The 57 Bel Air collab is going to be the restoration of the century 👀 cant wait to see what you do with it
I am pretty excited for Sure!!
Glad you commented, makes it's easier to go find your channel since *ahem* somebody didn't put a link in the description
I’d love to have this beauty. Did you all get into it?
@@RobbyLayton Got an impersonation @muttgs. I reported them but gave them my phone number. Didn't think it through. 😕 didn't give out my address.
@@RobbyLayton Robby I think it needs a new color one of Mopar's bright color sublime green 💚 or or the purple 💜 can't remember the color name it's plum crazy purple I believe
I like the idea of mixing up an upgraded green. Something that nods to the original, but with some modern pop.
The lighter green go green would give it that pop like you're saying, while keeping it a color that was available from the factory
The seat belt brackets on the visors are for the shoulder straps. In the late 60s Mopars they were not retractable or auto adjusting, the brackets were there so you could store them up out of the way when not in use.
A lot of cars in that era used the same seatbelt setup.
Apparently the shoulder straps in the Charger had been removed somewhere along the way. Otherwise, you would have had to unhook them to get the visor off. My Dad's '69 Chrysler Newport still has the shoulder straps hooked up there. I don't think they every got unhooked, not even once.
Being I owned a 1975 Plymouth Scamp painted Forest Metallic Green I can confidently say that is the same color and you should repaint it to the same color.
I went to the WDDetailing channel. The V on the front of the hood being silver means it originally had a 265 small block and not a 283. The V for a 283 was designated by a gold V. If it is the original, it will have an oil filter canister instead of a remote filter as the 55 version of the 265. Big improvement for filtering and oiling. Be aware, if you actually restore it and use the engine, you cannot upgrade to a camshaft without a slot on the rear jorunal without combining the 2 oil feed holes at the rear bearing tunnel. All tri-fives used the slotted cam. If upgraded as is, you will pay dearly for cutting off lubrication to upper end of the engine. It would be nice to see it restored and not turned into a retro mod. This car is one fantastic find. Danchuk is pretty much out of business. If you need restoration parts, Cars Inc. in MIchigan and Ol' 55 aka East Coast Chevy in PA are probably the best place to get new parts. Cars has the original pattern material for interiors and they stamp correct gauge sheet metal as well as fill in with some import metal. Your daughter is a real cutie.
; Your daughter is a cutie.
I used to be an auto glass installer and nothing is skechier then watching Robbie and Hillbilly pull that windshield knowing it's rariety.
Robby is being dramatic. Summit Racing shows replacement 69 Charger windshields for $299. With this car being a Hellcat swap the original factory issued date coded glass isn't important.
A lot of people don't realise that glass, all glass, gets more brittle as it ages. I have been handling using cutting glass since the mid 60's and often get people ask me to to cut or trim a piece of their own glass for them, this I do but always stress that it is at their own risk. With old glass I always warm it to at least room temp too. I was at the Glass and Glazing exhibition in Washington in the 80's and also been 5 times to exhibitions and glass factories in Germany.
Hey Guys, I live in Indiana and love barn/field finds. Something to really look at is the undercarriage on that 57. The Midwest is heavy wet and nuts/bolts will be rusted beyond tight. The other issue we have is our grass grows high and traps the moisture against the belly. Have a blast on the road trip and be safe!
It's great to see Hilly Billy's confidence in front of the camera grow
I was thinking the same!!
The degenerate smoking some camels
I know what you mean, it's ironic how a person who is so self assured in so many other things just feels lost when you put a camera in front of them.
Please go with the OE green, so much easier down the road if something happens. AND, it's a really nice color.
Yes, Go with the original Green.
I would paint the Charger the original green. Go crazy with the paint on the Snow Cat.
My husband and I restored cars. He was a stickler for keeping the original color. There is usually a plate in the engine doghouse that says original color or vin# some times gives a clue. I was not a fan of keeping original everything but I came to agree with color and I'm sure Robbie can mix up original color with some flake or super glossy that will make it original but better.
Most anything metallic is a good look. I've seen metallic green and it just looked classy.
I think he should paint it the original factory brown.
