Abandoned in the Woods for 50 years! 1961 Chevrolet BelAir Bubbletop Saved from the Grave!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 чер 2022
- I picked up this 1961 Chevrolet BelAir "Bubble top" a year ago. A coworker found it locally in one of my teacher's shelter belts while looking for deer sheds. They were more than willing to let the car go as it had sit in their trees since before they bought the farm in the 1970s. So, being the sucker that I am for bubbletops I jumped at the opportunity to drag it home even if it's a complete basket case! Let's address some issues with this car, first thing is to find the VIN to acquire a title and install a drivetrain and pedal assemblies from last weeks 1962 BelAir donor car. I'm not really ready to part with this one as I've got more parts for it to install and I'm kind of attached but if you made me a crazy offer I might consider it. You never know! As always, thanks for watching!

Just say no to the later front clip. You'll find one in due time. Disc brakes are really nice to have. I vote for taking time to build this car as nice as possible, for as low as you can possibly keep the budget. Time is on your side with this one.
Four times the old shop means seven times the work to keep from losing the new one. Pretty sure that's how math works. Congrats on the new space. Having a lift makes all the difference in the world.
the 61-62 glass thing still blows my mind, goes to show you can always learn something new!
It really blows me away that thing sat for 50 years in the north and it’s still semi salvageable and you poked a engine in her and she’s alive again also the body and dash in such ok condition sitting outside for that long is amazing
They built em good back then.
Hey let's not forget to add congrats to mortsky and family for a new baby coming lol and of course Mr duff gonna have a bro or sister
By far... This has to be the most incredible save of all time!! So unbelievable, you don't even notice the flexihoses... Haha!! Crazy how solid that thing actually is!!
Not bad
Good to see that the best channel on UA-cam now has the best shop on UA-cam! Congrats to you and the Duff dog.
I'm pretty impressed; that car is honestly in better shape than it should be for sitting in dirt for fifty years. One of my favorite body styles for sure. Looking forward to seeing where this project goes!
no bloody where
Budget build it then drive it like it's stolen!!
I was thinking the exact same thing, wow man. They don't build them like they use to and that car is a testament to that, like the metals that where used way back when, were so much better then they are today.
Put on from the 62
@@loftiefleet8104 awwww, hurt feewings?
My first car was a 62 Biscane 6 cyl. 3 on the tree I was 15, by the time I got my license it was a 283 3 speed on the floor, loved that car.
I freaking love this I was all sad thinking aww he's gonna cut it to bits but nope you're giving her a new take on life right on!
I honestly love how I don't remember you mentioning the new shop at all. Master of suspense and "my business is my business you should mind yours"
I thought I missed something as well and went back through the last few shows...
Yeah I was in that boat too lol
Dittos on your comment. My only guess is he might discuss it on his next live with duff dog show.
That mort’s a slick one. Got a lot of fans to click on the last couple shows again.
I thought he'd finally lost the shop! What's the deal with the new place?
Glad to see u growing and getting a bigger shop. U deserve it for working so hard. Love the videos. You and duff are awesome to watch.
Holy smokes, that's his shop? I figured Mortske was hiding out at a buddy's place. Sweet! 🍻
Agree, my shop is my back yard for now. One of these days.
@@mphilleo same here. I just assumed that Mortske was using someone else's shop temporarily. Awesome for him!!👍🏻👍🏻
As someone who it restoring a '61 Impala now, a bubble BelAir is well worth the effort in restoring. That's actually a more solid car than what I would have imagined! She's crusty, but savable.
not bad!
I think you were talking yourself into taking all of the parts from the 62 and getting it back together. You went over and above what I thought you would get done on it this week. It's an impressive change to the car. Duff looks like he is loving the new shop location. Lots of critters to chase.
7:45 ish. That’s actually a vintage cup/jock strap for protecting the balls.
Mortske might need that climbing around out there
done stirring.
😂🤣😂🤣
On a previous video, Mortske sung the line from Adam Sandler’s “Piece of Sh@t Car” - seats poke the balls - Mortske needs that device for POS cars..
😲🤣😂
Sweet flexi hose brother! Luv the '61s and black on red is my favorite color combo. You got a winner there kinda sad it sat in the woods for fifty years. Thanks for bringing her back to life she certainly deserves to live again.
...Chin is the man...the more I watch these vids, the more I appreciate his work....buy him a sammich, Mortske.....
Sure is! Will do!
You are so much in your element.. you do not have to put the show on. There is no acting.
You are The real McCoy..
This makes the show, you have " unbeknownst humor , talent & demeanor.. "
You have some great content..
This new location this new shop has increased your abilities tremendously..
I thank you for your entertainment..
You send positive frequency in your shows..( there you go). From the heart. Cheers.
