1969 Charger is sent to another shop episode 7

On this video we wrap up our part of the work being performed on the 1969 Dodge Charger. I go over the work we did do on this car and still a lot of the work that will have to be addressed when it arrives at the next shop.

I know what it like working with the car and motorcycle owners. I had a motorcycle shop and an auto repair show. With years of experience, you can tell from the owner what kind of person they are. When the red flags came up before I started the project, I told him I was too busy to do the job. Rick, you were totally professional.

[@carthageclassiccars]

Thank you very much it really does mean a lot especially from someone that has been there before.

[@martinmoreno2597]

Brian, too bad that the owner doesn't understand all the hard work that takes to fix one car like this, your job is outstanding! hope to buy one charger and you can restore it!

[@carthageclassiccars]

Thank you very much and that would be really cool to be able to build one for you.

[@slowjoe]

Your work is excellent. You can work on my car all day. A real good craftsmen. So sorry he didn't appreciate your skills. Brian

[@carthageclassiccars]

Thanks a lot Brian, I learned a long time ago some will not be happy with the work no matter what you do for them. I can sleep at night knowing he was the one that got a fair deal and lost it. I would rather build for people that I feel deserve it anyway and I am lucky to be able to do that now with this one gone.

[@themillsvideos1556]

This is professional level work. Too bad the owner doesn’t know what it takes to restore a rust bucket. That’s some outstanding work you did, and I love those curves and lines on the car. I feel sorry for the next shop that has to deal with the owner.

Owner wants to fix it and sell it. Doesn't want quality work. Owner doesn't care what the buyer gets.

[@NDB390]

Owner was looking for value and you offer quality. Parting ways was the best choice.

[@josecampos1277]

Carthage classic cars how much money did the owner invests on material and labor when you returned the car? Also where are you located?

[@jackpalczynski7884]

Great explanations all around. From setting up your tig and setting up panels to dealing with long distance owner who can't just come over after work to see that there's 30 more hours of work needed on a section that couldn't be seen until pulled apart and on a lift. Not doing quotes is an honest way to work. A quote on a car like this Charger is just a guess and either you're going to have to call and tell them that you have to double the quote or the work has to have short cuts which it looks like you would not do. I tell ya.....if I had one of these cars, I'd put it on a trailer, bring it to you, leave you enough money to get started and then send money every week to cover your work. Getting it done right is the way to do this and YOU know how to do it right. I really respect your work.

[@carthageclassiccars]

Thank you so much for the really kind words, understanding and really the whole propose and what I want the channel to portray. There is too many scripted shows on TV that are entertaining and give a false sense on this industry and it usually doesn't work out that way. There are also honest people in this business and all we hear about is the horror stories from these shops. The hourly rate is what I feel like you said a guess.

[@oacumulador]

Its a shame the owner does not appreciate your quality standard

[@carthageclassiccars]

Thank you. It really means a lot you see it!

[@buffdoc46]

Because of your excellence and extremely precise work, you have no reason to explain anything. Your great work is very obvious to all of us. Money is obvious when in restoration. You get what you put in. Keep bringing these classics back to life. Sorry it had to go this way.

You did an amazing job. I have not commented the previous episodes, but after watching the whole restoration, I had to congratulate you for the result. I would give you a whole restoration project. The Charger 1969 is my fav car. I feel your deception about not finishing the restoration. Its sad the owner had another opinion on how to repair the front quarter panel. Thanks for the great work of art. You deserve a million views.

[@rikubot]

This is great. I’m sure you know the anatomy of a b-body way too well by now. My Charger had a lot of this done to it as well but also roof and full quarters. And then done again after the first shop did it incorrectly. Awesome job!

[@carthageclassiccars]

Thank you and really sorry to hear the job was done wrong the first time on your charger. I hear that all too often and have had to go in behind other shops to fix some messed up work.

[@markcollins457]

I've been a Mopar fan for years, that said Mopars were ahead in engineering compared to other manufacturers but the bodies fell short as far as drainage and rust protection. The dollars spent back in the 60's and early 70's went into body style changes to keep them fresh and all the new government standards that all manufacturers were dealing with. Your work is better then the factory would ever allow(not profitable). You are a gentleman handing off this unfinished car to another shop. Unfortunately the finished product will have some else's signatures but if the other shop is worth there weight they will acknowledge craftsmanship when they see it!😊

[@carthageclassiccars]

Thank you very much for the feedback and the stuff you said about my work. I agree with you 100% about where Mopar was on their styling and where some corners were cut to keep cost down on these car. Really they were never designed to withstand the test of time and we see that anytime you get your hands on an untouched one. As far as the other shop its all good if they finish it out they deserve it as there is still a lot of work ahead.

[@josephlemieux5981]

I’m very impressed by your work and dedication to do the right thing. You’re right in saying that when people are requesting a 100% rust free job, they have no clue on what that kind of work entails, they only see the outside. As far as the Charger guy, I’m sure it’s not first nor the last time you’ll have a customer like that. Again, great work and thanks for sharing your knowledge and journey with us!

