- Hello and welcome to my channel! I want to introduce my 1971 Plymouth Barracuda project car. This car requires a complete restoration and I will do my best to document the process in what will be a long series of videos.
In this episode I install the new rear footwell pans and cut out the old rusty rocker panels to replace them with with new Auto Metal Direct (AMD) metal!

😎🤘
Love to see a Car Saved and not Hacked .🤟😎
Great to see you doing the "Fitzi" Cut n' Butt!
Works like a charm!
I love this build
Me too! 🤘😎🤘
Nice touch using the weight of your son to hold down the floor panels while getting them fitted.
Absolutely! 😂
I need that excellent work for my Dodge Royal Monaco!
love to see the young one giving dad some help .
awesome video man the car looks amazing
Thanks brother! 😎🤘
Rocker N Rollin’ right along!
Another step towards completion … of the body. 💣💥
😎
Man, the Cuda is moving along quite a lot quicker than the Charger did! And, you know... the GTO... 😉😁🤣
Man, I watch you go to town on the rust repair on the Cuda, then I remember, shit, oh yeah, he`s got the 68 Charger mounted over there on the rotisserie, two of my favorite all time muscles cars are in your garage, with all new steel, you have 2 of the most iconic Mopars that were roaming the streets of my teens and early 20`s, this smaller body Cuda went faster than the Charger for sure, love the videos rust bucket, Joe from Michigan.
Thanks for watching brother!
Excellent work and instruction as always. I have 2 GoPro tips. I always use mine in the waterproof case. It protects the lens and helps if it's dropped. You can also use a welding hood clear lens in front of the camera. Easy to replace when dirty or damaged. Keep up the good work!
Looking great! That contour tool is amazing! Definitely on my wish list.
Sure is!
Nice work. Looking forward to seeing the donor car. I just got the quarters for the Charger build.
Awesome! 😎🤘
She's looking great I'd love to have a 71 HEMI Cuda plum crazy purple black interior 4speed. The year I was born and my birth stone
Very cool!
Good afternoon, The car is looking amazing. You have lots of talent for sure. Steve from Nb Canada
Thanks brother! 🤘😎
Wow, that rocker repair job was impressive. 👍
😎🤘
"As factory as possible". 👍👍👍👍
Trying my best! Unfortunately the cars I choose to build need so much damn metal, there isn’t a ton left when the dust settles!
Great job on the rockers, and I could sure use your leftover pieces on my Cuda👍👍👍

Dig the car dude . BTW, the handle on your eastwood contour is supposed to be facing forward for ease on the muscles, I did the same thing 😢
I’ll have to try it! It can be a brute! Especially over your head or at eye level. 💪😎
It would be cool to see the charger and the cuda in the green color
Very exciting to see the metal work done, bring on the next video
Thanks for watching!
There you go, nothing like a little team building activity with T-Bone! He is showing interest in learning auto restoration. No better way than what you're doing
He’s a natural! & he loves it!
awesome job! May I suggest a ventilation system when you weld/grind/paint.. even if the door is open sometimes the fumes can get to you quickly and that is a good way to get sick.. Bathroom fan with a flexible duct on both ends , that dumps outside is a cheap way of doing that.. just sayin ;)
Can’t wait to the next video buddy seeing the rockers being done now the rear floor pan Finished up great job can’t wait to see the donor I think I got a idea but I’ll wait love to see this car show keep making it rear and coming and that boy of yours sure is a helper
Thanks for watching! 😎🤘
Nice video! We would like to get a honest review from you for our welder, It can definitely do something for you.