What I hate is when the exterior color is changed, but the door jams and trunk are left original
Since it’s not stock restoration anything goes. Dodge had an orange so how about how about candy orange?
It was definitely a green car. Those Sea Land containers are going to help you keep the shop clean and well organized. You have several projects and you need designated shelves for each project.
Since I'm old I can tell you that many Chargers of that era were painted a dark almost olive green, so Hillbilly seeing brown isn't so far off.
The seat belt clip on the visor is for the shoulder harness storage the shoulder harness was separate from the lap belt and you could just wear your lap belt without the shoulder harness connected and the shoulder harness would be stored right along the bottom edge of the headliner clip into the visor clip it had a piece of elastic that kept it tight and a chrome wire hook to hold it in place it would be stored there and if you wanted to use the shoulder harness you would remove it and clip it into your lap belt
Robby, it’s hard to describe how much I appreciate you restoring my 69 charger. I know it’s in great hands, let me know when it’s ready.
1M!!
He’s sending me to pick it up for him , just a heads up & im bad with directions & might end up at my house here in ca . Lol
😂
It's Most likely going to live here in Arizona for a few years first.
@@davestevens4263you mean my house in Kansas
Hey Robbie, the 241 transfer case was manufactured by a company called "New Process' and was used in Jeeps, Chevy's, and Dodge 4WD's. Bombardier just used them as well. BTW - it's green!
I'm not sure what case that was, but it wasn't a 241. The 241 uses a chain between gears.
Enjoying every videos one after the other. It's great that you get parts from Bombardier's native land Québec. Now a little french prononciation. When you say Québec you don't have to pronounce the letter " U ", it's a silent letter in the name Québec. When you see the letter " E " with a little slant hat " É " it's pronounce " Hey " always. So if you want to say Québec properly you say " Kaybek " instead of " Kwaybec "... Cooolio thx to the crew and keep'up the good work and workout. 2023 is gonna Rock !
Exactement! ;)
*Prononce= pronounce
@@sebastiend.5335 tabarnak LOL
Never thought I’d get a French lesson while watching a guy called Hillbilly talk about how a transmission oil bottle farts when empty enough. 😂
They day that all of you (Matt, Rory, you guys, etc.) were up there in foot-deep snow removing all of that equipment that the contractor got stuck out there, I knew that you got your money's worth out of HillBilly when he got that skid steer running and drove it down the mountain. Keep up the good work, guys, and Robby, I hope you're matching him $ for $ on his 401(K) plan!
Repaint it the factory color. There is a tag with the factory color in the engine bay. :) When I was young I had a 69 charger that needed a lot of work, but I didn't have the money. I left for the Air Force and didn't take it with me it was so messed up. The rear frame was bent over the rear axle, but it was equal on both side and it was still driveable but it looked bad. I remember sleeping in the back seat when I was too inebriated to drives, it was really big compared to today's cars. I can't wait to see the Charger finished.
Yes that metal bracket on the sun visor is for the shoulder belt which is separate from the seat belt. The other end is attached to the ceiling. For the door glass technically they come out and back in as a single unit. I think you have it now but it's a pain. Or you can remove that rubber piece at the top of the quarter vent window and slide the main glass up past it
as a retired heat treater I think that gear wasn't tempered correctly after it was hardened thus leading to breakage (back in the day our shop heat treated the parts for Hurst Shifters)
Also 40 years of abuse
Shifting into low, or trying to shift into low range before coming to a stop will cause chipping and breakage also.
I am your latest subscriber and I used to race a 69 charger most weekends at drag strip in Mansfield TX. You will not believe this but I remember every single peace of that car your took off. I also remembered the problems I had with it and could only smile. Thank you for takeing me back and I look forward to watching more of your older videos.
“But for right now, we’re still dysfunctional”
Me too Robby. Me too.
Paint it such a dark candy purple that it almost looks black until it is in bright light or sunlight! Awesome!
Silver flake base with very thick candy dark purple and extra clear.
It's definitely green. I'd go back to the factree color for sure. Good job as always guys and gal!!
