The FnF Toretto Charger Enters the Bodywork Phase

Daryl and Joe discuss the state of the bodywork and the future of the Fast and Furious Charger's hood. It's been decided the shop is building the iteration of the Charger from the beginning of the drag race with Brian's Supra. What other challenges does the shop face?

Good shit, buddy. I’m so glad you’re also building this car alongside the Supra.

[@JustDriven]

Thank you! We couldn't build one without the other!

[@frederikjacob1985]

Awesome job guys! Even it's the torretto tribute, this will be one of the best build chargers of the planet!

[@JustDriven]

Thank you! This Charger will turn heads. If they don't see right away, they'll for sure hear it!

[@jamesk3565]

makes sense using the real hood. really happy to have seen an update on the charger!!

[@JustDriven]

Thank you. Sorry it's been a minute. We all got so excited about the progress on the Supra and the Roadrunner!

[@tomw7334]

Joe is the man! I wish I could get panel gaps like that on my '68 Land Rover! Can't wait to see this thing with some fresh paint on it. Great, great work guys.

[@JustDriven]

Thank you! Yah, he really spent days getting parts to line up like that. Masterful!

[@MarkMeadows90]

Keep up the great work you guys. I found this channel through Craig Lieberman as well. He was talking about you guys working on the Supra replica, and I had to jump in the bandwagon. Take all the time you have to do to get these two cars done. No need to rush!

[@JustDriven]

Thank you so much! We don't plan on rushing anything. We tend to love and appreciate all our builds. Some call it obsession but it's a little more than that!

[@compoundlml7156]

It's going to be absolutely amazing seeing these 2 cars together!!!!

[@JustDriven]

We are pretty excited to see them lineup down on PCH.

[@Kitchevo]

Charger looks stunning!!! Can’t wait! Dare I mention an eclipse? Like a faithful recreation and not a Throtl style build. That would be the true Tri-fector

[@JustDriven]

Eclipse build already underway. If you look at some of our past videos you'll spot it. Also, James has been hard at work digging up parts for it. Look for a video update on that build soon.

[@margar1983]

I discovered the channel from Craig Lieberman and man I’m glad I did. Love love the Fast builds but really getting into the older videos as well. Awesome work. Keep it up. Phenomenal

[@JustDriven]

Wow! Thank you so much for your kind words!

[@impala1330]

That's how I came across this channel too🙂

[@YOEL_44]

Yep, he's been doing some great promotion, still, I feel like this channel deserves so much more, I can't quite understand why the algorithm doesn't pick it up.

[@JustDriven]

We appreciate all the love and support! Start sharing the videos too! That would help us tremendously!

[@marcocoetzee6880]

Joe really does a great job. He definitely Makes the difference. Daryl. I take my hat off to you, for trying to deal with all of this for success. Great video. Very enjoyable to see. Make it happen.

[@JustDriven]

Thank you so much! We all work hard to get these cars done with love and attention to details. Joe is a hard worker and does amazing things.

It's Daryl's favorite too. So you can bet he's all over this one! Thank you for your support!

[@alanbryson68]

I really like that you build cars properly The amount of builds that are half arsed especially black like you say it shows so so much when the prep isn’t anything but 110% Im really looking forward to seeing this and the supra finished side by side 😎😎😎

[@JustDriven]

Thank you! We do our best to have the passion show up on screen. We all love what we do and want to share it with all of you!

Thank you so much for your support! If you tap on the little icon of the bell. KZbin will send you a notification when we release a new video.

[@ae.collective]

The attention to detail that Joe has is amazing. The work is beautiful!!

[@JustDriven]

We will let him know you said so! Thank you again for your support and for all your wonderful comments.

[@mattknight2022]

Joe has incredible hands, very talented man. What a job ! So happy you guys are building this charger. It has been one of my dream cars since the movie. As always your attention to detail and dedication to these builds are inspirational. Can't wait to see more, keep up the great work!

[@JustDriven]

Thank you so much! We will let Joe know you said so. We want our passion to show up on screen. These cars are dream cars for so many and we are careful to treat them with reverence.

[@jeremywillis7407]

Well I guess if you go with the 572. You could a least use the Enderle "Buzzard catcher scoop. Not Bug but Buzzard.. the big scoop. You would have to use the 3" inch Enderle injector spacer to adapt it to your blower and that's exactly what was on the Charger in the movie.

