10k minimum for a decent roller. Cool cars but definitely not worth what people are paying for them and fully restored it’s a fortune to do because parts are expensive. Luck and hard work you’ll make a profit or break even. Don’t get me wrong I love mine but i paid 3k as a complete and solid car with an extra 440 and 727 but even running and driving there’s no way that car is realistically 10k. People are just pricing themselves out of the market with their ridiculous pricing
You should probably go to a design school build up your resume an have a great future in the automotive industry. Your already smart an talented an your only 22 grow your skills an have a great future. Best of luck. Nice job
Very nice build, if you could change out the crown Vic dash with the original metal dash, I think it would almost pass as a real 69 Charger. Of course I'm sure its easier said than done.
Gotta say, that's one of the best looking Fords I've ever seen.
As a 22 year old with a crown Vic myself I reallllly want to do this now lol. Maybe one day. Badass project man
Awesome job young man, God has blessed you 😊

Thanks brother!

If I buy all my stuff from AMD could I just do this to my crown Vic. Could I still get it registered at the DMV. How much total did this cost you.

Hey, just wondering, is the wheelbase the same length? or you had to extend, shorten one of the cars??
Wheelbase was all good! No modifications required
Crown Victoria and Grand Marquis share the same frame/chassis/ motor etc. You started with a Grand Marquis pictures.
It’s easier to say crown Vic. Most people see a Mercury and still call it a Vic. But yes technically speaking it’s a mercury charger.
I found a shot 1970 cuda for 1500 near me...I wonder if I can do the same
Man go for it! Find something similar in wheelbase you can obtain and swap it out. The build sheet is in your brain brother!
Great work dude. How does it drive compared to an actual 69 charger?

EXCELLENT JOB 🤟🏻💯🤟🏻
Amazing work.
Thank you my friend!
Very commendable 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼
What they do for Duke's jump exhibitions. Real Chargers are just far too valuable now.
I need the whole underneath of a 68 to 70 b body . My 68 is gone . Do you still have the chassis ? And will you sell it ?
I do have a 68 b body chassis but unfortunately the floors aren’t that great
@@dirtcheapgarage2094 how are the frame rails and torsion bar crossmembers
