1968 Dodge Charger Restoration - Episode 41 - QA1 Suspension & Wilwood Brake Install

[@ritskevandermeer]

Thanks for bringing the charger back to the channel. I watched every episode of all cars on your channel and learned so much more about metalwork ! About the colour , charger red , black interior , black R/T stripes and a black vinyl roof. Would match the calipers ! Greetings from Holland

[@malclimpson4291]

I love how you bring these rare classics back to life from me in Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️

[@HammerPowered]

I like the idea of Plum Crazy for the color. Not sure why, but I think it fits for how crazy far this car has come. I remember the first videos when you drug it out of that yard in Ohio.

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

That would be cool!

[@fixinanddoinstuff2134]

I second plum crazy

[@kylebinkley7031]

B5 blue would look amazing on that car.

[@scottbaldwin515]

B5 is nice but QQ1 is a correct color for 68. B5 didn’t come out until 69 I believe.

[@GerardoBustamante-p9z]

Are you using cord and steel for those upper trail arms just wanna know may have to do the same

[@mikerainville6168]

Pearl B5 blue would look awesome on it.

[@toddhendley67]

68 Charger & 71 Cuda. My two favorite MOPARS. If you can do a 67-69 Fastback Cuda...please please do so!

[@MillCreekFabShop]

WOW, I am like you, I cannot stop looking at it. If viewers are seeing this car for the first time I recommend watching the playlist of this build to really appreciate this current video. Absolutely amazing Dave. Looking forward to seeing more of this one.

[@larrylegend1255]

100% I’m watching because of this car. Essentially have watched since the first episode episode

[@MillCreekFabShop]

@@larrylegend1255 heck yeah. I have been watching since day one too. It started when he lived 30 miles from me in Ohio. Wish he was still here.

[@Jdwescott]

This is gonna be a bad ass Charger,I really enjoy watching guys like you and Birdsong bring these cars back to life.

[@luiscarlosdasilvanasciment3760]

Great work....beautiful landscape in the background...a big hug,here in Brazil we love the Chargers.....

[@CovenGraphics]

It is your car, you put the hard work into it, paint it your favorite color; you earned it!

[@colinrayne7403]

I think It would look sick in black cherry with chrome finesh and you logo on the bonet

[@jeffreyclemente9348]

Thanks to you, you give me the confidence to do this to my 68 with my son one day. Id say a nice gunmetal grey or the midnight blue that looks blue in the sun but black far away

[@michaeladamo1188]

I can’t blame you it looks incredible! I would not be able to stop staring at it myself! You have every right to be proud of your work and the car! Remember B3

[@roywaite5793]

Had a buddy that had a 69 painted Turquoise with black vinyl top. Loved that combo on that car. 2nd choice is yellow with black vinyl top & black stripes

[@ralfcremers9477]

I already thought you had suspendet the Charger. Luckily you have it back on the channel. As a suggestion for the color i like gun metal gray. Greetings from Germany

[@larrylegend1255]

Midnight Blue. Great example is the Charger on Christine.

[@jmendo2546]

1968 Charger in Christine is QQ1 blue in 1969 code was B5 blue same color. Your midnight blue is B7 dark blue

[@bradsrestorations1085]

Replacement of front frame rail nut- EXCELLENT. You are moving forward quickly. Keep up the good work.

[@chuckypaonita7974]

I was really missing this car, I'm glad you are back on it, the view of the mountains are amazing

[@steveg2017]

I have always like the B5 blue !

[@tomswindler64]

Nice,car is gonna be a looker.glad to see your youngest son still being involved with build of the car.great video as always.just keep doing what you do best.be safe.😎😎😎👍👍👍

[@malcolmhamilton5200]

Wow you're getting good at these QA1 installs. That 9 3/4" Dana 60 looks so good located in there, ready for those even bigger meats and all the torque you can send it. That's the kinda of want, to dominate the muscle car wars, Mopar had back then. To basically install a dump truck axle into those highest torque Hemi and big block cars was so much more than GM and Ford were willing to do. Very satisfying watching you repair that captured nut in the front frame rail. Spun a couple of those loose over the years on M & J bodies. Rack up one more vote for metallic plum crazy with an extra shot of flakes, but then that's my age, remembering when these were new and rust free used and at every car show, drive in, track and street meet, making everything else feel ugly. There's also part of me that loves the wild yellows, with the black stripes, but it was more the 70' Chargers that look so good in that colour. The 70' Road Runner's rear script, in black on it's trunk, against the wild yellows was just epic, particularly back in the day when fonts like that had never been used on cars before. Started a whole new industry of stick on lettered brand name call outs for the aftermarket. Every kid had his rear quarters stickered up with "Plymouth" or "Chevy" in a contrasting colour in huge letters. All that stuff was new back then. The number of tilted, slanted and badly installed ones was huge. Admittedly I had to pull another rear window out of the attic and replace the one in my Cooper S when I somehow installed the FM station's huge sticker upside down. Good luck on the blast and with the colour choice. What colour do your kids like for it? Malcolm Ottawa Valley

[@Derek.753]

This car will make the colour look good.

