- Have you ever wanted to see a former NASCAR race car be built for ACTUAL racing with professional guidance and not just someone doing it clickbait shenanigans? This is the place for you! I am building this car to go short track racing in Grand National Super Series! This car is a 2004 Ronnie Hopkins chassis used by Joe Gibbs Racing from 04-07. It was driven by Bobby Labonte, Aric Almirola, Joey Logano (who won Busch East title in 07 with it), and Jeff Anton.

In this video I start from ground zero after finishing the bodywork and figure out how to get the Dodge R5P7 engine mounted in the chassis which was configured for a small block chevy. Iconic NASCAR crew chief Doug Richert helps keep me on track and provides invaluable advice on what I should and should not do!

Sounds good
@Stapleton42 I learned that if you are building hot rod,drag car,or Nascar rules must be followed and nothing fits without modification. Keep up your great work.
Everything I know about cars.I learned from being taught by other people who actually had done it for years or by asking questions and then learning from those questions and then applying what I'd learned by asking
I was actually watching a robbie latent video but then I saw this underneath it in the scroll and said oh I know what i'm doing
18:46 Channel oak still, an American company, still made an America.They're actually owned by.
Snap on
They were about to sell to China and snap on said.Oh no we'll take that
I've been watching NASCAR for 35+ years and learned more about chassis construction in this video than all my prior years. Doug Richert is so awesome for helping you with this. What an amazing person he is!
Thank you Dustin that is great to hear!
Can you imagine if all the old teams had the ability to video their work and document it for future generations. The fact that you are able to take the wealth of knowledge from all of your contacts who built these cars and put it into a video that shows you applying that knowledge is pure gold.
Thank you very much!
It's lookin good Mitchell.
One thing though...
When you're grinding you do realize that's molten metal that comes off the wheel, so if it's flying around and finds it's way to glass or paint, it'll burn it's way in !
Yeah cover up most everything especially Lexan
Yes I cover important things when sparks are flying
I love this video, the technical race car information is fantastic. The fact you have connections to these car building legends is awesome
For us ocd fans, no doubt about it.
Thank you very much!
Great to see you back fabricating. I wish my welds looked were 1/10 as nice as yours. Looking forward to part 2.
Thank you benny!
I Like 94 To 99 Chevrolet Lumina And Monte Carlo NASCAR Winston Cup Series And Winston West Series New Chapter Generation 4 In My Opinion NASCAR History Thanks For Uploading
my dad was an hvac man for 35 years and the stuff he could make from sheetmetal with basic tools in a toolbag like what youre using was absolutly art and watching this reminds me of him as he died in 2020 i need to do some duct work on my tractor to help make it run cooler as well
Thank you so much for your style of video. You explain, not afraid to show mistakes so we all can learn also, and you are genuine. Relief from some of the other content available. Fan from Maryland! SBC CJ7 Swap😊💪
Thank you sir!!
I allways go w/ starting point number 1. Then build around it. That dude is on point.
Great video. You had Dale’s right hand man helping you.
Thanks as always Logan and Stapleton. This car is gonna be amazing. I already can’t wait till the first race
Thank you Jared!
It's gotta be the coolest build series on this platform right now. I can't wait to hear and see it rolling out. Emphasis on "hear"... :D Btw, the livery looks amazing!
Thanks man 💪🏻
Great video Mitch! Doug is the man to assist. Can't wait to hear this bad boy run! And also can't wait to see it over at Ron Hornaday's shop. I followed trucks when Ron was racing. All the pains you are taking here have to help once you get this lined up on the short track and gas it up! I enjoy all your videos but it is great to see you get a chance to work on your projects also. Man you have one of the best channels on CZcams! Keep up the good work!!! Thx!!!
You da man Dave!
This content is awesome. Something different from everyone else. 10/10
This era stock car was Doug's bread and butter, he and Greg Biffle kicked ass in the final years of the twisted sister/COY era. Badass to get someone so knowledgeable of these cars helping you out.
