MUSCLE CAR REVIVAL After 20+ Years - '64 Pontiac Lemans

[@Leylandcars123]

You can tell Dalton really cares about this car when he uses no self tappers, he even removed one😱

[@heiner71]

Scary.

[@who_goes_there_studios]

That’s because it’s the only car he’s ever had with floors

[@Cacahead-rm2lc]

Haha ! The Self Tapper King, like a character on The Simpsons.

[@tc7584]

Does he know how to weld? I'd always wondered just because sometimes it seems easier

[@junkyardsearcher6407]

Hey Dalton, as someone who got seriously ill from spraying spray paint and being around the fumes, even with a KN 95 mask, I found a decent dual filter painter’s mask on EBay for a surprisingly low cost. I won’t spray without it anymore. If you don’t want to use one for big spraying jobs, please at least get one for JD, his lungs are still young and they’re the only set he’ll ever have.

[@swamp-yankee]

I’ve told him similar, but without that kind of experience. My old man briefly met the man who invented spray paint cans, and he said he would never personally use one because of breathing paint. Told my dad he shouldn’t use them either. Dude was rich af. Forget exactly how they met I think the guy was friends with his boss or something.

[@NTromb]

I literally painting my last vehicle about three vehicles go just using a mask and yeah, your eyes are even at North us so basically, now I have a full face shield for Spring or any super noxious fuels but mostly just spring anything via cans or paint it might help to add that if people don’t know what I’m talking about it’s a full face with a respirator included, which you can swap out the filters at least up here in Calgary There’s a place called KMS tools and U fusion get the filters and even a face mask for a decent price

[@WisconsinAndersons]

"Hey, let's revive this Pontiac!" Fires right up. "Now what?" Classic!

[@RpmAuto]

🤣Yeah $4800 revival

[@mattmichael4164]

I'm so stoked to see this bad mother get painted. I love that you don't just "LET THE PATINA SHOW THROUGH" on beautiful old cars, you bring them back to their original-ish glory with body work and a paint job.

[@michaelharper-uw3dn]

Me too. I am so tired of the patina thing. Truthfully I never liked it at all.

[@onthefritzfarm]

Dalton, I obviously don’t know you from Adam but I’m very happy that KZbin has afforded you the opportunity to purchase these vehicles. You’ve got the perfect temperament for this kind of work. As an ol Missouri boy myself(opposite end from you deep in the bootheel), rest assured that I support your ventures.

[@BUILTFORDTOUGH79]

I support this comment. JDS and Junkyard digs/mook are good ones too. I have my “larger” car guys like VGG, Cleetus, JH, TA, etc…. But I love the little guys that do it how you and me can afford😊

[@buleyauto]

My brother passed away in 2021 and left me his 67 GTO, which has been just sitting since. This was just the inspiration I needed to try to get it going. Thanks, Dalton.

[@whispertron]

If PBG ever ventures into making power tools, I would like to pitch a pressure washer hooked up to a 55 gallon drum of brake clean. Just think of the savings compared to all those spray cans! Plus you could add an igniter from a barbecue and turn it into a flame thrower.

[@ReviveAndDrive-mk1]

Id buy that in a heartbeat 😂

[@DeanJohnson-gu9jv]

It’s people like you that keep this planet moving forward!👍🇳🇿

[@swamp-yankee]

I know you’re joking, but just buy acetone and throw it in a spray bottle?

[@LN997-i8x]

​@@swamp-yankeeThat's penetrating fluid. Brake cleaner cleans without residue. Totally different use case.

[@swamp-yankee]

⁠@@LN997-i8x wait, does it only evaporate if it’s sprayed from a can? Not trying to argue, but I don’t follow.

[@garybush6117]

Finally! Someone who is not a huge fan of patina, loves white lettered tires, chrome mags, and a shiny car. Doesn't have to be perfect, just look cool. I get so disappointed when I see other people take an iconic American Muscle Car, throw tons of money at the engine, suspension, and sometimes interior but refuse to address the rust on and under the car because it looks "cool." A 1952 International pickup farm truck might look ok with patina, but not a muscle car. I'm old enough to remember when most of these cars were new. I get repairing/rebuilding on a budget. We've all had to do that, but when you have a little cash and really sink your teeth into something, you're a damn fine mechanic. This build is going to be a treat. First year of the iconic GTO/LeMans/Tempest body style through 67. It's gonna be fun. You're funny as hell, too. The well-spoken but deadpan delivery is a hoot. Keep on rocking!

