Trying To Resurrect This Old Forgotten '64 Dodge 440!

After the Stay Tuned crew dragged this '64 440 out of an old body shop where it was sitting for 20 plus years, they set out to get this thing running mint and driving down the road! After some nasty rust repair, disc brakes all around, QA1 suspension, new Dorman fuel tank, and some other odds and ends, the guys see if all their hard work pays off and it'll tear down the road after sitting untouched for DECADES!

Let’s go tony. 🤘🤘Loving these long episodes bud great format. Y’all are doing great work.

[@StayTunedTA]

Glad you like them! Really appreciate it!

[@willbradley71]

Awesome episode

[@robertzeman4440]

​@@StayTunedTA🎉😂

[@josephkelly4893]

Love the idea of getting this car to usable as opposed to ‘restoration’. These builds are more realistic for what most people will actually do with their old cars. Great work gentlemen

[@christopherwedemeyer2993]

Tony agrees: "Lets put some miles on it; and see.what blows up next."

[@donmynack]

DON'T LOSE THE SHOP!!!

[@careycummings9999]

When Tony ripped that piece off the firewall exposing the rust, I was like "OH DAMN!" its much worse than they thought, but the Stay Tuned crew will get it all proper in no time! The disk brake conversion is totally the way to go. This old Dodge is going to have a second life it never could have dreamed of. Keep up the great work.

[@MarkCarr331]

Dam this dude is turning into my spirit animal with these builds 😅

Thanks so much! it's a weird one but I love it.

Always loved everything Tony is involved in, and this is no different

Don't forget the cop tires and cop shocks!

[@StayTunedTA]

It's a model before catalytic converters, so it'll run good on regular gas.

Fix the damn cigarette lighter!

[@SuperTex1966]

I love the authentic way your videos show what it actually takes to create a hot rod. This is what it's like to work on cars. I work at a retailer (that you mention) and believe me some of those people could learn something. Plus, you and your team are funny and entertaining. By the way, you look a little bit like my boss but with hair.

This is the only time I like watching guys eat food!

We’ve been talking about this car at our shop since you found it. Gonna be awesome to see it rolling around. I’ll always have a soft spot for old Mopar. Don’t lose the shop on this one!!

[@Weretarantula5]

Another Friday, another upload, another great start to the weekend! Love it :D

[@bradleylovej]

I noticed the framing, too. The cameraman is getting in there and getting close ups on stuff more often, which I like

[@smithjohn3080]

Yep now just edit out the "you ready/yeah" and you guys are almost becoming a professional show like motor trend 😂

[@smithjohn3080]

BTW just kidding not polish up too much and let the money ruin ya when it comes 😂

[@chukhentcy5642]

Hey Tony, I worked at an auto parts store in my early 20's and sold a lot of Dorman parts back then, I'm going to be 70 next month, so Good Ol' Dorman has been around quite awhile.👍👍👍

[@StayTunedTA]

Yes! That's killer. They are a good old PA company, I think they've been around 100 years?

[@scottwebster7613]

Disc brakes are going to be a great improvement. My 64 Polara hated hills lol.

[@StayTunedTA]

It's GREAT so far. I can't wait to put more miles on this hog.

[@phuzz00]

Drum brakes are the worst. Even when they're not rusted to hell, they're still a pain just to change the shoes.

[@thinairdiesel3158]

If the 383 is a factory 4 barrel, it is the HP383. My 67 Newport has one. 335hp in the muscle cars, 330hp in the c body yachts. Check the casting number on the heads. If the last three are 516 they are high compression closed chamber heads. BUT unless someone’s modified them they will eventually burn exhaust valves from unleaded gas (no hardened seats). Ask me how I know.

[@user-dw9ms3qk6u]

There is a guy here that rolls one of those cool mopars. White, red interior, 70's stance, steelies with dog dishes, and a 440 with attitude. Just a very legit, cool ride. It's nice to see you putting yours back on the street. And for what it's worth, this channel is a lot more fun to watch than Hot Rod Garage ever was. Not that you guys didn't build some cool stuff, but now it's just you and your crew rolling real, without the hollywood vibe. Rock on!

[@BrianJacobsen-vn6is]

Excellent Rusto Mod Tony.

[@79tazman]

That car is so bad ass I love those early 60's Mopars even the "Ugly ones" Like the 1962 Darts and Fury's they make awesome hot rods with a big block or hemi in them.

[@tim_henderson]

“Get it in the light…get it in the LIGHT bro!!!” the food content in the channel these days is 🔥 🔥🔥

[@MrGixxer1300r]

Nice kinda low buck cruiser. You guys did a great job getting it back on the road on a budget. Thanks for the awesome content!!

You bet! Thanks for watching! That was exactly my plan. Can't wait to put some miles down!

