In this video we take a 1969 Charger that had been a movie stunt car and was recently used in the movie The Man From Toronto Starring Kevin Hart and Woody Harrelson. Often stunt cars like these get used and abused until the point where they are only good for one last crash or explosion scene... but we couldn't let that happen. So it would seem that we either hate having money, or are just a glutton for punishment. This is going to be a huge undertaking, but we are up for the job. Due to the amount of time and money this will take, we won't be able to focus on this car alone. We will have to bring in other projects while we save up and while we collect everything it needs. but we will try to keep the charger videos coming as often as we can. In this video we offer up a little tour of the car and show what state its currently in. We get started cutting and removing the floor so we can reinforce the inner structure and put in a new floor pan. The car did have a square tube rear frame reconstructed before we got our hands on it. When we first got the car, Cam welded in a trunk floor and carried that through to the back seat area, just to keep everything square and from falling apart when we need to push it around. This isn't going to be a full restoration to try and keep the car as factory as possible. We'd love to be able to do that, but this car was beyond that point. We will however take the opportunity make a few changes and upgrades without feeling guilty that we are butchering a clean car. We are going to be on a tight budget on this one so any help from viewers with leads on parts, tips, or affordable aftermarket options would be super appreciated. We hope you join us and follow along as we try and bring this car back from the brink!


We have another video coming out next week so keep an eye out for that! Uploads every Friday!
