This guy is an old-school mechanic the type that taught me how to turn a wrench in the ninth grade. Good to see others can learn the right way

You guys are incredible! And I love that you are able and willing to go around the country to help people out. God bless you both.

I am not mechanically inclined, but still, I am fascinated by things like this! This was absolutely amazing to me. Much respect to you and your lovely lady . From Grandma Linda in Martinsburg, WV. 🤓

Welcome to Illinois! Home sweet home. Glad you could find a survivor to save from the rust belt!

Well besides the small valve covers it was obviously a mouse motor…😂😂😂 Must say you looked quite aggravated from the start on this one. Good job holding back what you really wanted to say about this one! Being from IL myself and knowing the humidity I would’ve been swearing like a sailer..

you 2are great people to help out others god bless you both

Subscribed and liked. This guy is gold!! How can you not subscribe to this badass channel? We all wish we were doing this! Thanks for breathing life into these neglected classics, it's a shame to see these cars forgotten and cast to the wayside. You are great at this stuff, camera shots are fantastic too!

Great Video! Keep ‘‘em coming! Knew it had disc brakes by the size of the master cylinder!

Good cause, good man. The world's a better place because of folks like you.

What that rust I love these Revivals of these classic American muscle cars keep up the great work New subscriber here watching the video's friend 🇺🇸🇺🇸😃😃💪💪💪💪

I'll never understand why people let this happen.

That's in good condition considering where it was sitting for so long. Brings back memories! I had a 71 "Heavy Chevy" (look it up) in high school but my mom caught me hot rodding it and made me sell it. As soon as I moved out on my own I bought a 70 SS that someone had replaced the original engine with a Buick 350. After about a year I traded up for a 70 Malibu that was fully loaded; I swapped over all the SS appearance pieces to it. Unfortunately it got totaled a few months later, not my fault. Thanks for the memories!

I love rebuilding Q-jets. Especially the Carter ones, which were made in 1970, by the way. An 84 Honda carburetor is a nightmare to rebuild. Haha.

Congratulations on getting the car running again! I was worried that it wasn't going to work out, but you made it happen. Great job Richard and Christina!

Fixing cars is a big pain. Everyone who watches should subscribe!

Use to work those beauties years ago,here in Chile hard to find spare parts,maybe will go to usa.really enjoy your share work.

Watching from Atlantic Canada (N.B.) Great effort- clearly a lot of work, good thing the weather cooperated although hot out - and well worth it to see and hear it rumble at the end. Interesting to learn by observing the thought process as things progress.

400 small block has a big harmonic balancer, has 3 freeze plugs on the side instead of 2 on the rest of the small blocks, keep doing what you guys do and God bless you and your family's, thank you for the contents

Nice job...that must have been hell. Not sitting in it...wow, must be bad. You give me hope for my projects. Thanks.

wow nice to see it is complete

That Chevelle is almost identical to the one my cousin had, the only difference is his had a 307. Good memories! Awesome job getting her running again, hopefully the owner can get everything restored, I know it will be a beautiful car when he's finished with it. 😎👍👍 Thanks for sharing!!

Well you got it from one mouse power to a lot of horse power. My son's father-in-law would of had a heart attack with that mouse. Great job as always.

yes good job that was a hard one ,with the starter . but glad you got it out. of the holes lol thanks ..

Another great job with bringing the Chevelle back to life!

Great video, another Chevelle saved.I've got to go back and catch up on some of your other videos.I think I'm almost caught up.

Learn something new every day! I never knew why some GM starters had that spacer on some of the solenoids! I've always saved old starters to use for parts for repairs and always wondered why that was? Cool thanks for sharing!

Hey guys great video I can't wait until you take it out four wheeling love that jeep

Wow. Look at the chrome and the headlights on that car. Beautiful. It makes me think of my Uncle Johnny. Just the kind of car he would drive.

Congratulations on a great video Richard and Christina, very well done with a car that has a good future. You've also got some ideas of other tools, parts and equipment to take on future projects. Maybe some Febreze would have helped with the smell, at least for less odorous vehicles. I look forward to watching the next video.

I can empathize with you over pulling the starter in less than ideal conditions, I've done my share of that. Jack stands would be safer if you had some pieces of plywood under them to prevent sinking into soft dirt. I cut some scrap especially for this purpose, they dont take up much space when packing tools for a job like this. Safety first. Good to see one more brought back to life, hope the owner continues with this car. Great video!

Nice job or adventure... looks like a challenging and interesting trip.

So COOL to see the GEN XERS still chasing the muscle cars!! Wish I was with you on your adventures!

I will never understand why someone would let a vehicle like that sit outside for years and years baffles me.

Awesome job!! I know that heat can wear you out for sure! Great content !!

That's one smart fellow cornfield rebuild good job

Great video, this is the first vid. i've seen of yours will be wathcing more of you all.Be safe and God Bless!

