AWESOME TO HEAR your dad praying over the BEL AIR restart JESUS IS THE REASON FOR EVERY THING

High sleeper dude and family, I have to say the real treasure in this video is you spending time with your dad getting the old gal up and running again what a sweet car a 66 2-door wow. I can remember when I was about 14 years old driving one of the first Mazda pickup trucks with my dad on the passenger side we were at the horse ranch and he said I'm just too tired to drive home go ahead son nobody will bother you you're a big kid and you really look old enough to be driving. He would only do this if he was on the passenger side and I think it was his way of giving me some time behind the wheel an actual road conditions with other drivers. But he wouldn't tell me that he would just say he was tired hell I don't know maybe he was he always worked hard and he was quite old by the time I was 14 he was 74 and still kicking it he lived till he was 98 years Young and I wished he would have made a hundred can you believe the things that he had seen in his lifetime. I am so glad that you still have your father around I still see my father in my dreams every once in awhile and him shaking his finger at me correcting me when I was wrong. If I would have listened to all the stuff that my dad tried to teach me I probably wouldn't went down the road that I did although I wouldn't change a thing! Many blessings to you and your entire family as always your friend Joe

Need to see more of DAD, and more of his cars in the near future. Your Dad is funny.

Hearing Ralphie actually through out real trouble shooting information, and have such a strong understanding it truly awesome. He has as much or more knowledge than I did at 19 after working on my pos cars. Plus helping others with theirs.

Awesome! 3 generations working on that Chevy. True family history. Love it

Keep your dad in the videos! That guy is great!

You gyes, are a treasure. Thank you for being part of U Tube. I am retired Airplane Areo Repair/Crash Recovery and cannot do mechanical anymore. Now your videos help me to enjoy... just keep it up! 😊

I would definitely like to see you get some more of your Dad's cars running. I saw several cool old cars and trucks in the background

20:04 Now mom's got the jokes! Love the video Sleeperdude's and Sleeperdudett's!

Heck yeah I wanna see some 'o' your Dad's other vehicles, 'specially that truck you were pointing out!

YES!!!! DAD'S GOT THE BIG BRASS ONES AND PRAYS LIKE A MAN!!! AWESOME!!!

The Apple don’t fall from the tree! Your dad has about as many cars sitting around as you do.. Awesome seeing you and dad working on the cars together…..just great! Hope to see this in 20 more years 👍

Oh wow a straight 6 Belair them have gotten hard to find now very cool. Keep this a 6 and 3 on the tree 👍

this tugged at a guys heart strings a little different than most... it being your drivers test car... seeing you and dad and ralphie .... 3 generations working on a special car... priceless.. as a feller with no family to a feller with a really precious family.. thank you for sharing such special moments with us..

It’s a good day when 3 generations can wrench on the same car at the same time. Good times. You are a blessed man.

Thanks! Josh and family of a whole bunch., to date, as I watch ever one of these... a huge thank you. That is exactly the car I could buy for my wife, just before they shipped me to Vietnam. While I was gone, my brother in law put a 283 in the car for her so she could go faster longer. I was in washington state (my wife) and of course uncle sam sent me on a great great trip across the world. Her brother who put that bigger engine in the car lived in Lincoln Kansas. I don't think I spelled that town name right but sounded like a president name cept different. He made it into a tail dragger and I just wanted it to stay safe... for a girl, not so much as she would spin out and that car would rip on its undersides. After three years of me gone... she done as much damage as one could expect... we were both just twenty when I got home to her and a baby boy... accidents happen (she told me while I was over there) and I just wanted her safe.. I never messed around an guys laughed at me for not "getting any"... One fellow was so damn brave and also a corporal so he went so far as to do something much nastier... that little accident to his face and my fist sent him home with a dishonorable discharge. I lost my only stripe but I didn't really care... my Sergeant that we all hung with .... said just hang a bit.. sure enough he got me some fancy crap to hang on my "blouse" (army name for a shirt) and a week later a medal of accommodation which got me a significant pay grade raise... they don't pay much for the guys who are just target practice material. This is getting too far from the car... I got home to a car that had canvas water bags hanging off of the grill that was banged up an thought about just send it to the crusher but I headed home to washington to my house figuring no one would be there... and thats where the wife, a year old boy, and her car was. It didn't take long for me to fall in love with that boy and he took to me as well, he would go as fast as his little knees would take him to me. I bought me a new mercury cyclone with the 390 and four speed, .... you know, all the good stuff. I finally flipped a quarter heads it goes to the crusher or tails I build it back.... I flipped that quarter three times an it kept coming up tails so I built it back to a new six cylinder with three on the tree an this time a overdrive. Ever piece under it was fixed or replaced.... I got the body redone myself... whistle straight. new interior... baby blue outside an the top was white with a all white leather interior including headliner that was diamond tuck. After that car was as close to new looking... even the glass was a light blue tint, I did etch the glass an put a eagle in the back window. (I was a fair artist) I got tired of coming home from work to a cold meal if anything was there and she would be gone... she thought I was a freak... just six foot tall, two forty, a size thirty two waistline so I wasn't fat, just big... I had to wear those wife beater tees as the back kept ripping out. I agreed to her demands, but asked for a time each year with my boy. Thats when she had to show me my sons birth certificate... his last name was her maiden name on it so the judge said no. I never seen nor heard from them till my son came to see me when he was nineteen. He was loyal to his mom... who he showed me a picture of... seems like her fork got the best of her. That and her fourth husband was a drunk. My biggest surprise was he was driving that old car! I do have a couple more stories on it but its a short comment section... you got cars to build an don't need me taking up your time

