Austin's back and gets some more work done on his Buick!

In this video Austin's back out working on his Buick. First we do a little engine work and progress to getting his engine to fire up for the first time. We then move on the to the rear and get him to pull the rear diff and we mock up a universal 4 link and install a 4x4 S10 diff.

Austin is a very lucky young man to have you as his grandfather. Thanks for keeping another old car on the road.

[@jayinmi3706]

Ah-ha! I always wondered how they were related! lol

[@barryrollins2728]

Watching you have a small segment of moving things around the shop seemed great as to the old shop! It gives you much more freedom and comfort to work. You helping and teach two young men says a lot about you to help in their future! "Great"

[@SPUDHOME]

Really glad to see you and Austin working together that way.

[@davidhatch2558]

Good to see Austin working on his car. Your an awesome grandfather. Keep up the great work Brent 😊

[@glennnickerson8438]

Enjoy the slippery slope known as the car hobby Austin! Sweet ride!😎

Amen! Lol

[@tedhewitt4299]

I like that you are teaching your grandsons how to work on cars.

[@jimbojones101]

Top man, Brent, with a heart of gold and a font of knowledge to boot. My favourite channel on YT by far. 😊

[@ronaldhackett7979]

Brent your Shop looks Amazing ! You’ve got things in Great Shape! Let the good times roll! 🔥🚗📹❤️💯

[@peterpann9619]

That Buick is a thing of beauty.

[@terrencebuller7676]

Really cool watching you and Austin working together. Austin will be the envy of his school mates with that car. Take care and wish you all the best. 👍👍

[@motorfreaknew]

I can't imagine how I would have felt if at Austin's age I could have had and driven a car like that.... I think I would have walked three feet off the floor! Beautiful! I'm happy that the work is progressing! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@terrymott8581]

In 79 I bought a 66 Chevelle my Dad helped me do a tune up and time it. One of my fondest memories. These are the times Austin will never forget.

[@johnblake3863]

I'm really glad for Austin that he has such an amazing opportunity. A great learning experience and not just about vehicles.

[@evanhofmeyr-tg1gl]

What a great car.The 50's was a fantastic era for cars.

[@clevelandmaker386]

Austin is sooo lucky....my I never knew my grandparents..... And I love old cars...never had anyone to hand me down anything Never had anyone to teach me how to drive either.... Hope he appreciates this time

[@pdrphil8159]

Austin is a handsome young man... He will always remember hangin with grandpa building the Buick.. Some of my best memories was working with my dad on old cars, trucks & tractors.. He's 85 & his eyes are bad ... But he'd still be up for some shop work if I asked him. Lol

[@MastaT_150]

That gonna be one sweet ride! Wish I had something like that at his age… Heck I’d like to have it at my age! 🤪

[@larrymarkee8277]

This video is rated “GS GD” (Grandson & Granddad). Contains intense heartwarming moments along with life lasting memories. Good on you Brent.

[@fonhollohan2908]

That forklift has become a excellent aid in the shop. You're makin great progress with Austin's Buick. And we'll catch you on the next on Brent. cheers

[@JuanFuentes-hi7lk]

[@leecornelius1424]

[@skeets6060]

Wish I had a grandfather that loved doing things with me,, you are a lucky boy

[@larrydixon-vi7ld]

I remember well , my dad owned a 58 Buick 2dr Hardtop, SMOOTHEST ride I ever had

[@bobrussell6663]

Ahhh! Great Piano Bar Music! Thank you.

[@williamchildress1459]

I really like the way the Buick is sitting.

[@larrydeforrest5744]

High Five Brent, you are teaching your grandsons how to problem solve, create ,and make things work. Those days with gramp's in the garage will always be rememberd. Nice Work

[@richardhaywood4123]

Love seeing the old Buick coming back to life and teaching your knowledge to the younger generation as they are the future of the hot rodding/classic car movement. Can't wait to see it drive.

[@craigbowley6783]

It's so awesome that you're willing to show your grandkids how to do all of this stuff. I hope they know how lucky they are. Not all Grandpa's do that. Plus the time you get to spend with each other is priceless 👌

[@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS]

Been watching ya on the big screen lately so maybe not commented as much cuz it sucks to type on my little wireless keyboard, lol... switching over to watch this one now QUICK!

