Ep 2. Rallye Red Restored

In Graveyard Carz season 5 episode 2, titled "Rallye Red Restored," the crew at Graveyard Carz takes on the task of restoring a rare 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T in Rallye Red. The car was originally purchased by a wealthy family who used it as a daily driver before selling it to a car dealership where it was then left to rot in a field for years.

Mark Worman, the owner of Graveyard Carz, and his team start by assessing the car's condition and planning out the restoration process. They quickly realize that the car is in much worse condition than they initially thought, with extensive rust damage throughout the body and frame. Despite the grim situation, the team is determined to bring the car back to life and restore it to its former glory.

The first step in the restoration process involves stripping the car down to its bare frame. This allows the team to see all of the damage and determine which parts need to be replaced. The team also discovers that many of the parts on the car are not original, which presents a challenge in finding the correct parts to complete the restoration.

As the team begins to rebuild the car, they encounter various problems that require creative solutions. For example, they discover that the factory roof had been replaced at some point with a vinyl roof. The team decides to remove the vinyl and attempt to repair the original roof panel rather than replace it entirely.

Another challenge arises when the team realizes that the car's VIN plate is missing. Without this plate, the car cannot be legally registered for road use. The team must find a way to recreate the plate using the original information and a special tool designed for this purpose.

Throughout the episode, the team works tirelessly to restore the car to its original condition. They sand, weld, and paint the body, rebuild the engine, and install all of the interior components. The team is meticulous in their work, paying close attention to every detail to ensure that the car is as close to factory spec as possible.

In the end, the car is finally finished, and the team takes it out for a test drive. The car runs beautifully, and everyone is thrilled with how it turned out. Mark and his team are proud to have rescued another rare muscle car from the brink of extinction, and the customer is ecstatic to have their beloved car restored to its former glory.