Wow brother, this is cool. Guys like you and my brother Tim, have some serious OCD issues. But the good kind of issues. I have OCD, but in different areas. This is so cool doing something like this. When he built that #22 Bobby Allison Charger Daytona, he stopped counting at 2800 hours. Working months in a row without a break. Working full time and then the Charger every day after work, and 12-14 hours Saturdays and Sundays. But without guys like you and Tim, the history and legacy of these cars and drivers would be lost or even forgotten. Keep on welding, too. Tim has gotten so good at it I'm amazed how beauttiful it is. Keep on Keepin on Mitchell, always good content😊
Thank you George!!
I'll be here with bells on Mitchell. That's the day before Tim's 64th birthday.
Oh dude, not only you got a badass car, but you got Doug too?! You guys are deffo cooking up something awesome! :D
Absolutely! Doug is the man
@@Stapleton42 Indeed, he's the legend!!
holy shit, you somehow fell out of my algorithm a while back and i just randomly had a thought to look you up! Glad you're still doing well and making content, can't wait to see what I have missed.
Thanks Linus! Glad you’re back and plenty to catch up on!
Nice to see that people aren't freaking out about Mopar power, in the "Monte" , lol, since it's just pretending to be a Chevy. Good luck, Mr. Stapleton.
Thank you James. It’s not any worse than the current truck series fords and Toyotas running the Ilmor LS spec engine 😂
@@Stapleton42 hot rodding, *is racing* . My dad was diehard Ford, but had to admit, the SBC spanked the flathead. In my age, the LS is the king of cheap power, but built, boosted Coyote engines are running away with big power numbers. I'm not mad, I love power, in a blue oval, in a bow tie, in a Mopar, I'm in !
At the beginning in my head I was saying go ahead and cut firewall for distributor clearance while you got the motor out then after the edit i saw the engine out and that square hole,i Said this ole boy got some sense. Subscribed
Heck yeah 😂
I hope you received a smoking deal on the Dodge engine, that is a lot of time and trouble to fit that powerplant. Glad you have made some great contacts for help and guidance. Andy Hillenburg had some headlight decals and a bunch of parts in storage. You have some good fabrication skills and need to remember that it is a Racecar and if your really going to race it , bubbles in the wrap is not will not save you from getting tore up. Best of Luck and Skill Always.
I agree there is a time and place to spend the extra effort and also a level to which it’s worth it. At the same time I won’t make my stuff look like crap either 😂
Nice to see the Channel Lock grip pliers in action. That quick release works great and Channel Lock still makes tools in the USA
I agree! Thanks man
Can’t wait for the second video to come out. I love the other videos but these are the videos I’ve been waiting for.
Heck yeah love to hear it!
I worked at Roush racing for the truck team when I was in my early 20’s. Doug was our crew chief the year Carl Edwards won the rookie of the year, I believe 03. Carl and I often talk about those days.
I was about to go outside but i guess I can delay that for a few.
Appreciate it man glad you’re here
It's too humid to go outside. Happy 4th of July, everyone!
@@nunyabinis amen
My late brother and I volunteered helpingAJ Henrickson, Bob and Patty schaçht in arca, Hooters pro cup and Craftsman truck. They are considered some of my dearest friends. Havn not seen them in several years but hope to soon. Enjoy the racing and good luck.
Oh...... And you ever meet Big Lou Sipolt talk to him a little bit. He worked with just about everybody you have made videos about. HE wished me happy birthday the other day and said we were some of the best help they ever had. Pretty cool coming from such a hidden legend.
Thank you Bill! They are all nice people
The race Greg Biffle's fly wheel was hitting the track was the 2003 Southern 500, Terry Labonte's last win. I remember Biffle led like 70 laps towards the end of the race. But his car started bottoming out on track (or the fly wheel) and started to struggle and finished like 9th. I remember TV talking about it as a kid.
Yes! He said darlington that’s gotta be the one
I was out of gas in my mig welder, and was trying to tig a muffler onto a rusty exhaust pipe, honestly the hardest part was the hanger. I thought i cleaned it enough, but i was wrong. Trying to hold it against the pipe, start the arc, and figure out how to somehow add filler wire.....
Yeah you gotta have like 4 hands to tig weld some stuff 😂 I like to use 3M yellow painters tape or aluminum hvac tape to hold things together when I tack them
Good call on the Mark Martin PODCAST, I also ran across the pod Xmas 2020, first found his 96 pod, then I eventually went back to his 1982 and listened to them all in order. Great series. 👍
Absolutely!
