Man, it's so nice to see you just let him DO it. Guide him when he needs it, give him tips, but letting HIM do it is invaluable. If it's screwed up, you're there to help set him up again. It seems to be a rarity these days, it's nice to see it. It'll be an awesome car to thrash around in 5 years.
It is so nice to see father & son working on a project, together but when the son does the work it is better, he gains knowledge, learns how to work on automobile
It's nice to see a father teach his son the tricks of the trade. You are right on the money when it comes to things don't have to be perfect. You're a good teacher. J.d. should be proud of himself. He also is going to have one nice ride
I could never get my boys to stay in the shop as long as they had an X-box (courtesy of my ex wife). I think it’s wonderful that you’re teaching your son everything you know. He’ll always remember the work he did with you. Keep up the good work Dad.
Aside from giving your son a valuable skill set I love that you are teaching him to make do with what you have. I grew up very poor. I got all my parts from the junkyard and furnished my first apartment from a flea market and Goodwill.
Great video Dalton, JD did a great job wrangling the paint gun, air hose and manuvering around the old engine compartment. as he grows older, hell relish these days you spend with him honing the automotive skills, and be building the coolest hod rod cars. .
Love that blue!! My Dad was a really good man. Miss him a lot. But I always wished he would had took the time to show me how to. Do stuff like that. I got to watch. But sadly every thing I learnt. Painting, working on cars, mower's. I learnt my self. Awesome job you guys!!!
Father / son projects are a great way to teach your children different skill sets You are doing a great job with your son and he did an awesome job with what he painted
I love to see how you teach your son to work on cars, and in general he can apply these skills on anything he does it is just priceless! I can't wait for the time to start showing my son to work on cars and get his hands dirty but he is only five, right now he is more likely to get hurt rather than learning, but one day, congratulations to both of you!
JD is doing great work! The only way to learn is to just go ahead and do it, you'll learn by your mistakes. Hey Dalton I've ruined a couple of guns cleaning them with the wrong stuff more than once 😂👍☮️
I'm back as a contributor JD, I took a month off due to my now fixed income money is tight, but while I have some spare coin, I want you to have it. Dal'un you know I just love this '59 Ford, I've said so before somewhere in the comments of this series, as I was about JD's age when my family owned a 1959 two door Galaxie 500 . My pop was an auto refinisher, so we had a spiffy, uber dark green with gold metal flake paint job courtesy of my pop's employer. The body shop not in use during the weekend was available for side jobs. This allowed my dad with my older brother's assistance on prep work to repaint the beast that had a light green coat originally. That pekid (peak-ed) pale green was way too bland. The dark green, my dad's custom blend, was sublime. At night it looked black as a moonless night sky with a cosmic shimmer from the added gold flake which could be illuminated by street lamps of the period. During the day a hint of green was seen in the bright sunlight that of course lit up the gold flake. It was a stunner. We eventually sold the Galaxie around the end of the decade ('60s) Which was replaced by a 1969 Ford 3/4 ton Custom Camper Special (non two-tone, all green color of that era of Ford pickups, white bumper up front, aluminum grill, or at least appeared to be as much) the pickup was a hauler for our 'over the cab' and ten feet from the back of the cab extending two feet beyond the tail gate which was removed to haul this massive 'Tear Drop' 1970 model year camper. My oh my, the memories of great times. Every weekend when my parents had a little extra money for gas in the dual tanks, our rig was loaded up with good food for two nights and fun days tramping mostly around Califonia's mountains. Even if it was just an oft' visited by us nearby State Park, Mt Diablo found in Contra Costa county. Thanks guys for this sentimental journey.👍 Merry Christmas and have a great New Year.
GOOD CHOICE FOR FIRST CAR . I ALSO HAD A 59 FORD TUDOR , SAME COLOR TOO . YOUNG MAN , YOU ARE LUCKY TO HAVE A DAD WHO MARCHES TO THE BEAT OF HIS OWN DRUMMER .
great teamwork and learning by doing you achieve awesome things together. there maybe many opinions about the end result but it covered the rust and from a distance it looks good - I look forward to the next episode
JD is light-years ahead of his peers. Heck, I'm in my mid-40's and still don't have a anything I could classify as a "Hot Rod". Excellent father, son bonding.
