What is the illegal and what is the unsafe part of the windshield

ubmastering actually, it gets dicey when there's no windshield at all.

@@UncleTonysGarage I have done unsafe things. That windshield is fine.

@False Flag I agree, Uncle Kathy probably got more than most people will ever know about mechanics of cars... I wish I had an Uncle Kathy...

That is Awesome! Thing is , I know my Brooke would do the same but Dallas County won’t issue marriage licenses now 😡😡

She’s a good wife!

She’s not called uncle Cathy for nothing! Ha ha

He's put a girl in the trunk before.

😀😁😂 ".....leave the gun, take the cannolis......"

It's an airplane ride away bro... 😁

hehe maybe you could buy a Tesla motor and battery and stuff them into an old Fiat or something just to piss off the purists.

@sbrenx you know how to fix that problem right?

God bless America.

Don't fret. I live in Europe, it's not that hard :) Only tough thing is to build an American car as you want it, you're going to have to pay steep prices to USPS, FedEx, DHL and the like. Shipping costs are never less than the value of the items I buy, it's insane. Most insane purchace was a clock for the rear axle of a '49 Buick. Shipping cost me 2000 dollars...

Very true its cool to see cars you can afford, work on your self, and have fun driving

You are so right. And the real stuff like the engines from back in the day are more fun too. I'd rather swing wrenches on a 60's car than stare at a Hellcrate or the like.

there is indeed a middle ground. I had "jalopies" when i had neither the garage to work on in the icy winter, nor the house to store parts i found cheap to use at a later date. Someone else's money pit that i snared for cheap, turned into love-hate relationships--they were great when they worked, fearful when i didn't know if i was going to make it home. I did this before the hobby took off, so i know, solid 340/383 muscle cars got hacked apart to save a Hemi or a 440-Sixer. Those rich dudes are the reason we can now buy parts for everything--supply, meet demand. That said, i'd rather have a fleet of affordable muscle than one $100,000+ show winner i can't drive b/c it's fiscally irresponsible to risk the investment.

60s and 70s mopars are worth a fortune around here. This charger is an easy $10k car as it is. Hell around here 80s mustangs and camaros are $5k to as high as $15k.

@@CamaroAmx i live in the snow belt, so finding something with a rust hole you can't stick a fist thru, is expensive. Tony does mention his Charger is a flooded out Katrina car, so that honesty makes it more affordable. For example, his dimmer switch on the floorboards is stuck, likely b/c the floodwater got that high into it.

They don't flip up at all. They actually flip around. I don't know why they went to a vacuum system in 1968.

I used beer cans to hold mine up before to make it home.

Great sales pitch :)

Surely had no idea about 1st gen Charger. The turn 180 degrees around by an electric motor

When i was young and dumb i was always impartial to them. But ive really fallen back in love with them.

i kept mine,my house is paid off from my toys,i sell them and keep tabs on the same car i sold,most of the guys who bought my old rides,i'd buy them back and resell them,after they ran the hell out of them,thats the main reason i became a master mechanic,a car is either breaking in or worn out,the 1966-67 charger sells itself,masterpiece of design,do a hundred miles an hour all day

@@strattuner nice man

No, Tarantino always uses Chevys

@@michaellehmann2803 Not always.

@@michaellehmann2803 Remember the Challenger and the Charger in Deathproof?

And that makes it very freaking cool!!!!

Yeah, you're right! ;)

you can't learn it--you have it or you don't. unfortunately, its $$ cost tends to kill it in some people--they have it, they can't afford it. Which is why youtube videos are so great. we can ride along in moneypit cars and not have to spend another $1,000 this season to keep it on the road.

I used to use a clear glue (sry cant remember the name, "seals all" maybe? ) that was not affected by gasoline and I would use it to glue a dime to the gas tank to stop any small leaks. It was my ten cent solution to fuel tank leaks. Im sure Uncle Tony would approve lol

JoJo, or leaking from underneath. Its an old car! Sometimes they just start leaking and you don't notice until its parked with a full tank.

@@unclemarksdiyauto been there brother 😅

@@edfrawley4356 car guys always know where to get a cheap fix...good stuff.

@@unclemarksdiyauto But when the leak stops when the gas is half way down then you are good to go. Im saving money only putting 1/2 tank of gas in.

You can fold down the rear panel from inside the trunk. Did it many times for drive ins when I was a kid. Last time we caught my dad paying the guy at the gate for us in the trunk. Turned out he had always been paying for it.

