'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.

He's doing the same thing.That's currently being done to 20 year old pickup trucks and cheap cars in general It's just these are older now and it's expected to make them nicer not running.

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.

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, 🙌👍❤️

Right on and good luck man

[@KurtClark]

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.

Certainly exceeded my expectations.

[@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.

Soubd advice if it's about getting to driving the car. But like you said, sometimes it's for the experience, and sometimes its about saving the car.

[@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.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 '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'.

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.

My response was who the F$ck cares, it looked great, that's all that anybody cared about before the fire.

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!

Another awesome episode. Anyone that can’t see the amount of work involved in this episode, has never worked a day in their life. Looking forward to seeing the end result of this build. I would also love to see the work you put into your Dads new GTO on outside the barn. 👍 Dalton and family.

I am Very impressed. You are always with your son, teaching and letting him learn his way. You my good Sir, are a great father. Keep doing Exactly what you’re doing. It’s perfect

Man, I've been a youtube watcher since Charlie bit his brothers finger, but I've only stumbled across this channel maybe 6 or 7 months ago. I'm a huge fan of this man's channel. Work with what you've got is a way of life.

I’ve always done my rough in filler over bare metal, never had a problem! 50 different people will tell you 50 different ways! Keep up the good work! You are like the normal person who works out of their garage! 90 percent of my tools are harbor freight! I painted my charger in my garage at home and have won 15 awards this year at car shows!

Your not trashy. You’re frugal. I’m learning all I need to know to DIY restore my 75 Granville convertible. It’s got to be candy apple ish in color. Metallic Red tractor is fine with me too

Love this build man. When you pulled that branch out of the fender it was a new one.

You're an inspiration to all us regular guys.

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!

My wife’s grandfather taught me bodywork and his techniques were very similar to yours. Gramp used to call it crash and crunch body work, but it does the job and you have more finesse. I also love seeing JD working and learning from you. My son used to till he moved out on his own, cherish those moments. Keep up the good work and the great videos.

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.

Pinholes are the best place to break out an oxy-acetylene torch and a piece of bronze-silica rod and just fill them in and then grind it smooth with a flap disc. The bronze will fill in the hole and even behind it (if you get it hot enough) and you'll never have to deal with it again. I brazed up all the old button snap holes from a soft top on the old 65 FJ40 we used to own and judging by the pictures on the ad for it on facebook being sold by the new owner's son over 15 years later, you still can't tell they are there. (unlike where I was about to fix the rocker that rusted through, and had stripped the bondo and lead off the quarter panel and never got to fixing it and neither did they... but Commifornia they now want $10,500 for a vehicle we sold them for $2500.. literally all they've changed is they put a hard top on it and new rims and tires and now it doesn't run) That upper windshield channel would've been perfect to cut out of the donor Galaxie.. if you still had it.. or maybe the rusty GTO. A double trick for keeping POR from sealing the can shut, or turning to goop before you use it again, put a thin plastic bag across the top of the can and then close the can over it. The POR will either stick to the plastic or pull right off of it if it's the soft/slick type like you get for produce. To keep the stuff in the can from going bad/hardening turn on a propane or butane torch without fire and let the heavier than air gas fill up the can for at least 30 seconds.. basically until you start smelling gas.. then close the can as above. The propane/butane will displace the air and keep it from reacting with the oxygen. You don't need short strand fiberglass if the repair is non-structual, simple polyester filler like Rage Gold would do the job on that dash just as well and sands much easier and smoother. (I went to college for body work, on top of watching how to shows since I was 10. I'm almost 39 now) With paint like that, it's so much quicker to chemically strip it, one of the simplest ways being to use brake fluid. The rounded part of the fender flare is easiest to cut with a piece of sticky long board paper on a pool noodle. It helps get into those concave areas way better than anything else. A trick to seeing the dents easier is to spray a solvent onto it, while it's wet you'll be able to see every low spot, gouge, crease and dent. Talking about the trunk lid "I still can't find one.." Here's one take your pick.. google is your friend: www.google.com/search?q=1964+Pontiac+lemans+truck+lid&oq=1964+Pontiac+lemans+truck+lid&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIJCAEQABgNGIAEMgYIAhBFGEAyDQgDEAAYhgMYgAQYigUyCggEEAAYgAQYogQyCggFEAAYgAQYogQyCggGEAAYogQYiQUyCggHEAAYgAQYogTSAQoxMTI5MWowajE1qAIIsAIB&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 I bet that new primer on the roof is lifting really bad already.. POR does one thing really well.. sealing rust, especially on suspension/frame parts.. it is so hard though that unless you paint over it while it's still tacky, nothing will stick to it... it even says that on the can or their website. It also says not to leave it in direct sun because it has no UV protection and it will turn chalky and start lifting like old clear coat in no time. Sealer isn't used for going over bare metal.. it's used to seal the old paint and filler before adding more paint on top of it.
