California Dreaming: The 1965 Corvette Hidden Gem Returns Part 2

[@richroeder2541]

To hear Alice saying it needs a four speed was the best! You guys making sure she got to see the car again was a total class act. Keep putting out the great content. You guys ROCK! Hopefully we get to see more of the Vette

[@HHWheels]

Absolutely!!

[@erichadair3244]

She mentioned a quarter mile run as well. Well done folks.

[@jnb756]

Taking Alice for a ride was such a class move - kudos for being such great people!

[@olafk2297]

The C2 is the most beautyfull Corvette, in my opinion.

[@bernardowens1648]

This was the BEST vlog you guys have ever put out!!! Loved the ending with the late owners wife!! You gave her so much joy!!! Bless you two!!

[@sethcormier8134]

What a sweet woman, you can tell she greatly appreciated getting to go for a ride in the corvette and honoring his memory. Great job guys!

[@jaywright3112]

Caroline is an amazing and talented young woman, I'm glad she's there to work with you. You guys do an amazing job on everything you work on. Keep up the amazing job on your projects

[@Harko-]

The missing tools were a major bummer, but despite that another amazing episode! It baffles me how you two manage to make such a high quality video each week. Awesome channel! 😎

[@AlvinBrinson]

UPS and FedEx have the attitude that they owe you absolutely nothing as a customer. You should be happy if your stuff gets there and shut the hell up if it doesn't. Absolutely no shame and no sense of responsibility.

[@ken2tou]

Yeh. Pretty crappy service. I’d insure the next shipment.

[@wonkydonkey7899]

I’ve heard bad news about UPS and FedEx stealing expensive shipments. There’s a possibility a package handler or driver saw what’s inside the package. Next time have your expensive package insured so you could at least get a reimbursement if it gets lost.

[@geebopbaluba1591]

One thing you need to keep in mind with the car is thieves and car jackers that want it more than you! It’s a high value car and will definitely get attention.

[@evilutionltd]

In most countries I'd recommend LoJack. In America I'd recommend open carry.

[@lancebrantlinger-tommy3558]

So awesome to see John’s wife there at the end smiling and getting to ride in something that her husband treasured. Loved it! Great job to the both of you!!

[@HHWheels]

Couldn't agree more!

[@cosmoslogic9088]

You guys are about as awesome as human beings can be there are no words to express how much you enrich what can be done with the proper spirit for the automotive world Rock on guys.

[@BudFranks-fu9ye]

Beautiful. Outstanding job guys 👍💯

[@stuartmillsom3509]

Well done for saving the car. And finding the pin for the brakes. Can't wait to see what I guys do with it ❤❤

[@geipelstoys9923]

You guys absolutely knocked it out of the park! And the icing on the cake was seeing Alice so happy going for one more ride in it! Loved it!

[@robfreer-f8q]

It is great to see the relationship between you two . Wish my kids were closer .

[@Supafly88]

I just had almost the same thing happen to me!! I've had 2 different orders disappear from the Memphis UPS hub in the last week!! UPS sucks!

[@PongbyAtari]

Great project I love these old Vettes 😊

[@richardsmith-qy6vl]

Caroline is 1 in a million any guy she meets better be into cars im sure your proud of her my first wife worked with me in my body shop. She just wanted to do what ever it took to be by me i didnt relize how lucky i was. Great car id love to repaint it like it was to match the top.

[@fernandoguillen900]

Caroline and Dad...so special mision that you have by this life; rebuild the other people destroyed...😥, and dreams back again; Saludos. P.D. just need more noice this grandmom vette ✌️🙂👍

[@matthewcox1122]

❤❤❤❤❤love that you're riding with John and keeping his vision alive for his family 🙏

[@VWJawbreaker]

Seeing Alice start to tear up brought tears to my eyes. What a story and awesome rescue.

[@HHWheels]

Thx man!

[@In_memory_of_Dad]

This is definitely one of the absolute best videos you guys have ever done. And wow what a transformation with the car. Unfortunately we don't get cool cars like that here in England. Best video ever, you guys are truly amazing and this is definitely my favourite youtube channel.....

[@boomerbassmeme]

So Cool and so happy for you! Glad Alice got to take a ride in it! 😊🙏🙏 Oh! Ian and Jamie Roussell gave you a shout out as one of their favorite channels about a week ago! So glad they like it too! Have followed Ian since he had hair! 🤣🤣

[@jayjones9050]

19:41 lookin like theres a chill in the air. You can cut glass with those, yummmmmie

[@armandopatane5343]

JAMES IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT PUT ENOUGH JEWELRY ON A CAR AND THE THE LIGHT OF POTENTIAL SHINES THROUGH

[@erniehoffer1784]

Great video. Most KZbin channels forget to paint their cars. Look really nice.

[@HHWheels]

Wow, thanks!

