    I'm 46 now and it's always Great to see the younger generation turning wrenches or just doing something else besides staying on a phone all the time. It gives them knowledge and gives them a trade they can use later on in life. It also teaches them that nothing in life os for free and they have to work hard to achieve goals in life. Keep up the Great Work and Content.

      The real beauty of this is that Austin is much less likely to grow up being one of those less than worthless "you-owe'me" people that don't contribute anything to society but waste the air they breathe. Plus, having been taught how to do the things that are needed to get his car up and running he'll appreciate it more and take better care of it.

    Evapo-rust does remove all the rust from tools and chucks and what not. And it can be used multiple times when stored in a dedicated bucket with a lid. It is not toxic, and it is not an acid and it does not damage the good metal. Just dump it in a bucket with the stuff that you want to clean up and let it soak for a couple of hours, or overnight if it is really rusty, and all the rust will be gone. If you still see rusty spots you just let it soak a little longer. I watched several machinists using this stuff when they were restoring tools and lathe chucks and drill bits and stuff like that. It really does the job 100%

    That old 53(?) Chevy will make a GREAT 'sleeper' street rod.
    Re: the debris, knock together a 'shaker table' with 2×4 lumber, and 1/4" mesh screen, get all the big crud out, rakeit up, and sift it out, might be worth it finding a bunch more tools and usable bits.
    a buddy's car (AMC Gremlin)was hit from behind with 5 gallons of gas in a can in the back, completely burned out, dash and all.
    peeled the crud out, and in that crud found his billfold which had been in glove box - intact money, credit cards and all, leather was a bit darker, and smelled smoky, otherwise it was fine. he still has it (after it aired out) kept it as a memento. your old unwanted tools would make great 'prizes' by the way for your fans.😎
