MUSCLE CAR REVIVAL After 20+ Years - '64 Pontiac Lemans
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 вер 2024
- I snagged this 1964 Pontiac Lemans with a 400 and a 4 speed off marketplace, so we take it back home to wrench on it and bring it back to life. It's a pontiac, so it is of course totally uneventful.

You can tell Dalton really cares about this car when he uses no self tappers, he even removed one😱
Scary.
That’s because it’s the only car he’s ever had with floors
Haha ! The Self Tapper King, like a character on The Simpsons.
Does he know how to weld? I'd always wondered just because sometimes it seems easier
Hey Dalton, as someone who got seriously ill from spraying spray paint and being around the fumes, even with a KN 95 mask, I found a decent dual filter painter’s mask on EBay for a surprisingly low cost.
I won’t spray without it anymore.
If you don’t want to use one for big spraying jobs, please at least get one for JD, his lungs are still young and they’re the only set he’ll ever have.
I’ve told him similar, but without that kind of experience. My old man briefly met the man who invented spray paint cans, and he said he would never personally use one because of breathing paint. Told my dad he shouldn’t use them either. Dude was rich af. Forget exactly how they met I think the guy was friends with his boss or something.
I literally painting my last vehicle about three vehicles go just using a mask and yeah, your eyes are even at North us so basically, now I have a full face shield for Spring or any super noxious fuels but mostly just spring anything via cans or paint it might help to add that if people don’t know what I’m talking about it’s a full face with a respirator included, which you can swap out the filters at least up here in Calgary There’s a place called KMS tools and U fusion get the filters and even a face mask for a decent price
"Hey, let's revive this Pontiac!" Fires right up. "Now what?" Classic!
🤣Yeah $4800 revival
I'm so stoked to see this bad mother get painted. I love that you don't just "LET THE PATINA SHOW THROUGH" on beautiful old cars, you bring them back to their original-ish glory with body work and a paint job.
Me too. I am so tired of the patina thing. Truthfully I never liked it at all.
Dalton, I obviously don’t know you from Adam but I’m very happy that UA-cam has afforded you the opportunity to purchase these vehicles. You’ve got the perfect temperament for this kind of work. As an ol Missouri boy myself(opposite end from you deep in the bootheel), rest assured that I support your ventures.
I support this comment. JDS and Junkyard digs/mook are good ones too. I have my “larger” car guys like VGG, Cleetus, JH, TA, etc…. But I love the little guys that do it how you and me can afford😊
Grass roots are better than corporate roots. Not told what they can/can't do, not accepting many sponsors unless the product is used and proven, no shareholders or production companies to pay. That's how it should be!! Grass roots 4 life!!!! PBG forever!!!!!
Dalton
Been watching your show off and on for about 2 years or so
I really like your content
But your foul language turns me away from your channel and I imagine many other people
I would really appreciate it
if you could chill out on the foul language
Thanks
Jp
I watch this channel religiously as well as Puddin's Fab Shop and Mortske Repair
If you think Dalton is bad try listening to peg on zip ties and bias plies. Every other word is beeped out.
Can confirm as a motorcycle mechanic that 7:15 is most certainly an industry term. I'm also from the U.K so can confirm it's even an inter continental one. Bonnet-hood Gearbox-Transmission boot-trunk wing-fender Manual-stick Petrol-Gas Silencer-muffler, we can agree to disagree on those, but "It's f**ked'' is one we all agree on in all English speaking nations.
Absolutely!
Reminds me of the spoof Ladybird Book on Car Mechanics, 'It's f*cking f*cked mate, big time.'
was about to comment the exact same thing but you won me to it lol. @@cogboy302
In my experience even some non English speaking nations use the term “it’s fucked”
I really hope this revival is followed by a full build series. This car deserves it, and maybe you can incorporate some of the pending skygoat go fast goodies into the build.
Automatics are nice, but that extra pedal makes any car fun.
