Dalton, I’m not gonna lie, seeing cars with more hole than car be revived has legitimately re-sparked my mechanic drive. I thought my Cobra strut towers were beyond saving, but the Holey Goat, Silver Dollar Chevy, and this glorious adventure remind me that rust isn’t the end. Just get out and drive it! Keep up the fantastic builds!

I always enjoy your videos. The wife asked "Why doesnt he just take one car and fully restore it, instead of half assing it" I explained thats the whole point of his channel. You dont have to fully restore it to enjoy what you built. Most guys out there dont have $40,000 garage set ups. Dalton is just a regular guy like most people.

JD is a throwback. Anytime you ask him to do something, whether he knows how or not, he always just says ok. Great attitude

Dalton, seeing this video has revived my spirits. I have been hospitalized since October 18 of last year and been unable to work on my 1964 Buick Riviera.

I think I have four of those things that came in a random assortment of car parts and toolboxes and tools I bought in a lot from an estate sale about 3 years ago for ten bucks. They are sitting on a shelf in my shop just waiting to be needed, and if I don't get around to using them, well, when I die my kids will sell it to some other sucker for ten bucks in the estate sale along with half my tools. Maybe NOW is the time to teach my kids the fine art of sorting and reselling tools and parts so they don't just sell them a pallet at a time for short money.

[@danielweith1075]

Thanks for laying rubber before removal from the Pontiac, PRICELESS! After watching to the end, my vote is put the car back together with all the parts on the inside and outside on hand. Then show how to make it better with your friends, family and other invited youtubers and have some fun along the way. I hope all is well with Codey since there has not been much action on his channel, I miss seeing him in action having fun. Great Job!

I have an audi a1. I'm the type that absolutely loves the car and will continue to repair it so I can enjoy it. I'm a mechanic so I can do a lot of the work on my car but noth everything. Usually once a year it needs something and this year is no difference. The water pump went the other week on the way to work. It didn't leave me stranded it just started leaking slowly. It will get a new water pump for the first time in 100000 miles actually slight under and we measure in kms here so she's done just on 150000kms. I've had over 70 cars and this wee audi is me favorite one yet. I stuck away from euro cars for high repair cost and unreliable but I've been very surprised on how good it has been and how good to drive it is.

You are absolutely right. If you want to get into the musclecar community, you can find one and piece it together, make smart choices if the money isnt there and make it work.

Picked up my dads 67 lemans from the St. Vincent de Paul for 600.00, 1 owner who had it till she passed away. All original with a 326 and a 2 speed. Then added a jim butler 474 stroker with a th400 and a 12 bolt. Was a blast 2 drive, had 13.1 compression and ran on 110 octane erc, did glorious burnouts and ran mid 10's. My dad is currently redoing a 65 buick skylark convertible and doing the everyone LS swap 5.3. It was sitting in a shed in kansas for many many yrs, was original including drive train, had the 310 wildcat and someone had added a th350 and tossed the 2 speed. If it was me id keep the 310 wildcat and 3 speed. Was yellow and now is a gm blue metallic, really nice color. Just toss on a buick air cleaner and ur good 2 go.

If a four speed trans was handy swapping one in place of the auto trans. Spraying down the engine compartment with gloss black after cleaning it. Finding some decent tires, wide 60's or 70's in back and stock size up front. Gotta install some cheap Low restriction turbo mufflers or glass packs and some type of available exhaust manifolds,, Hooker Headers. Clean up the interior, patch the floorboards. Some type of seat covers over the old seats. Gotta have a SUN tach mounted on the steering column. Gotta have a Pioneer or better Cassette stereo player in it along with co-axel 6x9 rear deck speakers and front tweeters as well.
