So... yeah... this is why there hasn't been an upload in three months. This trip and video project has taken a solid six months of work and it isn't over yet, I'm hoping to have the rest of this road trip content finished and uploaded by the end of January. The intro and some other aspects *cough*the length*cough* are a bit self-indulgent, I admit, but I felt that encompassing the entirety of this wild, stupid adventure was important to the story I wanted to tell about it. I had planned to make it just one long video but it became unfeasible as there is so much to cover and many of you praise our videos for being detailed so... this is your punishment I suppose. A huge thank you to everyone for patiently waiting for the next upload, and especially to our Patreons who stuck around (for some reason) through essentially a social media blackout. I thought this would be a fun, silly surprise and I hope that you find it to be exactly that! Happy 2022 everyone, here's hoping that we have a great year ahead of us! -Mike

I grew up in Vegas in the 60s and 70s. In the late 70s after getting my drivers license, my friends and I would pool hop at the casinos and pick up tourist girls. Have a .99¢ prime rib buffet, cruise and swim some more, cruise Freemont street, hit another .99¢ buffet or go to the top of the Mint Casino to the restaurant at the top and have the "monster" burger for you guessed it....99¢. It was the size of a pizza and they cut it in giant pound size slices. One burger fed 4 hungry teenagers. I know vegas was run by the mob in those days but it was a wonderful magical place to grow up.

This is awesome! I love doing this kind of stuff! I bought a 1963 Corvair Monza off a guy in South Dakota on Craigslist, flew up from Florida and drove it all the way back. I also bought a 1965 Thunderbird near Dayton Ohio sight unseen and drove that back to Florida. The Corvair had a cherry bomb exhaust, and it was so loud, by the time I made it home my hearing was muffled for a few days after. The only real problem I had with the car was the generator completely came apart when I was about 2 miles from home. The Thunderbird was a mess when I arrived. I rebuilt the carburetor and brake booster inside of a motel room before setting off. I used electrical tape to repair the torn diaphragm of the booster. That repair lasted the entire trip until I finally replaced the booster months later. The gas gauge didn't work, so I did end up running out of gas in the mountains of Kentucky at about 2am. I had to call the highway patrol to get them to pick me up and buy a small jerry can with gas. I also had a hubcap fly off while driving through a small town that same night. I scoured the lawns of each house until I found it nestled in a small bush. What an adventure!!! I'm so glad you filmed yours! Wish I would've. Thank you so much for sharing!!!

Subscribed just so I wouldn't miss the next episode on the pinto. My dad had a couple of these he used to commute to work. The floors rusted out and we could see the road through them as we drove. On one of them the horn would start beeping by itself at night when it got cold outside. The neighbors got mad at him and he wound up putting a worklight next to the horn with a 100 watt light bulb in it. Lots of memories.

I just came across this series yesterday, and I am loving it. My dad had a succession of pintos over the years, and my first car was a pinto we bought from a friend of my sister's that didnt run, for $100. A '76 blue, manual with the 2300 4cylinder. We got a remanufactured long block, and swapped the engines, and I drove that for several years, until I sold it to my girlfriend, as her first car, and her first manual. I don't know if the car had anything to do with it, but we have been married for 32 years.

I enjoyed this series because way back in 1980 I did an engine swap of similar proportions. I had 1974 Dodge Colt with a blown engine, and a friend and I spent many months trying to fit a Chev 350 engine into it. There were many challenges, and I did not have the apparent unlimited budget that you guys seemed to have. Overheating was also an issue on my car, but eventually I solved it by removing the hood. Handling was awful, but it went like blazes in a straight line! It was also a great conversation-starter, and that was probably the most enjoyable aspect of the car. Othewise, it was pretty unreliable, and definitely an amateurish swap, but it was fun for me as a 19-yr-old. Cheers guys!

If I had a nickle for every small block V8 swapped Pinto I've ever seen, I'd have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice. My grandfather bought a '78(?) Pinto wagon a few years ago with basically the same setup, albeit done probably sometime in the late 90's or early 00's according to the PO. It's even a similar red/maroon color. It has a similar sized radiator, but the mounting point is raised considerably higher than yours to deal with the same overheating issue you dealt with. As a result, it has a pseudo hood scoop that sounds as ugly as it looks. He also kept the clutch-driven fan IIRC which absolutely helps. The battery is also crammed into the passenger side firewall area with a custom mount that covers up the hole needed for the passenger side exhaust. I can provide reference pics if needed, but seeing that the majority of this was filmed 6 months ago, I'm not sure how much good that will do. Also, R.I.P. Cryobi impact gun that chooched her last. And formerly frozen gas station taquitos. You will be missed.

My first car was a 70 pinto. I bought it in 1983 for $45.00. Towed it home with a bumper hich attached in place of the front bumper. It only ran on 3 cylinders, had slung a rod on #3. I rebuilt the 2.0 engine with a JC Whitney rebuild kit and a crank, piston and rod from a junk yard. I had about $300.00 in the car. I drove it in high school and sold it for $800.00 3 years later. I drove that car from east coast to west coast and back one summer. Put a brick on the accelerator pedal for cruise control. All that without a cell phone. It was spray painted flat black, inside and out. I miss that car.

Praises! Another upload, and other the new format for awesome YT creators! (Buy a car and drive home!) 2022 is AWESOME so far!

That's awesome. I live only miles from that part of town. In fact that's my favorite tire shop. I can't believe you did that during the middle of summer.

A 4000 RPM stall torque converter and 4.56 gears make for a perfect highway car on a long road trip. No heat or a/c make it even better.

I’m glad that you are back. I was checking the channel and was looking for a new video. This is worth the wait.

Wonderful adventure! Funny as usual. And thanks to add Celsius temp conversion for us folks outside the USA! Can’t wait for the other parts!

I like this style of video. Been watching vice grip garage alot and junkyard digs. Not sure why but revival style videos have been my interest lately
