The Appalachian Channel with John Ward

Күн бұрын

At 84 years old, Waynnie is a man who has spent decades amassing an extensive collection of various items. Whether it's classic cars, vintage tractors, or unique farm artifacts, he cherishes the world he has meticulously built around himself. After the first video that I uploaded reached 1 million views in just 20 days, I realized I had to continue documenting his simple but fascinating life. People love his soft-spoken, easy-going lifestyle, living the Simple Life in North Carolina. He has been flat-foot dancing for 60 years and says he is still trying to learn how. He has lived on the same farm for 83 years and has owned the same 1955 Chevy Bel-Air that his dad bought new since 1957. 68 years later, he still takes the Bel-Air out for a drive a few times a year. Waynnie is one of a kind, and I look forward to documenting his journey and adventures for many years to come.

First Video I made with Waynnie is at the link below

Filmed on location on Waynnie Farm on July 8th, 2024.

Waynnie moves around good for his age. Bending over and then got right down on the ground, impressive! Thanks John, you're a good man!

@oldguyBMX Ай бұрын

Wayne looks like he's enjoying getting the car out! He's working like he's 30! It's sad that the car can be restored and give service & make smiles for another 50 year. But Wayne is getting up there & there's NO going back for him. God bless you John and may the Lord bless Wayne with many more year's. 🙏 ❤

“I could have used a pressure washer, which is the fastest way to clean, but I chose to wash the car by hand to avoid damaging it. The car has been sitting for 35 years, and I wanted to be more careful and avoid blowing out the old rubber seals or damaging the paint.”I guess you didn't watch the video where I talk about owning a used car lot and cleaning thousands of cars. The brushes were washed and the car was rinsed completely with only water, then wiped off by hand while checking for grit. Thanks for the comment.

Mine was a 1964 Impala OG 283 with a Power Glide. When I was 15 I had saved up $857 dollars and a friend told me he saw a Red 64 Impala in the ally of three hundred block of 17th Ave in Longview Washington. My grandpa and I went to go look at it. We couldn't find it where my friend said so we kept searching up and down every ally from the two hundred block all the way to the 500 block. Found a Blue 64 guy didn't really want to sell it but I would take no for an answer or he saw how Bad I Really wanted it so he says well the lowest I would let it go for is a Grand... Like I said earlier I had $857.00 that I had saved up... He said sorry man. I can't go lower than a Grand!!! I was Super Bummed! Seeing this my Beloved Ol Paw Said I'll pay the difference if you can take a check! The Deal was Done and This Story goes along with Sooo Many Wonderful Memories of My Amazing Perfect Amazing Grandfather!!! I Miss You Sooo Much Paw! Thank You For Making My Dreams Come True. Love Always Your LiL Helper!

@dopii3115 27 күн бұрын

great video! Just a little suggestion, never use dish washing detergent on auto paint. Good auto washing liquid will remove the dirt. to remove the discoloration, rubbing and polishing compound will reserve the paint's integrity. then finish off with a good sealer and wax. reserve the paint the most you can short of painting. Dish soap will degrade the paint more than letting it go. just a little I have learned through the years from auto painting.

@theappalachianchannel 27 күн бұрын

Dont dishwashing liquid is the mildest detergent you can find they wash all of animals with it. I’ve been using it for about 50 years never seen it deteriorate paint.

As a kid I owned a 1967 Impala SS, yellow with black vinyl top and black vinyl interior. It had a 327 probably 275 or 300 hp, prior owner had installed a Turbo 400 trans. I hated the sloped back and taillights. Ugliest car I've ever owned. Spun out and wrapped it around a telephone pole, a slotted mag wheel had broken out. My next car was a 1966 Chevelle SS with the 396, previously painted a Beetle Bug burnt orange color..
