btw amazing Cadillac

It's straight and it's got the skirts..$

🙏

Gets paid for it. Takes effort like any work does.

Great job getting this Caddy to run. The drone shots show it off quite well.

There's a point of no return.. fun to watch

Indeed it is. Cool car in its prime

I agree!

@@THROTTLEPOWER kkkkkkk

I'm so tired of every new car/truck/suv looking basically the same. We should have kept making cars people liked looking at rather than cars that do less damage when they hit pedestrians...

Glad you like them And really appreciate the feedback! Thank you

​@@NoNonsenseKnowHowHow much did you pay for that caddy?!

Glad you enjoy it!

Awesome! Thank you!

Maybe one day!

Good for me in southern California

@@332ARA Well, the 1 year warranty isn't good anywhere.

@@bills6093 usually if a battery lasts a year its going to last 5 or 6. Unless you misuse it.

@@thesmallenginekid That's the risk you take when using a battery in a role it was not designed for. If it fails in that role, you have no warranty. And I never go more than 4 years on a car battery anyway. I replace them before they let me down.

I hear you, anything that old around here is not worth touching :P (Sweden)

I was stationed at RAF Mildenhall in 83.While there, I bought a 74 Ford Thunderbird. It was wider than the roadway. I sold it to a very happy Brit before i came back to the states.

i'm sure you could do a "will it run" on a 1980 Mini Metro for a few hundred quid!

If i had the space here in manchester id be dangerous buying these old v8's!

How is that NOT the most rewatched part of the vid??? [I'm on my 6th time watching and laughing]

Oh okay. Awesome, thanks for the info!

3rd generation camaroa had them too.. pure trash the brackets always fell apart

@@NoNonsenseKnowHow Theres no electric motor, thats the solenoid release. The mechanism is spring loaded and cocked by the trunk hinge via a PTO cable. I could see the cable on the passenger side hinge.

I'm pretty sure there was no soft close back then. There's likely a button in the glove box that pops the lid, but it doesn't assist with closing. Those came much later.

@George Caddy’s weak point was a cheap piece of plastic that bridged the gap between the fin and taillights. Around ten years it would start to rot off in pieces!! More if garaged. Most people wouldn’t repair it and it looked like 💩

I appreciate that! Thank you and will do

Heck yeah! She's running like a top

Fresh water, quick cleaning, minimal electronics… that’s the key. Any salt water and it’s done for

That means a lot man. Thank you very much for checking the videos out. Awesome that you're watching all the way from Ireland

@@NoNonsenseKnowHow always buddy, thanks :)

Great video Chris watching from north east England

Right on! Those t100s are great trucks! Pretty much The real first generation tundra

Thank you Grant! Cheers!

I hear that I buy my vehicles i FL im in Maryland so rust here to but not as bad as other states

Here in Texas we dont get that type of rot either its a real shame

And LOTS OF MONEY....

These type projects need a small Mom & Pop business on East Coast doing sand mold castings in recycled 316 steel. So to rust and salt proof these cars. Affordable and Just a fun bunch of people who like being there as a esoteric niche for a bunch of grease monkeys who won't let these behemoths die. They are beautiful cars and a lot of American ingenuity, blood sweat and tears went into em. A Mom and Pop shop that makes drop in and tac weld flooring, rockers and body parts. Spray resin cold, rust, and salt resistant insulation. Powerwash sprayable. For people to really value it. Make it open ended. Not exclusively a full service. Shop should keep molds from all jobs and just build a library where the project could be simple as the refurbisher renting the body part mold and spraying fiber glass or refurbished rubberized plastic prints themselves. Then you get original body integrity of true chasis, engine and trans, but with lighter (higher fuel efficient, better range for hybrid, or electric conversions). Stregthen the body but keep it lighter than a modern full size pick up. Put on a tow package and install seating that folds front & back seat into a bed, with still under bench storage space. Modern power brakes and seat belts. Maybe a salvage lift kit to get it a bit off road and a horn that plays Marty Robbin's El Paso.

Much appreciated!

Thanks man appreciate you tuning in!

NNKH and VGG are the best you tube channels on the planet, I wouldn't miss an episode. I'm sure we all appreciate your hard work.

Agreed, except it’s MCA or Marine Cranking Amps for marine batteries. Marine batteries generally are not designed to crank in as cold of temps as car batteries are, therefore the difference in terms CCA and MCA. As to why they are so much cheaper IDK maybe less demand?

Great video as usual !

It's odd, usually everything else for the boating consumer has the price jacked up.

@@corydriver7634 Yeah, the difference in CCA is what lowers the price. Marine batteries have thicker and fewer plates than an auto battery. Probably cheaper to manufacture because of the higher tolerances.

Thanks so much for tuning in man!

Couldn't agree more!

And thanks

Cadillac parts are very expensive. The interior alone would probably be $2000. The top $1-2000.

Later model seats can be found for reasonable prices on ebay. A good solution to follow floorboards, if one were to restore it.

@@rogersmith7396 not everything in this world is solely about money, some things are just passion and love. Can't put a price on those things.

@@wyattblackwood3927 Some don't have $10,000 to put into a wreck. Some should spend the money on their families or something else. I've done similar projects and the time spent goes through the roof. Often someone will start and give up and then pass it over to someone else. A little paint won't get the job done. I have a TR 6 that has'nt been on the road in 15 years. Its in far better shape than this car. The mice have taken it over. And you can get most parts for it. Passion and love can be eaten alive by reality and crap.

@@rogersmith7396 I'm not sure what all your hostility is about I'm just saying not everything has to turn a profit, if you don't have the money then don't start a project it's a simple as that but crying about it isn't going to fix anything. Right now I'm dropping a lot of money and rebuilding an 85 Ford F250 into an absolute Beast and it'll never be worth what I'm putting into it but it's for my own personal pleasure. I've seen a lot of people waste time sitting around watching sports or just watching TV, which I think is a complete waste of time, personally I'd rather be out in the garage building my truck or working on my bike or my boat, something productive. You have a good day !

You got that right! 😆

Detroit Sled

Yeah, he did'nt want to let the rusty water out.

Eh...Yank the engine out and scrap the rest. Total junk, man!

It's a candidate for the junk yard.
