What's In This Trunk Is A Little Alarming!

[@chadlecraft4971]

Several years ago my dad sold my grandmas, his moms 69’ Dodge Coronet. She had bought it new and It had less than 30,000 original miles when passed away in the 1995. Green metallic 2 door with a 318ci. All original, even had the factory installed A/C.. We took it a couple car shows And won a couple awards at one. It was a sweet ole car.

[@moparman1962]

Several people have chimed in and said they think red and white seats would look very nice as part of the interior of the Coronet...with red stitching on the white parts of the seats. My friends who watch your channel and I fully agree, that color combination would look great in the car.

[@jimedge8301]

Great job editing Michelle! Great to see the good work salvaging old wrecks.

[@mmartian1969]

That old ramp side is cool. Love those old trucks.

[@logancrow9979]

Paul, you remind me so much of my grandfather. He passed away in February of 2020 and was more a father to me than my own dad. Warms my heart to see you treat your kids the exact way I was treated by my grampa. ❤️

That 4 door brings back some memories from the mid to late 80's when we would load up my buddy's with 7 or 8 people and go cruising. That perfectly worn shovel and hammer are the tools of an experienced foundation worker.

I just smile every time I see the old Coronet. So love the old Mopar muscle. A guy feels right at home when seeing your kids leave tools, and used cans laying around. My grandson drove my lawnmower up to the house with a flat tire, only I had to get the bead back on. Kids are no different here in Wisconsin.

[@adam-n-stuff]

"If I could keep my kids out of the shop" - I heard that from my dad growing up. Once I moved out the problem didn't stop, turns out it wasn't just us kiddos. Sooo, good luck with that Paul! hahaha

The interior of the 4 door coronet was the same color and configuration as the one I had in 88-89. My great grandma bought it new in 65 and my dad bought it for me from my grandma when I was 16. It was my first car. We had 12 people in it one time going to cruise..lmao. thanks for the walk down memory lane. The shops looking awsome, Keep up the good work.

Paul, Michelle, Ben, Randle, Alan...We your subscribers LOVE IT when you find, bring home, work on, restore and hop up old cars/trucks (1940's-1980's). We love seeing you drive them, take them to car shows, donate them to charities, raffle them off. Robby Layton loves his old Mopars and old hotrods/ratrods and Matt does stuff with older vehicles as well...it's awesome, please keep doing it on your channel. I imagine you guys know about Derek's "Vice Grip Garage" channel...he grew fast to well over a million subscribers by videoing himself mainly showing his old vehicle finds, gettin' 'em running on location and then driving them home...all 1940's -1980's cars and trucks except for one 1920's Studebaker truck (still way cool). Then he worked on restoring some of them, getting some running/driving decently and giving them away or selling them and making sure they each survive and go on to be used, cared for and appreciated by everyone who comes in contact with them. We Americans LOVE older vehicles and seeing them brought back to life, being restored and seeing them being driven and used. (Michelle, you need a cool older vehicle project of your choosing and you guys should video it being picked up, brought home and worked on until it is a reliable driver you can use whenever. It would be cool to see you drive your own coolmobile sometimes when you go on parts runs, take it to car shows, to meet 'n' greets, to Matt's or Robby's places, etc). Thanks for the old car/truck content...it's a sure winner on your channel.

It's coming along quite nicely . I remember replacing the sparkies in a 65 Newport , 383 , you have to crawl underneath to access some of the plugs ( the size of my belly at that time made it a lot of fun )

[@cliffordpeterson3967]

I stopped in a couple of weeks ago to say hi and meet you guys. It was a pleasure. My father was a "shade tree" mechanic and when I was old enough to undo bolts my job was to crawl under and undo the tranny bolts to the engine and all the rest of the stuff you have to do under there. Since then I went on to be a helicopter mechanic in the Coast Guard and up to a few years ago all my own upkeep on my cars. I love watching you guys wrenching away and explaining as you go. Love the give away car as my dad owned a white Dodge corner station wagon with push button gear shift. Keep up the good work.

Lots of little details, it's what made working on those old cars so interesting. All the trunks leaked, only kept tools and spare tire in there LOL. Any jackets or clothes you kept in the car proper. We all worked under those cars using bumper jacks, amazing we all didn't get crushed! I kept a couple bumper jacks in my garage, they make good conversation starters now :)

The rear seat cushion on the 4 door has rounded front corners to make it easier to get in and out. On the 2 door, the front corners are square. Have your upholstery guy make square corners out of foam and you're good.

Mr. Paul. So many times in your video's you either mention, or do, or,... try to do a burnout. So in one of your videos, and in the video of your lighting guy, the aftermath of doing a burnout inside the shop was well, nasty for all who touched anything. So my suggestion is, out beside, behind or somewhere, anywhere, pour yourself a burnout pad. Keep the mess away from your shop area! Go ahead, Do it LOL Thanks for all the fun watching your content.

[@allanmccorquodale7018]

Your upholstery guy reminded me of my grandfather who was a surgical boot maker. Pa had a little workshop in the back yard. There was an arc where the door opened and then the scraps of leather filled the rest of the room. I can still remember that smell of fresh cut leather. I love the way that you and Matt and Robbie work together and get your kids involved. The way Matt has trained Lizzy is fantastic. From teaching her to weld and use all the tools and show her how to do recoveries and drive all the vehicles is great. You guys make a great team.

[@davidp8157]

Your seat guy will almost certainly know, but, seats this old often get a little soft, and lower seating position. You can retension the existing springs to make firmer and back to the correct seating height. The webbing of the springs opens up, making everything soft and low. All you need to do is tighten each web a little and hey presto you have a new seat! Same system whether bucket seats or bench seats.
