RAT INFESTED: Reviving A Locked Up 1962 American Rambler | Will It Run After 50 Years? | Turnin Rust

[@thomaswermager1819]

Again! Your persistence pays off. When that old engine barked off, and idled! And then, moved! I hope there’s more coming on this one! Awesome! Thank You for bringing this one back!

[@chadshidler8903]

I always enjoy your family's video my friends. I used to be a gear head to and this brings back memories for me. Unfortunately I am Disabled at 56 years old with health issues and can no longer do this. Thank you for sharing and please keep them coming.

[@je356]

In 1962 Cadilliac introduced the dual master cylinder, Rambler followed suit and used it on your Ambasssador as well in the same yeasr. That car has potential, you guys do great service. Thanks.

[@hollowpoint357sw4]

The reason I love this channel is because you guys don’t give up you tear these engines all the way down to get those cylinders to move. 👍🏻

[@HANZELVANDERLAAY]

I know...they keep going.... winning...ur winning 🎉🎉

[@ZanyJIntPictures]

This revival of the Rambler is another awesomme example of why you're channel is aptly named "TURNIN RUST!" "GIT R DONE!!!" GreatbJob!!!!

[@seandayma]

It's awesome seeing Christian getting involved with this build.

[@wmdavis007]

I've always liked those little Ramblers, great to see y'all got it back up and running. Thank you so much for the new video...can't wait for more. And as always, your video quality is second to none...and even the music. Love you guys...stay safe.

[@jetstreek17]

Thanks for the replay of an old video. This one was one of my favorites.

[@ronbunker5778]

I would have never believed you'd get that running as well as you did! Awesome!

[@Castrucksandtractors]

The first car I ever got running was a 62 rambler that had been sitting under a tree for 15 yrs at my Grandpas it was the car my dad and brothers had driven to school. It was also the car I learned to drive in and how to drive a 3on the tree . Now that I'm in my 50s I wish I had kept it but a 68 c10 had my attention back then . Love the video hearing it run brought back alot of memories. Nice to see Christian again its cool that the whole family got involved in this one

[@roypowell3450]

Great to Christian on the other side of the lens 👍very good! Glad the car runs and looks pretty sharp..Cheers for now...

[@Barbarra63297]

At my age it's a pleasure to hear these cars come back to life, especially when you rode in so many of them!

[@photosrain4351]

I really am enjoying my quiet Shabbatt watching you two! I remember back when you could buy cars like this for 50.00 all day long ! Good old 80's!

[@everton2050]

Good afternoon, I'm talking here about Brazil, part of Rio Grande do Sul, I love your channel, one day I'll go to your country, I want to be able to meet this top duo, hugs

[@rexkean]

I will say... I didn't have any hope in this thing running! Ya'll impressed me

[@terryeustice5399]

Lance and Wyatt. None of these are easy. But you men know what exactly what to do. Christian great video. I thought the DeLorean was the toughest ever. But, you men said this was. But the clean up inside was horrible. Christian dove right in there.Thanks for sharing. 💯👊👍💕

[@Oyvind88]

Great one guys😀

[@MarvinHowell-k4u]

You guys make the best "Will it run" videos. Some of the places you pick them up give me the Willies. I wouldn't be able to work for looking for snakes. 😂

[@1978JonBullock]

Great to see all three of the Kraven family getting involved.

[@PopataCorry-ok2ob]

Cool mate like your style.. keep up the good work 👍

[@johncase2345]

Great video. I really liked that you did not give up and actually got the motor running and it sounded good!

[@CircleM20]

Cool little car, I'd clean it up and make it safe if I had the money. It's nice to see Christian in front of the camera doing that 'relaxing work'.

[@JoeFilardi]

[@mr.redhat5702]

I thought that place looked familiar! At 33:21 you can see Vice Grip Garage's Red 35 Ford truck rat rod in the background before he drove it home. Really cool thing to see! Shows when this video was recorded.

[@steveshoemaker6347]

You fellers are amazing to watch......The old AMC Rambles is finally running......Thank very much and GOD BLESS Old F-4 Phantom fighter jet pilot Shoe🇺🇸

[@POSTAPRILSIXTH]

Very good project. I saw the whole thing start to finish. I even lit up a QUORUM Short MADURO PREMIUM cigar. 2/3rd of the way. Through watching the VLOG!

[@Dovey84]

Welcome back to another great video 🇬🇧

[@d.g.williams]

Surprised yall got it started, good job

[@PeckerwoodKustoms]

Love these vids and the opportunities you guys get to grab and reno these old cars...some easier than others but damn it makes great viewing

[@jonathancharrington3410]

Absolutely brilliant as always hands of gods when it comes to these cars and vans. What would be your dream old car to work on in the shop turning rust? ❤

[@AZVIDS]

Wow that was incredible! Nice work👍

[@visnichba]

My parents had the two-door version of the same car. Also 3 on the tree and a 1962. My Dad bought it from a drugstore in St.Louis that had used it for deliveries. It was white and the crease (where the door handles are) was light blue for its full length.We loved that car! We had named it 'Piglet' after the Winnie The Pooh character. My folks sold it in the mid-1970s for $30 when it needed too many repairs and had some bad rust.

