Dylan! Get yourself a knotted cup brush and put it on an angle grinder to do your rust removal. You'll need to wear a face shield to keep the "cheek pokers" away, but it'll work about 5 times faster than that drill... 800 rpm on a typical corded drill vs. 5,000 or more on an angle grinder.
Your whole “while I’m in here” and “no one will know but I’ll know” attitude is highly commendable. What I was taught is to do a good job even when no one is looking or no one will see your work. “Do it right or don’t do it at all” was my father’s mantra. Sounds like it’s yours too. Well done.
I learned from somebody a long time ago (I honestly don't remember who, though) to always make sure it is cleaner when you put it back together than it was when you took it apart.
I'm glad he did it. Nobody will see it, but the rust won't open up holes, and when it's time to work on it again there won't be a lot of dirt and rust getting in your face every time you touch it
Im so with you on the underbody detail, no one can see it, but does everyone agree we drive it with a smug look on our face knowing its all good under there ?? 😂 im so impatiant for the rest of the episodes on this car being a long time christine fan, keep up the good work brother 👌🏾👊🏾
just a word of caution from an old man who worked in a Chrysler garage for years and then built around 20 hot rods-street cars and raced a few of them, all chrysler products. don' wear yourself out by putting it in and taking it out, then doing that again, and again. Complete what you can afford and want to get done in a sensible chronicle order. I found out the hard way , that doing Chrysler products is very time consuming but satisfying. very little comes easy but you will end up with something that you can be very proud of and will last for a long time. Collect all the chrysler Power magazines you can as well as mopar muscle magazines, you can. they are full of articles that will assist you.
If you live in a rust prone area of the country painting the underside of the car is a must, those stainless lines are a good idea too if you don't want to deal with brake lines rotting out again right away.
I am so pumped for the final outcome of this car. Some new door glass, maybe patch the holes in the quarters, hit some of the exterior with some Poppy's Patina, and with those cool polished slotted wheels it's going to look SICK! I'd LOVE to have that car in my driveway.
I'm falling in love all over again with cars of that era. I remember my dad had Chevy's, then Pontiac's and then Chryslers. The first one I remember is a 1955 Chevy 150, then a 1959 Pontiac Bonneville (huge vehicle), then a 1963 Pontiac Catalina - loved this car. Well, it costs so much now to find one that's restored to drivable condition and that's why I like your videos so much. I'll never have one of these cars, but I love looking at them. Keep up the good work!
I'm very impressed. I can't stand seeing cars all shined up on top and yet underneath all rusty and neglected; you can be polishing the top whilst the underneath is laughing at you. If I went to buy a car and the top was all dolled up, but the underside looked like this one did before the work, I would walk away as to me it's a half-job. What you've done is preserve and that is key to keeping an older vehicle on the road.
My dad always told me if you’re going to do a job do it right or don't do it at all. What he taught me was take pride in what you do. I see that you take pride in what you do this is why I enjoy your channel.
Hey Dylan: With only a week to go before the Holley-Mo-Party, the '58 Savoy is becoming road and race ready and ought to be killer once it's completed...Just have to get the window glass together and you'll have one beast of a ride!!!! From the home of PB Blaster, Cleveland, Ohio.....Can't wait to see the finish of the build!!!!
Hey Dylan: With some three and a half weeks more to go before the Mo-Party on September 16th; watching this Savoy come together is like actually watching the movie Christine. (Without the carnage and bad language, of course) The undercarriage and engine drop were especially top notch and I can't wait for the next installment of the series!!!! "This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it..." (Psalm 118:24) From the home of PB Blaster.... Cleveland, OH......
If that Poppy's stuff can be sprayed you should put it in a little handheld pump sprayer. It'll go on a hell of a lot faster and reach areas that will be harder to do with a brush. Being upside down, it will keep you from having drips running down your arm.