I wish I’m a member I’m broke
Your son is the best sidekick ever 👍🇺🇸
My grandfather passed away a while ago and he left my mom his 64 GTO he bought new in 63 and everything on it is original except the 406 he put in it in 2008. the crager SS wheels on it are one year younger than the car itself. Much respect and support from Eastern Iowa! ❤
R.I.P to your pops,lost my dad about 9yrs ago know the feeling. It's more than car that he left behind,but more the memories and sentimental memories that he made with the car. Never get rid of it at all cost 👌😎
Dalton's enthusiasm for the car is awesome, can't wait to see what you do with it.
If PBG ever ventures into making power tools, I would like to pitch a pressure washer hooked up to a 55 gallon drum of brake clean. Just think of the savings compared to all those spray cans! Plus you could add an igniter from a barbecue and turn it into a flame thrower.
Id buy that in a heartbeat 😂
It’s people like you that keep this planet moving forward!👍🇳🇿
I know you’re joking, but just buy acetone and throw it in a spray bottle?
@@swamp-yankeeThat's penetrating fluid. Brake cleaner cleans without residue. Totally different use case.
@@kw9849 wait, does it only evaporate if it’s sprayed from a can? Not trying to argue, but I don’t follow.
Finally! Someone who is not a huge fan of patina, loves white lettered tires, chrome mags, and a shiny car. Doesn't have to be perfect, just look cool. I get so disappointed when I see other people take an iconic American Muscle Car, throw tons of money at the engine, suspension, and sometimes interior but refuse to address the rust on and under the car because it looks "cool." A 1952 International pickup farm truck might look ok with patina, but not a muscle car. I'm old enough to remember when most of these cars were new. I get repairing/rebuilding on a budget. We've all had to do that, but when you have a little cash and really sink your teeth into something, you're a damn fine mechanic. This build is going to be a treat. First year of the iconic GTO/LeMans/Tempest body style through 67. It's gonna be fun. You're funny as hell, too. The well-spoken but deadpan delivery is a hoot. Keep on rocking!
agreed. to me, patina is just a pile of junk you cant be bothered/afford to fix properly so you throw money at the wrong areas of the car. Patina on something like the Holey Goat tells its story. on a 'regular' vehicle, it just makes it look worn out and ready to be put in its final resting place/parted out.
@@petelattimer6808 Absolutely agree, but some people just LOVE their patina. I was at a car show last year, and a friend and I were looking at a 1962 Chrysler 300 Sport Coupe with a factory manual floor shift. Can't remember if it was a 383 or a 413. The car was in great shape but had surface rust on the body (patina) and needed an interior. No big deal. I told my friend that this car was great, it just needed a decent paint job, and new seat upholstery and carpet. I told him that the "patina" made the car look like a rust bucket. Well, the owner of the car (whom I didn't know) overheard me and got really ticked off and offended because he heard me say that I didn't like patina and beat up seats on a classic car. It was not my intention to insult the guy or his car, I didn't know he was listening to my conversation. At any rate, I just walked away. I felt sorry for the car. It deserved a better owner. And I've never seen the car again. If the guy loves rust, more power to him.
@@garybush6117 I am so glad others are speaking out about the patina look. I wouldn't want to insult anyone either but I detest it
@@michaelharper-uw3dn Patina has its place like I mentioned above. If I were attending a car show/cruise-in and saw a patina car, such as maybe a classic Dodge Charger or some other classic, it wouldn't matter to me how much money was thrown at the engine or undercarriage. All I would see in my mind's eye is a rust bucket POS. My show cars were never perfect but they were clean, detailed and as rust free as I could make them. But whatever floats their boat, I guess.
I don't have life insurance on you yet -Jess 😂😂😂😂😂
Jess for president…..we dont need no stinkin dei president
If jess dont wanna run, we’ll take Jim
Man, it's nice seeing Dalton happy.
He’s not Dale Petty happy but definitely happy
"Most channels wash the car first" - You sir, are a badass. Thank you for your content and knowlege. I don't even fix cars, I watch you because you aren't a jerk and I learn stuff I may never use... but I learn new stuff.
