Enjoyed your sarcastic humor, little brother! From an old man in South Africa that also plays with cars🙂
Thank you! I enjoy seeing all the cool stuff you build down there in South Africa!
@@CarterAutoRestyling us real car guys are the same all over the planet🙂👍
Small world! Subscribed to your channel too!😁👍
@philmickey7247 thank you Sir 😊
Me two also from South Africa. I shall seek your channel after this cool one 😊
I'm just one guy, but I do watch them all. Love seeing the cat mix ins.
Thank you George!
I'll keep watching no matter what time of year it is
Thanks Brian!
"I wouldn't sponsor me , either!" You definitely made my day !!! 🤣🤪🥴
I love your humor that dry style reminds me when I had something to laugh about😅
It’s quite something to have made a channel with such a fan base. I too once laughed. Ah, what a minute that was.
Sounds like a valve may be sticking open. Watch that cold war motors guy, he works on a lot of flathead 6's.
I don't know about that Coldwarmotors guy. Seems like kind of a shady character!
@@CarterAutoRestyling maybe, but he did sell you a one owner pristine condition farm truck.
@@shadetreemechanicracing22 and it was running when parked... allegedly
If there isn't snow on the ground, are you really in Canada, and not some tropical oasis? I think that you should at least pull the head off of the Pontiac. Since the valves are in the block, it should be easy. You could clean the tops of the pistons, and maybe around the valves. If you're careful you can reuse the head gasket.
I was thinking the same, won't hurt to at least have a look at what's going on inside. I think I'll wait to pull the head until it's moved inside the garage so I don't have to push it haha.
Estonia cheers you brother, sheetmetal work is painful art that doesnt get appretiated enough...!!!
Hello Kyle, I love those old early 50's GM cars. My brother just gave me a 1977 Chevy Malibu classic sport. It's like your's but with two less doors. It has a 121220 miles and was bought locally. I'm pretty happy to have it to tinker with.
That's awesome! Good luck with the new project!
16:52 Woohoo "Banned in Canada" - Like the best weed killer ever? And for people from other countries, it was banned because people "Thought" it was bad. Such a shame. Maybe you're right and I'll have to oder my Killex and Krud Kutter from another country in the future.
And it's obviously very desirable.. That's why no one else wanted it while it sat languishing forever.. Four doors are like that.. 😂😂 BTW.. LOVE the Red Green vibes!
When it was spinning over with plugs in it sounds like not all cylinders have compression. Probably some stuck valves. Some valves might be accessible through the plug holes and may be able to be tapped down. I did like the good access you had to the clutch. You couldn't free off a flathead ford like that. Nice job on the rust. I need something like that for my 32 sedan. That's a job I'm not looking forward to. Oh yeah, my views have tanked too, but I put that down to the T-Bird not being as popular as the 100E. Ok mate, catch you next time! Mart.
Hi Mart. Thanks for your input on the Pontiac engine. I think once I get the car moved inside, I'll pull the head off so I have full access to mess with the valves. Ps. Nice work getting the T bird to run on 4 barrels! It sounds great!
Florida here. I need these videos to get through the long, long hot summer that we have coming up. The walk from one’s air conditioned home to air conditioned car leaves you drenched in sweat. 🥵
I suffered this video twice so you could get an extra view and so I could feel like I actually did something today
You are a true philanthropist- twice? My god, how? 😂
I love Pontiac's. I have 1 myself 1968.
Battery sponsors? I sure need a oil and transfusion oil sponsor 🤣. I'm sure someone from Cuba is watching this and thinking like what the hell are you doing to this car. Flooded cars are a kind of nightmare just like a engine full of mouse house or it having furry pistons inside. Good thing this has a mechanical clutch so with some work the flywheel is salvageable but the clutch friction plate maybe too far gone. Not sure you can even get a replacement clutch for these anymore. Ring gear might need investigating further if the teeth are not chipped off it can live.

Let me guess, you recently purchased some Google stock.
