Summer Splice: 1960 Chevy "Biscala": It's a Crumbling Ruin! Can We Save This Sweet Hardtop?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 чер 2024
- Hi guys! Thanks for tuning in! This week we're going to keep going on the 1960 Chevy Impala I bought from Tom a couple of years ago... I have a Chevy Biscayne sedan for a donor, and it is time to see if we can save the Impala by grafting it to the bottom of the solid Biscayne! I did a 1960 Plymouth Fury a few years ago, so it'll be a similar job, overall... This week we'll finish stripping out the Impala and lift the top of the body off...
First: We'll fire up the old Citroen Traction Avant and finish installing the hoist!
Thanks everyone who ordered a 1937 Chevy T-shirt; they're being printed now and I'll let everyone know when they are on the way!
Hope you enjoyed the 8mm clips! I am filming more on the 8mm camera and I'll include the footage as soon as I get it developed... Special thanks to Steve Dean and Niagara Film Labs in Toronto.

What are the odds on that trim?
And I don't believe in luck.
Luck: The invisible, magical force that chooses winners and losers?
Sounds like a myth.

Hi Scott I've been watching your channel since well before the Fury splice. I live down in Calgary and I'm going to be in Edmonton next week. I have for you some atlas tire advertising inserts that date back to the 1960's that i'd like to give to you. Is there any chace of a meet up. If so How can I make that happen. I'll riding up on my 1977 Honda goldwing with custom sidecar. would you be ok If I stopped by and dropped them off. If this can work I'll bring them with me.
After he repaired Dean's push button transmission on the Edsel, I was crazy impressed but pull starting the front wheel like an outboard.....Outstanding!
Stephen is, after all, a professional auto mechanic…
@@Popincourt-or4cfEven so……
I’ve heard of that but never seen it done before. Outstanding
You can visibly see Dan get “That feeling” we all get when we find “that part “ we’re chasing for a project.That was cool man!
Big undertaking gonna be a sweet project when done..what happened to these cars I sat in as kid at dealer intros????
Whether restoring rodding or ratting there’s always that adrenaline shot when you find that part or accessoriy, especially when it’s half the price of a new one. The thrill of the hunt is a great part of this hobby
Steven: all those hours spent watching folk restore Pakistani junkers on UA-cam has real value for folk restoring Canadian junkers on UA-cam.
This is the only YT car channel where TA stands for “Traction Avant”.
😁
I had the same thought 😂
Now that you have a lift, you'll always have friends. 🙂
Will the lift be ok in the outside harsh Canadian winter?.......
That's what I thought too ! 👊😎👍
@@cinrambradYep! There are lifts specifically made for outdoors! There's a shop near me in Vermont where they have a couple of outdoor lifts
Works excellent. Can confirm. Only thing that worked better in terms of sudden friendships was buying a VW transporter bus in the early student years ....
Needs a shelter or quonset hut type buildng to extend his time on projects in that bad weather
Nice to follow Laura's 1790 house progress.
You know the mosquitos are bad when you can hear them on the video!
I thought that was a DC 3 landing in the next field!
I had to check my audio connection!!!
Don't worry I went to swat it away from my ear !!
@@camneilsen8234I'm watching with earbuds in and damn near smacked myself upside the head 😂
@@camneilsen8234 Me too!
CWM Quote Of The Week: "It's a good car--just not a good example of it..." Classic!
I had a good chuckle over that one thinking about my own fleet 😁
I have crap in my eyes just from watching Scott cutting. Ash driving the chassis out was priceless. Laura's old cabin project is fantastic. Thank you all!
That shot of Ash driving the old Impala chassis out from under the body.....priceless. 😂
@@MaxGiganteum old timer in garage in 1977. Cut body off a pristine. 65. Impala SS. TO GO RIDING THE DUNES IN SOUTH JERSEY?.......OUCH
I was 14 when my uncle had enough logs to build his cabin..
They were cut from his property & air dried for 2 years...
He hired me for the summer to help him build it ...
It is one of my best memories growing up..
By summers end it was nearly complete .
Each room was made of a different species of wood & it was (still is) beautiful...
It has been featured in a few magazines that focus on log homes & my uncle made sure they mentioned me in the articles ...
Love to see Laura's when its finished..
The Impala is coming along...exciting to watch.
