TheCorvetteBen 2018 Future Projects & Channel Update!

[@stephenlawrence4362]

That Olds is gorgeous, make a great companion to the Caddy

[@flyjarrett]

My uncle was a Corvette technician in Pittsburgh. One of my earliest childhood memories was him pulling up in the driveway in a ‘77 Vette (black and silver) while on a test drive. The year was 1981 and I just got home from preschool. He asked if I wanted to ride along and I eagerly hopped in, filled by a nice cruise around town.

[@vicmabus1532]

The Olds with the eyelids for sure!

[@jamietaylor1799]

I'm sitting here watching, cracking up. In a previous video, you said if you could, the whole back yard would be full of cars, but your wife won't let you. Looks like she's compromising. Great woman!!!!

[@dunkirchen1940]

That '53 Olds is a beauty!!! Cannot wait to see the vids!

[@Alkysix]

I used to own a '53 Olds when I was 17. around 1963 or '64. Sure hope you do a series of videos giving her a new life. :)

[@rpggmg1]

The Olds get my vote Ben!!.

[@BrandonsClassicCars]

I would definitely LOVE to see the OLDSMOBILE next!!!

[@CadianTV]

Love the oldsmobile mate, keep up the great work!!!!!

[@moldingpro7208]

I think it is funny how your chickens follow you around. It makes me smile. Love your cars and videos.

[@peteschutza3566]

The Oldsmobubble!

[@carguy7536]

I like how your chickens were following you around for most of the inspection tour.

[@monarch1957]

Thanks for showing your collection I can see why you call yourself Corvette Ben as you have so many Corvettes.

[@vettekid3326]

I always had a soft spot for those old Oldsmobiles. The 1953 looks like a pretty solid car and would be a fun cruiser with Ike Turner's original Rocket 88 song blaring from the radio.

[@jerryuptmor2826]

Ben Love your work. I guess the customer cars first, but then I'd like to see a whole playlist of videos on the Olds. Hope I'm not the only old guy who loves the 50's era cars. Thanks.

[@playermodsrule]

Steve's 85 is still on the go? awesome man! I bought a 1987 corvette which I am fully restoring right now. I will be doing videos on it when I get everything started. I also own 2002 c5 fully option corvette coupe and I love both cars to death. Can't wait to see more videos on the 85 man! I wish you and steve the best of luck.

[@rjs2005]

I'm definitely most excited to see the Olds!

[@stevefranklin8052]

just got back home from crusin around in my 58 caddy. 72 sunny degrees here in so cal! you're right, your never finished with 50 60 year old cars!! definitely the Oldsmobile!

[@mrradio4944]

I subbed for the caddy , but now im just addicted to all of the stuff on ur channel

[@TheCorvetteBen]

Not a bad place to be!

[@jamespn]

I like the Cadillac and the Oldsmobile.

[@Blackdog06019]

Can't wait to see the Olds 88! Once it warms up here in CT I'm gonna be working on my 51 Ford shoebox.

[@fhionnsgarage4770]

Great to see your collection. Do the Olds next. I love seeing your vintage iron builds!

[@billwilmington8284]

I love all your C3 and C4 videos! Keep em coming!

[@moonster5895]

Making great use of the yard! Would also love to see the olds

[@StevenJeNova]

Rocket 88, definitely. When you're done with the Caddie.

[@TheCorvetteBen]

Caddy will never be done, always something!

[@danielc5205]

I like that white '73 C3. The red C4 is an iconic Vette from my childhood. Oddly enough, I'm a Ford/Mopar guy, but I've always loved the older Vettes especially the C2s and early C3s. Our uncle had a '67 C2 coupe with a 327. It was a a/c, 4 speed car that was Marlboro Maroon.

[@EdFrankes]

Next: Oldsmobile! Would be nice. But you've got me all curious now. Whats up with that RV??

[@jasongecik9059]

I'm really ready to see some videos on the 53 olds that will be fun. Keep it up Sir really love it.

[@bicycle697]

You got cool projects Ben, I got a 72 Corvette I am working on. I'm inspired!

