I remember years ago I bought my buddy a disco Nova that was a turd But he loved them We worked for 7 years nights and weekends when we could It started off all our friends making jokes about it But by the time it was done everyone of them Wound up loving that car. This is what the hobby is all about That car will Mean more to you both than you can imagine
ah but that's the beauty of it - Dave didn't buy it, it was a gift from a close friend. Wives tend to give a bye in this situation. Clever guys know this...
SO true! I have a money pit drag car Honda and it gets me in alot of trouble from time to time. I also have a boosted daily driver Honda Accord V6 manual that does the same...🤣 🤣 🤣
However, I'd give half of my sack to own a domestic drag car. My brother and I built a 74 Camaro Z28 into a 600 HP 400 SBC drag car YEARS ago, and he still owns it, but I've been dying to get my hands on an old Mopar or even a Chevy, but I don't have tons of cash on the side anymore since I bought a big house for my family and spent ALL of my savings on it.
Luckily you still produce quality entertainment available to us loosers outside North America that just got shafted by the reptile overlords at Discovery. Not a happy boy right now, but this channel I’ll keep watching and supporting!
You love to see it. The way he kept asking Mike if he was for real, you know he's happy and you can see his mind going a million miles a minute as soon as Mike says it's his. Awesome stuff.
Only a true friend would buy another true friend a car that he loves and keep calling it a POS the whole time with a smile. Love this channel. Keep treating each other like shit can’t get enough. 👍🏻
Dang, Mike... what a gift. 5 years ago my dad passed and I inherited his life's collection of hot rods. Among them was a 55 Chevy roller he had been tinkering on for a few years. I did not have the room to keep it so I sold it for I think 500 bucks. Serious regret just don't quite cut it on this one. It was in just about the same shape as the 57 here. Thanks for showing me that anything can be beautiful.
Just watched Alex Taylor and her parents lay up fiberglass parts for their Tri5 on her channel. 🤔 a visit to their shop and learning to make fiberglass parts would make a cool video.
They got the molds for all the parts. That’s the hard part. Spend a week up there and make ‘em. I imagine they’ll help out a fellow car nut. Or ask them if they need to trade something.
Yes, check out Alex Taylor, their under 6sec 55 car they are building, it's going to be fast and her dad is building his own body parts. He needed some parts that had a 10 week lead time and said, I'll build my own. They all know what they are doing.
I think the fact he had the car saved makes it even better, he was already thinking about it, and you went and got it for him. Very cool. Can't wait to watch this car come to life and rip along side you.
awwwwwww Finnegan.........that's so freaking cool man. What a present to give Dave. He works so damn hard for you and this is such an awesome way to show him you care about all that work he does. This is gonna be such a cool project.
A true gift from the heart from one car guy to another!! Looking forward to seeing this project move forward as I am finally starting my 57 hardtop I have had since 1985.
Brought a tear to my eye! That was a genuinely good thing you've done Mr. Finnegan. Can't wait to see the miles of smiles on Dave's face as you guys build this project.
Wealthy indeed is the friend who shares the wealth with friends; more precious than gold. What you give comes back to you tenfold. Your dad is smiling with you, Mike. Well done.
Awesome to see Finnegan able to help a friend get a car. Even more awesome was Dave's response. The shock, and it looked like he was holding back tears. So rad.
That’s a true friend right there. Not someone who buys you things but someone that helps you reach your goals and dreams. Congrats Newbern, and good looking out Mike. I have to add Dave was happy for Finnegan to find that car even though he had it saved in marketplace. But was probably more stoked when he was handed the title. That’s some true friendship right there.
You rock Finnegan! What a great friend man. Y'all are gonna make so many memories together in that thing. You just made a grown man tear up for Newbern. Can't wait to watch all the progress on it!❤😁👍
Back when the entire world could enjoy roadkill you had the feeling that Mike was a great guy, seriously touching thing to do for a friend, proof positive with Mike Finnegan what you see is what you get, no bullshit! Outstanding!
This is absolutely one of the best feel good videos ever! Please please please keep track of this on this channel with the work and Newbern's plans for it! PumpeD!!!!!!! You rock
You guys and Alex Taylor's dad are about to be best friends. He's got the fiberglass molds for all those parts. Check her recent project on her channel.
I just got my own dream car/project car, without much prior planning, and I can completely understand how hard it is for Newbern to stop smiling right now.
How to make a BigMan Cry of tears of joy. We need these kinds things to see in life. What a team all of you guys are all the support from us people watching your channel. Big Hello From Finland🇺🇸💪
What a legend mate. You could see the genuine joy written all over Dave. He was so dumb founded initially then just could wipe the smile off his face. This made my day. Think that also says a bit about me too lol.
His shop is in Callery, PA, which is about 30 minutes from my house, and man I'd really like to stop out there some day. I've met his son a couple times, but I don't know them all that well.
Wow! What a great and caring friend you are Mike Finnegan! Great friends are hard to come by these days..! That was very touching.. You two had better always remember times like these and you'll always have each other..
When you can't buy any more cars for yourself... buy them for your friends! Everyone wins
IKR I need those kinds of people as friends.
I’d settle for just getting on the waiting list for being their friend lol.
Makes it harder for the wife to be angry at you 😏
one friend gave me a 71 el camino,and another gave a 74 nova to me.
@@MadmanJnr i bought a bike for a friend of mine, his missus was pissed at both of us!
Congrats Newbern, you deserve a gift like this for all your work with Finnegan.
Never complaining when you get the dirty or wet job. Your a class act.
That grin on Newbern's face at 5:30 is pure gold :)
I love how he can't stop touching the hood while he's talking about it, good for you Newbern!
Like a kid getting his first puppy.
Please restore it to it's original self! Not like a muscle car, I mean the real deal. It makes me happy to see such marvels of car design.
Newbern totally deserves this. Glad to see a good dude getting one of his dream cars (or at least the bones of it).
Yeah he does! Can't wait to see future vids on this project.
I'm pumped for this build. Newbern DEFINITELY deserves to have something fun to wrench on. He's a really good dude to have on your side.
I remember years ago I bought my buddy a disco Nova that was a turd
But he loved them
We worked for 7 years nights and weekends when we could
It started off all our friends making jokes about it
But by the time it was done everyone of them
Wound up loving that car.
This is what the hobby is all about
That car will
Mean more to you both than you can imagine
Wow that's when you know you have a true friend ,when your bro buys you a money pit that could put a marriage in jeopardy
ah but that's the beauty of it - Dave didn't buy it, it was a gift from a close friend. Wives tend to give a bye in this situation. Clever guys know this...
If Dave's wife divorces him over this car she's not the right woman for him anyway.

