RATTY 70 Charger frame rail & roof rust repair!

[@ronaldhellengreen7063]

I can't tell you how cool it is for me to see a young man like you building a true muscle car, and not a turner car with a wing , and a fart pipe. You are doing fantastic work, and I can't wait to see the finished product! I'm retired now, so nothing is going to keep me from seeing every one until it's done!!! PEACE ✌️

[@camracing]

Thanks for following along!

[@resurrectionmotors2421]

Man I think you coming along quite quickly. Don't apologize for taking so long you're doing a great job , most folks with another jumped into a project like that. Awesome job. God bless

[@joedipiza1090]

Very Nice Work on a Huge Project. Good to see the Young Guys like you Tackling these Great Iconic Cars. Also, That was a Steal at $1000.00! Keep up the Good work.

[@grizzlyrider6original70]

Great Job Dude!

[@rickykinser9078]

You’re an inspiration. You’re doing great work. I like that you acquired a place to work in a rental building mini storage. I can’t wait to see the end result.

[@camracing]

appreciate it man!

[@philipm1009]

Brilliant work ,my favorite American muscle car Dodge charger,thanks to the Dukes of Hazzard ,there's a few chargers in Ireland and they are so cool ,all the best from Ireland mate 🤠👌

[@camracing]

Appreciate the support brother!

[@miracledriver55]

Amazing work, i like the fact that you focus on the metal work to be as smooth as possible, and perfectly shaped, Even if you have to go over it. Definetly helps me learn despite your frustration. keep up the great work 👍👍

[@aussiewendelken7499]

Just found your channel, you rock bro, for some one so young your passion for this is very contagious, keep up the good work sending love from across the pond here in England

[@marygarner5249]

You are doing awesome job really moving right along

[@keithgriffith6002]

It’s so refreshing to see a young man with such great work ethics.

[@rorasaurus14]

Great work! I wish people who complained about the price of body work would watch this and realize the skill and time needed to do it

[@camracing]

Definitely takes a lot of time haha!

[@bluesmoke218]

Yeah most people this kind of work would take years…you’re doing great keep going man!

[@jeffreyevens2033]

You Sir are a master of metal working. Super job thus far!

[@jimelzea7441]

Watching you work Cale I know this car is going to be a work of art!!!

[@stuartkarshagen6274]

Always a good day when Cam uploads a video.🤙🏻, Great work as usual, take your time, do it proper 👍🏻

[@GhostRider-ii7tz]

Nice job bud.i don’t know anyone your age that has the skills that you have.you should be very proud.👍

[@camracing]

I appreciate it, thank you!

[@sr71blackbirddr]

Great work Cam this Charger is going to look great, and don't beat yourself up too much it's coming along nicely.

[@Kerrage]

I hope I'm half as patient as you when I start doing body work on my bullnose

[@280zone]

Agree, no apologies required, you are doing great. Metal working like you are doing isn't easily taught or learned. It will take a lot of practice.

[@ryansermonet6130]

Milwaukee M12 right angle die grinder, 2 inch roloc adapter, and cubitron 80 grit sanding discs is killer for dressing welds and doesn't need a compressor. Variable speed to make it less likely to gouge too. One of my most used tools honestly! Nice work dude. Keep up the momentum!

[@Mattisgarage]

Nice progress again 👍

[@bigce]

Have a look at the Milwaukee M12 Right Angle Die Grinder PN#2485-20 You can use it with sanding pads and 3m Bristle Discs. Don't need air and it works awesome, get the bigger battery though.

[@camracing]

I’ll definitely check that out, I appreciate it!

[@bigospig]

It's tough to complain about a lack of space and tools after watching the straight forward way you get the job done with way less than most of us have.

[@camracing]

It’s definitely made me realize what you can do with minimal tools/space

[@dillonsgarage1968]

Really great vids, a fabricator with ocd always comes out with the nicest product for sure

[@gerbsiu]

Absolutely fantastic work, on both the video and the car. I wish I knew how to do what you do at your age. Keep up the good work!

[@jimbo8972]

in canada we have winters and salt that destroy cars, therefore we have some pretty good rust preventative products. i use something called "rust check" it creeps. i restored a 70 challenger . i spray rust check inside my frame rails every couple of years and also my doors. by spring the rust check has creeped up the front of the door panel... it also keeps wires soft and prevents them from drying out. i started doing this 30 years ago when i restored the car.... frame rails are still perfect

[@kennethchapman9564]

Obviously a perfectionist Cam. Doing really good work, going to need very little body filler to get it ready for paint.

[@camracing]

Thanks! That’s the hope haha, I hate body work

[@masonbennett2855]

Keep it up loving the videos the quarters and frame rails look like one of the hardest parts

[@camracing]

They’ll definitely be tricky haha

[@stevereinhart4067]

Hope you rust treated the inside of the rails and cowl. Keep up the great work.

[@camracing]

Yup, rust converter and then covered that with weld through primer. Same thing I did on the roof pieces👌

[@thescalefactorypl9932]

@@camracing and after painting a lot of rust inhibiting wax (Mike Sanders kind of thing applied hot) inside all of those closed profiles. I've also been using ACF 50 in those kind of hard to get spots because of it's incredible penetrating properities.

[@joe6096]

You are doing an awesome job! There's a great career future for you if you want to take this further. You can make really good money if you want to get into classic car restoration. The people who have been doing this for years are approaching retirement age, and then some. We need more people your age with the interest, pride, and work ethic you have to carry on the trade and keep these classics on the road.