[@carthageclassiccars]

Thank you very much I really appreciate the feedback!

[@markkushba1335]

That car had/has a lot of rot not just rust, but rot. You did a great job repairing what you did. The owner in my opinion is making a huge mistake in having someone else finishing the job.

[@carthageclassiccars]

Thank you very much, if nothing else the car is one of the most rust free solid chargers you will find at this point since most everything is new.

[@MoeStewart]

Man you do amazing work! I don't understand the guy bickering over a few hundred dollars when the car would be worth so much if done right! Thanks so much for taking the time to video all your work and show how its done, it must be a pain with the cameras and editing and stuff.

[@carthageclassiccars]

Thank you so much, yes a lot of times while working you have to think about camera angle without effecting the job or time it takes. On jobs I film usually the camera is always running and late night I usually sit down and take a small portion of everything usually going on and hope I caught it all. Still working on the editing as I think that is where the message and story is actually told.

[@jnucleo]

I'm honestly blown away at the level of repair these old Chargers are receiving these days. I imagine they are becoming restomods and selling for six figures. Crazy. I bought a '69 Charger R/T for $850 back in 1989 and it had no where near the level of frame rust that this one had. I recall replacing the trunk floor and rear valance panel. Great job on the restoration work. These cars do represent a high point in America when everything was still possible, though things were already starting to decline.

[@carthageclassiccars]

Thank you very much! A lot of hard work went into it. Honestly I have it a little easier then you did in 89 as the market sees the value in these cars now. They make so many more panels and the quality has gotten so much better where this build wasn't possible 25 years ago.

Thank you and Yes I feel no matter what if you always follow the owners wrong decisions you get blamed anyway. Its a lose lose situation and I don't work like that in this case I trusted someone to eventually make the right decision and let me do it my way with how the rest of the car turned out but that was not the case. Also this decision with the car moving on had nothing to do with the videos as the car was in the owners possession for a couple weeks before both of the videos were published.

[@willconnor9712]

You did an amazing job under the circumstances. It's not a RT or Hemi, but still a high dollar car when restored. You just don't take shortcuts on a high dollar car and maybe the owner doesn't understand that. The work you did brought back a lot of life to this classic.

They think its easy and cheap, but the truth is its faster and easier to build a house than to restore a car properly. Sure there are cheap ways of doing things but their cheap for a reason.

[@carthageclassiccars]

I agree 100% with your statement especially when some people see the car they are trying to restore all "finished" and for sale for 1/3 cheaper then where they will be cost wise. What some don't understand is what corners were cut to get there. Thanks for sharing your feedback.

[@brianhurst8857]

Your video was very informative. Your work was impeccable and the outcome is amazing, considering what you started with. From what you've described, you've managed the divergence of opinions between you and the customer as professionally as one could ask for or expect. Hopefully he/she will find someone who will help get this car finished up and back on the street. I think this video and your previous video might serve to encourage more business, rather than less. People who launch into doing a restoration of this magnitude should remember that some of the reasons they're bringing the car to a given shop is they do not have the knowledge, skills abilities or time to do the job themselves, or else they're bringing the car to their selected shop because given their options, that shop is where they believe they will get the best bang for their buck. That said, unless they are obviously getting ripped off by said shop, they need to put some trust in the hands of the craftsmen doing the work. As you've stated, most craftsmen want to do the best job possible, and at the same time meet the customer's needs. That usually results in an enhanced reputation, repeat business and/or referral business. Left me thinking rather than "sending" my Cuda down, I'll invest the time and money to bring the car down so that we can meet in person and allow for a thorough "going over" of it to determine proper course of action and such. I'm particularly interested in how the red Challenger project wraps up, as you had mentioned that was going to be a "driver quality" build...which is what i think I'm looking for, VS a show car that is actively competing for awards and sees very little actually street driving.

[@carthageclassiccars]

Thank you very much for the very kind words and a really good understanding of the whole restoration process in general and the feedback given here. You are 100% correct in everything you stated. I think the most important point you mentioned is the trust on both parties involved. In this industry there has to be a lot of trust dropping what some people consider a prized possession with a connection with a lot of times off with someone who will cut into it. Along the restoration process hopefully I strive to build on that trust. Without that it will be a long road ahead. That is why if I can I always like to meet in person the owners both when the car arrives and when the car is picked up to go over everything and make sure they are satisfied with the work. As you stated its a lot easier to go over every piece we can step by step and figure out the end game as best we can realizing there will be surprises along the way. With the red challenger there is another video coming soon. The owner ran into an issue with a part he was looking for so we put it on hold for the last few weeks until e can get exactly what he wants and needs. From what I heard the part has arrived and should be at my shop within the week. I am excited about getting back going on that one. Thanks again for taking the time on watching and commenting.

[@jimdrechsel3611]

After looking at the videos and seeing the attention to detail you have it seems pretty obvious to me the owner is making a mistake. I’ve had three shops mess up three cars and I wish I had you working on my cars back then.

