[@gregholderfield6797]

Love your Dads sense of humor. He sounds like a really nice guy. Miss my Dad and the times we had in the garage wrenching on cars, especially my '72 Dart. Lost him 10 years ago.

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

I am very sorry to hear about that man

[@Magnesiac]

You're a lucky guy to have a Dad like that. Seems like a really cool, easy going fella. Thanks for the vids

[@Seansworld17]

Nice work guys! I don’t why in the hell anyone would give you a thumbs down on your channel. You guys are not only informational but also entertaining. Thanks.

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

I couldn't tell ya man

[@calvincooley1074]

I love that car! The wheels, traction bars, HEMI, rake, the white vinyl top. Boom!

[@richardleser6505]

Oh those MOPAR Gyes, out there having to much fun! Again.

[@richardleser6505]

So very nice, that’s such a badass 68 hemi charger, can’t wait for the rest of the upcoming upgrades, I’m sure the videos will be awesome as were the ones before

[@marcusmaddenov5788]

Probably could use a solinoid instead of a motor for that. Dads Charger looking good Jed!

[@duncandmcgrath6290]

I used two power door latch pull solenoids from Princess auto 11$ each

[@kingerikthegreatest.ofall.7860]

Your dad's car is so nice.

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

It is pretty sweet

Nice conversion.

[@5HKNB4K]

Everything takes a bit of tinkering to make it perfect. Great work! Love the chitchat. Scott's rock

[@deopersad2915]

Awesome 👍🏾🤙🏼 looking forward to you's changing the diff and gear box 🤙🏼

Can’t remember the last time I used my probe parts on an old cougar

Love your cars and content fellas and the old school look of the Mopars , can dad change the plug wires to red please , keep up the good work 😎🔥💪👀

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

Hemi plug wires are quite expensive but this do need replaced and a friend gave me a really nice set of red ones that are like new

[@chasbarnes3425]

That’s awsome man you and your dad always working on cars together, wish my dad an I was like that but no worries I gotta daughter an she seems real interested in engines muscle trucks I can just hope she gets into it like I am

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

That would be awesome man

[@m1a1hm]

Nice upgrade !! Dude i love that 68 Charger. I wish i could turn my 68 Plymouth satellite in to one .

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

You can, it is just sheet metal for the most part

[@kingerikthegreatest.ofall.7860]

I like the black interior.

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

I don't, it is boring and overdone

[@kingerikthegreatest.ofall.7860]

@@ScottsSpeedShop ok

[@richardray2142]

Great to seeing your dad and you working on the charger can't wait for the winter to end and you guys do that rear end and 4 speed in and Happy New year to you and your family

[@Doogie_Causey]

That Hemi Sounds Badass

[@joshdurrant9247]

Great present for Dad Jed! Awesome video guys, your Dad has one sweet charger! Wondering when you're going to put out a mixtape of Mopars idling, I'm sure many guys including me could listen to that all day!😂 Keep up the badass videos Jed, looking forward to the next one! 👍👍💪💪😎😁🇺🇸!

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

I was actually gonna do that soon lol

[@scotttracey3748]

Thanks!

[@robzee3415]

Great video!

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

YOU DA MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MrPappysCobra]

Awesome Hemi!

[@albertherr6951]

beauitful 68 charger looks factory where you put that box on the rad support

[@johnpassmore8176]

God dad's got a beautiful charger

[@SixPackDan]

we did this 25 years ago. But we used all the guts from a 70 charger.

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

harder to do with the guts from a 70, but can be done. The headlight covers are constructed completely differently, but with modifications, it can be done

[@joeschlotthauer840]

Catheadlights and urban headlights are other manufacturers, I think...

[@mikestackhouse9001]

Great how-to video Jed! I just love your Dad. Not only is he smart about all things Mopar, but a really good sense of humour. BTW, what oil does he run in the charger?