[@JustDriven]

We are changing things up and going for the lesser known "Any Flying Creature Catcher Scoop."

[@jeremywillis7407]

@@JustDriven I'd put the Big Mother Clucker myself.

[@transformer01able]

Can’t wait 🔥 love the fast and furious builds

[@JustDriven]

Thank you! We are enjoying the process of building them so far. Well, maybe not finding parts. That pretty much sucks.

[@thebandit7408]

Fill up the holes for the tail light trim. No need to paint the 70 trim and install it. To be accurate leave it off and fill the holes

[@JustDriven]

We like this idea. It's a bit more work, but that has NEVER stopped us before.

[@thebandit7408]

@@JustDriven so supra gets 200% accuracy and the charger gets " we think this is better" ? Granted its ur cars but that isn't rt

[@ATEAM3DPRINTING]

@@JustDriven as bandit said and as I have stated, the Supra is getting WAY more accuracy than the charger which isn't right, the Supra got a 25K paint job, with movie accurate designs and correct placements for everything, the charger is being treated like its nothing 🙄

[@JustDriven]

None of us here can figure out where this "treated like crap" is coming from. Nothing in this video shows it being treated poorly. The panel gaps. The vinyl top delete. The metal hood. The very very very expensive engine build. The rear panel was purchased but it was never stated we were using it. We love and appreciate the passion. We have the same passion. Trust us. You see the Supra? This Charger is going to dominate.

[@sic33rthanyou86]

Love the videos keep them Coming please

[@JustDriven]

You got it!

[@dreed5965]

Definitely the right choice on the hood, great update video as always

[@JustDriven]

Thank you!

[@launceherron]

Awesome content. Could you open the hood forward to help with clearing the supercharger

[@JustDriven]

Thank you! Forward or backward the supercharger is so high and nearly dead center it would hit.

[@neallowey7383]

Maybe wrap the molding, that way your perfect trim part, can be reversed at a later date....

[@JustDriven]

We have to convince Daryl this is going to stay the Toretto Charger. He has issues with commitment!

[@jeremywillis7407]

Little known fact.. some 70 Chargers had the early model 69 rear tail light housing. No trim.

[@dankpupdaddy]

It would be interesting to see the frame under the panels that were put on for fitmit. Pre fitment it looked like there was surface rust, but then from brief glances it looks like everything under the panels was painted black

[@JustDriven]

All panels were sanded down and any rust was repaired. The same with the body.

[@DSMjake]

Finally a charger Update

[@JustDriven]

Sorry! It's been waiting parts and the engine. Some of this is starting to trickle in so we had Joe go to town!

[@arcadiagreen150]

Hurts my soul to see a factory hood get chopped. Godspeed 😥🙏

[@tinystar3010]

Same. I'd rather see them use a repo hood and save the original for if they choose to ever revert the blower on it. Never know in the future if someone would change it away from a FnF replica.

[@JustDriven]

We've thought on and debated this for months. We all agreed this is the way.

[@YOEL_44]

@@JustDriven Keep the cutout metal for a future restoration lol

[@jacobasuncion3132]

Can’t wait to see this car when done it’s going to look sharp

[@JustDriven]

Joe has done such a great job with the lines and the gaps. It'll look amazing!

[@YOEL_44]

For the rear light trim, use PlastiDip (or FullDip) then paint over it, this way you will protect instead of destroy the original part

[@JustDriven]

Good idea.

[@72Dexter72Manley72]

At 5:53 I'm seeing a 74 Datsun 260Z or 75-78 280Z next to the other Chargers. 👀👀👀👀 👍🏽👍🏽 I have a 74 260Z and love these cars.

Hey! We replied to your other comment on the Eclipse. We didn't forget about it!

[@Schultzy1992]

Are you guys going have the 15s or 19s sizes rims?

[@kingperfection1868]

More excited for this than the supra. The supra is over done and yes people try to recreate the charger but usually it's totally incorrect or it's like a fast 4 and up style charger nobody had made a accurate ff1 charger so this build has my attention

[@JustDriven]

We appreciate your trust in us and we hope you love this thing! It's going to be amazing!

[@hilanddoug]

Pausing the frame at 5:48 it appears that the movie car does not have the chrome trim piece that you so want to avoid painting black. Looks to me like they filled the holes because they couldn't find the piece or didn't need to find it, and painted it over for a smoother look.