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

I agree!

[@stevengullison410]

Happy for you and your boy. Sure you guys have a lot of hours in it

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

More than I’d like to admit!

[@JobOffers-qc9tt]

Q5 Turquoise, White tail stripe. white interior. Use the highback buckets from a 1970 Charger. so much more comfortable than 68s and 69s and looks better. i had them in my 69 charger. you will need that support with that power and 4 speed.

[@garryhatchett775]

Nice work

[@CrankAddict]

I love the way the old Convo Pros look on those old cars (and Centerline Auto/Drags). I think someone is making replica Auto/drags in 17" sizes, but I don't know about the Convo Pros. I've got the Convo trucks on my '73 Jimmy.

[@davidbisnette7673]

Well I guess your going with Black since you are going with the black calipers, can’t go wrong with Triple Black, great work on the channel !

[@PinoLimoli]

Bright Blue QQ1, just about to do my 68 that colour. Luv your videos 😊

[@codydutton9976]

Hey man, big fan of you work. Not looking to pick it apart or call you out, but at 4:41 you slid the seal on the spindle and then installed the hub. In my experience, that seal should be pressed into the hub and slid on the spindle as an assembly.

[@scottkovacs7634]

She's so pretty love the work that you put into her. Can't wait to see what color you pick to paint it. I think it would look awesome in yellow and a black R/T strip on the back

[@davidb0126a]

I really like your new intro! Very creative. 👍👍

[@seanposey9708]

Awesome to see the Charger being worked on again! As for colour, I love the bright Mopar colours from that era so my first choice would be Plum Crazy Purple with a white tail stripe and a white interior. My second choice would be Panther Pink with a black tail stripe and a black interior. Avoid the oh so common colours like black, red, silver, and blue that you see all the time. Do something not so common and make the car really stand out. Cheers from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

[@TheLooper0]

Plum crazy! Black interior.

[@samperras]

Looks good in black

[@tobbepersson3593]

Satin black with centerline convo wheels and hoosier tires👌🏻

[@derekanderson472]

F-15E Primer Gray, 🤘 for life! Loving the channel!!!

[@tallica8145]

About bloody time you got back onto this!!!! Cheers from australia.

[@toms1348]

Plumb Crazy Purple...quintessential Mopar Muscle paint.

[@Cat-Privilege]

I went to a local car show today saw a very nice 66 Coronet that once sold at the Barret Jackson Auction in a factory pale yellow with black interior that looked very bad ass. Same color combo as the 69 Charger they crashed into the train in Dirty Mary & Crazy Larry which I am still traumatized over all these years later. But she's gonna be cool no matter what color you pick. Old Chargers Rule & God bless.

[@tylerbarrett6652]

So nice to see you back on the 68 Charger... my favorite of your fleet. Thanks for sharing what is sure to be a classic masterpiece with us.

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Thanks for the kind words & for watching! 😎🤙

[@ladeseddy5994]

I had a black 68 Super Bee. It was a sharp car. I see you are going to have to change the marker light cutout in the rear quarters for a 68. (round style)

[@brianandglendaharkin9457]

Paint it HOT MUSTARD with a black bumblebee 🐝 stripe across the rear now that’s a Muscle car colour . 👍🏻🇦🇺.

[@SeanJoseph-s2s]

Looks very nice .....good content and thanks 🔧👍

[@r3drocket659]

Fuck yeah bro! Stoked to see her on all fours. Sparkley bright orange with a white or black rt strip!

[@nickcataldo]

Destroyer grey if you plan on a little bit modern wheel combo and modern hemi. That would be an awesome restomod combo.

[@ellisbartlett2942]

So glad to see you back working on this beauty. A deep metallic purple will surely make this work of art stand out.

[@barrydevlinred]

She looks amazing mate truly. Fantastic my votes still for 13354 qq1 blue

[@rangercwgbear6352]

Can’t wait for watching this I know it’s been delayed but there that old saying good things come to those things that wait can’t wait

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Agree!

[@DJ_Driven]

Wow looks very close to the car I tore up the streets in when I was a teenager except the rear quarter panels are all there and just missing the N50 15s 😂

[@moritzbramreiter7104]

My vote is on dark blue!

[@johnchristiangrimstad9427]

when I see the car as it is now. I'm thinking matt black with chrome details.. ps! like to see charger come back to life

[@GerardoBustamante-p9z]

We’re trying to do the same thing car even looks the same. He has a 318 we’re going on 440 and we want to do the Dana two and the same thing QA in front takes time and money. You have more time and money. Good job you’re doing great.

[@bobbymckinney1264]

Beautiful charger cant wait see you driving it,black would be awesome on the car my pops had black on black 68 charger you done some awesome work

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Thanks for watching!

[@TheREALJosephTurner]

"Lt. Dan! You got new legs!" Not sure about color, but if you can find a wider version of those exact wheels, BAM!!!