This was cool. Loved the history of why they built the car a certain way.
Me too! Fun to learn
Best sounding engine in my opinion, even the older late model Dodge engine sounded better than all of them but that's just my opinion. Glad to get to see you race one of these beautiful cars
I think the R5P7 is probably all around the coolest one. It is the patriarch of the current engine generation
@@Stapleton42 I had a friend of mine who ran the dodge motors in the late models I helped work on until they outlawed them and I 100% could tell distinct difference in sound. Now they all sound the same in my opinion, the dodge engine for the late models was really heavy though
Definitely very cool! Haven't commented in a long minute or two, but still there checking out all your videos. Glad to see you have some great personnel to assist you with this build, and it will be badass when it is finished. Looking forward to the 1st startup of that Dodge engine, and am there with you watching this today, been busy here! Thank you & Logan, & appreciate you both as always, you two rock it every time.
Thank you mark!
All of this stuff reminds me of wadding up a car bad, driving 6+ hours for another chassis/roller, stripping it, rebuilding it with a mash up of our salvaged parts & what was good on the new used chassis, have about 6hrs of sleep over 36 hours, get to the nitty gritty final touches the night before our next race, bring in a guy to help finish the little things, only to take hot laps, go barreling into turn 3 - bury the right front in the wall at 105mph and discover our outside help we brought in the night before cut the left front brake line short and tore it clean off the caliper at 3/4 turn.
The memories of tearing up 15k of chassis' and suspension on consecutive weeks with all the hard work and sleepless days....lol
That sounds terrible. I’ve driven 18 hours for a drag race to break my transmission on the first launch and go home. Sucks 😂
Hey, first of all I want to say I think you're doing a really great job and I like the comment you made about doing your best on the small pieces so that the best is accomplished throughout the build. My name is Gary I live in Northwest Georgia I'm 68 and I'm really proud of what you're doing. I wish I was there being able to do that. In my lifetime I've always been involved in building machines from the aspect of the electrical and control but also I went with the machines out in the field to make them run and in that capacity I was responsible for everything The mechanical the process of the packaging, flow of the product etc etc from point a to point b to out the door. So you had to become a jack of all trades cuz you are the one that is responsible You call back to the shop for help but the troubleshooting diagnosis and the solution was up to you. You be safe and always give God the thanks for we do nothing without the blessings of our Heavenly family.
I was just thinking when you take this out into a race you won't want to get hit which is an understatement but you know it's going to happen, I guess what I'm trying to say is you built this from bottom to top and so you have a lot of time it's like art for understanding I used to play guitar in a rock band and it would be like my favorite guitar getting broke from handling but things happen when you apply the instruments in your case race cars in the environment that you love and then something happens to it. I have a 67 Gibson SG of which one evening my wife come in and told me not to get mad and I said what are you talking about she says Gary being my son got his foot hung up in the guitar cable and pulled the guitar off the stand and busted the neck at the headstock. As you can imagine I was sick but I kept my cool, and also my son he felt so bad so bad, but we got it fixed up and always good and an experience where we are tested we all came through and everything was okay.
I love your historical view because the information the veterans have is priceless. I enjoy your show and I don't have the money to contribute as you can imagine being on a fixed income and trying to live in today's chaotic society it makes it tough. The most important part is to have peace, and to love your brothers and sisters in your journey through life. Godspeed my friend, stay safe, be aware, or as they say keep your head on a swivel and watch your six. This is my first comment on any CZcams show. Many blessings to you and yours, GWC
Thank you very much! I’m prepared for body damage it’s unavoidable at some point. Just part of the game!
Nice work. Been there, done that on my Corvair road race car. As an old draftsman making templates was not a problem. Learned a lot and proud to say I built it myself.
You do nice work. Hope to see you race it. Keep everyone updated on what tracks you will race at.
Grand National Super Series. I’ll be at a couple races near the end of their season this year and run hopefully full time next year
Hey man - I’ve only just now watched this and I appreciate you taking us along for the journey. A current goal of mine is something similar but optimally a Gen 3 Lumina.
