This charger will be worth a large fortune when the charger is finished another driver car of past history. Thank you Nick and garage for the love of old muscle cars.
I LOVE IT! Got an unexpected mid-week episode of Nick’s Garage. When that Kenworth rollback backed into the shop I held my breath thinking “that exhaust stack ain’t gonna make it under the overhead door.”
Hey Nick,George,Manny, Krew ,and everyone!!! Late getting in tonight. But love seeing Nick's Garage. The Green Machine getting her a ride to the body shop and a new lease on life ...She's been getting in the breeze here lately since 1979 ...know the ol Girl is smiling and will be waiting for the day she moves on her own power ....
Wishing you all the best with this Charger!!! You definitely have your work cut out for you, but, I still have no doubt that she will be as beautiful as Eugene's Charger.
Only the New York accent, says it like that Nick, the rest of us say it just like you do!!! And, north and south, coast to coast, the whole country loves, "Nick's Garage" !!!!
Good evening Nick . Back I the seventies my friends dad was a bodyman , he used to tell me stories about using lead to fix rust holes . I guess things have changed since then.
These encore presentations are special treats!!!! Midweek boost!!! Nick and crew, you guys are the crème de la crème: another diamond in the rough heading out to start the journey of being chiseled into an automotive delight!!!!! Gotta keep on moving!!!
Hi Nick & George thanks for yet another beaut video, great to see the state of the Charger as it went to get sand blasted. The 'Rat Trap' sure suits it at this time but I'm sure Nick after you and your team work their magic it will be just what Stephane wanted and more. Thanks for the bonus video and have a beaut week ahead all.
I’m so glad you have taken on this car I really enjoy seeing you bring mopars back to life.there’s nothing like looking at a fresh charger driving down the road,the sound the body style👍can’t beat it
👍Another good video. Thx Sir Nick & crew! Back in 78 or maybe 1980, (I was around 12 or so) my brother had a super fast ‘68 Dodge Charger R/T 440. (Dual points) anyway, he ran it HARD everyday & never failed him. I loved that MOPAR! He eventually pulled the 440 & tranny (can I say that 😂) & put in a 71 CUDA or Challenger (much better overall condition than the Charger at the time) then he and his buddies took the ol RED 68 Charger to a field & bullet holed the hell outta it! I couldn’t believe they shot it all up but they did. LOVED THAT 68 R/T Charger! We once made a trip from Louisville KY to Huntsville AL. in 3.5 hours. Hammer down!
Nick , you work miracles with these old Muscle Cars, it brings back so many memories seeing these cars come and go. Getting a new lease on life and saving the history. I remember growing up in the 60s and 70s when the V8s ruled and all Cars had a rumble ...could go fast ,even the station wagons. Riding with Dad in his Charger and doing some burnouts and some racing. That ol Dodge Charger pasted everything, but a gas station..lolololol. Keep On Rocking Nick !!!!!!!!
What a gorgeous car. Thanks for all the work you and your team do Nick! A little sunshine in a crowded world is a beautiful thing and you do it well. Thanks again, Nick.
Hi Nick and George, You surprised with another Wednesday video. I'm very interested to see what is left after the the R/T is sand blasted. I love having another bonus video during the week. You guys rock!!!
@@NicksGarage Something will definitely come back, it will be very interesting to see what is under all that rust. It will be fixable, I've seen worse.
Thanks Nick & crew!!! Wednesday bonus!😁👍 looking forward on following this build. Put your Canadian MO- JO on it. This one looks rough. Sending good vibrations from South Carolina...Gino
Can’t wait to see another muscle car brought back to life! I was noticing he was tying down the doors, etc in the car super tight except for the hood…hope it didn’t catch some wind and fly up!
You know it means alot more if you build it yourself. It doesnt mean as much if you buy it built already. If you build it yourself . You know exactly what you have
Would love to see the rear widow metal reconstruction - that must be fine metal working skills. Hope George takes some video of that process and shares it on this channel.
Check out the yt channel Rust Bucket Restos, he's working on a '68 Charger and has already replaced complete rear window channel. Not an easy task,, but I think he made it look easy.
I've had several that I Just Had to go with the "Heart" Not the "Smarts" Or the Wallet, Lot's of enjoyment in exchange for Profit, I'll enjoy the "Art" of bringing this back. TY, Nick.
As the narrative says at the0:50 mark, "there's no denying that this car is a little rough." Understatement of the year. Thanks, Nick, for the extra episode this week. And I forgot to wear my black "Nick's Garage" Tee Shirt while watching it.
I'm a knucklehead! I keep forgetting the new times your videos come out! I must have hit my head on a Hemi piston or something!! Keep'em rolling Nick as I know you will. Bill from Linglestown, Pennsylvania
Always a great way to kick back and relax. Watching an enlightening and entertaining episode of Nick's Garage... and by the way, the camera work was off the charts!
Here in texas where i was born and raised they call those basket cases. Its gotta have alot do e.to.ot but it will be well worth it when it is finished. It will be a beautiful hotrod
It would of been so easy for Nick to have said no to this project considering it’s condition . Well he didn’t and to me it says a lot about the man he is and the passion he has for these muscle cars
I gotta say I've seen people restore a lot, lot worse chargers! I would love to find one in that good of shape to restore! Can't wait to see this one get done.
One other thing, Nick. I thought that Charger would come back as a box of rusty crumbs! I know it will be a beauty when you're Magic is done! Bill from Linglestown Pennsylvania
OWNER of the Charger. There is nothing more beautiful than a perfectly prepped and painted black car. I am a 40 plus year car builder/autobody paint man. To do black on a vehicle there is extra steps that have to be done to insure that the body and paint is as close to perfect as possible. May I advise you on this color. The upkeep on it is going to be a lot of work. Just as soon as it is washed and dried it will be getting dirty again. I advise to never put a car cover on it. The cover will absorb even the smallest dust/dirt particles and scratch the paint as the cover is being put on and taken off. Let the car get dirty and wash it as often as u can. Do not use those fancy car show brushes on it to get the dust off. They do put small scratches in the paint. Again, black is a beautiful color. I advise to take another look at another color(s). A color that is easier to maintain. Lighter colors are like that. One color that I think will look amazing on the car is a green that is as close to the original color as possible. The green that is used on the newer hellcat's, challengers and even the trucks would look amazing on it. Dark colors are pretty but are a lot of work to keep looking beautiful.
A restoration is everlasting the first stage on any restoration job is the blasting Rogers workload is off the hook luckily George has some appointment time left in his book He's giving it four to five months to get rid of the scuzz and the rusty bumps no lumps It's gonna come up trumps Nick's concern is preparation he's ordering parts to assist in the the restoration The die is cast This charger is ready for some media blast and when it's done it's gonna go real fast Watching a Nick's Garage restoration is a pleasure that'll last Thank's for sharing your unicorn Stefan You got Nick's Garage on top of the task
Hey Nick..the R/T is in pretty rough shape i don't know if i would want to put the money it's going to take to restore it ..but ..we had a saying where i come from goes like this..how fast can you make it run..how much money do you want to put in it..just like the R/T ..I'm sure he'll enjoy it when it's done..so he must have plenty of money..the 500 is looking like it rolled off the assembly line except for one thing ..this one is not done at hyper speed..that's how it was done at the factory..few mistakes were made but they pulled it off..see you on the next one Cheers friend 🍺🍺🍺🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Many reasons contributed to this choice. Price, preference of the body man, and the fact that a big portion of the car will be replaced, they will only need to strip certain parts.
Nick and George you guys make such good videos I love your content so before I have even seen the video I just hit the like button cuz I know it's going to be good thanks again
Giasou Nikola, What I want to know is that mountain of snow outside your shop taller than you. We don't get snow in Melbourne but such a beautiful sunny day with mountains if snow everywhere. It must be freezing cold outside especially at night. Great tie down by the driver he knew what he was doing. Your number 1 Fan in Australia Louis Kats from Melbourne Australia ☺ 👍 ❤
That car is going to require a lot of work but it's going to be beautiful when it's done if it's anything like the cars that Nick has brought back to life in the past.
70 Dodge Charger was my first really nice car. Bought it around 1974. Very mild car. 318 V8 automatic. Emerald green w/black vinyl top. Bench seat - popular with girlfriends. Beautiful car that I traded in on a 1972 Mach 1 Mustang. It was a tough choice!
Wow It’s looking good Yeah parts for those cars are hard to come bye if they are not available in aftermarket parts well hopefully Nick with Carlisle show’s coming up hopefully you will find some parts there
Oh, this gonna be great! I love that it is going to be black with a red stripe on the back! Besides B5 blue with a white vinyl top and white interior, triple black sounds awesome! This was a vinyl top car so will it have a black vinyl top?