The windshield rubber on a factory install uses 3m 08509 bedding compound on the bottom and 1/3 of the way up on both sides, and in both upper corners. They also used clear glass sealer between the glass and rubber in the lower and upper corners. Glass companies tend to use nothing or urethane and they always leak.
Looks like green to me, I think Hillbilly sees the brown in the green. I hope you go into some decent detail when you fix the right front crash damage. Great video, guys.
Hillbilly is seeing the brown in the metallic.
I love the wheels that were on the Charger. The first new car my mom and dad had was a 74 Dodge Charger. It was lime green metallic with Cragar SS wheels, powered by a slant 6 with 3 on the tree. It was supposed to be my first car, but, as often happens, life had different plans. I would love to find a 74 Charger one day, but that's one of those, "after the lottery" things.
Robby, when you get your 2nd container, may I suggest the covering be attached to the outside edge of each container instead of the insides. This will keep the weather and its elements off the top of each container.
They make a roof for them that turns them into a building. I don’t know if he wants them spread out that much though.
There are several ways to "dry in" those container roofs and losing about 16" x 40" of potential covered storage is a big deal when you already have too many vehicles exposed to weather.
Whiskers needs a lick of paint guys, well done Big Dinner for the weight loss mission 👊💥
A full custom paint job!
Hillbilly is underrated I don't think people realize how mechanically inclined a guy like that is
I agree -- but then again, did he just put 90 weight into a np 241?
They don't call him hillbilly for nothing. He's got all the hacks. It's like he carries a 10mm in his back pocket at all times.
Taking the car apart is the fun part of the rebuild and the hard work begins to put it all together again, great video keep up the good work God bless from GA and stay safe
When I restored/rebuilt my '69 back in the late 70s (had been wrecked) and also using parts from a wrecked '68, I strived to keep it as original as possible. Rebuilt 440 and painted/reupholstered the original factory black. I still to this day, try to keep everything as original as possible. LS swaps etc. are not original and to me, updates with computer/relays/sensors just makes for more things to go wrong and cause problems.
I love the projects your doing, however I miss watching the day to day collision repair that you used to show
I love the idea of you restoring the 57 Chevy. I'm a retired 66y/o trucker with an obsession for 57s. I know you will make it beautiful.
Robbie i personally think that plumb crazy purple would be VERY cool on the Charger
Plum Crazy and Sublime are my favorite Charger colours. Paint codes are 2210 for Plum Crazy and 2128 for Sublime.
Interesting transfer case rebuild. That charger will be fantastic.
Hey Robby, I love the "Top Banana Yellow" Charger from the movie "Dirty Mary Crazy Larry" so that would be my color choice! Look forward to seeing this one done! All my best to your whole crew!
Definitely Metallic Emerald Green! That would be my choice. It would look soo good.
Sweet charger. The color is definitely green. I would go with a more custom color.
My Uncle had one that was metallic Green and it looked Bad azz Just like the Old car's back in the day!!! And my Dad had a metallic Blue 70!
I love how you include your wife and kids. You and fabrats are so endearing.
Have you thought about buying a diesel heater like they use in boats and RV's for Whiskers? (Yes, you'll have to install a small diesel tank somewhere.) Very inexpensive and possibly a lifesaver.
Keep the color Factory Metallic Green, My Aunt had a 70 Duster and I had learned to drive on that car. By turning it around when she came to for a visit the family.
Please do the original color. Would be so awesome!
Most of the time I would say stick with the factory color . . . BUT, it rocks in that yellow. When you picked the charger up, we loved the color.
After all, you must have some left over nugget paint! 😄
Yall are great !!! That charger is gonna look so nice when done
Candy Apple Green with Gold Flake would look brilliant.
Love the jokes at the end. You guys must be working 24 / 7 to get all that stuff done. Great video.
storage containers fill fast and can be hard to get to items in the rear.. side doors are not hard to put in and well worth the effort...
I know we are up to three...
Is there anything Hillbilly can not do? Good job !
I really loved watching the Golden Nugget build but im really excited for the Challenger build. It's going to be a beautiful car when it's done
Good to see Billy being more comfortable in front of a camera. Great video guys.
