Building hotrods from the bottom up from scratch. Trying to do it mostly right on a very limited budget. Maybe having a couple adult beverages along the way for those of you smarter than me to laugh at! We'll (me) will be working in the new home for my shop playing with junk, build'n stuff and having some fun not related to hotrods too!
dual carburetor synchronization the easiest way I've found
by making your own synchronizer assembly you can adjust your throttle plates so that they are exact and mere minutes Hope you enjoy the video

Now that I have power in the barn, I'm going to start doing more videos going wide open getting ready for the Power Tour in a few weeks.
Guts and a fire extinguisher!

Finally she spits fire again after a year. Life got in the way plus do many other projects that once again I'm under the gun to get ready for the power tour. This engine is built in previous videos, and the exact build produced 542hp on the Dyno, and almost the same torque. I ran out of time so was not able to get this one on a Dyno before moving, and I don't really care as long as it hauls ass...
homegrown exhaust is done!

2 used flowmaster mufflers, a couple used exhaust hangers and 100 bucks worth of Amazon pipe and it looks great. Can't wait to hear it later this week. Total cost: $200.00.

Found audio
Makn silent movie?
Radiator situation sounds messed up, hope the new one gets to you on time buddy, the video seems to have been cut short?
Oops, was rushing to upload and missed.
Looked like a pretty successful first run, very nice!!
Yes it was!
Congratulations are in order, great to see it on the road with very few problems hope you get it sorted out for power tour and keep it going! Definitely fix those brakes & clean that windshield lol Best of luck to you & we’ll see you in the magazines hopefully the long haulers
Congratulations John. Glad to see you got it out for a shake down. You're off to a good start.
Glad to hear that. Congratulations.
LEDs suck. I'm glad they still use incandescent lighting in their gauges. I do agree it's a bitch to get that out for no reason, but I prefer that it uses a good ol 1969 Dodge Dart marker light bulb that can be had for pennies by the dozen in any auto parts store on this side of the equator and doesn't destroy my eyeballs instead of a retina melting LED that costs a fortune to replace.
Working on the fly is good.
Gasser’s are the bomb I have a1964 Dart convertible I’m going to cut the middle out of and make a 2 seater gasser with a built slant 6 and 4 speed. My driver is a 1972 Charger Rally with a 512 six pack
Good job John always had faith in you You're making a believer out of me looking forward to seeing you on Hot Rod Power Tour. You going Sunday to register early?
I think so, staying in Nashville so may head up Monday
Great video sir! I felt your pain on the AN vent hose. Short hose with bigger diameter is always a struggle. The AC unit looks nice and the install is very nice. I think being cool is a number 1 priority in my book, both for you and the car. The list is getting shorter! I love this unique old car, and making it a gasser puts it over the top, along with the chop on the doors!
Thanks 👍
Nice
Great show as always, love your honesty & showing the mess ups that we all do along the way
I try
I want to hear it and see it drive, I got a feeling you may need wheelie bars lol
That's the plan!
Such a unique and very cool car! I can't wait to see you driving in the power tour!
You and me both!
Let’s go!
Rust with an engine. What a combo!
Yup, has a bunch but other than the rockers the body is solid. Typical floor pans and rockers like most old cars.
Looks like it would be hard to get in and out of but it’s cool very odd looking but cool! I’d drive it lol
It's tough. I'm 6'+ and it's like putting a bucket through a keyhole!
How do you get in the car with the seat so close to the steering wheel? I'm a slim guy and I don't see me fitting.
I'm 6'+ and it's interesting at the least. Head and shoulders in, then butt. Right leg then sit and twist. Picture twister in a closet!
Looks and sounds badass 👍👍
Thanks! I haven't even tuned it yet!

I got the 49-54 chev spindle kit. Mine did come with a diagram and shows the bearing on the bottom
Yeah, and I knew better, just so excited I guess I overlooked when I flipped it over.
Hard work in paying off!
Yeah, been a while coming, I now have 30 days to make it drive 1,000 miles.
She lives! Sounds good, but too bad about ignition box, parts are not the same quality they were years ago.
Yeah, right? Originally these boxes were made by a company that made another Big name in multi spark discharge. Manufacturers change, and the boxes are no longer repairable. So 2 in the garbage. I'm ordering a spare for the trip if this one makes it through more than 5 minutes of running. It's not over charging, voltage is good, I've checked everything that could possibly cause it and nothing but a junk box. I do not hold it against Summit, they stopped selling it apparently a while back. Lesson learned: don't buy too far in advance planning your build, it'll bite you off warranty runs out before you use.
Looking good.
Thanks 👍
Looks good
Thanks!
Can't wait to see this very cool and unique ride tooling down the road!
Hope to be driving this week!
That weld is as good as I've seen! I'm anxious to see you working on this again!
You and me both!
*PromoSM*
Very pretty unique and somewhat rare car. It's a shame that someone did such shabby work on the drive line. It sounds like you've identified a lot of areas for improvement. I'm sure it is going to be a MUCH nicer car once you get it all sorted out. I'm really anxious to see your little wagon in action!
Thanks, yeah I'll make it right. I often see great plans go bad from bad advice and hoping skills are good enough. Welding cannot be cheated on though, nor can structural strength.
Chevy S10 rear end may be what you want. It’s about 56”-58” width outside drum to drum…………..
Yup, that's what I'm thinking also, will know more once I get to work on it. Thanks
Is the cooler full of beer? Not enough!
Just fall down, you'll find the floor in no time.
i see myself in this ! at the beginning 😂
That's nice I got a complete 55 Ford straight axle front end for 250 bucks gearbox everything baby
Making yourself at home 🏘️
Looks like a goldmine to me buddy
The cover was a Gordita SUV cover, 34 bucks on Amazon.
Looks like a cool place to spend an afternoon.
Bobby there are so many cool cars. A65 GTO, 65 442, 68 GT 350 convertible, just amazing. Guy is a hoarder, buys everything and sells almost nothing. I'm working on buying a couple I hope.
Wow
Oh man sorry to hear that wish you luck.
May have already found a case for 200 bucks with 86,000 miles
Thanks for ruining an extremely rare Chrysler wagon. Now it's just junk.
Did you not read? I bought it this way. Damn man read a little.
Didn't watch the video, did ya.
Promo'SM ✨
Destroyed a beautiful car
I didn't destroy it, it was destined for the scrap yard, already shortened by someone else in the 90's
Definitely different and you won't pass another on the road. Enjoy the build.
Lov it!!
The second Mopar I've seen today with a chevy 383 engine
Someone had put a 400 mopar in it, but I had this idea on mind and kinda fell upon this body so...
A definitely different Hot Rod for sure