[@andrewharrison8782]

Been doing the same, find it impossible to comment on TV screen

[@justingould7348]

I like when your green arrow is lit up! ↪️😬

[@KiwiStag74]

Man, that was good to hear the old girl fire up, Brent. As you say, she's one step (well, a couple now) closer to being able to move under her own power again......and I bet Austin can't wait! Speaking of the young fella - he's certainly getting more confident with the tools and around the workshop in general.....and that's great to see. It's a lot to learn with a steep curve on the learning process, but if he can walk (drive?) away with the rudiments and a basic know-how of what makes the car do what it does and keeps up the interest factor, he'll have a lifetime hobby that will keep him entertained until he's older than either you or me.....and it will always be something that he can enjoy the fruits of all his hard work as well. Keep going, Austin. You're doing fine, buddy - no matter what you may think of your efforts right now. Practice and experience will give you the speed and knowledge that Brent has....and I'm sure the "old fella" would be happy to offer advice if you are ever stuck. Just relax, go with the flow and never be scared to ask questions or put forward ideas. Brent will be able to tell you if they are possible or explain why they aren't and maybe you can come up with something else together. The Buick will be one mean cruiser when she's finished and that engine sounds strong.....so be glad there's a diff out of a 4x4 going into the beast, buddy! All the best.

[@billyhaddock5540]

Brent, it is good that u are teaching Austin how to work on cars. His Buick will look good when finished. Cool Pablo taken a Boot at the end..

[@marca5883]

He's going to have a beauty of a motor when this is finished💚🇬🇧🌱 Very jealous 👌

[@dennisjones1642]

Hey Hi again Halfass Costoms Brent and Ester, Austin great job on Buick you're going to be on the Road🎉👍🤩✌️

[@MrMadkaw400]

That’s so cool that you can work and help your grandsons like you do

[@e3repair959]

Thanks to you and Austin for sharing that cool moment between grandfather and grandson!!!! How awesome 👌

[@caseyjones7552]

Nice work, with both the car and that young man. It's great seeing another young man get into the hobby. Austin seems to really want to learn, that's getting to be a rare thing now days.

[@kentmckean6795]

Coming along nicely!

[@brendagaunce8757]

Glad for the update Fun with Family when you make work look like fun.

[@retiredbutnotdead9929]

The old Buick growled a bit. It is always wonderful to see a generational span working together.grandfather to grandson.

[@pappete9988]

That was a moment of inspiration when Austin felt tdc for the timing his face said it all, since he started on the buick he seems to have grown the leg length to fit the seating position. Great project

[@justinbrenner3008]

I’m a car guy with 3 young kids who are all starting to show basic Interest in cars ! Way to keep the car hobby alive

[@scottwatts418]

It's great u spend shop time with both your grandchildren..keep making memories

[@whittlerdave1440]

This car is going to be nice Austin is learning a lot life skills he is so lucky to have somebody that will teach him you are totally awesome I enjoy watching everything you build

[@professorfalken4600]

Good to see y’all, happy Saturday

[@terryeustice5399]

Austin’s 1955 Buick. Is alive. Congratulations on the start. Brent, the care you have taken on this project is wonderful. I know he’s stoked. God Bless. ✝️💯👍👊

[@PAUL-1961.]

wow you must like your new fork toy ,AWSOME

[@user-fk1oe8de5e]

Like The Austin build . That a nice buick . The wheels like nice . Even it old love the color the green .

[@kirkoglesby6175]

Austin is going to have one serious lead sled! Got to love the 50's.

[@JayCee-yy6oc]

Forklift in the shop for the WIN!

[@FYMASMD]

That little lift is irreplaceable now isn’t it. What a year eh!!’😎👍

[@franksgarage8551]

Yup, Austin is getting oppurtunitues that not many his age (or mine) get. Hands on 4 bar fabrication. Cool! And nice that engine fired!

[@dustindavis4502]

I would have killed to work on my grandfather's Buick with him before he got sick. I love all your videos, but seeing you teach the grandkids is awesome!

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent video Brent :) , Austin :) worked together on his Buick car and nice job guys also super 👌 👍!

[@billterry9996]

the look on Austin"s face when the motor fired uo is priceless

[@CJLeTeff]

I think the new shop is Trent’s times more efficient to work in than the old one. 👍👍🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@robertbennett9243]

Well... Cool. Looks like Austin is getting knowledge on a little bit of everything. Kudos to you for teaching him. Car is coming along nice.

[@ronbunker5778]

Its always exciting when you do a first start especially on your first car!

[@user-jh6hz9yn7k]

There’s nothing like a old Buick I’ve had to never had to do much to them feed um regular maintenance sure miss my 67 Buick Electra 430 4 barrel those were good old days

[@willie6466]

I remember being the kid with an old car and having an experienced gearhead helping me put it together. Looking back now, I appreciate the patience you have in showing him how to do this stuff. I was just like him, not knowing what I was doing, but I can see how I could have been better at anticipating the next step to help the job go smoothly. Kudos to you for passing it on to the younger generation. He may not realize it yet but he's getting a valuable education and will appreciate it as time goes by.

[@danieldyke1074]

It's priceless to work with and teach grandkids!

[@BHEGER1]

I sure hope those grandkids know how lucky they are to have a grandpa to hang out and help them with their old cars. My grand parents On both sides where gone by the time I was six.

[@RonnieLeslie-cj1yj]

It's a mental check list every time. Good to see y'all working together. Ronnie.