You really nailed it with the wheels and the exhaust !!! Agreed--NO patina !!
Dalton, when you and JD were winding through the gears on the '64 4 speed,the laughter and sheer joy was something that HAS to evoke a big grin from anybody with a heartbeat! So There! JD, Buddy, enjoy this time as it is special indeed.
I look forward to the continuation of this build, reminds me of a buddy's car in high school that was thoroughly enjoyed.
Back in the day, I drove a "68 Firechicken, 400 H/O, fully muscled out. Just like Dalton said, this wasn't just a car, it was a Pontiac! It carried it's balls in a wheelbarrow too.
The look JD gave when you said the batteries were dyeing so you had to go home was priceless. Another video that you wish would never end. 100% enjoyment throughout.
Cool Le Mans, I was so happy to see you guys didn't undercoat the driveshaft! A friend of mine used to work at a Dodge dealership in the early 70's in Florida, where they supplied the local Police Department with their squad cars. He undercoated ALL the police car driveshafts as a graduation gift to himself. There were lots of vibration soaked police cars on patrol! Great content! Keep it up!!!
This makes me beyond happy. I come from a Pontiac family, my mom drove us around in a four door '65 LeMans for years. This one is what I wished that car was
I'm seriously surprised you don't have a million subs by now.
Just finished watching Kevin and his luxury land yacht and now this! Friday has just gotten so much better now! Love getting the early videos and helping you "Not Lose the Shop!"
Man I had a 64 lemans for 2 days , I bought it for 100 bucks from my uncle , spent 2 days fixing it all up and put new cragers all around,was all black
Looked sweet, took it to keg party after a football game and saw a friend walking, so I gave him a ride , he threw a cigarette out the window and it flew back in, I parked the car and later someone said it was smoking
The whole car burned before the fire department could get there, the tow truck driver took my rims as payment for the tow
Was supposed to be my car when I turned 16 , shame I loved that ride, enjoy yours bro
When you looked at him did you see the devil like in Planes Trains and Automobiles?
@@tbrackett8389 HAHA !!!!!
Dalton is like a big kid when he initially drove the Lemans in his field. Always fun to watch this channel.
That cigarette hanging out of his mouth, and his foul language, disgusting garage. Oh yeah his video's are classy.
@@tombom1250people like you are what keep me doing it, grow a pair
16:45 Super Clean FOAMING Tough Task Cleaner-Degreaser works AMAZING! I was Very Impressed with the ease of Application and the POWER of the cleaner! I have to have several bottles of it for my vehicle, because it's a Lincoln and there is a little oil leak, unheard of, yes. Thank you Super Clean Brands for giving Pole Barn Garage that product to demonstrate with! Send him more! I'm buying some right now!!
I’ve used Super Clean purple liquid for over 10 years, great product. I need to try their foam sometime
@@RustyZipper I've gotten by with Simple Green for practically everything thus far. Sometimes reaching for a random can of "Engine Degreaser" of some type. Thanks for the testimonial on Super Clean Purple. Have a great weekend!
I agree, great product!
Awesome! Glad to join the low buck club. Keeping me motivated getting my 66 Mercury Parklane going. Sat since 1986 in a barn, drove under it's own power for the first time last week. Learned a ton from what you are doing here.
Right on man good job
My brother passed away in 2021 and left me his 67 GTO, which has been just sitting since. This was just the inspiration I needed to try to get it going. Thanks, Dalton.
The best automotive youtuber their is, relatable with basic down to earth and does stuff as cheap as can be like most who don't have millions lol
i think this might be my new favorite car on the channel, in my opinion she deserves every penny
Yup !!! I found PBG from Kevin's channel (Junkyard Digs) but I like Dalton and JD WAY better, oh also if Dalton's wife is willing to get into the trunk to lay down some sound flashing, you know she's a keeper.
