    I can't decide whether this guy is a genius, totally insane or just someone who enjoys a challenge...But, as a long-time problem-solver & DIRer myself, I love these videos. I don't think there is one other person out of a million who has the confidence that they can get a "hunk of junk" like this running again.
    When I was a kid, more than 60 years ago, I "helped" my older brother restore a '31 Model A to running condition...but it was in way better shape than this truck to start with.
    Ten years later I found myself working for a car restoration shop near Cranbury, NJ, for awhile. (I had "fallen" for the owner's daughter, and he gave me the job when I needed it.) That owner (Mr.Clickner) was not a mechanic but, rather, a sheet metal genius...so, when necessary, he'd create new body panels from scratch, rather than having to find salvage parts for some pretty rare cars, like the 1915 Metz that we restored.

    I´m just seeing a pile of rust and moss, it´s incredible how these old machines can be brought back to life, i´d never imagine it would run again :D

    Always excited to watch your videos. Its very satisfying when you get something that shouldnt run back up and running. Cant wait for more on the cuda. 🙂
