My dad had several of those Lancers in the 60s and 70s..They had Valients and Lancers in the early 60s and he had both. I remember the trunk lid having a circle on it resembling a spare tire that wasn't a spare tire
I've always liked those early Lancers and Valiant's. My Papaw had a 62 valiant when I was a boy it was the first car I ever saw with push button drive. Ive always liked the looks of the Lancer, I like the round taillights and absence of that fake spare tire on the trunk lid like the valiant had.👍
The early A-bodies are fantastic cars, the 61 is a small step up though, nicer tail lights, nicer dash, floor shifter and much nicer grille (even though @heavensmopars made a fantastic job to restore this one)
@@rustandmagic They are great. Not only for their unique styling in these years but also for the foundation they set for all the A body cars that came later. 👍
lol. I liked the blind commentary they were providing. And I missed the shot of you literally running away from it. 😂. Thanks for the long trek to get it here!
Very cool Dodge, I do sheetmetal fabrication so that's what I tackle on my Mopars. Enjoy seeing you guys work on this car and everyone's contribution but please ditch the FORD emblem, it should have stayed with the FORD guys.
Absolutely remember those cars on the road when nearly new. I always thought they were uniquely ugly! But now i see it as a weird a quirky design. Fix her up! 😊
@@beljames1563 I don’t know if I’ll have time. I will be loading it up tomorrow and bringing it to 38POS. I haven’t even opened the hood yet. Plan is to look into it together at his garage.
Excellent video man. It was a pleasure getting to meet ya. Hope for many more in the future.😎 Glad you got home safe and the trip went well for ya too. Good to see you were able to Dukes of Hazzard that car as well. 🤣 I will get my last 2 vids of Stone Soup posted this week hopefully. 😁🤘
@@wittysgarage lol. My very non graceful but successful nonetheless attempt at entering the car. I thought the car was going to tip over on its side when I got in. Note: add shocks to the list. 😂
@@allenpp6748 we are all doing small tasks on the car as it moves from each UA-cam channels shop. From Washington state to Ohio. You’ll have to follow the build to see what happens 😊 #stonesoup

Well It was "locked up" and hadn't run at all for decades so getting it to run enough to drive at all is a win. Keep watching and we'll see what we can do to get it dialed in. 👍
That's just awesome, JYD! I'm so stoked! Can't wait to see where it goes (well... I mean metaphorically, of course). SUPER stoked!
👍 I’m excited to see its progression as well. 😊

@@carl5536 yes. I believe the spare tire on the deck lid was the Plymouth valiant model. Thanks for watching. Follow the build. #stonesoup.
That ol' car woulda run just fine if you had taken the ford badge off the grill..😅
@@grandudetonesnob7107 I can’t disagree with you. 😊

They are definitely a unique vehicle. This one is 3 on 🌳. The styling grows on a guy. 😊

I didn't even watch this yet i just like that you put stone soup! I remember that story from childhood
@@arizonacutlery547 it is a great story and very fitting for this project. 👍
I guess my question is with many mechanics already working on it, why does it still run so shitty??
Have to wait and see what we find. 3 months ago it was locked up and sitting in a field. Patience grasshopper!
This project proves it takes 10 mopar guys to change a condenser.
@@apocolypse11 It’s actually 18 but they’re not all Mopar guys. 😎
😂😂😂
Looks like you are going to have some fun with it
@@NathansMoparGarage yes sir! 😊
I used to see those Lancers and Valients like that all the time in the 1960’s but not so much in the last 30-35 years or so.
Let the good times roll!
But eventually they need to stop also! 🤔👊🏻
If you’re referring to the brakes, they’re a coming soon! 👍
Glad it made it safely to you! I was laughing pretty hard when Vic was yelling "We are in the bed of the truck!" XD
lol. I liked the blind commentary they were providing. And I missed the shot of you literally running away from it. 😂. Thanks for the long trek to get it here!
Sorry. Was thinking of Witty. 🤦 It was fun to have them there while we were doing the swap even if they were in the truck box. 😂

@@dh2360Thanks for watching…and yes that four letter F word doesn’t belong on the front of this car. 😊
@@junkyard_D Well according to the Chevy guys, that stands for "F**kin' Old Rebuilt Dodge" and if true, then it fits the theme well, no?
@@mattfarahsmillionmilelexus If you look at it that way it is quite fitting. 😂

@@johnfranklin5277 we are doing our best to save this one. 😊
Well it does run.
@@mexicanspec yes it does “run”. We will be looking at that soon.
Runs rough, no brakes, no floors, sounds like my cars!
I feel ya. How do you think I got my name! 😊
Are you going to be the one who fixes the dead cylinder, or does that happen downstream from you? I wince everything someone loads it.

@junkyard_D why ya gonna put an elephant motor in it lol
@@Roosters_Restos 😂 That has been discussed!
Awesome! I'm following Stone Soup :) 0:52
@@rudybriskar5267 Thank you. It should be a fun ride! Please share 👍
Off screen commentary!! Well, the starter seems really good! Lol
@@Raycr lol. Like constellations. 😊
Akin to the Signet.
👍

Hey Skip 😁. Hope all is well 👍
@@junkyard_D Ya man doing good!
But it did sound good for like 3 seconds!! 🤣
Course it was hammered to the non existent floor and riding the clutch like a surfboard 😂.
@@junkyard_D 🤣🤣
Doesn't really seem like Jayme did much to make that thing run sny sny better 🤷

@@rafaelallenblock yeah but that wouldn’t of been half the fun.
@@junkyard_D LOL
@@junkyard_D Woulda been quicker. You made hard work of putting it on the trailer.
Why didn't ya back up to the front of it?
@@colinl9018 that would have been easier. 👍
OH yeah, you'd never make it in Hazzard county
@@Raycr I know. Uncle Jesse did it better! 😂
You pick up cars and you don’t have a little air compressor? C’mon man
