I worked wrecking yards for 10 years, Never did I see anyone take something like you have done and put that much Sweat ,Blood and Effort to bring it back ,I understand the value thing, But I think its more than that to you,I feel you wanted to be challenged and be vindicated you could accomplish this task ,I am in my mid 60's now ,i have seen a lot in my life , And you sir have given me a smile where others have failed ,I salute you as a vet ,I say congratulations as a fellow Wrench,You have my respect.
You should watch the AAR cuda build on graveyard cars, I believe season 3 or 4. Mark bought that from a guy who had been taking it from show to show for years trying to sell it to someone willing to build it. That car was almost as far gone as this one, in fact, that car is the reason that AMD builds all of these parts and the roof panel now.
This guy is going to kick himself for not dipping this car. It will rust as soon as water hits it. Gotta follow the grave yard cars method. Mark is a horrible comedian but a master rebuilder and care taker of mopar…
@@glennlarson-b8qnothing happened he has just be slacking behind because he still posts about it on facebook but he hasnt been doing much on it because he has been work on a 3rd one that he is making a derby car out of of
This project is what is keeping me subscribed!! The total remake of this classic and Jennings sheet work and rebuild blows me away!! Please stay on this project till the end!!
Man, I hope there is a part 5 and beyond on this. I have been waiting for an update. You sir are incredible. I really hope people didnt get you down on this, we do care and this is such a wonderful task, resurrecting something this important and was that far gone. Thank you sir!
Wow. I am in the middle of my 70 GTX. I did it a little backwards. I have the firewall painted. The 440 6 barrel rebuilt and dropped in. I owned mine since 1981. The only real body issues are the corners of the windshield. And the corners of the back glass. Lower pass quarter panel. I have all the parts to put it back together except the seat covers and foam. You have inspired me because I only have to replace 25% of my car. Great job on this classic. Looking forward to seeing it to completion.
He has it in the diamond t video part 2 video. Near the end he talks about it, he said a "month" is going to be the next video but that was posted 2 months ago. He said he bought parts that never showed up. I think he's still waiting on more parts, or hes had a video of it but hasn't posted or is just editing it.
Man I just want to say you are one talented guy Once you've finished that car and people see what you have done you can expect your business to go up 300%
I live in Nashville NC and about 3 miles down the road there's two of these sitting under a shed rotting away. I hate seeing muscle cars wasting away and your doing a superb job on your project car I'm looking forward to the finish product.
I've been waiting to hear from you again brother. Looks great man. I've seen a lot of restorations and all that. But this is the first time I've ever seen something of this magnitude. Great job bro. God bless you.
Wow it's coming along quite nicely!! If I had my time all over again I would've loved to have done a panel beating apprenticeship on top of my mechanical trade, and had this guy as a teacher, can't wait for next video not to mention the finished product!!
This is the most fascinating build on UTUBE! When u started I was thinking “No way”. I was wrong. Can’t wait for the next update. You definitely have some amazing skills and talent!
My dad was watching part 2 the other day and I was looking for the channel. Wow, absolutely amazing transformation so far. Since I was 10 or 11, I always loved a nice Blue 'Cuda. I hope to see her finished one day. Hats off to you, sir!
More than a restoration. I call what you have been doing a complete reconstruction! It surely takes a lot of time and effort to put together and take apart so many times until every panel is correctly aligned! Congrats for the job of turning a completely destroyed car into a shiny beauty again!
The confidence expressed in this work is like nothing I've ever seen before. This dude says "we'll fix that" loads but he MEANS IT. xD Amazing how you get everything to pull together, at such a pace too.
This just shows what can be done with a welder and some cash and a whole pile of new parts along with some skills and a fair bit of determination! Congratulations on getting as far as you've gotten in such a short time!
Brother, I am in awe of you soldiering thru this rebuild. That car was not a car, it was a piece of a unibody. You are doing good work and doing us all a favor for restoring her to her former self however.
Well to be fair it's kinda like the question of whether an old rock band with no original member left is still the same band or is it its own tribute act? I think with this car it's still the same drivers door though.....in the first video it looks pretty intact
HI, I am so happy I came across your video. I have a 1970 Cuda Convertible that needs restoring. and you are an inspiration. your work is excellent. Keep up the good work. When I get done with my care we need to have a road rally.
I saw in Poland that people repaired cars after accidents after which it would seem that cars could not be saved. But I've never seen anything like it ;) Something beautiful, a piece of good satisfying work.
Was randomly scrolling looking at car videos, and came upon part 1 of the build. Watched all 4 parts, and want to see it through. Impressive work along the way. Hoping to see more content on the build soon. Just subscribed to keep up with new content.
Man it is good to see the AAR back on the channel! This is one of the coolest cars and you are doing a great job on a wreck that most people wouldnt save. Keep wrenchin!
Can't wait to see the finished product. I love those classic Mopars, I had a 1971 Plymouth satelite street rod years ago. keep up the awesome videos, I really admire your mechanic skills.
Man, I'm so desperate for a new video in this series. I know the series hasn't done as well as some of Dustin's others, but every time a new video comes out on this channel, even stuff I like, I'm still a bit disappointed that it's not the Cuda. I think maybe if he came out with one single video that puts everything together from beginning to current, it would likely do really well (if anything has changed).
I am still in awe. I remember doing my car (nowhere near as bad as that) in 1995 and I showed 1 of the guys in work some photos of it all in bits. It's a 1983 ford capri 2-8 injection (ford's European mustang) and can remember him saying "that'll never see the road again". For a minute I thought he might be right. Made it to a stand at an event in 1996 and she's still going strong today after 32 years of ownership.
The next-level determination, and persistent hard work it takes to finish projects like these, we are so lucky to have and is one of the most valuable things we have. It doesn't get nearly enough attention from the rest of the world. I started my Olds Cutlass convertible restoration in 1999 and someone told me I'd never finish it, or if I did, I'd be an old, old man with a long white beard. I finished it in 2006 and have enjoyed driving it as recently as last weekend. I intend to start a '63 Impala project this year. Take care, and good luck with your current project.
I luv this Car ❤ my parents had a 70 Cuda in 1973 yellow ,Black checkered stripes ,340 4 speed I remember it & they kept it a few years before Tradeing it off Awesome car.
Absolutely incredible progress. I really thought you were having us on in the first video. This progress of such a complete _wreck_ of a car leaves no doubt whatsoever as to your ability to fix anything. I'm sure you could build a new Titanic around one rivet.

