So much trailer sadness... lol Thanks for including me... Oh and JD is about the coolest kid I've ever met!

This is why you are now my favorite car channel. Real down to earth people, working on real cool cars. In my opinion JD'S 59 Ford was the coolest looking car at the show. What is really great is that JD worked on so many aspects of the build, he can truly say he helped built, and paint the car.

This is the perfect example of what old cars are for. Go have fun !!

"How dare you!" 🤣🤣🤣

The memories you're making with your son priceless.

You got a try the bourbon barbecue Vienyas. It was great to meet you guys.

The blue 59 Ford fairlane looks great! You and your dad and your son did a nice job of flattening that out.

You sure are a role model for your son! I used to say „if my grandpa can’t fix it no one can“. Your son‘s gonna laugh at anyone stating something’s not fixable and say „my dad can fix anything no matter how bad it is“. 💪

Such an epic journey! So good to see you guys driving. That looked like all kind of fun. My favorite part was how you guys were remapping the injectors with blooming onion and dipping sauce!

I'm loving the body roll when you took the land yacht on the autocross. I bet that got a few laughs on the day!

23:25 You nailed it right there. I absolutely LOVED to drive my '72 ford or one of my Torinos at night. I would just jump in the car and drive and listen to the sound of the tires and the drone of the engine and enjoy the feel of my vehicle. I was in a happy place in my own personal space. Sometimes it is riding with someone else in an older car, I remember when the old mechanic took me on a test drive one night in the '75 Gran Torino he sold me in '99. That test drive while listening to his various stories while we flew down the interstate and various backroads is a test drive I'll never forget. The really memorable drives always seem to be at night. When I was working late night shift retail in the late '90s at 18/19 years old I would sometimes just go drive on my lunch break at night in my '72 Ford. Just cruising at night with 8 cylinders........there really is nothing else like it.

Love it. It’s amazing how this old “junk” is so reliable. If you haven’t noticed I’ve been binge watching from start to finish over the last few days. Lost my 13 year old daughter in a car accident a year ago and these videos have been a great distraction over the anniversary of that.

I bet you guys had a blast! Just driving around and being goofy is such a joy. Seriously people, do a cruise, a fun rally or any local event in any darn thing and just go have a ball! You don't need a million bucks to have fun.

Very cool. A family road trip that won't soon be forgotten.

Dalton...I tell ya You are now my #1 car channel to watch!!! Your "Real World, Real Deal" Mechanic Guy!!! Your Content Is a Learning Experience, Doubters Fuel Your Motivation Just Like I Was Back In The Day!!! Keep Up The Great Real World Stuff!! Oh and J.D. Is An Awesome Mechanic!!! You Taught Him Well!!!

Video is great. I laughed out load at the end when JD said "How dare you!" it was great to meet you guys and im glad you guys made it, you were pretty wiped out by the time you stopped here.

It was great to meet the Father the Son and The Holy Goat!!!

That's good to see both took off together and made it back together just goes to show you must of done something right

What a fantastic idea. Taking your boy to event's like that . Meeting and seeing everyone. Fantastic. Keep up the great work and I will keep on watching

Epic journey! I had just seen JD’s Ford in the background of Dylan McCool’s video when the email came up that you posted this! JD has a real future as a race car owner - just needs a better driver! You are right - gotta drive it to failure and fix it or live scared. I’m looking my evil ‘41 Plymouth straight in the eye and taking it out tomorrow! Carry on, gentlemen!

Being a Pontiac guy and the Father of James Hartwick of Hartwick Performance, I felt a bit out of place at Ford Fest. But as I stood in front of Godzilla I believe the distinctive cadence of a Pontiac V8 made me turn to see the Holey Goat rumble by. It nearly made me weak in the knees! I love Fords, but the danger of having them Exclusively all in one place makes even the most radical fox body etc, seem almost commonplace. The Holey Goat can never understand that word. Lol It was great to meet you and JD. I sorta saw my Son and I as older versions of you guys. It doesn't even matter if JD decides later cars aren't his thing (hush my mouth) these are forever memories with Dad. Great job all around. Hope to see you guys out and about again!

I don't think I've ever seen that much body roll in a car that didn't actually tip over!

As far as I'm concerned You Son is going to have the coolest car in the Highschool parking lot. 🤟😎

You must have a horseshoe up your tailpipe. Between the road trip to Texas and this journey you better play the lottery. You can't lose! Great video

and.. thank you so much for taking us in this great adventure! Epic!

Looks like a great time! Killer video too!

That was an epic trip. Tell JD he done an awesome job on the 59. It was great getting to see the Holey Goat and getting to race the Goat against Candy Kane. After you left the No Name Nationals I did manage to oil down the whole right lane by sending a rod threw my oil pan in the 402. Glad you finished the trip without any serious issues. Great Video Dalton.. until we meet again..

Great running into you, definitely looks like you had one HECK of a weekend! That Holey Goat is one heck of a machine, there's not many rides we see barreling down the road that are even sketchier than OUR kind of sketchy! ;)

Seriously...damn that Ford looks GOOD going down the road! Wow! Came out primo!

