Priceless info from a brilliant mind.

G.D right

David Macauley Great to see that there's a Lot of New ,Young Enthusiasm for Old Cars . Someone will have to Love & take care of my Charger one day ...

What kind of car tho ?

Obviously a Mopar!!

Uncle Tony's wife is a car, she's a 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham....classy, elegant, the very top of the line.....thanks for your great vids, Uncle Tony....always fun to watch and informative

Absolutely

NYC used to have good publoc schools. Today? The admins practically have an oath for parents to adhere to a host of crazy theories [crt or whatever]. Some, I've heard, even make the parents write papers on the latest garbage.

There aren't enough people like your grandpa - nowadays it's all people who want to be the "squeaky wheel" hoping someone else greases them :p

Yeah, and that's the thing with us car guys. A lot of times common sense goes out the window, the minute we start dreaming about car stuff. Sometimes even the more experienced ones can get in over their head. It sure is a disease, but I can think of many that are worse.

I agree. I'm working on my first build. I've owned it for 5 years and because I haven't been focused on it, it's been sitting and rotting for most of that time. I started focusing on it a couple of months ago and already it's able to be driven on the road, though it still needs a lot of work yet. Cutting out distractions is REQUIRED for this.

I agree with some of your comment, but I just need to say that common sense, is a sense. There is no teaching it. You either have it, or you don't. It's more of an IQ thing.

Couldn't agree more.. this bloke is a walking car encyclopedia and I'm addicted to the knowledge being thrown at me!!!

@@vanillathunder9106 he sure is! And sadly his kind are dying off! Well at least not as many around, like even 10 years ago.

Motley Rodder having the cleanest car is overrated. Having a decent looking car that you’re not afraid to drive is a lot more fun than one that’s only good for looking at. I enjoy looking at clean cars, but I could never own one

The only reason these kids have the spotless cars is because that's the extent of their abilities. Guess they want to have a connection with their car and show off what they did.

The next generation is absolutely coming on strong. I see them as potentially taking things to that level of art Japanese car and bike builders seem to have mastered

Young fellows are getting into the old F100's rough & as is , they are good fun trucks

@@benwinter2420 I'm a 50 yr old Chevy fan....and I see a lot of young guys doing fords I think its great

As a 29 yr old in Australia i sincerely hope we can keep this tradition going my project is a 60 ranchwagon and my daily runabout is a 78 f100. but it's getting harder to get the good information like tony often shows. I'm very appreciative of his channel. Also swapmeets are my most valuable asset. more for information than parts. But there dwindling out here in qld. Cheers from aus.

@@benwinter2420 I'm 26 and I got a 72 F100 and a 67 F250, so you're not wrong 😂

Callum Blosse in this situation it’s almost hard to tell if you’re referring to his smokes or the number of Dodge Darts that he has owned.

The only thing better would be to have a pack of camels rolled up in his shirt sleeve.

True! But never see him take a drag of it? A sign of someone trying to quit. And uses this technic to stop. As long as the nicotine isn't inhaled his cravings will subside after time. But I'm new to the channel. So not 100% sure.

@@thequietonesometimes6415 Drag of cig @ 4:12

thats not a cig at the start

He was born smoking a cigarette!

Yea, the shops, because they pay based on the work they can sell the customer, it's rife with shady dealings. When I was running my shop I didn't sell someone on a job that they didn't need to have done. I remember one example where a woman had a really crappy suv that wasn't worth fixing but she wanted the squeaky lower control arms done to stop the squeak. I told her, "look, given the condition of the vehicle otherwise, I wouldn't recommend doing this repair. It's just a squeak. If I thought the car would last 50, to a 100k miles...sure I'd see doing it. But the car's a heap that is likely going to have a major breakdown fairly soon." She insisted and I did the job. But, of course the car had a major failure that wasn't worth fixing and she never came back to me, probably because I was right and she was embarrassed. But, I was honest with her even to my own detriment. My reputation as a mechanic was impeccable. Nobody that had ever dealt with me EVER had any question about whether or not I was being straight with them. Occasionally someone would have a complaint that didn't have anything to do with what I did. And here's the thing, people watch videos and think they know what I know or more! I had to point out to one guy, after I made him play the vid for me, where they cut away real quick and then "magically" the component was apart when they came back. It WAS NOT the easy little 10 minute fix the customer was certain it was. Another issue, along the same vain, is where someone did all the research, watched the vids, bought the parts and even knew what I should charge. They'll bring the car over and ask, how much to put this on. I'll say..."x bux, IF that's what's wrong with the car." I was assured it was what was wrong because of this that and the other thing so I said, Ok...fine. I replaced the part because, in my defense, it was a very plausible argument in favor of that being the bad part. Well, it wasn't and of course THEN it was, "well you're the mechanic, you should have known". People will watch the vids and think they know more than the mechanic but when they're wrong, they're not willing to accept the responsibility. So, I started telling them if I haven't diagnosed it, which I mostly do for free anyway, I'm not just throwing parts on. Take it up to Muffler Man. See what they tell you.

