Randy's Hellcat Daytona part 84

[@michaelfust9520]

Bittersweet time for us followers. Thank you for taking us along for the ride on these builds. Great balance of enjoyable along with being very informative. Enjoy your KZbin "holiday".

[@SteveMirabelli]

Thanks for hanging in there Michael. KZbin is not a money maker for me so I have been living off of the atta boys.

[@bradallen6333]

This has been a great project to follow, thank you for sharing it with all of us and please give us a follow up video on the paint and wheels when you can.

[@SteveMirabelli]

The car needs to be in Wichita by the end of the month after which it will take at least 3 month to finish as I have been told so maybe after the first of the year.

[@TherieMade]

I enjoyed the journey brother car looks like a dream!!!🎉 here are your flowers for such a beauty

[@SteveMirabelli]

Thank you. I appreciate the gesture.

[@randylear8264]

My brother has been watching this build. He also watched your earlier builds. He turned me on to your videos. He lives in Kansas. And visited me earlier this summer. I live in Kannapolis and have talked to you before at their cruise in. From my understanding you are over in China Grove. I am restoring my 70 GTX that I bought here in 1979 and was really fortunate that it was kept in pretty good condition. I have done all the work so far and take inspiration from your more technical expertise. I am teaching myself to weld now and then can continue in a few trunk and floor pans that need welded in. I have a paint booth and will be painting my GTX myself. But again it will be a learning experience. Your builds are a work of art and engineering. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@SteveMirabelli]

Thanks. The donor 70 Charger for this build came from the Kansas City area. I am down below the speedway in the Harrisburg area. Glad you have found the videos useful. That is my main reason for making them.

[@MalcolmMacrae-qn6ue]

Thanks for a great series, you deserve a bit of a break ! Love to see it finished. You post arrives Saturday morning in New Zealand and I really look forward to opening up KZbin to see your achievements. All the very best and thank you.

[@SteveMirabelli]

I am sorry not to be visiting for a while. I feel like I have connected with like minded people around the world. It's been a privilege.

[@phoenixblack1220]

Steve, your channel has been the best part of my Friday evenings. This build had to be the most complex beauty you have done to date. I am looking forward to seeing this car totally completed! Enjoy the time off and thank you for taking us along on this journey with you! Congratulations on another masterpiece!!

[@SteveMirabelli]

Phoenix you have been one of the regulars around here and I appreciate our interactions. I will miss that. Hopefully I will be back in some way soon.

[@MH-rb7lp]

Truly an engineering marvel and a work of art. I am sure that car will be even more stunning when painted. Awesome job, enjoy the home improvement.

[@SteveMirabelli]

Thank you. I will try my best.

[@CarswithNash]

All the little details nobody ever thinks about. Looking good Steve.👍

[@SteveMirabelli]

Thanks Matt. I hope you are doing well.

[@CarswithNash]

@SteveMirabelli I'm doing ok, just bored, I'm used to being much more active than I am able to be now. Thanks for asking.

[@SteveMirabelli]

@@CarswithNash I get that. I am about to join you.

[@CarswithNash]

@SteveMirabelli That's sad to hear. You've built some amazing cars and I'm sure you will continue to tinker with something cool regardless. Best of luck to you Steve.

[@SteveMirabelli]

@@CarswithNash thanks Matt.

[@Automated14]

That thing looks mean! So aggressive! Best looking 2nd gen Charger build I’ve ever seen

[@SteveMirabelli]

Thank you . It was a collaboration with the owner who had definite ideas on how he wanted it to look.

[@randiiburleson]

I've been in honey-do mode for the last few years after a house-move, and in the shop infrequently. Watching you work has kept me sane in the interim. Thanks for sharing your skills and experience.

[@SteveMirabelli]

I know how that is and the support has been mutual I assure you.

[@bradsmith8616]

Awesome work Steve. Thanks for taking us along with you.

[@SteveMirabelli]

Thanks Brad. I appreciate having you on board.

[@im4usm2]

What a ride, Steve. This has been a great, satisfying project to watch it come together has been a joy. You hit like four grand slams in a single game with this one. I hope when Randy has the final paint complete you can post some video or pictures here on the channel to let us see the final result. Once again, GREAT WORK.

[@SteveMirabelli]

Thanks again for checking in each week. I appreciated your weekly comments. It is great to experience the positive feedback. I will miss the interaction for sure.