There’s so much win in this video. Got us some prayer, three generations of Sleeperdudes in a revival, and brakes in a Chevy. I dunno about that interior tho, it’s awful nice. What’s Rocky gonna chew on?

Awesome video Josh, your dad is a hoot. I loved the prayer before he started the car. Neat that the air freshener that your wife/girlfriend gave you was still in the car.

Might as well get more of your dad's cars going. Keep up the great family content

I wish More people were like you guys. America loves you Guys.

17:27, best part of the video. God bless you guys, love the content you guys make!

Keep it coming Josh love it

My dad had a 68 when I was growing up, my first car was a 69 Impala. Love those cars. Really like yours. Great video ya'll.

3 generations of Sleeperdude makes working under the bonnet of a car That's a memory right there 🚗

Now that you're retired, we may need daily uploads. May as well just strap a Go Pro to your flip flops. Thanks for the entertainment, I look forward to y'all's videos.

Loved the story of this car, and the memories. That's really what it's all about. Your Dad must be proud of what you've done with your car knowledge and your vlog venture, with more to come!

That's great you got your dad's car running! I would like to see more of that. I miss my dad you got to spend time with them while their here

I think it's awesome to see a family pray together. 👍

Great video, Sleeper! I have a 1965 SS Convertible with a 327. Fond memories of the 1966 Belair as it was the year I graduated from high school. I purchased a 1953 Chevy 6 cylinder from a high school teacher, and it burned 2-3 quarts of oil a week. It had a great sounding am radio. Good luck on your new venture!

I really enjoy watching this family content. My first car to work on was 1956 Pontiac Chief. The first car I drove was at 14 years old in 1969. It was a 1965 corvair 4 or 5 speed manual. Great car. Lots of power and 30mpg.

'66 two door with hot wheels and a straight six. Reminds me of that old Beach Boys song "No go Showboat". Fun content. Cool car. And lightening! Who could ask for more? Nice to see Sleeperdad join in the fun! Please give us a walk around his yard to see what else needs to be brought back.

My first car was a 1966 Impala SS Coupe 327 275hp. I purchased this car in July of 1968 after I returned from Vietnam . I wished I still owned this car.

You and your family is what makes America great. Hard working,God loving and very family oriented. I enjoy your content. I hope you get your first car back on the road and enjoy it.

Great video. You all are so lucky to have some land to store all those cars etc without government intrusion. Great job. Thanks for the videos.

A family the plays together stays together.

Great video. This reminded me of my late Grandpa. He had a 66 Chevrolet Caprice, 2 door, 327 auto. Loaded with AC, power windows, console with floor shift.That car was his pride and joy.

Hi this is Wally from down under. Love how you got the Chevy going. I have found if the fule pump is wet /gas in it they will pick up the gas straight away the valves will seal with gas .Being a fiery it is a little bit unsettling watching the boat fule tank lying on top of the spark plugs and dizzy cap. You have the 3 sides of the fire triangle

That's a good looking ol BelAir! Love the MC SS sitting there too! Would like to see a will it run and clean up on that Monte too! I have an 85 SS I call the Satin Sled! 468 BBC. Partial to Montes!

Your old man has Crown Vics. He's a good guy in my books.

Great video, as always. Yes! Would like to see you get dad's cars running.

