Dodge POWER WAGON Restoration Vlog: *EPISODE 6* FIRST START Chrysler 230 Flathead

[@sergehorion7155]

At last, after 12 minutes in this video, you switched. Now on, two third of my screen are not blurred ! Thank you! That is a great improvement. I watched all your videos anyway but it is a lot more comfy now.

[@partsandresto]

Sorry fella. Don’t get used to it, next episode picks up in the cell phone configuration

[@harry7361]

Your first engine rebuild is always akin to heaven. It really feels great, even when you're sick and it doesn't matter shit from shinola, that's YOUR engine and no matter how many you do, how complicated, or how big and powerful, nothing will ever compare. Congratulations. On the rope seal; offset each one an equal amount, I generally try to set them up about 15° off center.

[@paulharvey1947]

What I like most about this build is he is not building a trailer queen. This will look like a Survior truck and not a rat rod

[@partsandresto]

Thanks Paul, that’s exactly the idea.

[@moodyga40]

its great not a shelf queen a good old survivor

[@jeepanimal2943]

Small victories win a battle. Battles win the war. Or in this case, the prize. Looking forward to that first drive now..............

[@partsandresto]

Me too!! Soon!!

[@davidcurry9292]

That one fender has more metal in it than most newer model vehicles lol Can’t wait to see you double clutching that bad boy down the road!

[@partsandresto]

Hahaha. Any day now!

[@samiam7]

Really enjoying these!

[@txjohn1961]

Love the video Dave. I'm doing a similar restoration on a '52 Power Wagon with a goal of it having solid, reliable mechanicals and an old survivor look, no concours restoration for me either. Keep up the great work and keep sharing those videos.

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Happy 4th of July. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep restoratioing. Keep making. God bless.

[@partsandresto]

Thanks Jared! I appreciate your support sir!

[@oxfd611]

Yeah it dose sound sweet 👍 and cool 😎.

[@dannoquin7322]

Now that was a fun roller coaster ride!

[@partsandresto]

Haha! You got it dude

[@tonywatson987]

Dave, you doubt yourself too much - those welds are just fine - compared to what they were before! The main criterion is a blind man on a galloping horse - if he can't see it, it's good to go. Wish I'd been following this live, but I don't do Instagram, so I'm looking forward to Episode #7...

[@partsandresto]

Thanks Tony. I appreciate your support as always my good friend

[@WaynesWorldGarage]

Dave, I ended up putting in a remote master cylinder reservoir on my '56. I pressure bleed them with a motive products pressurized thing. Way easier than pumping the pedal three times then realing the master cylinder is out of fluid.... If you make a gasket for the cap use EPDM rubber. It stands up against brake fluid. Good job!!

[@donnatanner359]

there are 3 different rear seals use by Dodge the rearmains are made different . great fun figuring out. i have 4.89 gears . makes it more drivable. still pulls more than nessary.

[@paulresca6681]

Keep them coming. Looks great. You must be loving the progress.

[@partsandresto]

It’s a real pleasure, honestly.

[@frankhall4]

Congratulations on getting it to run

[@partsandresto]

Thanks frank!!’

[@ramiroescamilla7263]

Nice truck.

[@partsandresto]

Thanks bro!

[@54mgtf22]

It’s alive!

[@moodyga40]

mad max truck

[@partsandresto]

Yasssss

[@harry7361]

up until the seventies, lead, like solder, was used to fill seams and gaps for its easy forming properties and is usually smoothed with a wooden wedge dipped in wax.

[@ukp42]

I just remembered to ask, did you grease the wheel hubs? Great work and look forward to the finish truck, first drive. Love from Scotland

[@partsandresto]

I did! Thanks dude

[@GarethSutherland-y8h]

You’re located in Philly right? Ill have to check your shop out sometime. About to get my 49 running this week.

[@GK-sh7ck]

U-joint "yokes" are what those driveline parts are called. The short driveline sections are the "stub shafts". Not trying to sound like a "know it all" just 55 years experience talking. Cheers!

[@DependableAutoTruck]

yes keep doing

[@harry7361]

You're doing well for a beginner. Might I suggest that you check out the 1960 Plymouth Fury daily driver project on Coldwarmotors on You Tube because Scott can show you much in the way if matching panels and welding

[@leonardobatistarocha7956]

Amigo caboclo 🤠 essa restauração do seu caminhão 🚛 Dodge antigo vai ficar lindo vai ficar bão 🤠 demais da conta sô certinho igual dedo do zóio.

[@reijerlincoln]

You're our kind of weird. That motor sounds healthy! Is the electrical system 6V positive ground?

[@partsandresto]

Sure is brother! And thank you, it’s the best kind of weird to be!

[@remyrobertello1809]

hello I would like to know where you got the technical manual of the dodge power wagon

[@partsandresto]

eBay bud

[@remyrobertello1809]

Ok thanks

[@dcoolie8462]

Despite all your setbacks you finally figured out how to turn your phone horizontal!!! Lookin good bro. The wagon, not you.

[@partsandresto]

Haha don’t get used to it!

[@harry7361]

those are not "shakles" they're called slup yokes..... don't know why, but because as the suspension flexes, the driveshafts ( prop shafts) grow and shorten in length which is obvious once you think about it, but unless you know to think about it you never will

[@harry7361]

slip yokes not slup yokes. Isnt auto correct grand?

[@jeremybrua5523]

Love the content but you need to not use that 3 screen. It makes the video almost unwatchable and causes motion sickness.

[@partsandresto]

We agree. Newer videos are shot correctly

[@keithlibner9259]

At 21:30 I will tell you the truth, I HATE BONDO! Another small bead will work so much better. Bondo tends to break out with vibration of driving .
