I was 16 & a local garage owner hired me ..
A couple yrs later he retired , but for 40 yrs he had piled his scrap behind his barn , which totaled many tons ..
He told me to haul it off h he'd split the ticket with me...
It took me 8 days to haul that pile (mostly brake rotors & drums) to the salvage yard ..
I could take 3 loads a day with my dads 1/2 ton F100 ...
I made just over $4000 as did he . (This was back in 83')
I took that money & bought a 77 3/4 ton Ford & a M.F. diesel tractor ..
I used that truck to deliver firewood & the tractor to haul it outta the wood...
My uncle owned a sawmill & bought standing timber , so I went in & cut the tops up for firewood ..
It was free & plenty of it ...whats more it made for a clean timbering operation .
I delivered up to 25 miles for $50 & with the money I bought my first acreage ...
It was 7.5 acres of beautiful land that had a beautiful stream running through it...
I built a beautiful home there a few yrs later & raised my kids...
It all started with scrapping iron & lots of hard work..
Nice! Love hearing stories like that!
Very cool!
Friend, you had more sense than most at a young age. Most boys would have taken the money that was made from such hard labor and just flat out blew it. My hats off to you for you showed signs of a man early on.
If only others had the drive that you had back in your come up days!!!………people nowadays are all just expecting a handout ot a stimulus check if you will!!! ….yea times have definitely changed, and not for the better!!
Took 900lbs of scrap iron and a mix of other more expensive metals to the recycling yard today. Always a good time making some scrap money.
This MF don't miss. Every video is top notch. Good work. Can't tell you how much I enjoy your channel. Better than half the stuff on cable tv.
More ads on this video than cable tv.
*most the stuff on cable tv lol
I got no ads at all @@InfoprosNetwork
I didn't see one although I have UA-cam premium @@InfoprosNetwork
agreed gus and Jenn just add to the fun. Chris knows his shit, wish he was my neighbor. I just hope kiddo looks more like jenn.😂 Chris is a lucky hardworking guy, I'm happy for him and jenn.
Only thing I like better than doing work is sitting in the AC and watching you do it LOL
Thank you very much for pulling over to help the older brother work on his truck that was very very nice of you appreciate that
Always a good day when NNKH drops a video. Thank you guys!
Everytime !
Agree, love this channel!
Just about to open a bottle of wine and NNKH drops a post… That’s me sorted for the next hour. 😊
I'm a 60yr old lady that really enjoys your channel and Jen's channel. I love that Chevelle! It looks like so much fun to drive.
Great scrap yard run, too!! 👍
Oh Boy Going Swapping With Jackie can't wait for that to drop
Hi Mate, My name is Adam from Adelaide Australia. I thoroughly enjoy your content. I like the variety and love your down to earth attitude. I look forward to everyone you put out. Keep them coming, champ.
I particularly enjoyed your positive attitude about getting to work. " it might be bad weather, you may not feel like it but just get started and before you know it , you are halfway there "( I am paraphrasing. Reminds me of the woodie Allen quote, Just showing up is half the battle.
Excellent advice.
A mechanic, filmmaker, and entertainer!! Thanks for all the knowledge and effort!
I loved the exhaust swinging down. Priceless!!
You always give us home garage mechanics (term used lightly in my case) hope and re-assurance that you dont need trailer queens to have fun with hotrods. Ty
Chris, your camera work is superb. I wish some of the others (Pole Barn, Junkyard Digs, Vicegrip) would come up to your level. I never miss a shot on your builds and your drone work is second to none.
Reminds me of my good ole days, Hittin the jackpot on scrap , helpin out some poor ole guy (trying at least) hot rodding around town gettin some gear scratch, dinking withs some lites on the back of your truck, just a good laid back day. Not to forget the swim in ole Georges Delaware crossing path. Final note; do not scrap the A/C on teh Chevelle. You may not want it but someday someone will. Just work around it a little. You do that in Arizona its call molestation. Bypass the heater and live with the inconvenience of the thing in the way. Thanks for taking me along for the ride and the good times. Give Jen a big momma hug . Bless you , and her and your daughter. Peace
Your drone shots are a great addition to your videos. Whether city scapes or river scenes, I enjoy them all!
You have no idea how happy I was when I saw this in my feed. Thanks for the great content. And the great timing
I have NOT seen an exhaust swing down so nice!
Its fun hanging out here with you Chris. Regular guy stuff getting projects done and having fun! Don't apologize!
Chris just doesn't F around. I watch VGG, Stay Tuned, Puddin, JYD, PBG and NNKH and every time I see Chris' stuff it's like watching a surgeon conduct his craft. He's a throwback that's for sure.
Ever watch DD Speed Shop or Mortske Repair, pretty good channels also.
@@NoWr2Run Yea I like DD and Mortske as well. All good channels.
Love when you guys drop a video makes my day so much better...congratulations you guys are the best
Wouldn't be able to do it without you! Thanks very much for tuning in and supporting
This Chevelle would be so easy to clean up. And I love the look of the round exhaust pipes coming out the back. Please keep them.