[@im4usm2]

@@SteveMirabelli Same here, after the Orange GTX, Don's Nuclear Banana and now Randy's Daytona it was a real pleasure to watch each week. Though we have never met in person, I feel like you are an old friend now. Good luck with all you do in the future and if it makes it to KZbin I'll be here to cheer you on. Best regards, Dave.

[@SteveMirabelli]

@im4usm2 thanks again Dave.

[@nateforrest2878]

I enjoyed every part of this build. Thank you for taking the time to take us along.

[@SteveMirabelli]

It was my pleasure. The feedback is what kept me going and setting goals.

[@miguela.morales255]

I'm so thankful for the opportunity to watch you working and solving problems to make things work. Thank you so much, it feels like graduation day Steve. We hope to see you in the near future, God bless👍👋

[@SteveMirabelli]

Thank you. I hope it won't be too awful long until I get back but life has its own plans regardless of our wished.

[@carysnyder929]

I can not say enough about watching this build. Loved all of it. I would like to see it after the paint work is done, maybe you could do a final of the overall project?

[@SteveMirabelli]

Once it is out of my hands nothing is guaranteed . I will make a video of what ever I can when the time comes. Thanks for hanging in there all these months Cary.

[@user-vr2tx4tt6b]

It's been an absolute treat of appreciation to watch this one, Steve. I have learned a ton and enjoyed looking forward in anticipation to each Friday afternoon. Thank you for all the work.

[@SteveMirabelli]

I have had a wonderful time sharing the experience. That is the only thing that makes anything worth doing.

[@user-vr2tx4tt6b]

@SteveMirabelli Amen sir. Thanks for showing us your skills.

[@perkulo6379]

Thank you Steve for taking your time and showing all the details in this awesome build, looking forward to see some videos after the painting.

[@SteveMirabelli]

Thanks. I am anxious to see it too.

[@darryldelpeache5453]

It will be a shame not to see your regular videos! I bumped into your channel several years back and instantly became addicted. I love seeing your builds come to fruition, and hopefully, this is just a short "see you later!" Thank you, Steve!

[@SteveMirabelli]

I just need a reset and to get some personal business taken care of. I have let a bunch of stuff unravel just to stay 100% focused on the last 3 builds.

[@SloppyJoe54]

Best build yet! Thought it would be hard for you to beat the GTX build, but you never fail to impress! Thanks for taking us along for the ride! Oh, and my second favorite thing is home remodeling….a Steve Maribelli home improvement channel would be awesome!👍👍👍

[@SteveMirabelli]

Thanks. I would be embarrassed to show what a shambles my house is. Not the improvements so far. Just the basic house was so poorly built it will never be close to right.

[@FrehleyBurst9-1878]

Steve, Thank You so much for keeping the Daytona relevant in your Masterful builds! The 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona is the greatest American Muscle car ever built, and there are so few left that people are able to see out on the highways of America that they often get forgotten so thanks for keeping them on the road with your great restomod clones! Now, on to the Honey-Do list because Happy Wife equals Happy Life!

[@SteveMirabelli]

I couldn't agree more. Just looking at them still gives me the chills.

[@garageofdreams3549]

This has been an incredible build series with an unbelievable amount of custom fabrication along the way. It’s been a pleasure riding along with you, would love to see it in its final form someday. Thanks

[@SteveMirabelli]

Thanks for taking the time to watch.

[@vlachyna]

What a Journey!!!!!❤ Thanks a lot Steve!!!🎉🎉🎉 Really!!! What a journey you took us with you… Please keep posting new videos! You are definetly my favorite builder!!!! I will miss this stuff…😢

Thanks for following along all this time Ed. You were one of the regulars and I appreciate your attention.

[@HardRockCrusher]

It's SOOOOOOOO beautiful. It's a joy to witness the entire production. Your eye is keen, your hand is precise, your engineering, epic. Can't wait to see it in color.

[@SteveMirabelli]

Thank you. I only wish I had the skill to paint the thing the way it needs to be painted. I like to finish things.

[@jelafleur]

I am really going to miss these videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills!

[@SteveMirabelli]

And I will miss interacting with all of you especially regulars such as yourself.

[@ManesJim]

Definitely going to miss the videos. Hell of a build sir! And Definitely give us updates from time to time.

[@SteveMirabelli]

Thanks Jim. I will do what I can sir.

