Wow , you and Dad are nailing this down no problem !, OEM picture shows how much more Chrysler could have done with the basic shape they come up with . Your rendition is much more refined / smoothed . Excellent work !
Shape is really coming together Nick. That happens with amazing experience and "beginning with the end in mind". I love the synchronization you and dad have working on the english wheel together! Your motion, communication, and visual references were invaluable to getting that panel shaped. Wish you and your family a wonderful Holiday and Happy New Year!
You can see from your face when your using the english wheel just how much you enjoy shaping panels ..metal shaping is much more than a job to you..wishing you and the family a peaceful and happy Christmas..
You nailed it! I am glad the "Trad Wheel Arch Gang" won out and swayed your direction of the car. It is looking fantastic. What a classic iconic look that has been updated and modernized. I remember 70's 5 MPH bumpers. Cleaning up all the structural tank like brackets will improve the car's weight markedly. Another good choice on this car. This will serve to smooth both ends of the car. This episode was quite engaging. For a metal geek like me, I found it entertaining and interesting. Thank You again for creating this content.
Great job relocating that contour line at the butt end of the car!👏 I have to admit that when I saw the horrendous condition of the charger when you bought it I didn’t think it was a suitable project!
lol! I always look at what it can be and not what it is... as long as what is works for what it can be... ie.a good roof and doors. (and no, i'm not into the egg nog just yet hahah!)
Watched from beginning to end. I can listen to metal being wheeled all day, so relaxing. Looking amazing, Great video! Merry Christmas to you and your family!!
The wheel opening arch looks perfect with that nice custom wheel! As well as the contour lines at the bottom of the quarter panel! 👌🏻 Overall body shape reminds me somewhat of the modern version Challenger.
WOW for sure. Your dad was correct about the kick-up at the rear. It looks great. I’m in total awe watching you work. Amazing. Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas.
That's coming along really good, great decision on curving the rear lower body line it compliments the shape of the quarter panel. Merry Christmas! 🎄🎄🎄
Nicely done Nick, when you kicked up the lower rear panel up by the back bumper area, it totally changed the whole look of the car! Love it! Great to see pops in the shop helping you too! Thanks again for the video and hope you and your family the very best of the holiday season!
Your craftsmanship blows my mind every time! I wouldn't begin to try half the stuff you do. But I have overloaded my brain with different skills so I would have to forget 2 things to learn a new one. When it comes to this stuff I'm maxed out welding in a panel, I can bend stuff and make it fit but doubt I could do something like this without ruining allot of sheet metal
Hi Sean, I really appreciate the kind words!! One thing, please don't underestimate your abilities. If you're able to shape and make a panel fit, you're more than capable to finish it. We'll get into making a body line correction, flanges, final fitting and welding this panel in the New Year. Until then I'd like to wish you and your family all the best this Holiday Season.
This..i was waiting to see. give that car a new heart and soul.im halfway through and still intreaged.happy peaceful holidays everyone.with out peace there's no home.
Great video. Thanks. Very intresting to see the process. I think you nailed it perfect. Less is more. Not too kean on seeing too much disc through wheel. Distracts from cool wheel. Maybe needs a drilled sheet metal disc between wheel and hub. Painted mat black. That would make the wheels jump. Less is more. Have a great holiday. 👍👍✌️🇬🇧☃️.
Pretty impressive ... learned a lot of techniques on this one ... lookin good ... by the way ... the yellow dot on the tire is where the valve stem is supposed to go ...
Great work again Nick, the lines really flow on the rear quarters... looking good, like the wheels also, anyway Merry Christmas to you both and thanks for a great year's viewing. Cheers Greg
Feature line in front of the wheel not only needs to slope down more (so that it ends at the same height as the rear one), but it also should have a slight downward curve (as the original car, and the plan drawimg). I am willing to bet you've already seen this, but comments help! Right? Haha Cheers from a fellow Canadian eh!
Nick you’re a true master with the wheeling machine! I’m sure you’ve seen Dominic Chinea’s YT channel where he actually makes wheeling machines? Plus uses them.
This is true metal shaping! Well done! Did you shim the one side of your bottom anvil up slightly, when you were putting in the lower lines in the quarter? Merry Christmas to you and your family.
The feature on the lower edge of the c panel just behind the door above the sill(rocker) is too high where it meets the wheel arch it looks at odds with the door line
Great eye! We'll get into making that adjustment in the next episode. That's why I never roll the wheel or door flange until I'm sure everything is where it needs to be. Thanks for the comment!
I have been seeing a lot of Click bait types of videos showing all the big three bringing back a retro car.... the 57 chevy car, the advanced design chevy pickup are two of them that come quickly to mind. I know they show fords and chrysler vehicles that showed a lot of style... the retro look. Have you seen that shown in those suggested videos by google Nick? Altho the two I mentioned are cool, I was never a chevy person. I was hard core to the brand ford. Actually tho seeing some of these old chrysler products like the late thirties and forties had a lot more steel in their floors. It would support the whole structure on just the floor with the top and sides rotted away. Both ford and chevy made many vehicles that the metal was thinner and would fold up on itself if pulled from the forest that had taken it back like say your 56 chrysler you have in finishing touches. That one kept me on my toes praying I would live to see it. Turns out the body (human) is quite a fighter and will not just lay down. So watching closely here and seeing how you and dad brought it around... and in closing, did those final bends... I was totally shocked at the quick upturn and how its going to look. Also no wonder our little power plants could spin tires. A fourteen inch tire and wheel assembly is so small compared to the wheel on the rig now.... not digging the wheel you just put on the back but give it time and I will believe its the wheel that should of been. Merry holidays to you and yours Nick
Looks real good - a proper correction for when the North American auto industry went "all wrong" in the 70's. Compliance with a bunch of bogus regulatory safety and environmental BS requirements ruined it all. THIS, however, makes the world better. Thx for the wheel tutoring. Merry Christmas to all.
Your "coke bottle feature" is too flat in front of the wheel if you stand back or look at the video it needs to drop down more like maybe a half inch if you step back towards where the bumper is and look down the side of the car it would be easier to see how much it needs to drop but it definitely needs to drop down more.
Nick you’re a true master with the wheeling machine! I’m sure you’ve seen Dominic Chinea’s YT channel where he actually makes wheeling machines? Plus uses them.
That really does factory Nick. Your dad was spot on, it flows beautifully, well done to you both, Joe
Thank you Joe!! NV
That looks amazing .I really like how you " tipped" the wheel opening using the english wheel . Thanks for todays lesson . So many useful tips. Wow
My pleasure!
I’ve always done my wheel arches with a bead roller and then English wheeled them, I’ve never seen it done this way before. I like it! Well done!
Thanks!!
Merry Christmas to you and your pops !!
Thank you, Merry Christmas to you and your family as well!
Nick ,I love it when you and your Dad work together. Plus like hearing from Vic is giving his opinion. Thank you for sharing your videos. You Rock
Thanks very much!!
Amazing work! I’m very impressed. I saw what you started with, there are no words
Thank you!!
Wow , you and Dad are nailing this down no problem !, OEM picture shows how much more Chrysler could have done with the basic shape they come up with . Your rendition is much more refined / smoothed . Excellent work !
Thanks!! I appreciate the kind words!
Nick you are an amazing designer and fabricator. Merry Christmas and all the best in the coming New Year to you and your family.
Thank you!! Merry Christmas to you too!
Love how you can see how the project is progressing just with your eyes. Brilliant.
Thank you, glad you like it!

