Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 вер 2024
- Hello and welcome to my channel! I want to introduce my 1971 Plymouth Barracuda project car. This car requires a complete restoration and I will do my best to document the process in what will be a long series of videos.
In this episode I do a complete disassembly of the car, including cutting it in half! Surprisingly the damage to the car from rust is not as bad as I thought! I can't wait to show you guys more of this build.

Glad to be seeing your channel again, I didn't even know I had been unsubscribed.
Thanks for watching! 😎🤘
For an E-body project, it's in pretty good shape. Looking forward to the next episode.
Not bad at all!
Glad to have you back, this doesn`t look near as bad as the Charger , and a much smaller scale too, lets comence to cutting, glad you have AMD helping, I know you spent a bunch of cash on the Charger.
I picked two of the most expensive cars to build! Oh well… two of the coolest for sure!
Perfect Friday night catch-up after a looooong hard week!

Hell yeah brother! 😎🤘
Key to success: Getting good help!
Absolutely!
Those slotted mags would look great on the Charger!
😎🤘
Hemicuda…awesome!
Im so happy to see you back at it. I watch alot of automotive youtube but your videos are some of the most enjoyable for me. You explain in such simple ways and make it seem easy. It gave me the confidence to start the sheet metal repair on my truck i was afraid of ruining. So far its coming out great! So for that i say thank you.
That’s rad! Thanks for watching! 😎🤘
Awsome Job!!! 👍🏼👍🏼 healing is in the doing 😉!!! Have a nice week end brother 🍺🤝
Thanks for watching!
You're back! Good to see you and your main man back at it!
Thanks brother! 😎🤘
Thank you for your videos. I have a 68 charger that I haven’t started on yet but your videos gave me confidence to be able to handle all the metal work and buy a project.
Hell yeah man! That’s awesome! 😎🤘
Glad to see work begin on the Cuda. I’ve been following the Charger and wondering how it was coming along. Looking forward to seeing the Cuda progress.
Thanks for watching! 😎🤘
I'm very excited for this! Glad to have you back making videos and I hope everything is well with your family. Your videos have encouraged me to do my own body panel work. Thanks for your content!
That’s awesome! Thanks for watching!
So glad to see you back & and I will watch every video as you rebuild the Mopars !
Thanks brother!
I am working on a 73 challenger. You and Carthage classic cars have inspired me to do my own work. Thank you
Awesome man! Thanks for watching!
Every time I see one of these rust bucket resto's I realize how lucky I was with working with California cars. Rust in the top of the foot box...Geeeze Some years ago I did a 70 Barracuda taken from a junk yard .No engine, trans, driveline or interior A piece of cake compared to this mess...Good luck and TY 4sharing
She’s a clean one owner!
Glad to see your back making more videos hope everything is going good for you and your family can’t wait to see the charger get done
Me neither! Thanks for watching! 😎🤘
Great to see you back!!
Thanks brother 😎🤘
Always love the content! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Got my Mopar fix ! Put a real dent in reducing the Cuda to just what you need ! Good job !
Yessir! She’s pretty dang solid! Easy work!
The anticipation has been killing me, having a fully sponsored AMD build is a Real blessing. I have a 70 Cuda and a huge pile of sheet metal waiting to go in, your videos will be very helpful.
I hope we will still see the Charger as it near completion.
Family Fun never gets old.
Absolutely! Thanks for watching! 😎🤘
Always like your videos. You do a great job explaining what you are doing and show in pretty good detail the process. Thanks.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
I look forward to every video... Can´t wait to the next one...
Thanks for watching!
You must love your 2 🚗 doing a great job I enjoy striping cars 🚗 as I was a wrecker most of my time take care
Thanks for watching! 😎🤘
Looking forward to how you go about installing the front framerails. My Cuda is literally folding in half. I’m not afraid to do the work, just have not done framerails before.
Kudos on getting AMD to sponsor you! 😃😎
I’ll show you the easiest way! Stay tuned!
T-Bone, T-Bone.... Jr. G.O.A.T!!!
thanks man
Good going. Got your suspicions confirmed and your fears alleviated with all that investigative disassembly. And with AMD having your back, you're gonna tear through this at twice the speed of the Charger. Enjoying this immensely! Living vicariously through your camera. Keep up the great work and mind your digits, eyes, etc (play safe).

Bad news. Now you need a A-8 motor. lol. It’s gonna be sweet
I have a 426 hemi for her already 😉
@@rustbucketrestos6511 good answer lol. It’s going to be a fun build. I’m looking forward to it.
