I Built a DONK for DIRT CHEAP!

[@brandonharwood9066]

There is nothing on KZbin that makes me more excited than seeing a new one of your videos pop up in my recommended. I work 2 jobs at the moment and don't get much time to myself, but I'm happy to watch whatever shit you get up to any day of the week. I've had an old car I've been wanting to restore for a while now, but I haven't had the funds or the time, so it's nice seeing your videos and reminding me just how much fun it is to work on things in general. Thanks for everything and helping me keep the automotive spark alive in my heart!

One of your best videos yet Tom, and be careful it looks like you got the beginnings of the Buick bug! They are truly the hidden treasure of the hot rod world and still very underrated, as a result still affordable for guys like us that just want to have fun and make something cool with out breaking the bank. Theres no going back now! Awesome stuff man I love to see it! You’re doing it right it’s all going to keep paying off don’t ever change! 👊🏻

Better then whistling diesel. You actually teach people how to do things and have fun with it. Even the cheap cars you don’t care about you still take care off. I’ve loss respect for Cody though out the years. Your definitely my favorite KZbinr

So as a automotive kinda sore as yourself, you are doing great, you’re young, you have a passion for the Old cars and trucks. But it’s good to see that you’re trying to put them back on the road, and add a few tweaks to it! Listen Tom when you look at the late 40s the 60s mid 70s and you dream about seeing her, or him on the road with what you create. That is what matters the most keep pushing you will be big!!! One day you will be at Sema you just need to believe because I see, and everyone on the enterweb sees!!!

I'm from Miami where the name "Donk" originated from, that Buick is far from a donk 😅😅 But that thing is a bad ass old school ride tho ! Enjoy that thing and can't wait to see what power train is going to eventually be in it.

[@olikat8]

Tom, got a very undesirable (to many), but very clean '76 Valiant sedan several years ago from the original owner for free. Had to promise not to flip it or cut it up, which I adhered to- I brought it across the US when I moved. Swapped on the 12" rotors & pin-style calipers from a '77 Cordoba, XHD V8 rear springs with poly bushings, Bergman Auto Craft front suspension, brake & steering kit, Bilstein shocks, USCT chassis stiffening, 8" wide, 16" Lincoln LSC 'turbine' aluminum wheels with 60-series Bridgestones...it does stop & handle far better than anybody expects. Engine wise, for now, I just used junkyard-sourced Edelbrock Performer intake, rebuilt Thermoquad with an electric choke & set up by "Mr. Clifton," a Summit double-roller timing kit as well as their cam & lifter kit (with specs that will work with the stock compression, 2.76 rear gear), 2.5" dual exhaust with old-school Magna-flow mufflers (X-crossover), and replaced all the consumable parts/wear parts. The car is a low-stress, fun cruiser that I have entered in vintage TDS events. I have a 340 slotted to be built & installed with a gearbox, 8.75" rear end w/discs...then paint & interior stuff. People use to blow off sedans, especially the cheap-end ones. But these days, they are coming onto their own. I have a GT350 and a '69 Swinger (converted to BB in about '78) that are cool, but the Valiant is more easy fun and lower stress to drive. Oh, I run CIBIE re-pop headlights with the LED bulbs, and for auxiliary lights I use a pair of 7" round, 310W LED, lights that have amber lens covers that snap in & out place that I mounted on brackets on the lower end of the bumper to the sides of the front plate. Like the Buick

That's not a donk but I love it anyway ‼️ great job ‼️

[@jakobc9348]

yo tom, i know this car doesn't mean much to you but its good practice to not stir the body filler it can incorporate bubbles that will make pinholes, instead just do the scoop and spread over and over going in different directions to get the hardener mixed in well, love your vids tho man keep up the good work
