Too subtle to really see without a stock car next to it, the Charger
has quarters widened 2.5" at the wheel, tapering all the way up thru the
door. Its biggest mod is the channel job that sets it 2.5" lower over
the front suspension and 3.5 inches lower in the rear. With a little bit
of extension to the rockers, it now sits just a tiny bit off the
ground, yet has full suspension travel and ride. An E body rear axle
pushes the 20x12" widened Centerlines out to the bulged fender lips and
opened-up outer wheel houses provide the travel space needed for the
tire. To finish it off, Cuda wheel openings were fitted in a raised
position to sleek out the body.
Of course, channeling a
car means lots of stuff moves from factory locations. When setting the
body lower over the front suspension, a side effect is that the engine
and trans, and the entire front frame section, are higher in the body.
New front floors were made, and new inner fenders alongside the engine.
Mods to the radiator support and bumper brackets were performed. In the
rear, spring boxes extend up into the trunk and under the rear seat. The
tranny tunnel and console are raised to clear the driveshaft, but the
seats remain in their stock location.