[@petelattimer6808]

agreed. to me, patina is just a pile of junk you cant be bothered/afford to fix properly so you throw money at the wrong areas of the car. Patina on something like the Holey Goat tells its story. on a 'regular' vehicle, it just makes it look worn out and ready to be put in its final resting place/parted out.

[@garybush6117]

@@petelattimer6808 Absolutely agree, but some people just LOVE their patina. I was at a car show last year, and a friend and I were looking at a 1962 Chrysler 300 Sport Coupe with a factory manual floor shift. Can't remember if it was a 383 or a 413. The car was in great shape but had surface rust on the body (patina) and needed an interior. No big deal. I told my friend that this car was great, it just needed a decent paint job, and new seat upholstery and carpet. I told him that the "patina" made the car look like a rust bucket. Well, the owner of the car (whom I didn't know) overheard me and got really ticked off and offended because he heard me say that I didn't like patina and beat up seats on a classic car. It was not my intention to insult the guy or his car, I didn't know he was listening to my conversation. At any rate, I just walked away. I felt sorry for the car. It deserved a better owner. And I've never seen the car again. If the guy loves rust, more power to him.

[@michaelharper-uw3dn]

@@garybush6117 I am so glad others are speaking out about the patina look. I wouldn't want to insult anyone either but I detest it

[@garybush6117]

@@michaelharper-uw3dn Patina has its place like I mentioned above. If I were attending a car show/cruise-in and saw a patina car, such as maybe a classic Dodge Charger or some other classic, it wouldn't matter to me how much money was thrown at the engine or undercarriage. All I would see in my mind's eye is a rust bucket POS. My show cars were never perfect but they were clean, detailed and as rust free as I could make them. But whatever floats their boat, I guess.

[@jasongreek2342]

The only justifiable reason, for me, to think that the patina look could be acceptable, would be if the body were all original. If it's original paint, and it's worn and weathered but the body is solid, sure. Preserve it. Keep it original. But if it's not the original paint on the car, screw it. A brushed coat of house paint would look better than that.

[@Payne427]

My grandfather passed away a while ago and he left my mom his 64 GTO he bought new in 63 and everything on it is original except the 406 he put in it in 2008. the crager SS wheels on it are one year younger than the car itself. Much respect and support from Eastern Iowa! ❤

[@thehemiolds455]

R.I.P to your pops,lost my dad about 9yrs ago know the feeling. It's more than car that he left behind,but more the memories and sentimental memories that he made with the car. Never get rid of it at all cost 👌😎

God I love it Dalton!!!! I agree with everything you did to it but I might have opted for a dual service master cylinder. I have crap for luck with old rusty brake lines. I definitely love the sound, the air shocks, and the Cragars!!!! One thing I will never understand is why people think it's cool to lower their trucks. A truck is meant to be lifted. I see duallies running around scraping the ground. What the hell good is that when it's time to hook the gooseneck up? It's like putting a lift kit on a Corvette. Blasphemy as far as I'm concerned. And then I've seen them lower them and put air bags on it. They go on a long road trip and guess what fails? The bags!!! So they have their other toys loaded up on a gooseneck being pulled by what looks like a sparkler running down the road. Just stupid. But I love what you are doing and can't wait to see Part 2 on this. I am expecting much improvement on the interior and hopefully a decent paint job on the body. Thanks for the content!!!!!!

True story, I bought a 1997 Honda Civic coupe, swapped the single cam 1.5L (D15B) for a dual cam 1.8L (B18B1) from a junkyard, put an eBay turbo kit on it with supporting mods (bigger injectors, fuel pump, ARP head studs, Cometic MLS head gasket), got it street tuned using Crome the cheapest way possible, and it ran a 14.7 @ 100 MPH on 8 lbs of boost spinning all the way through 2nd on very hard 205/40/17 cheap tires...and I missed the 2-3 shift. I paid $1000 for the car, the engine was $250, the GSR transmission was $250, the turbo kit was $450, the supporting mods were probably $500 all-in, and the tune was $100. So for around $2100 I had a car that looked good and was really fun to drive. I'm sure there are plenty of y'all who can beat that story, so let me hear them! This was just one of mine.

