Building a Bobby Isaac Daytona Nascar out of an abandoned Circle track Charger

After sitting abandoned in the trees and cut up for parts…this Dodge Charger finally gets built into what it was meant to be…a 1969 dodge Daytona track ready racecar

    I have a 71 that I’ve had since 1980, and of course I’m a Petty Fan, I came dam near doing his 71, Petty Blue and I let my old buddies talk me out of it but if I ever wanted to make a street car into a stock car it would of been The Kings 71, it was t that crazy, it was Plum Crazy, like that’s not nuts, hahaha. Do what you want it’s your wheels, Bobby Isaac’s car is bad ass, can’t wait to see it dome Chris, keep us up to date.

    I was on the edge of my couch when Chris was about to name his build. Was it Richard Petty? Jack McCoy..? Who tf is that? 😂 Then I heard you wanted to paint it in ur uncle's colors. 👍 Cool 😎 That will be awesome! 1st Nascar race I ever went to was Firecracker 400 in Daytona, 1970. I was 15, so #71 car was there. 😋 This is fantastic series Chris, you da Man!

    I know building this stuff is your passion, I can`t believe a millionare hasn`t approached you, bought a shop, with 3 or 4 Charger jigs, and are making 68 -69 Charger bodies for 50-60k apiece, I bet you could make a 1m in the first year, but then again, I think you would be bored. your bead rolling looks fantastic, and the pentastar, through the roof. your metal skills are just insane, the adjustable leaf spring risers off the top of your head, crazy talent. You the man.

    You've come a long, long way, Chris. I've been with you since the first video series on Patina - remember making that frame patch on the driver's side front, over the wheel? I knew you were special back then. You're so self-taught, you do things your own way, ignoring the cries of the purists. Soon, they will come to YOU for the "new" way of doing things. I'm sure it's happened already.

    If I never peeked ahead, by the fifteen minute mark I would have thought the video would end with no car left and just a huge pile of metal on the ground. That roll cage must have been scared shitless thinking "if this is the way he treats vintage sheet metal, I dread what is going to happen to me".

    I would seriously consider ultra-sounding the tubes of that roll cage to make sure that the tubing does not have rusty crusty spots In making that roll cage as useful as one made from cheap Chinesiam muffler tubing. Many years ago I purchased three dirt track chassis that had been sitting behind this old boys barn for about 5 years along with a with a garage full of parts when he lost interest in racing (actually his wife forced his losing interest but that is another story);Anyway I thought I had scored big picking up the parts and what appeared to be three well built late 1980’s MonteCarlo’s that was until I started looking a little closer and noticed the bottoms of pretty much every tube in the roll cages had slight bulge in them. I the drill a small hole in the several tubes and struck rusty water. I borrowed a ultra-sound machine from a buddy who did tech inspections for NHRA and several other series/sanctioning bodies and found that the bottom 2 feet of most every piece of tubing was junk because they were all rusting from the inside out.

    Looks like another channel locked in, thanks to Newbern sending me over... The way Chargers have climbed in value, I wish I had latched onto that abandoned one up in northern New Brunswick back in the 80s. It looked complete except for motor and trans. Shame. I still think about it, and looked for it but the yard was cleaned up long ago...
