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!!
@211 lol oh boy. You’re the clueless one here buddy
@211
😂 only 761,000 to go!!
That’s beautiful country
I would love to have a car like that. Thanks for the video. Keep up the great work.
No, it's mine
I think it's a little bit strange that Robby would miss Hillbillie's wife and kids... lol
Happy Father's Day to all you dads!
What a way to start a video.
I wasn’t gonna say anything, but…🤔
Right 😂😂
Ahh beat me to this comment!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I can only say this Road Trip video needs to be nominated for an Oscar. Kansas will never be the same now that the Layton crew has left for Utah with the "69 Dodge Charger". In my working days, I traveled the entire state of Kansas and have been in every one of the towns you stayed or visited sure enjoyed the venture.
Looking forward to watching the rebuild. The department of Tourism for Kansas owes you all some money for the great publicity you did for the State.
2:20 I'd definitely prefer the '69 - but then, I'm an old fogie. Love how small it looks next to the modern ones - and to think that people always assume those old ones are so much larger than a modern car. Think again! 😁
Robby: Keeps doing burnouts
Also Robby: wonders why the car runs hot lol
And is chugging fuel...
Nice change of pace. Thanks for bringing us along on the trip.
I think we need more sanding videos 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good luck guys
Agree

Hey Robby, I actually graduated from Fruita Colorado in 1979 so I recognized that convenience store immediately. I still live in the Grand Junction area and shoot most of my UA-cam videos teaching Drywall in this area. I also have a 1927 model T with a 1969 440 dodge motor in it similar to that car.
I was traveling through Colorado in 2017 and stopped at the Fruita Vietnam Memorial.
@@phillipdewitt4454 that is a cool memorial with the Huey on the pedestal.
First off, I love your show and learned alot about controllin skeeters from you. But I gotta know...A Ford with a Dodge in it? Bruh! Why in the whorl?
@@81970277324 lol I’ve thought about swapping anything into a Chevy just to even out the crap
Loving this adventure! My dad had a 69, someone wrecked it for him when I was little. Hard as it would be to let her go if I won I'd give her to my dad, watching him light up like a little boy on Christmas would be so worth the pain of handing him the keys.
You could enjoy makin' pop"s day and probably wind up owning it anyway,a few years down the road.Plus you would know where it was in the meantime.win,win.
Great trip, liked you guys had fun.
The idle mixture screws only change the A/F mixture at idle. The main metering circuit is what you really wanted to adjust and that involves replacing jets/metering rods as needed.
Good catch on the lower radiator hose.
Pull the plugs and read them. See if you are running lean or rich. Dieseling points to timing issues and alternator is feeding back into the ignition system. Safe trip mens. Ernie is a very cool fella. Loves old cars.
you are 100 % correct
Right on! That pic of Ernie looked like he might have been to a safety meeting prior to the taking of the pic...good stuff, I was class of `79 safety meeting chairman!
Thank Robby, Hillbilly and Ernie! That was a fun trip!
Yep. That's a road trip none of you will ever forget. Thanks for taking us along.
Goodness this is such a fun video. I love all that high energy personality.
It really takes a lot of effort to make these old cars run, what an adventure!
2:17 Holy smokes, new American cars are so unnecessarily big!
Makes the 69’ Charger look like a small Dodge Dart parked next to the new Charger.
My 74 charger is humongous, I've never seen a brand new charger up close so I can't even imagine how big they are
I would take the 69 as well. That has been my favorite care forever. Love the body lines and the stance, and the sounds a Mopar makes when set up right is awesome!
no,really? who "woudnt" take a restored 69 charger,potentially worth $100,000 +......
I'd rather have a '69 'Cuda 440.
That was a fantastic road-trip! :) Thanks for taking us along with you all! :)
I love Ernie's "Expertly Installed" tagline! 😂
Glad you enjoyed the trip in my Charger! Take care of her. Be Safe and God Bless!
That picture of Ernie in highschool was priceless.😂😂😂👍👍
Thanks for the great call-out when you stopped in Fruita at our local businesses! Wish I had known, love that Charger!
