Building a Bobby Isaac Daytona Nascar out of an abandoned Circle track Charger

[@wkrick]

I live for the custom fabrication and metal work. More of this, please.

[@MrGixxer1300r]

Chris you are living the life brother. When your not fixing someones toy charger, your building a cool toy for yourself, and at your skill level everyone watching is learning something worth knowing. Thanks for bring us along for the ride. Keep up the awesome content.

[@musclecarczarig4003]

By far one of the coolest builds going on right now!

[@joebacarella2829]

I know building this stuff is your passion, I can`t believe a millionare hasn`t approached you, bought a shop, with 3 or 4 Charger jigs, and are making 68 -69 Charger bodies for 50-60k apiece, I bet you could make a 1m in the first year, but then again, I think you would be bored. your bead rolling looks fantastic, and the pentastar, through the roof. your metal skills are just insane, the adjustable leaf spring risers off the top of your head, crazy talent. You the man.

[@richardleser6505]

Nice Pentastar Mullet saver!

[@CHIPNDEATH]

"JunkerUp, Days of Thunder" awesome project.. Hope will be Manual Transmission,,

[@briscoeparanormal7178]

I have a 71 that I’ve had since 1980, and of course I’m a Petty Fan, I came dam near doing his 71, Petty Blue and I let my old buddies talk me out of it but if I ever wanted to make a street car into a stock car it would of been The Kings 71, it was t that crazy, it was Plum Crazy, like that’s not nuts, hahaha. Do what you want it’s your wheels, Bobby Isaac’s car is bad ass, can’t wait to see it dome Chris, keep us up to date.

[@BillyJoeJimBob28]

I was on the edge of my couch when Chris was about to name his build. Was it Richard Petty? Jack McCoy..? Who tf is that? 😂 Then I heard you wanted to paint it in ur uncle's colors. 👍 Cool 😎 That will be awesome! 1st Nascar race I ever went to was Firecracker 400 in Daytona, 1970. I was 15, so #71 car was there. 😋 This is fantastic series Chris, you da Man!

[@MrEngineman69]

Some guys back in the day cut up drive shafts and made roll cages ,like I said back in the old days 👍🏻

[@vincentenk4449]

Damn this is awesome! Yes, you DO need a shop!

[@tunguntied]

Dude... I love your work!!!! You need a shop so bad!!! I was thinking king that long before the rain, btw. I would be down for a Daytona/Superbird clone street car... 😀

[@realmaindrianpace]

I love the idea of a Birdsong NASCAR Daytona of my very own. If you do go into production, I may just have to get in line.

[@petespanel]

Great video Chris.

[@rayhope7957]

The thunder in the background while showing the Vega hatch to Daytona rear window adaption was icing on the cake!

[@99goat99]

You've come a long, long way, Chris. I've been with you since the first video series on Patina - remember making that frame patch on the driver's side front, over the wheel? I knew you were special back then. You're so self-taught, you do things your own way, ignoring the cries of the purists. Soon, they will come to YOU for the "new" way of doing things. I'm sure it's happened already.

[@deopersad2915]

So awesome 👍🏽👍🏽 can't wait for second or third of this build and see it running 👍🏽👍🏽

[@travisshephard5491]

So freaking awesome! Can't wait for part 2. You do some awesome work. And I agree building race cars can be way more fun because you don't have to worry about it being accurate to factory. Just build it functional and cool looking.

[@oldschool6345]

LOL "I need a shop" ... yep... a whole bunch of viewers have said it for years now... but hey better late than never! Daytona looks like it's coming along well. Keep on showing it as you go! Thanks for sharing

[@benshore7357]

Good times. Best kind of Video with cutting rusty metal 🎉

[@renn9069]

Pure enthusiasm and natural extreme craftsmanship

[@mohawk2185]

Chris, you don't have to guarantee perfection and time.... I been watching with cold drink and sammich near by for 4 years. I stay hungry for fast fun and foolery(3Fs from here on out) I KNOW THAT YOU GOT THIS RIGHT DOWN TO THE BROKEN WING(last race) ON THE '71 ISSACS FUN HAVER BEAST.....

[@darrenbrisson4336]

Thatll be an awesome build chris cant wait to see it finished

[@nelnova]

This is the most bad ass build to date ! the hell with all those show car high dollar builds. This is it ! love it

[@dannycurtis1744]

[@DavidJones-hl5om]

Chris, you got nothing but talent. You got more energy than 3 men. Always thinking 🤔 of ways to make the Chargers Better and unique.

[@motoroney]

[@westcoastdodge]

[@babbalonian2]

[@kyle8952]

Can't wait to see more of this. And yeah, I would've cut that cage out too. Stronger and lighter is more better.

[@MrWoodshoes]

Couldn't agree more, with a hoist and a assembly table ! Your enthusiasm is addictive, wish I lived closer and was a little younger, I would volunteer to help and also learn. This is going to be a great build, never give up !

