They probably did the market analysis of who would buy their stuff and decided against making stock fitting Mopar stuff. Its much more profitable to leave it as is, call it all custom, and sell it at 2x pricing to special build projects to high end garages.

I should buy an early Camaro and convert it over to torsion bars and drop a 340 six-pack into it.




HA ! I would LOVE to see that!

Just had a look at the charger, the detail is incredible ! The dash alone is a work of art, and the suspension looks great.

Finally took some time to browse through all the pages today. Yes, the fabrication work is top notch and some of the details are impressive.

However....the front stub looks like basic F body fair with a few mods and their typical C6 Vette bolt on systems. This change resulted in a massive and extensive endo-skelton that tracks through out the car to restore the integrity to body to support the GM suspension systems while integrating a somewhat restored mopar floor.

Speaking of all the tubing running throughout the interior of the car, it obviously is put there for suspension support and asthetics since there are so many mid-line curves and untriangulated mid tube joints in it that it is definetely not being put together with serious competition in mind.

And, all that custom metal work and they leave the stock, angled wiper motor mount in the firewall...sorry, but with all the work in this thing you could have eliminated that obtuse angle and done loads for cleaning up the firewall.
