This will be as cool as the underside of a pillow! My grandfather was a Chrysler Plymouth service manager in 62. He drove a Hemi powered 55 Desoto. Green and white. Loved that car, he sold it for $200 to a guy that drove it home in the 80s.
Hey Steve. Greetings from Germany. I am Mike and a happy owner of a 62 Polara 500 4Dr HT with the original 361 in it. Love that Car and can‘t wait to see your Car becoming alive as a Sleeper 👍🏻👍🏻🤘
The air cleaner's function is to flip upside down on top of the carb while working on other areas of the car, and you have a solid bolt holder.... That's what my Dad used to say. He was a mechanic at a Dodge dealer so he wasn't being sarcastic...
I really appreciate you posting these videos and encouraging the pursuit of knowledge. Working on these classics is a dying art and you are going the extra step in preserving cars and the knowledge of them.
Steve, I have been waiting for this! I’m really excited to see you build this awesome police car. I’m building my’76 Dodge Coronet exCHP Police Pursuit as a sleeper also. Since it has the “born with” numbers matching 440 engine and it rust free I am going more a stock appearance restoration but I had the engine rebuilt with some head work and bigger cam so it made 513hp and 565 ft lbs of torque on an engine dyno. I am painting the car all black in the paint booth at my house with help from a good friend. It will be driver quality but with the body being rust free and very straight, I think I can pull off a period correct look like it would looked back in the ‘70s. Anyway, Best of luck with the build and I will be closely following the videos you make on your really cool cop car!👍👍👍👍👍
Nothing better than a sleepy car... When we cruised Hwy 100, West Allis, WI, back in the 80s, early 90s, I'll never forget the black 4dr 64 Dodge that would slowly bring his lane to a stop, only to lay the darkest set of tire tracks I've ever seen put down on pavement. You wouldn't usually look at that cat twice, with all the other boldly painted muscle cars that had tunnel rams and dual 4 barrel carbs, wheelie bars ,etc... That black Dodge was my favorite.
The Max Wedge was chronicled in the Beach Boys song “Shut Down”, with references to the 413 motor, dual Ram air Quads and a Super stock Dart. I grew up with this song and I’m glad your tackling the old Dodge, very cool.
Great to see you back at this project 👍 lol last engine I got from the junkyard said runs 60,000 mile . It ran but oil smoke poured out the tailpipe 🤔 wish you luck on the build and love the show thank you.
Some one in the back yelled out ' it's the cops . Near the crossroad where a tunnel rammed sixty vet and a 396 / 375 Chevelle flashed by the intersection neck and neck . Hopped in a 350 H.P./4 speed Corvette and could hear that rush of air half a mile away and wide open in second that Dodge went around me like I was on foot and caught the racers . Both of them . . . 1964/65
Yeah Brother Steve, I cannot wait till you get the 'Project REMcharger' going. Thank you for blessing us with this informative and VERY COOL video series!
I recently found you because of uncle Tony, looks like a sweet project, can't wait till the next installment!! I will be living vicariously through you on this build.
I'm sure glad your not going to LS the dart 513 stroker is going to compliment that car well good choice looking forward to the project. Keep up the awesome content. God bless you and as always be safe 👍
Who could forget the 421SD Pontiac that tore up the NASCAR tracks. In the mid 60;s I got a ride in a 1964 Polara convertible 413 sure grip auto I remember 2 sets of tire tracks when the guy took off and at that point I was hooked on Hot Rods.
I think I had an old magazine with a story on the 413 Super Stock engine. Those photos in your magazine story look familiar,. The loose rings and piston fit meant that it ate oil, and the induction setup didn't work in the cold weather - no surprise there. Looking forward to the next steps!
I’ve been looking forward to getting going on the Dart. You could do a video on your reaction the day your credit card statement arrives, the exhaust manifolds and induction system outlay will be enough to make anyone weak in the knees.
Dig the Remcharger name...very cool. When I was a kid my dad picked up a 65 Dodge and went to do a tune up and the air filter he got didn't fit...he went back to parts store with filter he removed and found out it was a 383 PI. Cool engine I remember looking out the pass side window and see the tire smoke in the pass side mirror,was the first car I ever drove.