In 2003 I purchased a 1992 Corolla from a college student who forgot that engines require oil. I gave the kid $100 for the car. Being a Toyota mechanic I put a crank kit in it, dingle balled the cylinders and put new rings in it and lapped the valves and put new valve stem seals in it . Timing belt and associated parts and it was running like new. The car put two of my children through college and then I use it to “kick around “ in because gas prices went up. Other than tires, belts, and regular maintenance it’s not needed any unscheduled repairs. The a/c is still ice cold and never had a drop of freon added to the system. It’s old and ugly so I have something in common with it. I told my son that if it ever lays down on me because of the engine or transmission I’m going to mount the valve cover on my shop wall and I’ll make an end table out of the block. The rest of her will be recycled and likely shipped to China where it will be used to make some crappy products that will help put an American company out of business.

( It in fact did not hold it in place) Well, I-75 by 69 in flint by the gm plant is a very smooth road. Which I'm sure you are painfully aware of.

[@mattbrown5511]

That is one beautiful car now. I cannot wait to see the final version of the LeMans.

[@Red_Hot_Eraser]

Man, it's nice seeing Dalton happy.

[@RustyZipper]

He’s not Dale Petty happy but definitely happy

[@steveneckard3649]

WOW! Man that was another fun build! That is a cool old Pontiac! I think Batman and Robin here??? The Dynamic ,,,,,,, Holy Bat POOP Batman! The incredible Classic Hot Rod Crusaders of yesteryear! Come back from somewhere in the past to entertain and AMAZE you! The worn down Blue paint must of looked pretty nice when new! You just make it look easy!!!! Fun car for sure and a flash Back to my High School daze!!!!Yes,, get the interior under control and some tunes installed in her and there you have it! A fun and dependable street racer,,, or as needed! You are looking back to your old self finely! Keep the great entertainment coming our way!! Thanks!

What a fun video, I can absolute dig the slamming gears and opening up the 400! I know you're a Pontiac guy so I will share a short story that I have from 15 years ago. My son and I went downstate Michigan to buy a bunch of second hand Cragar SS wheels from this place that happened to look like an old garage/ small junk yard. Inside the old hanger building that looked abandoned there was tons of GTO parts brand new from GM. Engines, body parts, interior parts and I even realized on the wall was a whole car sitting there. The guy there with me said his Dad worked for Pontiac during the 50's -80's and was able to get all kinds of stuff back then maybe for free? The car was very rare he said it was a July 1963 build Tempest convertible 389 4v 4 speed car with a rearend instead of the transaxle. From what he said it was one of the last 63 Tempest built before the changeover for the 64 models. Any how loved the video and can't wait to see more of the Lemans and of course the Buick builds (I am a Buick guy)!

This is the only channel that I click the like button for on EVERY video, A: because I want to support the channel, and B: Because I genuinely love every episode...... Thanks for all that you do, all the way from New Zealand!

[@jfink1]

Hi Dalton. It is so fun to see you excited about the car. I look forward to seeing you resto-mod it. I'll watch as you go along and then watch the playlist all the way through.

[@Paul-p3z]

I love it with the ears sticking out 2 inches. I grew up with that look. Starsky and Hutch with air shocks lol beautiful 😍 🤩

[@johnwingrider6874]

Brother I think you have the best channel on KZbin, keep em coming. Love that 64, I would rather drive that than a brand new one. I`m a retired and partly disabled Florida State Trooper , but I`m an old school mechanic too and I love this stuff.

[@border411]

Of all the vehicles you have done, this one deserves the most attention. It is freaking sweet!

[@AnthonyRBlacker]

I really like the '70s cop show music at the end when you and JD are driving it around.. nice touch!

[@jaredfarney675]

That 64 is a Riot! The Pypes kit turned out good better than I thought. And the stance is 👌🏻. The concourse level restoration is the quality I expect as a PBG member. Glad you didn't lose the shop, it was touch and go for a moment, but in true form finished strong. Right onto the floor. I'm excited for this gem. 🤘🏻🇺🇸

[@GuitarAudiologist]

Sweet. Glad you're invested in this one. Seems my favorite PBG videos are the ones where you go the extra mile, because you tend to explain things more, and I learn a lot. Can't wait to see what you do with it, man!

[@randomrob2221]

I always have massive respect for JD, always have the massive balls to ride vehicles with the title death itself and a driver - dad , that laughs at death like its nothing and goes "READY TO MEET YOUR MAKER BOI?! CUZ HELL I DO"

[@stevenpike7530]

I love your vlog when you are tinkering on going to town rigs you are into (comes through in the tone of your work)…congrats.

