FORGOTTEN 71 Dodge Challenger Tear Down pt 3.

[@buffdoc46]

It's got just enough bones to make a great project. With all the panels/parts available, this will come out great. Key, not letting it to get overwhelming. Inch by inch, day by day. They don't make these cars anymore, so preserving them is a must. Can't wait for all the work in the future.

[@JerryDey]

My dad taught me how to easily remove old front shocks from a car. Put a deep socket on the nut on top attached to a long extension and just work it back and forth till the shaft snaps.

[@andreasfiska7066]

The car looks better than the first impression. Almost ready to burning in new Steel.

[@BryceCold]

Yeah structurally it's great! But yeah it'll need most of the sheet metal replaced 👍🏻

[@nephewsque6751]

There you go..... keep on picking at it fella 👍

[@BryceCold]

Thanks man, will do!

[@nephewsque6751]

@BryceCold I was thinking about buying 72 cutlass. It's a complete car, but I'll have to get the floors and rear quarters replaced. But I don't do any welding and I wanted to stay in budget$

[@BryceCold]

Well I'm not really sure what your budget is but realistically, the way I see it is, you have about three options. Now depending if you can get floors and quarter panels from AMD or from a donor car, But you can either learn to weld yourself and save money that way, have a friend that can weld and they can help you out or you can save a little bit more money and pay a shop do it.

liking this so far, don't give up, thanks for sharing.

[@BryceCold]

Thanks man I appreciate it 🙏🏻

[@enforcer5053]

keep going! ur almost there! than ordering sheetmetal!

[@BryceCold]

Heck yeah man, pretty stoked!!!

[@MrPopples72843]

Chrome sockets are totally fine when you live as close to the tool store as you do! That’s what warranties are for

[@BryceCold]

Hahaha for real tho 🤣

[@r.hill.2369]

Nice progress brother! Can't wait for pt. 4

[@BryceCold]

Thanks man! Part 4 coming soon!

[@TheShadetreemechanic392]

Thanks for all the content . You inspired me to start a channel on my car . I wish I knew how to make the cool music and editing

[@BryceCold]

That's awesome man thank you! I use an edit program called DaVinci Resolve 17 and all of the music comes from KZbins free non copyright downloadable music on the KZbin studio app.

[@TheShadetreemechanic392]

@@BryceCold my car is a 68 dodge coronet by the way . Doing a 392 swap

[@BryceCold]

Badass! I love 68s, almost bought one I was looking at but yeah you'll love the Hemi swap, it's amazing 👏

[@brandonloveday]

"I bought a firewall" has the potential for a cool t-shirt. Will you need to patch the floors before being dipped to help provide some rigidity?

[@BryceCold]

That's funny you mentioned that, a few friends of mine and I were talking about funny sayings to put on shirts and one of them was something to that effect lol. As far as adding structure to the car for the dipper, it's not necessary. But obviously once I start to replace sheet metal then I will have to have the car set on a frame jig.

[@mistersniffer6838]

Was gonna say........... Lefty loosy, righty tighty!!

[@BryceCold]

Yeah that was bizarre to find on that car but who knows what the total history of this car is.

[@anthonymanganaro9942]

Hey brother it's Anthony. Is this project your greatest challenge thus far? Additionally, are you cataloguing as you go?

[@BryceCold]

Yes this is definitely my most challenging build thus far, no pun intended LOL. And I am cataloging stuff to an extent but most things are so badly rusted that they can't be used. But I'm still hanging on to all the parts.

[@bjstokley9550]

Dude you are literally going to regret not bagging the bolts and if you are planning on not using the bolts at least you can use them as reference of what style and size of where each and every bolt goes

[@BryceCold]

Most of the bolts that go to the main body panels and bigger areas of the car are sectioned off on my workbench but the other screws and miscellaneous bolts that go here and there that were way too rusty to even remotely save I just have a big bin. You can go to Classic Industries or year one and Order bolt kits that tell you specifically where they go. Should I have catalog them better than I did? Absolutely but most these bolts needed to be replaced anyway.

[@kermitmawyer1743]

Yes. 1

[@BryceCold]

Yes 2?

[@mobigsly9595]

Wow that thing looks like it's just one big rusty rat turd.. Good Luck! 👍

[@BryceCold]

Oh absolutely 🤣 but thank you!

[@joeshermenti2082]

Lefty loosie righty titey

[@BryceCold]

What a concept lol

[@pdrga]

Dipping that car is very risky bud,, once that car gets dipped ,you wont have a mint firewall or a car ? That car is very rusty, be prepared bud ! Best of luck!

[@BryceCold]

The pieces that are solid and just surface rusted will be fine in the tank, it's just going to neutralize all of the rust and won't be left in there long enough to destroy metal. It's what these tanks were designed for so it'll be the best option for this car, and thank you!