[@carthageclassiccars]

Thanks, the way I feel about it my conscience is clear on this car, I did the best I could with the options I had. Owner got his car back before this video even came out and I still think he got a good deal on a car most shops wouldn't touch. I am not too worried I would rather spend my time building for people that appreciate it and like most any other time when things go smooth.

[@randyhoepker5528]

If the owner knew more than you about the best and most cost efficient way to repair the car, then he didn’t need you to do it for him-right? Lol 😅 Guess you hurt his feelings in the earlier videos. Restoring a car in this condition is expensive, takes a lot of time, effort and money. I had a Challenger restored like this in the late 80s. I had the shop replace the entire rear clip with the rails and most of the front clip. We acid dipped the body. At that time it was the most extensively restored Mopar muscle car when it was finished in 1990. I used a combo of NOS and clean used sheet metal to rebuild it. It was a lot of work finding all the parts. Kept the car for 33 years. It’s worth about $200k now being a real sunroof model, which is why I put all the effort into restoring it 35 years ago. Most people thought I was nuts. Car was in Mopar Collector Guide magazine twice and was featured in the TV commercials promoting the 2020 Mecum auction that it sold in. Ok so my point is, listen to the guy doing the restoration work, because he is in charge of the success or failure of the job. He knows best. If he doesn’t, don’t hire him in the first place!

[@carthageclassiccars]

I agree 100% with your statement and hopefully lesson learned for everyone. Your Challenger sounds like such a nice ride and I am sure its build quality and how rare it is went to some nice collector that will take really good care of it for years to come.

[@teamidris]

That’s a cracking job. If the owner is a car guy he will be very happy with that. I know I am :o) And now it can be just used, without wondering if next year is the one where it has to have major rust work fixed, because it is all fixed, sealed and painted. I would think your labour costs match the value added into the car by this work.

[@carthageclassiccars]

Thank you very much and agree with you that most anyone can see we took a car that most would consider scrap or for parts only and made it into one that should withstand many more years of enjoyment. I really appreciate the support watching this project and the feedback!

Yes we are lucky now and days where sheet metal companies have really upped the standard in quality on the sheet metal parts. It really has affected the final outcome and quality of the builds. Most of the repairs I see is slapped on filler but thinking back there were almost no options besides that to keep them on the road and they weren't bringing the value at the time to justify paying a custom fabricator to make something.

I enjoy your in depth explanations and the proper way in restoring these cars. I would like to know more about that lift you have. Can you tell me the make? I was looking to get a 4 post but I like how open yours is and how portable. I think that design is better. Would you trust that supporting a full weighted car? How much clearance underneath does it afford? Thanks.

[@carthageclassiccars]

Thanks a lot! The Lift is an iDEAL MSC-6KLP 6,000Lbs Low Profile Mobile Single Column Lift. I think its a good lift a little costly but it does exactly what I need it to do where a stationary lift would hurt my usable space. A week ago I had a full size car engine and everything lifted 3/4 of the way up and it was solid so I do trust it. The downside you have to be aware that it will lift the vehicles up unlevel side to side as it cantilevered but I have used it enough now to adjust the lifting points so the side away from the post is higher. I think the max lift height is 72 inches. It will go taller then my garage will allow.

His loss.

That is exactly my thoughts on this one thanks for watching!

Was this that customers first car project? It sounds like an inexperienced customer.

[@carthageclassiccars]

I believe you might be correct

The way I see it,if you don't want to spend the money to restore a car right,then invest in a goat farm.

[@carthageclassiccars]

Yes I agree , thanks for checking out the videos!

You better THINK TWICE if you’re planning to send your Charger to this shop.

[@carthageclassiccars]

Sir, I have been honest and upfront from the start with your car when it arrived to my shop especially once I saw the parts you sent. Everything went well with your build as it should and I the 2 months I had the car you had nothing negative to say. I gave you weekly updates, invoices, with pictures along with the youtube videos. I continued to perform the work up until the quarter panel install. Before the quarter panel install I sent you multiple emails (also video footage on this channel) also we talked a few times and the same message came from me to you. That message was how this car 100% needs full quarter panels and I can NOT express that enough and if we do these skins the cars quality gaps and fitment will be diminished. I also explained they are not quality and should under no circumstances be installed on this car. I then explained that you will spend more money on the labor alone vs buying a brand new proper set of quarters. I am sorry you are unhappy with the quarter panel install but there is nothing else I could do or say to change the outcome as you made it clear didn't care what I had to say you wanted the car done your way. My only other option was to send the car home with no quarter panels at all and you made it clear that wasn't going to turn out well. You have your car returned to you and I feel you got everything and more for what was paid. At this point I ask that we both can move on before you try and ruin a business I worked hard for a well reputation. I tried my best through all these videos to leave your name and personal information out of this build so please let it go.

You responded, you can cut and paste your response here recently RICK so my fellow Charger owners keep them in the loop. I’m entitled to make comments for what you did to my Charger yes?

What exactly should I "think twice" about? Can you explain what went wrong for you?