Thanks! Me too!
This is going to be a great build! Glad to see you back making vids! I look forward to watching this car progress!
Thanks for watching! 😎🤘
I'm really looking forward to this build. The slotted mags look really cool on that car.
Come get em! 😂
Great video bud
Thanks brother!
Great project can’t wait to see more
Thanks for watching!
And so it begins!! Will be watching this series much like the Charger.
Thanks for watching! 😎🤘
excellent job T-BONE
Bet you’re hoping to see that build sheet underneath the seat!
Man, with the amount of mouse nests in the car, I knew chances were slim. I’ll have to look above the glovebox… I’m not hopeful though.
I'm not really into the cudas but for some reason I cant wait to see what you do to it. I really liked how you braced the charger for horse power.... Shalom amigo....
Nice you are starting T-Bone's "Barracuna" This is going to be a nice build. And thank-you for helping me out with the Charger parts.
Hell yeah man! 😎🤘
Here we go boy's
Yessir! 😎🤘
Beautiful boss! Why build one when you can build two. Worman would be proud how fast you got it torn down. Amazing how fast and easy they come apart. Bring on the footage. Thanks
Thanks for watching! 😎🤘
😁😁👍👍
Love this build great work!
Thanks man! 😎🤘
You made a pretty good score with this car. I see in the comments that you are going to be installing a hemi and 6 speed - good choice. I will be watching your progress just like I did with the Charger.
Yessir! Can’t wait!
i cannot wait until the next installment .... keep em rollin.
Thanks brother 😎🤘
awesome video im looking forward to this build and the charger
Me too! 😎🤘
Next level Videos Dave! Don't forget some us viewers have lots of parts stashed. Don't be afraid to mention needs...
Well whatcha got!?
Love it the Cudo looks good for being setting the years it did love how your son has really got the love for it to and how he is learning it’s a love for a dad and son or even a daughter thanks for share friend
I think my daughter is gonna be a gear head too! How did I get so lucky?
I’m the same way two daughter learning to weld along side me I have to say learned a lot watching your channel gotten better now both my daughters helping me on my 1967 Ford Fairlane gt fastback project
Very cool! Thanks for the kind words!
Really great to see cuda teardown, you'll need to check out under your dash where the vent and heater vents come in they rusted out around those and are easy to overlook when they're hidden under the Cowell when I put my new lower firewall in I sealed those vents cuz they're not sealed when they make them like a piece of stovepipe just spot welded over the hole I also added screen underneath the dash over the holes to make sure mice can't get in again before I mounted the heater and vent pipe back in place. I believe this was the downfall of most of these cars losing their front floors and frame rails.
Most definitely!
Love watching your videos haven’t missed one . Keep it up ,love the US chargers and challengers . All the way from Melbourne Victoria Australia
Thanks for watching! 😎🤘
I’ll take any of the old crap you take off I need it badly for my Cuda lol let me know k
Hey man, glad to see you back. Sorry if I missed it but whatever happened to the Pontiac GTO?
I have a 1973 Cuda with a 440 . I wish you could redo mine. Small damage, but can’t find anyone in Louisiana that works on classic cars
Let's do this 💪
😎🤘
Hope you keep the slot mags just dont see them anymore perfict look 71 is the best of the best good luck
It's all just a puzzle held together with spot welds. Don't be afraid to replace what it needs. Always think about making it the best car you can.
100% agree!
What I really wanted to see was how you got the rear-end off those Jack posts.
Haha just tipped em over & let it bounce. No more complicated than it needs to be 😎🤙
looking good! look into if you need the whole rear frames and floor from dynacorn. 6000wt is the code for it . i think its universal for challenger and barracuda. will save u a ton of time.
I’ve been looking at those! Sure would be nice to toss in the entire thing at once!
Well.....I was like number 666. LOL 🤘😈😂
😎🤘
The pedal car on dollies at 1:04 cracked me up! You need to build a mini-rotisserie for it! Are you going to be keeping both of the Mopars when finished? Because I would!
That’s the plan! That is the boys’ 68 gtx pedal car. They are doing all of the body work and paint on it. We’ll be painting it when I paint the Charger later this year
Get a spot welder! Works great for a factory weld look. I used it to when I replaced the cowl on my 69 Dart.
Definitely considering it!
Got it from Harbor Freight
They are nice!
