My uncle painted cars in the 70s, I remember what seemed to take weeks sanding and filling 1 fender one summer. Could not wait for school to start again!!!!
This car has to be one of the cleanest, rust wise, that I've seen you do. Car is in amazing shape for it's age! Travis, hope you, your family and friends have a super awesome 2024! Thank you so much for putting out such great vids!
You got that right. A Chrysler/Plymouth car with little or no rust? A freaking miracle. I had a 1969 Satellite wagon. My first car. After three years in the upper midwest, it started to disintegrate out from under me. I would LOVE to find one this clean.
Who ever found this car and bought it got a real gem. The only rust is around the rear window frame. In the car restoration world this is a major benefit. I would love to see this car restored and your dipping process is a great first step. Well done all around.
When I was 16, I bought a 5 year old 1969 383 Road Runner near Chicago for $750. Mine had way more rust damage than yours, even being only a 5 year old car. It was rust rotted through both rear quarters, not unusual for a ‘70’s Midwest based car driven in salt. Your car is looking way better already. Amazing really.
You can't appreciate this video unless you have spent hours working on bodies cleaning up rust and smoothing out panels hoping it will be the last time you see rust. This was incredible to watch.
I am addicted to watching these types of shows. Amazing how much patience these guys have, you know it takes time, focus, dedication. I watch Motortrend and everything happens in an hour or two, realizing some of these take months and months, I am not sure I could hang
This is one of the best foundation mopars ive ever seen in my entire life. The owner pretty much has a time capsule roadrunner. Very minimum damage. Wow just wow. Travis I bet your jaw dropped afterwards.
The guy doing this car is local to me. He posted some stuff on his personal Facebook but I don’t think he has any other social media. I’ll have to check further.
Man my dad and I restored a 1970 roadrunner. This brings back so many wonderful memories being a young girl working on our car. We used to go to flea markets looking for atracks. I worked so beeping hard on her. I had only her picture in my desk and later locker. ❤❤❤
That is one sweet A-12! Those floorboards look like they just left the factory. Considering that the 60s and 70s were not Detroit’s finest hours for metal quality, this one is a unicorn. Someone is going to build a best-in-show winner with this body. Good luck. 🤠👍✅❗️
That is a super clean Mopar...not an easy thing to find and this one cleaned up great. It being an A12 car makes it that much better as it appears there will be very little metal replacement. Happy New Year to everybody!
Buddy of mine had one of those - brand new - same color - 440 6-pack. We used to be out with it, hanging in the shopping mall, racing everybody. It was like 'American Graffiti' movie every weekend. Way too much fun.
I’m pretty sure that’s not a normal pressure washer and also sounds like a “turbo” tip. Most definitely will damage panels if not done properly, dudes technique was spot on. But yes in the right hands, way more gentle and clean.✌️
I have to agree. That car looks incredibly solid. My brother brought home an original Bahama Yellow A-12 car in the early 80's. It's out there fully restored now. What a fun car to drive. 4.10's bench seat four speed. Oh those were the days.
Love watching people who are really into doing their work to perfection. The end result of preparing this project for restoration was really impressive. Their customer had to be thrilled.
Wow what a car. Makes me really glad to see that some of the nice cars are appreciated and restored. You know everyone loves these and wants to own a car that like, But owning a car like that has responsibilities for storage, maintenance etc. The really nice ones need a good home and proper restore.
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!! In all of the ones I have seen... with a very few exceptions. Have been absolutely rotted out from underneath. Gives me hope, that when it's time to do my Bird, it may actually fit in the tanks without much headache. Thank you for anotjer awesome video. Happy New Year to you and your family.🙏💜
Whoever stored that car knew how to store it properly and the condition of the metal looks fresh from the factory and that's what collectors eyeball when it comes to restored and all numbers matching vehicles.
Haven't seen that color green in years, and come to think about it, haven't seen a Roadrunner in years, nice job, I hope it looks brand new when completed. Thanks,
Surprisingly rust free for a 60s motor, I’ve seen much worse rust damage on vehicles just 15 years old, a very compelling watch seeing all the paint come off, makes a restoration so much easier as you can see exactly what you have
Hah. I live in the midwest and the rear wheel wells on my wifes 2011 Excape with 80k miles on it are rusting through. A car this old, this clean, seems like sorcery to me!
thanks Travis, again a great video, so satisfying to watch old cars brought back to bare metal, and rust removal ready for complete restoration...it would be great if you could do at least one brief follow up video of the final restoration, that would also be great to see.
Almost bought one in 1973, but bought a 69 Dart 340 instead. The Dart was a sleeper, and women didn't mind riding in it. The Roadrunner was a big car, and felt like a family sedan. Would have made a nice base for a station wagon.
Other thst one panel with the dent removal holes, that's a great body. The inter floors look new! Wow a 6 week process. You know you have the barest metal for restoration.❤🤘
Bro I just needed an oil/filter change! LOL nice vid. Very satisfying. Rm23p2G123917 was my project 30 years ago. Thank you for keeping the meep meep alive!
Watching you do the acid dip reminded me of the old pro stock teams that would acid dip their cars to knock off weight back in the early 70’s Anything to save weight and get an advantage on the competition. Sox and Martin, Motown Missile, Dandy Dick Landy, Butch Leal’s Rod Shop Dodge….All the big name teams…Billy the Kid, Billy Bagshaw’s Red Light Bandit….notice where I’m going? All these teams were the Mopar Bad Boys….Seeing this Road Runner get dipped brings back treasured memories of those bygone days. Thank You for the post and making me reminisce…. 👍🏻🍻💙😎
A friend of mine had his A12 Super Bee stolen back in 1970. Both of us have hunted for it, both online and at numerous car shows. It was a hardtop, hemi orange, black interior, bench seat, auto on the column, no vinyl top.
Happy New year everyone!
Happy new year!
Happy New Year!
Assalomu alaykum
Happy New Year!
How do you keep it from rusting after you get it to bare metal

