    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.

    • @MaxNafeHorsemanship
      @MaxNafeHorsemanship 2 роки тому +6

      Correction...about 7-9 thousand on an angle grinder depending on brand.

    • @Beandiptheredneck
      @Beandiptheredneck 2 роки тому +5

      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

      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

    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

    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'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!

    @williamm3820 2 роки тому +1

    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.

    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.

    @Brock_Landers 2 роки тому +2

    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.

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.

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.

    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!

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 😁
