[QUOTE=Lee Stewart;1618186]They had to - The Charger lost 8 hub caps in the movie.

There is no code for the hub caps:

Lee, I was trying to be funny, was making fun of where is that special feature I could have ordered to have my hubcaps go back on after rolling down the hill.

The behind the scene shots of all the rigging is pretty cool. The stuff they bolted to those cars is just crazy. The camera man in the trunk of the Charger must have been holding on for dear life.

These effects were done the hard way, which makes it amazing that they pulled it off. Todays computerized special effects are amazing, but many times they go too far and are not believable.

The charger had more apparatus stuck to it than most have in their garages.

And if you notice, the shot of them hitting the gas pumps was a 'retake'.
If you watch the original movie, there is a stutter where they had to insert the good take.
They missed the pumps on the first go around..

Old news if you have followed it

I have a 68 Charger Replica. 3 1/2 years ago a magazine did an article about the movie and chase and I used my car for the filming. Here is the post to SYC.

Very interesting story. Honestly, I've never seen the whole show, just the chase scenes...

Saw this magnificent Bullit Charger tribute in Daly City (south side of SF) back in 2012. Made my day.
