'64 Pontiac Lemans RUST REPAIR & DIY Restoration Begins!

[@DiscGolfDom23]

This is why Dalton is so good and why this channel is amazing. Put dangerously rusty and compromised vehicles on the road in the cheapest way possible? Done. Convertible sedan conversions? Done. Do a working-man's garage RESTORATION for a car that deserves it? DONE. Beater life is a spectrum.

Too many folks forget that real engineering and real maintenance are the sciences of "Good Enough." You can't overbuild everything, not everything needs to be 100%, your time is valuable and sometimes making progress is more important than perfection. Keep doing what you do, Dalton.

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Thanks man

[@justinwise6950]

Exactly! I have seen a few episodes of Graveyard Cars and I appreciate their knowledge and dedication, but I could absolutely care less about a car that is 400% better than when it came out of the factory. Even if I could afford it I would then be afraid to drive it and enjoy it.

[@DavidRoss-hd3rv]

Pps… I served my mechanical apprenticeship with my Father. He kept making me fix a 73 mini clubman.Every nut , bolt, engine and taught me how to primer, prep and spray it. Every spare minute spent on that mini! ……eventually, it was mint!… I was so proud……. Long story short, it sat in the corner of the workshop. Kept asking when the bloke was coming for this beautiful car. He will he said. Went for my driving test, passed, came back to work, and Mum n Dad were sat in the office, said well done, and Dad said here! Best go get your car out of here, needs a wash and threw the mini keys at me! I miss my Dad. Now look after Mum. And I was adopted….. Thaught ide share that, cos you bring those memories flooding back. God Bless you, 🙌👍❤️

I really needed someone out there to say "If I don't see it, I don't care" when it comes to rust repairs. For so many years I've been surrounded by perfectionistas who wanted me to do factory-style rust repairs on inner fenders etc. All it did was keep me from doing it, because I "didn't wanna do it wrong." I realized these people wanted me to restore the car for THEM not ME. Thankfully, now I can live by The Polebarn Garage Creed and make my old car driveable and fun...for ME. Cheers Dalton!!

[@AsswipeGarage]

Amen. Good enough is GOOD ENOUGH! If it looks good, it IS good. I hate those guys that say, "If you're gonna do it, do it right". Screw you, it's MY car. If it's bondo, chicken wire, and fiberglass under the paint, I DON'T CARE.

[@SugarChateau]

Yea he cares way more than I do. I fix rust holes, I can’t stand holes but shiny paint and flat panels. I couldn’t care less. Fix the holes, blend it to match the rest of it. Poppy’s Patina it and ride like hell. I got 2 I’ve done that way Every where I go it gets complimented and people wanting to buy it. Shiny paint is way overrated. That car would a been sweet with the rust holes fixed and poppy’s patina but Dalton says he can’t pick up chicks without shiny paint. I don’t have that problem 😂😂😂😂

[@DatBlueHusky]

Im a body man for 10+ years and what you did is really good for home restro, much better than most shops just doing smaller repairs. Also if anyone reads this, it is worth to spend the extra money to find a clean car than finding a rusty one like this and doing all this work like in the video, trust me. Only makes sense if its a car that you are willing to do for fun and fart around with or if its a rare valuable car. There is many out there and sometimes takes time to find a clean one but it will be worth it.

[@jpayne80]

100%! I have put in so many hours on my '66 GMC pickup removing rust/adding new metal. I honestly did not know how much time it would take when started. Buying a truck in better condition would have been much smarter.

[@DecalsAndFriedChicken13]

To be honest, this car is really extremely solid except for the deck lid and the issue with the window frame. You aren't going to find a perfectly rust free car this old unless you get one that's already totally restored.

