That steering wheel is worth some money! And you have all the parts for it too! Just swap the "Chevette" center for a "Bowtie" and clean it up! I've sold a lot of those wheels at the Rod Run in Pigeon Forge. Pull that engine out and put in a Small Block! Thanks for the great video! Your Son done great too!

I think you're right. I never heard anyone say something bad about a chevette!
@Tealmoney85712 ай бұрын
@Backroadjunk I think it would be cool to see that one back on the road. It looks like it had low mileage when it was parked.

Motor turned over fast maybe to many amps on that big battery 😅
@Backroadjunk2 ай бұрын
That battery was half dead.
@auaiao92 ай бұрын
I can't figure out why the ether caused the engine to turn over super fast.
@Backroadjunk2 ай бұрын
Someone said it had low compression. I don't know.
@SammyKurts-ku2htАй бұрын
That battery is twice maybe 3 times to big for that little motor ! That’s why it’s spinning like there’s 24 volts running through it ! ⚡️

Thats painful to watch. Applying brute force to everything. Plundering viking style. No proper tools. 6 pounder sledge hammer, chisel, brutely pulling everything, while the other feller armed with crowbar and hammer taking out entrails. Not mindful that those parts may hard to find in the future. come on brothers. Forcing the old engine to drink without cleaning the lines and holes.
