Hey Dylan you ever heard of Huntland Tennessee
Easily my favorite channel on KZread. Dylan is such a class act. He sent at least 10 emails trying to help me troubleshoot ignition and wiring issues on my charger. If it weren’t for his help, I probably wouldn’t be road testing my 71 tomorrow.

If i had money i would love to do this. I took automotive technology in college, to do this kind of fun things to a old school muscle car. Great watching someone do what you love to do as well.
As a World class GM mechanic, i gotta say, I cannot get enough of these builds!! No MDI II, no OBD connections. Just good ole fashioned car rebuild, tride and true, lovin the content man, seriously, you’re extremely talented. You’ve also got a great head on your shoulders kid👍🏼
Don’t know anything he’s taking apart but it’s fun to watch someone who knows what they’re doing. And the best part after all that hard work you end up with a cool car! Good job. Keep it up!

I had a "70" Challenger convertible with a 383 when I lived in Phoenix in 1974. It was stolen in 1976. Makes me cry when I think about it. Loved that car!
How many times have you heard, "dinners ready" and "hurry up, I don't want it to get cold", garage builds are the best.
My advice to anyone that is attempting this type of job, take a "picture" of the item first,then disassemble it.That way you will be able to reassemble it all back together. Hope this helps.

38 Prius guys can't stand someone doing their own repairs... Yessir, good thing you weren't hurt by that torsion bar - I had an issue w/my Newport concerning the torsion bar, & rather than try tackling it(or vice versa) in my garage, I let a shop with a lift handle it for me. All in all, I think you're doing a great job - & I'll be here for the 318 teardown. Two thumbs up!

7.5 K views in 60 minutes. That is great and it shows that your channel is quality content. I am always psyched to see a notification for this channel. 👍👍
I am an Old Goat Mechanic, sure would like to see you getting a Bead/Sand Blaster, it would save you tons of time and the paint really sticks. I understand you are trying to keep costs to a minimum. Keep the videos coming on this build. Good to see someone saving these vintage cars!
Eye protection and gloves bruh. Dylan knows his stuff for such a young man.
Who knew these types of videos would become a lot more interesting after playing a bit of Car Mechanic Simulator? Now I have at least a basic understanding of what he's doing and what most of the parts are/does.

Rescuing old cars that have been basically abandoned is commendable. It's history on wheels. I'm hooked on this series.
Thank you, Dylan for all the work of filming and editing those videos. Its a pleasure to watch. All the best and keeo going!
Loved the ball-joint separator on the air hammer!
I think we need some “It’s straight except for the dents.” Stickers!
Great job on the suspension Dylan, that's some quality work coming from a young mechanic like yourself. Keep up the awesome videos.

