As an OG subscriber, I think you are talking about the wedding Supra? I can understand how working on that one can be daunting, not wanting to mess something up that has such important meaning to you
That doesn't need a lot of body work, does it? I was thinking accord limo or that wrecked bmw drift car. But that's not very OG, so maybe you guys nailed it
I'm a mechanic and I love working on cars but I'm one again bed ridden for another back injury. I've had 3 lower back surgeries already and I'm a few weeks from 40 years old. But I just wanted to say I get a lot of joy living vicariously through you working on all of these vehicles. I love the dad jokes.
Hang in there, man! I had two disc decompression surgeries and have been so glad that I went through with them even though I ended up in the hospital for a week with an infection. L4 and L5, L5 and S1 was making my right leg useless and when my back would flare up, I literally had to drag myself on the floor to the bathroom. Now I’m playing softball again and swinging super hard. I’m running running pretty hard and even slid head first into a base a couple weeks ago.
Sorry to hear that man. It's a common thing in the automotive repair industry. My dad has upwards of 12 compression fractures in his spine. He's being held up by medical grade concrete. If I didn't get out when I did, I'd be on my way there too at the same age as you.
🤗 I bought another T-shirt as a part of my "sponsorship" 😍 Iook how great Jared is making the car come along!!! He is doing just terrific!!! right guys!? 😁👍
I finally got a welder, its basically the cheapest one Hobo Freight sells, but its a start. So thanks to your encouragement, im going to attempt to fix the rust in my truck.
As I may have already mentioned. Watching you work on the three wheel car. Watching you take a number of sheet metal parts and build your Mopar. So much more impressive than some guy who continues to claim he is rebuilding an ultra-rare, twenty-gazillion dollar flood car.
@@jeffreyshepherd8488the hybrid system of said car that is old and obsolete technology that serves minimal benefit to the actual performance of the car?
I appreciate your drive and willingness to do what you've never done before. Following your lead, I've made the terribly questionable decision to rebuild my 4L60e transmission, even though every auto repair manual I've ever read states that this is a job for a professional shop! I'm 70% done, and with some ingenuity, I'll have a rebuilt transmission for a 1/10th of the price of a shop (although, without the joke of a warranty)!
I also had replaced the entire rear end on my '70 Charger. Talk about a learning experience. I will say, I'm about 5 years into my project and I remember being so frustrated with learning all the metalworking. Glad to see I wasn't alone!
@@franswijnands4022 Haha, It's felt like that! For mopars, it's so damn expensive. The car hopefully should be done in the next few months, but, it has a full QA1 suspension, a built 440 with a roots 8-71 blower, roll cage, and a lot of supporting modifications.
I watch a few channels, and body panel fitment is equally troublesome across all brands. No matter who I watch, they all complain about the same issues regardless of who the panel comes from, or which brand the vehicle is. You can watch Pole Barn Garage, Weird Beard, Vice Grip Garage, they all struggle with fitment. The car is looking amazing Jarred, keep up the good work. Can't wait to see the finished product. Great video, thank you for sharing.
I'm not sure what music library Editor Dwayne uses, but I very much appreciate that he doesn't just pull the same 3 royalty free songs everyone else uses to lay over the montages over and over and over again.
This is just as fascinating as when you & Freddie were working on his 1st McLaren. It's like another Mopar only shop except without the filler. This is my favorite year for the B Body Plymouth which is only 2nd to a '69 Charger. Awesome job sir! Keep up the good work! BTW, the Sport Satellite is actually closer to a GTX without the 440 because of the high level of trim.
This week I swapped the rear end in my truck. I've never done a job quite that big before but managed to get it done in about a day and a half. These videos inspire me. I got lucky my new/used rear end is fantastic.
Jared. You are one hell of a mechanic. I love the way you proceed with caution and not go at it hell for leather. It's a pain staking process but you have once again nailed it.i have so Much respect for you and your never give up attitude even when it seems so overwhelming. You are an inspiration. Thank you for all you do.
