What started as a dream project quickly turns into a cautionary tale of “buyer beware.” As Jared dives into the restoration process, he uncovers a series of surprises left behind by the car’s previous owner. What should have been a straightforward restoration turns out to be riddled with substandard repairs and questionable modifications. The discovery of rust patches hidden under fresh paint, mismatched parts, and shoddy workmanship threatens to turn this dream car into a full-blown nightmare.

Join Jared as he meticulously inspects every inch of the car, identifying the problems and sharing valuable insights into what to look out for when purchasing a classic car.

  1. Looking forward to the restoration of this satellite, try not to get discouraged because, #1, The More Work You Have to Do The More Videos you Have For YouTube, #2, Once You Are Done, you Will Know It Has Been Done Correctly And You Will Be Able to Enjoy It Even More without thinking What If!

  2. Hi Jared! I know how you feel man. I just picked up a dream car of mine and bought it without looking it over properly. Now I’m left with a project way bigger than I wanted. I’m too far in now to stop so I just keep picturing the end goal

  3. I remember making kub kars in the 90's in scouting and I don't recall any of us wearing masks when they melted the lead slugs to properly weight the cars….

    Looks like the Ronald McDonald comb is about $5 on ebay, they must have made a lot of them

  4. Hi Jared, this is just something that came to mind watching you going true the painstaking process of removing all the rust off this project. I could not help feeling sorry for you. Here in Australia, you can take car bodies to places to have them chemically stripped. The advantage of this is the complete removal of rust, even in places you can not reach in conventional ways. When they are done, they apply a light primer to stop new rust from appearing while you work on the restoration. Do they have this sort of thing in the states? Love your channel, mate. Take care

  5. Jared, I think the biggest problem for you (and me!) is not really liking body work, and I really never had the right tools to do it either. Take it to a shell you feel strong enough to build into your car, your way. When it looks like you think it ought to get painted, do that. And build the baddest semi stock Plymouth, not a Road Runner! Earl Leaker was a total pain- but mostly mechanical and you swam through that. This will be just the same with a tetanus booster!

  6. ​@TheQuestionableGarage jarad if this is your dream car do it all because you will be regret free when its done. Its not that much extra work compared to putting it back together 95% of the way you really want.

  7. Jared, where I come from this would be called a "Rust Free" car. Don't get discouraged, just fab and patch the small spots and move on to the major replacement panels. You are an amazing technician that deserves this dream ride. Turing this car into a rich mans trailer queen would be sad as absolute perfection is the killer of enjoyment. Cheers from Winnipeg MB, Canada.

  8. Hope that you don’t quit,you don’t sound like a quitter and your saving a Mopar ,what’s better then that
    Definetely looking forward to more Episodes,there’s a guy I’ve seen with a 70 Roadrunner that he believes and I agree that’s painted Original Petty blue but I haven’t seen anymore Videos of it,so don’t let me down
    Doing a 70 Charger my favorite that’s in worse condition than yours

  9. For a project car these days you are starting with a very good car. I am trying to find a c-10 to build for my grand daughter and everyone I have found you can’t even call a truck anymore do to the lack of it. Can’t wait to go on this rebuild Journey with you. Much love.

  10. Jared, Great work. I would tidy up and make good before building. Those wheel tubs are not too bad, but weld in some fabbed panels.
    It is just a few bits around the edges, dont worry. I do lots of this stuff.
    Now you have access it will be relatively easy and you wont lose the geometry.
    You can really get to everything now and those repairs look quite easy.
    Save yourself a fortune. Once it is all sealed and painted with the outer panels on it will be just strong and fine. It will be much quicker just to deal with what you have too.

  11. Having watched Yorkshire Car Restorations, I was impressed to see you take on a year long project to create a family heirloom you will never sell. For this once in a lifetime project, you need to go all the way. You will learn so much on this job, and I hope you share your hard won knowledge with all of us. Good luck, you can do it.
