Thank you for the update on the Charger. The body lines and door gaps look way better than when it was new. Roger and his talented crew have done an amazing job on Charger, I can't wait to see the body with it's fresh coat of Y2 yellow. I am very anxious to see the Charger back at Nick's Garage, then the real fun starts, reassembly. Nick, thank you for taking the time to drive over to Roger's shop for the update. Some times you just have to step away from the shop for a few minutes to clear your head, it's good therapy. I loved the video George, everything was so clear and the sound was excellent, it seemed like I was right there with you while you were making the video. I'm already looking forward to the next update. I see that the Charger is in good company at Roger's shop, lots of nice hotrods in the background.
It's super clean Thanks to Roger and the Showtime team I wanna see it put together so bad Some of the best content I've ever had Thanks Eugene of the crop Your car is the cream
Eugene, I'm not sure how to tell you this but I am in love with your car. I hope you don't mind but I am after all only human. So beautiful and she isn't even wearing any makeup yet. Imagine what she is going to look like when she is ready for her first dance?
Roger does some real fine work , wish i could afford to have my car done by showtime . That charger has never looked better everything lines up perfectly
Eugenes Charger is looking bold and bright Perfectly primed in the white Roger from Showtime has been working day and night Paint preperation takes dedication Taking the correct steps to avoid frustration This Charger 500 is gonna be a true sensation and at the drag strip it'll cause devastation Thanks to Nick's Garage and Eugene for sharing this beautiful creation
I know exactly what you’re talking about I have the same problem with my boat repair business. We can only do the best we can hang in there buddy and have a great week.
A Charger 500 update? About dang time, y'all! ROAD TRIP! *ROGER!* Those gaps are amazing, sir. Nick is correct - our beloved Mopars never came new with perfect gaps and now you have *Eugene's* as close to that as I've ever seen. The lines and everything are beautiful! It's time to get her shot and back to Nick. Great job, Roger! -Ed on the Ridge
Nicks garage a little hole in the wall in the middle of nowhere in Quebec becoming the epicenter of all things mopar in North America and quickly become a world wide phenomenon wow who doesn't love the second gen charger body style the most awarded body style ever to come out of any factory fantastic
I think this is the most anticipated build in North America! I saw the new Bronco and I was hrmmpff.... saw the 2021s....hrmmpf. We're all waiting for this Charger!!! Thanks for sharing each one of these steps so we can live vicariously through you.
The shop doing Charger 500 body work is doing a fantastic job. I don’t care what anyone says but the 68,69 and 70 Dodge Chargers are some of the nicest American cars ever built. Beautiful from every angle!
The thing I really love about this model, when looking from behind how wide the top of the rear quarter panels are just like the Testa Rossa Ferrari, different cars but you know what I mean.
Nick's garage is one of the most respected shops in the world I feel like you are a icon for dodge they should recognize that as you keep all there older cars alive. Stay safe wish you all the best
Thank you Nick for showing us where the Charger 500 is at and man it is looking spot on at this time in primer and everything looks lined up nicely. I bet Eugene is more than happy with the car thus far. George you took some awesome shots top videoing too. Stay safe all and thanks for sharing.
Sending you karma Nick, don’t let your dedication to your craft get the best of you. These are trying times all around. We are all very proud of your work and anything that stands in the way of getting it done will be overcome professionally. You guys are some of the best, but my personal favorites too. 🤙🏻🤩🚗💨💨
....right?! That is EXACTLY what it made me think of, when I saw it!! I used to get SO excited whenever I would get a model car into the "body - in - primer" stage...
I feel for you Nick. I'm sure that most people want to know how much it will cost and how long it's going to take right off the bat. That's hard to guess with those older cars when parts can be difficult to find. Some cars are like opening a can of worms when you start taking them apart. But at least you got a great car to start with - this time. It's going to turn out great!
I didn't go down the "chrysler path" when I started working on cars, but Lord, the lines on that body design - still spectacular after all these decades:)
Hi Nick and team! Always looking forward to a new episode of your weekly show. I regularly said 'Hi from Belgium' to you in several of your LIVE show's and you always replied to me which means a lot to me, you know. Since I watch your show my love for real old school American Musclecars has hugely increased! Kind regards from Belgium, Harald
I agree Nick 200 percent been in this business a long time some times old or new you sometimes waste more time chasing down parts than working on the car itself . Nick no matter how much you charge you never get paid for the agravation that some jobs create and as you get older it makes for a long day but how do replace the feeling when you turn the key and the car is fixed !
