Just found your channel off one of Junkyard Digs videos ,You guys remind me of my younger days doing the mopars and other cars ,Keep it up ,young people doing this is rare anymore .

I've always said that a little rust is just a nice patina for old hotrods, but I think the Charger already has enough personality that that's not necessary any more... Keep up the great work Dylan!

Don't sweat the gas tank. It'll buff out.

Awesome Video, you took care of business in the rusty truck and prepped a replacement part. Another few steps to getting her ready for PowerTour.

The most stressful KZread video ever

Really? I found it therapeutic....it's like cutting out cancer.

Hello Dylan, I am glad to see a young man that's into the cars as you are and also serves our Lord. I tried making a comment on one of the other videos and somehow my lack of technological skills put me on another video before I could post it. Well anyway my posting concerns the one where your rocker arm shaft had broken. I've been a master technician for 22 years and hardly ever heard a 318 that makes any noise when properly assembled. They also last a long time due to the fact they have such a low compression ratio. I've got one I'm throwing together now and if I can figure out how I will throw you a video of it. Keep up the work and keep on loving those mopars

Love your Amish air chisel!!!

Can’t wait to see how it all turns out! Looking good

Awesome job, can't wait to see the new floor completely welded in

Definitely looks like a load of fun. Glad your saving a great Mopar. God Bless.

Keep up the good work, Dylan. Your efforts will be rewarded.

I have some trunk rust (and left frame rail) in my Trans Am, can't wait to tackle it this spring! Thankfully its not as bad as the Charger, and won't need a whole trunk pan.

Dylan, there is nothing better than being up to the elbows in grease, dirt, grime, cuts, busted knuckles etc!!!

Now I know why u didnt pressure wash the interior,because it will blow off the floor

One thing is for sure, you have way more patience than i ever did! Patience is a virtue!!! Git er done! The car is coming right along.

That intro was gold

I know it's a lot of work but at the end it all pays off keep up the good work I love your Channel it's real cool to see another classic muscle car getting saved and being put together the right way four years of enjoyment on the road God bless keep up the good work

Hey Dylan. I'm a recent sub after watching Junkyard Digs and his Olds visit you recently. I blitzed thru your vids and finally got caught up. love the mopar focus. Keep it up! Best wishes from Canada.

You are doing that without a rotisserie. Yikes. You must be committed to it! I did the same work on a 68 charger in the 90's and decided to make a rotisserie and it saved my back!

Nice, that new floor is going to look great. Car is coming along nicely.

buys new piece of sheet metal has to saw in half🤣 oh the Joy's of building cars!

I work in a body shop and for spot welds we us an air 1/4 belt sander for the spot welds and man it is so nice and easy to do welds like those

great work brother...

I've done this job twice now, once on my 68, then a couple a years later on my 69charger, and both times it was not particularly a job I liked doing lol! But it was nice when it was finished, and I could actually put things in the trunk again👍🏻 including gas in the tank lol! great video keep em coming!!

God Bless You Dylan. I didn't know you were a Brother in The Lord Jesus Christ. Awesome. Awesome videos too. Thank you for posting these for us all out here in the world. God Bless the U.S.A and the world.

dylan mccool, the thinking mans cleetus mcfarland.

I was just 5 years old when that trunk was still fresh and clean. Boy do I feel rusty!

hey man for being a first time welder that's great man you had a good teacher

Yeah I remember replacing the floor of my D100 ('78). I put goop around and riveted them in, but it worked pretty good. You can't tell it isn't welded with the carpet.

Good job on that nice and clean cut.

You don't need floor boards they just add weight. Lol

I bought a 1972 Plymouth Barracuda in 1978 with 60,000 miles for $1,200 because the back quarter panels and back bumper were starting to rust. The newer cars rust slower, but cost a lot more to buy used, especially a Lexus with 100,000 miles.

Just seen all 69 Charger videos this evening, good work so far. I got myself a 68 Charger. Wishes from Christian, Denmark, Europe

Hey Dylan the video was very good thanks

Gonna be an AWESOME ride! Look forward to more vids! Wanna recommend something though....Keep your spot weld bit dipped in WD-40 or something like it....That will keep it from getting dull so fast....

Ahhh I love the smell of Charger Rust in da morning. I so miss my 69,70 and 73 Chargers but at least I have the satisfaction of knowing my 73 is in Italy,France burning up the roads there

Quick tip: if you drill at a slower rpm and use the drill with a stop and go technique you will not overheat the spot-weld cutter and you will see how fast the metal shreds start to fly. The point is to keep the bit cool for more efficiensy

Well done man thanks for the great content!

Great video Dylan! :)

Nice job man.cant wait to see her ripping down the rd.

Beautiful gravel on that tank.

Send ur gas tank to "my mechanics" channel. He will restore or make a new one for you 😂

So cool! Keep it up!

