The Truth About Car Projects!

[@wayneheikkila9930]

What you said fits a lot of us. I turned wrench's for years and my hobby is still working on cars. There is no better feeling then fixing that portion of a project. It just makes you want to finish more of it. All it takes is one little piece at a time. Have a great day.

[@junksautomotive]

@wayneheikkila9930 Thanks Wayne! That's a great way to look at it. Jonny Cash did it One Piece at a Time. Must work just fine! Have a good one buddy!

[@jackiedonaldson7718]

I know were you are coming from! I live on a homestead! I have Cows and Chickens to look after! I grow a garden! I’m building a barn! With lumber that I’m sawing with my own saw mill! Doing it at my own pace Mike! “Just have fun!”

[@junksautomotive]

@jackiedonaldson7718 Heck yeah Jack! That's what life is about! Do what you can when you can with what you have. So long as you don't quit, you win!

Great video. I bought my first tri five (57 4 door patina wagon) this January and got it on the road 2 days ago. It was such an awesome feeling to get it driving and watch the people almost break their necks as they stare at it when I drive by or stop and get gas lol. I feel the same as you. Get out there and figure it out. 10 minutes here and there actually add up to progress. Keep pushing forward and you’ll get there. Happy hot rodding everyone 😎

[@junksautomotive]

Thanks Ryan! Congrats on your 57! It is a great feeling and I can't wait to drive mine! Cheers!

That wheel is the base for all great wheels. Love the old school look.🦇

[@junksautomotive]

@dustbat as I do! Thanks Dustbat!

[@paulhare662]

Your "chair" reminded me of something I learned back in 1975. Never sit on a snow tire. If it buckles from your weight, it will pinch your tush and leave a nasty welt.

[@junksautomotive]

😂 Thanks for the warning Paul!

[@InertiaEFT]

100%, I found that with limited space and time, if I didn't have the drive to go into the garage, nothing was getting done to begin with. Looking forward to the Sunday vid 😁

[@junksautomotive]

Hey thanks buddy! Gotta go at it! Sometimes for good or bad even. Just doing something is better then nothing! Cheers! See you Sunday

[@NostalgiaPicker]

Working on my car and figuring out how things work and how to fix them is 👍👍

[@junksautomotive]

That's what it's about. You don't have to know everything there is about cars. You just have to be willing to learn. I learn best with my hands!

[@Zazu2You]

There’s many reasons why we do what we do. Some because and some why not. I enjoy your videos. Cheers!! 😊

I clean/detail and service my vehicles, and my family's and friends as well for free. I conduct repairs and currently building my old hot rod pick-up too. For me its completely different from my day job, and feels like down time/therapy for me. I never have a hard time selling my used stuff, as its usually mint, and my mind feels great. Cheers

[@junksautomotive]

That's what it's all about Bill! Cheers, buddy!

[@TheREALOC1972]

The garage tinkering on my project cars is my solice place.

[@junksautomotive]

@TheREALOC1972 Mine as well. KZbin has changed that a bit but without it, I wouldn't have nearly as much do. Thanks for checking it out!!

[@TheREALOC1972]

@@junksautomotive Yeah I don't usually buy complete rebuilds, Mine are generally running and driving that needs a little tinkering and light work done when I get done I'll sell it for a little more than what i have in it so atleast I make something. I just finished a 77 Buick Skylark that I sold for what I had in it to a one of the young 20 something girls at work and sold it for what I had in it because her husband just up and left her with their 2 year old kid and no car, I let her drive the car for 6 months until I told her make payments so I knew she and the child were good to go. I wasn't really worried about the money in that situation but I kept the car in my name and on my insurance until then.

[@junksautomotive]

​@TheREALOC1972 10-4! Cars are as much about people as can be possible. I've lost my ass helping people but it's always been worth in the end. Aka the MGA I'm restoring. Not mine but for a great friend I think highly of. Means alot to me to be able to do it and make him smile!! Worth it. Just can't do too much of all that 😉

[@59redwing]

My shop is seperate from the house so i can work after everyone else goes to bed.thats when i find the time. I enjoy your channel!

[@junksautomotive]

@59redwing thanks 59! Me as well. If you see a video of me working at night, I've usually worked untill 3 or 4 am. I edit and upload that very video around 6 or 7 am.... get up around 10 or 11 to hang out with the family cuz it's Sunday. 😉 we do what we have to!

[@mariocaraig2712]

Man I thought I was the only person going through what you talked about. What's stopping me now was the heat and my packed garage. I have to move things around and then it's too late to get anything done. I really have to push myself to get a good hour of work on my 1950 Fleetline. Oh and I need to stop sitting on my couch watching KZbin. Lol.

[@junksautomotive]

@mariocaraig2712 That's right Mario! Even if cleaning, moving around stuff is all you got done, that's something towards your goal. I have almost no room with 2 projects at the same time but I'll have to make it work and get off my butt and do something 😉 but hey, keep watching me lol. Thanks buddy. Good luck on that 50!

[@RH-ry2zi]

I am working on a 57 four-door right now. Can you tell me how I can get a title? Thanks. Enjoy your videos.

[@junksautomotive]

@RH-ry2zi Hi Rh! All states have different rules and laws. Indiana isn't the easiest but can be done depending on the circumstances. You'd really have to contact your states DMV and find out what the process is. If your 4 door has a VIN plate, that's a start I would say.

I just wish people would answer there adds on Facebook market place

[@inthegaragejoe]

A guy couldn't get you to walk a feller through the process of how you got your title for us Indiana kids.

[@junksautomotive]

@inthegaragejoe Hey Joe! Welp it's a lot. I went to the DMV and they gave me all the paperwork to fill out and send into my county court to apply for a court date. You basically have to have the state of Indiana give a court order to the dmv to issue you a title. Fill that paperwork out completely, pay the fee (if the paperwork isn't complete they will send it back) the court will issue you a court date. You will have to have a clean vin tag (not reported stolen or shows a title in someone's name) mine was old enough it didn't show as a vin that was in the system. I had a bill of sale from the guy I bought it from. I also had bill of sale from the guy he had it from! That's what helped me. Depends on what county your in. Madison co is one of the easiest I hear. Took me 6 months to get it all done. Your mileage may vary. Good luck!