[@kramer26]

[@shazbotnanu7037]

Someone needs to get this man a real shop so he can really put some work out without weather delay. I can't imagine working in Vegas heat

[@craig7343]

Going to be amazing man.👌👌👍

[@joethepirate1]

I could watch you build these all day long. The more you do them the better you're going to get.

[@1965lostboy]

amazing work a real pleasure to watch and learn from keep the videos coming

[@GOOF2ooo]

Nothing like cooking some breakfast and drinking some Sam Adam's October fest. And watching your videos. Maybe one of these days I'll get a chance to watch you race the modified.

[@markwaltrip8960]

Why my favorite cars don't care for red but I love that car for some reason Bobby Isaac was a hero of mine when he went out to the Bonneville and set all the records love your work😊

[@biglakehotrods381]

Gonna be a pretty sweet replica. Perfect car to do it to. She’s rough baby. But right up your alley.

[@shanewright6958]

The car is coming along nicely 👍👍

[@MatthewFocke]

Thanks for sharing…

[@mrpurcountry]

Chris you are a wizard at this stuff never stop doing what you love.

[@RBCharger]

If I never peeked ahead, by the fifteen minute mark I would have thought the video would end with no car left and just a huge pile of metal on the ground. That roll cage must have been scared shitless thinking "if this is the way he treats vintage sheet metal, I dread what is going to happen to me".

[@Blowinshiddup]

Looks like another channel locked in, thanks to Newbern sending me over... The way Chargers have climbed in value, I wish I had latched onto that abandoned one up in northern New Brunswick back in the 80s. It looked complete except for motor and trans. Shame. I still think about it, and looked for it but the yard was cleaned up long ago...

[@liambennett76]

this build is so awesome! you definitely need a shop to work in though now!

[@butcher390]

Good Christ ‼️ That original roll cage was , 0.120" wall thickness ??!! I do prefer , your mechanical vision for this project , Chris 🙏 I absolutely 💯 love those , Front & rear clip improvements

[@DadsTrucksBarn]

Dude I love it I always like watching these old race car built I love I'm like you I like the old school NASCAR don't care anything about modern-day NASCAR I loved watching that episode of all those old race cars when you were going through the weeds I loved it I was glad to see you grab that I just find it super cool seeing the old race cars I love old race cars so keep working on them

[@josephmcdonald5369]

Great work Chris, love this content, the transformation is just amazing.

[@syman9556]

Good job man!!

[@jughtful]

[@donlandenberg8126]

[@anthonyshelton6786]

[@shanekippa8507]

Always look forward to seeing your work can’t wait until the next episode on this beast

[@randyhamilton2863]

Awesome Bro 😎

[@craigwalker4211]

Great project Chris looking forward to seeing the build, I did a similar thing to a 2 Dr 72 ford cortina MK3 here in the UK from a road car during COVID , these were never raced in anger in the UK ( unlike the 60's mk1-2 version) even though they were the sales leader during the 70's. Even though I have several other good examples in my collection ,this one is the most fun as I don't have to care about the paint work, panel gaps, or correct parts. Just thrash the living daylights out of it!!

[@gullreefclub]

I would seriously consider ultra-sounding the tubes of that roll cage to make sure that the tubing does not have rusty crusty spots In making that roll cage as useful as one made from cheap Chinesiam muffler tubing. Many years ago I purchased three dirt track chassis that had been sitting behind this old boys barn for about 5 years along with a with a garage full of parts when he lost interest in racing (actually his wife forced his losing interest but that is another story);Anyway I thought I had scored big picking up the parts and what appeared to be three well built late 1980’s MonteCarlo’s that was until I started looking a little closer and noticed the bottoms of pretty much every tube in the roll cages had slight bulge in them. I the drill a small hole in the several tubes and struck rusty water. I borrowed a ultra-sound machine from a buddy who did tech inspections for NHRA and several other series/sanctioning bodies and found that the bottom 2 feet of most every piece of tubing was junk because they were all rusting from the inside out.

[@bradleymadosh911]

Chris you are amazing at what you do. I would love to do type of work. Last your i got to put some wheel wells on a Chevy pickup truck it was a 2000 and something cant remember but it turn out awesome. Now i wantnto do more it got me hooked.after it was done you couldn't tell it was ever rusted out.

[@r3drocket659]

This thing is going to be so sick dood! Amazing work man, I absolutely love you videos!

[@brianz426]

Really nice work, looking forward to seeing more.

[@Stevop79400]

Dude! You always make the big jobs look and sound so easy. Very impressive work my friend. Only come with experience. So amazing.

[@michaelsidhu4079]

Awesome build Chris. Save those original 70 fenders and use some AMD panels instead.

[@soulcontractor1641]

Chris " Good Job " Dude!

[@Chevchild]

Bring it Chris !
