    Its been a while since I logged on here, but I wanted to share some pics and details of a wide body Charger project we are currently working on.

    This is the first all metal wide body Charger done on the East Coast, and hopefully not the last. The car is getting 22x12 360 Forged rear wheels with huge Pirelli 335's. In addition we'll be shaving all the door handles and going with a hidden gas filler. After all the bodywork is done we'll be repainting the entire car in Chrysler Electric Blue Pearl with Flat Black accents.

    Here is a sneak peak of where we're at now

    WOW, it's Ernie. lol

    I really like the Wide Body Chargers. Looking pretty good so far, Ernie.

    Can't wait to see the finished product.

    Thanks for coming back (after ALL these years) and sharing the project.

    Now all we have to do is discuss you becoming a Vendor again. :wink:

    It has been a while since I've last updated this thread so let me bring everyone up to speed. 99% of the bodywork is done on the car and we willl be going for paint this week. The car will be unveiled at the Englishtown Raceway Dub Show on the 27th of this month.

    Here are a couple renders of how the car will look when done. The only change to the render is that we will be painting the middle of the roof and part of the hood flat black to better coordinate with the wheels. More photos of the entire build can be found on my website

    We started the paint edging last night. First up are the doors. This morning we'll be edging out the jams of the car and by tonight we'll be shooting the car itself. This car will be unveiled at the Dub show on the 27th of this month at the Etown Raceway

    In these photos you can see how we radically changed the footprint of the door when we made a wide body out of it