I used to own a Buick just like the one seen by the road. I traded it in on a year newer one but same body style that was Burgundy with all the bells and whistles. I sold it when I retired as I couldn't justify a car and a truck. As good as that car was I am surprised GM let it out of the factory.

Admire your tenacity Rich!! You get an A+ !!!

Great to see the Chevelle running! Great work!!😁👍🛠️

I'm 10 minute drive and have tried to buy this for the last couple years. Left my contact info in the mailbox. Guess I needed a damn youtube channel to meet the owner.

It was awesome what you did but I do hope he just won't leave it there to continue rotting away. I really think its awesome what you do for these dying forgotten cars a second chance at life. I'll be standing by for the next video made me proud just by watching you sir God bless you.

Unreal! Great job as deap as that car was in the dirt its amazing its in the shape it is.

Hey Richard, Andy here. Been checking out your channel for quite a while. Today is no exception...totally impressed with how you kept on keepin' on with this one! Great job buddy.

First, thanks for that! Second, if he hasn't got a truck/tractor to pull that girl out, jacker up and pour some Sakrete in the ruts, come back next day, drop her down and drive off,(take a couple days if two ruts at a time is easier). But really, not actually driving her, whats the point, needs toeing. Thirdly, 12 years from now someone's going to make a video about trying to rescue this old 1970 Malibu sitting in a corn field with a VCR under one it tires. Great channel.

I enjoy your video's and am looking forward to the rest of them. We would like to get to know your wife too, if she agrees.

I respect you for all the work you did giving the chevy a new life

Great job on getting it running under less than ideal conditions. I always carry a couple of chains in my truck just in case something needs a strong pull!

Ah!! I have a dark green 70 malibu with a small block. This video warms my heart to see one being brought back to life!!

Hi from Scotland. Well Richard, & Christina, that looked like hard work. A nice enough car, but lots of work to get it breathing again. I enjoyed the new format with Christina giving some continuity in between you getting your hands dirty. It was great to hear it burst into life, and you certainly made an improvement in its idling. Initially I thought the timing was off when it started firing thru the carb, but that was 50% knowledge, and 50% guesswork. I’m certainly not as skilled or knowledgeable as you . Looking forward to the next one already. Take care.

yet another great video great content i realy loved this video you are awesome and your lovely wife hope there will be another i love chevelle great looking cars keep up the good work you do all the best to you and the boss keep safe xx

I believe the first item you pulled out of the quilt hole, the coiled hose with a gauge is a tire pump that you screw in to the smart plug hole.

It's really cool that you and your wife do this together. My wife helped me put a new motor in my Ranger and it was a lot of fun for us.

Maybe the owner could not afford to keep it on the road as he had other priorities such as his family and the business. I like the shot with him in the background holding out his phone to get the sound of the engine. Great video!

Good on you driving 5 hours and helping out someone been there minus the driving 5 hours. Good channel content and hope he does start driving it but have my doubts, it will likely sit somewhere else outside, hoarder was my similar experience but I got to work on a Model A. They love the free labor and parts. I subscribed. 😊

I was hoping the farmer got his tractor and pulled it out ! But all and all it was a good save.

I had one like that to had a lot of fun with it wish I had it now but that 400 small block is pretty rare hope it gets restored

When I was 19 (in 1977) I bought a 1970 Chevelle two door hardtop. Yes, it was a Super Sport, and had a 396 (402) engine. The paint was somewhat chipped in the lower regions (probably a fair bit of gravel road miles by the previous owner) but the body was in good shape. The interior was excellent. The car ran fine and it was my transportation for a couple of years. I'm 90% sure it was the same color as this car that What the Rust is working on. I paid $700 for it!!

As usual, another great video! And Christina is slowly earning her new moniker, “the Revivalette.” 😁

My first car in 1980 was a red 1970 Chevelle Malibu 307 auto, everything he did to this car getting it in running condition sure brought back memories! Starting out in life from the "other side of the tracks" surly became a gift as I learned how to do all my mechanic work to date on all of my company trucks and still change my own oil. Thanks for the memories!

He is tougher than me....no way I would this much work in the dirt....good job.....

Y’all are living the good life!… And also bringing dead things to life, another great video!

GOOD JOB , I ENJOYED THAT ALLOT

Another great video !!! You had to really put the work into this one, but it sounds pretty good . I am hoping that it does get restored, cause it will take a lot of work for this one . Thanks for the video and taking us along . I will see you all later, so take care and stay safe out there working on these vehicles . 🤗👍❤️💫

It's so good to meet your wife. You got a good 1!!!!##

One thing that keeps me watching your channel is your enthusiasm.

Wow what a fantastic effort, you most certainly put the work in. I have to say I'm glad it's not smellovision!! Most certainly looked a bit ripe inside especially the glove box. Mind you, you had an extra helper in the air filter 😆😆 keep up the good work. I'm liking the changes!! Looking forward to your next video jasper swindon Wiltshire uk

Loved the Pontiac LeMans hubcaps of that year. I was in first grade in 69 and our neighbors had one of those cars with the perfet hubcaps to put little pea gravel stones into the hubcap slots. He drove down the street and will never forget that sound...