No rusty ring around the wheel wells either. Still got the lace windshield frame though.
@@sommebuddy Adirondacks here, land of salt n snow... totally get it!

Hope you and yours have a great 2024 also! Thank you! I’m glad you enjoy the videos I’ll keep them coming!
Trunk and floor pans.... barely touched! Intact and super solid! Amazing.
seems it is galvanized
@@Сергей-к6ъ2ш It's not galvanized, this car was always kept in a heated garage or it came out of a desert climate.
Very satisfying 👍
Pressure washing my fence was so satisfying, making the totally dirty new again. This is next level satisfying!

This has got to be cleanest Chysler Corp car I've ever seen... Just fantastic... Someone should be very happy... great job
Same! Thank you! I appreciate that
You can't appreciate this video unless you have spent hours working on bodies cleaning up rust and smoothing out panels hoping it will be the last time you see rust. This was incredible to watch.
Lies. I can appreciate all sorts of things without being involved
I appreciate it.
I was thinking the same, there’s No substitute for experience! 👍
Thanks buddy! I appreciate that
@@minute_of_danglehow many times do you dip the body, obviously not everything comes off the first time?
Does the chemicals eat through the rope?
I am addicted to watching these types of shows. Amazing how much patience these guys have, you know it takes time, focus, dedication. I watch Motortrend and everything happens in an hour or two, realizing some of these take months and months, I am not sure I could hang
And what makes it even more rare is there’s hardly any rust in the usual areas like the floors and trunk floor. Definitely a sweet car.
I love these videos. So relaxing watching history come back to life.
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoy them!
This is one of the best foundation mopars ive ever seen in my entire life. The owner pretty much has a time capsule roadrunner. Very minimum damage. Wow just wow. Travis I bet your jaw dropped afterwards.
Agree that having a follow up with a body shop taking the body right thru to fully restored shape should be awesome. I enjoy watching your videos
The guy doing this car is local to me. He posted some stuff on his personal Facebook but I don’t think he has any other social media. I’ll have to check further.
I’m glad you enjoy them! Thank you! I’ll keep them coming for you!
That is so satisfying to watch.
My grandpa just gave me his 1969 plymouth fury 3 im so excited to get it back on the road!!!!
Man my dad and I restored a 1970 roadrunner. This brings back so many wonderful memories being a young girl working on our car. We used to go to flea markets looking for atracks. I worked so beeping hard on her. I had only her picture in my desk and later locker. ❤❤❤
Thank you for not adding any bs background music :)
Yeah, totally agree.
I wouldnt have hated if they added Sandstorm or Skrillex.
@@DirtCheapFU Sandstorm is always viable 😊
Actually a little metallica seek and destroy would be good!
Bondoooooooo seek and destroy
1969 Roadrunner ...... My favorite dream car and Favorite Year car...... 69 was the best year in vehicles for sure
Its like that rug cleaning channel but for cars. I love it :)
It's one of the coolest transformations you can have done with your car to make it look perfect.. IMO. 😎
That is one sweet A-12! Those floorboards look like they just left the factory. Considering that the 60s and 70s were not Detroit’s finest hours for metal quality, this one is a unicorn. Someone is going to build a best-in-show winner with this body. Good luck. 🤠👍✅❗️
This thing is mint compared to most Mopars, especially here in Ga. A legit A12 car to boot! Fantastic!
That thing is so clean and straight if AMD were still needing cars to reproduce panels from, this would be a prime candidate. Utterly amazing
I have never wanted to do a job in my life so bad, until i met the pressure washer man, that looks like so much fun!
Super Cool Job !!! Metal Cars are way more stronger than the plastic junk they make today.
This is a lot like watching the rug cleaning guys. It's hard to turn it off before you see the end product.
