REVIVING My 1969 Charger! How Bad Is It? Floor Pans and Paint!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

"For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised." -Hebrews 10:36
THE TIME IS NOW! Can my 1969 Dodge Charger be brought back to life after sitting for years? We start back guns blazing with floor pans and paint! It's just a matter of time before we make Hot Rod Power Tour and Holley MoParty! Think we can make it?

    we appreciate the content Dylan! I would like to say a big thank you to you for keeping these vehicles alive. I’m not entirely sure if you are like me or not but I do not enjoy seeing vehicles sit and rot. cars were made to be driven and I think you see that. I am almost 18 and as soon as I can I’m gonna try and start saving vehicles just like you have. I’m from Arkansas and there’s a bunch of abandon cars here so I think I could do pretty well. anyways man as said before appreciate the content. Keep this going!

I will always come back to watch another project by Dylan McCool, they are awesome it does however give me the bug to find my own old car to rebuild and restore.

A lot of YT channels are all about getting these great old cars driving again (i.e., engine, drive train, suspension, brakes) and they'll clean the interior and replace/repair seats if they're too broken/nasty to sit on. But you are going the extra mile and restoring the interior. It's going to look great and run great. Keep up the good work.