[@camracing]

This is what I’d love to do for a living, I hope to make that happen one day. Hopefully this car will be a good resume once it’s done😅

[@quickgearshifter2719]

You’re doing great bud! I commend you on your skills, especially at such a young age. I just got into the cowl area on my 67 Camaro and am very happy with the shape it’s in. Still got to pull the windshield to see what’s hiding there, but looking much better than I hoped so far. Keep it up man, cause it’s gonna be a nice ride once you’re done!

[@camracing]

Hey that’s always promising! I had a feeling mine was going to be rough but not as bad as it really was haha. appreciate the kind words, thank you!

[@KPaul7]

Well worth the wait and no apology needed. You are getting better and better. From editing to your overall style. I absolutely love your picky ness to attend to detail. Great time-lapse and I love the tape trace then cardboard cut-out. The music was on point in the time-lapse as well.

[@camracing]

Thanks!

[@fordfandiecast]

looking awesome. better and better every video. Great work

[@camracing]

Much appreciated!

[@shawnb8167]

Awesome !!! 👌👍🤩

[@philben_454]

Looks awesome! Wish I had half of your motivation.

[@ToriL97]

Milwaukee has a right angle die grinder. It's been my most used tool with my metal work. Can use cut off wheels, 2 or 3 inch roloc sanding disc, or carbide burrs. Probably would work great for you since you don't have air. Just would have to get the larger 6.0ah batteries, they last way longer.

[@camracing]

I’ll have to check it out, I appreciate it👌

[@JB-mk4ry]

Amazing progress!

[@pbush5440]

Love the channel and appreciate your talent! Your subscriptions should be blowing up! I’ve been there patching thin sheet metal and chasing holes. Wears a guy completely out. Hang in there, you have got this project under control.

[@camracing]

Appreciate the support!

[@williamyoast216]

Once again I’ll commend you on your ambition. It’s coming along nicely. You should get a P.O. Box so some of us can send you some new gloves and face shield, you know safety stuff. Be careful around that death wheel

[@dwdenzelwilliams41]

Love the progress keep up the good work

[@Espersontheone]

Enjoying the Charger very much! Also looking forward to what your plan are for the future :) Cheers.

[@miracledriver55]

Your definetly right about getting a 90 degree die grinder, you could get away with a 15-20 gallon air compressor, it will run with the grinder but it's enough air to do quite a bit of work.

[@cmcfaria26]

Great job. Waiting for next dodge video

[@cogboy302]

Good to see you using CAD (cardboard aided design).

[@danielwarner1736]

The sides of that cowl panel are rotted. You should just put a whole new cowl panel in but smooth it before hand unless you want the vent slots.

Shout out from uk you’re doing a great job keep it up

[@williamking9200]

I saw a video earlier of these other guys building a insane 69 Charger and they were saying for whatever reason the engines in these cars never sit centered. They had to do some metal work to the firewall and drive shaft tunnel to get it centered.. That might want to be something you want to consider when you get to that point. From what I understand it's on all Chargers...

[@camracing]

Yeah it’s on all mopars. The engines sit 1 1/2 inches to the passenger side. I had to deal with the same thing when I put the Ls in my duster haha

[@williamking9200]

@@camracing I think it would be a cool thing to correct when you get to the engine install.. Also a great time to do any firewall mod

I think it would be cool if you turned this into a offroad/rally build

[@johnsarian_cu]

He's gone now but I knew on old guy who for years up until like 2010 still used lead. He used to say he spent hours getting thin metal complex shapes right and learned it just wasn't worth the effort. Hated plastic variants. There was an art to selecting the level of tin, but I don't remember what he said...haha. Pretty sure popular suppliers like Eastwood still sell it at different tin levels.

[@bobmccurdy8881]

You do great work

[@bgee461]

Cereal boxes or like granola bars, things like that... make real nice template material. Better than corrugated cardboard

[@HME_-br4og]

Lower the amps on the welder and fill those little holes, then grind them down. That way you won’t blow any holes in it.

[@nickbaldwin5970]

Turn heat down little more or slowdown your weld little bit

[@AlexOliver86]

Great videos man. How many cutting discs did you go through?

[@camracing]

Too many😂😂

[@nickbaldwin5970]

It’s called undercut

[@BigThomTattoos]

Was the frame rail 14 gauge? I have 1 spot on my 71 Dart to repair and I think it would be the same thickness

[@camracing]

Yup, 14 gauge👌

[@roycervantes1341]

Just a suggestion there is a KZbinr call junkerup who build chargers and mopars he has been on roadkill garage a Motortrend show maybe checking out his videos might help you but love the charger build 👍👍👍👍👍👍

I follow him, he’s been a good resource

[@brandenpatterson2776]

I just had the same problem not being able to get something as perfect as I wanted I ended up cheating with jb weld every time I tried to weld it same as you huge hole!

[@brantstout4482]

Where you do buy all your parts from? Have a 72 charger and looking for a reliable part dealer?

[@oliverf944]

How do you stop the rail from rusting from the inside out?

[@karlbaker1943]

What about the rest that's thin with no holes? Should atleast used rust converter inside frame. Your work is nice.

[@hooligangeneral300]

I may be wrong but your patch metal looks a lot thinner that what the original frame thickness is.

It’s the same thickness👍