Yay! It’s so great to see you making progress on this car! It’s going to be wonderful once it’s finished. Thanks again for serving up some wisdom alongside your always exemplary car content. Great job on the editing and tunes, Editor Duane! Is your heart car your MKIII wedding Supra?
"Great candidate for restoration" on any car listing means its a perforated mess haha. Biggest fear of buying a project car is needing to be a master Pink mechanic. I love the motivational speech at the end!
I thought it was hilarious while watching Mike Finnegans SEMA video where he was trying a laser welder and gushing over how cool it was. I was thinking, Jared has had one for a while!
Nice work! I’m restoring my 68 Mustang. I’m doing my first real welding on this car. Got the inner fender at the battery patched. Now I’m looking at the floor pans. I just need to dive in and do it.
I’ve got floor plans coming up on the Mopar, but if you go back to the Tri-Hard build I did one on it as well if you wanted a few tips on it, although a mustang is a fair bit different I cover a few things that could make your life a bit easier!
Something to think about is putting drains in the bottom corners of the rear window channel (similar to sunroof drains). Water collection is how that rotted out in the first place and has become a common practice, especially if that area is getting repaired anyway.
Great stuff here!! a a a Getting past the threshold of fear and apprehension is SO IMPORTANT!!! We put ourselves out there, and there's an extra layer of caution because we don't wan tto mess up in front of the free world.... I applaud you sir!! You're inspiring me on my Garbage Camaro, We're gonna burn some metal in a couple of days.. and I've flipped the script from being apprehensive to completely excited. ( partly due to you! Thanks!)
Just need to wear a little more PPE to get the full stamp of approval! I still question the green lense glasses for laser welding, eyes don’t hurt but it feels so minimal compared to our normal welding hoods.
@@TheQuestionableGarage I just jumped on board with "spot-welding" and was nervous at basically sunglasses as eye protection for that process.... I hear ya!
We have the same problem in the UK with panel alignment, replacement panels are often 20mm out, and the origional tolerances varied during the production run you are doing an amazing job, its a big old beast of a car, cant wait to see it finished
To answer your question, I welded in a partial quarter panel on a 3rd Gen Camaro with no welding experience. It turned out very well. Nothing compared to your project there but I have been getting slightly better at welding ever since. But it took that to get my confidence up.
This is awesome. I started my carrier welding in a body shop 50 years ago. We used an acetylene torch and coat hangers. Today I'm a CWI. But I never lost my love for working on old cars. Tig and Mig are good for sheet metal but just like acetylene welding you have to watch out for too much heat. I've not tried any Laser welding yet but when I first heard about it, I knew it would be good for that application. Just remember a grinding wheel and a coat of paint will make welder something he ant.
Watching your videos put me in the mood to fix my Passenger front on my 1993 Celica GT. Had to piece in the upper frame rail (for mounting the fenders), replace all the sheet metal in that corner all the way to the Main frame, and replace the Upper radiator support, and All with a Flux MIG because I make bad choices and couldn't find a gas welder that ran on 110v. That being said, once I cracked down and got started on it, I went to the JY, cut out everything I needed and then some, cut back to what I DID need, stitch welded the upper frame at a crumple zone, and when I was done, was only 1/4" in on that side. That being said, I think I want to pop the frame rail back loose, cut the stitch weld and get it a little straighter now that the rest is in place and perfect.
@@TheQuestionableGarage oh yeah, rewarding? Not so sure, . The more I looked at the car,I found the frame rails in the floor are bowed up a little, which isn't good. Maybe when I get the little things done and do the V6 swap I will pay to have it put on a frame machine and stretched back out. I would have just bought another one, but Cash for Clunkers was very unkind to these cars, very hard to find any in good shape anymore. It took 5 years to find 2 to get the parts I needed for the front end in the JY!
Also, lessons learned... Don't drill the welds all the way through the car your fixing, just through the donor pieces... Now I know! Filling in all the little holes was a nightmare!
@@TheQuestionableGarage I've been eyeballing the electric finger sander at Harbor freight, don't have access to an air compressor, working out of a 1 car garage.