Brother. ,,,,
Thanks much!
I LOVE THIS. Been watching your stuff for about a year now-always love the "Will it run" vids on these old forgotten Chevys. I want to see more of this car. Even if you piece it together-use a '61 front clip. It will look weird with the tail lights with a '62 on it. I would grab as much as you can from that 4 door though. I've been having a ton of fun the last 5 days working a '73 Imperial LeBaron I shipped here to Spokane from Missouri. I love resurrecting old rides myself. It's fun and keeps me out of trouble.
I personally think she needs a ‘61 front clip. I’d love to see a part 2!
That’s like the cars we used to build from the junkyard in upstate PA and run around the strip mines !! Brings back some great memories from when I was a teenager!! Great job !
Beautiful cars in the day. 61&63 were the best. Them were a beast with 409 motor in them
Now you get to work harder than Flint water to not lose the NEW shop...CONGRATS you earned the upgrade keep the show and duff content coming, makes my Mondays!!!
Thanks Mortske, it was great to see you bring this back to life! The thing needs a frame swap before you get too crazy with it, it looks like it was an unfinished repair job that was parked and forgotten about.
Oh my gosh! New Departure is in MY neck of the woods!
pretty cool putting this car back together on the cheap one of my favorites!
I remember using New Departure bearings if Timkin wasn't available 👍 Thanks for sharing Mortske
Congrats on the shop sir👍👍
Amazing you can take the bones of a car sitting for over 50 years and bring her back to life. Look forward to more on the bubble top.
Awww sooki sooki now... 1961 Bubbletop... you have my undivided attention... wish I could dig up those trees for yamadori styled bonsai...✊🏾❤️👍🏾😍 touche’... I took my Ca. driver’s license test in 1970 in a bubbletop
Thanks for the entertainment and whatever you decide will be great to watch the progress
Our pleasure
I would definitely stay tuned for a more in-depth series on this ‘61! Just my two cents here, hold out for a ‘61 front clip.
"screwed him outta doors" lmaoooooooo & calling me out on that 64 qtr panel, i may just need to cut that back seat up now Mortske! haha
Don't take it out on the seat! It's innocent in all of this. 🤣
I hate when other channels say they gonna do something then they don’t wink wink Icc lol found some doors from Iowa classic cars then he traded them for a car. Screwed us ober on those but we found a better door lol……. 🤔 that name looks familiar haha 😂
The seat doesn’t deserve this abuse
I think you guys were brothers in another life the way you bicker!😂🤣😂🤣
A black bubble top and free! You lucky dog. I really enjoy your content because you don’t just throw money at it. Those of us who don’t have an unlimited budget appreciate it my man.
Thanks Travis!
You save my Mondays, man..... Ever since I got stuck working at home because of Covid, this channel has cured my depression...
Another excellent Mortske Monday video, the 61 was in a lot better shape than I thought it was gonna be. I personally would want to hold out for the 61 parts but with all the "free" 62 parts on hand, it's hard to pass on keeping with the cheap build idea. Either way, congrats on the upgraded shop, keep up the awesome work, and thanks for another great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Hold out for 61 parts you got it going your way now
@@gerrygwilson2849 Will do
@@gerrygwilson2849 yeah, I'm gonna have to agree with that. 👍🏻👍🏻 So that's my vote, Mortske!!
Congrats on the new shop. Looks as though now things will be way gooder than crawling under cars on a creeper. As for the bubble top, swapping frames would have to wait until you get the new VIN tag because a "new" frame won't match for VIN to do paperwork.Otherwise it sounds like a good plan especially if the front-end components are useable. I would media blast the frame if you do swap it but it strikes me that a good coat of rust converter followed by a good rust paint would be cheaper than powder coating it. The front clip, though, sounds as though it might be better to look for a '61 clip even if you have to repair it and you already have 3 out of 4 main parts (grille, bumper and Left fender assy). A bit of welding and a date with the english stump and you would be in business.
my sentiments exactly. Nice Choice Mortske on that gorgeous body and roof line. Love me a early 60's Chevrolet Bubble top/full size automobile.. I just happened into a '64 Old's F85 instead of one of these years Impala Caprice or Bel Air. Though my early Chevelle El Camino is my real favorite. Congrats and I'm a looking forward in seeing whatever you do with this ol' Girl. I think a Dirt track car would be fun with a ton more Ass from a 327ci 348 396 or 427ci.btw.
@@RabidSnot if you're talking 1961, you might be thinking Impala, Bel Air and Biscayne. The Caprice wasn't introduced until 1965 under the Impala tag and had the official Caprice label in 1966. These all were great cars!
Ooo
And I thought I was going to get something done this morning .
This is golden!
