2 hour + Mortske episode, better than binge watching Hallmark!😀 Looking forward to this one, always like to see a Willis! Hope you do the pickup someday too!
I agree
Yeah, waiting for the pickup restart, etc.
Well there was some snow and some heart touching moments but it's no Hallmark series! The Willys pickup was just the guy who was storing the Jeepster for the last 21 years so we probably won't be seeing that one on the channel anytime soon! Thanks for watching and commenting Glenn!
@@MortskeRepair Anytime and thank you!
@@MortskeRepair I dunno about that, makes pretty good Christmastime viewing from where I'm sat & I should know, I watch a lot of lubetube... Also got another JEEP expansion for ya Mortske, Just Exchange Every Part (Jerry's Even Excited to Purchase maybe?)
Damn near three hours! Man, I don't sit through movies this long! Love the content. This man loves his family. That, above all else, I admire greatly.
It was just too much content to cut down any further! Thanks Dustin!
Not a knock either. I can watch all day long!
@@dustinhedin We appreciated it Dustin!
Pleasure to meet Mr Mortske. Tell pops that thousands (in the future millions)of people are glad you and Duff are on the UA-cam’s.
Thank you for leaving this one long and not overediting it. I have never seen anyone work on these, and it was nice to be able to see everything. I learned a ton about these in this video, and that's what I watch them for. Thanks again.
Glad to hear it!
Good to see you get her running, Morske you probably made your grandpa smile , the jeep is a legend
I sure hope so!
Cool to be able to hang out with your dad.
Mine passed from cancer over twenty years ago. I still have the old Dodge dart we worked on together.Enjoy your family and Merry Christmas from the west coast of Canadar
You as well Brianne!
Wow! Sounded healthier than my father in law's "built" 350! It sat for only eight years when I helped him get it fired up in his 62 Chevy. Awesome that you have great memories with your grandfather, and spending time with your dad getting the Jeepster running!
Love Duff. We like you to. Enjoy your video’s. You give detail that most don’t
Nothing else is better than a father and his son working on a project together, that's going to say with you forever, don't ever take it for granted.
Hey Mortske & Duff. That was an outstanding video. Really cool to see you and your dad work together. Lost my dad when I was 19. I am a 1955 vintage by the way. Guess that makes me 2 years older than your dad. That's quite a lineage you have when it comes to hotrods and mechanical stuff in general. I met a guy that owned a Conoco station near where I lived. I was around 13. His name was Donovan Crandall. He was an ace when it came to anything automotive and fabricating. I loved shadowing him. He taught me the trade hands on making mistakes as I learned. By age 14 I was rebuilding engines. My first rebuild was a Ford 272 Y-block. Hand cutting ring ridges and grinding valves and seats and knurling the guides. I even learned how to file down knurled pistons to fit. I've probably changed hundreds of points & condenser sets in my career. I still have the AC Delco dwell meter Don gave me in 1970. Merry Christmas to you and Duff. Thanks.
That's awesome! Love hearing about that stuff! Same to you Bob!
Morty...is a human? Who woulda thunk it? My favorite episode so far! Love love love the family ties! Makes these rigs special. You dont get many like this one...to work on. Restore it and take Dad for a ride...I would love to see that!
Don't go telling anyone now!
Never...its our secret! 🤣😂
Not bad at all, the mention of grandpa brought a tear to my eye I wish I could have spent more time with mine. The kindest loving person who would just smile at me and we did spend time together most summers growing up, taught me how to tie my shoes and shave that covers some years. You certainly have a great family my pops is gone so is mom and I just don't have the same interest in life that I once had, not so many years ago. Been through a grip of life changes I'm 8n my 60's, still got a bucket list and some foals I want to occomplish so haven't given up yet. Glad to find your tube man it's cool.
Glad you found us as well!
Cool to see this as a tribute to your Gramps! Thanks for bringing us into your personal life history Mort. It’s super cool and tugs on a guy’s heartstrings. Public service message: If you’ve still got your gramps, even if he’s imperfect or maybe you don’t always see eye to eye make time to spend with him because he won’t always be around!
Cool Jeep, cool story, love to see it! Mortske, I'm always here for your non-General Motors content. I'm a Jeep and Mopar oddball who enjoys oddball vehicles, so this is up my alley. It's pretty neat to see you discover new things along with us on those obscure makes.
Right on John!
You're amazing at fixing stuff that's older than me. It amazing you can still get replacement parts. Great job 👍
Thanks much George!
@@MortskeRepair ALOT OF THOSE PARTS ARE QUITE SIMILAR TO FULL SIZE JEEPS PLUS REPRO STUFF CAN BE BOUGHT ID DO THE INTERIOR AND THROW A CHEEP TOP ON
By the power of grayskull I lost my breath laughing at you getting shocked 😆
i’m going to be there tomorrow can’t wait to see it! i was pumped to see this video pop up didn’t think i would see one before races. Your Mom is fearless in that silver vette!
that thing is worth a trip to a good body shop for paint and interior. it's a collectible for sure. Sounds like your dad wants to restore it. You both seem to have a good sentimental reason to keep it in the family and return it to it's former glory.
If the paint is fair it is best to get it running, and clean it up. You would be surprised how well some true restorations can turn out. You don't restore something unless you have to.
So cool to finally meet your Dad! He is about my age. I had a 1947 CJ2A Jeep back in the early 1970's that I kind of restored, well, got running and drove around for a while. This video is quite interesting to me. Brings back lots of early Jeep memories! I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and a great year ahead.
Awesome! I learned to drive a stick in a field on a 1952 CJ2a. 4 wh low, 4th gear floored...16mph. 😀 Finally got it stuck going diagonal across some big dirt humps..2 wheels in the air, 2 wheels all the way compressed. Awesome little vehicles.
Sounds like there's a lot of cool old Jeep stories out there! Way cooler than the right hand drive mail Jeep I had!