Damn right

Aunt kathy likes it in the rear end

I was thinking the same thing. I bet she could tell us all some really good stories. Lol

Yes, especially the gas tank leaking! Good thing it didn’t drip on the exhaust pipe!

Lol

yeah, like a first gen HumVee

To me this isn't a roach. A roach is something unreliable and slow.

@@MrTheHillfolk no a roach is a left over joint stub that gets you higher than the first half so a roach is fast n dirty in my book have you seen the real ones scurry they ain't slow

You can't light a puddle of gas with a cigarette.

@@The_R-n-I_Guy Pretty sure the fumes 3" above it might though,

I've literally thrown a lit cig down my fuel neck just to prove this to someone. CIGARETTES DO NOT, WILL NOT, AND WILL NEVER, ignite gasoline

UT did a vid on this to prove cigs can’t ignite gas. Pretty cool vid to

He didn’t watch the video

considering the Charger is a flood car from N'awlins, and the beam switch is on the floor...methinks i know why it doesn't work :)

Most people have changed their headlights to more modern lights in classic, collector cars. I have un all mine, and all my friends have too

@@johncholmes643 guess im not "most people" . I own a lot of old cars and have little money, fancy headlights are lower the list.

I don't want them, it completely ruins the look of a classic car lights on or lights off. If they make a set that have the same appearance and same tone of lighting but more powerful I might buy some.

I thought only new cars came with high beams and no turn signals at least that's what's popular here

Yeah lol. I thought that's why he said come on get in quick but I guess he didn't know

@@fomocoloco7172that's exactly what I thought I seen that big puddle and figured he wanted to get out of there in a hurry

That was a good bit

Just water running off after the wash

Notice he didn't get a receipt.My guess is that he put in $20 when it only needed $17.50,lol.

Thinking the same thing...you cant see the wall of fire following you?

Yeah saw that to. I thought that's why he said get in! To leave the scene and not have to clean it up hahaha

I feel you, I’m building my charger on a budget as well.

Watch Roadkill, Roadkill Garage, and Engine Masters. They're all about Mopar and have done RV 440's

@@The_R-n-I_Guy They just did another one, I think all it had was a small cam and made 381hp and 447lbft and it was free. That's also with 7.5:1 compression.

Buddy of mine just picked up a RV with a 440.... Free.

I used to own a 1961 Newport 2 door hardtop with a 361. Someone left water in the radiator over the winter and destroyed the block....long story short...l went to a junkyard and picked up a RV 440 engine and rebuilt it.... Good car, but that 440 always ran on the hot side.

SP392 WOW!

I was talking to a buddy the other day and he asked where I just got my haircut. Oh, it was at my Uncle Katie's 🤣🤣 I about killed myself with laughter on that one 😂

Oh yeah, I bought a bunch of these as complete parts cars for a couple hundred bucks back in the 90's.

Truth.

Yes she is! You should reward her, by letting HER drive it!

Great story! Do you have the pics they took? You "kids" are funny! Ours are 31, 26 and 20 now. I have plenty of pics of them with our cars/trucks over the years. The only time I ever had to chase one of them was when I set our son loose on the garden tractor for the first time...he almost drove it up the side of the barn lol! My wife and I are collecting pics of our twin 4 year old grandsons with the vehicles now.

One of my kids (now 17) got the family minivan in drive, and drove it into the local animal shelter, nearly destroying their deck/wheelchair ramp... Wife desperately trying to open the door as it creeps along... Guess who was the only one laughing during/afterwards...???😂😂

I did the same thing with my Uncle's 68 Plymouth. Parked it on an incline in front of the house and left me in the car. Pulled it out of park and away I went. Engine wasn't running though.

Well, there is a 'Wait, is that what you're asking" moment, there. :)

A friend of mine lost a 53 Packard due to Katrina, i wanted to buy it from him flood or not, but his insurance company administratively “killed” the car by marking title “flood- total loss” it could not be re-titled in Louisiana but could have been brought back to life in a different state, however the insurance company had to physically have custody of the car to write the check. It was likely in the crusher before sundown. There were so many total loss vehicles from Katrina, it was difficult to rescue the collectibles if there was an insurance claim. It was horrible!

My Dad won't even ride in my rust bucket, even though I get lots of thumbs up when I drive it. (Daily driver)

my mother used to lament, my father and i returned from the town dump with more items than we went there with. Now scrap prices are so high, I'll never again return with a waterlogged THM400. I've never had kids, but there's something about an older gearhead riding in his kid's "jalopy". It has to be as heartful as taking the kid to a baseball game.