Looks great! Looking forwar to seeing what you have in mind for stiffening up the unit-body.
IDK... as a rule of thumb, 2 inches in front of the rust wouldn't work for me. I mean... who knows what someone did before. I went to replace the rockers in my pickup... and someone filled the heck out of them before - plenty of fiberglass/filler... They looked good in places... but had started cracking. Yeah, there was rusty metal behind the stuff that looked good. So I'm sitting here thinking "Oh no... you want to cut out the old before you slice up the new!"... and then wishing you showed us all you did to the inner rockers. I guess 415 is a product?... I was really hoping to see more of that (and wanting to verify there was no rust lurking behind what "looked good". Of course I'm absolutely certain that YOU, of all people, know what you are doing.... always excellent work. Was just hoping to see a little more is all. Thanks for sharing this with us - still eager to watch you move on from the metal work.... and now I'm trying to figure out if a trip to Wyoming is in my future.... lol.
Actually, the coating he mentioned is POR-15. POR stands for Paint Over Rust. I've been using it since the early 90's. It essentially neutralizes surface rust, stabilizes it, and locks in the metal, preventing oxidation.
Getting my dose of content from Rust Bucket: the content, even though time elapse is always a pleasant detour from the daily grind.
Always enjoy a son and father working together, especially how he'll be driving it when your in a rocking chair. 😆
I predict a Hellcat donor.😀

Two many welds. Three times as many as factory.
Watching a lot of rocker videos. I’ve had a rust free rear clip 70 roadrunner in my basement 40 years. It’s cut 12 inches forward across the car forward of door jam. I just bought a whole 70 car severely rusted rear clip but the front of car is really dry. How would you recommend splicing them together. The downer rear clip is absolute rust free but only has 12 inches of the rocker and perfect quarter panel. I’m sure some structural planing needs to be understood.
Send me some photos on Instagram
Ok I can have one of my kids show me instagram tonight. Thanks.
Did you forget to paint the inside of the sills (rockers) before welding back on or can you access from the otherside?
And did you finish it. The 68 Camaro
Nope! Had someone offer to buy it before I could even get it on the road!
As usual awesome job, I need to do the same thing to my 70 barracuda, but the front half. Can we work a deal on the rocker panels? Thanks tw
Absolutely! Shoot me a message on instagram
@@rustbucketrestos6511 cool my wife, Sandi Winton, will be messaging you
How did you get Oxford and primer behind the rest of the rocker panel?
I reached up in there as far as I could with a brush. I also used a conical aerosol nozzle on a long tube
What will you doing with the donor car after your done with it?
Probably parting it or selling whatever is left. I may already have someone lined up to buy it.
do you have a video that shows removing the windows from the doors and back windows, or is easy enough to pick it up and understand it without explanation? thanks
👍🏻🇦🇺💯⛽️
is there way to send little pac for Tbone?
Absolutely. Send me a message on Instagram.
Let me know on the rocker panel scrap piece(s). I can send proof that mine is crap and could utilize it on my 71 cuda. Thanks!
Have your son use earplugs connected with string you both will appreciate this safety in the futur'e
If it’s louder than a microwave ding he plugs his ears.. I think the video made it look a little more dramatic than it was actually being there.
Reversing the ravages of rust with every installment! That tool you finish/burnish the rocker with is amazing. I'd be afraid I never stopped with it and thin out the metal too far. You've got the touch though. Great video. T-bone is way ahead of other boys his age learning to operate power tools and fit panels. He's learned that all important skill of thinking ahead on what his Dad will need next and handing it to him(panel screws). That July goal you've set yourself is really ambitious. Hope you make it.

Me too! Time to get busy! 😎🤘
Hi, what happen to the 68 Camaro conv.
Yikes, I had to pause 9 minutes in seeing the new rocker cut before the one on the car was cut
There’s a method to the madness!
@@rustbucketrestos6511 That method was "Have Faith Brother" that there won't need to be more cut out of the rocker than first appears. Glad it worked out though, gotta win sometimes
Why open the quarters and NOT do the Hemi/Vert stiffeners/stuffers? Tbone shouldn't wait until the rocking chair, he should start now. Run a 225/6 or step up your chassis stiffening game before birdsong is embarrassed. This car will be a pretzel.
Where's the POR15?
Did you inspect the front rockers inside while it was open?
This car will be getting the full USCT chassis stiffening kit in an episode or two. Can’t wait! I’ve shown how to do POR15 in probably 10 different episodes. These also got the full treatment inside. The insides of the rockers looked great! The inners especially are just about mint! 😎🤘
Have'nt you bought a phone for your kid???
Never!