Nick eugenes chargers looking great cant wait til the world see's it Canadians aren't a joke the mopar man nick is a master can't wait to see it finished
Thanks for sharing your heart, Nick - what we as viewers see is mostly the fun and good stuff - but I'm quite sure there's a lot of blood, sweat and tears going on as well - lots of pressures and challenges no doubt, especially in this last year - just don't forget to breathe - all the best !!
Watching you walk around the Charger's body. I had a vision of what the design team in Detroit had when they sculpted the shape from a massive block of clay. Imagine what was going through the stylist's mind as it progressed. It's simply an amazing design. Thanks Nick.
This is the best thing I love watching on this channel. Watchin nicks challenger being restored was orgasmic and reliving the experience again with the 500 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
If you go to Showtime Muscle Cars and look at Roger's FB page, he did another update on the Charger yesterday. It shows the left side of the car with guide coat applied, which shows high and low spots along the side of the car. This is the final step before it heads to the paint booth. The rest of the car is ready for paint. I can't wait to see the Charger painted Y2 yellow.
The 500 will be better than new, it will be exhibition grade + extra. Eugene is fortunate to have that car in such competent hands. It's starting to become eye candy, even in primer, no doubt!
Courage Nick on sent que la fatigue est la ! Les beaux jours arrivent et l énergie avec. Merci pour ton temps, ta passion qui nous permettent de rêver. Je n ai toujours adoré que les Dodge impossible de dire pourquoi mais frissons à chaque fois. Ménagez vous et prenez soin de vous Jim
The Charger 500 is looking great! Glad you were able to make some time to get away from the day to day shop operations, as we all know there is no such thing as a perfect job to work! Keep up the great work and video content! I look forward to it.
Most people have little Idea about how much work goes into fully restoring cars. I worked in Restoration shop out of high school for 5-6 years. Use to wetsand tell my finger tips bled from actually sanding the skin off.. Sand blasting for hours on frames and parts in blast cabinets and taking apart every part of a car labeling and marking wires, fixing and re-taping them and color sanding with 1200-1500 grit paper that's basically like one step above industrial toilet paper in grit!
Hello Nick! I haven't been comenting on your videos lately. I have been sick. I just got out of the Hospital 05/10/21 Monday. I had hernia/infected mesh/abdominal wall reconstructon surgery. Then contracted MERSA infection and a second surgury, 12 days in the Hospital. I'm better. So here's my comment: "Love your You Tube Channel!" "Love the Dodge Charger 500!" Seeing it restored will be a treat!" "Don Garlets is the only other person that owns a Charger 500 in his private collection next to his Plymouth Superbird and Dodge Charger Daytona! "$$$$!!!" He's 86 years old and still going pretty strong for his age without his wife Pat😪. Love the old clasic cars you work on. I wish you had a 1969 Pontiac Firebird. Those car cars are very rarely seen and hard to keep running and rolling. "CATCH'CHA'LATA ALIGATOR!!!"
Ouch! Sounds like a major rebuild. So good to hear that you’re feeling better and back home. Thanks for the kind comments and take care. We muscle car lovers have to stick around. There’s a lotta alligators to catch!
That was great, thanks. Thanks for sharing some of the frustrations with being in this business. I can relate to all of it. We schedule work as carefully as we can, but things can go south in a heartbeat, and then it snowballs from there. The shop is very busy - and we schedule thinking OK this will take 2 days and be out of here. Then something doesn't work out. Meanwhile we have a full schedule for weeks after that one was supposed to be gone. So now we have to fit the 2 day job into the full schedule later somehow - not easy, and space becomes a problem. Some customers are cool and say whenever it gets done, that's fine. Others say the same thing and call 2 hours later and ask it it's done yet. Sometimes seeing the same person over and over on the caller ID stresses us right out, to the point of we want to turn off the phone. Anyways, we could go on and on about how things don't always go as planned. All we can do is our best, and that's it. It's easy to say don't get too stressed out about things - but when we care about our business and keeping people happy and doing things right, that's not so easy, either.
That's going to turn out amazing. The gaps are incredible. For the shop turnaround, don't let things out of your control weigh your shoulders. We are in tricky times overall, so we can only do our best.
I tell you good luck on the tremendous amount of work you have to do to put it together !!! What and superb body work thanks for Roger !! I admire every People who work in the restoring business, it takes guts and brain of steel to take the pressure and it takes a lot of passion !!!! Thanks nick, vassily !! Take care !!!
That's going to be a beautiful Charger Nick! Chargers have always been my favorite! I've owned 2 1968's 1 1969 and 1 1970, sadly life happened and I sold them and now another one is out of reach, I had to settle for cheaper A bodys nowadays. Great episode, thanks for sharing!
