    HUGE thank you to our sponsors for today's video. We tackle EFI with an all new fuel system, a new aluminum radiator, and add one of the best batteries in the business! Will it run at the end of the video? Stick around to the end to find out!

    Had a couple comments with the word “sellout” because of promoting products in my video. These videos are totally different than the regular revival videos. My intentions in a build series like this are to put together the best car I can and be entertaining for you guys. Yes, I do have sponsors, but I only work with companies I truly enjoy and stand behind. I get to build these cars with the help of you the viewer and these great companies, so please know that just because I have a sponsor’s help does not mean I’m a sellout. That’s an unfair comparison. For everyone else, thank you for your continued support!

    • @ThisSmallVic
      @ThisSmallVic Před měsícem +18

      Definitely not. A mans gotta eat and having money towards more cars for the channel is great. As long as each build isnt a full 100k build and you do sponsors for companys you back. Nothing wrong with it. Its great to come home and see something more reasonable on youtube and get motivated to do something. Thank you Dylan for your hard work.

      It seems those comments hit a nerve.I found the video a little bit commercial but not annoying.If you use the products you are endorsing and truly believe they are as good as you say they are then by all means continue to endorse them.

    • @Lauterec

      No worries Dylan, everyone should know a sponsor spot is just what it takes to keep the videos coming. It's definitely a bonus that the sponsors you promote have good products.

    It's so nice to see CZcamsrs supporting and promoting each other. I also like that you're gradually going back and fixing the cars up. Not just "oh look I got it running, now I'll let it sit and rot away some more". Keep up the good work and don't let a few ugly comments from jealous trolls get you down.

    Not only are you really good at fixing vehicles,you’re also pretty damn smart for a young man as well. You have your priorities right and you have already completed 2 out of the three rules for rehabbing a vehicle. # 1 was you actually obtained a decent freaking ‘69 Charger! # 2 you are spending the time to get her running and driving to make it reliable. Last but not least # 3. You know that you can make her look pretty and get the interior completed after you had it in tip top shape mechanically speaking. I would much rather drive her around for awhile with the whole car in primer on the outside then have a Charger that was pristine paint and body that had mechanical gremlins and ran and drove like absolute trash!

    This brings back memories of my '69 Dodge Charger R/T. I had to install a fuel tank in it and it wasn't that bad. The only issue I had was getting the new fuel filler inlet grommet in place and then getting the fuel filler pipe to go in the tank. I used a little bit of silicone grease around the grommet and the filler pipe slid right in no problem. I really miss my Charger! Best car I ever owned and I was only the third owner of it. It was Sunrise Yellow with the 727 Torqueflite and 440 with factory A/C.

It was already a heck of a beast of a truck before and now it's a monster. Throttle response is immediate, it runs so clean and smooth and feels like it gained 60-70hp. It's a blast to drive

    Very nice engine setup!!! Modern tech adapted to a already great engine is a no brainer. Good work! Very nice and clean engine compartment. Look forward to seeing the rest of the build unfold. A clean and well restored original dash, gauge cluster and related will be a very good interior restore. Your fascination with good working windows was great!!! Looking forward to a quality original paint job. Go with time period proper after market 5 spoke Crager rims and some nice era correct large rear tires coupled with smaller front tires. Firestone or Good/Year tires might work. Hope you get a professional paint job done on it. And retore the rear brake lights as well. Then you will have a proper Charger.
