REVIVING My 1969 Charger! BRAND NEW Interior!

"that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved" -Romans 10:9
This was a MASSIVE undertaking. The interior on the Ratty Charger has always been a daunting task looming over my head. Today, that changes for the better. No longer are we procrastinating greatness! We have interior that will make this car so much more enjoyable!

Please paint this beautiful car.

[@davidthewelder6788]

Fantastic work on the interior. Now, you realize you're basically obligated to paint the outside of it. I'm glad to see an actual restoration going on.

[@JohnLittle-ze7sp]

Dylan, this charger deserves a paint job and the whole works

[@rg01740]

or at least a headliner

[@bluerazor7049]

Headliner? Sure, but painting it would make it look too nice, it should stay as is, like the Challenger!

[@hippydippy]

Nope. Leave the patina.

[@89JDmac]

The patina actually looks good on this car because it’s not rotten or banged up and dented all over. Bougie interior and rat rod outside is kinda badass

[@Jv19979]

I'd leave it I purposely put a 20ft paint job on my car because I drive it and don't care about scratches and also it was yellow and I hate yellow. I didn't fix the dents

[@KVUSA77]

Out of all the cars on this channel, THIS is the one I want to see primered and painted the most. Match the door jamb green and spray this beast.

[@robgto7051]

I get the whole patina thing I truly do but this car in the org. green would be stunning .

[@DylanMcCoolVideo]

Then it’s just another green Charger. No way to tell the history visually.

[@Drewzer154]

@@DylanMcCoolVideo I'm with you, it's perfect the way it is.

[@adamtereska8734]

I respectfully disagree. Fresh green paint would really set off this car. These cars are never "just another Charger." Combined with the fact that most everybody is doing "patina," there's nothing special about patina anymore. That car deserves new paint. It looks unfinished.

[@DylanMcCoolVideo]

@@adamtereska8734 Good news is you can paint your Charger whenever you like. I’m not going to.

[@robgto7051]

@@DylanMcCoolVideo this car has no history

[@kevinmoffatt4373]

This car deserves a beautiful green metallic paint job

[@lucasdamask]

A tip for the interior panels, to make silver trim, paint it black and use a silver paint pen, like those paint correction pens, get a silver one, paint it black and use it on the letters and trim to make it silver, just light dabs on the letters don't push the pen too much.

[@DylanMcCoolVideo]

I wish I could be that coordinated!

[@shanesmith8920]

That is what I was going to say. Way easier and less time consuming.

[@scottharris8308]

Looks great just need to paint outside. Lol

[@erincherry3870]

To me, there is almost NOTHING better on a classic car when the interior is redone and feels brand new. Its the best part of building old cars to me, because that is where all of your time is spent. A well insulated, sound treated, and clean looking interior with a moderate sound system and new rubber seals everywhere makes driving and old car daily more fun then just adding a bunch of power. Its the part I feel is where you really feel the worth of the money it cost to do it!

[@groundhog8148]

Looks good on the inside now it needs the outside done

[@stephenspilker9334]

great job. now all you need is a good paint job. the old factory green would go nicely with the interior.

[@sinistercharger]

4 minutes ago It was all going well and looked till those front seats went in 😌 The headlining seems absent too when you've done everything else.

[@nikolasb2933]

Just LOVE hating on those seats. Thanks for the opportunity, Dylan.

[@jimmyraythomason1]

Paint hat baby a dark green! Maybe with a matching vinyl top.

[@robertpimpo4698]

I know you're into the patina thing, but I would make the body smooth as glass and put a shiny paint job on that car. It's worth it!

[@eddiethedodgeman6758]

Oh, Dylan Bless your heart.

[@Xpyburnt_ndz]

Oh man!!! Wish you'd redo the exterior to original too! Such a GR8 car!

[@tinkerne-round4079]

Couple things. Somebody may have already mentioned the glue if left to dry to the touch will adhere immediately and make a better bond, and to clean the excess glue and overspray use ronsol lighter fluid. It also works to clean greasy fingerprints off even light colored cloth interior pieces and headliners.

[@dandrson7903]

Love the back seat. Hate the front seats, but I understand why they were chosen. Beautiful dash. Love it.

[@mefastest]

I'd love to see your Mustang 2 with a new interior too. You put a new lease on life for that Charger. Nicely done sir!

[@bengone3349]

Well Dylan, I can't sign off on the black upper door trimmer the other black trim changes because I had a'68 Charger exactly the same green inside and out. I will say you are dedicated to doing things, and doing them well. I agree with some of the others, it should be painted for that complete restored look.

[@user-to2kj1oo4w]

Looks Great!!!