Good morning Nick and crew!!! I just am in awe of such great videos: George, you are the artiste magnifique!!! That Charger is gonna be 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!!!! I hope to get my hands on a Dart or Barracuda one day: I'm 63, but I STILL feel like I have some creative fire in my bones, I've been a car nut since FOREVER!! Keep up the excellence, Nick and have a great day, all!!!!
I look forward to see the Charger 500 being put back together just as Nicks white Challenger was done. Nick said he owned may Mopars but never a Charger. I kick myself sometimes. A friend tried to sell me his 1974 Charger years ago. I was into E body Challengers and Barracudas back then and didn't want some long nose big car like a Charger.
I was in the middle of watching Powernation rebuilding of a flat head V8 when I saw this pop up. Bypassed to here first, going back after. Speaking of dreams, sometimes it's a dream, sometimes a nightmare. In regard to nightmares I'm still dealing with that Hummer H3, so I have to dig deeper. I got it to run and due to not having the tools I had to wait. Now I have tools and I'm just getting started. While I've got the crank out I see that I have to mirror polish the crank pin journals, I may want to throw some fluid to clean out the journals and I'm gonna be taking a deeper look. The oil pump seals had to have exploded for a reason. I got to thinking that I might even want to look closer at the cam. Now, I've thought about replacing the crankshaft. Down side is, it has been discontinued as of Covid. I have to work with what I have.
Hey Nick, hope your well and staying safe....as Mr Eastwood once said, a man’s got to know his limitations.....take the weight off every now n then. All the best from Oz!
I chuckle every time Nick mentions the less-than perfect way Chrysler's door panels were hung from the factory, uneven gaps and seams. Our family was Plymouth all-the-way when I was young... and if some of the doors on those cars were misaligned any worse, they would be on upside down. When will we get to see a winged car in Nick's shop? That would be an eye-popper!
Just a blast from the past; I was reading up on the scene in Bullitt, between the '68 Mustang Fastback and the '68 Charger R/T. The Mustang had to be heavily modified to just keep up with the Charger. The only thing that the Charger couldn't do was corner, bad understeer. I am thinking that could be fixed in '21.
NICK, WOW! That Charger is a beautiful car. Which reminds me- Have you ever heard what goes on at the Ford Motor co design studio? Near the design studio FORD has a warehouse full of every model car & truck Ford has ever built. When ever a designer wants to pull a vehicle out of the warehouse, the design studio chief makes them wash the vehicle. By HAND. He wants them to not just look at the vehicles lines, he wants them to FEEL the lines. He wants them to run their hand along the fender & across the hood. He wants then to feel the wheel arches & the roof. The chief feels that his designers get so much more out of washing a car than just a look. !
Nick, I feel that I know how you feel about all the pressure. Hang in there! What you need is a good whiff of Kowalski tire smoke, a few seconds of that unique mystery “growl” that only your makes when you ‘drop the hammer’ in second gear (you know the one - not a rattle, but definitely one only found in the Kowalski when under hard power) and few minutes spent hand-washing each and every inch of your creation.....😎 And George, great footage, audio was great, views well thought out, but the distinctive body shop smell didn’t come through very well! Better check into that! 😉
I volunteer in a restoration shop in the san Francisco bay area one day a week, we are always way behind in finding part's for these old cars the owners get mad at me, and I'm a volunteer!
Seems Nick Needs a Bigger Shop 🏪 To Have More Room For All These Magnificent Muscle Cars. Nick You & All People Involved Are Doing a Fantastic Job Great Videos From: Aurora, Ohio
Nick, Eugene's '69 Charger looks really great in primer. It should be a fantastic car once everything is completed. I'm celebrating something too. Almost four years ago my '12 Chrysler 200 convertible suffered a hit and run while I was driving north on I 25 from visiting my Uncle. Thanks to the latest Federal stimulus I was able to pay the $2171 for the rear fascia restoration. Certainly body shop work even on a lesser scale is costly. Congratulations on your Charger 500 Eugene.
Just bought a 64 440 318 push button. Going to be coming up from southeast missouri eventually with my grandma (she loves canada and I'd love to take her while I can) to have you help me complete my build someday. Who knows I might have a trailer of mopar to bring you by then.

I look forward to see the Charger 500 being put back together just as Nicks white Challenger was done. Nick said he owned may Mopars but never a Charger. I kick myself sometimes. A friend tried to sell me his 1974 Charger years ago. I was into E body Challengers and Barracudas back then and didn't want some long nose big car like a Charger.
Nick is one tough MAN
The JOB may be a dream but sometimes the WORK can be a nightmare. How bout that Nick?
Right on, Wizzard.
I was in the middle of watching Powernation rebuilding of a flat head V8 when I saw this pop up. Bypassed to here first, going back after.