Dad used to call those starters shoulder busters. Not a good time at all there is never an easy way. And "that wheel has a vcr under it" i couldn't stop laughing. Great work

On a farming channel I watch, the guy sold a sports car to a car channel which is also in my state. He did a cornfield engine swap. The engine was solidly seized!

Looks like you had to dig deep on this one. I think I like the channel name Prague life better. All the same tho. You should do an intro on your wife, so we all know who she is :)

Very nice to have your beautiful assistant with you hope you figure this car out im confident you will

You guys are awesome and cute too,nice job on the Chevy 400 ,LoveJim J&R mobile service and God Bless y'all and your critters ❤

That was such a good video so enjoyable. I'm watching while on my old yacht anchored at St Michael's Mount Cornwall UK on passage to the Isles of Scilly.

Tech tip of the day. Keep an old spark plug boot in your toolbox. You slide it on, start spinning it into its hole, and spin finger tight. You'll never have an easier time of threading one in. Never get it cross threaded either.

Great engineer in the corn field so I believe in your worthy knowledge. Trust you.

I would love to be there to help out my guy...great day to do it

Keep doing what you do. Get them subscribers up !

That's sad because that car did not deserve that treatment to be parked there and left to rot away but I'm happy your there to try and get it running so it can be moved from there and I hear the camera woman giggling her little giggles and I couldn't help but laugh

I see you bout like me I work on everything tfs good work

You Guys are living my dream, seeing all these old beauties! man takes me back for sure. damn shame owners let these cars rot away...

I was hoping that car didn’t come out. I don’t think that would have ended well. That was dangerous. I had a 76 montecarlo jump into gear and run over me about 35 years ago. That looked scary.

I just found your channel! Loved this episode! I’m anxious to watch more, stay safe and hydrated! I’m subscribed now!

LOL moving that blue plastic box

What the rust is going on? Cool chevelle well ill be dipped…💪🏾👈🏾

Except for the exhaust leak and the fuel pump,she sounds pretty healthy! Try and make a daily driver out of it. Tune up,and tires!

Excellent video Richard :) & Christine :) also that Chevrolet 2 door Chevelle car nice find and rare 400 Cubic Inches size 8 cylinder and Automatic also green color too ! Nice find too and very good work too! Hope see owner get fully restoration on and show to past to family members next generation too!

Richard, I really enjoy watching your channel. I really like seeing a good candidate come back to life. You are very knowledgeable and your spirit is wonderful. I pray for your strength and health cause I know you love what you are doing. I will continue to watch and share. I’m in class on every video. Be safe and continue what you like. I appreciate. You and your wife for the content.

Yep a friend of mine has a 1971 Impala convertible still in great condition and only 400 made. Had it since 1995 but just let's it sit. It is garaged though thank god.

Well you can tell she is a citty gal ...lol ...lord have mercy ...Don't stay out there too long might disturb the children of the corn ...

That car sitting where it is and sunk in the ground like that make me think the floors are rotted out and possibly the frame too depending on how much moisture there was under the car but in a grassy place with soft dirt does no favors on a cars undercarriage sitting a bunch of years.

GM always wants to run as long as it doesn't have a rod out of the block or a stuck valve which is rare. lifters seem to take a long time to pump up sometimes. great video!

It brings back a lot of memories, I had a 70 Chevelle in that color many many years ago, bought it to use as a winter beater , except mine had a straight six 250 which burned oil, but my interior was in great condition.. used to pack all my girlfriends in it to go skiing.. think I sold it for what I paid for it which was $400...

The guy leaves his Malibu out in a cornfield for 27 years and he's worried about somebody stealing it

Just wondering if you disassembled the solenoid and cleaned the contacts/reversed the slug there? We used to rebuild starters often for customers BITD. A lot of GMs had a reversable slug in the solenoid. Saved a lot of $$$ especially on the high torque models 😎 Great try - you got it running!

Wow... Such memories. I had a 70 base model in my teens that stupidly I sold for dirt cuz I couldn't afford to swap out the tired 307 and the guy that bought it T boned a truck. He was fine but he totaled it. Found that out when I tried to buy it back and was heart broken. Good video once again, and I'm with ya on the quadrajets. Always ran them when other kids swapped to Holleys

Great video! Good old wrenching. I learned how to fix old cars from my grandpa but he liked to seal up everything with tons of rtv. His running joke was he would seal up grandmas mouth with it if he could. Liked and subbed!

Unfortunately the car will be dragged to another resting spot where it will live out the rest of its life slowly rotting into the ground as it has done over the past 20 or 30 years i’ve seen it too many times.

Mark Cuban is that you?!

Subscribed and liked many times! Looks like I get to watch this one again, a great one!!

Good work To get her running once again But it blows my mind Why and how people leave their cars Sitting there to rot and rust Away PS then they say I'm going to make it Into a Show car When that's all I had to do is put it in the garage In the 1st place John From Winnipeg Canada
