As I watch your and Jenn’s videos, I think of what a wonderful treasure your daughter will have some day. I only have about a 30 second video clip of my father who passed in 2010. Your daughter will have hours and hours and hours of video.
That same exact thought crossed my mind too. When he picked that kid’s bike with training wheels…fast forward 4-5 years. Time flies and kids grow up fast.
A lot of people make you tube will it run videos. But NNKH videos have that je ne sais quoi. This can be due to the creators personality or technical knowledge, the subject matter, even the cinematic quality. NNKH videos have all of those. A bonus is the beautiful growing family we see. Really enjoy these videos, keep them coming !
Hi Chris, great video as usual. That whitewall that separated was something that you added to a black wall to make it a whitewall. I remember adding them to tires many years ago. Whitewalls were the rage for a long time. It was a cheap upgrade. I love watching your videos as you bring life back to so many neglected vehicles. John from Cape Cod
This just about put a tear in my eye. I've had a 53 since 2019, a 2 door hardtop with the three piece rear glass, in basically the same shape. Life has gone steadily downhill since then, and the poor old girl has just sat, waiting on the stars to align so I can get her going again. Hearing that flat 6 run really makes me wish I could've gotten mine going. It's also really nice to see the full maintenance paper ont he glovebox door, mine was almost totally rotted away.
Watching you work your magic on all these forgotten treasures is a thing of beauty! You definitely have that no nonsense know how! The icing on the cake is when Jen and Gus make an appearance and of course Turbo. Looking forward to meet your beautiful daughter also! Keep up the great work Chris! 💪🏼👍🏼
I've reduced the amount of channel I'm subscribed to... But NNKH is like mental therapy for me. The work you put in to salvage these cars, is motivation for me to never give up
Yeah, I need to do that too, as I must be subscribed to 50 or more channels now, albeit not all cars, but I love the one's with the 'Will it run' in the title! It then becomes a challenge, and Chris does all he can to get them to fire once again!
Those are the very old Nylon Ply tires , the separated white wall is not really part of the tire. Back then you could actually put the white wall part on separate. It was an added piece that got put on in the bead area, when the tire seated against the rim it would hold the white wall add on in place. Yup , it was a funky idea for sure !!
LOL Richard, you said what I was going to say. And the only reason I would know about the whitewalls being sold as a add-on is because I’m 73. I also bought regular gas for mowing yards for 17 cents a gallon!
@@berrystrim LOL , yes! I am 67 and have actually installed some of them. They can be difficult to keep centered, as the bead pops up it can off center them!
Chris, just wanted to thank you for making videos. My wife generally doesn’t care for most UA-camrs I watch but she’s become a hardcore NNKH fan, she even bought each of us a hat. We love road trips and exploring so your videos are perfect for us. She really likes updates from Jen and on Autumn and of course Gus!
Hey, awesome to hear that you and your wife enjoy the channel. Thank you very much for ordering hats as well! Greatly appreciate the support. We love doing the road trips and can't wait to get doing more of that in the future again soon!
Oh my God. This is unbelievable. I have been checking into the channel for the last 36 hours hoping something would pop up and I was even looking 30 minutes ago and nothing. Now I check again and I get to have my Sunday morning ☕️ with a huge dose of NNKH!!! Best day since yesterday!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 I am so glad that I found your channel about 4 weeks ago. That way everything is new, to me anyway… The knowledge and "backyard trickery" is phenomenal and better than most "taught" techniques. Keep up the great content!!!
This is an excellent video. A Master Class in determination and deployment of some real automotive skills. I must confess I let out a cheer when the elegant lady fired up. All the best to you from a new fan here in the UK!
My first car was a 1953 Plymouth just like this one. Paid $50.00 for it and it was a great car. I used it through highschool 9-12 grade. Never left me stranded. Great memories
396 BABY!!! Lorenzo is a master machinist. He reminds me of a shop owner I used back in the 80’s. He told me back then that remand engines were going to kill a lot of shops.