Luv how you describe the manufacturing of the 50s. Only the auto industry manufacturing hasn’t changed. Only differences one assembler is hungover the other is stoned.
They sell little yellow things at Home Depot that clip on the rim of a gallon paint bucket that controls the pour. I believe I paid like $1 or so for it. But they work great.
Great to see a boy and his dad so invested in things together, miss the days i'd play golf with my dad or the various other things we'd do together. Now he's old and has dimentia, it's hard to even get a response let alone have a connection like the "old days"
Kid's got the touch already. I worked in a body shop supply distributor, and when I had to go to paint class, the painters ribbed me for being a greenhorn. They didnt know I had experience with spray cans. A Sata gun wasn't too much different. Did pretty well, surprised them.
I teared up watching this my dad taught me how to paint and do body work when I was his age I built my first truck myself in my grandparents drive way my dad and I weren't the best of friends but I think about him every time I mix body filler
Its great to see youngins get involved, he did a great job. Dunno if it'll help, but for the leaking tin, hit it with koolseal like they do mobile homes. Worked on our old barn for years.
Oh hell yeah get me all excited new episode it's great to see you and your son out there working on his car he's going to have many many good memories and stories to tell just from this car on especially if he ends up keeping it for a long time or for rest of his life you never know. You guys keep kicking ass and taking names cuz your channel is doing amazing what you do is amazing it's entertainment may I know you're screwing around and a lot of it that take so much of the social seriousness out of it and make it more fun than just watching somebody runs on a car with a monotone and have absolutely no emotions while they're working on it.
@@PoleBarnGarage yes sir it sure does. You are a kick ass father for doing that stuff with your son you guys going to make memories and they're going to be great memories as that. Also working on cars it just pays off and a lot of other things you do you learn patience and how to work with what you got things of that nature you know what I mean. Again thank you for the work you put in your videos I truly enjoy them put a smile on my face and laughed her in my belly thank you.
Great job JD watching You and your dad working together gives Me hope in the future of families with values. You are learning a great trade and love for all classic cars.
I remember working on cars and trucks with my dad. He taught me how to weld and paint and do bodywork and mechanics. Kinda wish I could go back and do it all again.
Good job buddy you and your son car you help and show him the way that all ways good to see the son and farther working together. Be good buddy. Love the GTO. Lol.
Friendly suggestion. Since everyone is doing revival videos. I think that at the end of your videos you should do a preventative maintenance ending. Show of how too prevent thing from turning in a Pooh box. Such as fuel stabilizer, empting fuel from carbs, or ever how too prevent flat spots in tire that sit for too long. You could get sponcer like Stay bil, or Seafoam. Keep the Keep the Tach in the Black!!!
I have heard of guys who got board and would put a wisky bottle with screws and wire it in the door with a coat hanger quick tip you can use butcher AKA freezer paper to paint with and if you have glossy news paper and put it on first and then use the none glossy paper and if you want to put flames or other details painted on you can make it seem less by putting a ton of clear coat on and then you sand it down until you can't feel the difference between the two paint colors
That thing is going to POP with that colour combination, mate. Your young fella catches on quick too....and you chucked him in the deep end with the engine bay as the first area to prep and paint! Everything else will be a piece of the proverbial by comparison. The best thing is that you're teaching him not to be scared of the tools and that nothing is too hard if you just have a go and that practise improves the techniques. My girls are 17 and 20 and they can do things on their cars that their male friends have no idea about.....and that scares me. A young bloke who took my eldest out got a flat tyre and called Roadside Service to get it changed. My daughter just looked at him silently for 10 seconds, then got out the car and showed him how to put the spare on. He rang and cancelled the callout and sat red-faced as she regaled me with the tale when he dropped her off. I really felt sorry for the lad, but they are in the generation where "if you have a problem, you call someone to fix it". A little practical knowledge goes a long way and saves much embarrassment. You and I both are looking at the more practical side though too - if you can fix it (or fix it up) yourself, you don't have to pay someone else to.....and then there's that feel-good angle when you look at the result and it looks good enough overall or works well enough that it's no longer an issue and you just smile and think "Yeah - I did that". First time my youngest changed a set of plugs in her 1977 Mini and then set its timing and adjusted the mixture on the carb and got the little car to sing, she had a glow about her face that I know very well. Your son had a similar one when he looked at the painted engine bay.....so I reckon he's hooked and in for the long haul. Great to see. Like me, you know how to be patient and can guide him through without taking over and doing it yourself. That's the key, mate. Sometimes it is bloody hard not to intervene or take over when you see it go wrong, but they have to be allowed to do it and have the potential to fail....and then just watch as they correct themselves where and how they made the mistake and learn from it and keep going. A quick talk at the beginning about what we want to achieve and how, maybe a quick demo, but then let them go at it and coach them along - just what you were doing. Had a thought - have you tried getting the 390 to cough into life? She might just be low on compression due to having sat a while and the valves and / or rings are stuck. Might be good for a "will it run" some time in any case maybe? Anyway - all the best and we'll look forward to seeing yours and his next blast at the beast in a couple of weeks.