[@randydaniel1583]

Hello Ben. Mercury, Olds, then the 77 Vette. I enjoy watching your excellent channel. Keep up the good work!

[@Ptylersworld]

I'd love to see the Mercury running and driving first, then the Oldsmobile Rocket 88. We used to have an Oldsmobile Rocket 88 sitting at a local service station that had been sitting there since the 70's at least, but when they paved over the parking lot there, they moved it. I don't know where they put it, but the rollback they were using to move it still isn't back yet, so at least that's a good sign. Also, you have some gorgeous babies (chickens). :D Take good care of them, I always love to see them in your videos!

[@stevevarholy2011]

The 1979 in your garage is a beautiful color combination, Ben.

[@steveragan6643]

Can’t wait to see you get your hands dirty on the Olds!

[@tacoma5543]

You're a lucky man as I'm sure you've been told before but especially to be able to have you're own mini junk yard and your pretty wife being cool with it. Mine is the same way with my hobbies and things I'm passionate about collecting relating to cars. My vote would be the Olds and I hope you decide to have lots of upcoming videos on that one. I love your channel and look foreard to all your new ones. Keep living your dream and doing what you're good at!

[@bartikusskaguy]

The Olds will be awesome, that's a great car!

[@odahithedubious2017]

I vote for the Olds, too. I've had several of them, and still want another Cutlass. Great cars.

[@peacefultreasure8497]

I would LOVE to see that Rocket 88 on your channel!

[@Cyberman762]

I️ can not wait to see the Oldsmobile up and running! Another great video Ben!

[@rubyred93chev]

The '79 in the garage, and of course the white '73. Being a Corvette aficionado, really looking forward to your future video projects Ben. Still love the '56 Caddy, and the '59 Mercury isn't far behind. You should do a video of all the cars you have on the wall in your office, as the stories behind the cars would be really cool content for your channel.

[@OldCarAlley]

Ben, Don't forget the Mercury needs control arm bushings... saw them in a past video. There is nothing left of them. There not that hard to replace. The car will be all over the road, if you try to drive it with the bad ones. I frame off restored a 69 Chevy Custom 10 pick up.... so I will enjoy seeing you work on the truck. I had "one" Oldsmobile. It was nothing but problems... major lemon, so I am not crazy about Oldsmobile's... but will still enjoy seeing you work on yours. Trees looked awesome all covered in ice. We got a snow storm this weekend, that put down a fresh foot of snow. I am one of those crazy people that enjoys the seasons, and a good snow storm. Howard

[@TheCorvetteBen]

What year was your olds?

[@OldCarAlley]

It was a newer car, 1989.... not a "cool old one" like yours. I bought it when it was a salesman's demo. The first week I owned it, it needed $500 worth or repairs... GM stated it was a "rubber non warrantied part" that caused the problem.... a seal. From that day on, all I had was trouble with the car, and GM did everything they could to get out of repairing it under warranty. Everything on the car was replaced at least once, sometimes twice. The AC compressor was replaced twice in one week! Steering rack replaced three times. Trans rebuilt twice. The usually good 3.1 V-6 kept developing oil leaks. Brakes twice a year... and on and on. I sued GM under the lemon law, what a pain that was... it took years and I had to store the car in a secure location that was not cheap. I made GM repay the storage cost too, because they dragged the case on for years. I have never bought a newer GM car since, seeing GM did everything they could to make sure they could get out of warranting stuff on it. GM left a foul taste in my mouth because of that car! Since I have bought several Ford's, having no trouble with them at all, running three of them well over 200,000 miles.... GM made me a Ford man! I am looking forward to you working on your classic Old's. I do like the older GM cars... pre 1980's.

[@V4Motorsports]

When you install the door windows in the 77, please show how to adjust to get to fit. Thanks, love your videos!

[@yyctypewriter]

As an owner of a 1952 Olds Super 88 myself (check my vids) your 53 is what I am looking forward to. Awesome cars, the original muscle car. Looking forward to seeing your engine, your second year 4bbl carb and that wicked 303cu in Rocket. Mmmm, exciting!

