Famous car and motorcycle builder, Jesse James‘ 1964 Dodge Polara is one cool build — Jesse and the Roadster Shop joined forces with Honeywell Garrett to produce a twin-turbocharged beast for street and strip.
It all begins with a 3D scan using Faro Technologies equipment. This allowed Roadster Shop to build a custom (Fast Track) chassis that is lighter and stronger than the factory unit.
A Tremec transmission, Strange Engineering rear differential, Baer brake system, and Forgeline wheels with Nitto 505R rubber help get this heavy Mopar up to speed and bring it safely to a stop.
Under the hood, a Wegner Motorsports built 426 cubic-inch Hemi engine and a pair of Honeywell Garrett GTX3582R turbochargers are making plenty of horsepower. See full build specifications below.
This video takes you step-by-step through the dramatic build of this rusted-out Polara. Watch…