I am a mechanic and got screwed over by a private shop and the dealership to the tune of over $3,000! I will not have anyone work on my car's again unless it's something I absolutely cannot do!

I feel ya. I'm 19 now and grew up with youtube and the internet, and I couldn't imagine whatsoever what it was like before. on here I see so many tricks, and effectively even learned carburetors somewhat well thanks to videos on here

@@cpufreak101 the internet wasn't what it is now when I grew up and it's made things a lot easier. But it wasn't that hard either. You just had to read books and magazines for most of the information. Guys used to keep stacks and stacks of them for the how to articles and it drove my girl nuts.

I'll bet that is a boatload of fun! Wow!

Truth

Nice! 👍🏼

Wish I knew this when I sold my 1986 monte carlo. Original 40k mile car. Spotless. Literally. Like it rolled off the showroom floor. AND I bought it for 1500 bucks!

That's the genera; point we try to get across with the general theme of this channel

Frank M muscle cars😁🏌🍻

to bad u switched to a a ghetto style car😨😨😨😨😨🤔😨🤔😨😨🤔🤔😨🤔😨😨😨😨😨are u from the hood😨😁✌jk

@@johnbeer5242 Yea, you're right, changed photo to the 355 in my 70 Z 28. Better?

I think Uncle Tony is from Long Island or somewhere in NY. I see alot of Long Islanders commenting on his videos. I myself live in Sayville on LogIsland. Such a nice area :)

​@@Frankiebonez337 I grew up in Oakdale and had friends in Sayville. It is and was a beautiful town. Almost bought a house there, but wound up in Bayport, this was in 1985. In 1990 I moved to Idle Hour and in 96 moved to Florida. My heyday was the mid 70's when everyone had "muscle cars". We didn't use that phrase back then, I called my 70 RS Z-28 a hotrod.

"good shit no gimmick" - I like that. :)

@@trillrifaxegrindor4411 the thing is the car is a unibody with a torque bar, so I will have to stiffen up the entire thing and reinvent the front suspension and make new motor mounts, so I have no problem cutting out anything I need to! But from the lookd of it, it'll fit!

I appreciate reading your comment. Thanks for sharing.

You sound like interesting folks. Love the P1800 and a PV544 was my first car. Love Studebakers too and had an awesome Lark Daytona convert. I live on the Washington side of the Columbia River just east of Portland and love the fact that the PNW is as easy on cars as it is for how wet it can be at times.

If you like to just cruise 🚗. You might like to join Uber. It's like getting paid while you cruise. ( If your car is a 4 door)

Thanks!

I know Mr. Dove.

Johnny Hot Rod Sweet!!!!

Mr. Dove's business is only 20 minutes away from me and he lives two doors down from a friend of mine.

Greetings from the middle of nowhere in the Bronx.

A Dacia is very cool!

You sir have a dream car of mine. A word of advise. You may want to hang onto that Avanti awhile because i have a feeling the will be making a move in valuation before long.

Kids are weak that's why tiger woods and tom Brady still dominate into there mid 40s that used to be unheard of

Shit, I was a young guy once. Doesn't seem that long ago. Until my kids tell me that I'm older than dirt.

56's not old.

I’m fifty and I can get away with it. Sadly I’m not thirty anymore.

I did as well.

Same.

Fifty something going on twenty something

That's probably the one thing that put me off owning a Mopar. I couldn't imagine bumping the motor like a Chevy trying to find TDC. You could be at it for a while waiting for that starter to wind down. But hey, to each their own. You build what you love, not what everyone else is doing. There all cars with their own special quirks. Just like their owners.

