Did anyone else see the rat crawl out during the dash removal? Hats off to your determination! I wouldn’t have taken on a resto like this even when I was younger. I am determined however to watching you do it from my easy chair 😂. Seriously though I wish you good luck and am looking forward to future updates.
I honestly thought you were pranking us. All the way until the floor pan showed up I thought you were any second going to say, "GOTCHA!!!" If you can fix that mess, nothing is out of your reach. Seriously impressed and now hooked on seeing this to completion!
Can we talk about the fact that this man is fully solo with no help fixing basically scrap metal that was once a cuda and is doing a phenomenal job with his only company being a rat, a car, and a camera. This man is a legend in my book.
Now THIS is a resto! This is not "Bought a clunker and dropped a performance engine in it", this is a phenomenal project you're undertaking. Can't wait to see this as it evolves (although I do wish for your sake you'd wear googles when cutting sheet metal with a chop saw!)
I'll definitely 2nd that! Safety goggles, a MUST! If u go to, get an MRI and u got micro metal particles in your eye which u may not know about, it can rip them around in your eye causing permanent blindness! 👀
I can't believe what I've just watched. I did an apprenticeship in vehicle body building and repair in 1982 and I wouldn't even know where to start on this one!! Would have thought too far gone. Total respect to you. Going to watch episode 2 now. Can't wait to see it finished.