My Brother... I have to give you thanks for your inspiration. I have so many jobs that have been put aside over the years... and honestly, the list has become overwhelming. Watching your videos, I am looking at them with a fresh set of eyes... and getting things done! Yesterday, I rebuilt my massive HVAC unit. Today I am going to rebuild the front end of my vintage VW... and after that, I'm going to get my scooter running! Thanks again and keep up the good work! (Now,, if I could only back up a trailer as well as you do).
This video showcased endless talent. Chris's skills of course are always impressive. The engine guy...wow what a pro. The the Chevelle guy...so passionate and knowledgable.
Great work Chris, thanks for your videos. I am retired now, was a hearing aid specialist for 19 years. You might want to get some basic harbor freight ear muffs. Your 70 year old self will thank you.
Sometimes I feel like you give the big friday show a chance to get views because he kind of helps you a lot but the funny thing is I still want to watch your releases first. Even if it isn't friday. You never really complain about the job, and when you do, we don't feel horrible after hearing it. Glad and happy to be on this ride with ya.
I've been a subscriber for a few months now. I just wanted to say I enjoyed this video and I have enjoyed all of your videos and I still have some of the back catalogue to watch. I like the boats, the cars (of course) and the long trips to do fix and drive home videos. I like seeing the city when you do electric bike reviews and the towns and countryside you travel through on your way to get cars too. It is all great entertainment. I would like to restore an old car myself but I know it is not likely to happen. I enjoy watching you do it and I don't care about the other comments when viewers criticize and say you did something wrong. You do you Chris. It is all good. I wish you and your wife and daughter all the best. Keep it up for as long as you can and thanks again.
Chris,I ama 71 yr old Philly guy.Ur passion for older vehicles is so cool.I'm glad u found a home for the 53 Plymouth and the Camaro IROC.U keep living ur passion,sir and I will keep watching.Oh,owned a Kawasaki KZ400 back in the late 70's.Peace to ur family.......
Those whitewalls were an aftermarket item back when whitewalls were a popular option. They were more expensive, so you could buy those add ons and transfer them to you plain blackwalls to make them look good.
When I was teen, I got some from Z.C. Whitney and put them on my 1940 Plymouth, as the blackwalls that were on it were still good, but looked too plain for my taste.
Waking up to see another video from you. Click on it to hear Uranium Fever!!! It's gonna be a good day fixing to hit the junkyard, glad I get to check out another video this morning.
26:10 I found that Brasso is an excellent choice for that polishing. If you know some old army guys, they are sure to have a bottle in their shop somewhere!
Good story on the old Mopar my dad had one similar in65/ 67black red trim 👌. Once the Mopar story was over I’m gone 😢. Mopar old school for life 👌🇦🇺✌️.
My Dad had a Plymouth Savoy when I was 16 and this episode brought back great memories of my time with him. When you aired up those old tires I thought of the Rising of the Phoenix coming back to life. It was interesting hearing about your 396 engine restoration and about restoring the trunk bottom panels. that blue 396 Chevelle was so sweet to look at and hear running. So glad you love history of heavy medal - this was a great episode.
I'm impressed by your process in getting things started. The forced injectors on the Camero the other day was a good move somehow it worked. I watch your channel bc it gets interesting what you go through. U always manage to make something happen.
Great job getting that old flathead straight-6 running again. 👍 I hope the guy that bought the old car will restore it, and not just scrap it for parts. 25:40 I think the carb are made of a Zinc Alu alloy, which was used quite a lot back in the days. it's strong and cheaper than pure aluminium.
It’s funny how you say that people think New Jersey they think New York or northern New Jersey but I grew up in manayunk, and in my mind, I imagined all of New Jersey as farmland… with the best tomatoes in the world… anyway great show as always! Congratulations on the baby, I’m glad the old car got to see the light today again and hopefully will be restored and running and super happy that you’re taking care of the Chevelle… they are my favorite car, used to have a 67, but being a dumbass I sold it… and now I’ll never be able to afford another… See you next week!
Wow, I would have liked to known that Plymouth was a flip.. I had a '54 Savoy 2Dr in High School. I painted the engine white...lol.. Yep, JC Whitney and I got to know each other quit well. Thanks for the show. Find a 2 Dr '53 an let me know.
