1948 Chevy Barnfind "Will it Run and Drive?"

[@johncaballero8013]

Old Chevys never die! She sounds great for an old gal!

[@MrVintageRestoration]

@@johncaballero8013 you definitely got that right! She runs like a sewing machine! Chevy may have been late to the party with V8's but those old straight 6's were runners! Only thing I wish was it was a 235 instead of the 216. The 235 had a better oiling system and modern insert bearing

Love the old 48 chevy it's a nice car it runs like a champ I love everything about it its the real made car my wife and I love all the antique automobiles we use to own 2 1966 chevy impalas with original engines and transmissions I should have never let them go but I learned a valuable lesson I may never own another antique automobile but if I ever do again I'm holding on to it and won't sell it thanks for bringing the 1948 chevy back to life keep up the good work I just subscribed to your channel have a nice day and god bless

[@MrVintageRestoration]

@@chestercribb9075 I always say, never say never. We never know what the good Lord has in store for us, and you may find your self behind the wheel of a old car again someday😉 I have a sweet spot for this 48. I remember the first time I saw it and just loving the body style and the Banjo steering wheel. I've got this and my 54 Oldsmobile. Old cars and Tractors hold a special place in my heart. I can do and restore nearly anything, but those are my favorites. Thanks for watching and subscribing! Bless you as well, and wishing you and yours a great Holiday season 😊

[@chestercribb9075]

@MrVintageRestoration thank you and wishing you and your family a good holiday season also

Man I love that you kept the camera in the car while you were starting it. That was awesome!

[@CarburetedCowboy]

Came here to say the same thing. I wish you made way more of your cold start and first start videos like this. I love watching you work the pedals, especially with a starter pedal. Sooooo cool! Love all the cranking.

[@MrVintageRestoration]

@@gearhead9943 we definitely like multiple camera angles and glad to hear others do to😁 something cool about that view from behind the wheel when that engine spits and sputters to life☺️ thanks for watching and commenting!

[@MrVintageRestoration]

​@@CarburetedCowboy it's definitely one of my favorite kind of videos to make! Fingers crossed I'll have a couple more in the near future! It's about 26 degrees here in Michigan right now, so you might get lucky on another cold start video!😉

[@kenvickery7319]

nice to see it running again

[@kevinfiebelkorn4715]

Looking good as it is with the potential to be a real beauty like the Oldsmobile. And I'm one of those rare individuals who prefers 4 door cars. I started out with a 66 Catalina wagon and got hooked on the practicality.

[@MrVintageRestoration]

@@kevinfiebelkorn4715 I'm a sucker for 4 doors, always hated having to crawl in and out of the back seat of a 2 door 😂

[@shirlynb148]

Nice intro Austin. Charlie & Violet were so excited!

[@MrVintageRestoration]

@@shirlynb148 thanks so much! We really liked how the new intro covers the wide variety of projects I do! Yes, the kids are maniacs 😂

[@marklevine57]

This the fist time if seen that done to old or any flats !!!! Good call jacking them up first then lighting up !!!!!!

[@MrVintageRestoration]

@@marklevine57 it definitely works better with radials 😂 or tires that aren't 70 yrs old 😂 thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for taking time to comment ☺️

[@Jstme303]

Good video the drive down the road looking out over the hood , was like being in the car.

[@MrVintageRestoration]

@@Jstme303 I'm glad to hear that!🥰 It was exactly the vibe I was trying to create. There is something special about a ride in a old car that stirs the soul☺️

[@Jstme303]

[@The_rusty_corner.]

Another great video, awesome car to get running. Greetings and happy Thanksgivings from California Mr. Vintage.

[@MrVintageRestoration]

@@The_rusty_corner. Thanks for watching and commenting! This was definitely a favorite project for me! A very happy Thanksgiving to you and yours from all of us here in the Great Lakes State😁

[@ian.M440]

Great news getting it running Looking forward for the next episode

[@MrVintageRestoration]

@@ian.M440 thanks for watching! It's definitely fun to be doing some of our more normal content again! Will it run? Is definitely one of my favorite video types to do 😁

[@ClassicChrome86]

That is really cool to see these cars get running again. You have a pretty cool channel as well. I just subscribed.

[@MrVintageRestoration]

Thanks@@ClassicChrome86 for watching and subscribing! Old stuff is definitely our passion and I'm glad it shows! 😊

[@ClassicChrome86]

@@MrVintageRestoration Absolutely

[@davidkline998]

Excellent video! Show the Hoosier state a little love and do the red Studebaker, that sits in the front of the barn.

[@MrVintageRestoration]

Thanks@@davidkline998 😁 that one is lacking most of a engine, but I do potentially have a Studebaker pickup lined up for a future video! Fingers crossed I'll be showing the love to everyone's favorite South Bend Orphan automobile 🥰

[@abandonedhistory3383]

Great video! Keep us posted on the Chevys future

[@MrVintageRestoration]

Thanks@@abandonedhistory3383 !!! Fingers crossed, it'll be getting a paint job in the near future 😄

The master cylinder for the brakes is under the driver floor and is accessible by opening up the square plate and opening you can then take the cap off and add fluid. I bled the brakes on my 47 myself by filling the cylinder, pumping up and then opening each bleeder on each wheel one at a time until all were bled. The pedal will go down by itself when opening the bleeder. This is a trick I got over on my Dad and he said “ Well I’ll be “. lol 😅

[@MrVintageRestoration]

@@davidadkison4702 I love it!!! I knew the cylinder was under the drivers floorboard. But held off on it right away, figured the bleeders would probably break off. I'm debating on upgrading the master and adding a booster. I want this car mostly stock, but like to add some safety features

[@davidadkison4702]

The 47 & 48 had vacuum shift for 2nd gear so it made it easier to get into second.

[@MrVintageRestoration]

@@davidadkison4702 it seemed I read something about a vacuum shift assist, but didn't get under the car to look. It would start to go into 1st but wouldn't hold and you could hear the gear grind like it wasn't fully engaged. I decided it was best not to force it until I could get it back to the shop for a closer inspection. Thanks for confirming the vacuum shift 😀

[@artmellon8852]

Put it back together, fix the brakes so you can really drive it and enjoy it.... It's a nice solid old car.

[@MrVintageRestoration]

@@artmellon8852 fingers crossed, we'll put it back together over the next year. It's really a beautiful car with a load of potential 🥰

[@oscarguerrero7849]