Thanks man! You're correct, you have to allow kids to make mistakes. That old 360/390 has a hole in the pan from a forklift, and the truck it was in had 57 spark plugs on the dash. Normally I'd try it anyways, but this is going to be a better solution long term for him
@@PoleBarnGarage - Yep, I don't think I'd have held out much hope for something that - even with a hole in the sump - could be literally spun over by an 11 year old who was not even really in the best position to try to get her to turn!. I think my optimism for what rings may remain on the pistons, could be considered more along the lines of wishful thinking! You say there were 57 spark plugs on the dash? I wonder if that was just for one particular cylinder and they bought a new plug every time they filled up with gas.....? I had a car like that once - I used to pull into the gas station once a week to fill it up with oil and check the petrol. She went through four litres (4.2 quarts) of oil every 500 miles. I reckon the poor old plugs in that thing must have been firing something akin to a fairly heavy 2-stroke mix!
Please do videos with your Holey Goat , I believe that car could be your catalyst , You got something there!! When VGG did INDEPENDENCE , I knew that would launch his channel . I got a feeling about the Holey Goat. You Have the “ It” factor like Derek of VGG ..
I never had the chance to have my dad help me work on my truck I've always helped him work on his race cars though. I would like to see a mustang motor 3 valve 6 speed in that or a coyote engine. My mom got me 1956 GMC truck for my 15 birthday present that I still have. It look like that not no more. I will do anything for my mom. Thank you 💓 Keep on helping him good job 👍🏽 This is what I was telling my kid's. I hope them on all their cars so they need to have their kids and help them don't let them be on the street.
I appreciate it. As for a coyote or some fancy late model engine, not gonna happen lol. JD is more about originality than I am, and I approve! Keep old things old
Paintucation by Kevin Tetz will show you how to pour paint from a gallon can without spilling a drop. Wish I had seen that video 40 years ago when I painted 46 resident rooms at a nursing home.
I worked in an auto body supply store when mixing sample paint we used an old gravy ladle to dip into a full gallon to avoid spilling l. Much less waste and spilling and just drop the ladle into your clean up thinner.
I envy you father/son teams working on cars. My father didn't know squat about cars and didn't care to spend time with his kids. My brother and I learned about cars hanging with our friends who did have fathers who wanted to spend time with them and their friends. My BIL worked at a GM plant and he said lunch buckets were checked on the way out for stolen parts, but not on the way in. It was not unusual to see a car go down the line with a partial bottle of booze on the floor at quitting time. They didn't want to get caught with it on the way past security.

This was a great video Father and Son working together.
I promise your son will always remember working on this car with you. I appreciate you taking the time with your son. We need more of this.
I'll teach him to the best of my ability, which is admittedly poor
It is so nice to see father & son working on a project, together but when the son does the work it is better, he gains knowledge, learns how to work on automobile
Yes indeed my friend
what you do is a better education for your son than any school now days will give him..keep it up..and thank you for the entertainment!
It's nice to see a father teach his son the tricks of the trade. You are right on the money when it comes to things don't have to be perfect. You're a good teacher. J.d. should be proud of himself. He also is going to have one nice ride
Seams like young Apprentice interested in the job. Good to see. Great car to have for a young guy. Great project for him. Good luck to you both.
Way to go JD doing a great job. Listen your pop he's showing you things most kids don't learn anymore.
Way to go dad. He will never forget this. Good on you.
