Fabricating a CUSTOM tail panel for my 1970 DODGE CHARGER pt.1

Part one of building my custom tail panel for the charger is underway. I'm excited to bring this idea I have had for a while, to life finally. Stayed tuned for part two as I plan on wrapping it up in that video and showing you guys a glimpse of what the tail light itself will look like.

My vote is to put out a video of what you have completed each week, even if the part is not complete we can see your progress. I think this way you wouldn’t feel rushed to get a certain piece completed in order to put out a video. Amazing work as always!!!

[@camracing]

That’s my thought process about it as well, thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it!

[@moesizlac2596]

It has worked for TV for 70 years: pick a day of the week, and a time of that day, and upload it no matter what you got. The ritual will please us and motivate you. Win/win!

[@WayneSpider]

It does not matter if it takes you 30 years to finish this build. Do it right. Dont skimp. We will continue to watch and enjoy.

[@camracing]

No sense is rushing anything…but I’m hoping it won’t take me 30 years😅

[@John-N-541-ym7dx]

Total genius decision to open the rear panel to match the front, simple yet complex design and styling integration that should have been done the the original tail panel.

[@camracing]

I’ve always thought about it haha, I’m able to be able to bring it to life now

[@m4d_mark_xtr3me79]

Agreed, i always thought the square tail lights suited the car better and gave it that classic iconic look 👌

[@keithgriffith6002]

I prefer break up videos. Doing a great job with your car. The content is awesome. I watch a lot of these kinda videos, your work is second to none. Very impressed with your knowledge, skill, patience, and to do this all outta a storage unit. 👊🏻 😊

[@camracing]

I appreciate it, thank you

[@aubreymorris9183]

Haven't missed a video since you were working on the 225 in the duster. Son you just keep doing you, screw everyone else's opinion. As a fellow perfectionist I get the struggle inside your head just trying to build something. With everything else you have going, school, work, a life, etc. on top of having to do everything you want in the hardest possible ways due to the lack of funds for space, tools and materials. Whenever you get around to posting a video, we'll be here to watch it. Don't be concerned about that.

[@camracing]

I appreciate you watching over the past couple of years. Thanks for the feedback too, it’s all being taken into consideration!

[@L88PEX]

First, this build looks awesome, you have some fabricating skills! Second, do what you need to do to put out quality content. The KZbin gurus who say you have to publish every week also make videos that consist of them talking, not fabricating a car from parts. Don't burn yourself out. Third, when you do make a new video, go back to your last one and add it to the end card. That's where I found you, and if I hadn't gone to your page I wouldn't have known about this video. Make it easy for people to watch your stuff. Can't wait for the next installment!

[@camracing]

Thank you, I appreciate all the feedback and advice. Trying to stay consistent and up to date is my biggest goal. I felt like I was, but at some point it has to be stepped up. We’ll give it a shot and see what’s happens🤙

[@MLCAPE]

You actually have a car again not just a roof! I think the solid rear light bar is actually a great Idea. It adds a touch of "modern" to a classic. Ultimately though I feel like that's what a project car is all about, even with my Torino I'm not going to build it to "Factory Spec" I've got some cool Ideas that will make it look quite different and might piss off the Ford fanatics, but it's my car! Ultimately it's the culmination of the time and effort invested into building what you want and crafting a car that is truly yours. I love it.

[@camracing]

It’s the first of many changes that will be made to the appearance. Some ideas I’ve had for a while. I appreciate it man, thank you.

[@GWBergen61]

The beauty of having new ideas is you get to incorporate them into your vision of your car, why run with the crowd when it's better to be your own man, Cheers.

[@slowjoe]

Nice fabrication cal. It's going to look awesome. Proud of you

[@camracing]

Thank you

[@bigospig]

I'll say it again, your vision, talent, patience and dedication are phenomenal! You are in a tiny storage unit without many of the "necessary" tools and resources that many of us think we need, AND you are going through college. I cannot imagine where you will be in 10 years, but it will be leading the field of car crafters.

[@camracing]

Trying to make do with what I have. It’s challenging, but fun. I’d like to think it will make for a good story one day. I appreciate the support!

[@shawnkelley9169]

Turned out great I like your idea of changing About the videos whatever is the easiest for you Always great 👍

[@camracing]

Much appreciated!

[@kbsingleton]

Looks awesome! I like the shorter videos. I see videos that are 60-90-120 minutes and I skip over them usually.

[@camracing]

Haha I’m with you there👌

[@davetyler5597]

I like what you are doing and the way you work! Weekly, works even if you don't finish👍👍

[@camracing]

Thank you. I appreciate the feedback!

[@revolutionautoworks777]

Video is great. The time lapse and the music are great. And I like the charger and the ideas you have for it. Keep up the quality work. Looking forward to seeing it progress.

[@camracing]

Thank you, I appreciate you watching!