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

Dad only runs Mopar filters, MO-090

[@jarmominkkinen2450]

Good great jobb.❤🤩👍🌞

[@mrmoss149]

" it's off the same fuckin' harness". Your dad. LMFAO

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

He is a comedic genius for sure lol

[@mrmoss149]

@@ScottsSpeedShop No doubt. Love it.

[@straightshooter2519]

Jed , you definitely need a dodge street van that would be cool

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

I want one, but got too many cars as it is

[@c103110a]

Man, give it some WD-40.

[@MrSonordrumr]

I would leave the interior, the black looks cool, but, to each his own huh?

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

Dad's original 1969 Charger, was red, white top and a white interior, and I really like how striking white interiors

[@sixpackroadrunner]

I got a wedge i can trade if he is tired of the leaking turd.

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

lol me too

[@danielleach2307]

Cool got them to work his bye bye would have been delayed other wise tell him belated birthday from me

[@stephenhotzjustdriveit]

Always takes a bit of fiddleing

[@dougwolfedrums]

Awesome video I just ordered my kit to do this. Two questions for you. I had been thinking of installing a headlight relay so the power isn’t coming the whole way from the switch, so correct me if I’m wrong but is that not necessary now that I’m installing this kit and it already has a relay? Also should the bottom running lights shut off when you flip the switch from Park to On?

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

You won't need a secondary relay, and the running lights should come on separately than the headlights

[@wilenelson1810]

🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎

[@nickseigmund9127]

I would have kept the interior black and turned it into a dark purple version of the General Lee with dark tented windows.

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

Eww

[@unclesquirrel6951]

Personally I blame squirrels

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

same

[@jacobmarshall2875]

You need s set for Jezebel

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

Jezebel is a 70 Charger, it has one electric motor that activates the headlight doors

[@moparmanicgarage]

Don't know why mopar went from electric rotating headlight buckets in '66 and '67 to crappy vacuum controlled plastic doors in '68

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

It was a huge misstep in my opinion

[@lilred-emax2027]

Great video but would have been helpful to see what was done to fix it

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

It's just a conversion kit, it's pretty simple to install and hook up

[@BlownBudgetGarage]

I was confused at first I was like electric headlight conversion??? All headlights are electric lol

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

electric headlight motor lol

[@DR440]

I pulled the electric headlight motor off my '70 that was completely frozen up. It contained only rust...no glitter. I am disappointed ....

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

Well rust is a form of glitter, but it isn't fun glitter lol

[@mikeb4808]

Hey Jed. Fan from Canada . What is the size of ur dads slot mags on the back ? they look even wider than 10 " ?

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

They are 15x10

[@jessicawells5145]

I gues I missed a vidio,did y'all change out the cross ram for a in line setup?

[@therockgod1318]

Yep, much more friendly now;

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

Yep, we did that quite a while ago, also, you got a reply from dad and myself

[@navygse1]

Greetings Scott, What color is your dad's Charger? Was it factory? Mine is similar, the guy I bought it from said it was original...but I cannot find a color or code for '68 Charger R/T... Thank you in advance... Mike

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

This 68 Charger was originally GG1 and we painted it like Dad's 69 Charger with R4 Bright Red paint, the 68 equivalent would be PP1 I believe, which is still Bright Red, but a different shade.

[@navygse1]

@ScottsSpeedShop GG1? Wow, that was a super cool and super rare metallic green...awesome. I "thought" mine was Hemi Orange...but that was not an option as body color until late '69. Unfortunately, my car was rescued from a SC farm field sans any build sheets and fender tag... I had thought it was "Tor" red...but met a guy with a fully original Mopar and it was a light "Charger Red" and nothing like my orange. Still, not a big deal as mine is a RestoMod not a concurs restoration...the eng and trans were long gone... Thank you and keep up the great videos!

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

@navygse1 send me some photos of your color, and I'll see if I can tell what it is. I would also love to see your car. My email is [e-mail]

[@theodoredugranrut8201]

Bye bye
