[@PatandDoopypoopy]

I'm a 54 year old lifer hotrodder. Thank for old skool gangster content I relate with. Health and wellness for you and yours. FYI I daily drive a 71 vega panel with a roller 350.

[@StayTunedTA]

Sounds like a killer ride! I’m in that Dodge as I type this! Thanks for watching!

[@Brock_Landers]

Man, I am a 40 year old hotrodder, but my hotrod usually had a turbocharged 4 cylinder under the hood. I now have a 2013 BMW 128i that I drive as a daily and it's really nice and runs great with low mileage, but I'm DYING to turbocharge it. However, if I come across some extra cash I'd be 120% down with buying a 60s-70s Mopar. I LOVE the big body Polaras and I'd love to get one with a 383 or a 440, but mine would HAVE to have an A833 4 speed manual...or a Tremec 5 speed manual, a Sure Grip, and possibly a set of 3.55 gears with AC.

[@ryurc3033]

My uncle has a 72 Vega panel. Solid lifter 327, th350, and a far too wide 9 inch rear. It has 8 inches of custom flairs on the back, air shocks, 10 wide slotted mags , and skinnys up front, true old school street freak.

[@Brock_Landers]

Basically I grew up in Florida and when I left there to move to Pittsburgh imports were just starting to become popular modern hotrods, and it all changed for me when the first Fast and Furious came out when I was 18. I traded my 302W swapped, supercharged, jacked up with 33x12.50s and chrome bullethole wheels 1994 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer for a bone stock 1992 Acura Integra GS with a full mint condition leather interior and I turbocharged it piece by piece. It went on to make 257 whp at 10 psi on a bone stock 134k mile engine. I put slicks on the front and it ran a 12.4 @ 122 mph on an old Dodge Daytona T3 turbo that was seized when I bought it and I paid $50 for...😂😂😂

[@PatandDoopypoopy]

The vegs has fats and skinnier. It's vega proper. But missing gear drive. That will be rectified come rainy weather. It's a proper 80s hotrod. Be well, hotrodders. Wheels to the ground -after a proper holeshot of course. Oh and yes has slot mags and wlt bfg's

[@andrewapperson6722]

I'm glad that you explained the whole Ammeter thing. When I was a kid, I couldn't figure how that would work without running everything through it, but I thought "nobody would be that stupid". I guess I was wrong!

[@StayTunedTA]

Which one of the floor pans? LOL!

[@roywhitman7109]

@StayTunedTA I'm guessing under the driver/passenger cabin where you had installed the tranny! Frame rails & floor pans looked pretty solid! I have been watching the progression since you first aquired it. I do know there were repairs especially the firewall. It looks pretty good!

[@ericjohnnelson7420]

I don’t know why but watching y’all build cars is so satisfying to me. Hands down this is in my top 3 car channels. Tony and the boys are badass!

[@StayTunedTA]

Hey, thanks so much! I really appreciate it!

[@davesmopargarage657]

You should have run a 65 transmission - they are still cable shift (will work with the push buttons) but have a slip yoke so you can run a conventional driveshaft. If you can find a 65 transmission - big block or small block, use the guts from it to rebuild and modify your old 64 with the slip yoke output and tail shaft from your old 64 transmission.

[@StayTunedTA]

I was just happy to find something I could my hands on and it’s working so well!

[@dennyo3992]

My dads first new car was a '64 Polara with a 383, gone before I could remember it (born in '65.) I do remember his '68 slant six Coronet that was his daily for years. I'll never forget the sound of a Mopar gear reduction starter!

[@bgee461]

Not gonna lie, ive made a mess of new carpet installs before... it isnt as easy as one might think. You guys banged it out.

Great episode, I can’t wait to see what happens on the road trip

It’s happening now! Ha

[@ledsled01]

I had a 64 Coronet 440, back in the late 70s. We called it "Trash On The Dash" like 4 on the floor, and 3 on the tree. Mine had a 318 but it was a kick to drive with that oval steering wheel. Love the content, boys.

[@NoWr2Run]

[@garyslentzii2796]

That diod trick was slick. Have a great road trip guys.

[@button-puncher]

Diodes are really handy. What Tony didn't mention is how to hook them up. 48:14 There's a band around the diode on one end. You want that end connected to the thing that you want to isolate. So in this case the band end goes to the ignition module, the other end goes to the starter relay/solenoid. A diode's electrical symbol looks like --->|--- sort of like an arrow pointing to a line. The arrow shows the direction of he current. The line is the band. Technically, arrow end is the anode(+), band end is the cathode(-). Also, diodes can get HOT if there's a lot of amps flowing through them all the time. Something to keep in mind and check when you use them.

[@garyslentzii2796]

@button-puncher Thank you for that detailed explanation. I'm not versed in electronics. I would never have known that. My buddy works on electronics & I'm always amazed of what he can fix.

[@jasonsell8523]

[@josephkelly4893]

Good to see Tony had the heavy end of the transmission when they dropped it off the jack, otherwise the young fella would have gotten folded in half lol Peace, great build gents

[@boomerbassmeme]

So cool! The terror of the streets back in the early 80s in my neighborhood was a 64 Polara. Black and gold with gold Keystone classics and a 426 wedge under the hood. Looked kind of like the Batmobile and blew doors off!

