AWESOME!!! That's a cool car and the kid that brought you the model painted like it is cool as heck.

[@coyotehater]

At a recent cars & coffee, I noticed someone taking pictures of my truck & that made me feel pretty good. Watching a young man bring a model of your car to you choked me up. They are the future of the classic car hobby, & seeing how you inspired a future gear head makes me want to get back into the garage & get something done. Well done sir, well done!

[@2LabsGarage]

As a fellow automotive You-tuber, I cannot imagine getting a gift like that. I know that made you melt and I couldn't be happier for you. Love the Plymouth too.

[@scottgm321]

Hats off to the young man that gave you the model and inspiration. What a great video. I had chills, goosebumps, tears everything. I’d like to see you push this series to the end with all the stuff you want to do to complete it.

To the young man that gave Dylan that toy car, that was awesome man. And to you Dylan, I'm glad you found the muse that you nearly lost, to complete the Plymouth. And I gotta say, the old girl sounds rowdy as all get out, just beautiful man.

[@chox2001]

Please remember. We are all here because what you do helps us by learning and also because you do this stuff it helps us to go do more stuff. I have a car that’s been sitting 10 months. It’s because of you I have driven it every day this week. Thank you for taking the time to upload your videos for us 🙏

[@astravanmk2]

This is absolutely the coolest build on KZbin bar none. All credit to you for sticking with it.

[@robertvance1873]

Absolutely Love the Exhaust 👍👍👍👍👍

[@imkwuzn]

Dylan, one of the reasons I enjoy your content so much is because you are real. You make mistakes, get frustrated, forget to tie the battery down, etc. It’s human nature to want to walk away sometimes, especially when you are exhausted and up against a deadline you realize cannot be met. The most important thing is that you know when to take a break, walk away, calm down and then come back with a clear head and forge on. We are often our own worst enemy but having a strong support system, family, friends and faith is what makes all the difference at the end of the day. Congratulations on getting through it and finishing strong! Looking forward to future content as always. God bless.

[@gregdiamond6023]

Just goes to show. Sometimes you have to walk away from a project and come back to it later. I’m really happy for you Dylan.

I'm not a person who comments very often so with that being said. I became a subscriber a couple of years ago and have always enjoyed your content. When I say the look in your eyes the first time you rapped on the car a little that look was priceless. Dylan you are a good person and I so much enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.

Your videos have become the best classic car videos because you show yourself actually doing some of the work. Other guys stopped that and arent as interesting as they once were

Never thought the old Plymouth's were that great , you made me a believer . Pretty COOL ! Really like how the late model stuff goes right in and that you do your own work ,on a regular guys budget. Keep up the good work and videos!!

Another great success!!! Man never give up and always move forward 🤘

[@xbear7473]

[@jcl75]

The young man that gave the toy car, he is a friend/schoolmate of my friends oldest son. He actually sent me clips of this, but told me I had to wait to see your video for all of it. He said you were/are a true gentleman with everyone around, genuine. It's people like you, taking time for everyone, and inspiring everyone, that helps keep the automotive world alive. We've all been at that point of giving up, and actually have given up. God knew you needed that young man, at that exact moment. The appreciation we have for your transparency, your drive, your creations, but most of all, your true to self, true to life reality. That's what keeps us here. You say thank you to us, we say thank you, as well, to you.

[@brettboggs8800]

When you become such a public figure, Dylan, you automatically become a role model for many. Always remember the influence you have on others. The character and integrity you display can be a positive example for others.

Thank you sir for not giving up on the Fury. I don't care how long it takes to get her how you want her. The journey is the fun part, not the destination.

[@marcusaurelius2770]

Dylan. Please give a shout into to your Dad. At time stamp19:33 your Dad said "turn up the radio", in reference to the drive shaft noise. I immediately thought of a friend who passed away 20 years ago. He was a die hard Mopar guy. He drag raced a 64 Polara in the nostalgia class at several local drag straps. When ever I was having issues working on my 67 Mustang and complained about a noise I couldn't figure out, he would say "turn up the radio". Thanks for the memory.

[@donmears4090]

That car is such a trip down memory lane for me, My first car was a 1959 Plymouth Suburban station wagon (Not a GM Suburban, you know the real Mopar Suburban). It had a 318 two bbl, three on the tree, no power steering and no power brakes or as my Dad used to say "No power steering and no power brakes, it's got power to the rear wheels"! Don't worry about Mrs. McC only giving it a six out of ten you'll know it has her approval when she races you to the car so she can drive it.

[@mrt7152]

Nice :-) what a cool dad you have so supportive of your cause. Really nice guy. Happy that she drives!

[@DragonsFireMetalWorx]

It was a project car we worked on together when he was 16 years old. I’m now 74 and he’s 54. We still wrench on cars together and watch your Chanel, thanks for the memories!

I know what you mean about wanting to give up, I bought a car about 15 yrs ago with every intention of putting it back on the road. It was exactly what I was looking for, a ‘79 Olds Cutlass Calais 4spd and fairly rare. But life had other ideas, heart attack and a incurable lung disease but I REFUSE to let it go until it sees the road again in my hands. Keep pushing !!

She sounds absolutely awesome! Hey Brotha. You are human. Don’t be so hard on yourself. I know we have all been there, without all the things you were dealing with. Here you had a tight deadline. Trying to film everything and trying to tackle so many issues. Your humble and that and for that I give you tons of respect! I could easily see someone who has a popular KZbin channel with all the subscribers you have, could be cocky arrogant and make up excuses. But that’s not you. You’re honest you’re humble and you’re human I think that’s why you have so many people that love your channel. Keep up the good work bud. I love your show!

[@Willian_Boa_Tarde]

This video is so wholesome! You telling the downsides of the project, getting the kid's gift, getting excited about it driving for the first time, showing the car to your dad and taking your girl to s ride. Those things bring us such a joy! Thank you for making this content and God bless!

[@GeneralCuster14]

So glad to see the old girl finally hit the road! I definitely know the feeling of losing motivation to work on a project due to persistent problems and time crunches. So happy about the youngster at the car show helping motivate you to keep the project going! Undoubtedly my favorite build you've done so far Dylan, and by far one of the most intensive. Keep up the awesome work!

[@garyboswell6739]

Two things made me watch this 1958 Plymouth Savoy roadsteration. The first reason is because I stumbled across your video on the 1951 shoebox Ford. Loved that video! That started me watching more of your videos. The second reason is because I was born in 1958 and wasn't familiar with the 1958 Plymouth. Anyway, love your wholesome and clean videos and your perseverance in finishing the Plymouth project. Thanks for your hard work and excellent videos.

[@brunoduel]

A beautiful car ! These 57/58 Plymouths are beautiful!

[@cobbleup]

Back through the 60s and 70s uncle Herb always drove late 40s Dodge and Plymouth 4door sedans. Us nephews thought he was weird but as the years passed I grew to realize that uncle Herb had it figured out. He had cars that anyone could pick up in good condition for $50 - $75.00, they were easy and cheap to fix and tough as nails. I’d love to have one of his old Dodges as a daily driver today. On year he really went all out and bought aunt Margaret a 57/58 Plymouth that she roller painted with some free house paint and used as her daily driver for many years to come. The torsion bar suspensions in those later years was a huge upgrade. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.👍👍👍

This car has my attention because my first car was a 57 Belvedere. The challenges you are encountering are basically the same challenges I encountered years ago.