Love the fact that your son wants to do this type of stuff...
being a great example for your son ....very inspirational
I could never get my boys to stay in the shop as long as they had an X-box (courtesy of my ex wife). I think it’s wonderful that you’re teaching your son everything you know. He’ll always remember the work he did with you. Keep up the good work Dad.
Well, he and I both play plenty of video games also. Just lucky that he understands the necessity of doing REAL LIFE things
You just taught me more about air gun painting than I ever knew before
It's so easy even I can do it
Aside from giving your son a valuable skill set I love that you are teaching him to make do with what you have. I grew up very poor. I got all my parts from the junkyard and furnished my first apartment from a flea market and Goodwill.
Grew up similar. You never forget those skills
It's awesome seeing JD jumping right in there and working on his car. Too many kid nowadays aren't doing hands on manual skills.
Absolutely awesome! Never too young to learn how to do it wrong...I mean right...lol. Keep up the great work!
Never to young to learn to do it. In general lol
Started on the 390 engine video and decided to start from the beginning. Love seeing you got your son involved. Lifetime memories my man!
Great video Dalton, JD did a great job wrangling the paint gun, air hose and manuvering around the old engine compartment. as he grows older, hell relish these days you spend with him honing the automotive skills, and be building the coolest hod rod cars. .
I hope so. I know I appreciated my dad's teaching
So do I, Just wish he was still around, im not done learning
Same with me, when Dad passed 7 years ago. 70 years of knowledge gone ,at least I got some of it.
He will 100%, memories this great last forever!!!
Love seeing dads showing their kids how to do stuff like this.
Good job.
Father and son, having fun. Congrats to you for showing the young generation what a little knowledge and elbow grease can do. Great job JD.
Love that blue!! My Dad was a really good man. Miss him a lot. But I always wished he would had took the time to show me how to. Do stuff like that. I got to watch. But sadly every thing I learnt. Painting, working on cars, mower's. I learnt my self. Awesome job you guys!!!
JD is doing a good job.....These are times he will remember for rest of his life!!!!! Way to go on the dad time!!!!!! :)
I hope he can pass it on as well
Painting cars may be a better side hustle for the son than mowing yards, just saying.
Father / son projects are a great way to teach your children different skill sets
You are doing a great job with your son and he did an awesome job with what he painted
The most quality time I've seen on the internet... makes me miss my Dad. He showed us and let us do everything. He is forever in my thoughts. :)
I love to see how you teach your son to work on cars, and in general he can apply these skills on anything he does it is just priceless! I can't wait for the time to start showing my son to work on cars and get his hands dirty but he is only five, right now he is more likely to get hurt rather than learning, but one day, congratulations to both of you!
Spending time with DAD in the shop.... Too cool, building your car in the shop with DAD....priceless! Memories being made for a lifetime.
It’s awesome seeing you teach your son. My son now is 28 and we still work on cars together.
I'm 28 and help dad when he needs it
JD did an awesome job painting.
JD's becoming a regular Earl Scheib Jr.
39.95 he'll paint any car, 3995.95 adjusted for inflation
Alright Alright Alright!!
I remember working on cars with my father , memories that I will have forever.
Hello from Siesta Key Florida
so glad to see the little man taking an interest in cars.he will always remember these times with you.
JD is doing great work! The only way to learn is to just go ahead and do it, you'll learn by your mistakes. Hey Dalton I've ruined a couple of guns cleaning them with the wrong stuff more than once 😂👍☮️
Looking good. Nice tag team work. 😎👍
You can here the proud dad in your voice !! It’s cool because it reminds me of working with my kids. We are all proud dads
Good job dad,great job son.
Thanks!
Creating great memory's, some of my fondest memory's from i was a kid are working in my dads workshop with him,
I'm back as a contributor JD, I took a month off due to my now fixed income money is tight, but while I have some spare coin, I want you to have it.
Dal'un you know I just love this '59 Ford, I've said so before somewhere in the comments of this series, as I was about JD's age when my family owned a 1959 two door Galaxie 500 .
My pop was an auto refinisher, so we had a spiffy, uber dark green with gold metal flake paint job courtesy of my pop's employer. The body shop not in use during the weekend was available for side jobs.