I wish my dad had owned a wrecking yard. But you make do with what you got. Thank God for advancemences in tools & smart people whom share on youtube.
Agreed. I've fell down the rabbit hole of this series of videos in utter amazement. An expert.
This has been a great series. Thank you for sharing this you are very talented. Be looking forward to part 5
he hasnt posted anything in a while.i wathched this from day one.something happened.
@@glennlarson-b8qnothing happened he has just be slacking behind because he still posts about it on facebook but he hasnt been doing much on it because he has been work on a 3rd one that he is making a derby car out of of

Just finished watching part 1 to 4. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the build! Absolutely love your channel... keep up the great work.
Limitless patience to get the panel alignment just right. Very impressive.
looks great and still awaiting part 5, 6, 7 etc. lol keep up the good work.
Where's part 5? I'm aching to see more!!! 👍🏽👍🏽
Good morning!! You are killing it on this build!! From what you started with, it's hard to believe this is the same car!
160 mph 💥
With just a firewall and 2 doors,great job. My 1st car was a 1970 dodge challenger. You are saving history. Can't wait for the next video.
Man, I hope there is a part 5 and beyond on this. I have been waiting for an update. You sir are incredible. I really hope people didnt get you down on this, we do care and this is such a wonderful task, resurrecting something this important and was that far gone. Thank you sir!
Can't wait for the next update! This is an amazing build
Man, that's a lot of work.
But it's finally looking like a car after so long.
Great job!
Glad to see you back! This is by far the most challenging project I've seen in a long time. It's starting to look like she'll make it back!
"Challenging"...I see what you did there
I mean, what was actually done here to "restore" anything? Almost none of the original car is left besides two doors and a firewall.
You are rebuilding a 50 yrs old classic car . All the vehicles that you worked on are classic cars TALENTED
Wow. I am in the middle of my 70 GTX. I did it a little backwards. I have the firewall painted. The 440 6 barrel rebuilt and dropped in. I owned mine since 1981.

@@Cat03-uo9itpossibly he has been posting about it on facebook and hadnt done to much besides some welding and test fitting some of the glass
Man I just want to say you are one talented guy Once you've finished that car and people see what you have done you can expect your business to go up 300%
Very enjoyable to watch you do your thing on this car. You make it look so easy... but the devil is in the details which you highlight so well.
I LOVE this Car and video series on it! 99% of folks would have deemed it junk and not fixable, not you! AMAZING work!
I've really been enjoying watching this build. Good job.

