I think it was a win because of the quality time you spend with JD. Gives me hope for the next generation.

So, this comment is for JD. This is the car you keep. You never sell. You fix it when you inevitably crash in it as a teenager. You go on first dates in it. You drive off from the wedding chappal, dragging a bunch of tin cans on strings in it. It's the first car to pull into the first driveway of the first home you buy. You keep working on it with your own kids. Finally, you hand over the keys to your kid as his or her first car. Why do you do all of that?? Because it's your first car that you and your dad built together.

This is the most real video on working on cars I have ever seen. Not everything gets done perfect in 30 minutes with commercial breaks and almost losing the garage. Set backs, wrong parts, blood has to be given sometime and lots of disappointments goes with that perfect day of driving your project. Dalton, this is the right way to do videos for your channel. Salute for never giving up.

I miss the years of when my son and I did this stuff. We swapped our rusted out frame on my 65 Galaxie 2 dr ht, put the 394FE I built back in 1999 and pulled it out of the truck, put the C6 and 4.33 locker in and the engine/transmission swap in, it was so much fun. I m 62 now and blind and my son is 40 now and really busy with his own family and work. Do these things while you can. They grow up so fast!

What a good kid JD is he’s gonna be a hell of a mechanic in a few years came across this channel bout a month ago and been watching ever since. Also gotta say you are a hell of a dad this world needs a lot more like you good luck guys.

As much as it drives a man crazy trying to get everything done and done right the first time, it never seems to work that way. But the memories that you and JD are making can never be replaced. These are stories you'll tell again and again and they'll never get old. I enjoy watching you and your son . Keep the videos coming.

JD is genuinely a good worker, and I’m 100% with you on his battery tray! Lookin’ forward to seeing JD learn to handle a spay gun!

The way JD says "yeah" makes me smile, and because he is so flexible he's perfect for working inside the engine bay. I will watch you, and JD working on his car anyday before some fancy garage show on TV.

There's no substitute for quality time with your kids. Keep learning on JD, he will cherish these moments when he's older and will hopefully pass along these lessons to his kids. Keep up the good work, been here since the first Holey Goat video and I'm enjoying watching the channel grow.

Haven´t owned a car for 30 years. Have no idea why I find car-wrenching videos so entertaining, but keep them coming, please. Love to see you teaching on your son, and generally hanging out together. I live in Denmark, where we don´t really have old cars (long, cold, wet winters and aggressive salting on the roads), so no luck for me, I guess :( -But I can enjoy vicariously from shows like yours. Say hi to the Algorithm from me ;)

That 42 min part " IT WORKED!" Lol , I love those moments

I was a ford transmission tech forever.the secret to lining up the torque converter studs is to center the stud at 12:00 and the flywheel hole the same.once it is installed,check to make sure the stud wiggles in the hole in the flywheel.if not,pull it back out because something is not right.

Heck yea! Been waiting to hear that old Ford bust off. Tractor Supply had their brand farm and implement paint and it's a great car paint for 25% of the cost of auto paint. As long as you like the colors. Heck yea! This build is right up my alley. You and JD make a great team.

Love the show, it's wonderful, you and JD are building his 1st car together. You's have a great relationship. Good job.

🙌. Ure a GOOD MAN, GREAT FATHER. My Dad, who I was doing my apprenticeship with, kept making me , whilst teaching me, completely rebuild a 73 MINI ………….. every ounce, even painting it……. Then, one day I had to go take my driving test, during work time. I passed and came back to work . My Mum was in the office at the time of my arrival….. and they hugged me, ( well Mum did) Dad, shook my hand and said very well done Son…. and threw the mini keys at me…. Best go test your car runs ok. Boy did I cry. Lost for words.

I’ve been a professional mechanic for 30 years and I have my own shop at my house. I remember very well working with my son when he was your son’s age. Now he’s a Gunnery Sgt. in the USMC. He was also very thin and wormy like your son. Now he could fold me up like a napkin if he wanted to. Enjoy the process as much as the final product. Time really is all that you have.👍

J.D. is a lucky young man to have a Dad like you, that spends time with him and teaches him the important things. You know... car stuff! He will grow up to be a fine man! Thats good on you.

That’s going to be a great first car and build. Parenting done right.

J.D.’s optimism and willingness to do whatever it takes is refreshing. WTG guys!