Cool man your awesome you make great vids and I love old cars

That intro, “we may have a problem.” Hahaha

Dylan great video!!! In case you didn't know you can take your air chisel to peel back unwanted sheet metal from the frame rails. No need to waste time with drilling spot welds UNLESS you're saving both panels associated with the spot weld. In this case it's not, you're just removing crusty sheet metal from your frame rails. Just take your air chisel bit at a shallow angle between the frame rail and sheet metal. The vibration will pop the spot welds. No hammering with a cold chisel and no drilling spot welds. If you already know this please ignore. Keep up the great work!!! Love to meet you at one of the Mopar shows. Do you go to the Mopar Nationals? Carlisle?

Loved your high speed power hammer technique! ;-) LOL

It’s easier to grind the top of the spot weld out the use and air hammer with chisel on it underneath. Spot weld cutters are good for saving a panel you are removing but take forever. I also use a reciprocating saw and grinder with diamond blade to remove the bulk of the panels up to the flanges. Hope this helps next time.

Look like a lot of hard work

Been in nature's steam oven too long, got extra crispy! Entropy ain't kind, but we have the tools and the knowledge to fight it!

Looking to replace my rockers on my car the sheet metal around the trim is completely gone, rotted away but as a semi retired vehicle to drive around on some trails and dirt roads that would be fun. And I bet it wont be as easy as it is to replace floorboards in a classic Charger.

100/10 intro almost died from laughter but yeah at least it lives and wasn't a 2004 tundra

Best intro before the intro 😂😂😂

Yep...but Dylan...you're the man with the plan!

Used to live in Pensacola. Been through Hazel Green a couple of times. Not much to see beyond that ginormous water tower.

Warning viewer advisory screwdrivers were abused in the making of this video

Gloves man gloves. Non of you guys use gloves. Ha I never get cut. Love the videos cant wait for completion

you might be able to get the guy from diy gang to drill your ruvits for you he likes to do that .lol.your doing a great job

I was thinking the exact same thing. That dude looks like he really enjoys cutting out spot welds

You gonna work day and night on it in the end you’ll see your work and proud about it. + rebuilding a cool car

When the vehicle is done will you use a rust inhibitor like Krown or something similar to keep it in good shape and preserve all your hard work .

9:13 insert "hello there!" Obi-Wan meme

Awesome ! Didn’t even get your hair messed up ... lol

Man I tell you what, this north Alabama rain spell needs to get gone, love the videos man

Looks good man and also that floor pan was really rusted out but hey take it from a guys named Rusty lololol but nice work coming together man!!

Grab the coupon from Harbor Freight for there latex coated shop gloves. Hell there a buck a pair Dylan👍🏼

Keep the the dream bro. It will pay of.

I think you should call this car the flying Dutchman

Let's see getting a list together of everything we need... #1. Everything. #2. See #1. Part-time labor can't possibly come out ahead on a vehicle like that classic car or not.

is there a way if you have alot of time to convert some of the rust back to steel i mean maybe a few inches around border or should that be done anyway seems like a pretty big piece of steel to lay into there

Dylan hey man love your channel and I got a question for you I got a Torino that needs a trunk pan can you send me the link from where you order yours thanks

Those spot weld bits rock for the first seven times you use them then they are horrible from dullness

The lightening scissors would have been real handy here.

Great channel!!! Subscribing now!

Mopar magazine sells all those floor pans and trunk

Trunk pan delete option.

You could always put a fuel-cell off to the side and use that as your James Bond Escape tunnel

Your theme song was in Wayne

What happen with the general Lee project car

Are you going to clean up the braces and spray with something that would stop the rust?

I feel like what happened here was that Yo dude get in the trunk XD YEAH lol dude (Gets in trunk) WHAAAAA HELP DUDE AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

How did the PB blaster work out for you?!

What kinda camera do you use for the video

Dylan go to Daniel Restodan and check out his 63 Impala it could save you a lot of work in the future.

All that missing metals gonna be wireless, that's the new factry style.

Been there done that. Where's your 4" grinder with cut off wheels?

FFS lol get a new spot weld drill bit or soak it in grease or PB or WD40

What did that spot weld cutter ever do to you?

may I ask how much it cost to build the 440 motor itself?

Mccool did you skip school to work on that charger....well that's better than what I was doing when I skipped school

New trunk floor. What kind of shape are all those supports in? I'll bet most of those have to go too.

10:34 ooh, pretty fire

I’ve never seen a hammer move so fast!!!

Below, I reacted a little early on safety! Keep working.

Fuck yes brother

Today's forecast... Rust Rain! Wow, that tank is trashed!

Might want to consider a Plasma Cutter to help out with cutting all the metal

still easier than grinder and drill

Note to self: spot weld bits, meny 👍

Maybe i'm just getting lazy in my late 30's but I would have broke out an air chisel. And a new spot weld cutter.

That's how i remove them too ,I have a 1 1/2 wide curved bit that pops the spot welds pretty easy ,then grind the remains down after .

He should use flex tape to put the trunk floor back together