@@Brock_Landers You made the right choice. Better to live in a house than a car.
Did anyone else feel like hugging Finnegan while watching this? Takes a true friend to just give another a car! So nice to see such generosity.
I watched this after watching them score a 57 hardtop in Texas after seein it from the road LOL !!!
Now Cotton needs a '56 so you guys have a tri-5 team!
Hell, yeah! A ‘56 wagon would be sweet, did they build Nomads in ‘56?
*Cotten
@@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney sure did.
Hemi powered, big block chevy powered, and coyote powered. Then make them all 8.5s bracket cars to race each other
@@everrybody I think more 427 SOHC

The joy on Newbern’s face is infectious. I’m happy for him! Only car guys see the beauty in all that rust. I love it!!!
So true brother...so true.
You love to see it. The way he kept asking Mike if he was for real, you know he's happy and you can see his mind going a million miles a minute as soon as Mike says it's his. Awesome stuff.

Dude!!!!!! that was the most choked-up moment when you told Newbern it was his. That was so awesome of you!

Definitely Alex Taylor and Dennis is the place to get all fiberglass done watched there build be the place to go be perfect to see both cars built 👍🏻🔧

That Road Runner is freaking beautiful
Looks like my old '70!
steve
I know right
It’s great how one man can give another a rusty pile of metal and completely make his day!
Mike, you are truly an awesome human being. The world needs more nice people like yourself.
Your a good man Mike. The look on Newburn's face is all the thanks you need. You can see how much he appreciated the gift.
awwwwwww Finnegan.........that's so freaking cool man. What a present to give Dave. He works so damn hard for you and this is such an awesome way to show him you care about all that work he does. This is gonna be such a cool project.
Man, so happy for Newbern! Love that he had even saved that car on his marketplace.
Congrats 12 volt Dave ! Hats off to Finnegan
A true gift from the heart from one car guy to another!! Looking forward to seeing this project move forward as I am finally starting my 57 hardtop I have had since 1985.
Brought a tear to my eye! That was a genuinely good thing you've done Mr. Finnegan. Can't wait to see the miles of smiles on Dave's face as you guys build this project.
What a great gesture, & an ingenious way to create new content for the Channel.

Best example of being an awesome human! Thanks for being one of the good ones Mike!
Congratulations newburn can't wait to see what u build

