Once again we work with Eric Brokmeyer Design for a rendering. 

This is what we started with for this resto mod build. It was a very nice driver.

This beautiful old car is going to get a very new face lift!

Disassembly includes removing the engine.

Full drive train is removed.

Overall this car is in good shape.

Standard bore 440 block engine will be used to build the new engine. 

The main car body is now set up on the fabrication table to ensure all work is level and square.

Metal work

Fabrication work always entails much designing, fitting, and welding work. 

Big Block Dodge will be fuel injected.

Test fitting new fenders and the front end.

Fitting the best and biggest combination for sizing and fitting new wheels and tires is more efficient with the right tools. 

WOW
The trans and drive shaft tunnel required just a little sheet metal-fabrication to allow clearance for the new build on the Modern Dukes Car. LOL

The floor modifications carry through to the rear allowing for the much lower ride height.
Note the inner tubes are narrowed by 3.5 inches each side.

Floor modifications continue.

Car is rolling so we took it outside to blow it off. A perfect chance to get a picture of this stage of the build. 

This is a modern version of a Duke's of Hazard Charger. At this point there have been many hours of fabrication/metal work to get the car sitting low with rear 20x12in wheels.

The conversion process is looking more complete with the headlight doors opening and closing.

Check out the long fenders!

Metal work to the rad support so it accomodates the coolers. 

Fitment and clearance must be verified at every stage of the build. 

WOW.

Mock up.

Test fit.

SMILE!

Doing a major change to the front end of any car involves overcoming many issues.

We want the end results to be a better fit and alignment.