[@BAtadCrazy]

In short, we're lovin' it!!!

[@ChrisSmith-bf6lw]

That Olds is cool, Ben. But, l can't wait to see that Merc run and drive!

[@DoubleRRestorations]

I like them all. I learn something from each of them. I really like the Vettes though. Keep up the great work Ben.

[@dangoodall-williams4200]

Def. The Rocket! And the Caddy. Love the Caddy. I like the Merc. too, and want to see it go down the road, but really want to see the Olds too.

[@kensherwood4866]

Looking forward to seeing all of them. Particularly the Oldsmobile Also looking forward to the Caddy update. Hopefully spring will be with you soon

[@redneckbryon]

The 53 Oldsmobile definitely looks like a cool project, hopefully it makes it on the channel with the rest of these cars - projects.

[@AngelosWorkbench]

All your stuff is great but since you asked, put me down for the minty Olds. That car looks awesome.

[@stephengardin2423]

Your boneyard is growing and you should thank GOD for an understanding wife. The Oldsmobile is an interesting choice to get going. I enjoy your videos and look forward to watching them. Thank you.

[@rogerlee3941]

Can't wait for the videos on the '53 Olds!

[@RitzyTrailer]

I'm rootin' for the MERCURY (and perhaps I'll fly down to TX and buy it when you're done!)

[@angelcarrion7624]

I see that you LOVE the corvettes

[@Motorcycology]

Having a 77 C3, I'm most interested from a technical perspective the C3 stuff, however the older cars are interesting too. I'll go for the 77 Corvette though

[@lionelpayette4628]

luvin the 56 caddy project.

[@jamesbassford2231]

I’d love some C4 content. That 85 would make a great candidate for a mild/wild budget 355 or 383 build. C4s make a good platform to build from, they just need some massaging and clean up

[@cool62chev]

Love the Olds!

[@LMacNeill]

Definitely looking forward to more Mercury videos - and that Oldsmobile looks like it’ll be fun, too! Hope you are able to include that one, too.

[@adjfrom98]

Can’t wait to see the Olds on here

[@alssmallengines]

The '50 Olds for sure!

[@evanhooper1]

Can't wait to see all those C3s

[@r1lark]

At first I was thinking, 'Wow too many Corvette projects'.........but then I remembered that you are CorvetteBen! Seriously, I do enjoy most of the Corvette projects, but really really enjoy the older car projects. Yes, do the Oldsmobile soon, it will be a great project. How about the Olds with Corvette suspension? That would be cool, but maybe a little more involved than you want to get into.

[@TheCorvetteBen]

+r1lark I believe the Olds will stay stock for sure

[@1980bwc]

What year is the Mercury Ben? Back in the late 80's and early 90's, my Papaw had a 62 two door Mercury with a 292 as a daily driver. I personally am a Chevrolet guy now, but my Papaw was one of those old school die hard Ford guys and wouldnt drive anything else. Lol. I have great childhood memories of riding in the back of it. The back seat was so huge that i could lay completely down without having to curl up, and take a nap on trips. I remember it had a sky blue interior and i still can remember the smell of it. It was a white 2 door, but that one you have reminded me of it. Its a very similar body style it. Ive heard 292's werent that great of an engine, but i still remember the exhaust rumble going down the road and how good it sounded.

[@TheCorvetteBen]

+Bryan Wayne 1959

[@curtisharrison395]

That old slowmobile is sweet

[@TheCorvetteBen]

+Curtis Harrison what a great name

[@dcformee123]

I would love to see the 1953 Rocket 88 done next that thing is cute nice shape to it and it's kind of small I like that about it and it is very straight and what a beautiful color that would be if you had it repainted or even clear-coated it probably would come back somewhat.

[@montypowers316]

Crazy prices at copart. Keep the videos coming.

