I agree with you mate, DO NOT HOT ROD IT!

todd denio nah bag the hell out of it 🤙🏻🤟🏻

Keep er original !!!

todd denio - I agree completely, this one should be brought back to pristine original and then appreciated for the rare old beauty that it truly is.

I would agree, it’s a simple restore from the standpoint of the austere interior. Obviously there’s a lot of body work to to do. The rear doors are askew, that’s a bit troubling if it’s not just hinges. I’d try to stabilize the body with some interior bracing to prevent any racking. Gingerly lift the body off. Get the engine & tranny out and get them rebuilt if feasible. Put the hooks to the frame, have it and the wheels sand blasted, with the proper media, especially the body. Powder coat the frame and wheels, then start the reassembly of the chassis. With the braced body I’d try to get floor squared around inside and out. Get them both primed and the underside under coated. This would also include paying attention to any and all vertical bracing going up the sides, to at least 12-18” above the floor. The metal is really thick, though I’m sure rust has reduced that a bit, looking at the passenger side upper A pillar. I assume the panels are spot welded on though there may be filled joints? I wonder if the panels can be drilled and removed to get all the rust out? This is such a promising build that’s been rescued in the nick of time. It going to take a lot of love, time and patience. But yes, long post aside, keep it original! Just my thoughts, and yes I am the king of over kill. Blessings to all! Merry Christmas.

There's a truck like this in Fox Lake Illinois the grill is a tad difference but the same style

I agree....I could have saved countless hours and money in learning... from my dad instead of trial and error... Maybe not ....He probably would have spent the whole time saying stop working on that P.O.S. ....u could be working at NASA right now and buying brand new cars.....

yep, in the northeast nobody is calm like these folks... good ppl

@@rustywrenchprojects4171 my dad wasn't around much. He worked for uncle Sam...always gone. We always had what we needed. Except him

@@str864speed4 I feel for you..... I thought my name was Jesus H. Christ for long time... that's what I heard hollered out right before I had to go out in yard and cut the biggest switch I could find to see how many wacks he could do across my back legs and backside before the switch broke

its all for the movies . they have issues like the rest of us losers .

he doesn't say something until there's something to say

Factory mint, if possible.

We both know there not going to do that. It would be to logical

QuestionMan well I mean no matter what they do it’s a cool van id like to see it semi custom not slammed or anything maybe lowered 2 inches or so

@@evandotterer4365 Go back to your room and get your knickers back out of a bunch, 'cos that's exactly what they ARE doing.

@@evandotterer4365 if they had no intention of doing a stock restoration, they wouldn't bother asking what we think they should do.

Stfu

That's pretty good!

Look for Kermit Weeks, Fantasy of Flight on KZfaq. many of the planes you miss will be found there in flying condition.And Kermit says he wants to be him when he grows up, who could blame him, he's truly living his dream!

Thanks for the return text...God bless you fellers....This old man loves to see stuff like this...Cause when l was a boy this stuff was new for the most part...!

Thats a fun story. Electrically its not hard to believe. It must have had a flat battery quite often. Cheers

I believe you on the truck starting its self. I had an 82 suburban with a 6.2 diesel that would start cranking on its own. Im sure it would have started if it hadnt been so cold and the glow plugs werent on. Scared the bejeebers out of me the first time it happened. I also thought someone was trying to steal it.

@@WIDESIDE72 Yaa thanks man.....lt was my dads Nash car back in 1954...lt was scary deal....l sir am 77 years old now...Take car my friend...!

@@merqury5 It was my dad Nash car back in 1954...l sir am 77 years old now...Cheers rite back to you...Thanks..!

Mike Norris right. I drove 4 hours when he came to Atlanta last year. He’s awesome

That's exactly what I was going to say to love that Sweatshirt 👏👍👍🙏

Joe Blow serving God and turning cars if u got a problem keep it to yourself or get off this channel

I have MAXIMUM RESPECT FOR A MAN NOT AFRAID TO TELL THE WORLD WHERE HIS PRIORITIES ARE !!!!

@Joe Blow More like... MARSHA MARSHA MARSHA

Agreed!!!

That's the plan! It's a 1 of 1.

Also this one should be actually restored and painted not left in patina. This is too rare of a piece to not treat right or to chop up.

@@TurninRust Even though I'm a rodder and can already picture it modified, in this instance I totally agree. Here's another thought though: It wouldn't be hard for someone with a similar body to replicate this van using the front grille etc from a donor Chevy. That way we get it both ways: A restored original and a "repro-rod" version!

Bag it and enjoy it! What’s the fun in it sitting in a private collection for no one to see

It's hard to come by a place like that here in the states to.

They are absolutely Christian men. It's no front with them. They talk about God in just about all of their videos.

I agree.

@dale gribble the reason they look more interesting is because the design came from the mind of a living person, which gave them character. These days, the designs come off a computer program designed to give low drag and high fuel economy, which means they all look the same ... same = boring.

good channel if I wasn't clear :)

Just 3 guys with alot of passion for old vehicles! Lance & Wyatt are the brains of the operation, knowledge, and builds! And i have a background in film/editing. It all just works extremely well together! (I'm Wesley btw, the filmer lol) Thank you SO much for the kind words! We put our all into these.

@@TurninRust Totally agree!!! Very well produced. Better than most television shows and just impeccable with the personalities. I feel like I am part of your family!! Thank you my brother...lol

@@TurninRust Awesome work guys, you amaze me with the quality of work and care you all have for these old beautys. Thanks!!

It's better than anything on cable due to the lack of manufactured drama or fake time constraints. This is great stuff.

Chev 1937-39

caelan sprouse I was literally thinking the same thing just now

Noticed that myself.

I've been on him for about the last 4-5 videos. Who's state is on the registration? Texas Then give back to Texas what belongs to Texas and give to God what is God's.

Mark Randall AMEN haha

I'd say this was filmed some time back. These projects don't always happen in the sequence we see them on video.

They should put that on the door ( Last One Standing ) 😃

We have huge plans on a full original restoration!! With it being a 1 of 1, we wouldn't dare do anything crazy. lol

@@TurninRust That's awesome man , can't wait to see it, thanks for all the amazing videos!!!

I'm eager to see something accomplished with this relic very soon too, Daniel!

Love the cars wish I could come with a wad of cash and bring some back to New Zealand,awesome also in Jesus we trust

PRAISE KING JESUS FOREVERMORE & FOR OUR LOVED ONES!

@@alansmlth7989 Amen

@MDS We can only serve one of two Masters on this Earth,God or Satan. and if your not living for Jesus then Satan already owns rights to you and he can claim your Eternal soul forever. Jesus Loves You.

@MDS and you are lost little human

@MDS you're Your Own Worst Enemy

A pity they never show the restoration of vehicles like that one. There was another one of these shows that did.

The US didnt show up for WW2 untill 1942 and civilian cars were sold in 42 over here new cars stopped in Sept 39 when WW2 started.