[@jimrky6062]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 'Future Dalton pities Past Dalton in his naivete ... ' 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Best line EVer! 2 things - 1. Yes! I, too, in my youth, wire brushed rust with no protection. I wish I hadn't. Reminder: more things than mouse [bleep] can [bleep] with your lungs [JD needs a Dad]. 2. I know you don't have one, but an Acetylene outfit lets you "plate" thin metal with brass - great for windshield channels (hint, hint) - and it heats up [bleep] a treat when you're trying to remove it - like EVERYTHING! Love this video. Very relatable to things I have done in the past. With cars of the same vintage. When they were 7 years old. In New England - in the 'Bad Old Salt Days' where lasting 5-7 years )(never mind 20) was a MAJOR 'win'.

[@ney4na449]

Excellent Dalton! Watching you, Slick at OK Speed and Custom, and Scott at Cold War Motors make a guy think he should try again at my inept body work. And you are so right about why they charge you. Years ago, I took an autobody course at a junior college. They had a program where they would buy insurance totals repair collision damage, repair the mechanical stuff, sell the car and buy another one. The students got the experience, and the buyers got refurbished cars. The instructor gave me a twisted VW bug fender from the scrap barrel to metal finish. Like a dark ages witchfinder I beat the Hell out that thing until it was oil-canning. The instructor had me get out the torch and start the shrinking process. I finally got the fender nice, straight and flat after hours of metal finishing with pick hammer, the body files and half a bottle of acetylene. Those body guys earn their pay.

[@lifequest7453]

OH MAN!!! This vid SAVED my truck. When I started my project, I thought it was gonna be simply paint, a little sanding, prime, paint. Well not exactly. The reason I had such optimistic visions, was because 10 years ago a shop had touched up the body and painted it. They did a bad job!!! So this time, I was gonna do it myself (rolling eyes.) Its an 86 k10 so I must have not gotten the memo about watching for rust, so the rust got me. The Rad support was GONE. It came out in pieces. Then some rust, some with holes, here and there. Fender well rear flares, on the box, had rust and when I ground the rust off, HOLES. Haven't found any panels for the box wheel fender rear flares, so I did the next best thing, FIBERGLAS. I tell you, I became a sculpturer with the death wheel to form that flare "JUST RIGHT". (BOTH SIDES!) You don't know where you are going until you jump into one of these projects. I can't tell you how many times I came back to a Dalton vid for "SUPPORT" and strength to continue. Pole Barn Vids and the guest stars, JD, JESSIE, Jim, Cory and all the rest make these vids the ones to watch. The people in the vids are fun and entertaining and they turn a bad car around to be an eye catcher. I expect my truck to be mostly done in a week, absolutely fabulous. Thanks to Daltons "GOOD ENOUGH" policy to see me through. And all my work is done outside. I dont have a $5.00 pole barn like Dalton has. He is so lucky, lol. For those of you that have not used POR15, let me fill you in a bit. When you are applying POR15, you cover the garage floor or the driveway. You get POR15 on concrete, it does not come off. You wear OLD CLOTHES, just like concrete, POR15 wont come out of clothes. Wear rubber gloves, or you will wear the POR15 for at least a week. You wont be cleaning your brush. that's a given. When I used it, you are supposed to use a cleaner/degreaser, then a sealer. This is supposed to keep the por 15 where you paint it. One warning, dont paint over any nuts, bolts or joints that are supposed to move. If you do, you will never remove those nuts, bolts and the joints will be frozen forever, if not sooner. POR15 dries extremely hard, but you still need to put a top coat over it as it does not take the wrath of weather very well. After using and you have some left, put a plastic sheet between the can lip and the top. If you dont, that cap will never come off again. "added comment" POR15 cures with a mix of air and moisture. if you put the top on and store on a shelf normal side up, you will get a very hard skip coat on the top of the remaining POR15. It is rather, ok it's tough to get the rest out, you have to break through the skip coat. So, after you have the can sealed, store it in a pan (in case of leakage) UPSIDE DOWN, so the skimage will be on the bottom of the remaining POR15. Just a heads up.

Great job! Me growing up doing body work at my dad's body shop found through the years that body work comes down to 3 main factors. money, time, and quality.