I have always loved cars and I got a 56 chevy and this series has been so inspratinal to me in my "roadstoration" and learing all the little things I can do to make myself feel better about my car and making it look a little bit better. Thanks Dylan
My hats off to you I am building a 47 Old fastback gas tanks out rearend will be out as I have to mount tube shocks mounts knee actions suck but same deal I just cant not clean and paint or undercoat. ggood job
It’s so cool that you detailed the undercarriage!! You put time into the little things and truly it will make a difference people will notice, just like the Challenger build and the Charger build and the Mustang build, Can’t wait to see the rest!!! Awesome build Love the channel God Bless
I love that you care enough to tidy up the underside while you’re there. That’s some thing that always bugs me when I see something unfinished that could have been fairly easily corrected. Not that I could do any of this stuff… I’m a 78 year old lady, but I love to watch you do it… Sort of like spending somebody else’s money!
I'm sure you've already addressed this, but it'd be really cool to see that e-body rear end get a posi, a 3.73 center section, and some stronger axles before it goes in. I realize that this has no bearing on such an awesome old car, but I REALLY wish that I would've kept my 1984 Ramcharger with a 360 LA and a 727 with a NP205. It was strong, it ran great (other than the constant vapor lock), and it would literally go anywhere on the 33x12.50s that was on it with slotted wheels. It spent its whole life up here in the NE, so the quarters and most of the lower body panels were constructed of old newspaper and fiberglass, but I could've replaced the majority of that with fresh sheet metal. Instead I swapped in a 1997 5.9 Magnum and a 5 speed manual and I never got it running right. I sold it for scrap...$400...after I spent $700 for the engine, $250 for the trans, and I sold it while I was going through some really tough times. Damn I wish I would've had some foresight because I'd LOVE to have that thing right now the way that it was when I bought it.
Yup, rough times are the demise of untold numbers of cars & trucks that we all wish that we should have never let them go. I, for one, have had to do the same, but I had 3 of them. First was my 70 Plymouth `Cuda, 383, 4 speed, Hurst pistol grip shifter, sniff. Second, 70 Chevelle, 350, 4 speed, SS dash and a bench front seat. Metallic maroon, black vinyl top. Third.... 1968 Chevelle, 327, powerglide Trans, bench seat with hounds tooth interior. Baby blue, white roof, dog dish hubcaps. A factory sleeper. She was FAST and quiet as a mouse. Sneaky little thing. It belonged to the cutest little blonde, that ended up becoming my girlfriend. One year later, my wife, and 37 great years later, still together and having fun.
I thought you would be proud of me as I roadstored my 74 Dodge van. I can't help but think of you every time I see a mopar.The engine was great. Just had to clean the carb to get it running. Cost $0. 727 trans got a new filer, gasket and fluid. Brakes got a new master cylinder. Total cost to make it drive down the road, just over $200. The 12+ year old battery still started it too.
Dylan, love this video, so cool to see older cars saved from the junk pile. That said, I wish you would have kept the auto transmission with the push buttons. In my opinion that feature is what makes these old Plymouth cars so unique.
Dylan at 10:10 for me in that position it's about future proofing the vehicle so I don't have to do the same job or same area again in 2, 5, 7, 10 years. Don't get me wrong there's definitely a place for bodgeniring and improvise, adapt and overcome. Especially in Bangernomics.
I like the way you're very detailed oriented Dylan. Don't apologize for getting sidetracked taking care of something that needs to be done. The old Plymouth is coming along nicely and keep up the great work 👍✌️🇺🇲
The ‘58 Plymouth is a very cool car. I’m really enjoying your choices and dedication to putting it back on the road better than ever. I’m even getting used to “patina.” 😆
You did the right thing to protect the sheet metal by paint and undercoat looks good and the metal is protected. The 318 looks good painted silver I never thought of using the color on a engine before. Plus if you have any oil leaks they would be easier to find too and that’s a plus too. Looking forward to seeing the next video Dylan. May you have a Blessed One Sir.
This week on "While I'm Here"...😁 You know, I have been there. I set out to do 1 or 2 things on the car, and the next thing I know, the sun has set, and I didn't even stop for lunch just because I have to fix or readjust something that no one else will see. But once it's done, you no longer have to worry about it.