[@tomrepici9608]

Getting on that sucker on its first outing after the work - that sounds was perfect. One hell of a Poncho, love it!!!

[@TazR6]

To start, huge congratulations on almost quarter of a million subscribers. That has gone up loads, and deservedly so. What a great bare bones car. It is a blank canvass, waiting for your genius to be unleashed. It is quite a menacing looking thing. I find it weird that it was only half upgraded though. From a 6 to an 8 without power brakes, and also the lower spec radiator staying put. It was pretty half assed as s someone I follow has been known to say... Hey, it's Jim. Hi Jim. The dynamic you two have is one of the best ever. You compliment each other so well. Always good to him joining in. Breaks with the brakes. Whoda thunk that! JD getting stuck in without complaint as always. It has never been shown in your videos, but do the two of you ever bicker and argue at all? The way your relationship is shown, I kinds doubt it, but you are father and son so there must be the odd spat from t time to time. THOSE WHEELS!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍 Cosmetics make a hell of a difference to old cars. Cosmetic items on new cars looks daft, but they really make an old car stand out. You sir, have impeccable taste. Oooh, I like the new basic t-shirt. If only it did not cost 5 times the cost of the t-shirt to get it to me. Damn postage charges. That "fancy funnel" for the radiator filler. I wonder who that someone was that sent it to you :-} Itr is so cool to see things being used that fans send to you. It sounds hot man, fricken brilliant. Is it cammed out? It truly sounds glorious. PMSL! I was screaming at you to use the plug in the rad filler thingymajobit. The cold start gets one of those stupid chef's kisses that I loath, but thought it was a good use of one here. What a difference just cleaning the glass makes to the whole car. I love it. I still want the Torino though. The laughter is infectious. That is what it is all about, right there 58:21. GM, why oh why, in your infinite wisdom, did you discontinue Pontiac? The stance was you were filling up with fuel looks impeccable. It is a really nice car. Is it going to get more love? I assume so, so there will be much more of it to see. LOL at your concentrating reversing face. I think we must all do that. Starting on episode 2. Great news to hear there will be more. The drive by noise is so so good. You hit the jackpot with your exhaust choice, fitment issues considered. Thank you for the upload,,, ooh there's more. Fancy air cleaner. Where was I? Oh yes, thanks for the upload. 4 incredible people in one video. I am so grateful that I happened to watch a JYD video that you were in, and I have been hooked by both channels ever since. Neil :-}

[@Sandkei]

I had me some air shocks back in the day. Loved the look, but never heard the term "ground sniffer" 😅 Well done sir 👏

[@ghettsumm7949]

Dalton,...I never miss any of your videos, and I never expect much quality work to happen! But by the end of the show I'm surprisingly impressed with the end product. Keep it up my Man!

[@Sidewayz455]

Looking forward to seeing more of this car in the future. That's how cars should be, you press the pedal and a joyous laughter appears.

[@spankyham9607]

Jim makes your channel so much better. You need to keep that character on your show.

[@kennethsonier1766]

Good morning from Cape Cod ⛵ I originally found your channel because I was more or less incapacitated with chronic lyme disease. I'm only recently coming back around. With that said funds are short, I would really love to buy some of your Merch but I can barely afford to keep this phone operating. Anyway I'm 100% behind you guys, hands down you are my favorite channel. Congratulations on finding yourself one really nice LeMans, I'm looking forward to the continuation of this project ✌️🇺🇲

[@alwynemcintyre2184]

Dalton you and jess seem like a perfectly matched couple, having fun and feeding off each other

[@toddwilliams8550]

Dalton ole buddy, You work ethic, temperament is so "Blue Collar" I enjoy watching You & Your Antics!!! I'm a Pontiac guy too, You remind me of me in so many ways!!! Keep up the Great, Awesome & Cool content!!! I learn & get reminded on how tos!!!

[@Bowogre13]

Dalton, absolutely love it man. Glad you got one for yourself. Can’t wait to see where this car goes.

[@justinwise6950]

That is a sweet ride! The Jim jokes and innuendo were a bonus.

[@snodgress137]

[@junkyardsearcher6407]

This was a super fun episode, the early LeMans and GTO’s are some of my favorites! The car started out as really good, and ended up being a great daily. I am looking forward to the next episode with this car… actually I look forward to all of your episodes.
