I can't get enough of this channel. You are so creative and crazy. It's a stress relief listening to you rough through whatever you took on. This was the greatest bunch of craziness I've watched.

[@Platinumpuppy]

my dad had an old 4 door green nova. It saved his life one morning. in dense fog a guy in a duster went to pass a car and hit my father head on. My dad woke up with the chevy bowtie impression in his chest and a cut on his forehead. He was sore for a few days. I will always say that this nova saved his life.

[@M.TTT.]

Dang!

[@RosarioSound]

From the moment I discovered your videos I instantaniously felt that this is something else from all the others and thus far you've only verified that feeling. Your humble approach to doing mechanics and to other yotubers, your knowledge, yor VLOG-style and yor lovely Jen, truly makes this channel unique! To me you're a role model. With Love from Sweden!

I have to say, your neighbors are awesome to tolerate some of what you bring in, and Jen is straight up a SAINT! I am just living vicariously through you lol

[@alan6832]

I think Jenny silences any possible laughter at unfashonable hats unless she is among those laughing. You did somehow pick the right neighborhood too, most such neighborhoods are at least 20 miles from the auto parts store. Though there may be some in which you can walk to the junkyard.

[@claudespeed277]

Not the fate the car deserves after a revival, still cool to see it alive once more.

[@M.TTT.]

Only thing good about it is the sound, but yeah it was pretty nice. The killer was no title and unknown past.

[@DaveDeline]

I've dealt with wrong title,signature not signed at the sellers line where it should be.dmv will quote how much they charge, sometimes notary stamp needed to verify signatures. 4 doors not as cool as 2 but old gm A body wagons have 4 and can be cool and different. Buyer can do whatever they want to it once it's there's. Not too many survivers like that above Dixie line.salt/rust.i would have put a set of early rallies on it and use as daily driver.lexan to replace missing back glass.

Poor nova, my parents had a 1978 4 doors straight 6 it brought back memories. The custom hood work was lost. Great video.

[@alan6832]

I don't want to see demo anymore, especially not on that scale, so from the revival perspective, that was definitely a failure, though I don't know what chance it would have had for someone else to come along and save it from the crusher if Chris had walked on by. It might be infinitesimal, but it isn't zero. The thing to do is, once you take it, price it just out of reach of the scrapers and demo drivers and keep working on it until it is worth that price. The objective for me is charitable. that being the working poor who can't afford the rents on the bus line, and for them, the priorities are reliability and mileage, plus snow traction. What strikes me as the wierdest is that Junk Yard Digs does stuff for charity, but never revive cars for charitable purposes, though there are charities who provide cars to the working poor, and vans to the homeless. I just never see this connection made to revival mechanics, even those doing other charities. The V8 in that Nova has no practical purpose though, unless it is to tow trailers, in which case it needed a hitch.

[@jimmyz2098]

I come to KZbin mostly for guitar vids, and guitar-related stuff. And music. Maybe some boat and water type content (prolly how I found your channel). But I look for other random things as well.... and this channel has rapidly become one of my favorites. You guys are just absolutely awesome! I love your approach to life. Didn't even know Chris played the guitar. I knew Jen did... you guys do it all. So much fun! Great young couple... and you guys inspire me to want to live just a little more! Awesome.

The nova is my fav car I’d love to own one

[@Ghost_Vulgarian]

Many years ago I had to rescue a car which had tried to drive up a road which many Land Rovers would have struggled with. They were trying to get to a mansion 15 miles away from civilisation in the hills of Perthshire, Scotland. The exhaust had been ripped off and the driver tried to keep going, of course the exhaust system was wrapped around the back axle with one part in front of the passenger side rear wheel and behind the opposite rear wheel. The car was immovable. So we lifted the rear of the car up using the crane on the back of 1943 Dodge ambulance convertion and used an ox-acetylene torch to cut off the exhaust and fitted a complete new exhaust system by the lifting process. Success!

Everyone tells me to fix the holes and paint my 75 Fury.......or at least clean the mold off the body. I'm like.....no. if I do that, no one will ever believe she sat 21 years in someone's yard. My car tells a story when you see it. I love the dirt and rust (patina) lol. You expect to see nice shiny cars on the road, not piles of junk. Lol. I like seeing cars pass by that makes me think "how's that thing moving?" LOL. I truly believe there's lots of "will it run" cars around here on the road. I did the same thing with my 76 Lincoln continental. The guy that bought it (Suicide Steve) HAD to have won a derby with that. Biggest tank of a car I ever had.

SIX ENGINES later, no telling how many sets of tires, oil changes...a drunk hit him, totalled the old car...that was 2015...he owned it for 32-years, and by his best-guess, it had around 2-million miles on it. He admitted, he always hated the car, but it was an 'undying cockroach' that drove well, rode well, didn't stand out, being a 4-door, no one wanted to steal it...it was like 'a granny's car'...that worked. He's tried for several years to find another body to 'have it back again', but there just aren't that many out there that don't need a 'total rebuild' to even put on the road again.