The 1958 Plymouth uses T-3 headlights. I see that they are still available and I saw a set of 4 which cost about $150. There are some new replacements made that are brighter than the originals, but it was not stated as to whether they use more current in the ad I saw. In any case, you may want to get a new set in case you plan to be on the road at night. Hope all the work goes well so you can make it to the get-together! Have fun and be safe!
Before dropping the new engine, it was time to replace the steering system with a safety one that fits. The steering wheel will not kill the driver in case of a front crash.. Thanks.
Couldn't agree more about brake lines. It makes me insane how many try to get away with it. Just put new in for peace of mind. I've put new brake lines in my truck 3 times just to be good to go, once when I got it 10 years ago, again when I rebuilt it 3 years ago, and again a yearlater in the front because I had some chaffing issues. But I don't do a pretty job lol. Just get it in there and make it work 😁
Dylan, thanks for all the 58 Plymouth uploads. I got into cars because of christine and having a 58 Plymouth is a dream of mine. Even though I'm somehow a Ford guy now, I still do love mopars. She may not be a hardtop but regardless she is nice. These cars seem to be getting harder to find. This is a segment I've deff been following.
Dylan! Get yourself a knotted cup brush and put it on an angle grinder to do your rust removal. You'll need to wear a face shield to keep the "cheek pokers" away, but it'll work about 5 times faster than that drill... 800 rpm on a typical corded drill vs. 5,000 or more on an angle grinder.
Correction...about 7-9 thousand on an angle grinder depending on brand.
Yes! I used a needle scaler and a coarse cup brush on my truck frame that was super rusty, it took it down to pretty kuch clean steel
Yeah that’s all I use, u can lean into them and just hog that rust off
I also prefer the wire cup brush on a grinder.
It can be faster, but I have caught a bolt, frame rail, etc and had kick backs. Catch one to the chest, they feel great. Lol
She’s coming along!
Your whole “while I’m in here” and “no one will know but I’ll know” attitude is highly commendable.
What I was taught is to do a good job even when no one is looking or no one will see your work.
“Do it right or don’t do it at all” was my father’s mantra.
Sounds like it’s yours too.
Well done.
I learned from somebody a long time ago (I honestly don't remember who, though) to always make sure it is cleaner when you put it back together than it was when you took it apart.
Yeah, we didn't do things "half-assed" in my father's garage either. Or anything else for that matter.
I was very glad to see you painting everything under the car. When you get that done, that old Plymouth will thank you for preserving it
I'm glad he did it. Nobody will see it, but the rust won't open up holes, and when it's time to work on it again there won't be a lot of dirt and rust getting in your face every time you touch it
@@jonathanryan2915 Not to mention you can wash the undercarriage with confidence knowing you aren't helping rust progress.
Absolutely love this build. Everybody's doing Challengers Canaros or Mustangs. Refreshing to see a cool old and unique car brought back to life
I am really enjoying this 58 Plymouth series. Keep the videos coming!
Bro I love this car
I love inline tube 👍
Looking better every episode
Im so with you on the underbody detail, no one can see it, but does everyone agree we drive it with a smug look on our face knowing its all good under there ?? 😂 im so impatiant for the rest of the episodes on this car being a long time christine fan, keep up the good work brother 👌🏾👊🏾
Oh yeah. Smug asf knowing my floor pans aren't gonna be rusting anytime soon.
I’m the same way knowing even parts that no one else can see are looking good. Less anxiety that way
It gives you confidence that’s for sure. I’d do and have done the very same thing. Years later, looks amazing under there.
Making progress friend.
Much respect for taking the time to do it right, and not just being OK with "that's good enough".
just a word of caution from an old man who worked in a Chrysler garage for years and then built around 20 hot rods-street cars and raced a few of them, all chrysler products. don' wear yourself out by putting it in and taking it out, then doing that again, and again. Complete what you can afford and want to get done in a sensible chronicle order. I found out the hard way , that doing Chrysler products is very time consuming but satisfying. very little comes easy but you will end up with something that you can be very proud of and will last for a long time. Collect all the chrysler Power magazines you can as well as mopar muscle magazines, you can. they are full of articles that will assist you.