So I think we may share some of the same tendencies toward wanting to do things right and, like with that cutout Logan was grinding on, a tendency not to move until something is fully understood and a plan has been thought through. I’d never say this is something negative, since it is based on values and literal work ethics. That sort of commitment is tangible in the work you create for your channel.
But a bit of wisdom that has served me well, especially when trying to balance perfection with production, is something called the Pareto Principle: It holds that 80% of a task takes 20% of the time to do it, while the remaining 20% to do the task “perfectly” requires 80% of the time. During the early years of NASA, the idea was paraphrased as something like “perfect is the enemy of good.” In practice, this principle can help to balance when “good enough” is sufficient or when perfection is necessary, that five “good enough’s” can be had for the time it takes for one “perfect.”
Keep it up, man. Just about to watch the next part which just dropped!
Thanks man! Finding that balance and adjusting that balance relative to the given task sure is an art form in itself 😂
@@Stapleton42 - Totally. In fact, I think the history of Stock Car racing can be framed around the nature of that balance, something your videos often flesh-out. Like how did Robert Gee do so much out of his little garage in contrast to institutions like the Petty’s. How could Alan Kulwiki achieve his successes when racing against the Hendrick teams, Junior Johnson, and just ruling over teams like Bahari with their huge facilities. The careers of racers like Jimmy Means or Dave Marcis, even Ralph Earnhardt or Dale Sr. and Childress in the 80’s are so important to examine because of the decision making required, balancing compromise with the drive for victory in teams who didn’t always have “the best equipment,” as they say. Your tour around Robert Gee’s shop really opened my eyes, thinking how many of those Levi Garrett #5 cars came out of a garage/shop smaller than my own.
I think that kind of environment and struggle is what made people so interested in NASCAR in the day, seeing these scrappy teams go up against the Petty’s, Holman-Moody, or Junior. Smarts and attention to detail, along with some “innovation,” could win the day and people felt so much closer to all of that, as opposed to the monoliths that are the Hendrick’s or Penske’s today. It’s hard to relate to modern teams with 100,000ft2 shops and 22 year-old drivers.
get some short tig weld back caps and bend some of your short tungstens. Nice work and maybe surprise call Doug with some thankyous for all the advice!
Yeah I need short caps. This Fronius torch uses some goofy stuff that’s not interchangeable with other things
@@Stapleton42 You and that Fronius looking great melting steel with fire...or elec fire? I never heard of bending the tungstens til 'bout a month ago....trick stuff!
Great video! Thanks Mitchell for sharing your build. It's good to see it coming together. Definitely get yourself a shrinker/stretcher, they make it a lot easier.
I’ll get all the proper fabrication equipment and machinery once we own our own shop and I know I won’t have to move anything for a long time 😂
can’t wait to see the live, love you and love your content my brother 👏🏼
Thanks mohamed 💪🏻
Thanks for your taking the time to show your mockup process on the ductwork. This video revealed a lot about car set up for rain road or track. You gonna let Logan drive it? Race on 42.
Thank you! It’s going to be set up for short track racing. I don’t know if Logan will be able to reach the pedals or see over the dash with my seat in there. It’s on the ground 😂
i miss watching you fabricate but you and i know what pays the bills around there. thank you for sharing
Hell Yeah Brother! Love to see some of this again,. Still enjoying the History but this is a nice change of pace.
I really enjoyed that. Doug is a super cool guy and you have a bad ass race car in the making.
Thank you Scott!
Wow, you really have put a lot of work into that car. I am so happy to see some of the experts taking the time to come over and see how you are doing. That speaks volumes about the class of people involved in racing.
Thank you Larry I agree. Some good people out there
You have a one in a million engineer there!! You're a very fortunate racer.
Thank you sir Elmer 💪🏻
Good job Mitchell! Not a mechanical guy but watched the whole video. Like how you show how much of this you are doing by yourself. Shows how determined you are to make this happen!
Good luck! Keep up the great work!
Thank you Pete!
@@Stapleton42 you're welcome!
You’re doing a lot of the work “old school style”, And that’s o.k. Not many people around today that have that skill , everything prefabricated and bolt on .
Looking real good , look forward to the next steps !!
I appreciate that!
@@Stapleton42. Have a great 4th !