[@JustDriven]

Yah, we noticed that. Not sure if we are going to wold the holes shut or cover the panel in black. That is the current debate around the shop. What do you think?

[@hilanddoug]

@@JustDriven I'll answer your question with a question: Which is easier, re-drilling the holes or re-chroming the 'hard to find' trim piece? I'd wager drilling the holes would be easier, but I have very limited experience! I'm just learning on someone else's projects- a bit of hands-on sheet steel body work on the King Zero and some frame fabrication and miscellaneous for the F1 Hot Rod over on the Casey Putsch channel. Exceptionally rewarding work and I've learned a lot. I've been enjoying your work here and your collab with Craig with the coverage on both channels for that build. You seem to have a calm passion for what you do and a good rapport with your crew that makes the channel enjoyable. Keep up the great work!

[@JustDriven]

Thank you! We appreciate your input and your support. We are leaning toward filling the holes. Our goal is to be as close to the movie as possible so filling the holes is most likely. But it wold look more "finished" with the trim. Does that make sense?

[@hilanddoug]

@@JustDriven It does. I understand your dilemma and cast my vote for filling the holes for the movie car look.

[@davidrocha1419]

The right way to do the tail lights is get 1969 taillights and paint the chrome black . Don't use the 70 trim it won't look right

[@JustDriven]

Thanks for the input!

[@josephinesoldatos2307]

love a black one

[@JustDriven]

It's going to look so good in black!

[@Demonkah]

It always bugged me that the movie did not had the door-caps with the R/T badge! It was the only model that had it, and they couldn't even do that correct?

[@JustDriven]

There was a few corners they cut for whatever reason. We want to do it correct but keep it faithful to that scene at the stop light.

[@jeremywillis7407]

Not all 70's had those.

[@ATEAM3DPRINTING]

wrap the bezzil instead of paint

We don't love wrapping things. We may just not use it.

[@AlenGarner]

I know where the real one is at.

[@JustDriven]

Nice! Which one? There was several.

[@Mark_5150]

I think you guys picked the wrong franchise to start duplicating the cars from, you'll run out of garage space before you build them all. You'll have an incredible collection though.

[@JustDriven]

Or maybe we just need a bigger garage?! Thank you for your support! We love the franchise in part because of all the different types of cars! Japanese and Domestic? Yes please!

[@ATEAM3DPRINTING]

You just told another user you wanna make it correct and keep it faithful to the scene at the stop light, sorry but the one at the stop light didn't have 70 taillight trim, nor did it have AC and everything was covered in sheet metal, but you guys wanna go off and make the Supra as "Correct and faithful" as it was at the stop light, from a 25K paint job, correct placements for everything, proper interior, and we all know the correct decals, but wanna treat the charger like it's a Honda civic, I get you want AC and etc. But why not do it accurately and then go back later on and add everything back instead of having users complain that it's not even gonna be movie accurate when this is something alot of people have waited on

[@JustDriven]

You really don't want AC do you? We can all appreciate your stance on it but the interior isn't complete yet. Who knows what the future holds for this? We are always debating and trying to figure out what works best for the build and our own personal tastes. Can you appreciate what's been done so far? Do you like the decision on the engine build?

[@ATEAM3DPRINTING]

@@JustDriven when you put 100% effort into the Supra and none into the charger, what do you expect? Granted AC is nice, but as we said, when you put ALL the effort into the Supra and little pieces into the charger, what's the point? It's like building an Eleanor replica with a 65 notchback

[@ATEAM3DPRINTING]

@@JustDriven and we get it, AC is nice, I drove around in a car for months on end without a working compressor, but when you look at it from a fans point of view and see 25 update videos on the Supra, correct paint job, spoiler, etc. You start to feel a but cheated

[@JustDriven]

Don't need to feel cheated. We think you'll be really happy with the Charger when it's complete. You'll just have to hang in there and trust us!

PLASTIDIP the molding flat black it's paint that peels off. :)

[@JustDriven]

Yikes! If we are cutting the hood we likely won't be using plastidip for the molding. Good idea though. You must know Daryl has commitment issues!

[@joshuawaters12]

Ruined an original non reproduced hood. Fiber glass was the way to go if you need a hole in it

[@JustDriven]

We debated this for a long time. This Charger will live its life as the Toretto Charger. We talked about fiberglass but it wouldn't look as good as we want it to in the end.