[@hotrodfarmer2193]

Love your work!!!! Going to miss your show while you’re out. Look forward every week to see your progress. When I win the lottery I’ll be contacting ya! Your work is amazing. Hope to see you again soon on here.

[@SteveMirabelli]

I hope not to be gone too long. On the GTX build I stopped twice for 6 month stretches so not the first time I have had to tend to other things in life.

[@brianbaldo6605]

Thanks so much for all your efforts to bring this build to us. I looked forward to every single episode and truly admire your talents as a fabricator. Hope to see you back on another project sooner than later. Take care!

[@SteveMirabelli]

Thanks Brian. I hope to be back soon. We will see.

[@chrisr.3147]

Steve, this is such an amazing build!! You are really an awesome artist!

[@SteveMirabelli]

Thanks for the compliment Chris.

[@bradrichmond2014]

Great project Steve , amazing workmanship.

[@SteveMirabelli]

Thank you Brad.

[@reviewatrandom]

Quite the build. I followed your last two from beginning to end. I never doubted for a minute you'd get that pesky backup camera working either. Cheers to a great project!

[@SteveMirabelli]

Thank you for all your support. It figures that it was something dumb like the last loose connection I checked. Glad that is all it was.

[@reviewatrandom]

@@SteveMirabelli it's always something dumb like that isn't it?

[@SteveMirabelli]

I can't believe that I've been watching you for about 3 years now. It's been an entertaining ride. Enjoy your retirement from retirement.

Thanks. I am a bit burned out right now. Maybe I will get my second wind.

[@tl50camiva]

Well done Steve, Fridays just won't be the same anymore! Enjoy whatever it is you're doing in the future, it's been a most enjoyable journey over the last 18months or so.

[@SteveMirabelli]

Thanks. I appreciate you taking the time to watch all the way through.

[@FrescoyMembrillo]

this has been an amazing journey, thanks for the ride along!

[@SteveMirabelli]

You are very welcome.

[@stevenaaron6889]

I think your issues may be the adjustable shocks this car have and the 20 x 10 wheel. You probably can go to a 20 x 9 but you would need a wheel to clear the big caliber. It’s been great watching the bill. We really appreciate you for sharing and we appreciate the good work man. It’s awesome, thank you

[@SteveMirabelli]

Thanks. When a suspension system gets complicated like this it is hard to do what you want to do and I don't like messing with the factory stuff on these new cars. You are just asking for trouble. Bottom line is the car is just too heavy now for the lowering springs. Heck. The wing alone adds about 100 pound to the decklid not to mention the super heavy steel hood and steel nose.

[@stevenaaron6889]

@@SteveMirabelli yea I definitely understand that. What wanna to make you aware of the different ride height options with those adjustable shocks. It can be adjusted in the suspension settings. But those blocks should fix your issues

[@SteveMirabelli]

@stevenaaron6889 good to know but figuring out how to make those adjustments are beyond me no one I know can walk me through it.

[@garypreble1611]

I love the videos I am going to do a body swap 73 challenger on a 2011 challenger rt chassis and I will deffently take some of your videos in and watch then a few times to get some pointers and ideas you did awesome work on all the body swaps thanks

[@SteveMirabelli]

Thanks. That is going to be a challenge for sure. No pun intended. I think the old Challenger is wide enough but you may have to shorten the new car platform. Either way good luck.

[@ricardojorgepacheco1717]

Best Build Ever

[@SteveMirabelli]

Thanks. I appreciate the compliment.

[@carlkwasnjuk9518]

I have watched this entire build and was bummed when you said that this was the last video. It would have been nice to see the car all painted and maybe some video of the paint prep and painting.

[@SteveMirabelli]

Well the owner wants a show car quality paint job and I am afraid I am not set up for all that.

[@carlkwasnjuk9518]

@@SteveMirabelli I understand that. Is there a possibility that you could video the car when it's done being painted?

[@SteveMirabelli]

@carlkwasnjuk9518 the car won't be coming back to me. I will have to see if the owner can send me some video. That will probably not be until the beginning of next year.

[@lanceclark5511]

Damn that sucks, no more videos but i know its crunch time and its time to get that thing across the finish line and videos take up a lot of time to make. I watched the last couple of projects you did and man time does fly by. Don't forget about us when you get it done.

How do i get added to the car build list?