What an awesome video!! I learned a lot in this video, but I think the most important thing I learned was that the relationships you've made doing your videos are priceless!! The legends of the sport willing to help you is awesone!! I can hardly wait for parts 2 & 3! Thanks!! Hope you & Logan have an amazing 4th of July! 🎆🇺🇸🇺🇸🎆
Thank you Kerry! None of that was an accident 🤷🏻♂️
Treat every piece like the most important piece...great perspective! Thx for that...👍
Thank you Joe!
I always thought Tig welding was an art form.. I used to brazing weld back in the 80’s then went on to a pulse welder which is similar to mig welding I guess.. love the channel
Thank you Andy!
Your attention to detail is impressive. I've gone to the Grand National Super Series website as well as their CZcams channel to learn more about the series and to see some of their cars racing.
Thank you!
sometimes you teach a person to weld and they end up being really good, its an art.
That’s what happened to me. I had a good teacher and a natural ability to understand it easily
Been waiting for this video for a while! Can’t wait to see the video where you drive and race it! Great video Mitch!
Thank you!
Car handling is everything in racing and weight, geometry, tires and track surface all play a role in that. Getting it built to suite what you want to do with it is going to pay off.
I agree! Always worth the extra effort
Learning by doing, even if I have to do it over, is my concept of gaining knowledge.Hope you don`t rear end someone too bad and wreck all your duct work.Keep all your patterns.
Cars looking good.
Neat to see the build.
And taking it to track heck ya!
Oh hell yeah. Need popcorn for this one!!
🇺🇸
The car is coming along nicely. I can't wait to see you racing.
You and me both! Thanks man
Crazy I had started watching your videos 4-5 months before you got this car. You bought the car two towns over from me in western mass from Jeff. Funny thing he had a decal business and did dirtbike graphics for multiple friends of mine so when i watched the video when you bought it I couldn’t believe it. Also on your extra channel on your way home you stopped and filmed a little segment of your pickup and the race car on the trailer with the noble & coley drum factory in the background in Granville Mass, which is about 10 min from my house. It was wild to me that I had started following the channel and you end up buying the car so close to where I live from someone who I knew of and friends know personally. Sorry for the long explanation but keep up on the awesome videos!!
Wow that’s a small world! I want to go inside that drum factory!!
Having Dales old crew chief advising sure does make the job easier! Can’t wait to see it run. Keep up the good work Mitch
Thank you sir 💪🏻
Thanks for this awesome video. I'm looking forward to hearing this bad ass car run . I hope you win a lot of races with this car. This car is awesome
Thank you Harry!
Super great show very informative. Enjoy watching your content every time you put it out. You both have such great influence on people being able to do things you are both wonderful. God bless you both and please stay safe 🙏👍👍👍👍
Thank you Steve!
Your welds look strong and well done and sheet metal fab takes time to get the hang of and what you are doing looks strong and good fitting and that s what works over all very good quality work.
Thanks Jim 👍
Damit man droppin dimes like u nvr took a break congrates to both of ya & HAPPY 4TH Stay safe out there yup radious rule no tumblina fer sure & u get mucho grande resultos. How Kool to have Doug come by and share his thoughts freakin wat world r u in right now WOW.
Thanks man!!
Pretty cool to have a cup crew chief helping you with this, nice work!!!
Thank you Brad!
I’m really enjoying your build. Thanks for all the great content. Cheers.
Glad you enjoy it!
I can't wait to see this car on the track! Keep up the amazing content!!!
Thanks James!
Mitchell, first I want to say thanks for all the Vintage NASCAR content you put out, it has reawakened my interest and has me looking at buying a car of my own. Second: some friendly advice. Wear some gloves and a faceshield when using the cutoff wheel. You can only get lucky so many times. Also, I'd wear some cotton pants, not nylon shorts, I know it's hot, but melting plastic on your skin is hotter. Third: don't be afraid to pick up that MIG and squeeze the trigger. If you can Tig, you can Mig. Some of those weird angles are way easier to weld that way. (I'm 48 and have done this kind of work for over 20 years, still have all my fingers and toes and eyes but made many mistakes along the way. Remember safety gear is way cheaper than a hospital visit. Keep up the good work, we are all rooting for ya!
