I admire you guys for saving these old cars. Driving 650 miles, arriving in the dark, in the rain and just getting on with it. I know how you feel. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@derbymankg]

Absolutely nothing stops you two! Thank you Tim and Joe for preserving automotive history!

[@dalesmith112]

I never cease to be amazed at how much of an absolute beast Joe's truck is 😳 I think that thing could twist the earth off its axis. LOL

[@2Cubs2Cases]

Those are really great cars. Glad you were able to rescue them. History preserved.

[@garyruark9506]

Glad you went back and got them.

[@swhod2190]

Just great old classics! You've done well to save them! GREAT!

[@davis7959]

I would've brought all five back home. Thanks for the entertainment 👍

[@dyer2cycle]

Would have saved at least 1 more of the best of them, grabbed any decent doors, hoods, fenders, bumpers, grills, tail lights, interior pieces, etc. I could get...maybe even hacked out the engines for extra parts..I definitely would have saved that whole front clip they got, though, instead of hacking it off and hacking the hood and fenders in half.. :( I guess I just don't get that "wall art" fad....

[@davis7959]

@@dyer2cycle I don't understand wall art either.

[@willhorting5317]

I am very glad that these guys saved what they have. But I agree. It might have required more time and work, but I would have been saving every little salvageable part. Whether trim; lens; dash knobs; handles; whatever. Parts for these cars just don't grow on trees, or are readily available, for the people who want to restore/rebuild Nash, Frazier or Kaiser cars. Even in bad shape, this group of cars was a great find, IMO!

[@dyer2cycle]

At least hacking the nose off that one car saved the grill, etc., but the hood and fenders were totally destroyed by doing that, the fenders and hood should have been removed intact..to their credit, these guys do more than most to save original stuff, with minimal hacking...some guys(including many KZbinrs) hack up everything they 'save"...seen too many good front clips, and rear ends, and good pickup beds hacked up for this "wall art" stuff..that's another fad I just wish would go away...@@willhorting5317

[@mikebrown8065]

That is definitely awesome y'all went back for them!! Thanks for the videos Tim! Thanks Joe for being such a hard working 💪 friend and helping out Tim give us great videos! 😎🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@lawrenceharp6396]

I didn't think you were coming back for any of those Kaisers, but glad you did! The Traveler was likely intact all these years because of the trees and vines protecting it. (Would be fun to dump CLR all over it to see how much surface rust goes away and how much color is left on it.) Hope you took all of the glass , lenses and trim off of the ones harvested for parts and left behind, anything that could be saved. They are rare and survivors could use the bits to get back on the road again.

[@WoodyFixit]

The Kaiser Travelers /Frazier Vagabond were so cool. Great additions to the Rust Ranch.

[@ernielaw]

Vagabond would be a good name to bring back.

[@cdradmaker]

I'm so glad you went back and saved those cars!

[@wolfgangricky]

You went back & got the Nash !!! I just wish i was more solvent right now, for i really like that bathtub. Ty for taking us along

[@joelguest3573]

Congratulations on getting those second batch of cars from Texas!

[@beatglauser9444]

I am SO HAPPY seeing that you return to save those cars! It hurt me seeing that they were left behind.I nearly thought that they were bound to be crushed. Now I will watch the rescue. Amazing how solid the frames looked. I think Texas climate is good for old cars.

[@genesiesky3756]

Loved seeing the Kaisers. One of my favorite cars.

[@williamking6531]

I want to tell you, Joe and Tim, that I am so happy to see that you came back for those two cars. Especially that Nash. I've been thinking about that car since the last video thinking it would be crushed and gone forever. Both those cars were around when I was a child and I thought when seeing them how ugly they were. But now as an "old man" I have a new appreciation for them. Would love to see them restored, specially the Nash. I would bet both those cars could be rented for weddings and as a chauffeur driven vehicles, or perhaps in parades. And want to say Joe you are one hard-working guy. And Tim I know you are extremely knowledgable and put out great effort, but can't compete with Joe's energy. After this video and the fact you went back to save those cars I have a whole new appreciation for you both. Keep up the fantastic work. I'll be looking forward to your next video.

