A video collection of my last time driving it....
440 cid; '78 stock bore HD block, windage tray, high-volume oil and gas pumps, rebuilt bottom end with forged crankshaft and new bearings, Mopar Performance .509/292 camshaft, '915' cylinder heads; fully ported and polished, hardened seats, heavy duty valvesprings (supports up to .600 lift), adjustable rocker arms, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, Holley 850 mech. secondaries
A-833 4-speed Manual, Centerforce Dual-Friction Clutch/Pressure Plate, Hurst Competition Plus Shifter
This Charger has been converted for the four-speed. The tranny, shifter, clutch, flywheel, etc. are all from my old Charger. The floor hump still needs to be welded, but that can wait for now.
Stock 1968 Charger Mopar 8 3/4, stuffed with a 3.91 'Sure-Grip' pumpkin, and Moroso wheel studs. Suspended by Hemi leaf-springs.
The drivetrain, four speed set-up, and other parts came out of my old '68 Charger which was totalled by some moron. Some parts have been upgraded, such as the clutch/pressure plate.
Fiberglass Six-Pack Hood and Fenders
Six-Pack scoop on a fiberglass Charger hood. It's styled like the hoods used on the 69 1/2 440 Six-Pack Superbees and Roadrunners. I still have to finish it up, just a few little things left. The fiberglass are, well, fiberglass fenders!
The quarter panels and trunk are shot, but those can be replaced. I don't have the time or motivation to do it, either.
Oooops!!! (click on my link for what happens when you shear a few wheel studs off)

Old pics!
And how it looked when I first got it:
For our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world powers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavens (Ephesians 6:12).

What can I say? Black primer, slotted mags, and a stick shift!
The aluminum radiator, and the old ugly grill. With this radiator, the Charger never sees the high side of 180, even when the outside temps are 100+.
Big 11.75 disc brakes, the best OEM units I could fit on a '68 Charger. Originally from a '78 Chrysler New Yorker Wagon.
Slowly but surely, its coming along!