_All hail the forklift gnome_
Just made a road trip with a friend for an old car, and he mentioned a '60 fury build...of course, it was this channel. I told him about the '60 Chevy.
The Keystones look great on Myle’s Fury
Agree👍!
It's official! Ash is my new hero...
He is definitely the Buff Daddy of the bunch.
Really smart how he put the 63 Chevy trim piece in an iron pipe to prevent damage!
That old forklift sure comes in handy.
I'll be damned, it worked! Yay, Steven!
AKA Abdul ....
I know I told you before but having so many car friends I absolutely price less it like you are living in the 80s
Best channel ever
Those moldings are amazing! As you know, they are 63 only, Biscayne only, four door only and made entirely out of unobtainium!
Classy move, Chad. ❤
Hey guys! It was a very classy thing to do, for sure. Cheers from everyone here!
Just love your channel. The camaraderie and work ethic you share with your friends is such a wonderful thing to behold - and that you get to enjoy the hobby together just makes your bond so much more special. Have to say Francine "Frankers" holds a special place in my heart, my spouse loves her too! 😀
Thanks Scott, Cheers to Laura and Colin...So much Better than something new! And lots of great wood to sniff for Miss Frankers.
Not all you need is to build a shop around your lift since you have intolerable winters
It's great to have friends that are willing to help out with projects. And donate parts to help with projects. Cheers to everyone. Impala Splice is looking good so far. Looking forward to seeing more car adventures. ❤️✌️👍😎
I about died laughing at the whole Pakistani truck thing. I thought I was the only guy that watches that stuff... Love the show guys, you're the best
I love those shows too!
Kudos to Steven for the Pakistani rope start!
Tiger photo bombs the video.
Tiger photo bombs the video everytime!😆
Love that fat cat!
The look on Dan's face over the fender trim pieces was the highlight of the episode Scott. Thanks for packing so much into an hour and a quarter.
Best Wishes to everyone at Cold War Motors, their Families and Friends.
Laying in a spider infested wheel well with an angle grinder is one of my top 5 favorite jobs in the whole world! Epic content as usual this week!
I thought sure that Scott was going to set his beard on fire with the sparks!
@@danielulz1640Me Too ! 👊😎👍
I'll bet at least 85% of the subscribers to this channel can relate to Scott's words "Isn't this a great hobby" while he was doing all of that "nasty" work ???
Nice gesture Chad!
It's a brotherhood.
The Red fury is nice, the keystone rims was a good choice for it 👍
Just a BIG WOW for this video Scott!!! And your Buds really help so very much!! So much joy and fun there!
Thanks for ALL! Cheers, Rich
Log cabin splice and Biscala splice.....a race to the finish 😁
I just realized that you, the agents and Strong's garage have built a very fine community of life ruining restoration projects...great job.
Continental update please
Happy Saturday
Thank you Chad, for the chrome pieces.That blank spot just draws the eyes.Steven's 'pull start' was amazing. Ash,Miles, and Dean really stepped up to raise the roof.Nice of Andy to be there for the lift too.What a job that was.Always good to see Boss Tom stop by to teach proper elocution for describing the work needed. 'Dean's Greasy Flips' soon ehh? Laura's giant 'Lincoln Log' set almost looks fun to assemble.Almost...Cheers Everyone!
Congratulations on the lift Scott. That's a great tool You will get a load of work out of. All these years of doing things with out are a credit to Your commitment to these pieces of rolling art. I know Your body will appreciate this. 😉👌
I predict you're going to be seeing your buddies much more often now you have the hoist up.
Awesome! He got those two pieces of trim. This warms my heart!
What I like is the optimism of the colors from the fifties. The tropical blues Bright reds and yellows just reek happiness and optimism. Too bad the rust proofing and quality of assembly didn't match the colors!
Great episode and a fantastic project! You've got a great group of helpers. Cheers and all the best from the shed.... I'm with you in spirit! (which is about as much help as I would be if I was actually there) :D
All Scott needs is a picture of The Duke and Randahl in the corner for inspiration!😎
I am looking forward to the day you start tidying up the Traction Avant. Because of you I am starting to acquire a fondness for quirky French cars. When I was a kid Renault Dauphines were all over the place. Just like VW Beetles. But now you never see one anymore.
I like the R10’s.