I like the cuda more than the charger that car deserves to get a hellcat power plant
What originally happen to the right front? I don't know if it is because of rust, or a wreck. Doing good work
I’ll discuss this! Thanks! 😎🤘
Great video,I see what you mean on the body,looks you have a car that has really good bone’s,for a restoration.kudos.l know in the end it be as nice as the charger👍👍👍😎😎😎
It may be even better with that 426 hemi tucked neatly under the hood!
I have a ‘71 Challenger in very similar condition but the more Barracudas I see I think I like them better.
I’m partial to the Cudas too!
Your builds are great. I can't wait to see how the Cuda turns out, and I'm glad you're back and things are getting better for you. Do you have a good way to clean out the inside of the frame rails? It's something I've been pondering for a couple of my own projects and could be an idea for content.
You can spray cavity wax or internal frame coating up through the drain holes. I’ll show you guys in a future episode!
@@rustbucketrestos6511 Sounds great. Thank You, I appreciate it.
What are your plans for the slot mags that you have from the cuda?
Come get em!
Growing up have some friends raised on a farm in nebraska where mopar fans they have a cuda that said cop teaser on the back the other brother has a super bee
Awesome! 😎🤘
Great work man! Keep it up and keep t bone at the hard work too! Can you send the charger off for paint while it sitting then underseal when back like graveyard carz do then youll at least have the room to work?
I would but I do all the body & paint myself. Just gotta wait for some warmer temps so I can blast & epoxy the bottom side without pushing it though the snow & ice!
Great to see you guys are doing well!!! Thank you for sharing the great content!!!
Thanks man!
Too bad you couldnt have gotten both of them. I think that having them together could improve the value of both of them..
I missed out on it unfortunately! It was orange & in a lot better shape than mine!
Good to see you back building your cars, I hope all is well with your family! Do you still have the 65 gto project car? I was wondering what happened to it.
I sure do! It’ll be back on the channel this year.
nice intro
Thanks brother! 😎🤘
Do you know if the 70 charge front end match the 70 barracuda like your 71 did?
Great great really cool introduction with countdown timer. Where in the world did you generate the opening. Was it a plugin purchase? Where? Again so cool! Videos always great. Welcome back into the groove. Blessings...
😎🤘
You mention that the 71 Charger has the same frame rails. What about 72,73 or 74? will those work or are they different? Thanks
Just watching utuber budget builds,saw in background 71 satellite,dodge,Plymouth 2dr.hardtop for sale I believe yellow in color.might want to check it out,rebuild,restore,part out .they are in western South Carolina.thought you might be interested.kudos 👍👍👍😎😎😎
You solder the charger?
What engine are you putting in it?
I can't wait to see this car sitting next to each other when they are done. Though question. You may have answered this already and I missed it but what happened to the gto?
It’s still here, just on the shelf for now. Once you get the mopar bug you don’t want to work on anything else! Lol
Hi just was wondering about the rust in side rockers, fire wall , and other places that can't be cleaned up? What do you think of acid dipping or after paint just oil spray those places Thanks Tim from North Canton ,Oh
Great question. Acid dipping followed by a good cavity wax is about the only good way of protecting those areas long term. I’ll do what I can with wax & internal frame coating from Eastwood to protect those areas.
why u not finish the charger first before u start another project
You gotta start watching the videos all the way through! In the last Charger episode I said at the end that I need some warmer temps before rolling the charge outside to blast & epoxy. It’ll be back on the channel in a few weeks.
Where did you get your adjustable jack stands for under your lift
They are Amazon specials. Well worth the investment! I use them all the time when I don’t have an extra set of hands.
You kinda skipped over the windshield removal. Is it just held in with butyl tape?
Tape & sealant. It did not come out in one piece!
What is your idea for a motor and drive train
😎🤘
What happen to the gto?
You’ll see the gto again later this year!
Quick question what did you do with that beautiful Camaro. ?
Someone made me an offer on it that I couldn’t refuse!
I hope it’s not getting a lap top motor. An it stays factory MOPAR colour . 🤞
426 Hemi & it will be Winchester Grey!
After reading the comments I saw where you were putting the 426 in. I don't know your knowledge on these cars, so please don't think i am being a know it all. You will need to change some suspension components to make it work.
Yep! This car will have a full coilover suspension and tubular k frame setup. Should be fun!
I know that you are busy. Been following you for a long time now. Do you plan on going back to the GTO?
At some point this year, yes.
What motor are you going to use?
426 Hemi
What do you have in mind for the engine and tranny?
426 hemi w/ 6 speed pistol grip
When is T-Bone's mustang coming?
Never! 😂🤣