[@rayeddy528]

Thank for sharing! Good stuff! That Joe sure is a hard worker!!! God bless you all!!!! Eddy

[@tedquaker954]

Well done....that's quite an effort by you guys! Awesome.

[@leedaniels7196]

Thanks for the videos Tim!.👍😎 Always interesting finds!.

[@Annlockettthornton]

I watch you so much it feels like we're family . You are a hero for saving those old beautys. You remind me of our bunch here in Alabama . Keep on doing what your doing . Much respect from Alabama

[@mr.goodpliers6988]

Thanks for your kind words, and thank you for stopping by the channel!

[@jeffclark2725]

Thumbs up,great video,even drizzle doesn't slow you down, enjoying getting to come along on the rescue of these cars

[@dalesmith112]

Set an old car / truck wheel (tire off) under the chain, just in front of the car you're pulling.....as you pull forward, it will offer bit of lift to the car. Just have to make sure you don't pull the vehicle up on to it. Dad and I used that trick for years back when we had a salvage yard.

[@dyer2cycle]

Heart of Texas Barnfinds and Classics uses that method all the time...

[@mr.goodpliers6988]

It works great for little saplings too

[@JosephAtkins-sp7bi]

I love all your videos, this one is the Crown Jewle. Thank You !!

[@seansiman9116]

I’m glad you saved those two

[@davidelack8809]

I have that same 1951 Ambassador absolutely love it! Super cool Fraziers, Bless you guys!

[@TedLakeX-uk8fh]

Good job Joe! I was hoping you and Tim would hop in the rig and retrieve these!

[@junkmannythewitch7295]

Mortske has a battery sponsor program, maybe you and Joe need a pants sponsor program? This kind of work is hell on clothes. I've been essentially wearing rags for 30 years, even mistaken for homeless street person a few times . great recovery That nash is the one car I always wanted but never had...too late now. Great recovery

[@unclemarksdiyauto]

Ambassadors and Kaiser Fraisers! Those are 2 unique brands. Glad you found some neat stuff.

[@davidg813]

That Nash would make a neat Yellow Taxi

[@RustyInventions-wz6ir]

What a find. Beautiful cars. Great projects. A lot of work. Great job

[@tyhogue8316]

I think that those cars are beautiful!👍

[@KarlGillcrist]

Thanks for saving as much as you could those brands of cars aren't around every corner...keep up the good work I admire your passion and knowledge for all things automotive...Karl from eastern Canada

[@jody1skinobe314]

Apologies for doubting you would leave that Nash behind 🍻 what an epic effort to get them out 👏

[@nsidor1234]

Keep a bunch of recip saw 'pruning blades' handy for those cut backs... Thanks for the great content brother, ALWAYS a good watch ! 👍🏁 Watching that majestic looking Kaiser crawl up onto your rig was some satisfying sh**...👍🏁

[@josephs44]

Yeah, we had the pruning blades for the sawzall, the tree was just too big. Those blades aren't really made for wood that big. In the future I'm going to remember to bring my chainsaw.

[@philipdecatanzaro1822]

Tim. I'm glad you brought back the Nash and the hatchback Kaiser. You don't see these anywhere. I'm curious to know what other vehicles do those OD transmissions fit in. I'm constantly amazed by how driven Joe is. There's no stopping him. He's quite a determined individual. What relation is he to you? Following you for years.

[@debbiebermudez5890]

Mr. B. Here ! ☕️☕️😎👀👍. That is so cool , I can not remember seeing those vehicles 🚗🚗🚗. Nice job !

[@jeffsmith846]

Dang Joe works hard. Glad you saved these and I hope someone can use some parts in the future. I had a similar weight problem as Tim. I enlisted in the Air Force in 1973 and was 6'5" and weighed 160 lbs. You probably won't have to worry about putting on weight until you are in your 40s

[@patdesrosiers6423]

Great job saving those cars. The bathtub Nashes are excellent. I worked with a guy who had one his grandfather bought new. All original and beautiful condition aside from thin original paint. They drove it a lot on weekends

[@waynehooper9093]

Bravo! Great saves.