This allowed my dad with my older brother's assistance on prep work to repaint the beast that had a light green coat originally. That pekid (peak-ed) pale green was way too bland. The dark green, my dad's custom blend, was sublime. At night it looked black as a moonless night sky with a cosmic shimmer from the added gold flake which could be illuminated by street lamps of the period. During the day a hint of green was seen in the bright sunlight that of course lit up the gold flake. It was a stunner.
We eventually sold the Galaxie around the end of the decade ('60s) Which was replaced by a 1969 Ford 3/4 ton Custom Camper Special (non two-tone, all green color of that era of Ford pickups, white bumper up front, aluminum grill, or at least appeared to be as much) the pickup was a hauler for our 'over the cab' and ten feet from the back of the cab extending two feet beyond the tail gate which was removed to haul this massive 'Tear Drop' 1970 model year camper.
My oh my, the memories of great times. Every weekend when my parents had a little extra money for gas in the dual tanks, our rig was loaded up with good food for two nights and fun days tramping mostly around Califonia's mountains. Even if it was just an oft' visited by us nearby State Park, Mt Diablo found in Contra Costa county.
Thanks guys for this sentimental journey.👍
Merry Christmas and have a great New Year.
Merry Christmas buddy!
Awesome ,Love seeing dads showing their kids how to do stuff like this.
Good job.
JD is one smart kid. Picked it up quick with little instruction. You’re not a bad teacher btw. Always love your videos.
Put a 4 inch piece of tape around the top with half sticking up makes pouring paint easy
GOOD CHOICE FOR FIRST CAR . I ALSO HAD A 59 FORD TUDOR , SAME COLOR TOO . YOUNG MAN , YOU ARE LUCKY TO HAVE A DAD WHO MARCHES TO THE BEAT OF HIS OWN DRUMMER .
He'll be safe as houses in that road tank
Awesome, love letting the kids get their hands right in it.
great teamwork and learning by doing you achieve awesome things together. there maybe many opinions about the end result but it covered the rust and from a distance it looks good - I look forward to the next episode
Back in the day used to do a lot of projects with my son. Had good times and created a lot of great memories!
Heck yea. Thanks for the new video! I'm a fan of the colors.
You are teaching him good and he is doing a great job. 👍
"pretty good" the best compliment a man can hear
JD is light-years ahead of his peers. Heck, I'm in my mid-40's and still don't have a anything I could classify as a "Hot Rod". Excellent father, son bonding.
I'll wager that the dad will have his butt under the steering wheel soon.
Really cool video man, it’s really cool that you’re teaching your son how to actually work on cars and he’s building his own too.
Luv how you describe the manufacturing of the 50s. Only the auto industry manufacturing hasn’t changed. Only differences one assembler is hungover the other is stoned.

Oooooo! This is gonna be fun!
It's going to be a cool Hotrod when it's all done.
Lil dude don't know how lucky he is. Damn I miss unc. He was my my go to,he has been gone 15yrs now.
Make a little hole in the rim of the paint tin, makes it easier to control the pour, the engine bay looks great.
Won't it dry up?
@@PoleBarnGarage no the lid sill seals fine.
Great to see a boy and his dad so invested in things together, miss the days i'd play golf with my dad or the various other things we'd do together. Now he's old and has dimentia, it's hard to even get a response let alone have a connection like the "old days"
Thanks for your comment. I feel ya...
Yep!! Yes!!! Yep !!!, I loved your “ Holey Goat” 23 compilation video!!
That looks like a super solid car
It's not bad
that engine bay looks pretty good even in person!
Great job JD!!
Congrats to JD on doing this with you. Plus Congratulations, just saw a spread of Holey Goat on Yahoo.
Oh really?
@@PoleBarnGarage Yup, talked up how you did it somewhat. Plus a link to you YT Channel. Congrats , you be big time now!

Boy! It must be nice to have a Mini You to work in all the tight places!
Its great to see youngins get involved, he did a great job.
Dunno if it'll help, but for the leaking tin, hit it with koolseal like they do mobile homes. Worked on our old barn for years.
I did that years ago, maybe time for another treatment
JD has become a great car guy. Congrats to you both!