Dalton is rocking the Mortske Repair shirt!!!! Awesomeness!! You and him should do a collab at some point
Such a great rig. Now that’s a car. Hope to see a build series on it.
Was just looking for something to watch while I eat lunch working my 6th day straight this week. Man these cars are awesome! And it's a 4 speed, dude you scored.
I like the uncertainty on JD’s face as you bang gears and he eyeballs the gauges and listens to the engine push through the clutch! She’ll come around with a few more parts thrown at it. Cool hot rod rake and the wheels are spot on!
I’ve been running to Ollie’s every couple of weeks to hourd brake cleaner and carb cleaner to begin my slow rebuild of my 69 C10. Cleaning out garage and building work benches. Pretty soon I won’t have any excuses to not begin my build.
Hey Dalton, it’s probably been said a lot, so I’ll say it again, another top tier episode! Ever since you went full time the quality has increased exponentially. Not that it was bad before but with more time you have really taken it up ten levels. 💯
Love the frame-off restoration tips and tricks!
Probably one of my favorite cars yet. What a beauty. Thanks Dalton for the great content.
That is my favorite Pontiac from the 60's. That front end is gorgeous.
I'm definitely with you about the patina crap. Can't wait to see more on it. I love that car.
Totally agreed !! It is stunning !!
I love you don't lower your cars. Lowered cars look like clapped out junk. Same with steel wheels and poverty caps and patina paint.
yeh thats my favorite too.
All I can say is JD is the luckiest kid in the world. He gets to enjoy great automobile. He does it with his dad.
I can tell you were super stoked for this build. Glad to see it on the road in it's professionally clapped out glory.
I am a pontiac guy and I love the fact that you save these pontiacs
Thanks for the birthday present Dalton! It was my 21st yesterday... so I'm a little groggy. Might have to re-watch it a few times.
Congrats man! 🎉
@@The_VanTM thanks. Definitely had a little too much. I'm still really tired. And its been 6 hours. But I think almost every has on their 21st
@@mad-mason0319 🤷♂️ I’m 27 and still ain’t got drunk at a barn. Nobody says you gotta. I got my binge drinking out of the way while it was still illegal. Don’t let it ruin ya. Alcoholics are so annoying.
Happy belated birthday!
Man, I love your passion for Pontiac...my favorite auto maker since my Dad bought a '70 Goat brand new. I simply LOVED this video, and you're dead bang right about those rims. Perfect.
Now you're talking love the 64 I had one in 67 and Put a 427 BB L88 and a M22 in 456 gears M&H slicks 12 bolt posi and street raced the hell out of it sunoco 260 was 35 cents a gallon what a great time in my life I was 25 then ,
**murders an iconic Vette- Cheverizes a Pontiac...*
Best episode ever!! I absolutely love this cars! That’s the car that started it all!
Still can't get over how awesome this is!
"It's not just a car,it's a Pontiac". Great line Sir. I'm 54 and grew up around Pontiacs. Thank you for bringing back some great memories of a great period in my life. Keep being You and don't change a thing!!
I'm in the process of building my 80s s10 blazer 4wd 4 speed v6 and I could only get the courage to do this because of people like you thank you Dalton
Dalton has already ordered $6,000 in parts for this car. He really really likes this car and I do too! It’s one of the rare purchases that doesn’t have see thru floor pans and I really can’t see anything at all wrong with the body, especially in the rear quarters where most muscle cars have either major rust or major body filler. I would rather start with a good body because the mechanical side is easy. Starting with a mechanically sound car that has a terrible body is MUCH more work in the end.
I like seeing Dalton genuinely excited about a car, it just means we get a real deal regular guy restoration.