I think someone needs to donate a sandblasting cabinet to your channel, if anyone has one, feel free to hit up Dylan
This series is by far my favorite so far. Really enjoying watching this come together! Keep up the great work man!
Great stuff! More than I could ever do on a car. The new tee shirt looks pretty awesome too. Keepin' the old Mopars alive!
Those kyb's are really good. I've got them on Vette, 86 and 72 Camino. Stiff ride, but just right. There are sleepers..... I see you're putting them on your second car. Yep. Whole project looks good. And damn, I kept waiting for Stevie to rip out a solo. Damn
Great Work Dylan!!!! I Owned a 1972 Challenger with a 318 ,904 trans with the Slapstick shifter, had the console. Rear window defogger option. A /C , a Craig Power Play 8track pop in and out tape player . Factory Rally mag wheels . She was Allot Like Yours. Mine was Root beer Brown with a Black Vinyl top. I was a Happy 16 year old in 1978 . I Met my Best friend while driving this car. He had a 1971 Challenger with the 318 auto and the Slapstick . I also met my Dream date and took her out in this car.
always love it when I find builds like this that have 30 parts to it. i can just binge the whole thing and not wait for new vids to come out.
LOVING this rescue! So excited to see the progress! Thanks for uploading.
Great job Dylan can't wait to see the front suspension back on the car.and that new engine in
Great video! I can hardly wait for the next one! Thanks Dylan! God bless.
Most shows just shows the body and engine being restored you are doing it all as it should be, doing an awsome job!
A lot of good, hard work. Like the use of clearcoat. Excellent front suspension and K member total rebuild!
Challengers are my favorite, i think what ur doing is a service to the world. Keep posting!!
In a 1969 Satellite Sport my mom had back in 1974 that thing was forever popping freeze plugs. Would I love to have that car now though ...
D Mac making dry content really interesting, I love this channel and this build.
It's good to have a young person who will jump on to a classic and bring it back to life. Keep up the great work one of my favorite channels. When I was as your age I would buy cars ant trucks out of yards and stick salvage yard engines or transmissions in and drive them as my main transportation. Biggest difference is it was the same years cars as you do but not nearly as old in the 80s. I have a 67 Charger now as a hobby.
Dylan you are a Super Genius. You make what looks impossible become possible, such an inspiration to future mechanics. Very gifted person.
Dylan, dude, I keep referring back to your tips. You're beyond kind to share how you do what you do. My goal - to get my new '70 Challenger up to snuff to the point I can drive to meet you somewhere between Iowa (where I'm at) and Tennessee (where you're at). Should have the car home in April, and the "Challenge" begins! I work a lot, so it will take a while, but I'm excited. Intimidated, but excited. Cheers, and thanks again!
I would consider myself more of a charger guy, but you easily took your channel to the next lvl with this project. 👍 Much love from Europe, where awesome classics are quite hard to find 😉
I cannot wait to see the next video! Love rebuilding these classics and these videos give me great ideas!
I like your approach to your videos! There isn't time lost to the " buddies" chit chat! Sticking to content! Keep it up!
If anyone says they don't like old mopar muscle cars,you know they are lying,not possible 😁 enjoying the build so far thanks
Dylan you are a genius but even a genius can make a mistake right? I know 🙏 you are so gifted you can fix every mistake. I enjoy watching how you fix and transform old and broken cars into nice cars again. Your parents must be very proud of you. God bless you and your family.
Always happy to see you uploaded a new video!
Your really doing a nice job on the Challenger! I like the tip about putting clear on new parts that aren't finished.
Good job Dylan, that front suspension looks really nice and you did a great job with the gusets on the control arms, looks really good and a lot stronger than factory for sure. Really enjoying watching the series and progress on the Challenger!!! See ya in the next one!!!
Yo Dylan! Just got my Kove speaker! Thank you for the recommendation!!
Sensacional o trabalho de vocês, parabéns! Aqui no Brasil isso seria inviável de qualquer aspecto.
Loved how you mixed the old parts with new improved ones. Good decisions. I worry a bit that you did not use any “rust converter paint” on those old parts. I hope they’ll stay rust free. Thanks for the video!
You are a very talented young man that has a passion for old cars, keep up the great work.
You are building up quite the collection there. Keep up the good work!
Good job!!!! You added the background music, I’m liking this series more and more.