I made this same drive several years ago with my family. We started out in Augusta, GA and drove all the way to the top of Pike's Peak. Next we visited family in Salida, CO. Then we drove down to Albuquerque, NM, then up to Salt Lake City, UT then up to Pocatello, ID. Next we drove through Yellowstone National Park. Next we drove to Casper, WY, then down to Denver, and down through Kansas and Oklahoma to Dallas. We ate dinner with family in Dallas, and spent the night. We got up Sunday morning and then drove 13.5 hours back home to Augusta, GA. The trip took 10 days and nights, we passed through 18 states and drove 6000 miles in our high mileage 2007 GMC Yukon XL. It only needed one quart of oil added during the trip and it has over 200,000 miles on the original 5.3 V-8 and transmission. It was a trip of a Lifetime for us and our kids!
Happy Father's day to you and all the dad's out there.
Omg !!!!..... best trip ever !!!..... made us all feel like we were traveling along !!!.... keep up the great work guys....excellent editing by "da Boss" !!!
Seeing this program brings back the cross county trips I did, gas was only 25 cents a gallon when I was 18 years old. I was driving my 1962 ford F100 with a 223 engine at the best 18 MPG. I drove route 66 from California to Chicago when I felt sleepy I would just pull off the road and sleep and at night I would stop at some farm's/rancher's house and ask if I could sleep under their yard light. I would sleep on the bench seat both doors open and feet hanging out. It sure was fun doing road trips like that. If you have time to do that do it so much fun. Robby wish I was with you on that trip, It looked like so much fun. I have been so lucky in my life!
I can't believe this channel hasn't hit a million subscribers already this channel is growing so much and I'm so happy for you can't wait for you to get the million
This was a great road trip, lots of fun. Thanks for taking us along.
That wrecking yard will be cleaned out in a month after this but wow, what a collection and all in good condition!
Beautiful, beautiful car Robby. Very rare and way past affordable here Down Under but a dream machine for sure.
Proud of you all, for doing what you do. I love old cars and so does my 88 year old grandfather. We have been watching your channel for a long time now. You do some amazing work. I know my grandfather would love to jump into this classic event day and just see the world, especially when we move to our new home. 😉👍
The whole trip back to Kansas to repair and recover the Charger for the trip back to Utah is a hoot! I have really enjoyed this adventure with you guys! And kudos to the wives and families for letting you be gone so long away from home! I am looking forward to this project as it progresses. Thanks for sharing this adventure and project with us!!
That car is beautiful. My dad has a 1971 Dodge Charger SE (bought when he graduated high school). It has a 383 Magnum and runs terrific. He had the motor rebuilt by a company in Washington IL, and they did a great job. Good to see another old muscle car lover on here!
I love this channel, It is like a modern day dukes of hazard with professionals who know what they are doing!
This was a hell of a show really enjoyed this I’m gonna watch it over again see if I missed anything thank you Robbie and crew👍👨🏻🦳👍
great coverage ! thanks for sharing
Great road trip video!!!!! Thanks for taking us along.
I must say... coo-toes to you all and your editors, I was entertained trough out the video. NICE JOB
I love when carb n00bs adjust idle fuel micture screws thinking it'll lean the motor down...guys.. next time you want carb advice ask someone who knows. your edelbrock/carter carb uses jets and needles in the carb to lean the mixture out, all you did was lean out the idle a little bit. Keep up the good work and I can''t wait to see this finished. Your radiator problem isn't the lose fitting, that is only functional when the cap has exceeded its pressure, I hate being old and knowing exactly what you are doing wrong, but I will tell you your problem is rust in the block it's had water in it for a long time and all that scale and rust is being loosened by the anti-freeze and is clogging your radiator tubes, the tell tale is the rusty water coming out. If you know how to use a vacuum gauge you can set your timing with it, loosen the distributor and take the line off the vacuum can and adjust the timing till you get the highest vacuum and idle, turn the idle down then tune the carb screws you leaned out erroniously to reset your idle, take the top of the carb off and get a size larger needle to lean the engine out a little for the mountains. Glad you caught the lower hose issue.