Steve, no idea if you know this, probably do... The "RamChargers" were a group of Chrysler engineers that went drag racing for fun in their own time, and are the ones that developed the Ram Charging hardware, not only for the big blocks, but also as the long runner HyperPak dealer fitted kits for Slant Sixes. That 17 inch long intake runner got the same Carter 3083 as the 413 Wedge used on *IIRC* the 300F. Those carbs are now Unobtainium... The air cleaner lid you held up is the same as fitted to Slants DownUnder, and the HyperPak itself inspired the "E34" package for Aussie Hemi6 engines before the Tripple DCOE Webbers came along.
@@smiddysmidton8313 Came back to play it on the PC,... couldn't see the welded in piece on my phone! See the ones on the photo of the cross-ram, without the extra bit, those are the ones that went on two barrel Slant Sixes in Australia in 67 thru 69 - VE and VF models.
Steve you are my favorite hot rod guy! I’m an old school racer and have been looking forward to the rest of this build. I am an ex Gm guy and own a 2004 SRT 1500 and my daily is a 2021 1500 with an E-Torque hemi. This is my fourth ram 3rd with the hemi, one was a 366 towing motor which I hot rodded and I’ve ben a Mopar guy since.
Should be a cool build. When I was a kid our small village had a black and white cruiser like this but I don't know what engine it had. If you decide to dress it up in police stuff I have a period correct rotating red roof beacon that works and looks good.
Piece of trivia; the 1962 Dodge B body, in South Africa, was also known as the Polara and, the DeSoto Diplomat was the same thing along with Australia/New Zealand's version was the Dodge Phoenix. All of the above were RHD
Very smart buy, love the chalky patina. Too bad it didn't come stock with the monster Max Wedge, but the end result will be a killer build and it's gonna make this channel explode. Good luck and keep us posted. Cheers!
I look forward to seeing this project move forward. I started watching with my husband when you first got the car. He recently was able to get his brothers 65 Coronet 440 out of a farm field it has sat in since 1998. They swapped the original 273 out for another one from a 66 Dart years ago, so his plan is to recover it with a 383, and replace the cable shift transmission with a floor shifter and linkage transmission. Otherwise he plans to go stock. We look forward to some inspiration watching your project.
This will b fun to watch u build can’t wait 👍 Thanks for all the cool model stuff too . Also this car would b a cool shirt idea too if u come up with something I will buy one ☝️
Cool build! We did a '63 330 up with a 505" stroker. 600 hp is pretty easy and with the light weight of your '62 it has the potential to be a screamer!
Hoovie led me to your channel and the 62 Wedge had me hit the sub button. Interested to see the 513 come alive and hopefully lead to the drag strip. Cheers 🇨🇦
Got a 413 block with RN stamp on it could never figure that out . But if you really wanted a 413 don’t think I’ll ever get the cash to build it my self
In June '73 when my sister turned 16 she came home with what I thought was a ugly car-until I popped the hood. 413. Told her to be careful and if she sold it I would be the next owner. Couple of weeks later I came home and there sat a Bronco with wide street tires all around and headers hanging out the bottom. She' traded, I was beat out of the car, and she had to get rid of the Bronco when I discovered the pumpkin was welded. She should of had a dealers license, went though 12-13 cars her first 1 1/2 years of driving.
Steve is the man..Please bring back Junk Yard gold..it was the best show on MT
My head is spinning but I'll keep re-watching till I catch up...
Your enthusiasm brings back memories of my 1971 Galaxie 500 429 Interceptor build... Good luck and happy motoring Steve 🤞👍✌
This will be as cool as the underside of a pillow! My grandfather was a Chrysler Plymouth service manager in 62. He drove a Hemi powered 55 Desoto. Green and white. Loved that car, he sold it for $200 to a guy that drove it home in the 80s.
Been looking forward to this, been disappointed that it hasn't been on the channel for awhile but happy it's back. Should be a great build.

