Mopar or No Car

Building Legends: How AMD & USCT Motorsports Recreated a 1969 Dodge Charger From the Ground Up

Few cars embody American muscle like the 1968–1969 Dodge Charger. From its unmistakable fastback roofline and aggressive stance to its deep Mopar heritage, the Charger remains one of the most desired restoration platforms in the world. And today, restoring one is easier than ever—thanks to Auto Metal Direct’s unmatched catalog of Charger body panels, bumpers, trim, glass, interior components, and structural assemblies.

But at AMD, we don’t just sell parts. We prove what’s possible with them.

That’s why we partnered with USCT Motorsports to take on one of the most ambitious Mopar builds ever attempted:

A Complete 1969 Dodge Charger Body—Built From Scratch

Using nothing but brand-new AMD reproduction parts, we teamed up with USCT Motorsports to assemble a full 1969 Charger unibody—piece by piece—demonstrating just how comprehensive and precise AMD’s product line has become.

This wasn’t a restoration.
There was no donor car.
No rust repair.
No original sheet metal to start with.

Just AMD’s complete Charger parts catalog and the expertise of two companies committed to preserving and advancing the Mopar legacy.

From frame rails and trunk floors to roof skins, quarters, doors, fenders, inner structure, and every bracket in between, this build proved one thing:

If Mopar made it, AMD can replace it.

Why the 68–69 Charger Is One of AMD’s Strongest Mopar Lineups

The 1968–1969 Charger demands accuracy. The curves, the creases, the body lines—every detail must be right. That’s why AMD invested heavily in all-new proprietary tooling, creating OE-style panels that match Chrysler’s original specifications with modern precision.

A look at what AMD offers for the 1968–1969 Charger:

• Full quarter panels

• Trunk floors & extensions

• Frame rails

• Door shells & door components

• Roof skins & drip rails

• Tail panels

• Dutchman panels

• Inner & outer wheelhouses

• Valances, fenders, hoods

• Bumpers (front & rear)

• Exterior trim sets & molding kits

• Glass, seals, weatherstrips, emblems, brackets, braces and more

With hundreds of part numbers in stock, AMD offers the most complete Charger restoration parts selection in the industry—including Mopar-licensed products for OE-level accuracy.

Inside the USCT Motorsports Collaboration

USCT Motorsports is known for chassis upgrades, mini-tubs, suspension systems, and performance fabrication. When combined with AMD’s exact-fit reproduction sheet metal, the collaboration created a Charger that is:

• Structurally stronger

• Dimensionally true

• Fully square and aligned

• Prepped for modern power and performance

The build showcased:

• Full unibody assembly

• Precise panel alignment

• Seamless integration of AMD structural components

• Reinforced foundation for high-horsepower applications

This wasn’t just a display car—it was a proof of concept showing builders and restorers exactly what can be achieved with AMD parts and modern fabrication expertise.

Why This Matters for Mopar Restorers

Whether you’re restoring a rough original or starting with a bare shell, AMD gives builders access to:

🔥 Accurate OE-style metal
🔥 Consistent stamping & fitment
🔥 Modern EDP coatings for rust protection
🔥 Hard-to-find, discontinued, or obsolete parts
🔥 The ability to build a complete Charger from scratch

This is game-changing for the Mopar community. Many 68–69 Chargers are too far gone for traditional restoration—but with AMD, the dream of resurrecting one becomes possible again.

A New Era of Restoration Starts Here

AMD’s collaboration with USCT Motorsports proves that the future of classic car restoration is brighter than ever. With precision tooling, premium materials, and one of the most complete Mopar parts catalogs available, AMD empowers builders to take on projects once thought impossible.

From small patch panels to complete unibody assemblies, we’re committed to keeping these iconic Chargers on the road—and in the spotlight—for generations to come.