They only want to adjust idle.
Did they change the thermostat?
its not actually rusty water coming out, thats literally the colour of the radiator fluid they put in
I love it when Keyboard Commandos criticize others. You’re a prick extraordinaire.
Exactly!
Loved to come along with you guys thanks for posting
As a life-long Mopar fan, this was awesome. First two cars were 60s Darts, and my dream has always been to own a late 60s Charger, Cuda or Challenger. 😍
Now find the boy hood home of the Dodge Brothers.
Nice video, I love road trips.
Great trip, enjoyed the heck out of it. Another video expertly watched.
Keep doing what you're doing. I'll keep watching.
Thanks fellas.
Great job guys. Glad to see a new video. Glad you still moving forward. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends. Weld on. Fab on. Keep painting. Keep making. God bless.
Thanks for sharing your ride with us.👍
Awesome Trip & Awesome Story! You guys are great to watch, so positive and refreshing to see optimistic vibes. Man, I need some of those cupcakes being I already live in Denver. Road-trip!!
Looked like a pretty good road trip, y'all! Thanks for bringing us along!✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦
Very cool road trip. Thanks for taking us along.
SO impressed you did all this stuff on the road. You guys are so resourceful and full of knowledge. I learn so much from you guys.
Great episode! Thanks for taking us on the adventure with you in that sweet ride.
Robby I'm glad y'all made it back home and it looked like Y'all had some fun on your way home to and Happy Father's day to y'all
What a fun video you and your team are killing it with the quality and content of the videos!
That’s awesome! Thanks for the tag along looks like a fun trip what a great car! Have fun and thanks for sharing
Great road trip! It was probably overheating from rust blocking the flow through the block. That can cause radiator hoses to collapse. Or the cap could be sketchy.
Yep, my '68 440 Charger RT had that problem. It would spew red, rusty water. The block had sand in it from a faulty casting process. It was replaced under warranty. It was a great car back when gas was 20 cents a gallon! I bought it new, I am that old.
Or, it could be because its a dodge.
@@quantumss Doesn't matter if it's a Dodge, a Ford or a GM product - none of them like to sit for a few years with weak or watered-down coolant. The freeze plugs rust, someone starts it up and it blows off flakes of rusty core plugs - plugs it up.
This has been a great voyage so far, can't wait to watch the future videos of this car being restored!
Thanks Robby! One of the most fun and interesting videos. Enjoyed watching. Keep up the great videos.
Great road trip , Thankyou team Layton .
We really enjoyed the trip, thanks for bringing us along. Ĺike said before you left, you're not going to have any problems that you couldn't handle. I love watching you. Keep all the enjoyable entertainment coming. Thanks
Such a fun trip to watch. Thanks for all the sight seeing tips.
Great video, fun watching you guys.
Having graduated in 1969 and my best friend owned a charge,r my heart was with you guys! Awesome trip, glad we got to go along!
awesome adventure! those cupcakes looked yummy. awesome pic of Ernie too! thanks for sharing
This was a great trip. Back in the day, I had a '56 Ford PU that I had to constantly adjust the points. I've owned three Dodge PUs
since then. I'm such a Dodge fan. This was a really cool trip to watch.
I had a great time! thanks for taking me along! one of my fav vids
I think this was my favorite of your videos. Watching guys do stuff is awesome
Getting home safe to your family is a blessing. Happy Father's Day to all of you team Robby Layton. You have a great team and good friends. Congratulations for the safe trip
Been looking forward to this episode 👍
Roby and crew awesome job on keeping the charger going on the cross country trip. Thanks you for sharing that exiting journey. Keep up with the great videos. I hope to do the same in the future.
Thanks for bringing us along on the adventure. I'm going to have one just as great driving it to Florida when I win it . Keep up the good work.
That was a fun trip. Nice car and you guys are a riot to travel with. Cheers to you all !!
Such a sweet ride. Hell I’d be happy to win it just like it sits. I can only imagine how sweet it will be once y’all restore it!!!
I've been waiting to see an orange Dodge Charger pull up in front of the Chrysler Home in Ellis for a few years and you guys came through. Thanks for stopping and spreading the word about the Walter P. Chrysler home in Ellis, KS.