UA-cam Gold.
I had my 34 Ford dipped back in 1980. Smartest thing I ever did. Still driving that little coupe.
That is a super clean Mopar...not an easy thing to find and this one cleaned up great. It being an A12 car makes it that much better as it appears there will be very little metal replacement.
Happy New Year to everybody!
Cleanest mopar I think I’ve ever had in the shop! Thank you! Happy new year!
Buddy of mine had one of those - brand new - same color - 440 6-pack. We used to be out with it, hanging in the shopping mall, racing everybody. It was like 'American Graffiti' movie every weekend. Way too much fun.
That is so damn impressive.
Its hard to believe that chemical baths can achieve this level of paint and rust removal - very well done.
I recon that car has been restored in the recent past that is why it is so clean plus that colour looks like candy apple green👍👍
yep, that green was not offered new.
Самый грамотный подход по подготовке к восстановлению авто, молодцы парни вы красавчики.
Wonder what is costs?
This is such an amazing process, unlike sandblasting you don't have to deal with warped or ruined panels. Watching these videos never gets old.
Это заблуждение, кислота делает не меньше раковин на поверхности
I’m pretty sure that’s not a normal pressure washer and also sounds like a “turbo” tip. Most definitely will damage panels if not done properly, dudes technique was spot on.
But yes in the right hands, way more gentle and clean.✌️
You guys are awesome! Probably the best thing I've ever seen automotive wise.
Probably one of the cleanest I’ve seen for a Chrysler product
I try to find everything not up to par as I watch, so I absolutely enjoy your final walk around. Thank you and Happy New Year!
New high quality steel to replace the pitting spots and voilá a new car is born !
.
👍 Greetz from 🇳🇱
Amazing, this was so interesting! My dad was a car painter and he would have loved watching this ❤
I have to agree. That car looks incredibly solid. My brother brought home an original Bahama Yellow A-12 car in the early 80's. It's out there fully restored now. What a fun car to drive. 4.10's bench seat four speed. Oh those were the days.
Enjoyed this video as much as I enjoy your past videos. You do a great job.
That chemical process is amazing. That car looks brand new. 👍
This is extremely satisfying to watch!
Most gratifying video I've ever watched that procedure must be quite expensive. Sure! Enjoy watching your hard work. Looks awesome!
Thank you! I appreciate that! It’s not as bad as people think 3️⃣1️⃣00 for the whole process
@@minute_of_dangle is that bare frame or thats stripped down to the frame and put back?
Probably spend that in sandpaper or media. anyway very cool
Never seen an original B body with so little rust, gonna be a cool restoration.
Love watching people who are really into doing their work to perfection. The end result of preparing this project for restoration was really impressive. Their customer had to be thrilled.
There's nothing better than a bare metal fresh start.
So satisfying to watch this process!
Cool video - After watching this looks like the best way to restore a car.
that road runner looks stunning, Im sure it will be a show winner when finished
Wow what a car.
Makes me really glad to see that some of the nice cars are appreciated and restored. You know everyone loves these and wants to own a car that like, But owning a car like that has responsibilities for storage, maintenance etc.
The really nice ones need a good home and proper restore.
IF you want a perfect job in the end this IS the way to get that result.......... every seem, nook and cranny spotless.......... PERFECT !
I love work.....I can watch it for hours.
I am amazed at the great condition!
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!! In all of the ones I have seen... with a very few exceptions. Have been absolutely rotted out from underneath. Gives me hope, that when it's time to do my Bird, it may actually fit in the tanks without much headache. Thank you for anotjer awesome video. Happy New Year to you and your family.🙏💜