Must feel so satisfying that you have brought that overwhelming rusted vehicle to what you have in this video! Great job and keep up the good work!! Thanks for the excellent content!!!
Imagine how many more of these old Mopars would still be around if Chrysler had built and coated them to your standards! On the other hand, you have authenticated Luke and Bo's technique of beating their Charger into shape! Nice work; we're enjoying watching you polish an old turd.
I’ve been there before on my dream project and put it off for years. Last spring I bit the bullet cut the year crossmember off my 110 and repaired the other damage and did my level best together it all back together properly. Now to. Figure out the efi conversion issues on that rover v8 so I can get back on the road. Keep grinding Sir, we are all working in our shops right beside you
Got my dad's old honda motorcycle back running and on the road after sitting since 1982! Was a lot of fun to tool around this summer! I was very nervous to get started on that.
"Mr. Powers, you'll notice that all the sharks have laser beams attached to their heads. I figure every creature deserves a warm meal." Nice work Jared.
I’ve got a bunch, and I find they work a lot better in new raw metal fab, and can sometimes be tricky in this style. Race car body work they get used a ton?
He-he, been performing a major interseasonal overhaul on my RC lately. Building it from a chinesium spec to a mishmash of Traxxas and tuning parts. It was a lot of the same tune'n'tweak, but at a smaller scale. Most of the things weren't drop'n'bolt whatsoever. The very first shakedown test drive at a snailish pace - and the right output shaft of my brand spanking new Traxxas tuning-spec differential snapped right off! Didn't last even 10 minutes. Gotta love parts made in USofAs... Never had such a problem with stock chinese diffs which cost six times less, but they tend to wear out in a season.
All of the MASH-style meatball-surgery you did to turn Tri-Hard from a rusting hulk with holes in the floors to something that could hold together well enough to rally race with is really paying off in quality department of your much tighter toleranced '70 Satellite MOPAR classic.
This show the patience needed to deal with rust. Is easier to buy a stripped car with no rust and just bolt stuff to it, than a complete car with rust, because it needs to be stripped, fixed (lots of work) and then bolt stuff back
You are right , in that there are limitations to what the laser can do , specifically in tight spaces. For bench fab , and easy access places, nothing can compare. I've welded stainless, aluminum and mild with good results. The learning curve is so much shorter than TIG. The welding speed is so muchfaster. The cleaning function is incredible , and may be the real game changer when it comes to restoration. I have a 2000w Dahang laser.
I continue to love the work that you're doing Jared! I'm very excited to see the Plymouth coming along for you! Big fan of the work that you're doing mate and you seriously just have such a good vibe! Keep up the great work and content mate! P.S. If you ever find yourself in Sydney, Australia, I'd love to buy you a beer haha.
Thanks for the inspiration, there is a sense of liberty in finally making the decision to just go for it. I reupholstered my 72 Satellite Sebring's panels with Hobby Lobby pleather. Did I know what I was doing? NOPE!, but I learned real fast about set up time with spray adhesives, angles cut to make good folds that didn't interfere with other surfaces in order to reattach the panels; can you say run on sentence? Uggh. But it was a confidence booster to DIY.
I've been watching you ever since you were a special guest welding Tavarish's "Baller Exhaust". God damn, how long ago was that? 😂 And now I’m watching you build a car! Amazing.
I love watching your videos :)your uploads brighten my day. I'm sorry I'm a day late I came down with food poisoning so I been sleeping alot past 2 days
Maybe now thanks to you I'll take my 1st car apart completely and restore it. Just a 67 impala but figured it's something I've been afraid to do but not now.
I was very reluctant to rebuild the front suspension on my Camaro as the coil springs scared the poop out of me. It wasn't technical but it was a lot of hard, dirty work. I got it done and didn't even kill myself!
This is my favourite of your recent builds, really enjoying this series. Its also the first time I ever did see a US tape measure. Y'all got fractions on your tape measure? What madness is this?