God I love it Dalton!!!! I agree with everything you did to it but I might have opted for a dual service master cylinder. I have crap for luck with old rusty brake lines. I definitely love the sound, the air shocks, and the Cragars!!!! One thing I will never understand is why people think it's cool to lower their trucks. A truck is meant to be lifted. I see duallies running around scraping the ground. What the hell good is that when it's time to hook the gooseneck up? It's like putting a lift kit on a Corvette. Blasphemy as far as I'm concerned. And then I've seen them lower them and put air bags on it. They go on a long road trip and guess what fails? The bags!!! So they have their other toys loaded up on a gooseneck being pulled by what looks like a sparkler running down the road. Just stupid. But I love what you are doing and can't wait to see Part 2 on this. I am expecting much improvement on the interior and hopefully a decent paint job on the body. Thanks for the content!!!!!!
Just got done watching a jyd video and now this? Awesome Friday.
Dalton you and jess seem like a perfectly matched couple, having fun and feeding off each other
Must do it Right.
Your own Pontiac Museums .😂😂😂😂
“Cragar” wheels with raised white letter tires?? Add some racing yellow plug wires and you’ll have a guy in North Dakota pooping in his Dickie shorts.😆 Love the car, big fan of the Pontiac. Say NO to the patina! Make her shine like the day she was built. Congrats on a spectacular find! Can’t wait to see more.
Yep patina sucks, starting bodywork as we speak
True story, I bought a 1997 Honda Civic coupe, swapped the single cam 1.5L (D15B) for a dual cam 1.8L (B18B1) from a junkyard, put an eBay turbo kit on it with supporting mods (bigger injectors, fuel pump, ARP head studs, Cometic MLS head gasket), got it street tuned using Crome the cheapest way possible, and it ran a 14.7 @ 100 MPH on 8 lbs of boost spinning all the way through 2nd on very hard 205/40/17 cheap tires...and I missed the 2-3 shift. I paid $1000 for the car, the engine was $250, the GSR transmission was $250, the turbo kit was $450, the supporting mods were probably $500 all-in, and the tune was $100. So for around $2100 I had a car that looked good and was really fun to drive. I'm sure there are plenty of y'all who can beat that story, so let me hear them! This was just one of mine.
4,000 dollar C55 AMG
£650 Skoda Octavia 1.8t 20v 4x4 got given bigger turbo injectors and a fmic for free from my friend. Tuned it cost me £260. So £910 for a 300bhp family estate car with 4wd and only weighs 1500kg 👌🏿👌🏿 it’s a pretty fun car real loud spits flames exhaust comes out the side made it all with me friend. I love doing things cheap 👌🏿👌🏿
🤣 that’s awesome.
@@Binge420is it a rust bucket or it is a nice chassi ? I bet it haul ass!!
In 2003 I purchased a 1992 Corolla from a college student who forgot that engines require oil. I gave the kid $100 for the car. Being a Toyota mechanic I put a crank kit in it, dingle balled the cylinders and put new rings in it and lapped the valves and put new valve stem seals in it . Timing belt and associated parts and it was running like new. The car put two of my children through college and then I use it to “kick around “ in because gas prices went up. Other than tires, belts, and regular maintenance it’s not needed any unscheduled repairs. The a/c is still ice cold and never had a drop of freon added to the system. It’s old and ugly so I have something in common with it. I told my son that if it ever lays down on me because of the engine or transmission I’m going to mount the valve cover on my shop wall and I’ll make an end table out of the block. The rest of her will be recycled and likely shipped to China where it will be used to make some crappy products that will help put an American company out of business. I guess in our day that’s the Circle of Life.
Haha i love it when you spray the underneath of the cars with bed liner or put a fresh coat of paint on the engine. It really does make it look WAY better, just refreshing to see imo.
This content is so good! I'm hooked!
YUM
Looking forward to seeing more of this car in the future. That's how cars should be, you press the pedal and a joyous laughter appears.
You wanna know how I know Dalton is now editing with Premier Pro -- the double--first frame audio on transitions. Classic. All that said, I really am just guessing. Not that anyone cares what I use or think, but I've had much better luck with DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut.
Great video as always Dalton! What a beautiful LeMans
I’m glad you sad something. I was afraid I was hearing things.