When this car was new, white wall tires cost more than black wall tires. You could buy just the white ring, and mount it on the side of the tire when the bead was broken. The white rings were inexpensive and could be used over and over, so long as the rim diameter was the same. During the early 1950's, most rims took 15 inch tires, such as this Plymouth. By 1957, some cars started using 14 inch rims so that the car could sit closer to the ground.
Every time I go to pull my trailer out, there will not be any traffic all day, the minute i open the gate it's rush hour on a Friday! Every single time! Lol!
As a long time hoarder of nuts,bolts ,springs and anything I found I can't fix I salvaged the usable parts . I had to unload most of it due to age & space restrictions . Your storage system for parts is awesomely mind blowing. I am increasingly in awe of your ability and patience to get rusted machines running after years of neglect . Sadly rust is the ultimate killer . Too bad more people living in "rust belts" don't invest in protective undercoating . Always interesting videos Cris ! 👍👍👍🥇🥇 rs
Thanks for the video first thing.and second I hope your's and Jenn baby girl is doing very well.and I agree 💯 about keeping it the original as much as possible.i really believe that everyone has really lost their minds wanting to go ls who cares I believe you can make a original 396 or whatever 60's and 70's motors even better than a ls . people always ruining the vehicle from the old days going to ls instead keeping it as it was meant to be.i am a old school guy that enjoys rebuilding older motors and trying my best to keep all of my old school vehicles old school.
He's from an ex-Soviet country and doesn't speak English at all 😂 how can you live in America with that level of speaking? 😂 Probably russian or ukrainian Michail "Михаил" like Gorbachev 😂
The body on this Plymouth was manufactured by Briggs Manufacturing who also made bodies for Packard - Chrysler bought Briggs with a loan from Prudential Insurance when Mr. Briggs died in either 1953 or 54 . Briggs had to sell in order to pay the inheritance taxes on the Briggs estate - this is one of the factors that took Packard down since Packard had to start making their own bodies once Chrysler took over.
Thanks for fixing these and sending them on to better homes. So many other "will it run" guys just pull a car from one tree line and get it running and then stick it in their tree line to continue rotting. Best wishes to the family.
Loved it and love the way you show us everything - good and bad! I also did a bunch of flatheads and learned to love them.❤ Too bad about the double handshake fail with MiK-Hai-ALE!!😂😂
I've been watching you for a while now, great 'short films' love it, I am amazed, I have a lot of 'stuff' and I do know where most of it is in my garages, when I want it, but you must be very neat and tidy when you go for a lead or a pipe its in the lead or pipe drawer! I spent a lot of my time making things tidy but am still in a mess, very methodical and a retired A/C engineer, but you are in a different league fantastic! Englishman from France!
Thank you for not relying on stupid 'catch phrases' and cutesy witticisms that are used over and over and over again like some channels. I won't mention names but the worst rhymes with 'Mice Flip Barrage'. I really enjoy how you don't rely on a schtick or have to pretend you're a comedian, you've found a great niche and your natural personality is compelling by itself. The bike trips through Philly are great! Keep up the good work!😉
funny thing is that is how a guy talks irl so it's not a catch phrase..don't be so arrogant ..why try to trash talk other channels when you can just keep your opinions to yourself, honestly i like only a handful of automotive channels b/c as a mechanic myself i can see what is true and what is for show..treat others how you want to be treated
Greetings from Sydney NSW: Roscoe, your comment is spot on! I know many blokes who refuse to click on VGG for that very reason. And thanks for your 'mice' clue. Cheers, mate.
Can not wait to see you and yours driving and riding in that restired SS. My dad had a 69 with a 396 in it. I live at the bottom of Illinois, and he used to take it to Benton, Missouri, and drag race it. Great times.
Great video! I really appreciate the link for that machinist. He know what he's doing and I love the knowledge from a guy that knows his trade. I will definitely follow this guy .