[@ronaldgebo7233]

Love it,great Car and all of you are wonderful,God bless you. Till next time!

[@robertvance1873]

I definitely remember this car and they weren't the most popular or glamorous little car's ever produced They do have a really cool look to them, Good Job you All, I'd love to see it fixed up because it definitely wants to live.

[@kwqd54]

Nice work. Cute little car. If the floors are solid, worth saving.

[@RustyInventions-wz6ir]

Very nice work. That was n big job. You have saved yet another. Great. God Bless

[@ClydePodvin]

Man I just love these old ramblers, not muscle cars or anything. Just good ol American classics. 😊

[@snagmaster1]

God has blessed your family, keep up the good work, love the show

[@JohnPridgen]

This reminds me of the Opel you did some years ago.

[@jeremyconway5793]

Once again great work guys.greetings from sth Australia 🇦🇺 👍 🐨🦘🪃🐪🙏

[@fraserobrien3828]

wow a miracle ,man nice job .

[@wesleypulkka7447]

TR, there was an old TV show called "bring 'em back alive Frank Buck". He'd capture wild animals in the jungle for zoos. You guys find hulks in the bushes and bring 'em back to life! What a save of a car that looked too far gone but you drove it! Congrats + Cheers!

[@Panosser]

I love every video love from Greece!

[@curtisharper7042]

I’ve watched about 30 episodes of this show. And I can only recall that there was only 1 time, that this father and son duo had to throw in the white towel.

[@tKoenig-gf3xc]

Good compost!

[@itsjustbrisk709]

wish you guys could come and fix my 1958 Plymouth Belvedere lol. love the videos!

[@abelardocastillo6683]

Thank goodness down here in west Texas we ain't got all that rust and mouse problem.sure enjoy ya'll. Keep it up

[@jasonmartin2781]

These guys are located here in east Texas. Maybe that car came from a northern state back in the day.

[@shanewright6958]

Another great video 👍👍

[@WolfmanJack66]

Excellent revive. You guys never give up. God Bless you and yours

[@euth]

love this - reminds me of some of the classic smaller british cars of that period. would love to see what it looks like with a full resto

[@jimrobin98]

You were very lucky to find someone to sell you just 1 piston for that old dog! There isn't many of them old cars around to warrant a need for parts!

[@BillHilly69]

I about halfway suspected you guys will find a car one day with a rod thrown through the side of the block and STILL get it to run. Good job as always!!

[@marionicholas9624]

Hi Brother I love your videos from India God bless you and your family

[@GregoryBamber]

I love Hudson cars, the little Rambler is cool too.

[@jeremyconway5793]

WOW..that rambler would've been the heaviest one going around. Greetings from sth Australia 🇦🇺 👍 🐨🦘🪃🐪

[@2coolwheels139]

I remember seeing this when you guys first published it. One of my favorites, because despite how locked up that piston was, you never gave up! That's what I call dedication. Too bad the rest of the little car is so rusty. Are you guys going to put floors in it one day?

[@danielheartsill4269]

The dip stick is under the oil filler cap. Those were very good and reliable cars. Also great MPG. You will notice some things that are in that car that came later in the rest of names.

[@michaeldavis8249]

Man can’t see how you guys can wear those black shirts in that hot sun. another great video from you guys. God bless.

[@troyadams1076]

Brother that was another great video

[@warrenbourne498]

It good to see Christina get into the cars you Done a great job cleaning that filthy car out Christina

[@Dovey84]

If anybody can get that engine running the condition it was in you both can this is why I like your channel 😊

[@johnr2918]

Look out shes doing a great job, might take over the show!

[@josephhaynie4398]

Great job again

[@Ellis157]

When she was vacuum out behind the passenger seat in the rear and that hole in the rear seat I was waiting for a rat had to come out or a snake or something I was waiting for it like all man could you imagine kudos to you guys for cleaning that thing holy cow

[@allenmkent9141]

A seized crank most likely means seized, corroded rings in the engine. Sometimes turned bearings. Breaking the crank loose with this solution or that does not 'cure' the main issue. Short-cut start-uppers usually break things, do more damage like bending piston and push rods without solving the root problem and waste productive time. It's not hard to take a starter all the way apart to clean and refresh it's contact and lubrication points. Alternators, generators, distributor, oil pump, carburetors, All fun to disassemble, refresh and give it a clean start. Pushing a seized piston out thru the corroded, rusty top-end is not sensible. It will resist and cause damage to a piston. The right and proper way; The engine gets pulled without further ado. Instead of being "the worst case scenario", the fun begins. The crank gets unbolted first. All pistons are pushed out the bottom end using wood pounding block on the seized ones. Never a direct blow with a hammer. Just fixing the rings of one piston locked with crudd and corrosion is not the common sense thing to do. The mechanic with self-integrity and self-respect gleefully addresses them all. lol. He loves it. The rings get carefully removed and cleaned, the ring grooves cleaned, engine block and parts cleaned and inspected. Journals, cylinder bores and ring wear measured for viability. Cylinder gets honed and ridge reamed if new rings are required. The head disassembled, cleaned, inspected. When the parts are within tolerance of viability, you know it will run, the necessary repairs are made, the valves reseated, and reassembly goes forward. That was always the fun stuff! I never found it to be tedious work or to be avoided over a little impatience.