I don’t throw sparks at myself when wearing things that’ll melt. I’ve melted pants before 😂 if it’s more than cutting a thing or two quick I wear jeans
Doug's one of the best worked with him at gibbs old bush shop . nice job Mitchell
What year?
Been waiting on this one forever! Killer bro, this was one of my favorite body styles post-90’s. Stay around the Carolinas, plenty of grassroots ovals around! 🤘
Thank you Bryce!
Mitchell, brother it looks so dang good and you really crammed that R5P7 in there!
Thank you Dave!
Thanks for sharing the progress on this car. Can't wait for Part 2 to hear it come to life, and am very much looking forward to seeing you race it! Hope you and Logan (and Shelby!) are having a good 4th of July!
Thank you Steve!
Worked with Doug back in 2019 at MBM, glad to see he's doing okay. Can't wait to see the finished product of your #42 car Mitchell
Thank you Colby!
This was interesting to watch! I've been so caught up in the history videos I forgot you could fabricate, lol.
You and me both! 😂 It feels good to use my hands and brain to make things again
Really fun watching you fabricate and learn as you go. It was also nice meeting you at The Racing Experience at Charlotte Motor Speedway on 9 Jun 24. I was the guy in the back of briefing room at 1:00pm. Cool to see someone so passionate about racing and Stock Cars!
Thank you James!
Never knew they raised the engines for wind clearance underneath.. ha. Those guys were wild in the day.
They did a lot of wild stuff!
i didnt think we would ever see this one, nice to see you doing some more build vids...been here since 13k subs and been missing it
It’s been in the making for a while! I posted the first couple videos about the car last summer
@@Stapleton42 yup i watched them too, it had been so long and so close to season opening so i thought it was put to the side
Car is coming along great Mitchell I am so excited for you!
You and me both! Thanks Jason
So cool to see you working on projects again. Can't wait to see the next video.
You and me both! Thanks Jeramy
Always look forward to your posts. Car is looking great keep up the great work
Thank you gordon we will!
love the burt Reynolds hair cut at the end
This video was filmed over such a long period of time time I lost 10 lbs had long hair got a haircut and grew it out again 😂
Nice work Mitchell. Keep it going. Great to see progress.
Thanks man!
doug Richert on speed dial, he is in good hands.
This is the only thing that brought me joy as I sit in the heat waiting for fireworks later. Ok, that and watching drunk people haha. Great video as usual, Mitch and Happy 4th to both of you!
Thanks man!!
mid 90s to the mid 2000 was at Gibbs in the old diamond ridge shop for 5years that's when I worked with Doug
Hell yeah Mitchell! Can't wait for the next one!
Thank you Robert!
This is gonna be an Awesome series . Can't wait for more. Thanks guys! Best video's on CZcams.
Thank you very much!
I'm really loving this. I'm excited to see you take this car all the way. Keep up the great work 💪
Thank you!
A safety tip unplug the grinder or saw when changing wheel or blade. I knew the circular saw cut would work. Nice job I really enjoy everyone of your videos so cool. Brian from Colorado
Good tip!
@@Stapleton42 Man Mitchell your car is looking pretty tight my friend I appreciate you showing us all your hard work and getting it done with what you have. Very happy and excited that you get to go race your a great guy that we all love. Thanks much Brian
@@beberle9641 Thank you Brian!
Hell yes, ive been waiting for this video forever!
Hey, on another note. i bought a boomtube setup from a roushe racing car/truck not sure. love to email you a picture to help id what it might have came from.
Yesss I've been waiting so long for this! This is so interesting to see come together!
Heck yeah!
If you have Dale’s crew chief telling you what to do you just do it, damn I’m so jealous right now
I won't let you down!
Told you to use a ball peen hammer to lower the floor too lol
Great video, can't wait for the next installment. I'm pretty damn sure I've learned something from every one of your videos I've watched.
Thank you!
Thanks mark that’s what we hope for!
Great idea w the blocks
Dude this is super cool. You’re building a race car with cool and knowledgeable people.
Thank you David!
after 25 years as a Mig Welder retired it's easy to weld
This seems like the perfect fit for you.
Feels like it too
Yesss finally. I have been waiting for this/ these sets of videos
We are glad you’re here and appreciate your patience 😂
