70-74 Dodge Challenger inner roof structure rust repair Restoration video 8
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 май 2024
- In this video I show how I go about repairing and replacing the inner roof structure on a 1970 Dodge Challenger we have in the shop. I show how I use aftermarket parts meant for a Plymouth Barracuda to patch and replace the rusted metal to make the car solid and safe again. This is one step closer to getting this old rust bucket back on the road.

Impressive work, another Mopar on the road.
Thank you and its always great for one to be brought back to life again.
Excellent workmanship with attention to detail, looking forward to the next video
Thanks a lot hopefully it will be soon working on the filming now
Another inspiring video! Great job fabricating the parts to fit!!
Thanks a lot!
As my friend George (who is the best fabricator I’ve ever known personally) used to say, “something is better than nothing”. Everyone knows the problems with reproduction parts but in many cases it beats having to make those parts by hand. This car is really shaping up nice. Good job!
Thank you and I agree with everything you said, its better to have that starting point in most cases.
Hi Rick from Steve in New Zealand. Excellent video and I really like the way you present the detail including part numbers. Many thanks for posting this video.
You're welcome and thanks a lot for the feedback and comment!
Yet again another amazing video. This one is the exact work Im doing to my wife 70 barracuda. Thanks again for the amazing instruction you give in the videos. I appreciate all you are doing. tw
Thank you very much and good luck on your build.
As always, great content. Keep em comin!
Thanks a lot and working on the next video as I type this.
Man I know I’ve asked a few questions about this part of the repair as it’s where I’m at with my Challenger and I’ll tell you it’s great to see such detail as more than any other part so far, this has been the greatest stress. As usual you showed what we needed to see and explained the process so well. Really looking forward to the next part as it pertains to the roof skin especially. Great work brother as always!
Thanks a lot I am really glad the video showed what you were looking for. Hopefully the next one will be out soon since the car was already together.
Another great video, I'm really enjoying this build thanks man
Thanks a lot I am really happy to hear that.
Excellent content......
Thank you!
Awesome work! Would REALLY like to see a first generation Monte Carlo. Doing one myself
Thank you very much, not saying 100% but down the road you might be in luck on the channel if all goes to plan.
Fantastic work. I am close to doing rockers on my daily driver. Passenger side just broke thru so I hope inner structure is still in great shape. No after market panels available so I made a template and had a local metal shop bend them up for me. I hope to video the process. Thanks for your videos
Thanks a lot, Good luck on your rockers, yea hopefully the inner structure is salvageable but be prepared for the worse usually the rust you see is the tip of the iceberg.
Very nice work...great content and thank you....🔧🔧👍
Thank you very much. I really appreciate the feedback and you watching!
I used to do all the welding & some mechanical work for a friend of mine. He was doing full builds of 55-57 Chevy's, all with LS motors and a supercharged LSA on the last 55 that he did for himself. A few of these were complete rust buckets and I didn't think that we were going to be able to pull these off... I can say seeing your work here that you make it look easy! Especially to how we did these. I wish I had seen your channel back then. These are going to last 75+ years or even more with the care and attention to detail you put into these Rick. Nice job!
Thank you very much and its really cool to hear about your experience with the tri five chevys. That is a bucket list build car that I want to do one day.
The best channel on RUclips, showing on how to build E body cars.
Thank you for sharing, Rick. 👌🏻👍🏻🙏🏻
Thank you very much for watching and commenting!
Great job... that car will outlive all of us.
Thank you and I hope so.
I keep saying I like watching your videos even though I'll never ever do a project like yours. Then next thing I know, I"m using some of your tricks on a little rust repair on a '72 Mercedes project I've got going. So thanks for all you do. Your projects look awesome even though I'll never ever do anything like those... Cheers.
Thats really cool to hear, glad they have helped. Thanks for the support and the comment!
Excellent work on adapting the Cuda parts, looks flawless Rick.
Thank you very much, I am very pleased with how they adapt over to the challenger.
Very well planned and executed. Nicely done Rick.
Thank you very much
I perso2wont be doing this kind of work, but it does explain the expenses from paying a professional. If i lived closer to you, I'd have you do the floors and rusted quarters my 82 bronco full size. It came from Washington, so she's got some rust.
Thanks a lot. That is the idea on the channel as most don't understand that haven't done the work how bad these vehicles can get. Good luck with your Bronco, I know they are notorious for rusting also and have been worked on them before.