This utube was great made think of my grandpa and days of fishing mine was blind so he didn't teach that kind of stuff but I Learned a lot of other stuff from him
“Gave her the ole reacharound & she slid right in there!” 😂 The things this man says make my day every Monday. Isn’t “That pretty neat!” 😂😂😂 Enjoy the show my friends!!!!
Glad you caught that one!

This was great! It’s awesome to see a family car return to life. I wish I had a family car but I’m the only one who likes cars. Good to see I’m not the only one with tire mounting and balancing machines. 👍
Over 2 hours of Mortske !! Your grandpa is surely proud of you !! Awesome to meet you dad !
Love your show. You and duff are awesome and like all your projects
Much appreciated
I was born in 57 too. Good year. Love your channel, young man. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
You as well Jim!
Starting Monday off right with Mortske!
You're young but remind me of my father growing up!! With Duff and the birds. Wanting and being excited to hunt them. Plus he was a mechanic also. Now I'm a diesel mechanic. Love watching your videos taking it back to basics with the cool old school cars. I know this is an older video. I just finished watching it and loved the video!!
Right on
Duff had me crying when you were explaining the shock absorbers. He is such a great dog and workshop mate.
He sure is!
Loving this video. Truly miss the time I spent wrenching with my old man, or in the machine shop, building stuff. Great video. Well done.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love the whole ''will it start'' old iron community from classic cars to old construction equipment but you've become on of my favorites. Especially when I have a soft spot for Jeeps and it was so enjoyable getting an hold family heirloom going! You deserve way more subs but I know they'll come!
Much appreciated Brodie!

