@@5150mxVW GET OLD SCHOOL LUNCH TRAYS AND PUT THEM UNDER WHEELS

haha, yeah i even mentioned them at the 14:30 mark...

@@5150mxVW I tend to think it is too late for 70 year old cars in the rust belt, except for plastic parts that sun bleach in the desert. The most neglected cars, the ones being most neglected, are the ones you see in the crushers, which are generally half that age or even less in the rust belt. the future classics rather than the current ones. Yes, this car is a true classic and saving it is worth many hours, but there are 30 and 40 year old cars that can be saved in minutes, though the air cooled ones are mostly in Mexico. Still, it is good for a mechanics image to be seen in a car this old. As for jacking, I prefer to use stable cribbing wood between the jack and the ground than to use wood between the car and the jack, which is hard to stabilize, and short cribbing, around 2 feet, isn't too hard to lug around. Cribbing might need to be a little longer to accommodate the length of a shop jack, but I believe proper cribbing is the way to go when jacking cars high.

haha, I couldn't give him 300 ...a friend thinks i over paid🤣🤦‍♂️

I realized after I actually watched the video! Still glad you got it. And I'm sure you got it for a reasonable price if he originally was asking $3.

thank you , yes i've been lucky with non frozen drums lately...back to reality :). It's a roller now though, can't wait to get it off the trailer and give it it's first PUSH🤣

Well you are the expert at pushing cars around.

👍, 91 years young !

And he saved her all this yrs ..thats the main thing

i am surprised, 91 ? yet he still walks amazingly upright which is fantastic for being 91 years old.

thank you! Yes, it feels really good to be back in the driveway at 75 degrees, sun and natural light :)

do a rat rod ICON update motor tranny suspension but leave paint interior alone

Thank you Marty, great to hear....haha, we will see , I have enough ovals so I'll probably be passing this one on to a friend

yes! great story , a car with a story and history is where it's at

Haha ! I’ll take it 👍😁

Oh damn ! Just saw your thumbnail! Back in the New York Groove …same em live in 77 or 78 , great show , I was 7

@@5150mxVW I’ve chatted with u before! I went to that ace show back in feb. ! It was awesome! I took my 79 year old mom 🤘⚡️⚡️⚡️

🤣 and the baby one to boot :)

@@5150mxVW Your videos are chuck-full of self-deprecating commentary, which I find very entertaining. I’m glad the baby Harbor Freight lift worked out. The operation looked pretty sketchy on film. Poor Don must have aged 10 years observing it in person!

thank you Tommy, much appreciated

Thank you, Well if Dubwerks ( channel ) buys it , it will :)

thank you Chris! Oh cool, I think the 55 Kevin and I pulled from the junkyard is Nile Beige ....ooh, i didn't that, thank you for the info

Haha, I’m working on it right now as we speak …it’s really gonna be different this time , things are gonna change . I CAN FEEL IT 😆

@@5150mxVW let musti fix it.

Oh sweet , I never saw one

Thank you ! I really appreciate that . Sitting here in the rain staring at this oval . I started the paint stripping on it , man I love this polar silver . 😍

The age of Sinatra, Mastroianni, and Maria Callas. Silver blue being one of the signature fashion accents of the 50’s

thank you Jim

thank you

thank you!

tilt trailer ?!? who has the $krilla for that😆

I was thinking the same.. i can back my power tilt right under the wheels... alot safer and easier when there are no ramps to deal with..

👍👍, thank you for checking out the journey

yes they are, thank you , Dubwerks found this one

Was it Friday 13th, what part of that was great? The S.O.B twisted the shit out that chassis loading it, what a nightmare.

lmao, twisted lmao...clearly you don't know $ht ...you think that chassis got twisted from both rear wheels being on the trailer ...one locked front going up the ramps and one rear wheel sliding on the wood deck ...like i said , my intent was to free up all 4 wheels w/ the drum puller , throw the nice roller rims on and roll it out .

thank you warbird, I appreciate it

It was in good shape until the nightmare loading took place.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

😁

He sure is 👍

thank you William, ah the good old days...that trailer made me cringe the last time i saw it haha.

Did you look at another video, that was a nightmare. What are you smoking.

If you think that was a nightmare you need to check out his other videos that make this one a cakewalk

haha! thank you :).... i just called him and asked as I should of gotten more on the history of the car. He went took it over when he had a fellowship in Germany. He said it was cheaper to take his car over vs rent one for 6 months.

Yes , thank you , it’s mine now lol
