Robbie turning into a little Matt. He now knows how to touch hot things and run out of gas. Two thumbs up Robbie.
Nailed it!🤣
Loving it..
Also love how they have come together..
😂🤣😂🤣
Give away at 1 million!,, I will be telling everyone I know about this channel! Such a legend of automobile history!
It's a beautiful thing that Fab Rats, Robby Layton, and Matt's off road recovery all upload the same day.
It's the best 👌
Such a happy moment 😊
We wait for it every week
They probably did it on purpose, and had a competition to see who would get the most views.
@@jeffparkinson5005 nope. It has to do with the yt algorithm. Bringing in new viewership to land on random people's front page.
Glad to see that you installed tires with some sidewalls.
Running out of gas is just Matt letting you know he's with you in spirit.
WELL AT LEAST THEY MADE IT OUT OF THE DRIVE WAY!!!!!!
My thoughts exactly!! LOL
@@Capohanf1 yes it only took a week to make it to the end of the drive way harray!
Matts having hysterics I'll bet.
Robby, it’s hard to describe how much I appreciate you restoring my 69 charger. I know it’s in great hands, let me know when it’s ready.
1M!!
Your gonna have to call Matt and ask him what the symptoms of running out of fuel are 😄 🤣 ❤️
Lol , if anyone knows Matt & crew know .
@@davestevens4263 lol exactly haha 😄 ❤️
I know my vehicle, ok
Matt running out of fuel? Noooo you must Be thinking of someone else
This comment wins TH-cam today 🤣
"Running out of gas happens to the best of us. Matt " But further more Robby keep the car. Find another charger for the giveaway. You deserve this ride . Keep up the great work with everything you and the team have done. With more to come. ✌
KEEP THE CAR ROBBY
I agree
Also agree...
When bleeding brakes you can save a lot of mess by putting a length of plastic hose on the bleeder valve opening and run it into a plastic bottle instead of squiting it all over the floor, and your arm.
You can also see the air bubbling through the fluid in the bottle
And also reuse the fluid. I've done it dozens of times.
I borrowed my uncle's '58 Buick for a special event, under the quid pro quo that I bleed the brakes first. He warned me that it's a hell of a mess, because the bleeders on the front are directly behind the knuckle, so it's impossible to put tubing on the bleeder. My assistant pressed the pedal, I cracked the bleeder, and a stream of brake fluid shot out... and straight through a hole forged in the knuckle, exactly in line with the bleeder, clearly designed to accept a tube through the hole and on to the bleeder. He had never noticed the hole. 😂
No doubt it's cleaner but as the saying goes, "That's good television!"😄
I just use my MityVac brake bleeder. No pumping necessary.
I would like to share this post with several different (related) bloggers as it pertains to all of them. First your productions are much more entertaining and interesting than anything on network TV. You offer REAL content, not staged bull crap like ALL the others (TV shows). You promote great family values and set a fine example for others to follow. You help others in need and share valuable information with us. You invite us into your lives and show us things we would never see or experience. So, THANK YOU all for what you do, it is appreciated.
The car will make double the distance, you are all doing a great job and paying attention to all the details!!
Lol that aged quickly
Think you’ll make it all the way with only few problems!
I was actually very fortunate that those freeze plugs blew out on you in the shop. Not only saving a break down on the road but the channels for the coolant were all blocked up with only gelled up anti freeze. So getting all that crap out was a real blessing!
I just love your channel, been watching since day 1 . Old Ernie & hillbilly are just awesome dudes . Only in Kansas will you find old new stock from 50 yrs ago . Y’all got this trip , maybe a miner problem that you will fix but sending great karma & you’ll make the trip after u get fuel .
I love your acceptance of life and it’s challenges.
Hey Robbie, best video yet! Totally agree about the bearing. Thanks for plugging Leo's. Hope the viewers take care of him. Safety first! Hands clear of the machine and eye protection when using the press! Wonder what Paul's laugh/cry ratio was watching this video. Torching the battery terminal was classic overkill! Propane is fine for that, lol.
Thumbs up. Battery cables and wiring done properly. Rare these days.
That’s the only Way I know how to do it :)
These 2 videos semi restoring the charger in a different shop are the best you have made yet. So good! Thank you.
Hot tip on bearings... They are all standard. Read the number stamped on the old one and you should be able to order anything. I learned this on my Lotus Europa 45ish years ago. No rear hub bearings were available in the US. My old man grabbed the bearing, made a phone call to a place called Bearing Specialties (or something like that in the south end of town) read him the number on the side of the race and they had them on the shelf. They looked a lot like a forklift carriage double roller and were about 1/10th the price if I had ordered them from Lotus in England.
