Dang, Dude. You don't have much of a "Cuda to start off with! Kudos to you for tackling such an impossible job. I would have walked away.

One word.....PUMPED!!

This car is actually got good bones an inner structures

You're a better man than I am... to break that window and still keep a smile on your face... I don't think I could do it. I love the work you do... been watching since before the big move. What you can do just amazes me. Thanks for sharing these projects with us.

ive been in your shoes! keep it rollin!

I need to do some metal work on my 1971 Pontiac Lemans GT-37 as well. Thanks for sharing!

A Cuda is worth restoring,no matter how rusted it is!

Great progress.

If you haven't scrapped the old quarters yet, try to save the areas around the side marker lights. There are people that could use them to change a 72-74 style to the better looking 70-71 style.

Lookin good buddy

If you can get a hold of them, try the Wuerth HSCO spot weld drill bits. The best I've used in almost 20 years of restoring cars.

Man I wish I had your patience and talent!

Yep!

Great builds

You took that back window fiasco a lot better than I would have! I would have had to stop recording for a week while I stomped around and cried like a baby!

Lots of hard work but worth it!

I like that trick. Cut off the quarter panel to remove the quarter window

Appreciate the videos

love it, you make it look easy! .

Wow, this is moving quuck

Nicely done. Looking forward to the build.

You sent us another great video. Of course T-Bone doesn't like this car because he likes Mustangs (probably Fox bodies too, which everyone and their brother had back in the day).

Need to get back on the charger. Ready to see the primer and bodywork steps. The Cuda looks like about the same amount of metal replacement. Both are going to be saaaaweeet!

now I don't feel so bad, been there done that.

I would replace the roof skin would save a lot of labor .I have done a 73 Challenger roof and QT's fit's nice ! A1 panels from AMD

Yeah that is what happened to our Cuda. The former owner tried to take the window before we picked it up and presto shattered window.

Considering - YEP it’s not bad at all! Too bad about the tail panel, but you can add your touch to make it better than original. Great stuff and looking forward to its progress. God Bless 😎

Really enjoy watching you work. I’m glad your saving this one.

You're an inspiration. Great work ethic. Thank you for sharing your project and knowledge. I appreciate all the hard work.

just an idea for ya to think about. Reverse the flange on the frame rail kinda like take the left outer frame rail and add to the right and the right to the left. should give you plenty of a flange to weld to and still give you strength to the frame rail Plus it will still look like the regular spot weld trail along the frame rail

Just drill out the spot welds and the panels will pop right off they said...🤣..🤣.

Love seeing these getting a new lease on life, caution man you need a mask you don't want that rust dust in your lungs 🫁 I've been there and done that it's not good

Привет Мужик ! Благодаря твоим видео, я смог сделать качественную 3Д модель Додж Чарджер . Которую я уже распечатал, и провожу подготовку под покраску кузова. Мой совет. Используй Респиратор, или маску. Неужели тебе приятно дышать в Себя, и сын тоже вдыхает это. Ржавую пыль и разрушающийся отрезной диск . Подумай об этом. Это не тот Понт, которым стоит не пренебрегать . Ты Крутой! Спасибо тебе. Благодаря твоему видео, я осознал это. Что, Чарджер и Челленджер, построены на одной шасси. Я Такого не знал!) Успехов в реставрации Стильных Muscle Car ++++++++++++++++++++++ Hey Man! Thanks to your videos, I was able to make a high-quality 3D model of a Dodge Charger. Which I have already printed out, and I am preparing for painting the body. My advice. Use a respirator, or a mask. Is it really nice for you to breathe into Yourself, and your son also inhales it. Rusty dust and a collapsing cutting disc . Think about it. This is not a show-off that should not be neglected. You're Cool! Thank you. Thanks to your video, I realized that. What, the Charger and the Challenger are built on the same chassis. I did not know This!) Success in the restoration of Stylish Muscle Car

That's a big job but well worth it. Well done.

I’ll be honest. When you said “….took that window out without a scratch” everyone around me were wondering what the hell I was laughing at.