@@TheQuestionableGarage that would be awesome if you got him to paint it! id love to see this in a "Plum Crazy" paint color variant with black accents imo would be a nasty combo
@@TheQuestionableGaragethat’d be pretty neat! As I was watching this episode I kept thinking that you and Kevin were essentially at the same stages of your builds. Making all those aftermarket panels square up and be correct before welding starts has got to be super difficult! Just to get them to fit together before you get to the “are they square?” Part is crazy
@@TheQuestionableGarage Hm...Plum Crazy, then wrap the car. Get to the end of the run, take the wrap off. Like the Grand Theft Auto video game meme about the cops losing track of a car going into a garage because it came back out a different color.
Great video, Jared. Please, always wear your welding gloves and mask! That UV light is no joke. And yes, I definitely understand the feeling of frustration of wanting to finish or work on a project and feeling overwhelmed by the all the possibilities of something going wrong. I'm in the same position where I have a stack of, far simpler, projects I don't work on, because I'm afraid of what can go wrong. I usually either leave them sit or take them in small steps. That's what my autism combined with a burnout does to me unfortunately.
You never thought the old rust spots as 'hot spots"? they made modifications for every car because like you said, nothing fits. I never make welds if I can't see the back side, unless I can drill a small hole to at least coat it after. The end of the video is talking to people like me, as a jack of all trades and a product of failures. It was out of necessity because I couldn't afford it done by someone else and videos like this showed me how 🤘just wish I would learn more about custom steering, pedal position and seating position for my biggest project 😅

Use argon gas when you learn to weld or you’ll probably want to give up after all the spatter and ugly welds, and blowing holes thru sheet metal.

This show the patience needed to deal with rust. Is easier to buy a stripped car with no rust and just bolt stuff to it, than a complete car with rust, because it needs to be stripped, fixed (lots of work) and then bolt stuff back
You are right , in that there are limitations to what the laser can do , specifically in tight spaces. For bench fab , and easy access places, nothing can compare. I've welded stainless, aluminum and mild with good results. The learning curve is so much shorter than TIG. The welding speed is so muchfaster. The cleaning function is incredible , and may be the real game changer when it comes to restoration. I have a 2000w Dahang laser.
I continue to love the work that you're doing Jared! I'm very excited to see the Plymouth coming along for you! Big fan of the work that you're doing mate and you seriously just have such a good vibe! Keep up the great work and content mate!
P.S. If you ever find yourself in Sydney, Australia, I'd love to buy you a beer haha.
Thanks for the inspiration, there is a sense of liberty in finally making the decision to just go for it. I reupholstered my 72 Satellite Sebring's panels with Hobby Lobby pleather. Did I know what I was doing? NOPE!, but I learned real fast about set up time with spray adhesives, angles cut to make good folds that didn't interfere with other surfaces in order to reattach the panels; can you say run on sentence? Uggh. But it was a confidence booster to DIY.
J!!! Don’t be so timid. For a Mopar that thing is looking really good. Welderup! Let’s go. Cheers from near Aspen, CO.
I run my welder off a generator because my barn doesn't have the proper hook up right now. You can do it. 😂 I love this build.
I've been watching you ever since you were a special guest welding Tavarish's "Baller Exhaust". God damn, how long ago was that? 😂 And now I’m watching you build a car! Amazing.
Tony the Welding Jedi did the exhaust work, I first showed up in the 3 day Supra build but appreciate you following along!
@ I totally forgot about Tony. Thanks for the clarification. Keep up the good work!
Really starting to come together! Looks great! 👍😎
Appreciate you watching!
Jared, I think the word your looking for is precision. Maybe even "tightest of tollerances"
It's coming together!
I love watching your videos :)your uploads brighten my day. I'm sorry I'm a day late I came down with food poisoning so I been sleeping alot past 2 days
Good stuff Jared!
Nothing can mess up your day like finding out there is something wrong with your rear end. Luckily it all works out!
Like the shout out Kevin Tetz gave you and this project on his channel.
Love Kevin!
Awesome progress!
Appreciate you watching!