Tate-tate-tate-tate-take zzzziiiiing kkhhhhaaaa

Yeah, but without metric tools you'd never have a 5/16 _and a half_ (8mm) for crusty bolts. Same goes the other way, of course. ...and I hear you on the 13" tires. I had to buy a set last year and I couldn't even get premium tires in that size anymore. Best I could do was Hancook... :/

Thanks, Cal

Baby steps, man. Just keep moving forward an inch at a time, and you'll get there

You’ve got at least 14 years man. You’ve got this

lol same here with quadrajunks, hol-leaks , and GM starters and alternators

Yeah...i miss the days of solid, complete 68 Chargers for $100... Had 5 total, never paid more than $300!!! Now you cant get a fender for that 😞😱😕

Why the fuck is this weirdo always hanging out scared in alleys????

@@Spec187OnA That's his house/shed/yard . . why you got alleys on the brain ?

Ben Winter lol I have no idea how this reply was left on this comment on this VIDEO. Was meant for a totally different video. I maybe need help. Let me also state the man in the video is not a weirdo and I very much enjoy his insight.

@@Spec187OnA Tell me about it . . Goolag/YT likes to yank my chain regular with messing with my comments

lol, noticed that too. that is one slow choppy sounding airplane

It's one of those vehicle spinning blade, lift inducing planes. Reading that comment at the beginning it made no sense... Then a helicopter happened. That's a dedicated car guy.

Shouldn't he have a barracuda in the backyard somewhere?

Shouldn't he have a barracuda in the backyard somewhere? 🤔

@@AwesomeBlackDude he probably does... I think that's a Hemi Lightweight Dart that's behind him in a lot of videos... it looks like one anyway.

Nice truck!

It’s always been my dream to restore a ‘70 Chevelle SS. Or just own one. But then I see the prices and the scarcity of the parts is ridiculous.

Yeah we are lmao 🤣

Thank you!

haha sick i am 18 now but i had a 67 galaxie traded it for a 78 camaro thats my daily now

@@ianb3866 very nice, I'm trying to make my car a daily. I'd say I've put at least 700 hours on my car already sofar

@@treylewis7036 nice i traded mine bc i found a bunch of bondo and my camaro is so nice its got a lot of work already done to it i gotta do rotors and pads really soon tho

@Trey Lewis - My dad's first car (that I remember) was a '64 Ford Galaxie 500, white with blue interior. He sold it to my uncle when he got his Cadillac. Love your avatar!

@@combatjm89 thank you. My car is raven black with red interior but a white headliner

Amen... as i help my buddies.. my advice is always, If I Can't Replace it today. And it's not leaking, broken etc.. it's Stays doing it's job.. Cause as you know. MOPAR AIN'T ON THE SHELF.. like the Chevy.. peace brother

To be fair i could have replaced the back quarters and fenders , hood and grill and made a Satellite or a Charger but for the Charger have to replace the back portion of the roof and doors lol all those parts are readily available and fit because a B body is a B body and have been available for years .

@@jimbotheassclown hahaha.. yup.... Mopar or No Car.... seriously i don't have another Car.. 68 Dart.. granny white walls four doors.. and a hidden V8.. Named Cecile.. since I drive her everyday.. doing upgrades have to be well planned.. everything works except my Solid state Radio..

static clutch they are a cool well built vehicle. I don’t have one and regret selling my 01 Tacoma but Toyota manufacturing quality is consistently amazing.

Same! Except im passionate about 3rd gens 😎

I love 4Runners but have yet to have one. Maybe one day! I had the money for a 3rd gen a few months ago but spent it all on my Nova...not the first time I've done that!

Motley Rodder nice 4th gen nova man I have one too ! Not too many of them around I’ve only seen one other one in person my entire life

Keep waving at them.. it won't be weird after a while...... maybe

What happened

Hopefully your religion can teach you to love a better make

just kidding dude. just for laughs lol

@@MiguelGarcia-nl3ci Ford is the best. If it wasn't your brand wouldn't steel their shit. No matter what cars you like, they stole designs from Ford.

@@429supercj absolutely no they did not. That is why you see more classic Chevys on the road than you see classic forda. not all of them survived

@@MiguelGarcia-nl3ci maybe at your lowrider meets not not in reality