Dirty Mary Crazy Larry Tribute!!!! One of the best car chases in a movie !!!
I would imagine that one shouldn't shift between high and low while moving.
I believe it's the shifting while under load that caused the ring to get destroyed. I bet the mating edges of the other gears are also damaged and have burrs and are sharp. Those should be inspected and filed as well to aid in its meshing.
You may also want to change your shifting habits....
Imagine harder
I'm with the boss lady. That green would sweet.
Hey Robby, since you are a body and paint shop, how do you think about a bare metal / flat black (black out all chrome) finish on the charger? Fo me this would be a dream come true. Hi from good ol Germany! Alex
That would be really impressive and show off his tapping skills.
It's green. Candy apple red looks good on a 57 Chevy.I miss mine. Had to sell it when I went into the Army. That was 1970. 😥😭😭 Now no money or time to find one and fix it up.😩
My uncle Jim was color blind. One time we went out to dinner with them. While sitting waiting for a table, my brother pointed out that Jim was wearing one brown sock and one green. Sure enough, he was. His wife said that he did that often. Jim said they can't be different colors. He had another pair just like them at home. He also didn't understand what all the fuss was about leaves turning color in the fall. He said they still looked the same to him. Obviously Hillbilly is also colorblind. The original color on that Charger is dark green metallic. A friend of mine had a 68 with a 383 and an automatic in the same green. He also had a 68 Roadrunner Hemi 4 speed in metallic blue that was featured in multiple magazines in the late 80s/early 90s. It was GREEN. F8 Ivy Green, to be precise.
Remember that short lived TV show where the junk yard in AZ decided to start restoring cars and they pulled the back glass from a 67 Cuda they were building, put it on saw horses and then the shop foreman knocked it down and it exploded? Yeah, thats what I was thinking about when they put that windshield on the saw horses.
That bezel comes from you beer can hole that fell out of the top of the fender. somebody wanted it smoothed out but was smart enough to keep it with the car.
Had my 68 painted metallic silver with black accents. Plus the chrome features. Have a major accedent15 years ago, guy ran a red and hit me. Cut the car in 2 and ripped it apart. Took me 10 years to get back on my feet. Still tire out very easy. No more working on cars. But guys still come to the garage (privet bar for friends) foe advice. Still remember some stuff, but head trauma has made some things hard to figure out.
F6 color code, Charger bright green. Dupont color code 5078LH, 5078DH
Side note take that original Dodge color code, but throw in some medium to small gold flake, and black trim and wheels and you won't be disappointed!!! I painted a few motorcycles that color, and my old 82 El Camino.
Im really enjoying this build. My mom had a New 69 dodge charger It was white. IT was standard on column. All 3 of us girls learned to drive it. She sold it in 2000.
If you run into troubles in Illinois driving that 57 home, hit me up. Got truck, trailer, tools, and whatever else you might need to get back up and going.
Thank you Robby and team. I’m sure keeping the original color will probably be the popular vote but I’m voting plum crazy purple or a general lee. Also all the change in the car I would be happy to purchase and add it to my collection . Thank you can’t wait for the next one.
i agree, painting the Charger in General Lee orange would be awesome
17:00 Admit it! You guys got that forklift stuck on purpose so you could do that. Great stuff!
Absolutely paint the Charger a beautiful Black!! I went to high school with a guy whose parents were very wealthy. They bought him a Black Charger that was absolutely stunning! A beautiful car!!
Great video shows how good you and your team are at car repairs ,like the content keep them coming
It's green and it should 100% go back to that stock green. One of the best classic colors on old mopars!
I had a 1969 Charger and I kept the suspension original with the torsion bars and had Lakewood ladder bars and air shocks....only change was ..I added a 383 engine and a 4 speed transmission and added a 8 3/4 rear end and 430 gears......my Charger was ...Hunter Green and your Charger looks like the same color...