Maybe now thanks to you I'll take my 1st car apart completely and restore it. Just a 67 impala but figured it's something I've been afraid to do but not now.
Amazing work.. so satisfying seeing the progres!
Thank you! Cheers!
It really seems like Editor Dwayne has been having fun with his transitions and montages.
"fast and loose" is the phrase for moper bodies
What a great car! Great job buddy.
Progress feels good!
Holy smokes Jared thank you for the thing on how to reprogram the windows now all windows can be operated from the driver's seat !!!
great learning experience Mr. Pink I wish I were 40 years younger to throw some wrenches with you
I was very reluctant to rebuild the front suspension on my Camaro as the coil springs scared the poop out of me. It wasn't technical but it was a lot of hard, dirty work. I got it done and didn't even kill myself!
nice love this car build .... doing new stuff makes you wiser
Yeah, getting out of the comfort zone is part of the fun!
@@TheQuestionableGarage now when your super super old u got stories to tell the grand kids
9:02 been a long time since we have seen this on the channel
Oops… wrong graphic there 🫣
I noticed that too. I had to go back and make sure I wasn't imagining things.
@@TheQuestionableGaragei figured as much doesnt take away from the rest of the Ep lol
@@ste_zace Honestly it was a nice easter egg to see if people are paying attention
This is my favourite of your recent builds, really enjoying this series. Its also the first time I ever did see a US tape measure. Y'all got fractions on your tape measure? What madness is this?
I know how you feel. I did the quarters on my 64 1/2 mustang wasn't a easy task it was my first try at major bodywork
But you did it! It’s just scary to take that step
It was scary for sure but yes i can say i did it. Keep up the good work it's fulfilling when done
Love to see you getting your dream car getting attention 🤪
nice work Jared, Congrats!
Cool car. Good job. I love old cars.
Thanks! I'm really enjoying this one.
Jared you are putting a Satellite road runner on the road that s Cool 😎
watching this along side kevin tetz's "garbage" Camaro is the 70's restoration i need
Maybe you’ll see both of the cars and us together!
@@TheQuestionableGarage that would be awesome if you got him to paint it! id love to see this in a "Plum Crazy" paint color variant with black accents imo would be a nasty combo
@@TheQuestionableGaragethat’d be pretty neat! As I was watching this episode I kept thinking that you and Kevin were essentially at the same stages of your builds. Making all those aftermarket panels square up and be correct before welding starts has got to be super difficult! Just to get them to fit together before you get to the “are they square?” Part is crazy
Plum crazy or panther pink would be fun, but.. there are some high speed cross country trips in the car’s future so a less high impact themed color.
@@TheQuestionableGarage Hm...Plum Crazy, then wrap the car. Get to the end of the run, take the wrap off.
Like the Grand Theft Auto video game meme about the cops losing track of a car going into a garage because it came back out a different color.
This level of perfection is greater than my level of patience
Great job.keep moving forward
I’m glad to have helped
I'm "learning" how to rebuild a transmission by screwing it up, so, yeah, I'm a little outside my normal envelope. Thanks Jared, nice work!
Great video, Jared. Please, always wear your welding gloves and mask! That UV light is no joke. And yes, I definitely understand the feeling of frustration of wanting to finish or work on a project and feeling overwhelmed by the all the possibilities of something going wrong. I'm in the same position where I have a stack of, far simpler, projects I don't work on, because I'm afraid of what can go wrong. I usually either leave them sit or take them in small steps. That's what my autism combined with a burnout does to me unfortunately.
You never thought the old rust spots as 'hot spots"? they made modifications for every car because like you said, nothing fits. I never make welds if I can't see the back side, unless I can drill a small hole to at least coat it after. The end of the video is talking to people like me, as a jack of all trades and a product of failures. It was out of necessity because I couldn't afford it done by someone else and videos like this showed me how 🤘just wish I would learn more about custom steering, pedal position and seating position for my biggest project 😅
And I quote from pole barn garage,” mopars are made from Budweiser beer cans.”
Come on it already it looks pretty sweet! I hope it gets some clean electronics in it, such as a PDM.