Nick and crew thanks for making my dream come true.
Stephane - Lots of folks out here in "Nick's garage TH-cam land" pulling for ya. Livin' the dream dude!
Come back to Texas when its finished. Good luck !
Glad to see you Charger moving to the body shop ...very cool deal to save her and I know you can't wait ...Best Regards Stephane .
One more saved from the boneyard crusher. At least you know
what you got when it's done. One less lithium ion car will be purchased.
@@Hanzyscure LOL batteries not included
Got an extra one for you all this week! Enjoy.
You the best sir love your work organized and good at what you do thank you good sir 😊
This charger will be worth a large fortune when the charger is finished another driver car of past history. Thank you Nick and garage for the love of old muscle cars.
Thanks Nick and crew!
Jesus it looks cold there Nick toss that charger just junk
@@lacolello6644 Why bring Jesus into this?
Metal man George has a tremendous challenge ahead, but also a great opportunity to show his talents. My hat's off to him.
Man, that back window frame will require a miracle worker!
Wow ... I admire the R/T's owner for committing to bringing it back to life. I'm looking forward to seeing the progress.
I LOVE IT! Got an unexpected mid-week episode of Nick’s Garage. When that Kenworth rollback backed into the shop I held my breath thinking “that exhaust stack ain’t gonna make it under the overhead door.”
It was a close call.
I had the oh no song in my head as I watched.