That's a rare 53 or 54 Pontiac Submarine! Add a magnetic oil drain plug and fill with rotella 4 oil. It will repay you with love and torque you didn't expect.
lol the hubcaps are still holding the wheels on-amazing considering wheel covers are as useful as engine covers and bumper stickers
Awesome puppet show! I haven't messed around with puppets since my grade school counselor was asking me a lot of uncomfortable questions. As you know most of my YT viewing is cats playing with string, so I'm not familiar with this "run and drive" thing you have come up with... But I gota say... I think you're on to something there. You better do some more videos like this before everybody on YT starts doing it. Your loyal viewer in a shed.. in Merica.
Hi Randahl. I'm glad the puppet show was able to bring back some fond childhood memories!
It's time to put on makeup... It's time to dress up right...
@@glennnickerson8438 😆😆
Kyle you're a man of many talents, I love your channel!
Thank you!
I really love the Pontiac, but I am disappointed that you didn’t show any of all that reupholstery work that you did or even mention the fabric used as you climbed into that sweet ride. I guess you must be saving that for an upcoming video? I’ve used that Kurd Kutter stuff before and loved the results, but I don’t have your expertise. 👍💯
Upholstery restoration video coming soon!
@@CarterAutoRestyling Kyle, can you reupholster your jacket while at it???😂😂😂
Probably you could Cover the gel with a think plastic foil to prevent It fromm drying too fast.
To funny...you remind me of myself 45 years ago...it's all 👍
if anyone wver ask you if you work on submarine engines, now you can say yes
also lovely pupet
Haha thanks!
Cute car, like Granny’s ride. I respect how secure you are in your manliness.
I could sponsor you. It wouldn't be very helpful, though. I only have one battery, too.
I am surprised that engine started never mind that you were able to drive the beast!! Nice work Kyle!!
put some plastic warp on after you put on the rust goop keeps it from drying out while it works.
Good idea, thanks!
The chicken puppet seems to think that the truck is his... He seems very enthusiastic! A good addition to the team.
Too bad so much of that Pontiac is missing. It's kind of a sweety.
I was gonna ask where you got the Krud stuff. Now I don't have to.
Hey, It came apart didn't it. It's not wrong if it works. Taking the Scenic Route.
I think the Ole Pontiac is a pretty cool car, I would have to save it just because it's something you don't see very often and it would make a sweet little sled, I think you're right about a stuck valve or possibly burnt but it's worth looking into
UK here, i always watch your videos love the tappy tappy tinwork, keep up the good work.
It comes up on my recamended part On the tv in fact my phone and tablet as well.
You could get a serious case of waffle cheeks in that car.
Wow Kyle! creeping in on 40K subscribers! Truly deserved my virtual friend. Tell Poe I said "meow"
When I saw the thumbnail I was “Wow, is that the car that was driven by Rusty Nightmare, the famous Canadian Country Western singer!”
Well, must say I’m a little let down, but good video anyway Kyle.
i like the idea of using the flathead, those old Chevy ohv's were not that efficient either. The flathead looks way cooler and unique.
A very underestimated channel. Thanks.
You could try covering the gel with plastic foil and give it more time before it dries.
Great idea! Thank you Dennis!
😅😅😅 same here...one battery for a few cars that are sitting. Can't justify having batteries in each vehicle. To made projects 😅
I would love to buy you a battery, but the postage from my place is too much!
And licking stamps and getting battery acid on your tongue can be painful!😣
Rust removal product tip, left for dead flathead going flub-flub-flub, and CHICKEN PUPPET!! Quality entertainment.
From the smoke coming out of the breather the rings are probably shot. Also sounds like you have a rod knock somewhere in it. If it was a straight 8 I would say go for it, but just run it till it dies.
With optional Venti-Bench™️ front seat. Very rare.👏
The Chicken narrator is a wonderful channel representative. A great attention getter. Pass the old.Chevy engine on to Coldwar Motors.
You can only drive one at a time. Only one battery required.
