1973 Dodge Challenger on the frame JIG Episode 2

On this episode we take the 1973 Dodge Challenger and move it off the rotisserie on to a frame Jig. This will help make sure we get the car straight again since its wreck back in the late 70's to early 80's. I then show how we built the frame jig and made sure it will work for this car and then we go ahead and mount up the car. I go over some key differences between the Dodge Challenger and the Plymouth Barracuda (Cuda) and what parts are similar on the e body platform and what I have found out to be different working on a bunch of them. I then cut off a lot of old bent and rusted metal and show you at the end of the video on what to expect when you look under quarter panels and roof panels of these mopar cars with the inner structure.

Where is the video for the 71 barracuda? I seen the video where you put it on the rotisserie and was going to do some clean up work ..I couldn't find that video

[@carthageclassiccars]

I have a video on Lead work, that is the 71 barracuda next video in the build, currently working through the body work portion of the car roughing it in. Will post an updated video in the next couple weeks on that car.