[@VATION3RD]

That's cool how you started off sliding in on the roller chair 😅 that reminds me of another KZbinr John Gillman on #shop209

[@patrickfeuillet6878]

Great idea for the tail lights ! Cannot wait to see the result ! Personally the weekly upload suits me fine. Keep up the good work !

[@camracing]

Thank you, I appreciate it!

[@kennethsonier1766]

As far as frequency of videos goes, whatever works out best for you is what you should do. I like the vision you have for the tail lights, you have some remarkable talent. Keep up the great work and the cool videos 👍✌️🇺🇲

[@camracing]

Thank you, I appreciate the feedback and support

[@sethster70]

Gonna say this again, very underrated channel. Very talented young man!

[@camracing]

Much appreciated!

[@scottschuler9547]

Weekend videos would be great I always look forward to seeing your work killer tail lights man awesome idea

[@camracing]

[@camracing]

Thank you, lots of work ahead until we get there

[@notimegarage8632]

I'm not the only one who could watch a full hour of this every week

[@Redfiregtag]

I like your idea for the tail lights its clean

[@roycervantes1341]

69 -70 are my favorite taillights too

[@camracing]

👌

[@roycervantes1341]

👍

[@Lipmonster]

Round ones remind me of Chevy tail lights. Keep up the great work. I gotta 70. See it in my profile?

[@paulgilson9876]

Nice job ..cool idea with tail lights..

[@camracing]

Thank you

[@Amxracer]

Cool 😎. Love the motivation,drive and vision !

[@lenniedyer3765]

What a great job. You are an inspiration to us home garage fabricators. Keep it up.

[@camracing]

I appreciate you following along!

[@roycervantes1341]

Awesome video Cam Racing, I was really looking forward to this video, Yeee

[@camracing]

Thanks for watching as always!

[@mosburgz]

attention to detail is always the winner. enjoying the progress.

[@yeahbuddygarage]

Killer work man! I'm going to be pumping out daily videos when I start on my '88 OBS to see how those videos do. I also love the crew at AMD 😎

[@camracing]

Thanks! I’ll be on the lookout for those…the AMD guys are the best👌

[@feikesietsma9132]

Great job…….iam watching from Amsterdam….nice car….

[@camracing]

Thank you, I appreciate the support

[@brickhead_07]

Very cool custom touches! Love it!

[@camracing]

Thank you!

[@garageforcerestos]

Always great work man. My vote - weekly videos

[@camracing]

Thank you!

[@DonMegaDengue]

Great job. Well explained

[@camracing]

Thank you

[@ThatGuyWithTheFords]

You have a hella cool vision for this car and I’m so stoked to see it come to fruition!

[@tonyorwick492]

WoW your custom touch to the rear taillight pan is amazing can't wait to see more custom touches to this ride I am with @JustinRoberts put out a video of what you are working even if it ain't done we can see it come together as you do it

[@camracing]

I appreciate the feedback, thanks!

[@billyray8062]

Cal, you are amazing with the personalized designs you come up with. Just put out your videos whenever you can, we`ll be here to watch them.

[@camracing]

I certainly appreciate it, thank you!

[@christopherroundtree4455]

Whenever you want is the best but I'm sure that those of us regular viewers get a little more excited to see more frequent progress. Truly amazed at your efforts and skills!

[@cecilkrajca7654]

love what your doing with the car keep it up hope to do one of my own one day

[@nathanielpotanko7880]

Never would have thought to do that but looks badass so far

[@camracing]

I appreciate it, I’ve been thinking about it for a while now. Was still scary to cut up a brand new piece though😅

[@280zone]

I like the direction the tail panel decision is going.

[@jasonboyce9650]

I’m with some of the others. Create enough content for 30-60 min, regardless of what you get done. Something that half ass customs does is create a realistic expectation at the beginning of the video. “Today I think I’d like to get such and such done.” Sometimes he does, & sometimes he doesn’t. No one cares. We just like good content. Also something to consider: keep your talking intro short. 3 min or less. Then do voice over while you are time lapsing if you have to explain things. First time watcher and subscribing! Keep up the good work

[@camracing]

Thanks for following along, I appreciate the feedback. Taking it all into consideration and hopefully applying it in the future👌

[@ZTFab1]

Awesome work!! This channel should have 100k+ subscribers!

[@camracing]

Haha thank you, hopefully one day we’ll get there!

[@scottkovacs7634]

I love what your doing looking sweet

[@Pebsi07]

Beautiful work

[@camracing]

Thank you

[@Pebsi07]

Thanks You! - Sat here having a beer in the UK enjoying every second

[@liamvoelker9906]

Dude I’ve been watching you for awhile and you are awe inspiring keep it up man

[@camracing]

Thanks brother, I appreciate it

[@ericszatkowski6001]

More video’s would equal more views. Personally I would like to see the baby steps of progress because you have got us all intrigued!!💪🏻💯

[@camracing]

I appreciate the feedback!

[@dennistwitchell8821]

Ive had three 70 Chargers and am excited about your modifications. I personally prefer shorter videos more often over one long video.