I love Chargers! This was one of the most entertaining videos I've seen in awhile. Real life, breaking stuff, putting things in wrong ,till you figure it out..thats real life..sharing it all with your friends..Priceless! see you on the side of the road!...
HA!....agreed....just did a full suspension and drive train refurb on my 99 civic..#p.o.s..from the trans to the wheel well. MANY ISSUES...LOL...LOVE THE VIDDYS
It's Dodge City at our house. We have a few old Dodge pick ups. My husband once had an old Cornet RT with a 440 motor. He now regrets selling it. I have a 79 Dodge 4X4 side step with flare fenders. Would love to get it going again. Motor has been rebuilt, but having trouble with rust on side panel above fender. Wish you lived closer! I love your upbeat attitude even when there are big problems.
And then I clicked on it and it says “No stream”. Maybe Paul can get this video running! 🤣
Oh SNAP!!!
Same. At least it isn’t just me
I am having the same problem
Me to
Same here. No worky.
Great work every time you undertake a job.
I love your selection of wheels and tires. You guys are definitely living the good life. God bless
If it breaks down it will be in the first 250 miles.
And if you pass 250 you will make it all the way.
Watching you working on this gem brings back many memories of when I had my 69 Charger 440 mag 4 speed.
Loved that car!
But I had to part with it as at that time back in the early 80s I did not have the means to restore it. So I decided to sell it and let someone who had the means to treat it right take care of it properly.
I would love to have another one, maybe this one even? Would be Awesome to be driving that gem once again.
Love you channel! Keep up the Great work!
At least you weren't stranded on the side of the road having the u-haul. This will be a good story to share with Matt at off-road recovery.
You guys will make it all the way home with my new to me 1969 CHARGER. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK. GOD BLESS, AND LOVE FROM AN 70 YEAR OLD VIETNAM COMBAT VET. DOWN IN CENTRAL, UTAH 84722 OFF HWY 18.
you guys are great company, and has off to the editor, editing on point!
When I was 11 my grandfather bought a '69 Charger not sure if it had a 426 or 440 but it was fast as could be. Red with black v top. So cool to watch you guys building and learning.
Thats one gorgeous Charger!!! 😍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Robby,
You guys will make it fine! Your attention to detail will prevent a ton of problems. I am envious of all the stuff you guys know!
"This bearing has been sitting on a shelf, in that store, its entire life waiting for it's moment to shine. And now, it gets to shine..."
LOL. Somehow reminds me of a toy that never got played with, and finally comes off the shelf. Hmmm... Pixar should make a movie about that...
I had a rangerover radius arm bush with the British Leyland logo still on it. I felt bad using it :o)
Every time I build battery cables I use welding cable that is used for stick welding!! That wire is usually a 2 gauge or 4 gauge cable or wire!! I always use the bigger 2 gauge and I have never had any issues with doing it that way!! Plus lots of people that have problems with there battery cables or problems with starting and the wires getting to hot to fast usually end up doing it the same way that I do it!! Every one I have showed also love the neat look of how I end up putting them together!! Awesome job guys on getting that awesome charger up and running again!!! I definitely remember when I had built a 1970 Dodge Dart swinger everything on it was much much cheaper to buy for it 25 years ago then it was to buy parts for a Chevy pickup 4x4!! I went threw that dart that I built when I was in high school in the 90s and it was a 1/4 the price then it is for the 1969 Chevy 1Ton 4x4 that I have been building for the past 25 years!!! Remember keep up all the hard work guys!! You all are doing an amazing job!!!
I look forward to watching every episode of your vlog, the whole team has such great chemistry together.
I have a fond memory of cruising down US 395 in a '69' Charger as a teenager. As I recall the kid driving (I was a passenger) decided to downshift at 70 MPH and punch it. To our glee the car chirped the rear tires and jumped forward like a rocket.... ahhh the memories of youth....
I think it will make it. You guys changed so much and the motor sounds perfect.
It is so cool that hillbilly is in the videos he really knows his stuff as well as you all great chemistry
I felt genuine empathy for you guys when you found the freeze plugs. How exasperating. I love the car and have been subscribed for a while. Looking forward to following its completion.
Wow. An amazing find. I know I'm probably the 100th person to say this but I looked for one of these for years to rebuild with my dad and never found one. Happy to watch you and the whole team work on this beauty.
We're hoping y'all make it back without breaking down, that car would look nice in my garage up here in Wisconsin. You guys are awesome I love watching I've learned a lot from watching your Channel God bless and safe travels
Outstanding!
Born in Kansas.
Wyandotte descendant.
Love this channel.
This may be my lucky day (on the day I win her).
Look forward to the resto!
(giggle giggle)
That Charger looks amazing as is. Those wheels are perfect. I can't wait to see it after a complete restore. Love your work, wish you where on the east coast. I would love for you to repaint my 2013 Tacoma.