Even the flat bed does a burn-out at Nicks.
It might be rough, but at least it fell into the right hands to get saved! Glad it came your way Nick!
I know that Nick and crew will make it a beautiful ride.
Wishing you all the best with this Charger!!! You definitely have your work cut out for you, but, I still have no doubt that she will be as beautiful as Eugene's Charger.

Almost sounded Australian! Lol
It's good to see a restoration where most would just let it go. Gives others inspiration to keep these cars running.
Thank you. Your enthusiasm and positive attitude is 2nd to none.
Good evening Nick . Back I the seventies my friends dad was a bodyman , he used to tell me stories about using lead to fix rust holes . I guess things have changed since then.
Love it Nick can't wait to see the Rat repaired
Stefan knows his options. And this is the ONE. Nick's got this.
It’s going to take a really skilled body man to make it super straight to be painted black.
I’m sure it will be awesome when done.
These encore presentations are special treats!!!! Midweek boost!!! Nick and crew, you guys are the crème de la crème: another diamond in the rough heading out to start the journey of being chiseled into an automotive delight!!!!! Gotta keep on moving!!!

Hey Nick and George, Thanks very much for the Wednesday treat. We ALL could use an extra "fix" of peace, love and muscle cars.😁
I agree Douglas!
Lover of Chargers couldn't let this ol' gal waste away any further-perfect owner and perfect restorer.
Thank you :)

YOU ARE A SAINT NICK! Beautiful car to be resurrected. God bless you and the crew! Bravo Indy Auto. 👏🏻
Thank you so much, Jeff.
Nice surprise! Thanks guys!

That's not a dream machine, it's a scream machine (when the customer gets the bill) 🤣
Dream machine that will turn into nightmare machine . The bill will be scary you are right M, Cooper

Scott at Coldwarmotors can do it. It helps to have the rear glass to trial fit after spot welding the fabricated patches.
When you replace the whole quarter panel it comes with that channel attached I believe.
@@tlr-nut7275, not that I've seen, because he's (RBR) replacing both quarters as well.
A new Dutch panel we'll take care of that,,
Wow! A Wednesday show and I'm home to watch it! Wahooo! Gonna watch right now!
Hope you enjoy!
I've had several that I Just Had to go with the "Heart" Not the "Smarts" Or the Wallet, Lot's of enjoyment in exchange for Profit, I'll enjoy the "Art" of bringing this back. TY, Nick.
Oh my that is one crispy critter!Really looking forward to seeing it fixed up better than new!
I wish Nick was in Ontario, I need work done on my 67 Camaro, love the videos guys, keep them coming.👍
Always great to see a mid week video from Nick.
Glad you like them!
Looking forward to see some videos of the body work in progress. Thanks for another great video.
Nick is the featured person at Motorama in Toronto. Sponsored by MOTUL oil and other.

To be fair.. this is a bonus video.. extra one this week. Glad you found it.
Wow, that's one sad body.
Almost a complete build from scratch!

