1968 Dodge Charger Restoration - Episode 44 - Final Fitment & Door Gaps

[@ventgoblin8080]

I feel like your channel should be a lot bigger than it already is

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

We'll get there one day!

[@tx9cuda]

For sure. I'm learning a lot!

[@malcolmhamilton5200]

Man you've got patience. I remember adjusting and washer shimming these cars when they were only a few years old. Did a repaired 71' Satellite owned by a buddy with washers and got it so the door would open and shut, but panel gapping ? Never did any of us ever think these would be worth so much. A good running Road Runner was $300 when I was in high school. Beautiful job. Can't wait to see yours painted👍 Malcolm Ottawa Valley

[@davidjones5729]

Love the attention to detail. The paint will look awesome on that canvas! Looking forward to the next Ratty Satty video too as it's an awesome car that deserves more coverage.

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Should be up Monday!

[@MillCreekFabShop]

Heck yeah man. Sorry I missed the premiere. I was traveling home from Lisbon Ohio with a 72 c10 in tow when I saw the notification. Those gaps looking freaking amazing. It’s details like this that will set the chargers apart from others. Great job Dave.

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Next time!

[@Odawg3709]

You know damn well those gaps were never perfect! I don’t think I could wrap my head around a mopar that had perfect gaps, my mind couldnt comprehend! You do that car too good!

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

You're right! It needs crooked panels to be a true Mopar!

[@prorebuilder]

Thanks for sharing. I am still working on the quarter panel fitment and gaps on my 69. Excellent timing of your video

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Awesome! Thanks for watching!

[@JonnyMopar]

That Charger is going to be sooooo nice when it’s done.

[@rangercwgbear6352]

Oh yes he is back and can’t wait to see her in paint she going to look really great can’t wait to see hope to see you again real soon buddy

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

We're sooooo close!

[@ckane510]

Congrats on your sponsorships! Can't think of anyone more deserving! 👍

[@Mattisgarage]

Great gaps now. My 69 Satellite was not gapped like this and it shows, it is in factory settings 😂 Great job, don't forget rear marker lights 😊

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Nothing a little drilling can't fix!

[@Mattisgarage]

Btw, I have too 69 quarters for 68 project...

[@Lipmonster]

Great videos but the way you pound on that ratty satty not too surprised its hurt. Be sure to let us know what happened.

[@ellisbartlett2942]

True perfection at its finest. Love it buddy

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@tylerbarrett6652]

Talk about perfection! Lots of people talk about... very few achieve it as closely as you have. Glad to see another upload - that 68 is going to be SWEEEEET!

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Still a work in progress but damn is it looking good!

[@robjohnson3376]

Nice work those gaps looks fantastic mate, I'm with you on gapping it makes all the difference between an average build and a top tier one, It doesn't really matter on an old banger but on something you plan to paint properly it's well worth all the effort.

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Agreed! Thanks for watching!

[@SeanJoseph-s2s]

Good content...and thanks for the gapping tips...🔧🔧👍

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Ofcourse! Thanks for watching!

[@salmanahmed510]

After this video I am quite satisfied with the feet means perfection is key of success and end result is marvellous so keep going 👍

[@andybirdwell2839]

Awesome build looking forward to next one😂❤❤❤❤

[@scotttracey3748]

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Thanks Scott!

[@MITCHSLAW1970]

[@ASV9399]

Yes.... He's back🥹🥹🥹

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

I never left! This stuff just takes forever!

[@handsonhobbies6690]

Make sure you get your grill installed and check the curve fitment between the grill and fenders

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Absolutely!

[@yepyep340]

GREEN!😆

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Don’t you wish that evil on me Ricky Bobby!

[@davidklauer3422]

Long time no see!

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Thanks for watching!

[@scottkovacs7634]

Rear marker lights

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Are gone!

[@SandMountainBallistics]

What about the GTO?

[@randyrussell4331]

All that work on Ratty Satty mite as well repaint it make it Look badass it's ugly green and 🟤 brown right now.❤😮💸💵💰🏁👍💯

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

lol no way! It took mother nature 50 years to paint her this way!

[@ricksawchyn8371]

Just wondering if it’s a myth to check door gaps and alignment as well as how they latch with the doors loaded. Like in glass, regulator, and everything else that would take it to true weight.

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

I have seen shops do that. Worst case if mine sag a little once loaded would be to make a little adjustment on the hinge during final fit. No biggie.

[@acardiac5983]

I’ll see you at Duct Tape!

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Hell yeah! 😎🤙

[@peterkurtz8096]

Have your ever thought of showing your charger off at Sema and getting sponsored

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Possibly in the future! Planning on going this year & doing some networking. Having my car there is definitely on my bucket list!

[@r3drocket659]

Awesome work man! I also can't stand terrible panel gaps. Can't wait for body work and paint (still think hemi-ish orange metallic would be fire...). Hell yeah for hog dick cam in the sati! Who cares how fast it is as long as it chops the block lol.

[@jimmythecricket25]

You have a little of what i got....OCD 😂😂😂😂😂

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

I’m not the most efficient body guy, that’s for sure!

[@bobbycraig7940]

please fix to hole in fender

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Just need to drill the hole in the rear!

[@autonomous_collective]

DID YOU SEND JOE THE CRANK AND RODS YET ?? JOE HAS BEEN CALLING YOU OUT ON HIS CHANNEL.

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Fake news! Joe has been sleeping with it under his pillow for weeks!

[@kenny3217]

I hope the body work is relatively light for you, I find that part of the job to be painfully tedious.

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

I can only hope!

[@scottkovacs7634]

You never did say what color you're painting it

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Metallic grey with red stripes, red interior.

[@jeffhammond8969]

Anyone who says it doesn't matter hasn't looked at a car without good gaps. It sticks out like a sore thumb.

[@kevinclipner1217]

So what ur saying is it's 95% China made😂

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

More like 60-65%

[@kevinclipner1217]

I'm sure the work that this thing will be top notch 👍🍻

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

I can only hope 😅