Robby, out of all of these different TH-cam channels I watch that is giving away a Free vehicle. Your vehicle is the best vehicle out of all.
This video was expertly uploaded! 🙂 Great jobs guys! Looking forward to getting the merch. Hope I get a paint chip!
The cars ship shape! It's smooth sailing from Kansas to Utah. Just follow the sunset and keep your eye on the road. You guys are awesome!!
What a show, y’all got great patience and stamina. Been there when working on the old ones. 👍😳💪♥️
Yes build your XJ Love the Charger
Great to see you working on the charger I’ve been waiting for the video’s first one was good, I still can’t believe what great shape she’s in great barn find, poor Ernie is getting the blame for everything you can tell who did most of the work lol, great job Robbie, hillbilly and Ernie, I see your subs are growing that’s awesome.
Fun project for sure, cant wait to see the process of restoration. I noticed you used a plastic fuel filter on top of the engine, I installed one on my '70 Duster with a 318, replacing a filter with a metal housing. Drove it on a hot day and the filter melted, dumped fuel on the intake, and surprise, fire! It burned the upper radiator hose and it extinguished the flames. The next filter was the OEM metal one
Wow guys, it's like you already rebuilt the car, Awesome job. See you on your travels, happy motoring! 👍👍
Loved the beautiful engine sound at the end! Awesome work to all of you!
I love this adventure to recover the Charger! Robby, you have a good crew to help you, and you all are doing great! I like to see the dedication to quality and proper work! Since I plan on winning this car, please take good care of it on the way home! :-) And thanks to your main boss Robby, for letting you go on such a long, away from home mission! Also, looking forward to your Jeep build- I love all your projects!
Robbie's and his crew are like the A Team. Robbie is the new Hannibal Smith and he loves it when a plan comes together.
Keep up the great content guys, love the channel
Why didnt you tow it with the u haul??? I would have..
Yep a call to Matt for troubleshooting is in order! Will make his day!!
I sure you noticed that the bearing box color matched the Charger. 👍
Excellent video Robbie and Hillbilly and Ernie
I wish I could be on that that trip too. What a nice adventure in our dream car. Prayings for a safe trip.
Of course Colorado is where it breaks down. Colorado is where most everyone breaks down. Good luck y’all!!!
5:25..."We need more "Made In America" stuff." Amen, and Amen again.
Robbie Layton Nation! Expertly Installed! Needs to be on a T-shirt.
Praying you guys have traveling mercies and a hedge of protection unfortunately I have never had good luck with those freeze plugs they've always blown out even as a temporary fix good luck guys stay strong Warriors
What IS a freeze plug and what does it do?
@@srameypr
water turning into ice expands the water in the engine to cool it will blow out the plugs rather than cracking the block.
@@bruceforsman4812 Thank you!
You will make home. You've done a whole lot more than some would do. And you made it an adventure!
What about the freeze plugs in the back of the block behind the flywheel?
😳 uh-oh !
Robby, keep up the good 👍 work, 1,000,000 subscribers is just around the corner AND
ABSOLUTELY WE NEED MORE - MADE IN THE USA 🇺🇸 EVERYTHING !!!
Robbi ... I feel your pain
Ive got a Jeep that has "fix this" issues too
Everytime I fix one thing 2 things break
LOL
It’s a jeep comes labelled as “for parts” right from the factory 🥴
@@scottsluggosrule4670 Just
Empty

Seems to sum up my Jeep issue
LOL
I LOVE this series! Seeing the work, the mistakes, learning, and finally the triumph and success. Thank you Robby and Hillbilly and crew! So many people coming together on this project. Someone is going to get an incredibly special dream machine, all with an expertly documented series on its rebirth. So amazing to see this happen. Wiah I could help.
You guys are going to make it! I got full confidence in the workmanship that you guys are putting into the car. #STAYSAFEONTHEROAD Don't forget to gas up boys. $80.00............ You boys forgot to gas up!!
One of your best uploads yet! Not ONLY was I impressed with your abilities and transparency, showing and owning any issues/problems that arose, to then finding the solutions, at which point, proving and showcasing JUST HOW MUCH mechanical/electrical knowledge and experience you ALL have BUT ALSO, the fact that you guys found, fine tuned, and mastered a certain UNIQUE STYLE in filming, producing, editing content for TH-cam that IS YOUR CHANNEL that's MOST impressive!!! ALSO, regardless of the location, it really shows that you have found the formula for creating CONSISTENT QUALITY CONTENT that is ROBBY LAYTON !!! You have come a long way! You ALL should be super proud!!!
You should pull back seat out and clean under it. The mice have been there!
