  • Welcome to 23RD Garage, in today's video we will be repairing the frame on a Wrecked Dodge Charger. This Charger was involved in a rear end collision and sustained very heavy damage to the left rear frame rail. I started by pulling out the frame rail itself and replaced a few skin sections with some new steel that i purchased from the guys over at "The Steel Store", if you ever need any raw steel materials they are a great place to start looking. www.thesteelst...
    The next step was to repair the rear wall and also fabricate a new pan for the left side floor pan of the trunk, I did this by hand and it turned out really nice. I was fortunate to not have to do any bodywork and was able to get the entire job complete in just a couple of days.

    I enjoyed the speeded up film of the pull, it makes it easier to see how the metal returns to its original form. The fabrication of the new panel was also very interesting, a real skill. All in a masterclass in metalwork to a budget. Well done Yuri

    Yuri, on the cursing; the You Tube Algorithm does not do foreign languages well- just curse in Ukrainian or Russian, which ever you are more comfortable with. Those of us interested in such things will Google it for definition! I know from long experience that a hammer can fix or move anything out of the way- but I never thought it was fire fighting tool! What was the random piece of metal hanging down under the bumper? And yes, it looks way better than "doing just the things asked" would have gotten it. Yuri, you live for a challenge- and this workaround is likely nearly as strong as Mopar made it. What a wadded mess to start with. Liked your use of the faster speeds as you pull- it really illustrates how the metal moves, and when you explain it up front, shows what skills you already have. Hope an English wheel and power hammer come your way one day- you have an instinct for how metal moves when you put force on it that is awesome!
