1957 Pontiac Star Chief barn find in central Florida! Will it run?
I bought this car from a friend sight unseen, but it had been sitting for years. This is as close to a "barn find" that I've ever seen in central Florida, since we don't really have the typical barns that a lot of the country has.

    That's some pretty brick to work off of. Hate to see it get stained up with fluids. If the 6f35 has a torque converter shutter, I personally would replace the torque converter. When the TC goes, it spreads garbage throughout the trans and now it's a complete rebuild. I have rebuilt a few. Its a $3500-5k trans vs a TC replacement job.

    During my time as a tech at a Ford dealer they hired a service advisor who constantly pressured me to lie and upsell everything possible. Management was fine with it. At one point he was shouting at me to hurry on a low profile 4-tire replacement for a Mustang. I did the rush job he wanted and scratched at least two of rims, necessitating repairs that cost them way more than me just installing the tires carefully. Total, pathetic joke. And the egos, my god, the egos of people there.

    I thought it was a good video, but a little constructive criticism is you should have thought out the pad placement of the new pad in relation to the old pad, prior to starting the video, so the brake pad wasn't moved around several times. I think just place in the bed in front of the old pad would have proven your point and a matter of seconds. I hope you're not upset at my, as I say constructive criticism, but I think you can make your channel a lot better by, just thinking through your presentation a little bit more. Because I like your channel and I watch it often.