Another great video Mortske , your knowledge of these old cars never fails to impress
Thanks Vince
Can you throw in a little shop tour to the next video. It looks sweet!
Amazing project! looking good, a lift is just a must have for bigger jobs. All the best to you and Duff!
his dog knows more than he doe,s
@@loftiefleet8104 why be like that? Jealous??
@@loftiefleet8104 doe,s? Does. You know what really grinds my gears. lol
Mortske congratulations on your new shop. It's way more peaceful.
My favorite of the early 60's Chevy's. had a 61 2dr. post, 348 tri power. couldn't keep rear ends in it. No money one time to fix after blowing up the 5th or 6th pumpkin, Fri nights on the " Gut" were ruff back then. traded it to an employed friend, for a 2 dr valiant slant 6 3spd on the flr. factory stk. He wrapped it around a giant fir tree at he bottom of a hill in the snow. I always appreciate take a set of bones and sticking on some life, and takin it for a rip. Fun. It don't matter how you get it, long as no one else gets hurt. C U next week.
Nice!
Keep it a budget build I assume most of your audience fits into that category, I know I do! I'm surprised how good of shape it was in after sitting for that long.
That car held up pretty good considering it sad for 50 years, and it's now running and driving once again, sort of 😂👍☮️🇺🇲
True that!
@@MortskeRepair technically...a person without all the spare parts would be spending 25k+
That’s cool as all hell! There can’t be many bubble tops left around. It’s great that your keeping another one alive.
Thanks for letting me get a look at it.🚗🚗🚗💚💚💚
Thanks for watching!
Very cool build. Hope you continue to work on it and show it in future episodes!
Congratulations on the new shop!!
Nice work on that old girl. She needs a lot more, but a good start. Cheers Mortske!
Love 61 bubble top had a impala in high school. My thinking is 61 clip. Thanks for the memories.
Our pleasure Bernie!
Like the new shop a tour would be nice I would try keeping the budget bill just so we could see how much it comes out to be at the end and keep it as a 61 if you can but like you say you're doing a budget so that might be the way to go with a 62 front clip keep up the good work love the show God bless...
Great video and congrats on the shop lift is definitely a must for old guys lol I would swap frames definitely a project car so would not want to put in all that effort on a shaky.frame
Very happy to see you are going to bring er right back around! I already know you got this!
Man... I put a floor shifter in a 1965 Rambler with a weak ass 6 cylinder! In my defense, that was all I had to fix it with. Love what yer doin!
Thanks Rick
I'd like to see you keep it a budget build that you could daily, It would be interesting to how much it cost.
Love to see the 61 running and yes use the 62 frame and power coat make it really safe and I like the bench seats best.
I'm no mechanic, not by a long shot. I usually break more than I fix lol. But, your videos have taught me a lot, thanks!
Glad to hear it!
Definitely want to see more of this car, thanks for saving it and breathing life back into it
I love Duff I would hate to see if anything happens to him and it's always nice to see you save those cars and trucks and try to get back on the road or just body even the engine is no good
The new shop looks like a blimp hanger compared to the old one! I dont know tho the old shop was pretty nostalgic. Love the bubbletop project and will be here to see it finished. How about a 409 under the hood?
Find me one on the cheap!
@Jim Bridges The words "budget" and "Chevy 409" never collide in the same sentence.
@@77yogurt Not a chance, you never know. Might get lucky.
@@MortskeRepair ya might. Ya MIGHT also win the lottery for many tens of millions of dollars. But are ya really gonna bank on it?
Dude was having a lotta fun pitching it side ways,u could see it in his face,lotta fun
That's one of your more impressive endeavors. I was pleasantly surprised to see you slinging rocks with it in the driveway with it. You are right love the sound of the open headers sounds beefy.
I’m with you on the front clip, if you have a 61 great, if not use the 62, keep that weather out ! Nice shop !
Sweet, another bubble top! Great job, you got a lot done. Would like to see you get the rest done. The ‘62 front end would look better than nothing or the busted grill and missing fender your dealing with now. Stick with the budget theme your rolling with. If you aren’t excited about it, finish the swap outs then pass it along to the next guy after you finish your content. It’s a cool old car and I’m glad to see it back on the road.
Did we have one before?
@@MortskeRepair wasn’t the one you had a while back ago a bubble top or was it a 4 door?
@@campbecw 4 door
I'm not gettin' 'er done but watching you is having fun!
Glad to hear it
50 years in the elements and being that solid is quite amazing. Mother nature must have blessed that bel air.
It's mind-bottling.
Sad part is I'd be willing to dig up that model t just to bring it home
My wife surprised me with a new Mortske shirt today. 👍
Awesome! Thanks Mrs. steven Tangney!