Amazing work..can't wait to see the final product. If only I had this skill.
Your doing. Great. I drove. 73. Challenger. In. 73. I always. Remember. That. Car. Thanks
loving this series hope for pt5 soon!
I've been waiting as well.
Me too!
still waiting...
Dedication, and love for old iron. Great video.
Wow it's coming along quite nicely!! If I had my time all over again I would've loved to have done a panel beating apprenticeship on top of my mechanical trade, and had this guy as a teacher, can't wait for next video not to mention the finished product!!
I’m so ready to see the finished product It’s absolutely amazing what you’ve done with it
NICE! Still hoping you were able to track down it's engine!
Honestly considering the state this car was in, im guessing the engine is more likely to be found as a spoon in your cupboard. a.k.a long gone
@@kanggoo57 Never say never. Stranger things HAVE occured.
@@kanggoo57 I highly doubt the engine was stainless steel.
@@malbers35 🤓
I saw an engine in the background of the previous episode... somewhere near the beginning. Fingers crossed!
I didn't think this car could be brought back to life, but you surprised me. Great job so far...waiting for a new update....
also waiting….

This has to be the best restoration on TH-cam, I haven't seem anyone else bring back a car this far gone
Look up rusty monaro, beets this by a mile
Look up Graveyard Cars season 3 or 4 that car is the reason that so many of these parts are available
Check out Cam Racing .. he’s a teenager doing the same to a charger.
@@bigears4014*beats. "Beet" is a vegetable.

Great to see you again. It's been awhile but is definitely worth the wait
It's amazing how many panels you replaced on that car. It's looking good.😎

@@resetsetmefree478 Theres slot nor original left than just the door.
Look at all those parts! You are so lucky. Such a cool kit 1111!!!!!
Amazing patience’s bud a credit to you maté enjoying the process👌🏻
Great Build following yours while building mine! We started about the same
I have been waiting so long for some more progress on this thing. Great to see another video on this car, thanks.

#GETRDONE!

Phenomenal work. Very impressed with your patience and determination!
I started watching you on TikTok... Followed the link to TH-cam... I been watching from the first cuda video... Amazing progress on this project!!
Man I'm welding 10 little holes in my car in the same time you weld a whole car :D Amazing work so far, she looks great.
Been a long time need more on this
Basically a real deal brand new car minus the old bits. So amazing.
Cannot believe how much work has gone into this car. Can’t wait to see it put together!
You definitely make it look easy ..keep the great videos coming..awesome job 👍
Not sure how I got here but enjoyed the 4 videos of the cuda resto. Subscribed so I don't miss the next one.
Looking forward to seeing more of this build, big Mopar fan here!
Wow been looking for this build been watching since start u come long way hope see u finish it dont give up
I'm really looking forward to seeing the process and finished product. Good job....keep it up.
G'day mate awesome build love this one cool channel buddy thanks for sharing 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
Gifted hands man you have inspired me.
My son and I were watching this series last year and it just came up I was hoping to come see it finished. What happened?
What ever happened to this project?
he has posted about it on facebook
Thank You for rebuilding what most would scrap. 👍😎
I love these types of raw videos. Reminds me of me. Real. No editing team or people telling you how to act. Rah.
Was randomly scrolling looking at car videos, and came upon part 1 of the build. Watched all 4 parts, and want to see it through. Impressive work along the way. Hoping to see more content on the build soon. Just subscribed to keep up with new content.
Excellent work that you've done so far on this Cuda, keep giving updates every few weeks or something
Must be awesome to know you have the knowledge and skill to make everything eventually line up and fit properly. 👍👍🍺🍺
Man it is good to see the AAR back on the channel! This is one of the coolest cars and you are doing a great job on a wreck that most people wouldnt save. Keep wrenchin!

Nice work! I can't believe it's going together so well!
Really impressed with your skills. What an amazing transformation and build. Can’t wait for future videos seeing this car come back to life.
Waited a long time for this one. Can't wait!!
I enjoy your sense of humor brother.😂 Keep the videos coming.
You’ve got more ambition than 10 men. Bravo to you sir! You amaze me.
That is one massive undertaking, WOW 👌
You need to finish this car! I like your surly country boy personality and i need more content to watch
Straight up awesome. There's no substitute for hard work and she's worth it. Can't wait till she's whole and ripping roads. Cheers.

100% agreed
Awesome you have really made some serious progress you can fix anything 👍👍👍👍
Ive never seen a car in such bad shape be brought back to life like this man hats off for sure
At last the story continues 👍 very glad to see this car and build again..
Need more videos on the Cuda!
pt 5? or is the car in woods back again?😂
ive been needing this update for so long
Great progress. My Cuda is folding in half, this gives me some instruction and hope. 👍
(I am not looking forward to my AMD bill though… 😬)
I definatly have to say,you know what you're doing.Awesome job.
This car is going to look so beautiful when completely finished
Love your videos and you make some of the best comments! "Not as bad as it could be, but we'll fix that here in a second".
YESSS!!! SO Been looking forward to part 4!!
Just binge watched the first 4 episodes. Can't wait for the next one!
I'm amazed. You got my attention and I can't wait to see more on this car. You will have a car you can be proud of. Wow
Just came here again to say that we really need an update video on the cuda !!
