This is my 1969 Dodge Charger. It was a complete wreck when I bought it. It took four years to bring it back from the dead.
Every aspect of this car has been considered. I built it with some very talented friends.
The passion and creativity in that garage rivaled anything I've seen in an ad agency.
The car looked like Swiss cheese when we stripped it down and cut out all the rust.
It was built from the ground up. Once all the sheet metal was repaired, it went to the body shop for the long process of straightening and prepping.
This is what the trunk looks like now. All the stereo equipment is bolted to a removable shelf.
I love the lines on this car.
It looks fast even when it's sitting still.
This is how the dash started out.
The gauges mimic the factory cluster.
Here's a shot of the finished dash.
The engine is a Chrysler 440. It generates around 500 horsepower.
This is John Hopper, the mastermind who made it all happen. He's a Raytheon engineer by day and a customizer by night.
John's aerospace touches can be found throughout the build. This shot was taken after an all-nighter.
This was a very proud and anticipated moment, mounting the license plate. On the road again, Finally.
The car's won a few awards and gotten magazine coverage, but it's not a show car. I built it to drive.
