    I am in love with these model years. Nothing runs so sweet as a Chevy 6. If I could, I would buy this car new. Sadly, nothing is made today with this much character. Thanks to both of you

      I know what you mean Steve. These 49-54 Chevys are fantastic cars. They are built like a tank, and the 6 has a great sound and so easy to work on.

I have always loved the old cars and I adore muscle cars. I grew up in the muscle car era in the 60's and 70's. Anyway, keep up the good work. It's nice that y'all work together so well. My first vehicle was a 1948 Willis Jeep truck. I got a 1954 Chevrolet with that great 6 cylinder after that and it ran like a sewing machine! I like the glossy look! Bye for now! God bless y'all!

    Will the taillight lenses of the "donor" car fit Lula? You guys have done an awesome job at bring this classic back to life and saving her. And it's not a "Rust" video if Richard doesn't either forget to hook up the battery or drop something. That's what makes your videos so much fun in that you don't edit out these small parts. Plus we get to see how much fun you have together. Watching you two reminds me of the time my late wife and I spent together getting an old '78 Allegro motor home ready for the road. I think things like that make you appreciate each other more.

      You are so right Richard. We love doing these cars together. Some couples like a night on the town, we like a night with the car. The lights on the 1950 are different, but I have some new lenses on the way!