Born in 1962 just like the dart a face only a mother mopar could love! Love the Dart Steve going to be bad ass with that 440!!!

Goodday Steve,
Let's do it can't wait.

Steve Hello from Holbrook ! It will be warm soon and all of us in frozen Massachusetts can get out and play cars again !!!!!

Steve. So glad you are back on this project again! I could watch you talk all day about the history of these old Mopar cars!
worthy Endeavor you're a genius
I love this car , this early 60's era is perfect inbetween the over the top 50's fins and the mid 60's slab sided conformity .
Love it!
I was lucky enough to grow up during these years.
Ah, fond memories.
Steve I’m glad you are still here doing good i miss hot rod TV
Can’t wait for the next video. You’re going to have to visit us one day on Long Island with that beast. Our club will make an event out of it!!!
Great to see you back at this project 👍 lol last engine I got from the junkyard said runs 60,000 mile . It ran but oil smoke poured out the tailpipe 🤔 wish you luck on the build and love the show thank you.
Good to see this starting.

Love your Dart. In Norway we don't have so many left if it is some at all.
That is such a unique and kool grill.😎Keep up the great videos Steve.
This is going to be a really fun build to watch! Looking forward to it!
Love the fact that you're also leaving the paint alone. That's like a badge of honor! Very cool!
Excellent video Steve
Good video Steve!!!! Thia series is going be great!!
Yeah Brother Steve, I cannot wait till you get the 'Project REMcharger' going. Thank you for blessing us with this informative and VERY COOL video series!
I recently found you because of uncle Tony, looks like a sweet project, can't wait till the next installment!! I will be living vicariously through you on this build.
Steve,Cool car. Good luck putting it back in shape.
I'm sure glad your not going to LS the dart 513 stroker is going to compliment that car well good choice looking forward to the project. Keep up the awesome content. God bless you and as always be safe 👍
Steve's passion for all things Mopar is endless. Only he can get me excited about a rusty air cleaner lid...
Looking forward to this build. I'm sure to learn a lot along the way.
YEAH!!! I can't weight to see how you build this car up, especially as a survivor clone, those are my favorite.
Who could forget the 421SD Pontiac that tore up the NASCAR tracks. In the mid 60;s I got a ride in a 1964 Polara convertible 413 sure grip auto I remember 2 sets of tire tracks when the guy took off and at that point I was hooked on Hot Rods.
I definitely think you should restore it to make it look like a police cruiser
I think I had an old magazine with a story on the 413 Super Stock engine. Those photos in your magazine story look familiar,. The loose rings and piston fit meant that it ate oil, and the induction setup didn't work in the cold weather - no surprise there. Looking forward to the next steps!
Love the way you focus on the historical details of the classics. Modify tastefully without loosing what make them so interesting.
Project “REM CHARGER!” I love it and I get it Steve! Keep the videos coming and keep having fun.
That car has some cool lines on the side you show.
Thats so cool! I hope you restore it to its popo glory days, reshoot it in Eastwood single stage with decals, shotgun, lights, etc,...good luck!
Steve, your automotive geekyness is too cool . I love your dedication to our hobby (life) lol 😆
Yes getting back to the 62 👍🏻👍🏻
Glad to see this one back on the radar. Looking forward to the series.
Great content Steve. I’ll definately be “awake” for this series
this is so cool! but i hope you do something to preserve the body/under carriage.
Steve - been waiting for updates. Excellent video!
I'm excited to see a build with Steve.
Looking forward to this "build" should be fun, thanks for taking us along Steve.
I’ve been looking forward to getting going on the Dart. You could do a video on your reaction the day your credit card statement arrives, the exhaust manifolds and induction system outlay will be enough to make anyone weak in the knees.
Steve, It's a nice project. However, I'd finish it with a nice coat of white paint. This Dart appears to be solid.
Didn't see any newer updates after this video. Hoping that winter 2022/2023 brings fresh news on this Texas Lawman. 🤘😎
That'll be a definite sleeper Steve , Ill be following your build on this car.
Amazing that you know all the V-I-N of so many cars
Anyone with dirty hands who references Herman Helmholtz is all right with me! Thanks Steve.
Damn brother, I am having the toughest time waiting for this build! So excited!
Dig the Remcharger name...very cool. When I was a kid my dad picked up a 65 Dodge and went to do a tune up and the air filter he got didn't fit...he went back to parts store with filter he removed and found out it was a 383 PI.

Steve, well done on saving the sheet and getting the tag from MMC!
Steve you are my favorite hot rod guy! I’m an old school racer and have been looking forward to the rest of this build.

Old school! Love every minute!
Awesome looking build. Looking forward to watching this come together!

It's stories, and videos, like this that keep me wanting more. Thanks for sharing.
That welded cup inside the air cleaner. Looks like it would hold a few nuts and screws nice when doing a tune up 😁

The REM Charger is a dream car !

My late Father did the Art work for that catalog. I have a wagon like that
I cant wait, these videos are gonna be awesome!
Featured prominently in the movie "It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World"
Sounds like this is gna be an interesting project!
Hoovie led me to your channel and the 62 Wedge had me hit the sub button.
Interested to see the 513 come alive and hopefully lead to the drag strip.
Cheers 🇨🇦
Such a fun project, wish I was there to help out a little.
I'm new to the channel. Love it!! Looks like I need to go back and catch up on this project. 👍👍
Got a 413 block with RN stamp on it could never figure that out . But if you really wanted a 413 don’t think I’ll ever get the cash to build it my self
clean the white paint with comet clenser and see the great results,thanks Steve
I do appreciate your enthusiasm!! This will be great!!
Gonna be real nice sleeper...
Those factory steelies will look great with dog dishes.
This is gonna be GOOD! Looking forward to them all Steve!
Man....i love this stuff.!!!!! and this channel....so COOL,!!!!!!
This guy is the coolest car guy.......ever!!!!!
Oh paint it !
Oh boy...this is gonna be good!
Why am I thinking "I'm a Doctor!" Says dentist Stuart N. Price in the movie Hangover
Looking forward for this build!
It is going to be a great series.
We need more videos on this car!
Looking forward to the build. A stroked 400 disguised as a 361 would have been very cool too.