GROOVY! Love your Dad. He's a cool dude.Thanks to you and your "Pit Crew" for all you do. Thanks to your Dad for letting you share some of his collection. I'd like to see you get that Cadilac running (in the back ground while you were working on the Chevy.)❤🇺🇸🐘

You just can't beat your videos...and your family!Keep on keeping on.

Look at Ralphie... LIKE A SPONGE! GREAT!

Now you have time to save them all. The memories in those cars is invaluable.

Man, that 66 has some potential! Maybe help Dad out, get everything sorted and take it on the next Hotrod Power Tour.

Hey sleeper dude. What a great family , nice memory of the car! Watching you , your dad and Ralphy it’s great! Keep sharing the videos!! Love to watch you all!! GODS BLESSINGS TO YOU ALL!

You gotta keep dad in the vids now too. Dad's add a lot of good content, usually become very popular with viewers.

Awesome watching kids working with their dad and their grandpa.

Nice to see your Dad in another video :o) Matey, I would sooooo love to have that Bel Air! I mostly restore old English cars as I said, or 70s and 80s Japanese cars. my mother and father in law both worked for Datsun and Mitsubishi, so I know them like you know your slant sixes!

That is a beautiful car and such a great day with your dad! Thanks for sharing your memories with us 😊 🙏 ❤️

13 years old rockin the monte sitting on the phone book LOL... take me back to the good old days.

That Buick in the background is the star of the show. 👍🏾

That 66 body looked like it was in pretty good shape. That’s odd for that year. Great video. Yeah I love watching you getting the autos fired up. Thanks for sharing!!

Great video guys. Solve the fuel delivery issue and this car would be a great old car with nice patina and hoops and casings. Might want to put some spring assisted shocks absorbers on it to lift it a bit. Get that Monte Carlo SS we saw in the background running.

Great job on the Belair, it really sounded great. A really nice looking body and the interior is fantastic as well. You have beautiful family Josh, you are truly blessed.

Yes, definitely get Dad's cars running !

Hey Josh great video, Enjoyed seeing Dad working along side you getting the old girl running.Happy to see Puddin,Rocky and Vienna making the show alot of fun. Helping your father getting some of his cars running would be fun to see,just make sure Rocky and Ralphie approve.

Hi from the UK we love you’re videos especially when you include your family and animals - I personally like the fact you don’t hide when you dont know or get something wrong - you’ve inspired me to start my own channel ( but I won’t be making any money from it) cheers guys 👍

Pretty cool seeing 3 generations playing with cars.

Talking about taking about the car you took your driving test in made me think of mine. My mom and I took our tests the same day in a brand new 1960 Ford Falcon ! Wish I had that now👍😄🎩

I absolutely love this car. I'd drive this every day and leave the inline 6 in there forever.

What a great family! Your adventures with cars and family would make an awesome reality show!

bet that brings back a lot of memories, kinda cool working on your first car especially with your dad. three generations working on the same car.

Nice to see three generations of Sleeperdudes inside the Bel Air to celebrate its revival. I would enjoy to see the back brakes and fuel transmission issues solved, plus it having a new body paint, this car is a piece of automotive History after all ^^

I love seeing the "whole family" evolved. It always seemed my dad had more time and patience with my friends than he had with me. It was like I was suppose to already know what to do. We had an OK relationship which after I was older improved greatly. I promised I wouldn't make that mistake with my children and I didn't. The summer my son turned 15 and we took on the project to rebuild a car for him took a great relationship and turned it into an outstanding relationship. Thank you for your videos. OH, I am more of a GM & Chrysler fan. I would love to see you work on some of the older GM say something 50 to 57 - a Buick or Olds would be wonderful.

Love the stories & memories. I for one would love to see more of your dad's collection. Looks like he's not one to get rid of any though.

3 GENS OF SUPERDUDES! LOVE IT!

Ralphie called it! He said the fuel's just sittin' there in the fuel filter and not moving. He was right.

Thanks Josh for another great video. It was cool seeing three generations working on that car. Maybe do a video showing all your Dad’s cars.

We love watching you guys! You make us forget the craziness in this world for a while. God bless you all! 🥰🙏

That's a beautiful '66 Chevy Bel-Air. It's awesome to see 3 generations working on this car. Note: I was born in '66.

Nice to see y’all Josh & family. Had a couple of Crown Vics Police Interceptors. Unforgettable memories of our ‘66 Impala in Kansas in the 1960s & 1970s.