We need more content creator's like you, i enjoy everyone of the videos
if theres one thing i love about your channel, which makes you my favorite one even, is that you dont sugarcoat the superiority of manual transmissions that all cars should have
Scrapping for me wasn't too bad. Many others in my area. I was blessed many times, right place right time. Thanks for a fun video.
!
Hi from the UK, I'm an Engineer and love watching your videos. Fixing machines/Engines plays right into my wheel house. The Great Willy Nelson at the end was the cherry on top.
Helping people, it's beautiful and an awesome feeling. I love this videos!!
Thank you for helping them
Dalton would be proud of the way you fixed the floor.
WOW!!! WHAT A VIDEO... FIXER UPPER DAY,,.. GREAT TO SEE THE CHEVELLE ,.. LIKE TO SEE THE DOG CHOW FOOD, WONDERFUL.. HI TO JEN,, TAKE CARE W/ THE BABY ,, PEACE CHRIS...
my mom had a red Chevelle like this before i was born. i sent her this video so she can reminisce! love the exhaust sound
I slightly miss scrapping with my Dad. I don't miss how hard it can be on your body. Still, flinging rotors out the back of the truck I always enjoyed for some reason lol. I more miss the odd jobs we'd do and folks at the flea market that aren't with us anymore. Good times and crazy adventures I'll never forget. Hoping my Dads cataract surgeries go well and we can do some of that again.
i go to that scrap yard and they are the best. great guys who make sure im getting as much money as i can. i also found out about them not taking CATs without the title for the vehicle they came off of and i was very happy because if scrapyards wont take CATs without the title, itll hopefully lead to less CAT thefts
Good going on the vapor barrier, and putting some 2x6 blocks vertically under the frame will help keep the springs from sagging during long term storage , just enough to take some load off not tires off the ground.👍
Hi Chris thanks for another great video, I hope Jen is feeling well, I look forward to your videos, they are informative as well as entertaining ,thank you so much sir.
In my hot tub, having a beer, and a new NNKH video pops…….life is good!
Bro can I join? No homo
i know you said your not doing a restoration, but i was suprised you used licence plates. I hope ya do put a better than that thicker larger area fix in the future. Love the chevelle vids. . Cant wait for # 4
Man, I remember doing scrap runs when I worked for a Nissan dealer. The '11 Titan Pro-4x weighed 5800lbs emtpy. Rolled up a few times weighing 9,000lbs+. Love it.
Love that chevelle, doesn't have to be perfect to be a badass old car. You're a solid dude for trying to help the guy with the bad fuel pump!
I forgot to say that I love helping people. It always comes back!
Thank you for simplifying things that I now have the knowledge to not let auto problems worry me as much as they have before binge watching your channel.
HEY! Hello Chris and Jen , everybody loves the Chevelle !!
Hey man! Appreciate you dropping in.
Same here man! It's my absolute favorite car on the NNKH UA-cam channel believe it or not!
Hey is that a real SS 1971. OR A. CLONE EITH A MONTE CARLO DASH AND A VEGA GT WHEEEL???
He said it wasn't a true ss @@user-ht1xu4gv2u
Don't sell the rollback!!! Such a unique truck. But I would understand if you had to. And any ad with Gus in it, there's no way I'm skipping it 😂 . So funny and well done. Unlike the other ads on UA-cam. Keep up the great work, Chris!
Wow, you're right near my work.I work behind there to scrap yard at Clayton's concrete.The one video you could see are silos in the background to the left
Love the Pole Barn repair, more tech screws
Love that sound, nice job. I once repaired a gas tank leak with a wad of chewed bubble gum and it never failed!❤
This video was a fun mix of content. Loved the sound of the Chevelle, found the scrap portion interesting, admired you for trying to help the guy who was broken down, and enjoyed the air boat drone shots. Cool video. 😀
Another fun video Chris, and I still love that Chevelle! The old airboat is running good and looked like alot of fun out there. See you on the next video, take care until then. 👍
I congratulate you!
The release turned out be very
interesting! Everything as they
say in everyday life!
A little work,a little rest,that's how our good life goes!
Thank you! All the best👍
Hello from🇺🇦✌
Thanks for putting a link to my channel. It was a blast whipping around in that Chevelle.
Happy you kept the Chevelle and continue to work on it 👍
Great video, always liked the Chevelles. I can't imagine Gus with more energy, he's already like the "Ever ready Bunny"!...
Huge variety in this one Chris which makes them the best as always!, 👍🇮🇪
I love your scrappy style Chris!
Gus-man + better food = more energy? Careful what you ask for. LOL.
Same spring setup on my 70 SS Chevelle. Exhaust. Used the Pypes But no cross over and shorty headers for the ground clearance. Yes Pypes could do a little better on fitment for the A Bodies. Had to correct same issue with tail pipes to chassis clearance. Ditched the Pypes mufflers got tired of the droning. Even with full interior and deeding won't help. Went with Dynomax Super Turbos. What a difference. No performance loss that I can tell. %02 H.O. 3200 stall on shift kit 400 turbo auto. Gear Bender to 3.31 Tru-Trac. Good performance and street able.