There is a lot to it, heck having the knowledge on what material to use is a whole thing itself.

Dalton, this by far is one of my favorite videos of yours! My son and I did our 65 GTO 4 years ago using similar methods and he’s been driving and racing it since! Met you at Pontiac Nats..Too many people think you have to do a concourse restoration on every car. Get it on the road and enjoy it! Thank you!

[@braydensdeals]

Love seeing this proper high end work, reminds me of Carter auto restyling. Equal craftsmanship really.

[@michaelrichter1465]

First full coat of primer is satisfying, you know you're not even close to being done; but you see the form taking place. The light you see is not a locomotive but the end of the tunnel. Keep er going.

[@aussiewendelken7499]

Loving the resto of this, great seeing your dad, really enjoy the way you simplified the rust repair so the pretty much anyone can do it just have a go, sending love and prayers from us all here in England x

[@fostergrant1812]

I live in southwest MO. August is miserable here. It is truly awful. I have sat in a chair in the shade and still had sweat rolling off me. Nobody works outside in August unless they absolutely have to. So I commend you Dalton, for putting in the hard work to entertain us.

[@twinkie27271]

He lives in Northwest Missouri, just over the Kansas/Missouri line. I live in Wichita, Kansas, so I feel your pain for sure. I wrecked my van, so working on putting it back together.

[@mikecastillo3419]

Seeing you do body work reminds me of everyone I know who has passed that took the time to show me what they had known.

[@sniptaclar5568]

Hey dalton. I was being nosy and found a Man on marketplace in Greenville south Carolina that has 64’ got hoods and deck lids. If you want I can give you a link in curious.

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Appreciated!

[@steveneckard3649]

I always enjoy your show, thank you. I enjoy watching fabrication work on most anything. The welding that you are able to do is good work. I enjoy the watching the body prep/ mudding, fiberglass and the sanding. Watching a car getting primer and painted is awesome as well. The interior cleaning and prep, fabricating and rust treatment is cool as well. This is going to be a nice classic Pontiac when you are done. I am sure the interior is going to be well done as well. The drivetrain and engine should be well done as well. Great show!

[@caroled5734]

I’m so proud of you! It already looks great. MamaCard sending love. Thanks for always entertaining this 80 year old lady.

[@francismcdonaldjr3188]

This is not trash! this is how it's done, how I do it and how my brother does it, how we were tough how to do it in your driveway, we have now shop to speak of but we do good. We have kept an 86 Ford pickup on the road for 20 years and it looks ok not great,or show worthy, but I could drive it anywhere and not sweat it

[@Isaac-sv7xt]

Dalton’s videos like this really boosted me to work on my 79 Camaro and paint it from a old crappy yellow to a nice white I actually did the car outside because it was only spray paint and he is right anybody can do this

[@ghouliesgarage3922]

It's so easy for a person to say wow you're doing hack work ! But I totally appreciate the tips and tricks and for what you spend your vehicle's turn out really nice !

[@PoleBarnGarage]

I appreciate that a great deal

[@AsswipeGarage]

F the haters, whiners, and anal retentive curmudgeons. They can go buy a car and build it their way.....over the course of a decade. You do you.

[@rustyshackleford1091]

This is the reason this channel is the best car channel out there. Dalton shows how to make do with what you got and not what you wish you had. A pristine car isn’t gonna do you any good when it’s sitting in the garage waiting for you to get everything perfect. Get out there and get these cars on the road where they belong, lookin cool cruising down the road👍🏼

[@RoadHeros610]

Dalton youre the truth never trash the haters love you ..trust me ..u even have some one comparing you to sleeper dude ..,always remember youre not doung your job if yoh fontbhave a hater they need to know when they are walking youll be riding ...knowledge is key ..keep jp the giod work

[@joelg4849]

I put your channel on in the garage when I'm working on my e34 bmw. Your "just get it done " attitude keeps me going and motivated. I like your level of perfectionism, mine matches it.