Over at "Isaac it'll be fine" , he has a 68 Biscayne he took to power tour. Valve stem seals should clear that smoke right up. My friend had a white with green top 4 door 66 Biscayne also when we were teens. It was an automatic and didnt like it very much when i tried to put it into neutral and it went into reverse going 45 ! lol Just let out a groan until i popped it back into drive.

Awesome. Thank you for taking the time to upload these videos for us all out here. God Bless You All 🙏 🙌 ❤️.

Just a precious family. This is the greatest thing for the kids. Great memories. Bless you all. 😇😇😇😇😇

Like 54 years ago I had a car magazine where they tested out 'the young family man's hot rod'. It was a 1968 Biscayne 2dr sedan, radio, heater, 427 4 speed, positraction, heavy duty suspension. Stickered for $2998.

Really cool working with your dad on a car that you had memory's with, you've got to enjoy those moments

that 1 was too easy! and as a gm guy, id like to see what else your dads hidin over there. great work as usual!

Your Daddy is as honest as the day is long. He is a straight arrow. He is a Rock.

GOOD IDEA GET HIS STUFF UP AND RUNNING.

It was really great to see three generations of family working together. Love those in line 6 cylinder videos. These are really great engines from all american car companies. Bill

I Love your videos so much, keep up the good work

I love your dad. A man who includes God in everything he does is Great man. 👍

Yes, I think you have enough content in your Father’s yard for awhile!! Let’s see some more interesting will it start and drive!!! Wish I could find my road test vehicle because that was back in 95! Good video Josh!!!

Love this CHANNEL always great time 😁😁💟

AWESOME episode! Love how your family spends time together! Help you Dad when ever y'all can! Two door Bel Air with a smooth 6 is coool!

You betcha, pop needs some help, he’s got a fleet that needs some TLC. Super SleeperDude is on the job!

3 generations priceless

Great Video. reminds me back in the day my grandmother had a new 66 maroon Impala 327 4-barrel carb. that she just crawled to the store and church with. So, I'd be asked to drive it and blow it out. Was fun seeing all that black carbon coming out the tailpipe. Her new 61 Impala got totaled brand new when she put the petal to the metal by mistake for the brake and I went thru the windshield at age 8. She should have had this engine. Ha. (Our family had Chevy garage from 1946 to 1986) anyway.....

I took my driving test in the '65 4 door cousin of this car (Danube Blue, really dark). Also wrecked that one. You may be giving just enough "boost" for the fuel pump by having the boat tank above the pump and near the carb level. I'd love to see the '63 Chevy II get back together - I had a 4 dr '64 when I started college. That miniscule 6 cyl, 1bbl, 3-on-the-tree power nothing was fun. Thanks for the content.

Love YOUR style. FAMILY! That's all it counts! I wish EVERY 30+ would be like you. We would have a great Country.

Loved that dad prayed before trying!!!❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼

Hi Sleeperdude we love your videos here in New Zealand. Awesome seeing you and the family working with your dad and getting that Bel Air running. Its Winter here right now. Cold. Lookin forward to the next vid.

Cool car, I would love to see more progress on that Chevy or one of Dad’s other rides, it was funny when the hood flew up, both realizing, no hood latch, thanks.

I love this! My first car was a 69 Bel Air. My dad bought it from his grandparents in 84 when I was 14. It had 29K miles on it and was a tank. Sure wish I still had that car. Thanks for a great video!

That looks really clean. Perfect for a big block swap. Thanks for the video 👍

This was a fun video to watch. That old Bel Air is a sweet car with great interior. Yes I would like to see more of u and your dad working on his cars. Especially that white Monte Carlo!!!

As usual, another awesome video! This video hits home for me. My first car was a 66 Chevy Impala with swapped 327 Vette motor automatic two-speed powerglide. Had a lot of fun in that old car. Back in the late 70s into the early 80s she was all jacked up on air shocks and 50s on the rear 60s on the front aluminum slots. She was close to the blue on your dad's car, white vinyl top an white interior. Always enjoy your videos! Keep up the great work, I always keeps me coming back! Love the channel Sleeperdude! I even watch your other channel Sleeperdude2! Keep on Motoring brother!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Man, I love those old 60's cars! That's what I grew up with. If I lived next door to you, I'd be over there helping you work on them, sipping on an RC and eatin' a couple of those vi-an-yas!

Love the white monte sitting behind the Belair
