Interior and underneath the car with modern components. disc brakes. put a four speed in it and a sure grip. I'd keep that body just the way it looks except with whatever body repairs that are necessary of course. In fact you know what I would put on the rear quarter? A decal of a "can of worms."

Giasou Nikola, You remind me my 84 year old father. He had the radiator repair shop until cheap Chinese Imports killed the market. Now he gets around in his 1 ton Mitsubishi an collecting scrap metal. He has the garage @ hot all set up do he can take everything apart to make the most money out of scrap. Recently he collected & dismantled 4 industrial size mig welders. Took over 2 weeks to dismantled them but he did to get every kilo of copper out of it. Recently the van did an engine due to my dad overloading the van. Until the van is repaired he is stuck at home arguing with my mum. He said the same thing as you. " He will collect scrap until the day he dies" that's all he knows & the old c saying " If you stop moving you die quicker ". Sad that Leo is going. I tell you what if I was 25 years younger I would pack my bags & come & work with you. " BEST OF LUCK LEO, DON'T BECOME A STRANGER DROP IN FROM TIME TO TIME". Back to the 1970 Charger, I have already christened her " Black Betty ". We know what is installed for the next 2 & abit years. Never a dull moment on Nick's Garage.

At the age of 72 I look back at what I did as a younger person on many an older model car and then I look at how things have changed...wow its like light years different. No setting timing, no dwell, no jet changes. The only difference between you and I is I was a GM & Ford lover especially Chevrolet. Back in high school I drove a 1956 Vette with the original 265 and 3 speed. At one time I had at lease one of every cubic inch motor that Chevrolet ever produced from the 265 to the 454 but I will always love the old 409 Wished I had it all today. Oh BTW my wife is of Greek ancestry, born and raised in Pensacola's Greek Community. Her paternal grandfather was Vassilios Adamopoulos which they shortened to Adams her paternal grandmother was Anastasia Kosmas. He was from Katsarou Messenias Greece and she was from Nision, Kalamata, Greece. I've been to many a Greek gathering and even a Greek wedding which lasted a long time. Thanks for your videos...Tony

Gooood Monday morning, Nick and crew!!!! Once cars get in your blood, it’s HARD to let go!!! 😊 Nick, I’m sure you’ll be able to find someone able and willing to do the body for this car. Leo, you’re a solid young man who will EXCEL in whatever you do: your experience gained with Nick will be invaluable!!! I believe there are plenty of young men anxious to be the next apprentice under Professor Nick, so it’s just a matter of time, and I pray it won’t be long!!! Happy week to you all!!!

For a minute, I thought I’d tuned in to Graveyard Cars by mistake!😂 In all sincerity, Nick’s Garage is the ONLY place I would go and watching this beautiful old Charger restoration will be an entertaining and educational journey for all of us! Thank you Nick and the team 👍🍻🇨🇦🏁

Nick.. you are such a good fellow.. I can see from your face this is not really a project you would have chosen to do.. But as I watch the fellow who owns it.. his joy and excitement I can see why you are doing this.. Your a good man Nick.. God bless you for all that you do for folks. Even when it is not what you really wanted to do... Carry on son.. You really are the man...

Good thing the quarters are both being changed, that full trunk floor won't go in without the quarters being removed first! Sure hope you can find a body shop that will take that on.

We are all happy for Leo but I'll admit it's hard to watch him go.

I hope Leo does well at his new job. My first job out of the Army was working at a Used car dealer. Lots of challenges fixing things as the owner didn't want to put alot of money in cars he was trying to sell. My next job was for a Chevrolet Dealership. They helped me get ASE certified. They sent me to GM school to learn more about repairing cars. I left there for a Mercedes Benz Dealership and worked there for a while until I got another calling that paid better with better benefits. Every time you leave a job that wasn't bad, you miss the people you worked with but also look forward to learning more and meeting new people and challenges. I hope Nick finds another worker to fill the spot left by Leo.

Sorry to see Leo go, but definately understand. That old school approach will stick with him no matter he gets into. Good luck Leo, and Nick I pray you find another apprentice as good and willing to learn.