Sorry to ask so many questions but you happen to be a very informative channel. Ospho works well but it leaves a greasy residue that primer will not stick to. I use lacquer thinner profusely and then d/a the area, but often that just uncovers a new layer of rusty-colored rusty metal. What do you do in this case? A second application of ospho? Try not to sand through the first layer?? Thank you any ideas most greatly appreciated. BTW for what it is worth I was in the USAF and spent 6 months at JSOC (then Pope AFB) back in the desert storm days...great to see a fellow veteran doing great work!
Thanks a lot and thanks for your service. For you Ospho question check out a video I have 73 challenger roof structure. I know it will be like watching this build over again but I go over Ospho in really great detail and how to use it. I think you are not getting the rust off first with a wire brush, then not removing most of all the ospho leaving that residue. I try to wipe all the ospho off the metal prior to it drying. Also you need to make sure you are using ONLY epoxy primer 2 part. Other primers will not stick to it. Even certain brand epoxy primers might not work. I never had an issue with the Omni MP170 series.
When I do it right, it lasts a long time. Great job!
Thank you. I agree I think especially in the metal work and the base you build off of this is the time to really go all out and do it right and help it last
Nice video Rick.
I’m working on getting the Ford F100 into epoxy now. It’s been a process.
Thanks for your videos and guidance.
You're welcome. It really is for sure a full process glad to hear the f100 is coming along.
Great video thanks Rick.
Thank you very much!
I did a triumph spitfire with a hand held spot welder and the welds were fine and it really hurts your hands :o)
Thanks for the info I never even thought of the hands hurting but yea I could see that now for sure.
RUST, My 87 year old 37 chef Pickup has virtually no rust. there were two spots where the back of the cab meets the floor that were bubbled. I had them patched. I since have had a new firewall and floor built to accommodate the engine trans combo. They have been sitting in bare metal in my garage in the Black Hills of South Dakota with no surface rust.
Thats very lucky to find a vehicle that old with no rust. I don't get too see that too often. Where we live you can come out the next day and there will be some surface rust on the bare metal, this time of year here metal needs to be at least covered or treated in a week.
What brought me to your channel was the 69 firebird. That was my first new car. I ordered it in a firebird specific blue, I believe it was Windward blue. Would be fun to have a 69 in that color again, but I'd upgrade the power plant to an LS or LT1
@@adubbelde1 I will bring back the firebird on the channel really soon, thanks for checking out the other videos that don't have the firebird in them
Another great video Rick 😀 I seen this area in about 2 video's ago I knew it would be a challenge 3:23. It was much better to just replace it as I knew u would because of the great work you stand behind as usual. Does anyone else see this 32:34 and think his sped up leg work would be a funny music video MEME lol
Thanks a lot. Yes certain parts of the car I think about it for a little bit before I go through cutting it all apart. I agree i think the replace aspect was the best decision in the long run.
Another great presentation. Just curious: you cite a lot of panels and braces that have no coating on the inside, which I do not dispute, but didn't they submerge the entire car in some kind of protective solution at some point in the assembly line? Thank you.
I do not believe they did for the mid 70s back cars. All different makes and models are this exact same way bare metal some don't even have primer on the outer roof structure. I believe the galvanized coating started showing up in the late 70's early 80's and that might be what you are thinking of.
Great and informative video. May I ask why you used the Cuda piece for the upper rear center brace bracket? I see that on the Dynacorn catalog they display a 3 piece roof brace 70-74 Challenger, part # 6053A. Would that not have worked on the car? The reason I am asking is because my son and I are currently restoring a 70 Challenger and we need that piece. I don't want to purchase that part if it isn't going to work. Also can you please tell me what brand of front floor you used for that car? You do awesome work. Very impressed with your skills and knowledge.
Thanks a lot. That is a great question and it came down to cost. The dynacorn bracket set was just a lot more expensive especially since I didn't need the other brackets and I felt I could get the Cuda one to work with only a little bit of effort. I haven't used that bracket set yet but I would say most of the dynacorn parts fit really well so I would have no problem trying the one you were thinking about using.
How hard would it be to buy all new parts and build the frame/body shell from scratch?
Minus the VIN issues with getting it on the road and street legal there are a few parts they don't make for these cars so you would need to source those. I would say it might be a little bit of a challenge but the key would be to have the frame JIG built off one already complete and another car to reference certain key measurements along with the glass and trim.
