Found this Cuda resto on Youtube, looks like an OK project in the first video, turns out to be a rust bucket and the guy ends up replacing most of the car, very interesting if you like bodywork, video in 35 parts.

I watched all of those, it was amazing how the car looked pretty nice as a driver at first then when it was torn down all the issues! I got a lot of ideas from this series.

That's an oopsie project.

Oops you shouldn't have bought it. Funny how he kept calling the front frame rail a crossmember.

I just can't believe that someone would do all that work, with new rockers and all, and just put them on top of the old rusty ones... And the inner fenders, 3 layers of steel and then massive bondo. ....and I'm just on part 12.

Oh! I quit on episode 3, it seemed like the guy didn't really know what he was doing.

He is not a Mopar guy, obviously his first Mopar, he kept calling it a Dodge :)
But he does good bodywork, Ep16, most of the body looks like new.

Wow.  Made it to part 16, skipped mostly through each video.  If my car is anything like that one I will cry and be tempted to give up.

Having lived a nightmare like that described, I couldn't go through it again so soon. I can feel for the guy, though.  :console:
