Currently struggling to get my D/BFMMP S10 out the door. Hoping to have it ready for El Mirage in N/A config just to get some seat time and club points

So, my plan was to have my Charger ready but it looks like it will be 2025.  1968 Dodge Charger getting converted to a C500.  Big block, 4spd.  Low budget garage built by myself.  All the pics I have are too large apparently.

I'm a retired Street Roadster guy -- but . . .

In your class can you have a co-pilot?

. . . and is resizing and repositioning the back window legal?

Hi, I have no idea on a co-pilot.  I plan to also use this on the street, hence the passenger seat.  As for thr back window, I am converting the Charger to a Charger 500.  Production car that came between the Charger and the Daytona.  More flush grill and the flush back window.  I don't plan for records, just to go and try out a dream.

That'll work.  Just didn't want you to show up and ruin a dream.

Where did that window come from?? Vega?..And will you be shortening the trunk lid as well? Carry on. JB
I`d never advocate drugs,alcohol,violence or insanity to anyone...But they work for me.

Yes this is a Vega rear hatch modified to fit.  The trunk lid is already shortened to the appropriate length.  Seems the most common way to clone the C500 or Daytona.  Followed the advice given on Dodgecharger.com

Nice car - I like the work on the car - Are the B'Ville rules going to allow a Chevy deck lid on a Dodge?

Actually no rule prevents him from entering in Production or Modified... but they probably prevent him from setting a record...

It is the most common way to build the rear window plug.  The dimensions are almost identical and the biggest difference is the radius of the window corners are backwards top versus bottom.  Maybe it would get me flagged, but with no delusional thoughts of being fast enough to break a record (like 50-100mph short) I don't plan to be in impound as mentioned.  I was told by SCTA to go into CGALT, but if it becomes an issue, I will just go into Open/timed.