It’s great to see a dad guiding his son. Keep up the great parenting….and content!

What a cool car!! I love the old FE engines, there torque monsters!!

Great project, great kid! The lessons learned here will last him a lifetime. No worries on the video, its all good!

It's awesome seeing you and JD working together. He's a good kid with a good dad!

You got a free performance transmission you messed it up by accident you offered to pay them to fix the mistakes made and he still refused payment wow what a great guy @Pole Barn Garage

Just found your channel and love it! I love the way you include JD in your content. He is great kid! You are giving him not only knowledge of how to do what you do, but more importantly, time which is the greatest gift of all. My kids don't remember any gift I gave them, but they do remember what we did together. I look forward to following you along on your adventures in wrench turning. Keep up the good work!

Love seeing you and your son working on his 1st car together,grooming the next gen

Hope ya'll are having a good weekend out there. Great progress on the Ferd. Can't wait to see him ripping up the highway with it.

Vice Grip Garage...Zip Ties & Bies Plies...Pole Barn Garage....top 3

Great video of a major effort to bring JD's car back to life. Thoroughly enjoyed being along with you guys on this one. Stay safe.

Love it! Making memories with your son…doesn’t get any better. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the build.💪💪

I love how you include your son in everything your an awesome dad,unlike Bad chad that belittles his son for all to see,keep up the great work 👍, your a shining example of how a father should be

Man that motor you built turned out good it runs nice.

Such a cool project for your boy 🤙🏻, he is really doing a great job. Love the multi purpose hats, works good as a bug swatter too 😂

Nice job! Engine sounds good. Steps backward are just part of working on cars, especially old ones…

Quality time Working on cars With my dad Was some of the best Memories I have These videos bring back memories being a kid and dad showing me how to fix hotrods appreciate the Entertainment Dalton @Pole Barn Garage

This is the kind of project he will remember forever. Damn good parenting!

50:13 "sounds horrible" Dalton my brother, that was the sound accomplishment! 🎊 Another great video from you and JD! 💯 💯 💯

Thank you for uploading this. I had an awful weekend and the neighbor I grew up learning repairing things from is gone. Your uploads really brighten things for me sometimes. On the Ford C6 I was taught that the torque converter seats in 3 steps and you want to be able to wiggle the torque converter stud side to side and that will show it isn't bound up. I've had my C6 out a few times and they are a pain but I still like my Fords.

I have found when I lube up my wheels of my cherry picker it makes life a lot easier. I just had to remember to do it before I lift an engine. Good to see a father teaching his son skills. 👍

Dalton, you are the best to watch now. Derek has gone to motor trend and you don't get the good bills that he used to do when he was bringing them back to life and I used to watch Kevin and Mook. But now when you watch Kevin, he has infomercials in the middle of his restorations earbuds and other sponsors and I don't think you get the true information anymore. He's too busy backing his sponsors but you are honest about everything and you work with your brother and your son and your wife. It's almost a family show. You've got a great sense of humor and I'm sure there's a lot of us out here that appreciate you. Keep up the good work!

They used to say on TV in Britain to "Reach out and touch someone" but once you've punched one face they're all pretty much the same! XD

I'm really looking forward to the paint and body stuff coming up. Don't feel bad about the trans, its a worse feeling when it gives out entirely just outside the "free" towing range of your insurance provider. That's gonna be a real nice ride when you're done and something to have a lot of pride in.

Great job, JD will remember these moments forever!

Hello JD & Dalton, I'm three months behind in this vlog but every time I want to comment I'm in trying to enjoy a self made ciggy. Now let me say I think Chevrolet had a phenominal design with their bat wing '59 Impala with its curved class windscreen and unique laid flat tail fins, BUT.... I can't throw the '59 Ford Fiarlane to the curb being my family owned one in the mid to late '60s. This car, your first Hot Rod JD, is awesome! The work you're putting into it will be a memory that stays with you for a lifetime. Also this classic end of the tail fin years design has its own rad design that I'll always be jealous of any owner of, as it is the first memory of the car my family owned. The work you and your father are puttng into making it a reliable Hot Rod will remain with you for your entire life. So just know it now, you are a very special young man to your pop and always give him props for this effort he puts out to help you with fostering a love for classic autos. This '59 is a fine looking and will always be a great car for you as the first car you owned, as they always are, forever. p.s. JD, it's good to see you have become more comfortable speaking in these vlogs, don't be shy JD, you are a natrual, whether you know it or not. And I'm happy to hear you speak more about the 'haps' as things are happening here.

