It Runs, It Doesn't Run... "Stone Soup" 1962 Dodge Lancer Revival 2 - Carb Overhaul, Points And More

[@jazman1966]

Thanks Jamie for doing this for vic. I've made a Facebook page to chronical the process of anyone is interested. Thanks again Jamie. Your one of my favorite you tube channels. Your wit and delivery are bar none the best out there.

Oh awesome! Thank you.

[@MikeTheSlacker]

This project is beyond the scope of anything I'd attempt.getting it stable for everyone who comes after is a major contribution.

[@heavensmopars]

Thanks for your time, money, knowledge and hard work Jamie to help Vic out… there’s strength in numbers. People will be amazed at the transformation of this Lancer by Sept, 2024. I have a radiator from my ‘62 Valiant I will donate since I’m going the 340 route with it. I’ll also straighten out the grill, when it gets passed on next. 👍 It’s people like you Jamie that help make the world go ‘round. Thanks brother! 😃

[@Wayfarer001]

The gift that keeps on giving... Great line,means so much more to me now. I lost my 35 yo son to a seizure on easter,he donated 3 organs. The gift that keeps on giving. This is maybe the only place I would of enjoyed that quote. Thanx man. Wayfarer..

Thanks Jamie for sacrificing your Saturday night to make content to entertain us couch taters, especially when you could have been planted on your couch with a guitar in your lap and a beer on the table next to you.

[@davestark2015]

In the late sixties my babysitter had that exact same car, I got to ride in it several times ,and I always loved the way they looked, hers was passed down from her parents and was mint . I sure do miss my childhood and youth. Was a great time. Cheers Sir

[@pcbullets8726]

What a rig this thing is. Gonna be cool to see how this ends up with all different people working on it.

[@Raycr]

Jamie, big THANK YOU for the updated needed ingredients list for the Stone Soup! I have found one of the elusive 1962 Lancers that will be willing to give up a few parts to make this soup much more tasty! I need to go harvest what I can and having the list will, maybe, let me do that in one trip

[@beljames1563]

Thats one dusty road toad. Its going to be fun to see it progress. What an interesting concept of fixing stuff then sending it on. If someone need help getting it somewhere, has the equipment to move it but not time, I could be persuaded to fly out and take it to its next stop. That goes for any leg of the journey.

[@Raycr]

Beljames, there's opportunity to help move the car from the west to North Dakota. If you google stone soup, you'll find the web site for the build

[@parlund759]

Had four door 1962 Lancer in the early 90s. Used it as my daily driver for a couple of years. Drove it 25000 km a year. I live in northern Sweden, had 14x6 inch steel rims with snowtires on. It ran like a dream. When i met my first wife she was so embarrassed over that car. SO UGLY she said. I loved it and i still miss it. Hard to find in these in Sweden so now i drive old Chevys Not at winter thoug. 😊

[@michaelnault5905]

Some of those cars were still on the road when I was a kid. I've always liked the unusual body style, and still do.

[@clembob8004]

I really want to follow the progress on this car, because it's starting at such a challenging point. Rust, rust, and more rust, and that's just a taste of the work to be done. But, dammit I am rooting for this car. These 60-62 A bodies are just so adorable.

[@bradbeall392]

I love those old Lancers! The fact that you were able to get this one to move under its own power (albeit just barely) is reason enough to make it road-worthy. Can’t wait for the next video!❤

[@PaulSteinberg-il4tw]

Its body lines have always been of interest to me, not sure why but!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@JimmyLoose]

You broke the fourth wall. Audiences love that.

[@jamesonpace726]

1962 makes it older than I am, not much, but I'll tell ya, I've got some parts on me that are locked up, leaky & bent, so carry on, Mad MotorMagician Man, carry on....

[@dennisrichardson2577]

It’s a runner!

[@cowthedestroyer]

UNLIMITED POWERRRR well maybe I am 100% with you on the no cooling lines on a rad with a manual. Sure clutch replacement is always fun but you never have to touch a drop of atf or have mystery leaks from who in the hell knows where. Oh and ive never had to replace an input or an output shaft seal on a manual before but autos? Forget it

[@SuperCommando60]

well, never thought of using sand as a coolant, but at least it won't freeze

[@DeadDodgeGarage]

It reduces friction by slowly grinding all of the components in the cooling system down to nothing. And it doesn’t freeze!

[@tannerlawson1721]

Man that's awesome good old one barrel

[@race8427]

The longer you look, the better it looks. I do like those nice big wheel well openings. With a good running SB, 4 spd and an 8 3/4, stripped out, caged with some fat tires all around and some suspension work it would make a great lite weight (no acid dipping necessary) Touring Car.

[@heavensmopars]

I’ll be doing that exact setup with my ‘62 2dr Valiant with a 340. Plus chopping the top and reversing the doors… 😎👊🏻

[@williamwhite9767]

I've always loved the way those cars looked.

[@cbobmonster]

[@DeadDodgeGarage]

This slant is better than any of the other ones I have. Haha. And I don’t see any better Lancers around here either so… yay.