Robby thanks for always giving classy content. I basically follow 3 channels the most. Yours, Paul’s, and Matt’s. You obviously are a hard worker and it shows. Blessings to you and yours. P.S. more Dinner please, dude is funny.
Great adventure. Love the Charger amazing how small it is next to a new one.
I thoroughly enjoy your videos! Keep up the great content!
What a road trip! You guys rock. I broke down on the Eisenhower pass with a motorhome that could not handle the pass and had fuel issues. So glad you made it home safe!
Just so you know, You Re Jet a carburetor for altitude, the idle screw and vacuum gage are for just that, for Idle only. Which you also do for altitude. If the car stays there, then you may want to re jet it.
Definitely one of my dream cars....can't wait to see what you guys do to it
Did you get a picture of the car in front of Walter's house? That would be neat to frame and put with the give away car. Wakeeney Kansas is the town they used in the movie Twister. I had to laugh at your new purchase of tools, everyone made sure they were clean and put away correct and the case closed carefully. Everybody does that with new tools. You guys make for a really good road trip.
what a fun loving bunch of friends you have, i loved your history class session, and video i am glad you all made it to utah safely.
Fun episode, Thanks Robby
Awesome car. Can't wait to see what it looks like when your done.. someone is going to get very lucky. Luck has never been on my side.. keep up the hard/great work
I'd be afraid to drive it, because you know this thing is going to look *perfect*, lol...
Such an awesome road trip in such an amazing car. Glad you got to enjoy some of the sights along the way. But go easy on the junk food, that stuff catches up with you before too long!
Great trip, thanks for the ride along! Make sure that we get the videos on the Charger rebuild, please!
What a great trip! Glad to follow along 🤙🤙
I'm loving that charger. Can't wait to see how it turns out. Interesting that it's similar to the nuggets color.
FYI, the painting was a depiction of Vincent Van Gouh's "Sunflower", not Picasso. Looks likes you're all having a great trip. Looking forward to the rebuild.
Fyi, it’s a movie quote. It doesn’t matter who painted it. 🤣🤣🤣
*Gogh 😎
(*Van Gogh)
I came to make the same comment, but already here.
What an awesome journey !! Enjoyed every bit of it. Greetings from Australia
"You got to be kidding me" !! ... luv you guys ... really enjoying the trip guys , thanks !!❤👍😉 Had to add .. " Hill Billy knows his stuff .. Nice goin my cycle riding bro ..
So what was the actual mileage for the first break down and who won? Glad you brought us along for the ride, was happy to see it. Wishing all of you a Happy Father's Day!
That was an amazing trip guys, to bring the Charger that far with no real problem, just a little running maintenance is testament to how awesome that car will be once overhauled, and everything checked out properly. Glad you all made it home safe and well.
Thankx for the cruise !
I started watching you guys after coming over from MORR and FAB RATS and you guys are just awesome too. The videos are always fun, but you 3 should do one of these road trips every year because this was the must fun video ever (well maybe bring Dinner too!). Good luck with the charger!
It's amazing to see the lineup of chargers. I thought the old was large, but it looks like a micro car next to the new ones.
new chargers are nearly a foot shorter-- he just parked further back in the spot
@@aubandjoe1778 but even the height seems way off.
@@matta1899 it is a little lower, but it looks more extreme because of the perspective
For real I really like,love, and appreciate ERINIE… keep it up Ernie
Love your vids and energy man.
Fun watching you guys road trip. Great crew. Keep putting your best foot forward.
Great adventure.
Thanks for the ride...
The videos on the ole charger have definitely been my fav ..convinced me to subscribe
Terrific road trip video(s)... really enjoyed them!
What a great road trip, lads. That Charger is a beast! Really looking forward to the build.
Nice, really nice. Thank you for the road trip. Hillbilly and Ernie… much respect.
Thank you for sharing your trip with the 1971 Charger. Had a 1973 with lots of good memories!!!
What a great trip.
Thanks for sharing
Another great video!! Keep them coming!!