[@GeneralSulla]

I lived in a lower middleclass neighborhood in San Diego. There were a lot of these cars still driving and in the junk yards in the '60's. I remember my dad's '38 Ford when I was five. My Jr High School Councelor gave us rides home in her '48 Chevy. My first car was a Chevy '63 Biscayne 3 on the tree with a 283. The poor man's hot rod!

[@user-Rich-1969]

Glad to see you went back for the Nash, Far to good to leave there,, Really enjoy watching what you both get up to. So much stuff still out there in the USA, Cheers Rich in Australia.

[@mr.goodpliers6988]

Thanks for stopping by the channel Rich! And thank you for your kind words!

[@suewatson1912]

Tim ..... With those dimensions and the new haircut you could be a supermodel and strut the catwalk.

[@NileKelly]

Always loved the "underdogs." Kaiser, Frazer, Nash, DeSoto, etc.. Yes, I love everything from the Big Three, but if it weren't for those under-appreciated dogs, we would not have the vintage chronology and genealogy of what we are into from that era. They begat alot. Last 2 "underdogs" I wrenched on: 55 Rambler/Nash/Hudson wagon, and a 57 DeSoto, with a 341 Hemi. Those 2 "uncool kids in the classroom" actually rip now. Revenge Of The Nerds on 4 wheels. I just enjoy rescueing and reviving things that nobody else works on. At 15:30:00, did that one come with a tree on the three?

[@daviddamico4288]

Tim ,I would love to see a first start on one of these cars .that would be awesome.. glad you got what you wanted …..

[@liljoeii6091]

Thank you for the video

[@jeffryblackmon4846]

Have you investigated using those elastic type of tow straps? They seem to work well. Glad you've saved those cars. Well done, determined lads! This is a fine video.

[@michaelj-c5g]

You guys should stop in sunset tx. and rescue the two 58 pontiacs they are getting ready to crush. These cars are pretty rare and deserve to be saved.

[@raymondpavao8035]

That video was a really good one. Very cool cars. To bad there all disappearing with the homesteads.

That’s great you guys saving these cars

[@TairnKA]

That "hatchback" is kewl. ;-) Maybe someone will restore it (if possible) or retromod it? It's a shame you can't save them all. If I was a collector, it would have been dashboards (center consoles).

[@alkennedy1124]

Oh it rained 13, plus inches in 2 days out here, poured last night again, this mounth 10.3 inches of rain so far, kool thanks BigAl California,,,,

[@davidg813]

I was hoping you guys would go back and get that Nash that's kind of a rare car you don't see many of those around anywhere

[@dalesmith112]

I think you guys should try something like a Yankum rope. I've seen those kinetic energy straps like that do some amazing pulls.... and way less harsh that chain snatches. Just a thought.

[@jeffpearson5581]

That little garage that you said was missing at your 14:00 minute mark wasn't destroyed or blow away. Silas from Adventures Made from Scratch got it. I don't remember if he bought it or they just gave it to him. But he plans on using it for wall art. You know Silas he see's wall art in everything.

[@greggordon120749]

Well done on saving those two including the first hatchback. Why did it take so long for them to catch on?

[@squablow]

Well done, glad to see the two cars pulled intact and the other 3 at least get stripped, would be sad to see them get crushed whole without getting picked over first.

[@georgeweisbrod1876]

Why didn't you take the back bumpers , tail light assemblies and trunk lids with chrome lift handles?

[@josephs44]

Video doesn't show all that we got, but all of the die cast trim was too pitted to be of any use. None of the plastics inside the cars were any good either, sadly. Bumpers were all bent and sheet metal on all the cars was rusted through due to sitting under trees/leaves for the last 40 years.

[@garyruark9506]

Lazy Mr. Goodpliers figured out running the camera precludes him having to do actual work. Those Nashs and the Hudsons or that era were cool. They were good cars and should have sold better. What they needed was a V8.

[@dyer2cycle]

Their straight sixes were pretty good...especially the Hudsons...when I was younger, I thought everything needed a V8...as I have become older, I have come to really appreciate inline sixes...the torque, the smooth power, and the unique sound....not a huge fan of V6's, though....