If you live in a rust prone area of the country painting the underside of the car is a must, those stainless lines are a good idea too if you don't want to deal with brake lines rotting out again right away.
I have the utmost respect for a man who can put heart,soul,blood and tears into a project. Getting your hands dirty on a build shows character.
I am so pumped for the final outcome of this car. Some new door glass, maybe patch the holes in the quarters, hit some of the exterior with some Poppy's Patina, and with those cool polished slotted wheels it's going to look SICK! I'd LOVE to have that car in my driveway.
Such a cool build, can’t wait to see it running.
Looking good, Dylan! That shiny silver engine looks great in the detailed engine compartment. Hope it runs as good as it looks!
I started watching as soon as I was notified. I love this car and I'm loving this series
Very different machine
I'm falling in love all over again with cars of that era. I remember my dad had Chevy's, then Pontiac's and then Chryslers. The first one I remember is a 1955 Chevy 150, then a 1959 Pontiac Bonneville (huge vehicle), then a 1963 Pontiac Catalina - loved this car.

Keep up the good work!
Great job, looking good, can't wait to see it running on the road, better off painting the whole floor, all the best to you and your loved ones
I'm very impressed. I can't stand seeing cars all shined up on top and yet underneath all rusty and neglected; you can be polishing the top whilst the underneath is laughing at you. If I went to buy a car and the top was all dolled up, but the underside looked like this one did before the work, I would walk away as to me it's a half-job. What you've done is preserve and that is key to keeping an older vehicle on the road.
I can’t believe what you can do all by yourself. MamaCard from Florida is impressed.
Thank you for sharing and the appreciation Dylan
My dad always told me if you’re going to do a job do it right or don't do it at all. What he taught me was take pride in what you do. I see that you take pride in what you do this is why I enjoy your channel.

From the home of PB Blaster, Cleveland, Ohio.....Can't wait to see the finish of the build!!!!
Dylan, this channel is great for everyone. For me, I like it because you are not afraid to swim in the deep water. Best of luck to you.
Never been this early to one of Dylan's videos!
It’s getting there
Hey Dylan: With some three and a half weeks more to go before the Mo-Party on September 16th; watching this Savoy come together is like actually watching the movie Christine. (Without the carnage and bad language, of course) The undercarriage and engine drop were especially top notch and I can't wait for the next installment of the series!!!!

You are one of the very few people who can make it. I trust you
Doesn't matter that nobody will see it it's very satisfying to see the under body done and obviously it adds years to its life, good job man.
Dylan you are doing a great job keep it up.
Great job young man! Keep up the awesome work
If that Poppy's stuff can be sprayed you should put it in a little handheld pump sprayer. It'll go on a hell of a lot faster and reach areas that will be harder to do with a brush. Being upside down, it will keep you from having drips running down your arm.
I am so glad you painted the underside of the car
There are so many channels out there swapping the petrol tank and not painting the underside
Is it just me but I actually love it when he makes the stuff you can’t see actually nice
It's looking good. You might want to eventually get rid of those leaf springs with the helpers and get some new ones or have a leaf added.
I have always loved cars and I got a 56 chevy and this series has been so inspratinal to me in my "roadstoration" and learing all the little things I can do to make myself feel better about my car and making it look a little bit better. Thanks Dylan

God Bless
That silver is pretty slick in that bay!👍😎
Looking gooder
Good progress 👍🇲🇰
Looking forward to the completion
I love that you care enough to tidy up the underside while you’re there. That’s some thing that always bugs me when I see something unfinished that could have been fairly easily corrected. Not that I could do any of this stuff… I’m a 78 year old lady, but I love to watch you do it… Sort of like spending somebody else’s money!
Wow, you really do great stuff. Love these old Mopars

You are living my dream. I hope too seeing this till the end.

A few towns over there is 50's model fire truck just wasting away. Every time I pass by it I think of you and Junkyard dig's.