Call the fun and none of the money you are truly the only real budget build KZfaq show out there today definitely look like it trip that will be remembered and brought up that many many dinners and bonfires in the future you’re a great guy and a better father than 99% of the people out there

Dalton, Both those cars look real nice going down the roads, I'd take a pic of both of them as I blew past in my Old's... .. Mobile. Good job, Great Trip, Good going Guys. Awesome Memories. be safe too.

That looked-like so much fun, you're a lucky boy JD, enjoy and remember these days,😉👍, great video Dad, you're all awesome, and thanks for sharing guys.

"Boy......You're Crazy" 🔥 🔥 🙈 😉 🙈 🔥 🔥 18.30 Jimi Hendrix "if 6 were 9" insert here! 🎶 11.18 JD's car look so cool in that shot! 😎 🤓 😎 I still love vienna sausages! 😋 😋 😋 So thankful everyone had a successful round trip! Spiritually, we were all able to come along for the ride! Thank you Dalton!!! 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 🤘🏾 🤘🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾

Congratulations on the trip. It was a hoot. Glad you guy’s had a great time. And eating Sleeper Dude’s sausages must been enlightening! Thanks for sharing!

That's so great you guys went that far. Makes you feel young again to just take off on a trip like this. With a desire to travel tools and parts in the trunk. Adventure here we come. Congratulations. JD will be driving soon. Big ups to you all.

Fun video. You guys are all royalty IMHO. So many places your humor made me laugh. Loved it!

Making memories. Well done

What an awesome adventure! Thanks for sharing and taking us along!

Was awesome meeting you, so cool to see the cars in person!

You and Sleeperdude88 would be like two peas in a pod with your approach to working on old cars. JD and Ralphie are probably pretty similarly skilled too.

love the fun you all had making those two trips. hope to see more videos like this, really injoyed this one.

Glad y’all having fun

OMG THAT GOAT LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING FROM MAD MAX!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU GOT BALLS OF STEEL BRO! NICE to see father and son made it!

It was awesome seeing you guys having fun. JD looks really happy. Lots of luck on your journey. God Bless y'all.

JD looked like he was having a blast I enjoyed watching cleaning it up at the show you could see the pride in him. I'm like you you don't have to spend 30 ,40 thousand dollars to enjoy a nice ride. I'm waiting on the Charger and see how it turns out

Thanks! I enjoyed the ride! Regards from Ody Slim

Very cool trip. These are memories that JD will treasure long after you're gone. Also, love that Goat shirt, I just snagged me one!

My 16 year old grandson just found out how much fun it is to drive a 74 Scout with absolutely nothing but a driver floorboard and a core support for a body. He thinks it’s the coolest thing ever! He can’t wait for the 79 Pinto body to be re-homed on the Scout chassis. Thank goodness he isn’t into tuner cars, instead he is in love with his 82 c10 Silverado. Make his Grampy real proud!

Ending statement there pretty much says it all man.. Just get out there and drive these things people.. who cares what it still looks like or if it's not 'perfect' or you're scared something might break. It'll never break if you don't ever drive it, and then what the heck is the point in having a car? Love it!

Totaly the holey goat is my favorite car on KZfaq i love it 🤟🤟🤟🤟🍺🍺🍺🍺

I love the roll in JD’s car

Thx for the clip of my Fairlane leaving Lamberts. Was cool meeting you. Did 2k plus miles for this event with less than 100 miles shakedown time.

Epic adventure!

Tons of awesome cars showed up very sweet

Well, I hope you guys learned your lesson. If you really want to have a good time make sure next year to balance your complete rotating assemblies, blueprint the oil pumps, make sure rods are within .005 grams and Trailer everything to the show!

The Holey Goat is sitting in the number 1 spot of my all time favorite internet cars, the Cheviac, Slave Lake, Rotson, Independence are some of the others. The Goat runs so you win the rhubarb pie

The whole trip looked like blast. I wish I could have made it to Beech Bend.

I have a car show in the morning...fortunately I have windows and a working heater. It's only a 1 hour drive...so yeah, I don't think I could have done this. 😀

This is a great video! Multiple angles with many different camera shots. Good edits.. meaty content nice work sir. I just love the fact that you had cameras in both cars and were able to shoot the holy goat while driving! Outside!Inside! now you need drone footage and you have a mini movie.

Been a Ford fan since I was a kid. I had a 68 galaxy 500 for 10yrs and do to a family thing I had to sell it and that is the only car out of many I owned that I miss good 👍 job on the Ford and hope your son keeps it a long life.

Nice video, your absolutely put the hammer right on the old nail head, just get the ol rig out there and get it heading down that ol highway and turn up some jam and get that good ol feeling back life's to short keep up the good work thank you John the mechanic

You guys are righteous dudes love all your stuff epic journey your boy will have memories for years. Keep up the good work. 👍👍👍👍

I'm really glad that you guys connected with sleeper dude they're awesome Channel I really enjoyed the whole video just to show you you don't need a big fat bankroll to have fun love your channel I'll keep watching you're great

@23:23 'Dalton's Mantra' 👍👍👍👍👍👍 Put this in every media form and sell it. Great words to you car peeps out there in America.

