Sweet dreams, Dog. You were one of us.

Something about the wheel to tire ratio on those things is just so epic

After 4 years of sitting on this thing, it's great to see them finally do something with it. It looked pretty cool, even with the jank proportions, and I was shocked at how reliable it was and how well it actually drove.

Is it wrong that I actually like where the roof and the fuel fill ended up?

It'd be wrong if you didn't like it.

"street legal" is a tenuous description of that car. Still cool though.

there have been other old cars put on modern Cup chassis in the past, and they are always badass.

the cleanest one i've seen was a 69 Chevelle.

takes note of the 69 chevelle wouldn't be a bad idea to keep that in mind

Many oval track cars are a couple control arms away from being road course cars.

It all depends on how the chassis are built.. some are just designed from the frame rails up to only turn left at 200mph..

My first thought when I saw a profile shot after it was shortened was hatchback!

I'd like to put a hatch on my Mark VII...I just love hatchbacks for some reason.

Why stop at hatchback when you could have a breadvan Mark VII? I'd be up for it.

They made a shooting brake!

Like all episodes that do not contain the word "hellcat", this one was quality stuff. :) Hugely entertaining. It's cool to see how much of these projects the guys build themselves too.

I was watching it in bed on my tablet and groaned so loudly when Freiberger hit the wall, that my wife said "what happened???"

Really fun build. I'm bummed it ended as fast as it did. Those two deserve all of the e-fame they have.

I'm also glad that it hasn't completely turned into a Dodge commercial. I'm curious what will happen with the Fast N Loud drag race.

But you just knew it was going to happen. You just knew it.

I have to give props to FCA for allowing them to continue doing essentially whatever the hell they want. Granted, I probably would have thrown them a bone and at least looked for some old Chrysler body to VIN the car with. An old 70's Mirada, Cordoba or something.