I loved my 76 R 12 A Sport Wagon. @@kennethbaker2008
My uncle owned several of the Dauphines during the sixties and my cousin owned one of the Caravelles
I also can't wait for the "TA" tidying up. As an American, I don't think that I ever seen one on the road. But I think the first one that I ever saw was on a Combat! rerun and thought what a beauty.
Thumbs up 👍 for the Pakistani rope trick
Best way is to start the car in gear and drive it, common problem from storing any manual car
Yayyy it's Splice Time!
That old forklift is pretty awesome especially since it goes so high well done
Long live the Impayne! Long live the Turbo Firefly!
I just acquired a black diecast 1958 Edsel in honor of Dean's fine machine. I also have a diecast '52 Nash Ambassador. I know have two 1/18 scale Traction Avants. I have no room for the real ones so the models have to do. And they require far less maintenance than the two real vintage cars I own.
Pakistan how to videos to the rescue!
Please thank Stephen for watching Pakistani trucker videos! lol Awesome!
U tube dropped my subscription and notification but I was looking for my cold war motors fix and resubscribed😊
Frankers under the Biscayne roof! I say that becomes her permanent outdoor shade area/ shelter!! Her name could be above it and the dome light could work for nighttime if she's out!
Steven’s belt and braces approach! Love a pair of braces 😁 😂👍🏻
I've never appreciated the "Old Monster" until this episode. I really felt a sense of its presence. It must be amazing to live with! My imagination is just not sufficient. Congratulations on the hoist--I am stoked for you guys, and cheer to the "Old Monster" nice to seem him awoken from his reverie to once again serve his purpose. A good old age. Scott doesn't have a junk yard or a car collection, he runs a dignified old age home. I feel like that explains the magic of Cold War Motors!
To be honest My List Car is ....A 3.0 V6 Capri.!
and we're off!
Well the Pakistani rope trick you're gonna have to remember that one man.
Was I the only one watching Scott and Myles crouching under the Renault on their knees and yelling “raise the hoist!” at the screen?😂😅I’m sure you’ll love it. I miss having access to a hoist. Laura’s cabin project is epic.
Totally awesome on starting it!
My list car is a 1969 Dodge Coronet Wagon in a White/cream colour. Our family had one when were kids.
Hi Scott and Agents. I never would have guessed the Traction Advante was front wheel drive. I've never seen the Pakistani starting method performed so flawlessly. Stephen! The joy on Dan's face he showed us when talking about the 63 Chevy. Thank you Chad, and the old car gods. The Summer Splice project moves ahead. Tell Myles I know a great therapist, she's from Sweden. Oh yes, Laura's Guillotine might come in handy in the future, so don't piss her off to bad. Thanks for keeping my Saturdays real.
Traction Avant literally means front wheel drive in French.
Also Tom's kicking ass as usual!
It's sure getting interesting now! Can't wait to see it actually welded on. Thank you so much in showing Laura's cabin build. That is really interesting and fun to see. Love her sense of humor. Thanks for such great content.
Congratulations! Lifts are life changing. Dad's first company car was a '63 Biscayne 6 / stick. He had to make the deal with a local dealer. It was either that or the equivalent base model Ford. The company was so cheap they didn't allow an AM radio so the dealer had to "bury it" in the paperwork. I was - what? - 11? at the time. I remember being in the showroom where there was another Biscayne with a painted roof that was supposed to resemble a vinyl top. It didn't.
The fury is gorgeous
I just gotta say, I love watching you guys work on these cars. I watched the 60 Plymouth multi splice videos and was in awe at the finished work of art. I am a busy 66 yr old grandpa these days and I will have to watch this in segments. Can't wait to see the finished Biscala!
My 67 Sports Fury was T-Boned by a Pepsi truck two years ago. That is my list car. Thanks for the update on the log cabin. Beautiful property! 👍💯 for Dean’s Greasy Flips. I know of no one who deserves a hoist more than you guys. I say “you guys” because this is one tight bunch of friends. 🍻
You guys are nuts. Best darn channel on YT hands down. I'll be watching for the next 4 years now to see this car finished. ( like I wouldn't anyhow) cheers guys
My granpops and I were close when he was alive and that 63 is exactly what he drove! You made this old man cry when I saw your 63 Chevy. So many memories.
World's sketchiest forklift. But either you have a lot of unshared footage or it always does what you need it to do.