My dad was a welder in the early 90’s and I remember him rocking those exact red, white, and blue safety glasses!
I remember wearing them…
Burnout on the garage floor you were so picking about, love it!!
Wish we had some nice weather like that in the UK, been a lousy summer so far, cool, wet and windy nearly every day...anyway great vid, love that Chevelle
Out of a lot of the ones you have bought and sold and worked on, I like this car! Bring it down to Kentucky 😀
Love when you do a little bit of everything vids !! Love Rat rods too
I miss those 360s brings me back to those times when as a lad i would be spinning and tearing up the ground.bringing back memories.peace....
I think the numberplates are a perfect restoration! I miss my old volvo sometimes that I could fix with selftappers. My car today is too nice for selftappers, but it has no soul! 😂 (But never breaks down)😂
Good video. I find the recycling/scrap info. very interesting. (I did take a recliner apart once to recycle the metal.) Thanks.
I love CHEVELLES .I have a 1972!!
It does sound good though! ,@16mins or so!!😎
PS yeah, I chuckled too whenever you dropped those pipes 😅😂
Great video Chris.. thx
Thanks for posting Chris
Thanks for tuning in
Another great video. Thanks for showing the scrap yard, never been to one and was curious how things worked/ what scrap to keep
I have the violators on my 10.5:1 408 stroker and I love them
I've used peel and stick tar paper to cover holes and license plates.
"Let em be-e".. I see what ya did there. :D
scrapper for life, i'm with you brother!! my dad took me scrapping as a boy, 60 now and still stop for good junk on the roadside.. you guys rock!!
Enjoy your vlogs! Chevelle is cool and good call on full exhaust and floor. The 11k for the rollback is a reasonable price.
GM ...A..body cruising in the summer can't go wrong...thanks..🔧🔧👍
Hydraulic hose repair looks tidy You might consider to add a hose carrier this might help guide and manage the hoses 👍 Best of luck with the house hunting
another quality video, thanks for the entertainment.
superb production in this video, you really do put them together with style, love the content, thank you.
I swear by that pb blaster surface shield. I buy it in the 5 gallon pail and do all my vehicles. Great product 👌
You are doing a great job with the Chevelle the car sounds great it takes me back to my younger years when i saw friend's dad start his 70 ss 396 375 hp 4 speed Chevelle headers with flow masters so sweet and a friend from school his brother had a 63 Nova with a 327 and a tunnel ram and two 450 holley and a 12bolt rear and he was running a 2speed power glide that and my brother had a 78 z28 4 speed so i am glad to be able to witness the i saw growing up 😀
House carpet padding is a good source for cheap insulation. Covering the floor above the exhaust makes a great difference.
Great video Chris, I hope Jenn well. Your dog food commercial is hilarious 😂😂.
At 15:50 that sounded just like vanishing point . Love the sound of pure muscle V8
Ready to help the ones in need and watch nnkh hell yeah
Nice to see you doing your bit with the recycling! Wish more would do it globally.
OMG right by Pete's welding? I work there for 20 years. Fabricating and making drive shafts. I know I know the brothers were not the nicest guys but man they were smart. I learned so much.
Gosh sakes, I had completely forgotten about that hot rod. Love a big block Chevelle. Rallye wheels are perfect...shine juice did a great job...that is a keeper. Last observation, cars don't rust in S.E. Arizona. Also, with just a bit of work that would be a great Power Tour rig.
Great video criss!! Like always, you should raptor liner your utility box red will look great !! 👍🏾
This is one of the things I really like about your Videos is that you jump around and that's very cool Awesome stuff Chris Keep it up
You are a saint, a hard worker, and great with flattening the guys gas tank😂 Love ya man! You are the best😊
Love the random journeys and escapades lol. Keep it up Chris
Chris, I always enjoy your videos. Lots of variety. I also love the Chevelle. It definitely needs a 5 or 6 speed manual. Can't wait to see you do that conversion. Thanks for the content!!!
Great video, she sounds Amazing. Thank you for posting 😀
It's great to see you giving her some love. If you stubble on another in the future, i hope it's a couple of years older!
I’m right around the corner from the scrap yard here in Hamilton. Good to see you helping out the scrappers! I had some scrappers take a bunch of metal from my place when I moved.
Yes ! NNNK best day ever !
You are killing me with those boomer glasses! 😂
Next stop is the Vegas strip for some gambling and Marlboro 100's!
I saw you on an old episode of Pole Barn Garage I was like hey I watch that guys channel lol
There’s nothing better than free money, I love doing the occasional scrap run but I’m hanging onto my copper because the world is needing more and more every year. I consider it money in the bank. Cheers
Lol, that is the way Dalton repairs his floors on Pole Barn Garage. Lol. Love his show too. ❤❤
enjoyed watching you work on the chevelle. god bless😀
Interesting MIX of topics !