The chicken mit is a fun idea. Keep it up and the Algorithm will swallow you whole. 😂
well i been watching you from start and love ever one so i told you why but soon i going help you out .
I like the patina on the front fenders from the many hours of someone leaning over them trying to get it running.
Yes every vehicle was running when it ran last. According to the owner
The fact that it idles as well as it does kinda says the internals of that motor are not that bad "probably". The "coughing" you are hearing in the carburetor kinda indicates you might have a stuck or burnt intake valve. Most likely stuck. If you are hearing similar poping from the exhaust, the same thing applies only on the exhaust valve side. I would try some STP additive in the oil or maybe some Marvel mystery oil. Beyond that, you are looking at removing the head to determine damage/condition. A vacuum gauge is also a simple way to determine things. A strong reading (16-18) but the needing bouncing a lot says good rings (compression) but bad valves.
Use a "stove bolt" in the truck. A late one with pressurized oil system and hydraulic lifter if possible.
Thanks for the input. I did put a vacuum gauge on it but forgot to include that in the video. The needle was bouncing around so you are probably right about the valve issues. I may end up pulling the head once I get it moved into the garage for disassembly
here's a fun project for you to waist some time . . . . . . remove spark plugs and apply air with your compression tester and compressor - listen to the carburetor if you here air "bad intake valve" then exhaust (tail pipe) if you here air "bad exhaust valve" that should save you the trouble of tearing apart the engine , remember that thing probably only had 80HP new
Stick with the Chevy engine.The poncho flathead might be better for someone else’s project. The seat is looking much more comfortable with that expensive cardboard cover
Nice work on engine. After seeing the clutch, I thought-- no way . Very impressive. I will also stop by Canadian Tire to pick up the rust converter. Thanks for showcasing the product.
I liked the chicken puppet. The Pontiac 6 would be a unique motor for a unique truck . The Indian head steering wheel is very cool . In the warmer weather I just watch videos later in the day . Thanks Kyle
I dunno - all things considered, the old Pontiac ran pretty well. It's not ready for the highway but since it's been sitting for who knows how many years it could be a lot worse.
As for the Krud Kutter, I'll bet if you put some plastic kitchen wrap over the top it would work better without drying out.
A flathead shouldn't require that much work , even compare to a later Chevy inline six. Not to get perfect. New pistons, bearing, quick hone. Lifters. There are a lotless parts in a flathead. And it's way cooler for that truck.
After applying the rust remover, cover it with plastic food wrap. The evaporation weakens the reaction. Also it's easier to remove.
Do not do this in direct sun. The plastic WILL weld to the car.
Ask me how I know.
Haha leaving the plastic on in the sun sounds like something I'd do! Thanks for the tip!
Its a cool old car. Thanks for sharing. Cruising season has started in Edmonton so less time for videos for sure. Cheers
I have always wanted to drill out random spot welds just to see what's happens. Hummm... nothing.
It would be great to use the flathead in the chicken truck . Enjoy
Currently I use liquid Ospho rust converter. Both Ospho and Krud Kutter contain phosphoric acid as an active ingredient. I have learned that Ospho reacts with concrete if dripped onto it. So I try to apply it over cardboard to avoid contact with concrete. Another great Video. Comp test that Indian Chief, You might just have a sticking valve in block. Might gain acess thru side cover plates. Dunno much about flathead valve adjustment. Take care sir.
Thank you again for taking the time to make another well produced video. I can see you being sponsored by Krud Kutter. I just ordered some based on your video and endorsement.
I’m not a scientition I’m just making stuff up 😂😂😂
Something this good is bound to get banned in Canada 😂😂😂
T shirt please
Your sarcasm levels are peaking.
Good job on getting the Pontiac running and moving!!
I'll have to check in on the Krud Kutter stuff. Looks to be promising.
BTW....you DID use it at 'room temperature'..... it just so happens the room was a bit cooler than recommended....
Haha good point!
👍😎👍
I use a rust gel remover to when 5 minutes goes by get a pick and start scratching like crazy in those pits so it gets down inside let it set for 10 minutes wipe it off and repeat works great.