I use premiere pro and have never had that issue. Is it a specific transition? I want to make sure I avoid it.. lol
@@Effect2o to be honest, it just seems like a phenomenon I ran into myself with it, but now that you say that you've never run into it, maybe I'm thinking of vegas or something.
@@spottedtango Once I read it, I got scared. I have gotten into a routine and dont check. Now im worried that some of my stuff could be doing this and I have no idea. lol 😯
That is one beautiful car now. I cannot wait to see the final version of the LeMans.
The Big "Little GTO" Book is how I came to become aware of these amazing cars as a 15 year old dumbass. Now, as a somewhat older dumbass, the '64 Tempest/GTO has only grown on me. Can't wait to see what you do with this beauty, Dalton.
I have that book!
@@PoleBarnGarage - all kinds of gems in that. I haven't read it in a dog's age but I remember the author interviewed retired UAW workers who built GTOs.I guess Pontiac did all the rear axles for Buick/Olds/Pontiac and the woman who inspected/tested them made sure all the best/most quiet axles went to Pontiac, haha. They also talk about how people building cars for drag racing could special order them with no rear seats, no undercoating, etc. It's a really cool read.
I love that mad scientist laugh when you did the test drive and floored it. 👍🏻😅 The old girl looks rather peppy!
JYD to PBG, back to back. Fucking a man.. thank you.
Plus VGG, Stay Tuned, The Bearded Mechanic, Bikes and Beards, etc...
Your fucking a man, What???
To minimize spillage when removing the coolant funnel, pinch the radiator hose before you stick the stopper in.
I did the mechanical work on a 65 El Camino with a 327 and an M24 Muncie 4 spd. I put a 3:48 cone-lock posi in the rear end…you could rev it to 3500 and slide your foot off the clutch and it would lift the left front tire.
Dalton, I'm a 41 year old man, living in the UK... I need a change in my life before my life becomes too much, Got a shed I can sleep in on property, Feed me and I'll work for free..
Come to the United States. My great great great great grandfather left in the mid 1600s.

Work seems easy. It's hard frustrating dirty
I am really excited about his car, all time hype. Thank you for all your time. I appreciate your family and all the fun you guys have.
Dalton this is taffy from the uk i so enjoy every vid you do . and i and my son have just converted his 90 bmw , early cars are so expensive in the uk, even those been sat for yrs i know what i have keep up the good work . i even watch my favourite episodes more than once
Dalton, I didn't read all the comments to make sure this hasn't been said already, but to fight that wheel hop you have to get the rear end down. Rear lower control arms need to be level. There are some bars you can buy called No Hops or Anti Hops that will compensate for the lifted rear some but they're still less than ideal. Love your enthusiasm for this one.
Brother I think you have the best channel on UA-cam, keep em coming. Love that 64, I would rather drive that than a brand new one. I`m a retired and partly disabled Florida State Trooper , but I`m an old school mechanic too and I love this stuff.
54.01 yeah that thing sounds perfect… and your sons sense of humor is awesome… go young man!
I really like the '70s cop show music at the end when you and JD are driving it around.. nice touch!
Of all the vehicles you have done, this one deserves the most attention. It is freaking sweet!
19:06 and this is why I love u and this channel. Keepin the dream alive!!!!
"Now maybe im just trash."
"I am"
That little addition is why i love your channel man. You're unapologetically you and proud of it.
Also, i had to get a PBG lunch pale. I sent mine down I-75 at about 90mph.. It didnt survive :(
Left it on the roof?
@@PoleBarnGarage No i was breaking in a buddies harley. Guess what that bike didnt have? A damn saddle bag. So i used a bungie cable to hold it in place. (
It in fact did not hold it in place)
Well, I-75 by 69 in flint by the gm plant is a very smooth road. Which I'm sure you are painfully aware of.
I absolutely love seeing you tackle projects that nobody would even try. Thanks for the entertaining videos
I’m probably not the first to say but “Inevitable Jim” is always a great addition to an episode. “Machined” *blasts with brake clean”
51:36 I had to go back and watch again. The sound that terminal made when he threw it was wet. Daltons expression made me lol
At 58:36 our guy realized this vehicle had just transformed into the 'fightin the man' car.