OMG acquired a 1956 pontiac. All freeze plugs visable were awesome. Finally fired it up and the freeze plug inside the bellhousing was totaly destroyed. Puked every were. I feel for you!
Someone is gonna feel like they’re in heaven with this car ! It’s gonna be awesome 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
Robby has great content!! Keeps things enganged.
OK...a bit more than 750,000 more subscribers to go! That's a tall order, guys...look at what you had to do to get this far! I hope you make it...but I've got a feeling you'll have plenty of time to work on that car.
well, it will take a long time to restore, fix dings and rust and paint...
That is one good looking machine. I bet it'll look great when you're done with it (like the nugget). On the last video you were looking for names - if that's the original color and you put a black stripe on the tail section I'd dub it the name, Yellow Jacket or Stinger. Good luck on the journey back!
New paint job and that beautiful ride will look siiiiiiiiick
My neighbor had a 68 charger charger but I love he had A38383 in it and that was when my daughter was 1st born and I loved his car wow awesome job Robbie! That was 1976 when she was born But his car was a root beer Brown most beautiful paint I've ever seen Dodge color.
Feel your pain with the speed governor on those trucks. We just drove one across the country from New Jersey back to Victoria BC Canada with a dance floor (Cheaper to do that then ship it). Exact same truck.
You are going to make it and enjoy the ride. Cheers from Canada.
It was a privalege to watch you all get back to your first love Robby!Hillbilly has got your back covered!
I love it when you find NOS in an old shop.
Guys it is extremely important to make sure the bolts you use are not too long every time, I have seen engines destroyed by using a bolt that was a little long to attach the motor mounts , piston was clamped in place when the bolt cracked the engine block .
The correct way to change free plugs is remove the engine first because some are located in the back of the engine block inside the bell housing. It is the fastest easiest way to do the job and all are charged at one time. Guaranteed no problem later . On dodge engines it is common for exhaust studs to open into the water jackets so you must put tread sealer on the studs before you install them.
I've been dreaming of driving one of those cars ever since I was a kid watching the Dukes of Hazard it's gonna be awesome to watch this thing get restored properly.
I have complete faith in y'all making it back to Utah with no major issues.
That is one SWEEEET RIDE! Come on million subscribers!
You made your way around the KC area. That is pretty awesome.
This Charger is awesome. Wish i had one.
But i‘m afraid in my country they are not that common to find inside a barn.
I’m confident you‘ll bring that baby home. 💪🏼
Drive save 🤙🏻
Next time bring a trailer. Excellent show.
Love the rebuild. I am a big Mopar guy and I am really enjoying this. I watch mostly on the Television so I cannot comment unless I log onto the computer. Living in Overland Park, Kansas I enjoy some of the parts places you visit because I have been to most of them. Keep up the great vids and I will keep liking all of them.
as someone from lenexa, i recognized a few of them too..... they drove right by my house on I-35 near 95th.... always laugh when i see local on YT
The 69 charger is my second favorite car of all time (second only to 57 Chevy Bel air) I still love them with a passion! Keep up the great rebirth of a wonderful car!
That's one hell of a Dream Car! You guys are awesome Robbie
A little tip for you guys with full floater rear axles. Those rubber freeze plugs make great axle tube seals for when your axle shaft seals starts leaking. Just pull the axle and put the freeze plugs in the axle tube hole and tighten. I have a pair in my Isuzu Rodeo's spare parts box for just that reason. Some years ago I was headed to run the Rubicon for the Marlin Crawler Roundup in 2001 and blew out my right rear axle shaft seal before I even got out of Texas. I ended up pulling that axle and putting in the rubber freeze plug, flipped on the ARB and drove it all the way to California on one wheel drive. My buddy Randy Burleson went to 4 Wheel Parts and bought me a new axle seal and we changed it out that night in front of his house, then went wheeling with Marlin and the gang the next day.
They saved my vacation!
And yes, my Isuzu does have a custom made Dana 44 Full floater axle in it. I built it. (Front axle is a Toyota SAS...)
I think it's time to pull Ernie off the build... Expert commentary right there! 👍
Your right Robby, more stuff needs to be made back in the USA. Learned a lot of lessons these past couple years I think
I had a 69 SE with the 318 red ram. I loved that car. Fast, good looking, and beat every stock dodge in town!!! Then I spun a bearing,and ran out of money and replaced with a stock blue 318..... what a toad, traded it for a 71, 340 Duster Kansas City !
That was a mega ambitious project.
That's amazing you were able to find out good job
Giving away your dream car is an epic way to show your appreciation for a million subscribers. Count me in. I’m here for the restoration.
looking forward to another great
Robbie paint job
Love it! Can’t wait to see it restored. You guys do awesome work.
Yes you will make it because you guys are amazing mechanics and auto body specialists!