The 2.5 inch ropes will pull a loaded semi out of some insane conditions with a 4x4 Chevy Kodiak farm tractor whiskers I'm sure the 550 if you can get traction if you air the semi up a 77. K10 with a 454 will tow start a semi loaded with corn to get it empty unhooked and in the shop for a starter that failed I suggest a canvas tarp hung over the tailgate dragging the ground a little clamped to bedsides and tailgate enough you don't run over it backing up but keeps gravel from pelting the semi or you can take the fun shock value out of it and use another semi fun times handy rope around farms and truckstops I believe you're around both
According to Equalizer Glass Co. trainer the NTHSA you are supposed to urethane windshield rubber to the vehicle and glass to rubber .
I can't wait to see the 57 Chevy that you guys hopefully will get and work on one of my favorite Chevy vehicles 55 56 57 . Best model out there
14:10 Yep. That is for the shoulder belt when not in use.
I never comment, but why not... I'm looking forward to the day you guys do all the body work on Whiskers and turn it into a think of beauty. I live 700 miles away, but if I ever need body work, I'm headed to Utah where I know I'll get good service. Thanks for all the great videos.
13:56 my vote is for original green color!
I would go back to the original color which looks like Dark Green... paint code F8.
There are so many gray, white, black and silver cars all of the time anymore. I think Dark Green Metallic with a lot of clear would look gorgeous! Add the white R/T Bumble Bee stripe at the rear and a black or dark green vinyl roof to match. It would look tasteful and elegant.
Great to see the organization! The shop needs a white board for the long list of projects that are half done! I can't keep track any more
the two storage container with center canopy kits are nice. I want to do that also for my property. There's good YT videos on putting those together, and any mistakes they ran into and fixes...
The color is like an olive green. My high school drivers education class had two vehicles. One was a 1969 Charger and was that exact green color you see on your car.
The metallic olive green was a common color then … white bumblebee stripes…. Looks fantastic.
I'm off to check out the 57. Look forward to this build.
So cool that you help your brother out and he helps you.
Great video. I came over from Dave Sparks. I’m all over that Charger. Best think you can is acid dip or soda blast the whole car. Build yourself a rotisserie too.
We actually have a rotisserie we plan to use for this!
HEY! I recognize that container, and that truck! We'll load the container the other way next time so that you don't have take all that time to turn it around! Love the video, guys! Keep up the good work! That is green, sorry Hill Billy!
Remember the month of May is coming up, the Indy 500. Might want to make that trip and visit the track during race week.
Brandon and crew make some great wide body cars, makes his own panels an body panels for chargers and Cudas. He made Demolition Matt's CUDA. His channel is Muscle Rod Shop.
It would be a good idea to install some good lighting in the storage container before you start filling it with stuff!
I like your black blue silver combo Robby so I think all of your rigs and give aways should have that scheme. I like the high gloss flat I see on some new cars, but your silver should always be the shiniest metallic silver or chrome. So some stripes or two tone on this suped up beast would be great and do everything you can to keep it from rusting again. 👽
Before there were things called school busses, my Mom used to pick me up from school in her '57 Bel Air...in 1957!
Green,Hillbilly has to get his eyes checked but I have much respect for him he is awesome, so was the video, Epic a 57 can't wait to you all start that ,Thanks to the hole team for giving us something to look forward to
Knew I liked you guys, using Lubri-Plate assembly grease! I have a tube on my shelf, learned to use the stuff from my father who swore by it.
Hi Robby and gang, there is a company here in the uk called Retro Power and they are painting the body of a 69 charger for a customer and they have been blocking and sanding for weeks!! Their channel is retropowercars. By the way love your channel.
To see what the color was look at the Tag Plate under the hood on the drivers side . It will tell you everything you want to know about that car .
Robby, the color is F8 Dark Green Metallic. You can, obviously, verify this on the fender tag on the left front fender apron.
Russell
NP241 “NP” = New Process. Was owned by Chrysler. Dodge, GM/Chevy and Ford 4x4s in the 70s used NP transfer cases..
Paint the Charger the original green color! That's my vote! Then, will be looking forward to the work on the '57 Chevy project!
14:10 That piece is for clipping the factory shoulder belt to for storage.
My favorite old school car is a Bel-Air.. at least for looks... So you e got my vote to see the restoration. Sweet cars yours getting your hands on... Awesome content