Thanks to you and Chin for the Mortske Monday! Good luck with the new/old rig! 🐾🍺
Best content yet, I'd love to see more on this one, especially if you continue along the same route, (as cheap as possible). There's way too many channels out there blindly throwing coin and new parts at project cars! We all know what can be achieved with infinate funds, it's way more interesting to see what can be achieved on a budget!
Yup! Just keep this beauty and keep adding to her as you can! Bubbletops are just fantastic!!
Your skills and patience are a real asset to the classic car community.
Thanks!
Love the channel,love your sarcasm.The bubble top is by far the best style for the Impala they ever made.Like the fact you are doing a budget build people need to know you dont need concourse builds to have fun.You can have fun with junk and not worry about getting it dirty.Keep up the great work and keep the sarcasm coming.
This is a project full commitment. Love bubble tops with all the windows down. That rear bumper is pristine. Proud of you for washing it first. Pat on the back to Chin. It's alive. Making one out of two is just the way it goes I'm doing it why not you. Wait on the 61 front end there's plenty to do for awhile. You're a magician.
Thanks Bill!
I think it looks 100 percent better with the dash in!😀
hi from big T...in the UK.GB....KEEP THEM COMING ..MORTSKE..LOVE THE CARS U WORK ON OVER THERE ...
Thanks!
Mortske that scene out your Garage door is like Build it and they will come!!!!!!!!
RIP LIOTTA!!!!
Absolutely love the old Impalas! I remember those cars when they were new. Classy for the day I tell you. Thanks for not ever giving up on them.
Thanks for watching and commenting Tom!
It's nice having them flexy hoses around! Practice what we preach lol!
once again youve gone above and beyond.its people like you that saves the coolest for future generation!!keep rockin withe the duffster.love the new place!
Love seeing that pile of scrap being reborn, Great job on educating us on how strange the X frame cars were made.
Thanks Gary!
You brought back the Gutentite!!🤣🤣🤣👌
Wow!!!! It's a Bel Air Bubbletop. That is a car worth restoring that's for sure. It can be as nice looking as an Impala if it is restored right
Many people don't know that's the rarest impala ss ever they didn't make a lot of 61s in SS trim love any bubble top bodystyle👍👍💯 merica
Glad to see you found it and you're fixing it up man it's nice to see it getting fixed
Yeah thanks
Can't wait for Next Week's Video!
Excellent! I love what you’re doing with this one! See what you can do on a budget! You may surprise yourself! I have faith in ya!😎
This car deserves to have the same front clip that it originally came new with.I know u like bubble tops and I know u will do the right thing. Always enjoy your videos. I never miss a video
Thanks Otis!
Quite the project you and ol’ Duff are undertaking there. Will be interesting to continue to watch the progression. Also love the long videos. You’re one of the best on here!
Thanks 👍
I couldn't get into your videos for a long time but your kind of growing on me now
Glad to hear it!
Well it has come a long way since you got it out of the woods for sure and thats a plus.Good job getting her up and going ...Thanks.
So cool to watch the process. These are sleek and beautiful cars. It would be great to see it come together more/
Stay tuned
Hard to believe that thing runs and drives. Great work and congrats on the new shop.
Thanks 👍
Get the frame from the 62 sandblasted and powder coated, new bushings. You’ll have a great driving 61!!
Always an adventure to find that one needle you were looking for stuck in the grease slot after the equipment you repaired comes back to the shop for..... U joint failure. Glad you found them 2.
Really cool watching you redo this car no seat belts required before 63
Glad Greta made an appearance. I’m a big fan.lol Glad you got a new shop with a lift. Your back will thank you.
When I was young and broke, I had a 1964 Dodge Dart, A good car for a 16 year old. I was backed in a driveway, and another kid, pulled in doing 40, hit his breaks, and they did not work. plowed right in my Dodge Dart. creased the whole front end, could not bang it out. Another friends Dad had a 1964 Valiant, in the back yard with a blown motor. He said I could have it. Every one said the front clip would bolt right on. Well it did, bolt for blot and hole for hole. My Dodge was Black, and his Valiant was Brown, and other friend of my Dads painted the front Black, and it looked great! So I had a 1964 Dodge body, with a 1964 Plymouth Front end and grill. Made for a lot of conversations. I vote to put the 1962 Front end Chevy, on the body of the 1961 Chevy. Good luck, love your channel. Mark
That is Awesome, a car rotting away in the bush driving again. Wow
Good job mortski that hoist is mint we can see just what you're doing. Bubble top advice like thay say on wall street never fall in love with your investments
Cool! Enjoyed watching Mr. Mortske and Duff. Take Care!
Thanks, you too!
Love those bubbletops too!! Awesome find!!
Thanks!!