[@daleprice8161]

Hey Dave..I have 2 suggestions as far as color ..one is a real dark gray met with a slight tint of black ...or pearl white with a candy silver tint met both would look kick ass on the car

[@trevorpennington2346]

top build !!!! one of my fave colours is winchester grey ,im pretty sure its a plymouth colour for 71 or 72

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

That’s the color I’m painting the 71 Cuda. I love it too!

[@SS_Roberto]

Satin black ... of course 😁😁👍🏻👍🏻

[@CramouGameMaster]

black with a red stripe in the back

[@carolegeorge7333]

A friend of mine had a 1968 Dodge Charger it was turquoise and white from the factory That was one of the sharpest cars I'd ever Seen Nowadays I think they call it electric but it was an original 1968 Color

[@scottbaldwin515]

QQ1 Bright Blue Metallic 😊

[@bigbfelts]

Hemi orange or plum crazy purple.keep up the good work brother.

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

😎🤙

[@buffdoc46]

I forgot you put bigger wheel wells. It needs bigger meats 🍖 Looks fabulous 👌 👏 👍

[@russclewley6945]

Black Satin with Gloss details!

[@ckane510]

Love these videos! Keep them a comin’👍

[@chrissiebeneck3294]

Dang! Super bummed about it not going green, but I can understand. Personally, I would think the oddest/most out there random Dodge color would be the winner, outside of gold that is, or beige. No landau top either.

[@JustMoparJoe]

Great progress, buddy! You’re gonna need all that fancy suspension when the powerplant falls in ⚡️🚀

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Let’s gooooo! 😎🤙

[@danielmclaughlin7732]

plum crazy purple

[@benjaminallen4678]

Definitely gun metal grey with black rear stripes!

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Now we’re talkin!

[@chestercribb9075]

Midnight metallic blue paint color for the dodge charger

[@joevergnetti767]

As an aside, I remember when you were like one of the first houses. Now there’s an entire neighborhood around you. Hope you and your family are doing well, and I hope your neighbors are car peeps!! 😂

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Yep! Full of houses!

[@MikeJBlues]

Looks awsome 👌, B5 Blue for the win 🏆

[@autonomous_collective]

DONT LOWER IT ANY! Ride height or up an inch or two.

[@davidback6192]

I would do red with black interior.

[@vernejohnson8589]

Look up Mopar plum purple, it's a color particularly for dodge cars . Verne Johnson

[@jamiemineer4879]

1971 Citron Yella or new Frostbite Blue

[@josephrohn4780]

Awesome job on the charger! No color is more beautiful than black when done right!

[@greenshovel]

this is the car that brought me to your channel… plum crazy with satin black would look amazing.

[@Part-timeMoparcollector]

B5 Blue

[@randallfelber6795]

I vote white with red bumblebee tail stripe, red interior....

[@RoverWaters]

dark green, like bullit

[@vernejohnson8589]

Hay bud, I've been thinking about a color for the charger, but I need to know something's like what color will the interior be, and what will the wheels look like, possibly you may need a custom color, I'm thinking about it I promise, but what ever the color it must be a special color for that car, if I think of something I'll let you know, thank you for the great video keep up the good work. Verne Johnson

[@rodypma6051]

KK-1 Light Turquoise.

[@juliuscullum6596]

Plum crazy purple that's the color.

[@JustMoparJoe]

Facts!

[@jimzerner5229]

Paint it Panther Pink!!!

[@jmendo2546]

Red with black bumble bee R/T stripe

[@narcosis141]

Did you manage to sort the split in the chassis rail?

[@brianclaridge7695]

Old English White 👍

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

That would be cool!

[@michaeladamo1188]

That’s an awesome setup with the wilwoods! Did you get a deal on this stuff from a marketing deal? And the color is B3 inside and out

[@chuckeecheese162]

She’s going to be fantastic. 🍻😎

[@brianendlich2218]

satin black!

[@marcelkottek8187]

What about destroyer Grey? Thats what I have on my hellcat❤

[@micaelskoldqvist8854]

Black💯

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Yes!

[@jimm8465]

Is there a kit or can you weld on steel plates to the front a rear stamped steel uni body frame rails ?

[@jaysgarage8648]

Plum crazy purple with a flat black hood

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

😎🤙

[@JustMoparJoe]

👍🏼 yes!

[@jakebhamra1081]

I respect u man ❤️

[@donsmith6045]

That son of yours is getting to be quite the gear head!

[@robjohnson3376]

Like I said the last time I used them was 20 years ago, I didn't like them I thought the calipers where very weak compared to my 6 pot AP's, They just weren't beefy enough it that make sense and would suffer brake fade on track even though I tried several different types of pad, My AP brake's were bullet proof. The much newer ones you have look a lot stronger and you've clearly had good results, I was just sharing my own experience that's all mate.

[@randyravage7873]

How is the turning radius with the qa1? I have a 69 charger and would like to use 15x 8.5 on the front.

[@000nikko]

Electric Blue

[@jakebridgetimpastato5622]

Silver or destroyer grey!

[@russellfinney8804]