[@rockyfbenedetto2029]

Caroline I just got my new get wrenching t-shirt and I absolutely love that you took the time to send a card along with it I love ur videos and channels and will be forever following you and dad ur friend Rocky from Massachusetts

[@jonathanshaw-nb7hj]

Gods work on the breaks The signs on the floor 🤣😁😂🤣😂🤣😂😆

[@tedholden3528]

I had a "Major Mishap" with UPS once, along with a stack of lies. Ever since, i pronounce and refer to them as OOOOPPS.

[@SCOTTSEXPLODINGGUITAR-wc9to]

When the video first started i wanted the car grey primered at least and suprise you primered it blue awesome

[@elliottloomis4383]

So cool hearing the story behind the car and her former owners. Yall are awesome! Keep up the great work!

[@donmarsh1599]

So very Cool! I rescued this 67 F100 from the field after almost 20 years. It’s so much fun getting them back on the road!

[@HHWheels]

It is always a great feeling!

[@donmarsh1599]

@@HHWheels Absolutely!

[@sprocketman927]

These HHWHeels videos are television quality. Amazing job guys!

[@HHWheels]

Thank you so much!

[@davidetchellsetchells4692]

As any good surfboard or boat builder will tell you,,, never use bonds on a corvette! Or any fiberglass. Use gelcoat and fiberglass matting to correct lowspots, wear a lev 3 respirator and full body coverage suit ( paint suit or hazmat) and carefully mix and apply your gel coat letting it flow out like paint, then sand after curing. Repeat untill the desired smoothness is achieved. This Corvette is a historical piece, please do not use bonds on it!

[@SammyKurts-ku2ht]

Love your channel and content ! Real wrenching on old stuff I love it !! Huge love from Baltimore Maryland !(edgemere)

[@Victorm.Robinson]

Antifreeze full strength 80% to 20 %drinking water will be best ❤😂😂🎉🎉🎉

[@davidetchellsetchells4692]

On topic of that $800 master cylinder, as a rule I've found that rebuilding the master cyl is your best bet, getcha a brake cyl hone, and a rebuild kit ( new rubber plungers n washers, can o brakekleen, dismount the master, clamp it in the vice very carefully and disassemble, clean, hone, clean, and reassemble with internal parts lubed up with brake fluid. Right? It's how I've done it for 50 years, I've found that many vintage parts are superior to modern parts as far as the quality of castings, robust builds, and because it's origional it fits like it should. Having an assortment of brake cyl hones will save you tons of money, and save vintage castings from being erased from existence. For example, the brake cyls on my 1964 mercury marauder are made by Lockheed! As far as I know , that's an aerospace technology company even back then, the parts had extensive design time put into it, millions of dollars in development, and back then we had " real engineers and machinists" made in USA actually meant something, it meant " the highest quality in the world".

[@LouisCapps-p3z]

Same here. Back in the early days wheel cylinders, master cylinders, starters, carbs were rebuilt as a first option. My auto schooling taught us this way. Now it's a lost art.

[@michaelpeterson9479]

I can feel the excitement for you both, Im in the same, anticipation is getting me, im working on a 69 corvette sportwagon, 427, 4spd, Just ordered the gas tank yesterday, with it installed, it should idle on its own, after 20 plus years of sitting outside at a Plymouth dealership, Awesome find!!!

[@HHWheels]

Nice! #getwrenchin

[@danielfoster2339]

Great job guys!! Love the channel, much respect 🎉🎉

[@winemillerbrian]

That rear end is gorgeous

[@ajaks7636]

Great Revival! Can I suggest mechanics gloves, when you can use them. Boo UPS, an epic fail, that facility needs correct oversight. Great Video! Thank you.

[@coreysweigart4290]

Such a great find! It was a nice surprise to see you guys at Power tour! Sorry to hear about your tools!

[@HHWheels]

Oh well, sh*t happens! So happy we got to see you!!!!! See ya next year 👍👍👍

[@matta5534]

That is one sexy machine! And what an awesome story! Yall are awesome folks & I Love the channel! ✌️from Ohio

[@freddymardiceii3273]

Everything you guys touch turns to gold and you never cease to amaze!! Great job guys and this is why I think so highly of you guys and consider myself blessed to call you friends! Love you guys!! 🤘😊 make it legendary always 😊 I'm so sorry about the UPS drama 😢

[@benjaminkadron]

This is great! Another great find and experience. Love the blue and the flares!

[@larshansen8962]

Amazing . That coulor and white top....

[@patrickbrennan2346]

Great video !! Really enjoy everything about you 2, your goals the work the corniness & the fact your a dad & daughter team. That’s the icing on the cake. Keep up the great work !!

[@draggerlane04090]

The first video I said I would pass cause the car wasn't collector worthy. Which it isn't. But you open my eyes that it isn't about originality. It's the story and the Journey also what's to come. Amazing car and amazing story that goes with it. Just wow

[@burbt6069]

Great video guys. It was so good to see you make the extra effort to get the car in one colour and showing it to Alice before you look it home. I love this channel. Please keep us in the loop on what’s next for the Corvette. Thanks.