[@Mgreen0104]

You stated all steps in proper order! To make a show car or quality paint job. You wipe the car end to end and block to perfection! Facts

[@joegerhard1358]

Car is looking good, man. Can't wait to see it painted. I like how your dad comes and helps you out with his knowledge and skills. Your dad is a cool dude. Let's see his car on outside the barn👍.

[@JohnnyAFG81]

That da sander and cigarette dangling reminds me of the old school body guy I used to work with. Meanest SOB that walked the earth but his craftsmanship was second to none!

[@joemollet]

Lookin good Dalton! Yours and your Dad’s 100hrs combined is paying off! Like you said, probably the favorite car you’ve owned so far so it’s gonna be worth it! Can’t wait for the finish!! Oh and JD’s time too! You are not Trash, just the average guy workin with what he’s got, don’t need all the big money shit to do quality workmanship! Keep doin what you do with what you have!!

[@toddphillips9141]

The beauty of this channel is the relatability. Not everyone can have Kevin Tetz stop by and paint your car. Just a dude, his boy, and occasionally his dad working in his home shop. Keep it up sir!

[@PoleBarnGarage]

I know Kevin, ironically, I'd love to work with the guy someday

[@richfletcher4286]

My first car was a 74 Ventura. I loved that car. I drove it until I went to the service in 86. Just seeing your dad’s GTO brought back so many memories. Use the sponsors and fix him up right. I’m sure he deserves it. Peace.

[@mwatkins2464]

Dalton you’re not trash. I believe you’re a very smart guy that knows a lot more than most of us watching and learning from you. No one knows everything there is always something here and there for most of us to store in the back of our minds to use when needed. Take care bud 👍🙏

[@kbschulze]

I have been watching for s GREAT video like this! I’m blown away how you found the best way you could make repairs with such lis standards. I tip my hat to you. I am inspired Sir and I feel like I can do anything. I will be anxiously waiting for the next show. JD is very fortunate.

[@s1135274]

"I'm free!" That-'s great! I've got a Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon that needs a driver-side door reskinned. I'll expect you next weekend!

[@jeremysmith6905]

First of you are the only “You Tuber” still working out of your original garage and house for that matter, kudos to you. I am in the process of blocking my ‘66 Le Mans preparing for paint and i also had to rebuild the lower channels of both the front and rear windows and lower dog legs but it was an Arizona car. The rear decklid is also garbage but it will do, creative glass and filler work hides the evil. Thanks to you it is also getting the full UMI compliment of parts but i’m keeping the 326 and 3 speed auto because i spent the money to have the tranny gone through and it runs like a sewing machine and i already have an LS swap going in my 1989 Jeep Grand Wagoneer and yes I am a Jeep and Pontiac guy with 3 of each and a brand new $90k GMC 2500 to haul my shit when they break down because old cars will break and we keep fixing them! Keep up the great work and keep it going!

[@tonybosworth5382]

Our Friday night weekly catch up with Pole Barn Garage! Great to see this coming along! Well done! Looking forward to the next one!

[@ianmckay1780]

This is why I watch Dalton every time he puts up a video. I especially love watching doing bodywork. Just the way he does it is so relaxing, I find myself literally saging over almost falling asleep. I'm so relaxed , it is the best channel on YT without comparison. JYD is 2nd behind on points. Love your stuff, you always do "just enough" to get things done. Superb watching thanks form UK.

[@PoleBarnGarage]

I appreciate that!

[@bendrake19]

i love the way you do things that the average joe can do in a barn and when you say you run out of talent to do stuff. no average joe is perfect but you do get the job done to a good enough level you give massive inspiration to regular guys and girls to get these old gems up and running and looking good enough to be proud of the cars, I've got a few old cars and motorcycles here in the uk that i keep going and that are not perfect bit good enough well done dude you're doing a fantastic job, keep it up Man

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Thanks so much brother

[@arg8763]

Great video to showcase how someone with skills can get good results while being pretty modest in how much care they are putting into it.