[@CliffordRainwater]

I like your work .

[@colinl9018]

Thought that motor was going to become a boat anchor, well done on getting it running.

[@eugenionegron4828]

Guys, You should have removed the Crank then deal with the pistons pushing them up or Down. I love your program, May God Bless you and your Families.

[@jamesroets800]

Love this channel! But I have a suggestion - take some of your other cars, restore them to be roadworthy and have a sale with them, or give them away via lottery. What you guys do is awesome, but you have tons of other content you need to do something with. Just a thought. I love the camera work that Christian does. She's always moving, making the build more dynamic in context - movement equals work.

[@spaceghost8995]

The first cars I remember my Dad having back in the 1960's were an old Willy's truck and a 1963 Rambler Classic. Straight-six 3 on the column manual everything. My Mom DESPISED both of them so he bought her a loaded Galaxie 500. 😂😂

[@Powerstroke98]

It's nice to get some female perspective on these cars! You'll have to get your sister in more of these video's Lance, as she adds to the voice stream, with some different perspectives on the thoughts of the car itself, and its cleanliness. Always look forward to your video's, and a big thanks, as I can imagine how much time is put in on the editing of it as well. I'm another I'm sure, of Canadians that watch your video's, over here on the west coast of British Columbia!

[@leewalker3514]

Wow great job that’s rare that it has a sea on it very rare

[@carlgrahangahan3418]

That would make an an excellent drag car

[@howardanderson9386]

Good job on getting running

[@edrickett9827]

I got a story for you guys. In autumn of 1978 I was 19 and I lived in Powell Wyo. I worked at Max's supermarket for $3.50 and hour. I bought a '64 Rambler Embassador from an aquaintance of a close friend. It cost me 50 bucks. It hadn't been driven for 10 years or so. I put a battery in it and drove it all winter. I had to put a water pump in it that winter. I changed the oil in it once. In the spring I went to live with my brother and his family in Las Vegas. I drove it down there and used it for a delivery car at his TV rental and repair business for a year. Long story short that car was fun to drive. It had a 327 police engine automatic tranny and I think a positrac rearend I wish I still had that car.

[@dynomitegliatti7811]

IC, in 1962 the Rambler American had a 196 ci L-head as a base engine and a 196 ci OHV engine as an option.

[@Olson2BW]

The COOLER cars were the ones that were in the beginning of the video from BEFORE the 1960s. That's the cars that I would love to see you fix up and get working. If you did and I lived near Texas and I had room, those would be the cars that I would have been interested in buying and would be more interested in watching you fix up and get running and driving down the road. If the older cars don't have engines in them, I'm sure there would be plenty of people that would be willing to buy them if you put a motor in it and got it running and driving down the road.

[@MikeWillis-sp6vj]

I hope your successful at getting the motor to free up and be a really cool old car to head back on the road

[@SnegHepadaet]

Came here to write, that ive seen this car about 3 years ago at your show, and then checked out the discription😅

[@danielheartsill4269]

Rambler/AMC had a great reputation for fantastic engines. I don't know when they started but the straight six had seven main bearings and would run for ever. I put over two hundred thousand on several of them without a major problem. I wish we could still buy AMC.

[@PapiDoesIt]

Those engines ate head gaskets. My dad had a Rambler with that engine and it got great gas mileage but the head gasket issue was tough. It's from a design flaw; the head would get too hot before the thermostat would open.

[@raymondfiandaca]

This would a be cool car with a small block, deserves to be restored.

[@LeonardMagnusson]

if i remember right. those seats recline into a bed. mine did in my wagon. bed from front to back. "cool old cars."

[@richardalonzo5768]

I’ve freed these before by removing the dust cover for the torque converter and using a flywheel wrench on the teeth in conjunction with the starter. It always worked for me unless a bearing locked it up.

[@seandayma]

That looks like the cars Sleeperdude buys. Rats nests from the ground up.

[@johnoneill9539]

Well saved🤷‍♂️

[@mvdnbos]

Crazy you can drive around that truck with wheels sticking out like that !

[@TESPOU812]

Looks like its time for a new shop vac filter. LOL

[@LeonardMagnusson]

some of us put and over drive on the back.they were really nice work cars.

[@PrattsWorkshop]

My first (restore) on a car was a 62 Rambler 2 door in that body style. Got hard up for money and had to sell it, it got totaled by the new owner two weeks later.

[@Darylatlarge]

She sure washed that car .. Got all the stains😅😅😅