Man I wish I had a friend, especially one like you, my dads car might actually move again . Thank you for your time and videos, my late fathers car just gets worse, has a new hot 428
Don't know if you will see this....this is my favorite episode..I am a grandpa (Papa)...I show my kids and Grandkids all I know...just like yours did...hit me in the feels when this popped off...thought of one word..Legacy....keep on and I'll keep watchin'!!
Thanks much Justin!
What an excellent video, especialy knowing it came directly from your family I loved every second of it. You went through just about almost every bit of this jeepster, as well as pointing out what it used to be comparing today's . - Don't forget your kingpins.👌
They're on the list! With about 83 other things...
Good stuff man. Made me get a bit choked up thinking about the times I had with my Grandparents.
Hey friend it's OK to get choked up over good memories of those in our lives that's gone on that taught us what we know and invested time in our lives
Thanks for teaching us to honor our elders Granpa- Dad- Uncle etc. love how you mention them with sincerity. They're proud of you. Believe it.
Thanks!
Awesome walk down memory lane! Nice seeing your dad working with you! I’m sure your dad will enjoy riding around in the Jeepster when it gets warm again!
Thanks Nancy!
Oh hell yeah!!! Another MULLET MORTSKE MONDAY!!!
Duff has got to be the most loved and popular dog on youtube.
Im a big jeep fan. Dont have any family heirlooms but i have a 46 cj2a. Love your jeepster and the truck and the fam history. Nothing better
Great video. I really enjoyed watching the process. Bringing back a vehicle (especially a Jeep) with such strong family ties only makes it that much better!
Way to go ! I’m always looking forward to another mechanical endeavor that you’ve accomplished. I’m sure your father enjoyed working with you . Thanks.
Everybody is proud of you man. Even duff.
I love the commentary of your videos. With UA-cam premium, I can listen you without watching all day at work. Since I work for myself, I can laugh as much or as loud as I want and no one can say nuttin!!
That’s awesome!
I love these extra long vids. Watch half in the morning, then come back later and watch the other half.
The genuine excitement on your face when you got the Jeepster running was great.
Also, was wondering if you did indeed roll those adjusters out on the brakes... had the same no brake thing with my 49 Chrysler after a brake overhaul (with master and wheel cylinders..) ... That was part of the problem.
I never did adjust them but that's something that should be addressed as well. Thanks!
@@MortskeRepair This has become my favorite channel. I think it is because the videos are quite detailed and lengthy. It's like a weekly feast which I can't wait to devour. Thanks again, brougham.
For cooling systems I used CLR it cleans up pretty good.
Good to know!
@@MortskeRepair -- For the ultrasonic cleaning unit, Mustie1 here on YT has the same unit, and has tried out a bunch of cleaning solutions over the past several years on the same kind of cleaning jobs you're doing-- cleaning old engine parts. Maybe you could message him. Oh, and another thing, you might might try making a small basket out of aluminum window screen for your very small parts.
@@grizzlygrizzle Thanks for the tip!
That "yup" after the spark sounded just like "did we just become best friends? ... yup!"
That is classic automotive based comedy ... still chucklin'!
What a classic movie quote!
I just love duff way too much he’s quite frankly the best shop dog 😂
Love the video. Keeping old rigs in the family like this is pretty neat!
Jeep owner here,love the old grill on this Overland Jeepster.Definitely a diamond in the rough!!
I cannot believe l watched the whole thing, and with interest. I had a '59 in '68 as a teen. It was ragged out when l got it. It was great! As a testimony- several friends who had fun with me turning it into scrapmetal also bought their sons jeeps so they could enjoy doing the same. Thank you. Merry Christmas!
Glad to hear it! Same to you Timothy!
Great to see you and your dad working together! Awesome that you got it running and driving, your grandpa would be proud to see it on the road for sure! I'm pretty sure Duff would do half of the work if he had thumbs! I think that's what he's trying to tell you half of the time. Great video, I like the feature length, awesome! Have a Merry Christmas and as always looking forward to the next adventure! Watch out for those fan blades too!!
Thanks for watching and you as well John!
Great to see working on a family vehicle with your dad, as you know it won’t seem long before he’s not around , it’s a great thing u are doing 👍
Thanks Robert!
Congratulations on getting it going your grandfather would be proud! I wish I had someone in my life to have taught me and teach me more about cars that's why I love your channel I learn alot each video
Glad to hear it Billy!
Love watching you and duff fix the cool old car I’ll be get some merchandise
2:38:36!!!! Yes! Merci Mortske de nous offrir du contenu de qualité. C'est toujours un plaisir de visionner vos vidéos. Je ne suis pas vraiment un ''Car Guy'', je ne suis pas un mécanicien mais je suis un de vos plus grands partisans. Joyeuses Fêtes à vous et à Duff! Marc de Montréal! (Google translate should help you on this)
Génial je pensais être le seul francophone à suivre Mortske mais non et c’est génial ! Bonne fête à tous !
Thanks for watching even though you're not a mechanic!
Hey 👋 from MamaCard in Florida.
Browsing this earlier episode over dinner, I note that Duff's acting chops were fully developed years ago. Consistency is key to great acting!
YOUR grandpa is proud of you Mortski
Thanks Kevin!
Very cool old rig! The surfers back in the 60s drove these, a common sight at the beach back then. Definitely worth restoring. 👍 I've even seen them for sale on Barrett Jackson.
Awesome!
Lovely video, something different, a great backstory, and some interesting family history. Great seeing you and your Dad working as a team on this restoration, your Dad's humour with references to your "mistakes" were a joy. Fine restoration. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Not much gets by him! You as well Ken!
First time watching Mortske Repair. Fun video. Like the dog stuff.
Welcome!
I under stand about your grandpa and your Dad, my Dad was a Vietnam vet Sergeant crew chief on C-130, my Dad's Dad my Grandpa fought on Okinawa in ww2 in the army. Family is very special, appreciate them while they're still here, Reynolds tin foil works good for Chrome, Mortske & Duff have happy New Year.
Thanks David! You as well!
Puddin has puddin pop’s we have to give your dad a nickname
Dad doesn't understand why you are doing UA-cam. Dad comes on one of your videos and it hits 200k+ views in the first week. Classic.
Good timing!

I started selling firewood to make some extra cash during the winter months so my stump was sacrificed for the greater good. Selling firewood is how I plan on buying vehicles like you do. I'm fortunate to live in an area where I can take my modified 1988 Bolens garden tractor behind my house to cut deadfalls. Last year I cleared enough profit to buy my first pro 60cc saw. I bought a Husqvarna 562XP. Now I can cut larger trunks instead of leaving them in the woods. I was going to buy my first project car this winter but my wife got Covid and we had to rely on the extra income from firewood sales to get us through Christmas. I don't mind being patient. I live in Michigan so vehicles here are in a similar condition as the ones you find there. That makes them cheaper 😁 I appreciate all of the work you put into sharing your projects with us. It motives me and I learn a lot. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Thanks and Same to you!
ZOMG... Mortske gettin' choked up... who's cutting onions in here again...
My grandpa was an ambidextrous lead body work man in his life; maybe someday I can show off some of the things he taught me too.