[@Williamtehgit]

It's like Dylan is doing a 1:1 tamiya scale model all the painting of the dash bits and bobs. Oh hello from the uk.

[@TheDhylton1]

Black block stripes, faux black vinyl top, or a black stripe on the trunk and rear quarter panels. It’s too nice not to have at least a bit of paint. Love your content!

[@Scotts23]

Dylan and bryer are such a good team and I really are loving this build 👍great job guys

[@Chris-2-of-3]

Great job, Dylan & Briar !! Congratulations!

[@foxman4932]

Take a shot each time Dylan mentions a company and each time he says this is going to be his favorite part of the interior

[@Jaybear669]

Keep up with the improvements and you'll need paint before long. Looks good!

[@cotynietling2567]

That interior turned out beautifully 😍

[@chrisburnett6698]

U should also have the tac lights be green as well to blend everything together and make everything even better.

[@bobsbarnworkshop7542]

Beautiful job! You guys really stepped up on this one!

[@theonerod1]

One idea next time you want to reveal paint like your dash is Fret Erasers. It actually a guitar maintenance product but it works for what you're doing. Something to keep in mind for the next go anyway.

[@davidjonorato3554]

The perfect charger. I totally agree with the route you’re going. Killer Job can’t wait to see it done. 👍👍👍

[@ravager890]

well, I gotta say that the interior looks stunning !! perhaps the next project would be to repaint it then? would love to see it in its original color again 😊😊😊😊

[@maxfalkner8849]

loving the charger series back!! BUT I WANT MORE 4 SPEED DART!!

[@Celician83]

For future reference: for dash bits covered in rust, drop them in a tub full of Vinegar for a day, wipe off the rust when done (it will literally wipe off) then soak in a tub of Baking soda water (1 cup baking soda/1gallon water) for about 15 minutes, rinse off and dry and your parts will be like new and the rust will be neutralized! To go the extra step, electroplate with Zinc. Did this to the dash frame of my 93 Celica that sat 7 years with no windows in it, turned out PERFECT!

[@douglefever7807]

Impressive, Dylan. You’ve made remarkable progress with your Charger. Well done. Now get out there and drive it!!!

[@FreedomRock44]

WOWWWWWW DYLAN that interior is so NICE and STYLIN!!!!! That black with the green is the right touch!!!!!! Good eye brother!!!!!! I have to say again.......THE CHARGER SOUNDS SO GOOD.

[@SixVoltBuss]

Awesome... silver sharpie the switch rings and lettering 👍

[@walkergillette3918]

I'm gonna clean the windows, and I'm using Windex, this stuff is amazing, wiping the windows clean using my Windex with Bounty Paper Towels, these are amazing!!

[@alwynemcintyre2184]

Looks good the way it is, clean engine bay, interior almost done (gotta leave room for improvement), good suspension/brakes, clean underneath with good exhaust. Pretty much rust free body, worn out paint, perfect patina finish.

[@kane3030150]

Love it. Green and black is my go to color scheme.

[@evan_kumar]

That was some EXCELLENT restoration Dylan!

[@danielgarrett1155]

When dying the vinyl seat covers, I have had great results by first, clean clean clean. Then, put the seat in direct sunlight, on a warm day. Let it heat up and clean again. Lastly, paint in the sunlight. Never had any peeling or cracking, and most importantly, no color transfer. Changes the color permanently. Great build, love the channel, and keep on keeping on.

[@jacobneff1916]

Man I love the two tone interior! It looks so good!!

[@dragonraiderknight4625]

Wonderful. It's making me want to do a roadsteration of my own.

[@harvo351]

Looking awesome Dylan, if you get a chance, you should put some sound deadener on the inner roof before you hit the road, it will help big time . . . I used to be from the school of shinny outside, tidy inside, but the patina look on the exterior is growing on me . . . I wouldn't be able to resist putting a shot of clear over it if I was lucky enough to have her in my garage . . . lol . . . so I'm not cured yet !! Great to see you bring her back, it was great to see you bring her round the first time . . . she's looking magic !! Nice work !!

[@jasonburgess1523]

Man, this is so nice! I've followed this build since you took it out of the woods. I'd be absolutely proud to make this my daily driver just as it sits. Nice work!

Yes please paint the car the original green and add a black vinyl roof. I think the car will look really sharp especially with the two tone interior you added.

[@G-Force_70]

I have watched the development of the Charger from the beginning and have loved all of it. Watching the interior come together is awesome and I agree the black and green makes a nice contrast. Will you be painting the body, and can you please consider putting some Magnum 500 rims on...PLEASE?!
