There is a thread floating around somewhere here with a link to a guy who did one with a Charger  Can't remember off hand where I saw the link though  I did a Camaro one, and it's the best of every world without a doubt and couldn't be happier with how it came out.

One of my club members is almost finished with his body swap. He's dropping a late 70s Magnum body on a Charger SRT-8 chassis.
The body is on and I think he's trying to get the little stuff finished now.
We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind.

I personally do not like how any of them have looked when done. The craftsmenship to do this is awesome but the whole offset, back spacing issue just does not look correct to me.

for the most part yes.. but look at the pic and link that "mr yuck" posted That one has the right stance, wheels that give the illusion of neg offset and even has a dash that's partially custom so it doesn't look like showroom new charger dash. many other 2nd gen chargers on the newer platform do look "wrong" but not that one.

That one on Mopar5150 is amazing....  I just dont care for the low profile tires...Rims are fine.....but it needs more sidewall

Nope, still don't like that one either. Mr Yuck's 70 on the other hand looks sweet.
Thanks, the rears on mine are 16x9 I think the sidewalls on the silver car are just a little short. If he had more meat they'd look better.

The guy I know dropping the Mirada CMX body on the SRT8 Magnum chassis had a concern about the Mirada body being 2" shorter in height than the LX. I guess you can paint it black and hope it's not an issue.
