SEMA 2017 1968 Charger

I saw that car in the return issue of Mopar Action magazine. This guy took the big wheel look to the far reaches of the universe. He said that he wanted to emulate the cartoonish appearance of a "Hot Wheels" car.
I love the color. I like that he did not "shorten" the car. The attention to detail looks amazing but.....
I don't want to keep looking like a jerk by tearing down another Charger. That shortened green one just hit my buttons though. Messing with the body proportions annoyed me. This car? I would really like this one if it had smaller wheels. By smaller I mean no larger than a 20" and even those will annoy a lot of people.
The rest of the stuff on it are a little "glitzy-showy" but those wheels remind me of an overall pretty girl with gigantic chest-oids. It is hard to notice anything else!

This k member is awesome

There are two things that are awesome about this car...MAD fab skills and the color is over the top...everything else WHY? Cannot be comfortable to drive, how can it possibly handle anything but a straight line? That K member IS indeed awesome looking but I wonder hard about how it actually works from a ride/handling perspective.
I don't know about the engine/power/hp. etc but what difference does that make if all you can do is putt putt around in it????

I don't like one thing about it. The lines of a 68-70 Charger are perfect the way they are. Why can't people just leave a good thing alone. I watched all of the SEMA shows on TV & I am glad I don't go. A lot of people hack up a lot of nice cars just to be different.

Ok but why don't they show the rest of the car.......?

So I just saw a you tube video of this car actually driving under it's own power. Someone posted it on Facebook and I am too computer illiterate to figure out how to post it here. I watched only part of it as they were driving out of a parking lot. They went a way then had to back up as a truck pulled into the way. How fast can you go in a parking lot...5mph maybe??? While backing up that thing looked like it had NO suspension, bouncing a whole bunch for 5 mph. I would still like to ride in it to confirm my suspicion. It looked like what it must have felt like to ride in a buckboard wagon!