Buddy just love these videos I’m going to be doing my own car like this shorty got a 66 and a 67 Fairlane fastback located that need a lot work and have a lot of time to do the work to so my welding come a long way most admit your videos have help a lot

Really enjoy watching your channel with the cuda and challenger restorations. I've been tearing down a 72' challenger and will be needing to replace pretty much the same rear sections that you have done on the cuda. I like the idea of your sq.tubing supports to keep up the tail section. Could you tell me the wall thickness and tubing dimensions you used. Thank you and keep up the excellent videos. They are very helpful.

Just added more parts from AMD

Oh no not again been there done that only in a salvage yard helping a friend in the early 90s remove trim to remove rear glass out of 79 Magnum needed rear quarter for his 79 glass popped didn't have too pay for the glass lucky us

Hey Dave do you think a plasma cutter would have saved anymore time cutting apart ? Great to see you back on your projects Love your son is enjoying helping you as well Keep the videos coming please

awesome video the car is looking amazing

Soooooo good to see you back at it man. Hope whatever was/is going on that caused the “pause” in videos is better or getting better. Can’t wait to see the charger again. It’s a big motivation in getting me off my ass and started on my ‘68 charger and my ‘68 satellite both of which I grew up in the back seats of. You do awesome work and you make it look easy. More importantly you give the DIY’er like myself confidence that we can do these cars without having to turn them over to a shop and spend $80-$100k. Look forward to future videos brother.

I would love to have all the old junk you cut off this car lol my barracuda is really that bad haha

Consider keeping the rear buckets original. Mini tubs look like they'll be real pain...kinda like pealing an union. You find one thing to modify, then find two more issues. You still can squeeze some decent rubber in the factory buckets. Just my opinion. Keep 'um coming, brother!!

Looks fantastic mate from what I've seen you you do so far the tail panel won't be nothing to u bro

Nice work. Too bad about the back glass.

Is it possible to just mount a factory frame rail inboard an inch or more to give your wheel more room? You can kick out at the bumper mounts and narrow the fuel tank where needed. You may also have to slice and dice the floor pan to line up with the new location.

Well. The window is out.😢

I was just thinking I hope you don't break the rear glass and pop it went. I would of walked away and few bad words would of been said. I wander what going in for a power plant

Great content as always. Quick question. That rear window bracket on the quarter panel, the one on the outside that holds the rear part of the regulator assembly. Did you preserve the original or were you able to locate and source one? This big dummy (commenter) may have cut both of his and is considering pilfering the one out of his 72 in hopes of future availability.

Man all that metal replacement.. when it's all said and done it probably won't be more than 10% original

Love your videos so don’t get me wrong here 😎 one day your working on the 68 Charger, next day your not, what’s up with that, when we going to see the 68 Charger again ?

Oh, my is that a Rotacut spot weld cutter 10:09 lol . I'm not sure I mentioned it in another Video but Front header of Barracuda is sub lime green and rear panel of charger happen's to be same color sub lime color or is that the way u planned it 🙃

Question - why wouldn't you media blast the body first to get rid of scale & better assess the condition?

I've seen cars in way better shape than that that people would send to the crusher because they just couldn't be bothered to fix them. Either that or put so much filler on them they're more plastic than metal, and it shows. It's encouraging that guys like you take these Classic Cars and breathe new Life into them where others, like I said, can't be bothered...by the way, whatever became of the Convertible...that Blue one you had?

I thought T-bone wanted a Mustang? Lol.

El canal Jorge ordoñez muy bueno el tuyo también se opoyan los dos Sergio ? saludos

What kind of grinding wheel are you using to grind out the spot welds?

To my untrained eye, loos like most of those quarters were still useable. Seems like you could have cut much less metal out. Is it just the camera making things look better than they really are?

Love the show. What gauge metal to use for patch panels..?

Love this awesome 👌....is there gonna be anymore videos coming with the Charger

Are you going to be mini-tubbing the cuda?

Did you buy a spot welder for this build?

I am watching your videos as I work on my '73 Cuda. I am concerned that when I take the torch to the roof seam, it will warp the roof panel. Anything I need to know to prevent that?

Are these customer cars or are u restoring them for yourself? Great work, love the details

The car had it's revenge by exploding that window at you. I just cannot see why all that metal needed to be removed. It no longer is a 'Cuda but a resto mod. Shame.

Back glass scared the shit outta you! 😅

I was just thinking I hope you don't break the rear glass and pop it went. I would of walked away and few bad words would of been said. I wander what going in for a power plant