Come on papa mortske we need your son, he's a light in these crazy pandemic days! You've got one talented awesome son! Cool ol rig with great family history behind it! Happy holidays to u guys!

I lost my dad about 4 years ago.😞 I think about him every day!😊 he was an animal lover too. Also liked fords. Lol
The amount of rust on that plug was simply amazing. Yall are lucky to to find stuff like this.
This episode is so much more special for its sentimentality. Grandpa would have loved it. Subscribed because of this one!
Much appreciated!
Nice Job!!! Lit off on the first try! That is soooo cool that you got to resurrect your Grampa's Jeepster...He IS smiling down upon you!
Thanks!
Dude some of my best memories are working on cars with my dad. He taught me alot. Your stories are awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you like them!
Dude I love you dog. 2:10:12 he’s like are you gonna get this thing going so we can go for a ride? Oh I runs again! So close!
Thanks for the basic repair help to our people of mystery ability.
Our pleasure Chris!
I have a jeep picture of jeeps they hung on a car lot show room wall from 45 to i think 84 , this is the spitting image of the 48 in my picture , yours is beautiful and she sounds great
When you were beating it with the hammer & timber block im yelling at my phone it's moving its moving!🤣🤣
watching you get choked up referring to your grandfather's reminded me of Both of mine. Thank you Mortske! happy holidays.
Same to you!
great to include your DAD! More videos with you guys reviving junk!
Even better than Mohesky Monday? Two hour Mortske Tuesday!!! Nice To meet Mr. Mortske. Made Me laugh when he told you to go ahead tapping on the valves “that’s your job” cracked me up. Love what you do!!
Glad you enjoyed it Jim!
Grandfather's are the best. Mom's Dad passed a month before I was born so I didn't know him. Dad's father was who I learned a lot from. Fishing, crabbing and boats were Pop's forte. That and drinking Ortlieb's. He was a Chris-Craft guy. Had two different 24' cruisers. He passed when I was 18. I miss you much Romano.
Would love to find one of the smaller versions of those Chris Crafts!
@@MortskeRepair My Uncle hand an outboard gorgeous boat. Finish like glass. My cousin had a 2p' inboard. We live near the Delaware River. I water skied many many times behind it. Talk about flying on water.
you are lucky to have had grandparents i had none growing up
Good job, your gramps hooked you by saving that old ride for your show... cheers to his memory. On a different note, laughed my as* off was watching Puddn's second yehaul vlog. When pulling the old battery he talked trash on your battery hold down techniques. He pulled the battery balanced it on the edge of the core support and soon as he turned away it moved and feel forward off the front the truck smashing down on his dewalt wire wheel tool lol. The cure of Mortske's revenge will get you every time! Merry Christmas!
Karma!!
Man Mort, you talking about your Grandpa hit me in the feels hard. They were built different back then. I miss mine too. He was into cars too. So much so, my dad's first car was a wrecker! True story... LOL
My grandpa had a wrecker aw well! This car actually ran into it one time.
@@MortskeRepair OMG that's hilarious... And that Jeepster looks freaking sweet! Maybe not a restoration but bring it back to life would be epic
@@MortskeRepair I fr
Every shop should have a Duff in it
No doubt!
Back in the old days, I'm 75, we used to flush radiators and blocks with straight lye. We'd run a can of Red Devil and water through the system for 1/2 hour or so they flush with a hose till it ran clear and repeat if necessary. I love the epic long vids; it's better than watching a movie.
Looking forward to the next one.
I’ll give it a shot!
Best show ever. Awesome remembering days gone by with your Dad and Grandpa. Stay real.
Thanks much Kyle!
Cool car, cool story. Mortske getting sentimental. Thats right folks, real men do cry!
awesome to see you fire up this old thing and get er going down the road
After seeing this car in you Dad’s garage when you did the Skylark LS swap, I had to watch this video next. I love the cars with family connections and I think your Dad will be so happy now this is running and driving.
A lovely thing you’ve done here, love your work
Glad you enjoyed it!
this is one of the coolest ones because its a family car, nice one Mr Mortske
Sure is! Thanks Khaki!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Oh lord, now the infamous shocking incident.You have made some golden video moments sir. I am with you all the way thru this video journey you are on.
it is with great respect and fond memories of gramps. you are a lucky one and it show he has influenced your life.
Sure am!
wait a minute, beep beep back up the truck! need to know more about that funny looking Farmall!!
It’s an ABC Farmall!

Thanks Mortske. I can see your appreciation for the Jeep and how much it meant to your Dad and Grampa.
Love Duff. We like you as well. You do a good job and plenty of detail.
