Yessir!!

[@2ToneWalt]

Brother, you really are a credit to the car community, its obvious you really know your stuff and how things should be done but also realise that cars need to be driven. The Silver Dollar Chevy really is proof of yours and JD's abilities and passion. Great job boys. 🤘👍

[@roadwarrior8213]

I have to say that whenever I recommend someone this channel. I recommend this series, because anyone who can take that rusty pile of sheet metal, and turn it into what it is today should not only earn my respect, but the whole of the internet's. The future unlike burned out halogen bulbs is very bright!!

[@wingdwolf56]

Ahhh. “The Saga of the Silver Dollar Chevy” What a fantastic movie! The story of a man with true grit and determination, great skills, and a bit of money, taking a K10 destined for the grave and transforming it into a Mecum Auction ready work of art!!! 5 ⭐️s

[@redrobin41]

I'm a die hard Ford guy, but watching you and JD put that square body back together is inspiring to the car hobby we hold dear. Excellent work as always, Dalton!

[@aricp9173]

You did a lot of work on a truck that probably would have be considered a parts truck by most people. This truck was my introduction to your channel and I'm glad to be here. It's good to see it finished and getting a new life. I can't wait to see what's coming up next.

[@terrallputnam7979]

I love that this was a Grandfather, Son, and Grandson project. This makes me wish I knew even more about fixing up old cars to share with my son.

I literally just finished watching the playlist on this build again. Loved it.

​@@PoleBarnGarage dude got a nice truck. Id like to see some more of these kinds of builds.

I watched the whole series but after seeing this video began to understand how much work was put in to resurrecting this truck. Thanks for the great videos and all your work Dalton.

[@erikhedin1454]

Amazing transformation. Probably my favorite among all your vehicles.

[@coonlakebackwoods]

Dalton thank you for keeping it real and remiding us that its more important to just save it and get it going within our ability. This truck was a great save and I enjoyed following your build of this truck.

[@cwbintn8949]

Watching this restoration from beginning to end the first time around was delightful, and so is this vid. I love love LOVE these old squarebodies so much. Thank you for giving that old girl a new lease on life. Also I put one of your stickers on the visor of my 07 Mustang and it instantly got like 5 more hrsprs btw.

[@danielmorris3377]

Loved this one! Hate it had to go so quickly. Would have like to see you and your son ride it and keep it! I love it when old cars/trucks actually get painted, even if it is tractor paint. One of the best attributes about your channel! There are so many channels going through mechanics and doing will it runs but not ever doing that final touch. Great vid

[@darrylowens9298]

From a wreck to a driving vehicle that looks awesome ! Tremendous amount of work you guys did !

[@garrypritchard422]

One of the best restoration videos I’ve seen in a long time. Keep up the good work.

[@TylerMartin-bf9yb]

This is my favorite video of a completely clapped out rust bucket looking really really nice. I’ve followed this build from the beginning even when Kevin first got it and i thought to myself that thing is done for

As soon as firewood cutting season is over I'm going to start on the other side. This series has rekindled my motivation. Thanks Dalton!

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Hell yeah brother

[@tdbeltz2]

That is the best video I have seen you do. You actually made it look nice and took your time and did not drive the crude out of it at the end. Great job! I am impressed.

[@makad2675]

Remarkable resurrections from PBG. A classic, well done sir. Your determination to completion has been nothing short of admirable.

[@is0p0d]

my favorite series on youtube for a long time now! would sit down with my dinner and force my fiance to watch with me every time a new episode would come out - you inspired me to start hunting for my own junkers to get out on the road again. The only problem is i fall in love with every one i get 😭

[@cwp1alpha]

Excellent resurrection on this rusty old square body. Just further proof REAL men don't need overpriced $80k trucks when diehard fellas like you bring these trucks back to life. Looks 100% top notch! 👍

[@paulweigle6872]

The silver dollar Chevy was one of my favorite projects. Can't wait for the 4x4 van.

[@KiwiStag74]

It's been a while since we saw that project and it was great to see all the highlights of the build from start to finish. I'd completely forgotten just how rotten that cab was at the beginning - and it was truly shocking, eh! Seeing you give the engine a rev as you and JD were getting ready to go for the first drive and watching the cab twist and compress so bad that the door moved out of the remains of the frame {{SHUDDER}} Haven't seen scuttle shake that bad since my mates and I cut the roof, pillars and door tops off a rotten old Cortina and try to drive it down the road......and your truck has a frame under it! Compressing the whole series into an hour and a half (more or less) would indeed take an effort. Which bits to leave in or cut, all the splicing of the bits into a new video and leaving enough to ensure it flows. Worth doing and releasing several months after the final episode (as you've done here), but not something I'd do myself with every project due to the sheer effort required....and it would be selfish of us as the viewers to expect it. Glad the truck has gone to a good home. You're right - getting the next generation interested in the old cars is the only way the vehicles will continue to be around. Glad both you and I have young ones that we've managed to infect with the bug! All the best

[@RatsnRods]

It feels weird to me to think that I'm the "next generation" but at 21 I'm glad to keep the tradition goin. I've got an addiction tho, two 70s Honda dirt bikes, a squarebody tow truck, a 56 ford hot rod, a fully built Jeep cherokee, a 50s golf/utility cart, a Harley I haven't touched in months, and many many more squarebodies and Harley's to come. I absolutely love how this build turned out but I absolutely hate bondo, I wouldn't know it was there if I didn't watch this, but i would love to see this baby rebuilt with a perfect cab. I can't wait to see the 4x4 van build, I've been dreaming about a sweet ol van since I ever started loving cars.

[@jaredfarney675]

Ahhhhhh, the Silver Dollar, probably the best "hold my beer" series on YT in a very long time i know of from start to finish. The Silver Dollar is the reason i subscribed and got a membership to support the internet getting proven wrong. And along the way i fell in love with Jaaaags, Candy Vans & LTD's out of principle. 👌🏻🤘🏻🇺🇸

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Hell yeah brother

[@timhardin7287]

Honestly I'm amazed how good it turned out from it's humble beginning's , I can't do body work or dry wall finishing . Hat's off to you I enjoyed watching you make a cab from that nothing floored square body.

[@spikymikie]

So Im guessing that silver dollar is worth more than the square body? But those light weight racing fenders are the bomb! Must save 50 lbs or more. And the flow thru ventilation in the cab is definitly a highly sought after factory option. Great score!

[@tonymeehan7859]

that took a ton of work and hours, and it turned out phenomenal! Well, well done sir. I really appreciated watching the rebuild of this old square body. They are my favorite chev design ever.

[@philiptenenzaph6128]

Being in NY, all we have is rust buckets of junk. It’s inspiring knowing how bad off a truck can be and still be restored by a skilled hand! Love the videos!

[@josephsummers2427]

I'm shocked he dare restore it with that much effort. It started off at Kevins place as like a what - $400 truck? Basically most people would take out the engine and rims off and throw the rest away.

This....this was somethin' else!! Great job all around, you sir are one talented SOB!! I know of no human who would have tackled something of this caliber....most would have let it turn to dust. You did not and both you and JD learned a lot along the way. Amazing, simply amazing 👍❤