I remember the same thing in 1984 (used lot). A lot of nice Mopars were selling for around 5k. A friend owned a mint Hemi 70 Challenger, paid 10k for it.
Really enjoy this dudes stuff, not only do I learn loads about vintage vehicles which are very cool, but I learn loads about wildlife in Arkansas, Pack rats, Red paper wasps, Dirt daubers, Copperhead snakes, lizards that live under car seats and of course the odd deer foot. Thanks for the uploads.
@@onno_vocks This. You can't rebuild a car outta rust and 90% of that that's exactly what it is. I'm guessing the vin is the only thing of value there.
The only way this makes the remotest sense is if he pays himself zero for labor, and keeps it when it's done. Any legit Mopar appraiser is going to recognize it for exactly what it is. Essentially a VIN swap.
I'm a mopar guy, this one should be saved! This is a ambitious project, good luck, and thanks for the posting can't wait to see the progress on this car.
this is how it should be done most people would look at this and say its to far gone or not worth it, but this man looked beyond the surface to see its actually worth saving and it can be saved love it FAM!
This is the type of car i would never buy after the restoration and later after the purchase find out the history of it. But as a mopar guy glad to see you take on such a big project.
This is inspiring…I felt like I was wasting my time on my 69 Road Runner…It’s no AAR Cuda but the metal work is about 10% of this repair if that…awesome, can’t wait for the next video. Thanks
Man that is one ambitious project. A bit like grand dad's old axe, it's had 3 new heads & 7 new handles!! Good on you for giving it a new life, can't wait to see it progress.
Looks easier, cheaper and faster to pull the vin plate and recreate the entire body from scratch! My opinion on this one - about one step beyond impossible. If work actually proceeds on this one, the channel will be one to watch for years! Best of luck!
Bad advice. You'd be creating a BOGUS and ILLEGAL car. Graveyard Carz restored a wrecked '71 440+6 'Cuda that was in almost as bad shape. You can here: ruclips.net/video/5W5j6WdUt8k/видео.html
My husband and I enjoy watching your channel! We looked at this cuda awhile back and we are watching it again, just noticed the rat that ran out on the left under the door. Enjoy listening to you and watching you do a great job!
I LOVE Cuda's! I would have never believed this could be saved, but there you are doing it, AWESOME! This will be a fun to watch project. Thanks for saving this one and sharing it with us!
The best cars ever made IMO the 1970 AAR Cuda and 1970 T/A Challenger were in a league of there own. Big props for bringing this one back can not wait to see the car finished. Mark of Graveyard Carz is the man to ask if you have any question he is the master of the Mopars.
WOW! This resto is like rebuilding a car from scratch and using some rusted parts as templates. Much respect man. Unbelievable. Just goes to shoe with the right guy and a lot of perseverance anything can be accomplished.
your drive and determination are second to none, and if you pull this off,then your car will be the envy of your neighbors..well im going to watch part two now.
I went through the same thing with my 69 yenko nova big block car. It had rolled off the roof of a parking garage in 71 and the owner let it sit for years until I seen it and asked if I could buy it. I rebuilt it in 86. Long before the internet so I had to search for the parts and drive many miles to get pieces, I used all new parts. Not a single used piece went on it , I guess that's why it still wins at car shows all the time, I wouldn't trade it for 2 of anything , I drive it every day and lay rubber in all 4 gears. I brought it back to life and keep it alive and it truly keeps me alive also , every time I jam a gear and dump the clutch and smoke rolls outta both rear fender wells I laugh like a crazy person cause it makes me feel 16 every time, the 427 still purrs like a kitten
AAR cudas, around 2700 made.. Yenko Nova like 38 made... your Yenko completely worth restoring in this condition.. that AAR.. someone should cut the tail panel off for a wall hanging and scrap the rest.
@@goldenhippie6352 I didn't know they only made that few yenko novas. I never looked it up, i know the 427 has more than enough power, even when I try to drive normal it spins tires, I always liked the 69 nova better than the other years , I have the air shocks pumped up all the way and the 12 inch cragers on the back with mt 50,s and it still spins every time I take off lol. I love the old cragers that's all I have ever put on it. thanks for sharing
@@coinslotsandjoysticks2572 no problem! You are one lucky man to have a Yenko Nova, been my dream car since I was a little kid.. however with them only ever making just under 40 of them that dream is slim.. the Nova was the one Yenko Don himself was afraid of and that is the reason the production numbers were so low.. it scared him to put that car into the hands of the public.
Well you have my full attention! I am going to follow this whole build! This will be one of the greatest come backs if you pul this off! Good luck sir!
Wow. I'm blown away. I stumbled upon this film and at first I thought you were joking!!!..... Now i'm subscribed and can't wait to see this project completed. Great work so far!
I like the way you condensed all that work into 22 minutes. Sometimes I don't have an hour and a half to devote to a video. Great job, looking forward to seeing it completed.
Hero's don't always use capes & you sir are my new HERO !!! new to the channel will be seeing the 1974 chevy K10 next I have a 79 wish you lived where I live again sir you the man.
EXCELLENT!!! Can’t wait to see this restoration series progress! You’ll do it no problem, but it if you get stuck, we’re here to help! Keep the great stuff coming! Thanks & God Bless 😎
You are a mad man and legend! Im gonna watch all your other videos surrounding this vehicle! I hope to one day see the finished product! God bless you man, good luck !!!!
In my experience with cars this mangled, you pull the car to square first, then start cutting. Pretty monumental task you have ahead. Good luck. Beautiful car to save.
I’ve been following this demo/build on TikTok, but I think the YT format has much more payoff! Getting to watch you actually work vs just getting the narrative is awesome! I was one of the skeptical ones, but you never cease to amaze! Love that you have all the vision and heart to stick though it! I think you could use some more tools to up your productivity… but you made a fan outta me regardless! 🔥🔥🔥
At the beginning of the video I was wondering if if you was serious, but really glad you are!! This is a serious undertaking, I work for Chrysler, I had to show a few of my buddies your undertaking.....you can do it!! I'm sure you will have many watching!! Be safe!! God Bless!!
My brother and I just started restoring a 1971 Maverick Grabber in about the same condition as yours. Our Maverick had 43000 original miles on it. The car was bought and made in to a drag car with the original 302 engine. It was rolled a couple of times and had many parts stolen out of it that were still good. The Maverick laid in the wood ever sense 1977 until 2023.
Phenomenal job dude! Too funny “She ain’t that rough” I like the direction you are going, I really thought you were joking but it’s coming along great!
It's not a joke . People like yourself are needed badly to rebuild history such as that coda. They are one of the nicest cars Plymouth built. Great job . I rebuilt a 1970 Chevelle not in as bad conditions as the cuda . I turned it in to a 1980's hot rod.
The best first episode of doing such a massive resto i've personally ever seen. No yacking on forever and a day just a short intro to the problem child and then BOOM! let's get into it. Hooked can't wait to see the end result mate. Blessings from Shropshire England.
This '70 AAR Cuda will be something once you are done bringing it back to life! It's a damn shame you found your car in the shape it was in. I can't wait for your next video to see how far along you have progressed with your Cuda. Thanks for posting your video too!
I thought you were kidding. I was waiting for a punch line for the first 5 minutes, but no, you jumped right it with both feet and got it looking a whole lot better right away. That's extremely cool. A whole bunch of visible progress in a short time. The next question is, can you sustain that enthusiasm all the way to the end? You'll have an amazing car if you can stay fired up. So far so good.
Definitely a lot more work than most people would consider taking on. You're just putting together a complicated puzzle, still a really good job considering what you started with.
This is awesome! So glad you're saving it. Reminds me of the Chris Birdsong feller restoring Chargers and whatnot. Looks like you're really making a silk purse out of her there.
Wow, this is doing gods work my friend! Amazing. Too bad more people didn't have the ambition to save stuff like this, seriously, they're not making anything like this anymore. They all deserve to be saved...lest our roads will be filled with a sea of generic grey/black/white plastic clown car lookin' JUNK.
Someone still had a title to that!?!? This is on the level of a job that Chris aka Junkerup would take on. If you are going to try to resurrect a car, this is at least a good one to invest time in. 👍
Rust Bucket Restos started with a Charger not much better than this. He too basically saved a firewall and a VIN tag. We won't even mention DIY Gang's burned out Challenger.
@@brandoncropper1259 Nope, not in a lot of states. Indiana isn't even terribly picky, but you do have to have a clear title, or go through a fairly annoying process to get one. Some states supposedly make it almost impossible. Georgia and a few others are exceptions.
Well, I guess since the car pre-dates safety, you don't really need ear and eye protective equipment now, do ya? LOL OH, I found your rat at 5:20 running under the driver's door frame.
Wow, at the start of the video that was looking to be a daunting and very ambitious project, but you have broken (literally) the steps down into manageable tasks and actually welding in new metal shows that the car can be repaired, looking forward to seeing progress, well done! At 5.15, rat is visible in the bulkhead moving, at 5.20 jumped down onto floor, where did he go? Hopefully, cleared off and did not take up residence in the garage...! Greetings from the UK!
Wrecked in 70-72, in the UK that would have turned into a pile of rust and blown away by the mid 70's 😆 Beautiful cars, looking forward to seeing it back on the road 👍