Great Job Dylan! Those steering and braking components look brand new! 😊
Good to see young people interested doing things like this! Good job keep it up!!
This is my absolute FAVORITE channel! And I love this series! Great work!
part 3 im definitely hooked to this story...thanks
I can't wait to see how this build comes out!!😁I love hemi classics
FINALLY FOUND a person to watch being a mopar mechanic that actually "explains" parts and procedures. Closest i came to a mopar is a '69 dart with a slant six. I have very little mechanical knowledge; however i still enjoy learning auto mechanics.
Love how a good paint job can make old parts look new again. When I rebuilt the suspension in my '68 Ford Galaxie convertible, it was so satisfying to see how nice all the parts looked after they'd been sanded down and had a few coats of paint on them. It was almost a shame to put them back on the car where they'd be practically invisible up underneath there. 😉😂 Looking forward to the next video -- definitely want to see what was up with that old 318.
Great video, I have used those shocks on my classic mini over here in the UK 🇬🇧 they are a great shock and I have found ride nicer than some modern cars. Perfect upgrade in my eyes. 👍
This guy is pro about vehicles old school lots of experience in the field mechanic school not easy when put new engine inside parts nuts volts hood also wheel want learn about this Dylan more information awesome video keep up the good work friend bless you
I wish from the heart that your project to see that forgotten and mistreated MOPAR be restored to a good port, and that you make that Dodge Challenger a worthy rival on the roads, streets and on the quarter-mile tracks. 🙋 Greetings from Granada (Spain) and much encouragement✌
Back yard build , way to go young man ! Bringing her back to life ... The way you are attacking this project , it should turn out to be a good looking and good handling car ! The 318 should take a 340 rotating assembly. Hopefully just .010 on the block. .... Keep up the good work ! A lot of us older guys that have a little difficulty doing this work are living through your Vidio ... Thanks young man ! Calif. Hun ☺️
Great job on the front end rebuild that thing is going to handle great when you’re done
This was treat to see, really satisfying. Cant wait to see the next episode.
I’m really enjoying the build and I can’t wait until the next post 👍🏾
Nice job on the front suspension. I'm looking forward to the engine teardown. Hope it can be saved. It would be nice to have the original back in the car.
A full sand down and paint of rusty parts😍😍😍 Best series
The Blue Dart was the car that has me hooked ( my favourite car ) and many other of your builds. I own a 2016 Scat Pack Shaker and hands downs your Challenger, Charger and Dart have so much soul , style and more appeal than my car ever will. Keep up the GREAT work .
Great job Dylan McCool. Well done.
nice job , looks much better. i like the music playing in the background, its catchy. oh yea i saw those jack stands tip on ya , most guys put tires with rims under the vehicle to keep it from falling, as well as jackstands. keep posting, ill keep watching 👍
I’m rewatching these for the 3rd time. . .I love these videos😅
Man I wish I could have you in my garage! I have a 1970 Pontiac lemans sport in my garage that has been sitting there since 1994. I really want to get that thing on the road. All original, i have to have the engine rebuilt 😬
Just simply awesome mr. McCool style video. Love it
The music almost sounds like Stevie Ray Vaughans version of voodoo child at some parts.
Nice work. That suspension looks great. I hope you take the time to clean and paint the subframe to match.
What a great find! I need to go back and watch the first two episodes! I don’t know which engine you had in that but you can’t go wrong with whichever one you had! I would like to say when pushing into the rubber bushings you should use silicone. I know WD-40 makes a silicone spray so I’m not sure if you used it or not. It doesn’t destroy rubber!
Its great that us `International` guys can understand everything he says. Good clear voice, great work on the car, cheers.
You need to get the 70 Satellite that Thunderhead289 and Junkyard digs are wrenching on and have that as a future rebuild project. Keep up the great work Dylan.
You are a class act Dylan,great video!
I enjoyed this very much ., can’t wait for the up coming videos
I hope you gave the guy that suggested that T a thank you 👍 Brakes and suspension systems can be problematic.
I'm waiting for part 4 I'm exited to see!!
Seeing that pickle fork attachment for the impact, yea I need one of those! Also, good to see I'm not the only one who gets too far into a job before thinking to themselves, I should have worn gloves. That's totally me! Haha. I can't believe the front spindle was in that many parts. Pretty slick with the stiffener plate.
The thing about old muscle cars is even beat up like that they still look cool
All and all the bushings in that front end, though old , seemed like they were in reasonable condition considering their age! Sweet car
Great work! Can't wait for the next one.
You should invest in a sand blasting machine so you can give those suspension pieces are proper clean. Gets all the rust out of the nooks and crannies and leaves a bright, clean surface for the primer to adhere to properly. Lovin' the videos Mr McCool !
Great series, keep it simple.. love how u show everything 😄
Lindo trabajo, lindo auto y se ve que lo estás haciendo con calma, quizas no te pongas a traducir esto y lo entiendo pero te felicito por como lo vas llevando. Yo tengo un Dodge también y es una de las pocas cosas que me da satisfacción en la vida. Saludos y ya quiero volver a verlos
That “STOP” sign looks just like the one missing at our intersection where all those accidents are happening.
Hey Dylan have no sought after you done with the challenger is going to be a sweet ride thanks for the video man 👍