[@brandons72vette]

This was really cool getting to watch. I grew up in my Dad’s chrome bumper Vettes, including a 65 coupe which had those same side pipes. I have a 55,70,72 vette; all are projects, as well as a 70 Mustang. It’s inspiring to see it sit and then transition rather quickly to a driving car. It really makes me want to get back out to my stalled projects.

[@HHWheels]

Thanks so much! It’s always satisfying seeing them come back to life.

[@jesusbadger2145]

27:43, beautiful sight.

[@lonnieblackwell9215]

This was a very good video. I love the way you and Caroline work together. It also reminds me on my old 66 coupe that I had years ago. I have a couple of C5's and a C4 that I fool around with. Keep up the great work.

[@broosbetonboringen]

Nice project ❤

[@georges4562]

Great video ! Looks great 👍👍👍👍👍

[@kdog622]

The Corvette looks terrific! What's better, though, was watching you drive around my old stomping grounds. I worked and lived on Mare Island in the Navy back in the seventies and eighties on nuke subs. Thanks for the memories! You guys are great!

[@JerryJones-xo9gw]

This was great! Love your channel, and the memories you two are sharing is priceless. Keep up the great work!

[@HHWheels]

Thank you! Will do!

[@aaronschinlaub9704]

I love I love you guys and KZbin videos I stumbled upon them just recently and I love watching you please do not give up and keep going like you are you're giving people so much motivation these are the type of videos people need to see❤

[@ken2tou]

Nice save! That’s a bucket list car for sure! You nailed the color! Even though, just the primer, I can’t wait to see what you do next to this beautiful driver!

[@HHWheels]

You and me both!

[@williammccabe3767]

UPS and Australia Post are definitely related, we just ordered three items from Summit, they all arrived in Australia via UPS, then one item was sent back, and two still held in Botany, Australia, all without a single contact to us

Mid to late 60s era cars were the best across the brands...hands down. They all looked awesome

HI I really enjoy your videos and i finally seen a new post thanx Scott

[@glennbailey9165]

This is the first episode I watched. I liked and subscribed. I really enjoyed the father and daughter relationship. I'm looking forward to the next episode.

[@LearningToLiveTexasHomestead]

I hope those jackstands aren't the ones that break.

[@flyinhawaiian57]

Can we get a quick look at that beautiful what looks to me to be a '72 Chevy in the back, those 68-72 trucks are my favorite vehicles. Keep up the good work, I love seeing these old cars come back to life.

[@johnalbritton1044]

Lemans blue (1968 color) I painted my coupe( 68) and just love it. I sometimes find myself staring at it. lol

Great!

Great job looks excellent, be a pleasure to drive, thanks for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones

[@ronstorey6012]

When the 2 of you leaning on the car waiting on Jim ,you were talking about hurricane's ,well I've been riding and driving through them since 1950 in Ft. Lauderdale an all over Florida. I even drove my simi through the one that hit Virginia, so your not alone. I even rode out the 2 in the Gulf the hit big Ben in Florida. I was in chiefland, FL in a camper riding out those 2

[@HHWheels]

Wow!

[@todddenio3200]

Alice saying it needs a 4 speed put a smile on my face. It would have been great if she had the chance to drive the car rather than just riding in it.

[@Slanted6]

That was fun to watch thanks

[@gregryan6912]

Thats awsesome job for only working on it for a couple of days! Should be a good cruiser!

[@MEANSTREETAUTO454]

Great story ! By the way when painting and priming go from one side ALL the way to the other . Big long strokes . So like all the way from the rear of the door to the front of the door. And don't stop at gaps such as door gaps . I try to paint half the side of a car with one step then I go to the next half . Looking forward to the next vid !🍀

[@HHWheels]

Thanks for the tips!

[@charliemercado8667]

Can't wait till the 4 speed goes on. Love your videos

[@HHWheels]

You and me both!

What a cool story! I hope you 2 enjoy . Also, hopefully, you were able to get the other 4 speed parts . The car looks amazing . It's such a cool journey.

It's been a blast so far! We are hoping to have the 4-speed in soon!

Anytime you ever have a carb fire simply turn the key again it will suck it right back in the carb and you have less of a chance of burning your car down. I really like the color of the primer I was pleasantly surprised to see that color going on I think it looks really good you guys did an amazing job. This definitely was a fun one.

[@coreysweigart4290]

I would replace that radiator fan! I've seen those fans shatter!

[@HHWheels]

Oh don’t you worry, it’s getting changed. But it was a solid temporary

[@HHWheels]

Agree!!! 👍

[@MrSpork1978]

Amazing project. After all said and done primer blue should remain the color as it a project that has been done by the 2 of you and always will be a project. Primer blue represents the journey in my eyes and I try to keep one car always primer blue. Amazing how much you 2 were able to do with such limited resources. Time to get a race trailer so you have a portable shoo w lift and all the tools you desire. Get a nice old diesal to pull it none of this new barbie I mean plastic crud. Although I do like the EV Silverado. Toss panels on roof of trailer and it goes a long way even w a trailer.

[@aragonep]

Great video, you guys make an awesome team.... wrench on!