Dylan, love this video, so cool to see older cars saved from the junk pile. That said, I wish you would have kept the auto transmission with the push buttons. In my opinion that feature is what makes these old Plymouth cars so unique.
Love those wheels and tires.
Man, I want that car! Looking wonderful!
Finally! Been excited for this part.
Nothing wrong with you cleaning the undercarriage. You know yourself it looks great! Wow looks incredible! Engine looks so good!
Ill be at Moparty. I'll have my Challenger RT there. Can't wait to meet you and see your cars man!
Dylan at 10:10 for me in that position it's about future proofing the vehicle so I don't have to do the same job or same area again in 2, 5, 7, 10 years.
Don't get me wrong there's definitely a place for bodgeniring and improvise, adapt and overcome. Especially in Bangernomics.
I watch alot of UA-cam channels. This is by far my favorite current build!!!
I really enjoy all the detail put in to assure it won't continue to rust. Great Job Dylan.
I like the way you're very detailed oriented Dylan. Don't apologize for getting sidetracked taking care of something that needs to be done. The old Plymouth is coming along nicely and keep up the great work 👍✌️🇺🇲
Looks great Dylan, looking forward to seeing more of it.
Bravo, another fanastic update.
Can't wait this build is cool loved this model from the Christine movie 😍
It looks Dyan 👌 congratulations
Looks real good Thanks for sharing
Dylan you got the REAR AXLE dance down!!!! Old one out New one in!!!! Good job!
THANKS DYLAN,, ITS STARTING TO COME AROUND.. THE PAINT JOB UNDERNEATH GREAT!! THE ENGINE MCCOOL.. PEACE!!!!!!!
Good to see you
You too
Looking good, Dylan.

A car like that deserves the attention to make it nice and stop the rust
nice work, cant wait to hear it run
This week on "While I'm Here"...😁
You know, I have been there. I set out to do 1 or 2 things on the car, and the next thing I know, the sun has set, and I didn't even stop for lunch just because I have to fix or readjust something that no one else will see. But once it's done, you no longer have to worry about it.
Man Dylan, she's coming together! Engine and rearend look beautiful! Can't wait to see it running! Rock on 🤘!
Looks good. 🤘 Had a 57 Belvedere moredoor project back in '07. With all the bells and whistles. You''re making me miss it.
The 1958 Plymouth uses T-3 headlights. I see that they are still available and I saw a set of 4 which cost about $150.

Hey Dylan,this old girl is looking good! You have done a lot of hard work and you should be proud of the way she is coming out!!
LOOKS GREAT!!!
Car is looking fantastic!!! Love the hard work, Dylan!!
Finish that stuff then under coat it. Brilliant. Will really pop!
For several years when I was. kid, our family car was a 1959 Plymouth wagon, with the 318 ci. A good vehicle to learn to drive on. Onward!
I have the same problem. You just never can stop yourself and say enough is enough.
Before dropping the new engine, it was time to replace the steering system with a safety one that fits. The steering wheel will not kill the driver in case of a front crash.. Thanks.
Very Nice! Thanks. 😀
Fantastic your doing a great job old cars looking better every episode.
Coming along very nicely
Coming along great.
Love the production! AAA+++
Love the build it’s awesome
Dylan your the best thing that could have happened to this old Plymouth Good Job.
I believe Carroll Shelby smiled when you said it's got to stop better than it goes. Great job.
Nice work!!
Dylan love it,can't wait to see the finish
Awesome job and awesome car!!!
Couldn't agree more about brake lines. It makes me insane how many try to get away with it. Just put new in for peace of mind. I've put new brake lines in my truck 3 times just to be good to go, once when I got it 10 years ago, again when I rebuilt it 3 years ago, and again a yearlater in the front because I had some chaffing issues. But I don't do a pretty job lol. Just get it in there and make it work 😁
Dylan, thanks for all the 58 Plymouth uploads. I got into cars because of christine and having a 58 Plymouth is a dream of mine. Even though I'm somehow a Ford guy now, I still do love mopars. She may not be a hardtop but regardless she is nice. These cars seem to be getting harder to find. This is a segment I've deff been following.
looking good mate .