[@blackbuttecruizr]

You are so great working with Austin and Ryder! Passing what you know down to them, and showing them how we sow into the generation coming up.

[@richardhill4862]

Austin has a cool Buick that is starting to come together. I loved seeing her come back to life.

[@mickhaight4159]

It sure is nice to see the young man that Austin is turning into

[@pamdunn8454]

hope this is helpful for you and the young man , when you install the carb "put all the bolts in and open the throttle all the way and sung a couple to make sure that the butterfly's don't stick - next when you installed the distributor when after a few turn and drops you were 180 degrees away "you could have pulled out and turned the rotor" , and finally: when the dist is in and pointed to #1 put a spark plug in the #1 wire and ground it to the engine turn on the ignition power and turn the dist slowly back and forth , until the spark plug fires "snug the dist down just before spark" and the engine will start right up .... having fun is the most important part of the project your a lucky young man

[@daleking8529]

That's quality time right there!! Take care

[@rodjames2]

It's good to see a young man interested in old cars! Who needs video games when you cab build cool stuff like his Buick. Looking forward to seeing as well as your custom truck on the road!

[@SchysCraftCo.]

It’s coming along nicely so far

[@glenharper3136]

Thanks for the video Brent. You have a lot of cool old cars in there.

[@peterandersen1378]

That pile of rust that Austin swept from beneath the Buick is far smaller than the multiple piles of rust I’ve swept from beneath a vintage VW Beetle - those cars shed rust like a dog sheds his winter fur coat in the spring. Ah the joys of working on unibody cars. Pablo ~ Careful Austin, don’t sweep up any of my dawg treats.🥶🇨🇦🤪

[@johnbiernot6730]

It sure is nice seeing you enjoying your new shop

[@lorenmeyer5290]

Austin car is getting closer! Enjoy watching and listening to you Brent!

[@richardsutliffe1793]

I like the idea of converting it to a 2-door. A couple of ways to do that. Move the B pillar back and find a couple of doors from a 2-door donor car or lengthen the existing doors with material from the back doors. You know both ways. Fun and semi-easy project for you both. It will improve the look of the car...especially for a guy Austin's age who will drive it to school.

[@chrismurray3390]

2 doors and a set of mini tubs. No wheel spacers needed than.

[@65cj55]

Totally unnecessary and just more work, it looks all original now.

[@johnds6621]

I hope Austin appreciates all the help you give him with that car. I really like seeing you work in your new garage it's really working out for you. The nice lifts and the smooth floor so you can roll cars around easy. Wish I had one like that.

[@harrytaylor6854]

Good one sir Brent you do have room in this shop.Great to see Austin back at the Buick and she runs cool Hope you get the diff in there with what to have .Well done guy's thank you for sharing

[@georgeponnay447]

Great seeing you and Austin at it!

Very good Start Aston I can’t wait for the car driving on it’s own

[@markbrown6236]

Good to see Austin gaining knowledge, getting his car closer to running, and more comfortable with the camera.

[@RandyH-qf3dc]

Awesome seeing you and Austin bringing the old Buick back to life. Gotta teach wrenching on your own rig to youngsters so this craft doesn't die out. My favorite youtube channel. Thanks Brent!

[@mrbill8542]

Can't wait to see what you will do to that t-bird--Great classic !!!!

[@TT-qo9dv]

I’m happy you built such a nice shop for yourself 😊 I have enjoyed your channel for a long time. Thanks for the entertainment and the knowledge you share.

[@blueeyz2046]

Love how you worked T bird under lift and pulled down the scissors lift!

[@ryandonato8563]

Easiest way to install distributor is to get it lined up and meshed in the cam then hold down on it and bump the starter she will drop right in then find top dead again and make sure it's correct

[@briankinnear7461]

The look on Austin's face when it started says it all. He's very lucky to have you as a mentor. Look forward to seeing more on the old Buick. Be safe and stay well.

[@marcbordelon218]

Your warmth and humanity shine out. Keep up the good work!

This car is the 4 door twin to my 2dr sedan. I went with a nascar truck arm suspension in the rear because the angles were just wonky with a 4 bar setup. Love this build!

[@dayslife]

keep it up Brent , great way to keep the young generation at foot, learning to be car smart and exercising their muscles and brain building their own big toys ... 👍🏼✔

[@robinbryde3038]

Good work, Austin....you have a runner!! Brent,those lift tables and fork lift are proving invaluable.Mint😎👍

[@jjock3239]

Great to see you and Austin getting the engine fired up Your teaching Austin, puts him many steps of the average student, because you are giving him the one skill that most younger people don't get a chance to learn, and that is that any part, from any other vehicle, can be made to work like the car was designed for that setup.

[@Chevypowered5766]

It’s nice that you and Austin can work on his car together, what a learning experience for him and a great bonding time for the both of you. And you made some great progress on the car, first time firing it up and the better diff and setup for the back, great job the two of you. Later