Good Friends, Good Times Ahead. I had an equally big smile as you guys where getting it on the trailer.
Back when the entire world could enjoy roadkill you had the feeling that Mike was a great guy, seriously touching thing to do for a friend, proof positive with Mike Finnegan what you see is what you get, no bullshit! Outstanding!
Ur a good friend Finnegan, this world needs more buddy's like u dude. Keep the videos coming.
“I’m coming for you Jeff lutz!” Best line the whole video hilarious.
There's a big part of me that's chuckling like a gremlin when you said it was his car. This is such a cool gift of this era.
Killer car. Congrats to newburn. You deserve it brother
Dude... Can we say good friend or what. Hell yeah
4:50 dammit Finn, quit kicking up the dust. It’s making my eyes water up.
That smile in his face! Like a kid in Christmas! Priceless!
Congratulations Newbern!
Congrats Newbern! Cannot wait for this build!!
This was heartwarming, Dave really deserves it.
what a Boss move!! much respect for this act of kindness n gratitude !! 💯👊🏼
Looking out for your buddy. Hell yeah that's what's up
Mike, you made my day ! When you’re fortunate enough to have a true friend, you take care of them . That was from the heart..
Tears of joy for your appreciation for a good friend. Your a good man Mr. Finnegan. Thanks for making my day. I can't wait to watch this build.
Now that's a good friend, I think. He's always there by your side doing everything. Can't wait to see it come back to life.
You own 67 ramp trucks and you bring this home ON A TRAILER!?!?
Glad I'm not the only one that thought that. 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Especially if you’re going to a cool hot rod guy’s place to pick something up, that’s DEFINITELY the time for one of your awesome ramp trucks, haha!
The thing is the white one they got on roadkill is in paint, and I don’t think Lincoln Hawk was ever going to fit through there
Here for this.
Greatest BOSS/ friend ever!! Newborns best day at work ever!!
Finnegan is a hell of a dude and you can see how much he appreciates his friends. Great man!
Congrats newburn.....you deserve it.....couldn't ask for a better friend....can't wait to see whats in store for it... again Congrats
This is absolutely one of the best feel good videos ever! Please please please keep track of this on this channel with the work and Newbern's plans for it! PumpeD!!!!!!! You rock
Very very cool of you Mike ! You couldn’t knock the smile off his face with a stick !
Nice to see good friends looking out for each other. Didn't see the gift coming but cool deal. Thanks guys for bringing us along.
Awesome..... Making a dream come true for someone close has to be one of the best feelings in the world.
What a pal! David's reaction was great!
Super happy for Newbern! Nice gesture Finnegan!
What a friend! Literally brought tears to muh eyes. Now hose 'er down with sponsored parts and let's see a race with Blasphemi!
I love it! The 57 is my unicorn. I've wanted one since I was a kid. Mike, you're a real friend
That's a buddy right there! Cool stuff! Can't wait to see it come to life!
That smile on Newbern's face is absolutely priceless! Well done! that's an awesome project, looking forward to watching its progress!
What a nice thing to do for Mr Newbern. I hope you both have a lot of fun working on the car.
I cannot wait to see the transformation of this 57! Please, show it all. Thanks for sharing and cheers from Motown!
The genuine smile of happiness is what made this video awesome!
Thanks for sharing this beautiful friendship moment. And congratulations / condolences on this awesome new project, Newbern!
Now THAT`S what friends do! Can´t wait to see this thing getting build!
man...that's a car guys car guy there...Mike...you are a bro to this man...so much respect
You guys and Alex Taylor's dad are about to be best friends. He's got the fiberglass molds for all those parts. Check her recent project on her channel.
exactly what I was thinking, they need to get ahold of the Taylor's!
Yeah Dennis has everything they need. I'd love to them go up there and collab on building the fiberglass parts
That's exactly what I said lmao!
My thoughts exactly.
Yeah I just mentioned that too, funny. Great minds.....
Love what you did Mike. Reinforces how much the car community helps each other out.
I just got my own dream car/project car, without much prior planning, and I can completely understand how hard it is for Newbern to stop smiling right now.
Newburn scores and the crowd goes wild, nice job Finn, way to hook a brother up😎🇺🇲
That's a cool gesture. Be well and stay safe.
Nothing cooler than buying your friend a car, I love it!
Finn is such a cool guy what better than taking care of a really close friend you work with everyday. I can't wait to see this going together.
That's what I call a genuine smile...good luck to the both of you.
Finnegan: “How can I make sure Dave always needs a job? Got it! I’ll buy him an old car!” 😂😂
Nice find!! Awesome friend!!
Glad to see that there is still interest in restoring 1957 Chevys!
Pretty awesome thing to do man, I can't wait to see this done 10 years from now!!!!!! 🤣🤣
The day a great friend becomes family. Nicely done Fin!!
Cool! You must have a huge pile of hand-me-down parts to keep him just a little bit slower than Blasphemi. :D
Newbern is completely blown away.
That's what friendship looks like.
I've NEVER seen Newburn so frickin' happy! Or speechless!🤘😂
Giving that car away, made the whole video. AWESOME...
Hell yea!!! Such a good friend you are finnegan!!!
That's a true buddy there. Wow made me smile the hole episode.

Sweet. My High school car was a ,57 Chevy. Dad bought it brand new in August of ,56. Still have it.
You’re a good man Charlie Brown
Newberns face..... Man thats a HAPPY happy Face!
You Mr Finnegan ROCK as a good buddy!
Best day at work ever!!!
What a legend mate. You could see the genuine joy written all over Dave. He was so dumb founded initially then just could wipe the smile off his face.
This made my day. Think that also says a bit about me too lol.
That “I’m coming for you Jeff Lutz” was reeeeaaaalllll quiet lmao
His shop is in Callery, PA, which is about 30 minutes from my house, and man I'd really like to stop out there some day. I've met his son a couple times, but I don't know them all that well.
@@Brock_Landers Him and his son seem like really cool people.
Super video! I applauded for $5.00 👏👏
Yay! Thank you!
Love how happy that made him, good on you dude. Look forward to seeing this build
Wow! What a great and caring friend you are Mike Finnegan! Great friends are hard to come by these days..! That was very touching.. You two had better always remember times like these and you'll always have each other..
Can’t stop laughing at how much better it got after he told him it was his. Super cool.
Now that's a good friend.
Finnegan your awesome.