[@camracing]

Appreciate the feedback!

[@bobtucker8875]

Very interesting 🤔 content 😁.

[@curtisdanielsforservice4131]

❤ the short video 😊

[@camracing]

Appreciate the feedback!

[@curtisdanielsforservice4131]

I promise you you have a future in automobiles and Fabrication

[@carysnyder929]

Short videos are better. You have done a very nice job.

[@camracing]

Thank you, I appreciate the feedback

[@roycervantes1341]

Yeee Yeee

[@oprwiz7813]

Great vid. I never heard of the old car channel I saw it in your hat and sticker on the cabinet and looked them up. Looks like a good channel. So I subscribed to them

[@MLCAPE]

Oh yea he has some super cool content!

[@camracing]

Mike is the man, definitely a good channel to watch👍

[@oprwiz7813]

I like just a weekly progress video. Whatever way. If anything. Prompt people to like share, subscribe but also comment. Get them to help increase your reach by playing to the algorithm

[@Rusty_Dents]

That's going to look great, Cale. Great eye and detail for building next level cars. Looking forward to seeing it one day

[@camracing]

Thank you

[@davidmitchell5638]

Bro please keep it up cause I'm learning a lot from you! Subscribed just before you hit 10k.

[@camracing]

Thank you brother, I appreciate it!

[@JAY-CRA]

Very exciting to see the car coming together 💯

[@tombrenes2411]

Awesome content Love all the hard work Mad skill level Great fab work

[@camracing]

Thank you, I appreciate you watching

[@roycervantes1341]

Videos Yee Yee 😃

[@kevinmopar1211]

Are you building this in a storage locker? My hats off to you if you are!

[@camracing]

I am yes, it’s a 10’x20’ space😅

[@kevinmopar1211]

That awesome man! Your a tough fella working in those tight constraints. @@camracing

[@ShadeTreeGeneralLee]

You need to check out Steve Mirabelli he has a KZbin channel and builds chargers too. He’s working on a wide body now.

[@camracing]

Just looked it up…I recognize the cars but had no idea he had a channel

[@Kudu_Grootseun]

really cool videos!!! i would just like if you had a better mic and showed more of the process

[@camracing]

I’ll work on including more footage of the work, sometimes just get in the zone and set up a time lapse. I’d also like to figure out a mic, I appreciate the feedback!

[@Kudu_Grootseun]

@@camracing Awesome! great fab work btw

[@DaPenceman]

Maybe try to work out a deal with your dad, to move his car(s) to a storage facility which you'll pay for. And move the charger back home to a larger (possibly heated ?)more convient garage he doesn't drive or work on the GTO every day, does he?

[@camracing]

Solid idea, but I live two states away from him

[@danielgarrett1155]

Weekly progress videos will be great. Keep the content coming. This build is very exciting with all of the changes you are making. Im sure we will see this one at SEMA. I know this channel will continue to grow. With a few more collaborations, you could double your subscribers overnight. Im a big fan, and i admire your attitude and work ethic. Keep diggin man!

[@camracing]

Thank you, thank you. That is in fact the goal for the car, a long ways to go. Hopefully we’ll have some cool collaborations lined up for this year👍

[@Cherokee93]

Love the work. What powertrain you plan on doing?

[@brandonloveday]

Bumped into you and that kick@$$ Duster of yours on HRPT this past year. Pleasure watching you work. Do you have a video on the vision of this Charger, if so I just haven't found it yet.

[@camracing]

I do not, I’ve been keeping the renders a secret haha. Have to keep people interested

[@Tom_P_242]

I just subsribed Your Chanel. I like Ur Passion and precicion of work with metal. Could u sometimes tells completly newbie how to set up welding machine and what materials u using to seks that Tiny car elements?❤❤❤❤❤ Love this and wish U succes with this Princess 😊😊😊

[@nicolasschneider8452]

With the rear panel cut out, how do you plan to compensate the loss of vertical stiffness of the trunk latch area?

[@camracing]

The plan is to have the deck-lid on quick pins. So in theory, it shouldn’t affect it too much considering there will be no pressure in that area with no truck latch.

[@remington7009]

Can't wait to see what u do with that hideous front bumper😅

[@camracing]

👀👀

[@NathansMoparGarage]

It's looking good. Do you have a heater in your garage?

[@camracing]

I do not, it’s pretty chilly

[@NathansMoparGarage]

@@camracing Might want to get a propane heater to take the chill out of the garage.

[@totalyqt4599]

Weekly posts pls

[@camracing]

👌

[@andrewcross420]

First 🔥

[@camracing]

Appreciate you broski

[@xxxdiresaintxxx]

Old video style, no weekly unless its long arbitrarily short videos just to get more videos is a bad choice in my opinion.

[@pennytheabarth_]

Let's collab i can help record and edit we watch together and publish .. I also do youtube but mostly on weekends cars n coffee

[@camracing]

I appreciate it brother, hopefully one day I’ll be at the point where I can hire an editor