12:19 I split a sidewall while rock crawling in my jeep. About a 4” split and filled with plugs. Hit it with a blowtorch after. Ran it for 2 more years without an issue.
I am 51 and have probably installed 100+ of those plugs for myself, family, neighbors, friends, ect. I have yet to have a single one not last as long as the tire itself.
Chris , only watched a few of your videos up to yet , and we are hooked , already i would say you are at the top of the "will it run" guys , your knowledge is far and beyond anything I've watched to date , such a humble & polite person , love the channel , keep em coming !! 👍
How neat would it be to restore that old bike and make it ridable again! A present for Autumn. I have one I renewed from the 60's. A Raleigh. Just need a new chain, tires, lube the races or get new bearings. Basically already the stuff you know!!
That's the kind of restoration your looking for Chris Like the blue Chevelle ,Your channel is just the best Sunday morning viewing , I just really enjoy what you do ,and how you go about it
You picked the right channel name. Get it done great attitude no nonsense and amazing knowledge . One of my top 3 channels. Thank you😊
Couldn’t have said it better myself 🙌

I so totally do agree with you. The 'No Nonsense' aspect is appealing where the 'Know How' is intriguing.
I think Chris makes you feel like you are along for the ride rather than an outsider watching. Similar to VGG.
No, I was born in 1963 😀
Couldn't agree more ! My absolute favorite channel & that's saying a lot!

Hi Chris, great video as usual. That whitewall that separated was something that you added to a black wall to make it a whitewall. I remember adding them to tires many years ago. Whitewalls were the rage for a long time. It was a cheap upgrade. I love watching your videos as you bring life back to so many neglected vehicles. John from Cape Cod
back in the day they were called "Portawalls" havent seeen those since the 70's
I put four of them on my dad’s 1952 Ford. We called the Mickey Mouse walls.
Bought at general tire or pep boys
This just about put a tear in my eye. I've had a 53 since 2019, a 2 door hardtop with the three piece rear glass, in basically the same shape. Life has gone steadily downhill since then, and the poor old girl has just sat, waiting on the stars to align so I can get her going again. Hearing that flat 6 run really makes me wish I could've gotten mine going. It's also really nice to see the full maintenance paper ont he glovebox door, mine was almost totally rotted away.
Buy that house mate, start a crowd funding thing. That’s a beautiful house
I'll give money if this becomes reality. [Good idea]
@@My_Op This old house owner agrees. He has spent the last 10 yrs! restoring an 1815/remodeled 1886, "I" house.
It's been sold already.
Boring house. Need more ground, need more cars!
He showed the inside on an earlier episode. It looked like the garage.

I'm 70. I helped (kinda) my uncle that was a used car dealer. The name Porta Wall Brand comes to mind. Good to know we got our memories.

Mikhail seems like a solid dude. Love his 'handshake' style!😅 Bet he has seen some things in his lifetime and has some great stories.
it's dirty hands handshake
He's from an ex-Soviet country and doesn't speak English at all 😂 how can you live in America with that level of speaking? 😂
Probably russian or ukrainian
Michail "Михаил" like Gorbachev 😂
It's not a handshake style. People don't shake hands with gloves on where he's from
Hood looked almost perfect by the time u sent that 53 to its next home. Great video chris 🫡
The body on this Plymouth was manufactured by Briggs Manufacturing who also made bodies for Packard - Chrysler bought Briggs with a loan from Prudential Insurance when Mr. Briggs died in either 1953 or 54 . Briggs had to sell in order to pay the inheritance taxes on the Briggs estate - this is one of the factors that took Packard down since Packard had to start making their own bodies once Chrysler took over.
Thanks for fixing these and sending them on to better homes. So many other "will it run" guys just pull a car from one tree line and get it running and then stick it in their tree line to continue rotting. Best wishes to the family.
Лайк за Михаила. Привет из России!
God Bless 🇷🇺
Александр Зотов: Hello From Aurora, Ohio USA
Greetings from 🇨🇦
Привет ✌️
🇷🇺 From Russia with love 😊
Loved it and love the way you show us everything - good and bad! I also did a bunch of flatheads and learned to love them.❤ Too bad about the double handshake fail with MiK-Hai-ALE!!😂😂
Soon as I saw that bicycle I knew you were going to grab that for baby.