I'm a fairly new subscriber, and this kind of vlog is why I watch. Reminds me of my father and grandfather and I out in the yard and me learning and passing tools. I miss those days both of them have passed on. Unfortunately my son had no desire to get under the hood, and my grandson lives a thousand miles away. So I get to relive a bit thru you're vlogs. As a matter of fact my grandfather drove a car just like this one when I was young.

It’s sure nice to see a father and son team fixing up an old ford! Keep up the good work and get some sleep!!!😂

Very Very Good. You deserve the FATHER OF THE YEAR AWARD!!! So glad that engine ran that good. Gives me insperation when I start on my 1965 Ford Galaxie 500 LTD Fastback restoration fe 352.

Great to see a Dad and his Son working together. My son and I are still tinkering with our old Fords. I'm now 63 and he's 35 years old. He's got a 64 Fairlane and I have a 63 Mercury. Fun cruising to shows together. Keep up the Good Work👍❤🙏😅

your son is a real trouper and will be a great worker in what efer he chooses to do

The engine compartment in JDs ford looks great! He is a lucky young man!

My friend, I love your channel. I am 61 years old and have been through everything you show. I do own a 65 GTO. I am second owner and a PHS certified car. When I get get stressed I detail it, jump in it with Koda(my dog) cruise around the block and if my stress level is high I get that 3rd gear chirp. Koda loves it more than me. Message me and I will send something your way. Keep up the good work with your kid. That is golden.

Really nice to see JD working with you on his first car. Its something he'll ALWAYS remember and so will you! Good times...and the car is gonna be outstanding! Well done!

Love the way you just wing things and have a positive attitude towards sometimes negative outcomes 👍🏻👍🏻

Love this video… good father son stuff… favorite is the fight scene with the wasp and the metal music… made me spit my coffee all over the bed

I’ve only been watching your channel for a little while. This is my favorite when you are working with and teaching your son. Reminds me of working with my dad when I was his age. 😊. Please keep this content going.

The time you get to spend with your boy is awesome.. You are a good Dad.

Hi really enjoyed this episode. Good to see the father and son doing something together.

JDs catch phrase is YEAH 😂every single video yeah yeah yeah

Great video, great to see your son working on his car, you don't see that a whole lot any more. Keep up the great work.👍👍👍👍👍

Little man is much stronger than he looks, good-job!,👍, I'll have to come back later to finish watching this, but great video so-far guys, thanks for sharing.

Car is coming along great! Can’t wait for next episode! So wonderful to see you doing this with your son!

How my people do I know who tell me "My ol' man was never there for me " or "My ol' man was a S.O.B." many of the people who tell me this are walking turds with arms and legs, hateful wretched excuses for human beings with no direction in life. Now look at your situation. You are taking the time and making the effort to be there for your boy. He's learning something every time you guys go into the garage, and he's picking up hands on experience that he'll use for the rest of his life. You're also earning his respect, the real kind that is given freely and is from the heart. Thanks to you, he's gonna have a fighting chance in life. I can see that you two are also having fun and making memories you'll be talking about when you're old, (You remind me of my Dad in a lot of ways. I was extremely lucky to have him.) You sir, are doing a great job making sure that there is at least one more good human on planet earth. You were a very funny guy when you were putting the goat together, and I laughed my butt off most of the time. Now I see from what you've been doing here that there's a lot more to you than just being funny. My hat is off and I say "much respect" Cheers!!

I click on these videos for the auto repair, but I watch them for the father/son interaction. Take it from someone who never got to do this with his dad: both of you are the luckiest people in the world.

about 50 years ago I was JD helping my dad. it is something he'll never for get. I've been a ASE master tech for 40 years. wat to go my young friend

Excellent. If it was easy doing what you and JD did then everyone would be doing it! Engine sounds great!