[@samhicks97]

So far enjoying the Lancer shenanigans, especially with it's rare optional feature to spray fuel on the manifold to set itself on fire to get the attention of the local fire department, neat! 👍

Hey Jaime! Just found your channel and man I’ve learned a lot I didn’t know about my car! Definitely love the Everyman attack you take on these cars. Just converted my 67 Coronet to HEI and I’ve had good luck so far!

Lucky him, he doesn’t have to do much of it 😅 I think that’s the beauty of this project. Everybody takes a bite of the elephant.

[@Bob-Whiting]

I really am liking this car from the door handle on back. So Good. Really like the super thick rear window rubber, window and trunk deck. It works for me. Forward of that? It's kinda like TWO Completely Different people designed this car. Are there other fenders and grille and STUFF we could bolt on it to make it look cool?

[@DeadDodgeGarage]

It’s funny you should say that, because to my eye, this Lancer front end IS the cool one, compared to its Valiant counterpart.

[@Bob-Whiting]

@@DeadDodgeGarage That's why I made the second comment 'cause I started scrollin' back and forth. The more I take my time, the more the front end grows on ya, ya know?

[@tyhogue8316]

Why did you even say you would do it? Your love of Dodge cars? It needs sooo much!😮

[@DeadDodgeGarage]

Honestly I almost didn’t when it was a different, even worse car. But then I saw pictures of this one and I just knew it was a good idea, that it has that look the internet loves, and that I could make it run. And I don’t have to build the whole car! That’s the beauty of this deal. No one person, shop, or channel has to do more than they can. Everybody grabs one or two smaller projects on the car, and hopefully it all gets done. We’ll see if it works out that way, but I’m hopeful.

[@classicdude-mike8174]

it's no more than a ghost of a parts car

[@JonStein-mu5eb]

Weren't you saying that you were looking for one of the early valiants for yourself? Is working on one good enough or does it increase the want?

[@DeadDodgeGarage]

No I think it’s good enough. Haha.

[@960wattoffgridrv]

How handy are you with plumbing solder and a propane torch? those old copper brass rads are fairly easy to fix if you have trouble finding another rad.

[@DeadDodgeGarage]

Relatively. Haha. I know it, but this one is like… really, really bad. Multiple tubes broken off at the tank, and the entire thing is packed full of muck. If it was just a couple holes, that’s something we could deal with.

[@Matt-re3or]

I had better luck with electrical solder, but to each their own

[@960wattoffgridrv]

copper wire strands with soldering will patch up a badly damaged radiator! It's one of those slower projects but it's far cheaper than ordering a new rad. I have a 1979 winnebago itasca 454 chevy. The radiator looks like something out of a cabover semi and the heater core is bigger than a small car radiator. For me it was far cheaper to solder it. Just saying that it is a doable option. I'm in Canada where everything is roughly double or triple the cost of buying from the US.

[@Anthony-nw5zv]

Wow that slant 6 turns right over! 225? Or 170?

[@DeadDodgeGarage]

225!

[@doublebackagain4311]

Little off topic, but have you been able to establish a new-engine break in procedure after the cam lobe incident? You probably documented this already, but I can't seem to find- Thx

[@DeadDodgeGarage]

I did a whole video on it. My actual break in procedure didn’t change, but build procedures did - cam and lifter selection is the important part. No Comps or other off the shelf brands. NOS or cam grinder direct only.

How does a plug just not have an electrode? Is it in the cylinder?

There’s a very good chance it was. It likely left in tiny pieces… or I guess it could be embedded in the piston. That plug was also loose though, so who knows. It could have left the plug by other means.

I have a nicely built 340 that’s currently in a 71 satellite. Probably making around 425hp and 450 ft pounds of torque. I’m thinking about selling it and dropping in a hellcat in I found for a good deal. What would the swap be minus the engine cost because I want to pair it up to my 904 that’s in the car?

[@DeadDodgeGarage]

You’re going to put a Hellcat in front of a 904? I’ll say a prayer for it. I do realize that it must already be built to the hilt - but still. I have no idea what that swap will cost. A lot. So, so much. $20k in parts and labor would be a good place to start.

[@-sugar-bone-5549]

it sounds like it's choking when you give it throttle. very throaty, but like something's choking it in the intake. the exaust is garbage, so, could be that.

Correction, Jamie. The Dodge Dart is Red/White, the Lancer is White and Rust..It's also so ugly, it's hard to look at for long without my eyes hurting. 😂😂 It makes no sense like it's not fully formed...in fact it's deformed!!! Almost like it was meant to be a 4 door, but they forgot to install the back doors. I'm afraid if you pressure wash it, it may disintegrate....I guess that would be one way to get rid of it for sure 👍

[@DeadDodgeGarage]

It’s such a polarizing design. Lots of people remember them fondly or appreciate them, but a good few have a major physical reaction 😅 I agree that the two door sedan looks awkwardly proportioned. But I think it’s still neat.