Speaking of dreams, sometimes it's a dream, sometimes a nightmare. In regard to nightmares I'm still dealing with that Hummer H3, so I have to dig deeper. I got it to run and due to not having the tools I had to wait. Now I have tools and I'm just getting started. While I've got the crank out I see that I have to mirror polish the crank pin journals, I may want to throw some fluid to clean out the journals and I'm gonna be taking a deeper look. The oil pump seals had to have exploded for a reason. I got to thinking that I might even want to look closer at the cam.
Now, I've thought about replacing the crankshaft. Down side is, it has been discontinued as of Covid. I have to work with what I have.
Omg Nic you're a legend.
What a car! Friggin AWESOME
Hey Nick, hope your well and staying safe....as Mr Eastwood once said, a man’s got to know his limitations.....take the weight off every now n then. All the best from Oz!
I chuckle every time Nick mentions the less-than perfect way Chrysler's door panels were hung from the factory, uneven gaps and seams. Our family was Plymouth all-the-way when I was young... and if some of the doors on those cars were misaligned any worse, they would be on upside down.
When will we get to see a winged car in Nick's shop? That would be an eye-popper!
Even in primer and partial assembly I can tell a Charger. Classic American Muscle car enjoyed and coveted around the world.
Awesome and by the way thank you so much for the awesome quick response on my hemi engine numbers
Never knew that about the GT 500 trunk. Thanks
Just a blast from the past;
I was reading up on the scene in Bullitt, between the '68 Mustang Fastback and the '68 Charger R/T. The Mustang had to be heavily modified to just keep up with the Charger. The only thing that the Charger couldn't do was corner, bad understeer. I am thinking that could be fixed in '21.
Love the John Milner car,very American Hot Rod!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
this will be one of the best documented & restored charger 500 in existence , cool.
NICK,
WOW! That Charger is a beautiful car. Which reminds me-
Have you ever heard what goes on at the Ford Motor co design studio?
Near the design studio FORD has a warehouse full of every model car &
truck Ford has ever built. When ever a designer wants to pull a vehicle
out of the warehouse, the design studio chief makes them wash the
vehicle. By HAND. He wants them to not just look at the vehicles lines,
he wants them to FEEL the lines. He wants them to run their hand along
the fender & across the hood. He wants then to feel the wheel arches & the
roof. The chief feels that his designers get so much more out of washing a
car than just a look.

Great video Nick! #1 rule on Ford Focus...if you open the hood it will blow a head gasket! Haha take care!
Great update, many thanks to you n your guys Nick 👍
You are the best Nick, keep up the god work...
von. Thank you.
Loving this build
If I didn't know better, I would think that Nick really lusts after the Charger 500.
Nick, I feel that I know how you feel about all the pressure. Hang in there! What you need is a good whiff of Kowalski tire smoke, a few seconds of that unique mystery “growl” that only your makes when you ‘drop the hammer’ in second gear (you know the one - not a rattle, but definitely one only found in the Kowalski when under hard power) and few minutes spent hand-washing each and every inch of your creation.....😎
And George, great footage, audio was great, views well thought out, but the distinctive body shop smell didn’t come through very well! Better check into that! 😉
I volunteer in a restoration shop in the san Francisco bay area one day a week, we are always way behind in finding part's for these old cars the owners get mad at me, and I'm a volunteer!
Dog. We just try our best. Stay safe.
such a sweet ride!
Mornin Mr Nick!! Have a Great week!!
Morning!
Nick that’s a really great gob done on the 500
The 500s body lines are beautiful
The car looks like it is flying.
@@NicksGarage LOL it’s one of The flying cars we are promised. Where is George Jetson
Seems Nick Needs a Bigger Shop 🏪 To Have More Room For All These Magnificent Muscle Cars. Nick You & All People Involved Are Doing a Fantastic Job Great Videos
From: Aurora, Ohio
That would be cool!
I did door fit and hood fit at Chrysler WIndsor in 1975 76. on Charger, Cordoba those fits look good to me
Nick, Eugene's '69 Charger looks really great in primer. It should be a fantastic car once everything is completed. I'm celebrating something too. Almost four years ago my '12 Chrysler 200 convertible suffered a hit and run while I was driving north on I 25 from visiting my Uncle. Thanks to the latest Federal stimulus I was able to pay the $2171 for the rear fascia restoration. Certainly body shop work even on a lesser scale is costly. Congratulations on your Charger 500 Eugene.
Enjoy that car, Dan.
@@NicksGarage Thank you Nick.
Just bought a 64 440 318 push button. Going to be coming up from southeast missouri eventually with my grandma (she loves canada and I'd love to take her while I can) to have you help me complete my build someday. Who knows I might have a trailer of mopar to bring you by then.
All worth the wait sweeet charger 500