This is like one step away from finding a vin plate on the ground and restoring around it. Love it.
LOL
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
And after watching this video I'm not sure if it's even a complete Vin plate
This comment is very close to being as good as the content it's made on. Brilliant!
Came here to make a vin plate joke.
Did anyone else see the rat crawl out during the dash removal? Hats off to your determination! I wouldn’t have taken on a resto like this even when I was younger. I am determined however to watching you do it from my easy chair 😂. Seriously though I wish you good luck and am looking forward to future updates.
I was wondering if I was the only one
Yeeech! Must have been living in the heater housing, everything else is too full of holes to offer shelter. Get a cat!
05:17 drivers side straight down from the A post in that big hole ……
Yep, spotted that. At first I thought it must be a scrap of something flapping in the breeze, but this is indoors...
Watch a rat exit the car at 5:23 into the video😂
The most optimist restoration that I think I'll ever see. I'm absolutely loving it.
This is no where near as bad. But its now a collector aussie car. ruclips.net/video/fSisoRZoW-I/видео.html
The restoring a burnt hell cat is incredible too

also if you missed it. I found the rat. it crawled out from drivers dash after you losses it and moved to passenger dash bolt. around 5:15 in video
I was wondering if any body else saw that...has a nice lil shop rat now
big boy wasn't he
Whew. I had to go back and watch it again.
now the rat is in the house
Great eye Marc! Now we got the shop mascot!
'She ain't that rough'....wow. Love his use of 'we' like he has a team of 10 guys. Awesome video.
Can we talk about the fact that this man is fully solo with no help fixing basically scrap metal that was once a cuda and is doing a phenomenal job with his only company being a rat, a car, and a camera. This man is a legend in my book.
Don’t care what anybody says,this guy it’s my hero,keep on doing what your doing my friend,I love watching you bring dead cars to live

I'll definitely 2nd that!
Safety goggles, a MUST!
If u go to, get an MRI and u got micro metal particles in your eye which u may not know about, it can rip them around in your eye causing permanent blindness! 👀
a FAT WALLET is of prime PRIORITY.
And safety gloves for welding. Once you get glowing hot metal on your hands you will know why ;)
Safety always number one priority.
Number one.
What's wrong with making a clunker go fast? Sleepers are the new norm.

@@FMChimera you can register it in Vermont and transfer the reg cause that’s your title
So nice to save an oldie, especially one that was mangled...great job!
Well, I guess since the car pre-dates safety, you don't really need ear and eye protective equipment now, do ya? LOL
OH, I found your rat at 5:20 running under the driver's door frame.
You're a brave soul mate.
Good luck with the restoration.
Wow, at the start of the video that was looking to be a daunting and very ambitious project, but you have broken (literally) the steps down into manageable tasks and actually welding in new metal shows that the car can be repaired, looking forward to seeing progress, well done!
At 5.15, rat is visible in the bulkhead moving, at 5.20 jumped down onto floor, where did he go? Hopefully, cleared off and did not take up residence in the garage...!
Greetings from the UK!
Hey man thanks for being the guy that saved that car! Together with enough cutting discs and argon we can save them!
I think the AAR's came with 340's with 3X2 barrel carbs.
I hope your restoration goes well.
She is/was a real pretty, blue color.

Am amazed you're taking on this project. Amazing job.
At 5:15 you can see a rat Jump out of something on that hole in the dash right before he got cooked by that torch then he runs away at 5:20 lol
Wrecked in 70-72, in the UK that would have turned into a pile of rust and blown away by the mid 70's 😆
Beautiful cars, looking forward to seeing it back on the road 👍
Has anyone else seen the rat running away from the car?
Mad respect for what you are doing! Enjoying this build so far, just watched part 2. Coming together!
Rat at 5:20!
HAHAHHAA you got quite the eye!
Look like it was in panic mode.
I could watch you all day! I wish l had your abilities. Just amazing, keep up the good work!
Man you've taken on a massive job I like your enthusiasm
Great progress. It was just getting interesting. I will be looking forward to the next part
That’s such a special car and I absolutely can’t wait to see it finished, amazing work going on there.
I think i saw one good washer that you could start from. I admire your enthusiasm.