An action packed episode, so much great progress on several fronts.
lol, I used to start my VW that way when I was in high school (1971 ?) :)
Stephen had a great idea there. It ain't stupid if it works!
My wife was watching with me and she said the grinder & saw noise on the Impala counteracted her tinnitus and helped her relax. Who knew metal work could be so therapeutic?
If I had not watched the Fury splice I would be wondering where the Impala is👍 headed. I know that somewhere down the road I will be coming back to this video and shaking my head in disbelief.
All round great episode. Ash driving the Impala chassis out from under itself was the highlight.
Pakistani rope start: thumbs up. Hoist: Thumbs up. Biscayne chrome and Dan's smile: thumbs up. Supernaturally good-natured: Thumbs up. Yoga the f*cking thing out: Thumbs up. Greasy flips. Thumbs up. Ash driving the Imp out of the Ala: Thumbs up. Awesome episode.
good afternoon.
Congrats on the lift, looking good! Invaluable tool indeed. The Chevy coming along nicely. Hard to believe Tom was willing to part with such a fine example. The drone footage is always a nice touch. Thanks for the update on the cabin! Cheers! 😎👍🏎🏁🏁
I was born in 1960 so really the top car on my list would be a 60 Ford station wagon, then a 68 Cougar XR7 and a 68 Galaxie 500 fastback.
Thanks!
Whoa! Thanks so much vettekid! That is so generous of you to pitch in so much to help keep the old show on the road here... All the very best as always from me and the Menace dog and all of the Agents!
Laura's cabin is going to be awesome! She has got to be one of the most comedic woman that I have ever seen. On top of that, she is highly intelligent and gorgeous. Are you sure that you are related Scott, maybe you were adopted?! ?! LOL 😆 🤣 😂.
This might just have been your best episode yet, my flabber is completely gasted!
Cheers, see you Thursday. I shudder to think what you might get up to by then!
Wow! That lift is going to be an amazing addition to the plantation.
The forklift paid its way once more. Can't wait to see the video of it going to Kyle's for a makeover.
Congrats to Laura and her hubby for the progress so far. Impressive work by John.
Oh.. please tell Ash to not drink and drive. I mean.. look what he did to that car! Tore it apart. Wow.
Well, Scott.. you really didn't disappoint with this episode (not that you usually do). Fantastic.
Cheers to you, Frankers, the agents and of course to the foreman and Honey Bunny too.
Not only is Dean supernaturally good natured he is also blessed with a Summer fashion sense second to none. The man is a style icon!
yer supposed to shout "Clear! " when using a strap around a wheel to start the engine. love it!
Or switch is on--Contact!
Scott don't forget that impala steering wheel one of the prettiest GM made
🍻🍻🍻🍻 4 beer show. Thanx
Absolutely hilarious starting the car with a strap! Bravo!
I've had cars with a clutch that sticks to the plate and flywheel. Before dropping a spinning wheel I would first try to break the disk free by applying brake force as I added throttle to maintain the engine speed. It puts a BUNCH of progressive torque into the driveline without so much excitement. I've grown timber 45 years. Laura's timbers are from a different world.
Congratulations on the having the rack up, what a life changing piece of equipment. Obviously there were several violations that the Canadian version of OSHA would not be too thrilled with.
I still prefer the name “ impain” for the grief it’s about to give you 😂
Rockstar forklift for the win.
Opening scene was epic. Had a good laugh seeing the bottom of the car leaving without the top. Lots of hard work and planning to make that scene. Congratulations agents.
This is already forkin’ excellent. Only problem I see, is you can now never retire or die. I can’t imagine who beside you would maintain an outdoor hoist in working condition.
murther fu... the Pakistani truck Starter trick worked! Spliting up isn't that bad... And a Cabin update. Good show!
Happy Canada Day everyone 🇨🇦🎉😊
the most important thing to make sure cant fail is the swing pins for the arms that hit the ground to release the lock, waylon wire found that out the hard way several months back
as this is an outside lift double check if they dont lock in as the lift goes up the lift cuts out
if the pins jam from dirt or rust the arms can slip out from under the car
👍 Chad. You have some great karma headed your way. I’m sure. 👊
Maybe Chad felt guilty as the 2 bits of trim missing on Dan's chev he had whipped off that car many moons ago lol
@@jamesogden7457🤣🍻
That 2-Dr is so beautiful it will be named the most beautiful thing ever made, 50yrs from now.
