Fill with propane and the tires will get you home or loaded

Looking good as it is with the potential to be a real beauty like the Oldsmobile. And I'm one of those rare individuals who prefers 4 door cars. I started out with a 66 Catalina wagon and got hooked on the practicality.

Great video! Keep us posted on the Chevys future

Another great video, awesome car to get running. Greetings and happy Thanksgivings from California Mr. Vintage.

Nice intro Austin. Charlie & Violet were so excited!

Great news getting it running Looking forward for the next episode

Nice demonstration, thank you. I am imagining what tools were available in this era. Chain saws would be much less common, and a lot heavier. this would have been a helpful tool for the farmer.

Used one of those saws for years to cut up limbs. Faster than the chain saw

Yikes! All i can think about is a tooth flying off that blade. Id never line my body up with it.

You appear to have all your body parts. But the wiggle in that feed makes me think of the blade catching a log in the cross feed (as it racks a bit) and throwing it. I did this once on a table saw using a cross feed. A four by four about three feet long was thrown hard. It missed my head -just- and put a hole in the wall.

My first car was a 54 Super 88, two-tone green and white. It looks exactly like that 98 except the engine is red. My engine was green with yellow writing on the valve covers. I miss that car sometimes. The "hang-on" strap for the backseat brings back memories of holding on when My grandad drove us to the beach in it! Nice video!

Glad to see you again. It's been a while.

I had one of these. Used it once. Then sold it. I didn't have a need for it. I cut all my wood to length as I'm cutting it up. Nice display and video. Great work!

Listen to your wife. She is a smart lady. You will shoot your eye out

Nice work

I have the electric option (extra $35 I understand!). Is the motor serviceable?

At last. Someone who actually knows how to restore a straight razor. As a straight razor restorer myself I salute you. Nice job. Looks like mid to late 1800s??

My husband and I just got married and bought a house,it just so happened to have this exact model waiting forgotten in a dusty corner of a room. It's an absolute beauty and we are dying to get it back into working condition. No one in the area seems to know anything about them, this might be just the video we needed! Thank you!!

what does filling with salt do??

Very well done! Good info here. Nice camera, sound and editing. Bravo.

I’d love for you to restore mine.

I’d love for you to restore my old strop. Let me know if you are interested.

Put a real record on there, like Warings Pennsylvanians.

I'm going to try my second attempt (and second piece of cloth) using this method. The old RCA radio I'm working on has the cloth mounted on standard corrugated cardboard which has a slight curl to it.

Do you have any for sale?

An original interior with the refrigerator door intact. Such a good find for a restoration.

How much does it cost to have a radio like that restored?

This is a rare find of a video. Typically, I have seen the restoration videos on the rounded Hehr windows, but this is the first one I have come across that has shown how to restore the older squared off windows. Thanks!

V8 sounds so special.

good restore. needs a real sharpening though

What a cool little gizmo! Even such a simple utilitarian item such as that was designed with care, with those rounded-off fins giving just the slightest hint of art-deco. Built to last and looked good doing it.

So glad to see you back. What a unique yet simple piece of machinery from back in my youth.

Nice job

Currently cleaning/restoring an oil lamp but it didn’t come with the foliage so do you just place the fake foliage into the same hole as some of the monofilament lines?

wear GOGGLES when drilling!!!!!

70 años de edad y a pesar de todo está altivo como un jovencito.

Totally bogus the whole process repairing the motor is a very difficult job which you don't even master

💋

Not a lot of difference with the 55. I had a Holiday, never let me down.

we like details over music.

Bella radio!!

Absolutely beautiful restoration 👏👏👏 May I ask, how you went about removing the front and rear bumpers? Thank you for your time and have a great day 😊😊😊

Being a fellow tin canner restorer here in Michigan, Thank You for your how too video!

Thank you for restoring and preserving this beautiful machine! Looks awesome.

Have you tried putting citric acid inside the fount? I don't know where I went wrong with my 335 lantern but I found out the hard way there was a type of rust protector on the inside. I didn't have a tool to remove the check valve so I worked at it for a 1-1/2 days of spraying carb cleaner into the valve to clean it up. After I got the valve working I put a citric acid solution on the inside of the fount to clean up any varnish because I was rather certain the previous owner left it full of pump gas until it evaporated dry. When I was rinsing out the tank all this paint came off the inside of the tank. Internet said using both carb cleaner and citric acid was okay. I hope it doesn't rust away too quickly now.

Can you use any kind of cloth or is there a specific type to buy? Mine radio isn’t functional and I’m just restoring it for the aesthetics.

I have a Radiola 20 model AR-1440 I’m trying to restore and am needing parts for. Where can I get those?

I have a SmokeMaster 'Custom Made' Prince shape from the same era. The pipe was so used by the previous owner there is a shine from his thumb rubbing on the side of the bowl and over the shaft. Best smoker I own out of all my pipes.

Wowzeeee thats burning super 🔥! Nice Lantern what year is it?

In 1972 my family moved to a 545 acre farm in Missouri. A month later my dad drug my uncle's 54 Olds from the shop where it had been setting for several years after the transmission went out to the farm. He put it out in the lot in front of the barn. I was 5, my 2 sisters were 8 and 10. My dad said, "Here you go, have fun!" We played in that car for hours and hours. I usually got to "Drive" and we went all over the world. Africa, Europe, China and even the moon!!! We put a few million miles on that old car even though it never moved. We named her Ol' Blue and my oldest sister even painted the name on her hood with some old tin paint we found in the barn. In 1974 my cousin came for a 2 month visit. He was 15 and a total car nut. He fell in love with the car and my dad agreed if he could get her running he would sell the car to him. My cousin dragged me to every local junkyard where we collected parts. A new pair of tail lights (the horses had broken the original ones), a piece of side trim, a couple of door handles. My cousin was trying to earn enough money to get another transmission but they were like $15 at the salvage yard and that was a lot of money in the summer of '74. He left and never came back for Ol' Blue. The next year my parents split up and my mom moved to a town 45 miles away and us kids went with her. My dad sold the farm and worse off he sold Ol' Blue to the local salvage yard. Life went on but I always wanted a '54 Olds. Well, three weeks ago I bought 2. They were in a salvage yard full of old cars and they were headed for the crusher if no one bought them. They sat in that yard for 60+ years side by side. Unfortunately one is in really bad shape so it will give it's life to save the other. I got them both home last weekend and the better of the two is now setting in my shop where the restoration has already begun!!!