[@debbiebermudez5890]

Mr. B. Here ! You guys are so real, many year ago work with a group guys just like you ! 👍😎👀👍😎👀

[@TireSlayer55]

You just made my day, been stuck at home sick for 3 days, would much rather be wrenching on cars at work or on my project out in the driveway... I've been fighting the boredom mostly by rewatching old Stay Tuned episodes. I know of you from your stuff with Hot Rod & just found your channel this year, gotta say it's become my favorite channel... I love this body style of Mopars & always love beater musclecars so any uploads you do on this project is even better 👍

[@LivingOnCash]

This thing is super cool! Why I like it so much is that I'm a '70s kind of guy (class of '74) and cars like these were affordable and what all us young guys drove for our daily's. I'm digging the black steelies too but I would have run the RWL outside and added chrome lug nuts because back in the day when we couldn't afford "mags". We just pulled the hub caps off the stock wheels and ran new rubber.

[@quig89GMC]

Tony love that the 64 is back on the road. The no nonsense approach you guys take is refreshing to say the least.

[@mrsteve4313]

Love the Dodge symbols on the interior!

[@SyracuseIsOranges]

Incredible team, they bang out a video the same damn day they finish the car. Damn

[@herbertcoffin3423]

had a polara 500 the same year in 1972 when i was 17, loved that thing, old guy backed out in front of me and wrote it off . could not find another until after i retired and by that time they were all more than i could afford

[@tonykemper8896]

I am by no means a mopar guy but that is one cool daily! the fact that it sat for 20 years and now its mobbin around town is epic!

[@transmissionman9377]

When we were 15ish my friend had a four door car just like that. We would drive around gettin you know (hi) and having a blast. We lived in southhampton in bucks county ,we might even been in you end of town.That was the 70s tho

[@vintagespeed]

it's Friday, done with work, cold beer cracked open, time for StayTuned! let's go! 👍

Hey, guys, I always love your enthusiasm to getting stuff done. Tony and crew, you guys are the best. Love what you guys do always looking forward to new episodes

[@GreenCrim]

When you mentioned the springs trying to take your face off all of a sudden I was having flashbacks of holding one with some needle nose pliers, trying to get the end over the post only to lose my grip on it and have it disappear over my shoulder. Good times. 😆

[@408Satellite]

AWESOME!!! Love the car and that you saved it. I had a 4 door version. And I can't count how many Dorman parts are on my 1972 Satellite.

[@gregstarkjohann6856]

Im a hard core chevy guy but I think most every gear head respects and likes old mopar muscle.

[@michaelwhitehead5591]

Always happy to see you guys giving updates!! Fridays are better with you guys!

[@AJvsEverything]

Every time I see people working on early 60's Mopars it makes me miss my '63 Custom 880 more and more...that thing had 2.36 gears, a 383 2bbl, pushbutton 727, and got like 16mpg on the interstate...it was such a cool cruiser car to just hop into and drive anywhere...

[@quickdeuce]

Thanks for reviving yet another MoPar that likely was headed for scrap. This and the 1963 MoPar body style are my fav's of all time. So happy you gents put this beauty SAFELY with upgrades back on the road. Whether or not you keep it, whomever does end up owning it will enjoy sharing it with MoPar fans for many, many years to come.

[@roywhitman7109]

Very happy to see another MOPAR in your shop to keep your Demon company!!👍 Excellent move upgrading to all wheel discs AND newer style 3rd member!! Can't wait to see what you guy's have planned for this cruiser!! Stay safe!!

[@saleenmav]

It’s the same style third member. Would pop right into either housing. Only the axle ends are different post 64.

[@ksduathlete]

Again , you’ve really stepped up the show . This is what we all love. Realistic builds , real hot rods . Loved the rust repair man. Serious . I’m watching your show ahead of any motor-trend show on my motor trend app and Vice grip garage today. Keep up the excellent work!

[@1411MEDIA]

I watch Half Ass customs repair rust like this all the time. Killer technique

[@72plyduster1]

I have the same excitement that you have when I purchased my 440, 20 years ago, I still have my car, it now has a 440 in it with aluminum mopar cylinder heads, Indy dual 4 barrel carbs, aluminum rods, solid lifter cam and rocker arms, the last time I competed in the nostalgia ss stock event the car went 10:60 in the quarter. Go mopar!

[@lewismocaby3646]

Been packing tapered bearings that way since I was a kid. To save yourself the mess of trying to wash your hands after packing all the bearings so you’re able to handle the rotors to assemble it all on the car, wrap the rotor braking surface with SaranWrap before ever touching the grease. You can go thru the whole process without having to clean up till the end when you knock the dust caps on. The cling wrap comes off easily and has saved a boatload of time for me over the years.

[@davidjames2788]

Drum brake master cylinders typically have a residual pressure valve built in, so the wheel cylinders don’t bleed back into the master. So if the pads end up dragging, or locking up, that’s probably why.

[@mikehynes6632]

You guys are the best! Great episode gentlemen.

I drove a 64 Polara 500 through college back in the 70’s it was mint and I pad $300 for it. It had a 318 black interior and a metal flake teal factory paint that would oxidize in 10 minutes after waxing but it was bullet proof I drove it to death then sold it to a savage yard for 85 bucks….ah memories…