JD did great! The look he gave you when you said “let’s just put this in the paint mixer” had ever Dad that noticed thinking, yep been there. Lol
Oh hell yeah get me all excited new episode it's great to see you and your son out there working on his car he's going to have many many good memories and stories to tell just from this car on especially if he ends up keeping it for a long time or for rest of his life you never know. You guys keep kicking ass and taking names cuz your channel is doing amazing what you do is amazing it's entertainment may I know you're screwing around and a lot of it that take so much of the social seriousness out of it and make it more fun than just watching somebody runs on a car with a monotone and have absolutely no emotions while they're working on it.

JR is going to have the "Best Car" in his High School Parking Lot!
If it was the "early 1990's" the would be Spinning and Bumping MAJOR BASS!

I remember working on cars and trucks with my dad. He taught me how to weld and paint and do bodywork and mechanics. Kinda wish I could go back and do it all again.
Great job guys, great teaching and great learning! Maybe pick up one of those plastic lids for paint cans with the pourer on it.

@@PoleBarnGarage - Yep, I don't think I'd have held out much hope for something that - even with a hole in the sump - could be literally spun over by an 11 year old who was not even really in the best position to try to get her to turn!. I think my optimism for what rings may remain on the pistons, could be considered more along the lines of wishful thinking! You say there were 57 spark plugs on the dash? I wonder if that was just for one particular cylinder and they bought a new plug every time they filled up with gas.....? I had a car like that once - I used to pull into the gas station once a week to fill it up with oil and check the petrol. She went through four litres (4.2 quarts) of oil every 500 miles. I reckon the poor old plugs in that thing must have been firing something akin to a fairly heavy 2-stroke mix!
Please do videos with your Holey Goat , I believe that car could be your catalyst , You got something there!! When VGG did INDEPENDENCE , I knew that would launch his channel . I got a feeling about the Holey Goat. You Have the “ It” factor like Derek of VGG ..
I will! But we gotta look to the future, just like Derek has
Cool, wish I could have been taught to paint cars that young! Looking forward to y'all getting that 352 in the engine compartment.
Great paint job JD, with ur dad helping afterwards it looks great. lv ur video.
I stumbled across your channel a few weeks ago, and I’m glad I did!!! Keep up the great job 👍
I love watching what you do….it reminds me of my childhood.😊
Wow !! reminded me of when I helped my dad !!
runs are factory you dont have to worry about them , no joke ,great job ,
G'day mate awesome..so cool father and son quality time love it boys all the best 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
I never had the chance to have my dad help me work on my truck I've always helped him work on his race cars though.
I would like to see a mustang motor 3 valve 6 speed in that or a coyote engine.
My mom got me 1956 GMC truck for my 15 birthday present that I still have.
It look like that not no more. I will do anything for my mom. Thank you 💓
Keep on helping him good job 👍🏽
This is what I was telling my kid's.
I hope them on all their cars so they need to have their kids and help them don't let them be on the street.
I appreciate it. As for a coyote or some fancy late model engine, not gonna happen lol. JD is more about originality than I am, and I approve! Keep old things old
I was just thinking to myself that he’s really teaching that kid how to use that gun,then I realized u were teaching me too
universal Dad guidance,,, handing JD an industrial wire wheel.. "Here Ya Go , have Fun!" hehehehe love it!!
😁
Paintucation by Kevin Tetz will show you how to pour paint from a gallon can without spilling a drop. Wish I had seen that video 40 years ago when I painted 46 resident rooms at a nursing home.
My parents drove to Pensacola on their honeymoon in a 58 Fairlane. That would be a good destination.
I worked in an auto body supply store when mixing sample paint we used an old gravy ladle to dip into a full gallon to avoid spilling l. Much less waste and spilling and just drop the ladle into your clean up thinner.
Yes this should have been obvious
@@PoleBarnGarage but entertaining nonetheless
Watching you and J.D. is the best👍
Very cool to see your son learning hands on.
I envy you father/son teams working on cars. My father didn't know squat about cars and didn't care to spend time with his kids. My brother and I learned about cars hanging with our friends who did have fathers who wanted to spend time with them and their friends. My BIL worked at a GM plant and he said lunch buckets were checked on the way out for stolen parts, but not on the way in. It was not unusual to see a car go down the line with a partial bottle of booze on the floor at quitting time. They didn't want to get caught with it on the way past security.