For most shops this dean would be a nightmare!! But this will be a showstopper when Nicks crew is done!
Thanks Nick and George. Sure needs alot of AMD panels and Nicks Garage love.
It would of been so easy for Nick to have said no to this project considering it’s condition . Well he didn’t and to me it says a lot about the man he is and the passion he has for these muscle cars
Why would he say no? He ain't doing the hard part which is body and paint, all he's gonna do is mechanical and reassembly.
He's in the business of car repair . By the time its done the bill will be huge. The customer gets his car done , Nick makes money, everybody wins
In my opinion, it looks better than when it was rolled in! Evenin Mr Nick an George!!
Can't wait to see the progress on the Charger after some sandblasting and going in to have the metal work done
🇩🇰🙋♂️👨🔧
Its gonna be a one awesome project!
I gotta say I've seen people restore a lot, lot worse chargers! I would love to find one in that good of shape to restore! Can't wait to see this one get done.
Thank you. Chargers are getting harder to find these days
Too funny! You got a heart for replying to my comment and I didn't lol! They know it's your car and your paying I guess lmao!
One other thing, Nick. I thought that Charger would come back as a box of rusty crumbs! I know it will be a beauty when you're Magic is done! Bill from Linglestown Pennsylvania
Nick , now that a crusty project. Will be watching the progress on this one and know it will come out great.
Another great project!
Can't wait to see this one coming together
Good evening the Nick George and all the crew I appreciate an episode in the middle of the week hell yeah thanks for sharing sandblasting
Our pleasure!
I always say , Sanitary is Farm Dairy, Clean threw & threw & it’s a project !
Challenge
Been looking forward to the uplifting of this automobile
There is a long road ahead for this one.
I have built worst car then that one, you have to love it keep up the great work nick

Vinyl top car. Looks like it had a bad leak around the rear window. Water got in and rotted the floor and trunk pans.
Creeping up on 200k subs! You guys have awesome content and definitely deserve a million!
Thanks! Tell a friend?
Hopefully he will change his mind on painting it black. F8 green would look stunning. Build it back to the trim tag options.
Question for Nick. Why did you choose sandblast vs the dip tank stripping you used on the Charger 500? Thanks
Many reasons contributed to this choice. Price, preference of the body man, and the fact that a big portion of the car will be replaced, they will only need to strip certain parts.
Nick and George you guys make such good videos I love your content so before I have even seen the video I just hit the like button cuz I know it's going to be good thanks again
We appreciate that, Gary.
Highly recommend videos from Junkerup Chris Birdsong for the panel alignment and body work. The man is from Vegas and is awesome.
They are going for over 100k now 😵
it's worth finding a junker and restoring it back to show room condition.
Not much change out of that 100k....
I love the Wednesday show I will be waiting for an update. Many Thanks to you Nick and the Whole Team.
You should put together a video of all the stages of this car being built
I sure was hoping he would get it dipped. I can't wait to see what it looks like sandblasted though.
Giasou Nikola,
What I want to know is that mountain of snow outside your shop taller than you. We don't get snow in Melbourne but such a beautiful sunny day with mountains if snow everywhere.
It must be freezing cold outside especially at night.
Great tie down by the driver he knew what he was doing.
Your number 1 Fan in Australia
Louis Kats from Melbourne Australia ☺ 👍 ❤
That pile was a good 10 feet. Thank goodness, it’s thawing now.
Pleasant surprise!! I'll watch as many as you want to put out
Thanks!
I think Stephen is in for a real eye opener
That car is going to require a lot of work but it's going to be beautiful when it's done if it's anything like the cars that Nick has brought back to life in the past.
70 Dodge Charger was my first really nice car.
Bought it around 1974. Very mild car. 318 V8 automatic. Emerald green w/black vinyl top.
Bench seat - popular with girlfriends.
Beautiful car that I traded in on a 1972 Mach 1 Mustang.
It was a tough choice!
Wow It’s looking good
Yeah parts for those cars are hard to come bye if they are not available in aftermarket parts well hopefully Nick with Carlisle show’s coming up hopefully you will find some parts there
I hope so too.
DIRTY, RUSTY, CRISPY, and CRUNCHY LIKE LAYS POTATO CHIPS🤣🤣
4 to 5 months?!?! You mean those tv shows doing these cars in a week are fake?!?! Oh the humanity!
Poor Nick is saying to himself, how the hell did I get myself into this can of worms LOL
You'll make it great... 👍👍👍
Nick, it sure looks like it's going to be a challenge to restore it, but soon I'm sure it will look as good as Eugene's Charger 500. 🚘
Great content thanks for sharing
Thanks for the bonus video!
Our pleasure!
That is a rough one, lot of time for restoring that one
And passion!
Nice little bonus from nick!!
The fans can be helping by looking for seats , I look around in SD for some seats we got a lot old junk yards in SD .
I agree with you on this! Love this video...
Thanks for watching!
Wow that car is so rough & eat thru with rust. I hope there’s something left of it after the sandblasting is done to it.
Hope it comes back ok.
Oh, this gonna be great! I love that it is going to be black with a red stripe on the back! Besides B5 blue with a white vinyl top and white interior, triple black sounds awesome! This was a vinyl top car so will it have a black vinyl top?
Vinyl top, maybe. And if so. it will be black.
