Wave Wave 14

The Iron Hauler transforms the 2006 Chrysler 300C from a luxury sedan into a purpose-built urban industrial mini-hauler. Its raw steel widebody and riveted flat sheet fenders extend the car’s footprint by 350mm per side, creating a brutally functional silhouette optimized for navigating tight city streets while carrying heavy loads. The elevated stance and squared-off wheel arches accommodate oversized 315/70 R17 Michelin XZL tires mounted on matte black steel beadlock wheels, underscoring its utilitarian intent.

Under the hood, the familiar 5.7L HEMI is retuned for torque with a heavy-duty cooling system and an all-wheel-drive setup featuring a low-ratio transfer case. The rear hatch has been sacrificed for a reinforced open flatbed, extending cargo capacity by 600mm with a fold-down tailgate and tubular steel subframe. This build embraces industrial rawness and tactical practicality, blending garage ingenuity with Midwest hard-use ethos.

2006 Chrysler 300C

The 2006 Chrysler 300C stands as a bold statement in American luxury sedans, blending classic muscle car proportions with upscale refinement. Built on the Chrysler LX platform, this full-size sedan features a commanding presence with a wide stance, long hood, and a spacious cabin that balances comfort and performance. Underneath its clean, unmodified lines lies a robust V8 powertrain, rear-wheel drive layout, and solid chassis engineering that made it a favorite among enthusiasts seeking a blend of power and poise without compromise.

Aero Package

Removed rear spoiler, replaced with folding cargo rack system
Heat extraction grills integrated into hood armor
Squared high-clearance wheel arches
No traditional aero elements, focus on functional airflow

Chassis

This build’s track is widened by 700mm total, giving the Iron Hauler a broad, stable footprint to support heavy loads and improve cornering stability in tight city environments. The reinforced tubular framing manages the increased torsional stresses from the wide stance.

Wheels & Tires

Michelin XZL 315/70 R17 industrial tires
17x9.5" matte black steel beadlock wheels
High-clearance arches to accommodate oversized tires
Heavy-duty beadlock design for urban cargo resilience

Powertrain

5.7L HEMI retuned for torque bias
All-wheel drive conversion with low-ratio transfer case
Upgraded heavy-duty cooling system
Torque-focused calibration for low-speed hauling

Fabrication Notes

Widebody fenders hand-formed from flat steel with visible rivets
Tubular steel framing welded to chassis for torsional rigidity
Custom flatbed constructed from reinforced steel panels
Modular storage compartments integrated into hood armor

Wave 14

Industrial Street Spec

We took everyday machines and beat them into pure industrial muscle with our latest batch of widebody haulers and utility converts. Think of this as the automotive equivalent of a bricklayer hitting the gym: these builds stretch, reinforce, and armor up production cars to dominate work sites, urban jungles, and even mountain avalanches.