This is the only channel that I click the like button for on EVERY video, A: because I want to support the channel, and B: Because I genuinely love every episode...... Thanks for all that you do, all the way from New Zealand!
nice to see you picked up on using some water spray to clean the underside. Many times I have jacked up my rigs on the cement driveway, fired up the pressure washer and blasted away, it does a fabulous job, removes grease and dirt better than brake clean.
Wow, I would think this was a $500 - $1000 car at most, not $4800, so it shows how much I know. Cars that you almost couldn't give away in the past are worth big money now. I look forward to watching the video and seeing what happens to the car. Good job, JD and Dalton ! Those new wheels and rims look perfect !
The 1964 Lemans Tempest and GTO is my favorite year of these cars plus the 64 GTO was the fastest production car of that year and they are the best looking body style ever made.
What a fun video, I can absolute dig the slamming gears and opening up the 400! I know you're a Pontiac guy so I will share a short story that I have from 15 years ago. My son and I went downstate Michigan to buy a bunch of second hand Cragar SS wheels from this place that happened to look like an old garage/ small junk yard. Inside the old hanger building that looked abandoned there was tons of GTO parts brand new from GM. Engines, body parts, interior parts and I even realized on the wall was a whole car sitting there. The guy there with me said his Dad worked for Pontiac during the 50's -80's and was able to get all kinds of stuff back then maybe for free? The car was very rare he said it was a July 1963 build Tempest convertible 389 4v 4 speed car with a rearend instead of the transaxle. From what he said it was one of the last 63 Tempest built before the changeover for the 64 models. Any how loved the video and can't wait to see more of the Lemans and of course the Buick builds (I am a Buick guy)!
Sweet. Glad you're invested in this one. Seems my favorite PBG videos are the ones where you go the extra mile, because you tend to explain things more, and I learn a lot. Can't wait to see what you do with it, man!
The "Extreme oil change" always makes my day 😆😆😆. Cool car!!!
I had a 1964 Lemans convertible in 1969 -1970 in Jacksonville when I was in the Navy and sold it before my next trip in the Navy !!!!!!!! Red -black interior 326 V8 column shift
Beautiful find, have always been a fan of old buicks, pontiacs,& Olds motors. Can't wait to see your traction solution!
I like it when Jim is on the channel, what great friend.
PONTIAC! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Always my favorite. Happy to see it next week. Great video!
Nice car I passed up a 64 Le Mans over a 67 but the 67 was a turnkey drivable car after watching you getting another classic Pontiac drivable I have no excuses to why I have not got my 69 GTO drivable along with 78 Trans Am they don’t have to be perfect to enjoy them keep up the great work and encouraging others
Dalton - another gem of a video. #1 channel on UA-cam!
When I do just a refresh paint under the hood. Without taping stuff off and everything. I just get me a roll of aluminum foil and just crunch it around the thing's I don't want to paint. It's cheap and works great. Works great on motorcycles also when you are trying to give the frame a little refresher and exhaust.
I love your vlog when you are tinkering on going to town rigs you are into (comes through in the tone of your work)…congrats.
"Your" Pontiac is 1 bad ass vehicle. Great purchase, great work thus far. The sound of the Lemans is so sweet. People pay way more money for muffler delete, screw that. You got yourself a fine ride!
Six cyl car with battery tray on the passenger side. Also, the cool Pontiac met as lick engine paint is ‘66 up. The 74 would have the tire was house non metallic. ‘6465 coupes are badass and drive tight. You have a winner there and JD had the coolest dad in his school. This old gearhead approves 100%.
Hi Dalton. It is so fun to see you excited about the car. I look forward to seeing you resto-mod it. I'll watch as you go along and then watch the playlist all the way through.
I say Hell Yeah Dalton on all your choices,Old School !🤔😜😁👍,Excellence...