This was so satisfying to watch. You guys have an amazing job!! Looks lile a lot of fun and satisfaction and not too overly complicated!!
Wow! That shell is in great shape. Most definitely something to work with. Great vid!*****
It's just nice to have so much metal to work with.

Incredible work. Even though I don't have any experience in the field, it's relaxing to see the transformative process.
That is dam satisfying!!
WOW! Beautiful condition super clean. Congrads on a great job too!
This is the nicest classic car ive seen the body is rust free.
I found this quite interesting and informative. Thank you.
Amazing! Thank you for sharing this informative video in chemical dipping of rare classic car. Greetings from Madang, Papua New Guinea!

Happy new year! Thank you!
This was insanely satisfying 😊
Very satisfying vid. Thanks man. 😎
In that Era Dodge Plymouth used some very difficult to strip paint that solution your using is some awesome stuff.
Keep saving those beautiful Roadrunners.
Beautiful work, brother, you did a great job.
Great and satisfy 👏👏👏💪 i really imagine this process with old steel bike frames 🤤
I’ve done quite a few bike frames! They clean up nice
I'm sure the hard work wasn't therapeutic but watching this was.
Absolutely awesome to watch. Beautiful metal.
Bro I just needed an oil/filter change!
LOL nice vid. Very satisfying.
Rm23p2G123917 was my project 30 years ago. Thank you for keeping the meep meep alive!
What a Survivor...That looks amazing...!!!
So satisfying to watch!
Glad you think so! Thanks!
Just even watching this is hyper therapeutic 😁👍
This is what I call a satisfying video!
I’m glad you like it! Thank you!
This vehicle is in the best condition I think you could wish for
Thank you for sharing this and some lucky person will have a very nice roadrunner when it’s done.😎

Not sure how i got here, but I'm glad. I've never seen this process before 🤓👍
Beautiful work well done.
Thank you!
That car was clean even before it was taken apart!
These videos are fascinating!!!
Thank You for sharing this… given your press for time. 😌
😲 wow, body is in great shape!
I can appreciate if whoever clean it do the thorough full job of spraying the car.
This has to be one of the coolest jobs on earth.
My uncle had a Road Runner the same color, he and my father, who had a 64 GTO were in brotherly competition with their choice of cars.
A friend of mine had his A12 Super Bee stolen back in 1970. Both of us have hunted for it, both online and at numerous car shows. It was a hardtop, hemi orange, black interior, bench seat, auto on the column, no vinyl top.
Unbelievable good shape. Wow!!