I'll watch as long as you're doing something instead of rambling on and on an on😂. What about your buddy at coldwar motors doing an engine for you?
It's always fun to stop by to see what you're up to.
It’s a cool old engine but I’d have to go with a Chevy 6. But either way, I’m watching!
10,000 year old Car & that would make you 21 for about the 476th time, you sound good mate for someone so young 👍
Mid-City Motors, Saskatoon. In my teens I used to walk through their show room ogling the new models on my way to catch the bus home from St. Paul’s High School on 22nd Street. So cool!
Small world! That's awesome, I was wondering where abouts Mid City was located!
@@CarterAutoRestyling 4th Avenue and 20th Street
You starter motor amateur! That's not how you take them apart. That's how you convert them to 6v for really really old cars.
Suspect that spray bottle may have a “spray” setting, and covering the area with plastic wrap might keep it wet.
I had a 1941 Pontiac 6 cyl rebuilt a couple of years ago for my 1938 and there is a huge amount of parts still available .. not a cheap exercise .. well done on getting it running. they don't build them like this anymore ...
I would watch more video's of yours.
But you haven't filmed them yet.
Celsius.
30 is warm
20 is nice
10 is cool &
0 is ice.
That’s for all of us F dummies.
If you're using the Pontiac frame, don't give up on the flathead, it might not cost a lot to hone and re-ring it.
You truly have a great channel. Entertaining and informative at the same time. I'll be watching all your videos!
Thank you!
I watched this just to hear my name mentioned. My fragile ego needed boosting again!
Haha glad I could help with that!
A 1954 5 window GMC sold at auction local to me the other day. Seemed like the kinda truck you'd have wanted for $235
Take the pontiac to a field - start it in gear and do donuts till the engine explodes.
Get a tetanus shot before testing out that seat
The problem with that engine isn't the fact that it was used as an anchor for a submarine, it's that you used a cheap dollar store water bottle to fill it with fuel. You should have used a smartwater bottle. 😂
I’m subscribed, leaving a like and a comment. Hang in there Kyle! I’ll be here next week.
Thanks!
So try doing all you did to your Pontiac at -30. Been my life story.
Applause for Ken. a couple a month is ok. much more than that without progress is wasteful, I agree. Be well. Cluck, Cluck.
I have tried all manner of rust removal shit. In my opinion, if you can soak it, use Evaporust; if you can't soak it, use Ospho. Those two work well on heavy rust. On lighter stuff, I have used a Loctite and Permatex product, both in brush on and spray that leave a paintable primer surface. I have used all of these with no rust through problems on restorations. That stuff seems to work well though!
Try some high zinc T1 Rotella 50 weight Diesel oil in it and see if it's quiet enough.
I say.. Keep the flathead 6. Hand lap the valves. Clean the crud out of it. Rebuild that carb.
I'd like to see you swap that dash into the truck. It's a cool looking dash, that you wouldn't see on anything else...
That dash is definitely very cool
Hey Kyle, love your channel! I've heard of good rust removing results with phosphoric acid. Maybe that is worth a try someday.
Thanks! I believe the Krud Kutter has phosphoric acid in it...or at least that's what it says on the label
definitely keep the videos coming...i watch year round...always need that inspiration between work on my projects!
Needs more hot sauce down the yapper
Gonna hit 40k subscribers with this video. Thanks for all the work you do Kyle.
Thanks! Keep up with the great videos buddy!!
Thank you Mark! I'll do my best to keep the videos coming!
I thought I recognized that car, and sure enough when I saw that clutch and flywheel it's confirmed. That was the original car used at Mrs. Puff's driving school way before SpongeBob was born.
That explains the rust.
You can use a thin sandwich wrap over the rust remover to keep it from drying out longer.
Thank you Kyle for the effort you put into the videos. I wish you were around doing this when I was young. (to old now) What part of Saskatchewan are you in. Kind regards.
Thanks for watching! I'm in Saskatoon
