Features:
This 1969 Dodge Charger is inspired by RTR 68 Charger built by Johan Ericksson in Sweden poweredbyjohan on Instagram and by th Maximus 68 Charger built by Tom Nelson at Nelson Racing Engines out of Chatsworth California.
I chose Neil at B&N Hotrods in Maple Ridge, British Columbia, Canada because of their high quality of builds that I have seen. I knew they were to ones to build it because of their attention to detail in their builds. Having traveled to Utah to see Dave Kindig of KINDIG-It DESIGNS, also from the T V show Bitchin Rides, I knew I wanted more than just a Hotrod, I wanted a one of a kind Hotrod/Show car.
Everything on this car is and will be custom, but it will still be a Dodge Charger at first glance, The heavy lifting work is done on the car with all the body metal work 90% finished and the metal work inside, ie: floors and so on being ready for final fit. There are a ton of parts for the car that come with it as I have purchased a lot and basically the car is at the stage of final assembly and Paint and interior.
I realize for the car to get to the finish line and be what it is intended to be, I must allow someone else to get it to its final destination as probably one of the nicest chargers ever built. I would suggest getting the car completed by Neil and his crew at B&N Hotrods as he already has the vision to make this car what it should be. His contact info can be requested by any serious inquiries on the car.
Chassis
The body is sitting on an Art Morrison custom muscle car chassis, specially built by Morrison to handle the immense power this car will generate. With fully independent rear suspension which includes a Dana 60 with 4:10 gears. Rear brakes are 14.25”- 4 piston Wilwood disks with Pirelli 405/25/R24 P zero tires on 24”x 15” Foose Knuckle Rims. The front suspension is Morrison’s custom upper and lower control arms with ZR1 Corvette hub assembly and spindles, again with Wilwood 15”- 6 piston discs with Pirelli 265/30/R22 P Zero tires on 22’ X 9” Foose Knuckle rims. This chassis set up is one of a kind and every detail has been considered for ultimate handling and ride performance.
Engine
Twin turbo 572 all Aluminum HEMI built by Nelson Racing Motors out of Chatsworth CA. Currently set up for break in tune at 1005 hp and 924 ft lbs torque at 6 psi of boost. Last dyno pull reached 1731 hp and 1494 ft lbs torque at 19 psi of boost. Engine is currently set up with four different tunes starting at 1005hp up to 1731hp, four separate tunes at the turn of a tune setting key. Engine is fully capable of 2500 – 3000hp and max boost of 40 psi. Transmission is an American Power Train T56Magnum 6 speed manual with cryogenically hardened gears. In a conversation with Tom Nelson, he told me that this is the newest version of the 572 twin Turbo Hemi and has all the newest upgrades and modifications and in his words “the best Hemi he has built to date” An upgrade from the motor in the 68 Charger called Maximus, built by Nelson Racing engines.
Engine and transmission were installed by B & N Hotrods out of Maple Ridge, British Columbia, Canada. B & N has done all the work on the car to date and are doing amazing work with this car. Neil at B & N has spent time at Nelson Racing while the motor was on the dyno.
Rust Free
There is absolutely no rust on the car as it has a new and complete chassis. The body was stripped down to bare metal and all unsatisfactory body panels have been replaced, starting with the rear quarters, the corner caps which normally bolt on, have been properly welded on to the rear corners so there is no longer any seam for a smother look. The trunk lid has also been replaced with a new one. One door needed to be replaced as it was not up to quality standards as well as one front fender. The rockers on both sides are new. All flooring including the trunk is new custom fabrication from B & N Hotrods as required with the new chassis from Art Morrison. The metal work is of the highest quality workmanship and after four tours of the custom car builder Dave Kindig of the TV show Bitchin Rides shop, the work from B & N is on par with that same quality.
