You got the stroker core engine from Dylan

Looks like its got a couple killer boogers kiwi lol love it

An original 1969 trunk pan still in the car? That’s got to be ultra rare! In my youth I owned a 71 Chevelle that I bought needing back rocker panels and a trunk floor. In the engine bay was that the original master cylinder?

What a beautiful update to a nice ce classic. Someone spent some money on this baby!

You had me cringing when you took the grinder to the original hand crank rivets. I've bled because of those springs cutting loose. A tip for anyone planning a similar upgrade. Hit a pick&pull junkyard, get the regulators, switches, wiring, accordion boots for the door to body gaps. One stop shopping.

Well done Kiwi, always a pleasure when you have successfully completed the challenge.

Not only does Kiwi got to do the Jon correctly, he has also to essentially fix all the screw ups the other garage did. The weight of that big engine can’t be good for the cars mponenta taking all that weight…

Go get”um Kiwi! Marge will be fine!

My '69 Delta Olds has that speedo!

Bring Large Marge over to shame that firetruck into running right!

You've inspired me to engineer a setup for the doors in my TJ Wrangler. Do I need power windows in a Jeep? Of course not. Do I want power windows in a Jeep? Yes I do! Great job, Kiwi!

I love these hack video Kiwi shows us but they really make my blood boil. When a car has that much rust on the frame rails, it begins to become not economically feasible to fix the car unless the owner doesn’t care what it cost. That car need a total frame off restoration. Although a beautiful car, not many are going to throw 125k+ to fix it, so hacks charge 50k-75k to make the outside look good with glue and bandages for the underneath part of the car. Makes my blood boil!

Instead of doing a half-ass job riveting patch panels on the rear quarters and a bindi job that you know sooner or later is going to ruin the nice paint job, really, how much extra work is it to weld two new quarter panels and a trunk pan? If you said “profits” or “money”, you would be correct. I’m sure they would have made some well-deserved good money if they done it right but scum bags will always be scum bags.

Cool and for not much money

I normally don’t watch 40 minute videos but yours are the exception. So refreshing to watch your impressive skills at work without having to see you pounding your chest to remind us how great you are, like most you tubers do. Your personality and humble nature sets you apart from the others Kiwi!

I assume that convertible truck is a custom job and I haven’t awoken in another universe? God, I hate cheap Chinese parts!

Has this engine ever been rebuilt by anyone? I ask because sometimes when the put them back together they use aftermarket parts like gaskets that are 10mm to thick that can rob these engines of compression.

Stunning.

So is the UTC & KCC team dead???

Did Kiwi give the name of this hack shop? I know it’s a “difficult” thing to do, it would be a great gift to your views as you may save someone who might go to these butchers. It goes father than the money; the damage they do to these classic boils my blood!

Kiki; No mud under that baby! This has got to be a warm climate car or one not used much…when one looks at what The Chrysler Corporation once was, it can today only be seen as a tragedy of time. Those guys made some super beautiful cars…..most of what they produce today is trash. From what we can hear in the video (which is not much!) it almost sounds like cheap gas giving it pinging like sound on acceleration. Either way, ole Kiki looks like he’s having fun! PS-Hate to add on but! That car should have a lot more balls on acceleration. Those TA were really race cars.

White letters OUT.

Marge is going to be at a level she never thought she could attain. It just took the magic of Kiwi.

Thanks for showing this beautiful car !

For me, butchery is bad enough but when these hacks start screwing with structural items (like frame rails, engine mounts ect) it become criminal because the car is not safe to drive. I live in a state where they do a half decent inspection of a car (Massachusetts) but they still don’t lift the car and look underneath. That car is not safe to drive. In Massachusetts we have a 30 day “lemon” law where is anything is wrong with the car (that wasn’t listed on the sale) it has to be repaired or a full refund.