[@stevemadak6255]

Top 3 favs right now in no particular order ; Vice Grip Garage , some of the Hagerty stuff and Stay Tuned. I say this as I just came in from changing the springs on my Vortec 4.3 over to Beehive springs(heads on car, PITA). Put the new cam in and then tried to put the timing set I bought but the big gear is wrong. I want this cam 4degrees advanced. Think I will degree it with the old timing set and if its close Ill just send back the wrong/adjustable one and hopefully find a double roller in town here.

[@StayTunedTA]

Thanks for watching!

[@Blowinshiddup]

Don't know why YooToob didn't bring you up on my feed, Tony. Between Vice Grip, Roadkill, Finnegan,etc that's what fills my day! I'm in!

[@StayTunedTA]

I dunno, this video started pretty soft, not sure why!

[@SteveP-vm1uc]

@StayTunedTA : Tony, a few things . 1) You should have looked for a 1965' twin cable tranny. The difference is in the tail shaft. In 65', the 727's went to the later models slip joints, just like everyone else used.. 2) 1966 and newer is the real choice for most of us 62-65 guys. Reason being, the twin cables tent to stretch and fail.. You may put the car into PARK and walk away and get passed by your car that you THOUGHT you left in Park!!!!! Also, with the 66' and newer, you can use nearly any aftermarket shifter in the World.. That, of course, means positive shifting and positive PARK!!!! Also lock out and whatever you want to spend the cash on. 3) The difference in the 62-65 tranny/convertors, is the input spline. Going to the later model is DEFFFFFFINETLY the way to go. 4) Check out MAD ELECTRICAL for the best in rewiring an old mopar. These cars going up in flames is REAL. You touched on some of it in this video, but your watchers, I'm sure, need a great lesson on it.. This would be a great HOW TO video for you to do on this car.. It will also help your charging situation and you will have nice, bright headlights as well..... 5) considering this car is cool and it looks like one you will keep, how about doing a video in shortening the rear end??? These cars look BAD ASS with FAT ASS TIRES on the rear and with a bit of wheel well work, (to the frame), you can fit some serious meets under her.... Also, consider joining the 62-65 B body group on FB.... Tone of great info in there....

[@vincentenk4449]

So '65 had a slip yoke AND cables, including the 904?

[@SteveP-vm1uc]

@@vincentenk4449 Yes.... Then in 66' they went to linkage shifters. 67' and newer went to a higher count of input shaft splines, so you have to make sure you alllllllways count before ordering a convertor.

[@SteveP-vm1uc]

@@vincentenk4449 YES....

[@geebopbaluba1591]

My 64 440 has the column shifter but it does has a blank off plate over the spot where the buttons could have been. It’s also a 383 power steering power brakes and 727 automatic.

I've been really enjoying this build. I've watched you since early HRG days. This is a cool build, but "unconventional." It's not a poster car camaro, cuda or mustang and im all for it. Stoked for this series! Its certainly opened my eyes to cool builds that dont have to ruin the wallet.

[@puddleduckist]

Such a cool ol mopar Tony! The push-button tranny's are definitely cool and different! It's cleaning up nice! Safe travels with it and don't forget to do a huuuuge burnout for me!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@StayTunedTA]

Thanks so much! Having a blast putting this stuff out.

[@mikedimaio1237]

Always wondered how the push button trans worked, nice job showing that and the diode trick was brilliant.

[@GeekGinger]

It wasn't just Mopars with ammeters. Plenty of GMs and Fords had them too including my 71 Camaro. You're totally right that they were horrible ideas. Luckily later second gen Camaros had voltage gauges so I could replace mine easily.

[@Suburbanhotrods]

I bought my 64 polara when I was 15 now I’m 23, I’ve been watching roadkill/hotrod garage since I was 13, so it’s so much fun to watch you deal with the early b body stuff cause I’ve always wanted one of you guys to do so. My car is 64 4dr hardtop with a 383/451 bbm was a push button transmission car swapped to a a833 4spd, gutted the interior. Has the usual cowl and minor floor rot, the left front fender is barely attached but the structure is solid. It is annoying tho anything early b body related is like 30% more than later mopar stuff. It’s extremely fun to watch this series so excited for more episodes

[@StayTunedTA]

That sounds like a wicked car! Really glad I got my hands on one and it's fun to dig into stuff I've never worked on before like the pushbutton. That 451 must scream!

[@Suburbanhotrods]

@@StayTunedTA I definitely would love to see a manual swap in the car, the a833 stuff is prohibitively expensive nowadays tho so a good 5spd would be cool. My 833 was a junk core that have like $1500 into just parts cause my labor was free. I do know some guys that are all into the early B body stuff who are local to eastern pa, and a some guys around me on LI. The push button stuff is really cool in a novelty since, best part you can bump start them like a manual it was the advertised feature of them.

My first car back in 1973 was a 1964 2 door Chrysler Windsor hard top. It had the pushbutton shift ,rectanguler stearing wheel and 361 cammando engine. If you did a hard stop from over 60 mph the brakes would be fading before you stopped lol!

[@button-puncher]

That fire sleeve, it's good to have it fit loosely. Then you've got an air gap to further insulate from the heat. Ammeters are good but, yeah, you've got to run a meter with an external shunt. Really nice to see if charging is working and to see parasitic draw. Super cool to see you keep the push button trans. Thanks for another great episode. :)

[@danielvick7875]

Great idea with the carpet tape, but what we have found with new carpet is after a car has been cured in the paint booth is lay it out in front of the fan!