I love the wheel choice. Its prefect for this car! Merry Christmas and all the best in 2025 to you, Vic and your family!
Thank you! Merry Christmas!!
You are a master coach builder, hats off to you Nick. Merry Christma
Thank you very much! Merry Christmas to you and yours as well!!
Magnificent workmanship.
Thanks!!
that is a huge improvement shorter and slightly more aggressive in the rear great job guys merry xmas
Thank you!!

Absolutely fascinating to see a true craftsman take a flat sheet and make a awsome quarter out of it
Thank you for the kind words!
Watched from beginning to end. I can listen to metal being wheeled all day, so relaxing. Looking amazing, Great video!
Merry Christmas to you and your family!!
Thank you! That helps the channel a lot! Merry Christmas and a Happy 2025 to you and yours as well!!
That wheel opening is everything 🤔

Thank you, I appreciate it! 👍
Thanks for showing the details on shaping up the quarter panels they are looking great! It's quite a process.
I appreciate it! Stay tuned for more!
I never fail to learn how to do stuff watching you. All l need now is one of them "dads" to help! Have a blessed Christmas.
Thank you!! Merry Christmas to you and yours too!
WOW for sure. Your dad was correct about the kick-up at the rear. It looks great. I’m in total awe watching you work. Amazing. Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas.
Thank you very much! Merry Christmas to you and your family too! All the Best in 2025!!
sei grande,finalmente posso ascoltare anche le tue spiegazioni in Italiano
AWESOME!! Thanks for the kind words my friend!!!
Loved the video, You and your dad are truly tradesmen. The cars looking sharp!!!!
Thank you so much! We appreciate the kind words!
No doubt you've a good eye for a curve. When you said just let me know if that slips where did I look? Duh!
lol! Thanks for watching!!
70' was a great year for many body styles..and this retro look is straight up sharp! Job well done!!
Thank you!!
That's coming along really good, great decision on curving the rear lower body line it compliments the shape of the quarter panel. Merry Christmas! 🎄🎄🎄
Thank you! Merry Christmas!!
Looks FANTASTIC!
Thank you!!
I'm very excited that your adding just a little more length back to the rear of the car. The coke bottle look is really what makes this car iconic!
I appreciate you noticing that!! It's a little change, but I think it will make a big difference!
This charger is going to be a Stellar ride! ..
Thanks!! I hope so.

Thanks, almost there!
Another fantastic show Nick.
From my family to yours we wish you a merry Christmas and safe new year.
Thanks! Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year too!
Pretty impressive ... learned a lot of techniques on this one ... lookin good ... by the way ... the yellow dot on the tire is where the valve stem is supposed to go ...
Learned something new, thank you!! I'll talk to my tire guy bout that
Merry Christmas Nick. Look forward to many more awesome videos.
Thanks man!! Merry Christmas to you and yours too!
This quarter does look close to the Charger and it fits the rebody. Merry Christmas

Will check him out when I get a moment. Thanks for the kind words John!!
Charger looks great
Thank you!!
Looks good!!!!
Thank you!! Getting closer.
Thanks for a great video Nick.
Glad you enjoyed it!!
This is true metal shaping! Well done!
Did you shim the one side of your bottom anvil up slightly, when you were putting in the lower lines in the quarter?
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
No shims, just a little bit of pressure to prevent slipping out. Merry Christmas to you and yours as well!
Looks amazing guys
Thanks very much!!
I’m liking it Nick
Thanks very much!
great work
Appreciate it!
Love it.....
Thanks!!
Great!!!
Thank you!!
Awesome video
Thank you!!
seems to me the crease line behind the door needs to angle down more or even be curved like in your concept?
Great eye Andrew! We'll tackle that next time. All the Best to you and yours this Holiday Season!!
Can you show how to put that wheel lip shape on the Fairlane quarter?
Sure! We'll get into making a few adjustments and rolling the lip next time. Thank for watching!!
Thank you!!