As always, Kiwi to the rescue. Well done my friend. It's unfortunate that this young man had to learn the hard way that it's best to do a little background research on someone's business before allowing them to work on your classic car.

Hi Kiwi , Iv'e been thinking about stiffening my VH Valiant with sub frame connectors, but now have seen the torque box modifications you do , and, in a prior video I got the impression that you thought the torque box side of things is all thats necessary? . I'll put it this way , when I used to use the bumper jack (I use a floor jack now ) on the front , it showed the flex in the frame by the front doors binding on the door catch , so, I'd like to stiffen it enough to eliminate that flex . So, Im wondering , would torque box strengthening be enough? , or connectors as well ? . I don't think Iv'e noticed the same amount of flex with my smaller A bodies. I,d like it if the NZ certification people didnt have to be involved with these mods ???.

Great effort and getting it done on the cheap. I got 62 Impala wagon with the same type of switches

definitely trying this! Thank you so much.

Interesting thought 🤔

I'm still amazed at how a , late model Honda civic power window regulator is , similar to Large Marge . Outstanding fabrication skills Mr. Kiwi 🪛🔧

Great job Kiwi.! It’s true you need a positive attitude, but you also need to be grounded 😉🤣

Do you know your wagon was in the background of the opening sequence of blumhouses Truth or dare movie? It is. It won't do anything for the value or anything like a car character like christine but it's definitely that wagon.

Manual steer 💪💪💪yes, I put msd dizzys in mine, beats mucking about with points, did it for kicks as a kid but not now👴🏻

It is always fun to see your vision come to fruition! Happy july 4th!

good grief flawless too, now you need power locks, seats, the 1955-what 59 new yorker deluxe has a real nice electric bench, the 300's .. my guess is you want to go budget so you'll wire up your own . . . if you want to go modern some the trucks like the ford F150 have like 12 way electric bench with a fold down middle section for a arm rest and glove box, cup holders as well, adjustable lumbar, recline, and leg too i believe so you set the cruise and kick back.... flip up center arm rest and it seats 3, pretty trick... leather or cloth, check into them like I dunno when they started or ended those electric bench seats like that my 19' f150 has it, from like L11 to L19 or so? be way nice in your ride, find a crusher at like copart whatever, wrecking yard, get that nice bench seat out and use it before they crush it up . . . gonna be a real nice wagon, do not forget cruise control, OEM or aftermarket! hale just put that body on an F150 2 wheel drive setup, coyote, whipple for 800hp... have it all, steer by GPS, adaptive cruise control, they hacked the GPS auto pilot now it will go form floriduh to seattle driving all by GPS .. nuts, sleep alarm not included . . . find a crasher at copart for like $2k hale YES!

Thanks for sharing you gave me idea to put pw in one of my classic great tip.😊

Great job on the power windows Kiwi. I find that fascinating that the gear from Marge and the electric one are so similar to each other being that they are what 50 years or more apart.

Be careful with that spring! It will smash (if you're lucky) your fingers quicker than quick. Don't ask me how I know.

This will be awesome!

I like the car but not the engine. They should have put a Ford 351 Windsor engine in that car. But I know that the GM 350 engine is a dime a dozen.

This will now be my project on my 1969 Dodge D100 truck.

Excellent work, hopefully an inspiration for many other driveyard wrenchers. How about electric power steering using components from scrapped Priuses? I bet you'd make it work nicely.

Awesome work kiwi , power door locks next ? 🫣

I'm impressed! Nice work

It’s people like you who will survive in a post apocalypse world. You are an intelligent person.

Kiwi you're work and wisdom is always appreciated. Your channel is thriving and I'm happy you've limited your interactions with that fraudster Tony who is just a loud mouth. Keep creating and thank you for sharing.

The floor pan has a cutout on the power seat cars. It’s a channel in the floor for clearance.

" If I can do it, you can do it" Haha, not a hope in hell of me doing that 🙃

That was pretty darn cool, Kiwi. Nice job!