Wow, these videos are getting better and better. You and your son are a perfect match to go into business together in restoring and having fun with the cars with you. I wish every parent could give the love and support you give to your son. Thanks for treating him the old school way, rolling up the sleeves, getting things done and having fun in the process. Plus, all these skills he's learning is great but independence and confidence is key to success. Your son is learning to be a healthy well balanced person who believes in himself, awesome!!!

I love make vehicles do what everyone thinks they won’t. My 79 c10 when I bought it the owner told me the motor is junk, don’t even try to get it going it’s trash, I took it home cleaned the sludge out of the motor and I’m still driving it today.

These video's are pure gold. Thank you!

Rorer 714 Quaalude Ford, Hell to the Yeah. Ty for taking us along

It's good to see a Pontiac and a Ford working together.

So fun to watch . I must watch Josh video too.

That was an excellent trip. Great to see you meet more you tubers. I'm a big fan of Sleeperdude and he is alot like you. Normal people doing great things.

Porta walls, a forgotten treasure! Only one shop in town was was willing to install mine.

The video turned out to be a 10 out of ten Dalton. The '59 is quite a stunner in the color scheme chosen and again I'm green with envy. There had been a '59 for sale in my town on a 'rip-off' price gouge lot for several months that I drove past and so desperately wanted to own. Unfortunately I hadn't the means to keep it safe from the harsh elements of Arizona sun baked summers and certainly not the first notion of how I would make it a runner as you have with JD's '59. Just to say here, I once owned a 1978 Cadillac Eldorado Barritz with a 425ci engine that had blown front and rear mains. The oil that blew out of the engine would coat the under belly of my beautiful Caddy to the point that every stop light she smoked mercilessly. [Embarrasingly] That went on for at least a year with the starter getting soaked in engine oil to the point where the starter couln't operate after awhile. All rebuilt starters didn't match up so I had the where with all mechanically then to disassemble the rebuit starter, remove the guts and place them in the original housing of the oil fouled starter after a clean up. I do miss my 'Dina' which she became known as for the fact she was a true dinasaur. A factory 8 track player did work and I had a Hank Williams tape that was always playing for road trips. I had a receiver attached to the frame in order to pull a short 15' Lo-Liner Aristcrat camp trailer and she did so with aplomb. Even over the 'Grapevine' of Interstae 5, in California when I left Long Beach and moved back home to the Bay Area up north (400 miles) with the Lo-Liner stuffed to the gills. So I'm quite familiar with a smokey under belly with a old worn engine as you encoutered on your 1,200 road trip. Great time for you all and your advice at the end is so on point, just do it!

Really cool video man, you’re making some great memories for you and jd that he’ll always remember. The old cars are meant to get out and be driven, I honestly love getting my old Chrysler out and cruising it. Thanks for sharing the trip with us, keep up the good work.

That full performance suspension yall installed paid off on the autocross!

Awesome road trip. My Dad and I just drove 478 miles round trip to pickup a 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am with a number’s matching 400 6.6l. The road trip is half the fun.

I gotta say.. you've got Balls... King of the Road... In the Holy Goat... I don't know if I could try ay pull that off.. drive that GTO relic THAT far.... even in my younger years. When you could get away with almost anything. No cell phone cameras... ECT. I give You much Respect

That old Ford turned out to be a really nice car. I have seat covers like the Holey Goat in my rat bug 🤣 Too bad I didn't know you were coming through Kentucky. I would have waved as you went by.

fantastic road trip mates

The epic journey. Pretty awesome. Take care, Ed.

I bet that warmer weather was so nice in the goat with the lack of windows compared to the cold weather that had to suck Dalton @Pole Barn Garage

Such a great video lots of fun very cool

What an awesome trip!

Great job. Your son will remember this build and drive forever..

Glad you guys had a good time

So very cool thanks for your time 😊

Love all y'all's shenanigans and hard work, or hardly work, haa! Still it's the best! Thanks.

Great work guys, I love your channel, you literally built and drive the stuff you have built. You are my favorite and my to go to channel for months.

Epic. I Love this channel. THE REAL LOW BUDGET CAR CHANNEL.

Very awesome episode, the old Ford did very well! Looks great, not much of a autocross car. But it did it!

Epic trip... thanks for sharing

Why do I feel like I just watched the best episode of "My Name Is Earl" ever where every character is Randy?

Great ride thanks for lettin us ride along...

Just fantastic. What a wonderful episode.

Thanks for your great content

Epic trip. Really enjoyed watching it. Very impressed there were only a couple of minor issues.

The 59 looks great and lots of fun 😊

Amazing trip guys

The cool weather will keep the older car's running nice & cool. 🤣😂🤣👌

so cool. good video. had we not been at Sikeston for the No Name Nationals I would have run down and checked out Ford Fest down at Bowling Green kentucky. that's real close to our house.