👍🇺🇸Good stuff! JD is an awesome worker! Right there w/ his Pop! Good on you!! I remember laying on the ground, helping my Dad install a trans in his ‘73 Buick Estate wagon. Everything done then fluid pouring from pump. Forgot to make sure front pump seal was in place. Removed trans & it had no seal! Anyway, I was 11 or 12 yrs old. I’ll never forget those times working beside my dad. He’s gone now but never forgotten. (RIP Dad, I miss ya sir)

Love how your straight forward manner keeps JD interested and learning from you. Your hands on teaching will go along way in future endeavors where the goal is a long way off. Patience is what most kids these days have little of. I have great respect for your knowledge of early generations of vehicles that don't have all these cool electronics but just the basics.

Lmao!! The bee battle was editing GENIUS!! 😂😂

What a gift to your son. Having these videos to go back and watch as he gets older is gonna be truly priceless.

Your videos with you and your son makes me think of the good times i had with my Dad. thank you!

Father and son projects make lasting memories. Keep it up.

Positive reinforcement by JD welcome while your knuckles are bleeding, a yes man always helps

Little man take it in and enjoy it.Give it your best if you forget or not sure ask dad that what he's for The little things will make good memories And you and Dad may not agree on something, but you're still lucky because there's a lot of young guys that don't have dads that will spend the time or take time for them trust me I know. Good looking car.

You are an incredible family, a true spirit of the United States, it is a pity that such family heirlooms remained only away from big cities. I hope this atmosphere will continue to be preserved in your family and will be transmitted further! Hello from Belarus!

Holley and You Sir are badass for making little man's dream come true !

Awesome to see the kiddo learning and working with dad. Kids need all the help they can get.

Really cool video glad to see you and jd building the car together, keep up the good work guys.

Great project for Dad and Son

The Ford FE engines are tuff I had 7 of them but never had one with automatic transmission I all ways have a manual JD spending time with you learning how to work on cars is priceless and it be his car.

Dangit, good luck on the trans and glad to hear someone on the internet will be trying to finish their project (paint/body) every set back you both get is showing that young man how to handle them Central California watching.

I love seeing the quality time you have with JD all I would like to see you do is get him wearing safety glasses, especially when he was using the drill with the wire cup.

im really glad i found this channel, love the father son build. looking forward to watching your other builds. keep up the hard work guys.

Best dad ever. Keep it up brotha! Watching you and your son is inspiring

It's really great to see you and your son working together really it does give some faith in the next generation he's so lucky to have a dad like yourself keep on learning jd hope you realize how lucky you are getting all the knowledge over the years good luck

We all have luck like that from time to time. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for letting people know what mechanic work is all about No fancy 10 million dollars cats, just old/new mechanic real tricks of the trade helpful hints and good ole American sarcasm. Awesome work

shes looking great and sounding great bossman :) Glad to see the kids big grin when she was running! Looking forward to the next update!

Hot roding at its best just cut and worry about it later Make it function and have a blast nice cross member @Pole Barn Garage

Hang in there brother hang in there JD

"Turn on your AC." Yes, I really miss those wing windows. I also want to thank you for these videos. Last night we started rebuilding an engine for my '69 GMC C25, and I'm so excited!!!

I'm a big fan of Ford FE engines and C6 transmissions. JD is building one rad car! 🤙🏼

better this than his eyes glued to a cell phone.this he will FONDLY remember for life and remember who worked on this beauty with him.....can not put a dollar value on what this would mean to the young lad. you have my utmost respect

Love seeing your son helping with his first hotrod! Reminds of me and my dad. Priceless!

kid's a worker. i love it

I'm an idiot when it comes to engines,but watching your videos has made me less of an idiot and I want to thank you.

Well here's ur comment and thumb good sir. 👍 been busy last couple weeks so got some catching up to do... glad she's a runner.

Awsome job.....keep J.D out there with ya he is getting a priceless education

great dad and son build

Awesome job, it's great getting the youth of today involved in vehicles as I did when I was young, granted I didn't have the knowledge you possess and still don't but I do love wrenching and appreciate all classics of yesteryear. Great content you always have me cracking up but yet learn something too and helps my creative side to think outside the box on somethings, I've now watched every episode. Love the rolled runner, and obviously the goat, and the story on the car you've had since high-school, thanks for the time put into these videos and key to success don't change who you are, your wit and personality will carry you far my friend

When I was young, my dad never sat me down and taught me anything. He would just wave me off and always made me feel like I couldn’t do anything. It’s so nice to see you teaching and guiding your son, he’s going to grow up to be a great man.