Nice find!
I've been watching you for a while now, great 'short films' love it, I am amazed, I have a lot of 'stuff' and I do know where most of it is in my garages, when I want it, but you must be very neat and tidy when you go for a lead or a pipe its in the lead or pipe drawer! I spent a lot of my time making things tidy but am still in a mess, very methodical and a retired A/C engineer, but you are in a different league fantastic! Englishman from France!
Thank you for not relying on stupid 'catch phrases' and cutesy witticisms that are used over and over and over again like some channels. I won't mention names but the worst rhymes with 'Mice Flip Barrage'. I really enjoy how you don't rely on a schtick or have to pretend you're a comedian, you've found a great niche and your natural personality is compelling by itself. The bike trips through Philly are great! Keep up the good work!😉
With you on that Roscoe
funny thing is that is how a guy talks irl so it's not a catch phrase..don't be so arrogant ..why try to trash talk other channels when you can just keep your opinions to yourself, honestly i like only a handful of automotive channels b/c as a mechanic myself i can see what is true and what is for show..treat others how you want to be treated
Amen. This channel is the real deal unlike some others that rhyme with rice trip
@@alanarcher5903Well I’ll be dipped we have a hater in the house. Funny how that guy has almost 2 million subs 🤔
Greetings from Sydney NSW: Roscoe, your comment is spot on! I know many blokes who refuse to click on VGG for that very reason. And thanks for your 'mice' clue. Cheers, mate.
I love that generation Mopar. Nothing fancy, just transportation.
Watching Chris pulling out the oil and thiught., “Sure hope that oil was under the car before the tires deflated, and not in the trunk.”
Can not wait to see you and yours driving and riding in that restired SS. My dad had a 69 with a 396 in it. I live at the bottom of Illinois, and he used to take it to Benton, Missouri, and drag race it. Great times.
Hey chris I live in Juliustown that’s pretty cool
0:00 my fave channel no BS straight to work and Amazing knowledge keep them videos coming
Nice to see Turbo kitty doing well.
That is a cool looking rescue cat.
He was in “mouser mode” immediately
Great video! I really appreciate the link for that machinist. He know what he's doing and I love the knowledge from a guy that knows his trade. I will definitely follow this guy .
I like the hand shake both times lol.

I split a sidewall while rock crawling in my jeep. About a 4” split and filled with plugs. Hit it with a blowtorch after. Ran it for 2 more years without an issue.
Grab a coffee. Chris is back. Did you find Jimmy Hoffa?
Love to see a NNKH notification ! Never know what youll get . One thing your guaranteed is an Episodic Adventure !
I am 51 and have probably installed 100+ of those plugs for myself, family, neighbors, friends, ect. I have yet to have a single one not last as long as the tire itself.
It's amazing that the tires took air!
I've never had a plugged tire fail
Chris , only watched a few of your videos up to yet , and we are hooked , already i would say you are at the top of the "will it run" guys , your knowledge is far and beyond anything I've watched to date , such a humble & polite person , love the channel , keep em coming !! 👍
How neat would it be to restore that old bike and make it ridable again! A present for Autumn. I have one I renewed from the 60's. A Raleigh. Just need a new chain, tires, lube the races or get new bearings. Basically already the stuff you know!!
It looks like a Lil chic. I restored a fairlady years back.
Thanks for saving that Plymouth and thanks for the update on that Chevelle. It’s going to turn out great!
Most awkward hand shake ever lol😂
That's the kind of restoration your looking for Chris Like the blue Chevelle ,Your channel is just the best Sunday morning viewing , I just really enjoy what you do ,and how you go about it
You know my man is kicking himself about that coil. I know I would be
Definitely upset about it. It was a nice coil. I trashed it.
I'm a machinist & that is excellent work. Good job, Lorenzo
7:14 that is a whitewall ring accessory
Came here to say this
Porta wall I have 3 sets