[@paulgunter1538]

Love the Olds! Would love to see that one done after the Merc is finished

[@brandancooper385]

Im so excited..im proud owner of that white 77 vette he has under the canvas.im brandan from Tennessee.Ben is making my dream come true...but i have to tell yall.. I am a Cadillac man and I can't wait to see his Cadillac together I also have a Cadillac a 1970 drop top with the gangster White Walls tires....go ben!!!!..lol

[@felk86]

Any will do! Thanks Ben!

[@TheDutchTexan]

Nice update! I am going to have to give it to the olds!

[@davidblitch6491]

Go for the Olds, That's the one I'd go for.

[@VinzentDk]

Even the poultry is rooting for the Olds :D

[@jasonbryan6580]

I want see ya work more on the minty Oldsmobile.

[@dennishachey9072]

I think you should work on the Oldsmobile.

[@christopherkuehl817]

After your done with that old oldsmobile I'd love to buy it.... Let me know!!!!!

[@SlickCrusty]

gotta see that merc sorted first,the onto the olds.....but hey its your train set ben

[@brucebyrnes5996]

Like the update video! Mercury and Oldsmobile ! Like! Thanks!

[@kimkiriniki9433]

Some terrific cars in your paddock, but to me it's your Oldsmobile that screams 'help' the loudest.

[@mozzarella-king]

The Olds. World can always use more Rocket 88's!

[@mgbrv8]

Vettes and the olds for sure

[@macfisher4004]

Olds would be neat to see.

[@GarryFullerSr]

Good little Video. So Nice to not have a HOA. Could you imagen. The old Rocket would be Nice but you have the Caddy. What ever you decide will be just fine.

[@cartunman]

I thought it was funny how the chickens were following you around!

[@davegregory3532]

Definitely do the Oldsmobile after you finish the Mercury . I'm not really a Corvette guy although i like your Videos on them . I started watching when you did Your Caddy . I like the older stuff better . Dave .

[@ceedell]

The Caddy is a great car and I'd like to see the Olds next....but the 73 is cool to....lol

[@gosportjamie]

It sounds like the blue truck should make for an interesting project with finding out what has been messed up in the past...

[@mjmcomputers]

Can’t wait to see the upcoming videos. Oh and the blue truck is a nascar truck lol

[@jimbomac55]

Definitely do the Olds!

[@onthefritz6623]

the truck!

[@MrSteveCasper]

I vote for the 77 vette just because I'm currently restoring one that I bought the week before Christmas.

[@ClassicRideSociety]

I can see that whole property full of Classics in the future...👍 👍. You should really try to make the Decatur Swap Meet at the end of this month. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. Just don't go on Sunday

[@MegaHello202]

Oldsmobile!

[@metalsnak6]

The olds and the merc!

[@JamesAllmond]

Rocket 88s are great...go for it!

[@Shane-Singleton]

I'd like to see you work on the Olds. Or.. If you want something to totally shake up the channel I have that 57 Belair wagon we talked about on Facebook ;) ;) $1000 will it run and drive project? :)

[@TheCorvetteBen]

+Shane Singleton once it warms up, let's do it!

[@Shane-Singleton]

Excellent! :)

[@reijerlincoln]

The Olds gets my vote.

[@montypowers624]

Hey Ben, since you love Caddy's I just watched a video from another You Tuber you'd love. It has a seriously nice old pink Caddy similiar to yours at a Copart yard in Utah. The youtube site is Nobori Auto. He posted it on Feb 9, 2018 abd the caddy is at about 14:30 or so in the video. You got to check it out.

[@TheCorvetteBen]

+Monty Powers I looked up the car on co part. Looks like it is a Lincoln and the bid is already above $9,000!

[@nathankim7664]

The gray 1979 Corvette would be nice to see, as well as the Oldsmobile! Does the parts Cadillac have a radio in it? I'd like one! ^^

[@TheCorvetteBen]

+Nathan Kim sorry already sold

[@nathankim7664]

It's all good, thanks for letting me know! Good luck with your projects!

[@chadwillis9446]

My vote is for the Olds!

[@Nolanyoyo]

the cadillac looks cool

[@HBob247]

73 Vette would be my first choice, but anything with a internal combustion engine is good.
