"Will It Run" The Movie (A Truly INSANE Vehicle Revival)

I cant imagine a revival being more intense than this one.
Hard for me to ever want to do one again since i consider this to be the pinnacle of automotive revival culture.

[@ThunderHead289]

We tried splitting this between our channels over 7 episodes, but folks largely missed my own episodes. So, I figured I would slap this all into one full length revival just so there's a record of all of it together out there. Truly was the most intense and fun revival, would never be able to top it - anything revival flavored that I do frankly feels boring in comparison. With Iowa finally climbing out of winter, you all will have to deal with me again on youtube very soon lol

[@frankrizzo5057]

Debbie does Iowa. Lol

These were the good ole days, such a badass revival 🤘

[@ThunderHead289]

One to end them all for me really - after the satellite, everything else was too easy and boring. It was the perfect revival, short of driving it home - we overcame an insane amount of things together on that car

[@Trueno1600]

This is why I haven't had cable TV for over 10 years now. The real entertainment, the real gems, come from people like you. Watching anything from tv or motortrend channel after that feels so lame and made up!

[@endgovernmentextremism]

Seriously... I can't stand seeing people on KZbin channels saying "You should be on N*tflix!" as if that's the sign of success. Signing your soul over to a network and losing most of the creative control just to be turned into cookie-cutter trash with lame writing, dramatic music, and fake camera shake. Some people just don't know a good thing when they see it.

[@melindaortiz9741]

Exactly

[@colinklang]

Hahaha motortrend, we're going to slap together thousands of dollars worth of sponsored parts in our studio shop. JYD and TH289 are the real deal. Yea there's some sponsored stuff but it's just regular guys wrenching and building like the rest of us.

[@danadribnenki8774]

I have to admit this was one of the best revive videos I’ve ever watched, bar none! Really enjoyed watching this old car be resurrected from the dead! Good job guys!

I know it’s a little late, but I just want to say this is the first video over an hour that I’ve actually sat through the entirety of on KZbin. Thank you guys for sharing this, it was an awesome thing to view! Great work.

"We just need to apply some engineering" with a symbol of a hammer would make a killer T-shirt. Lots of good tips in this series, almost a catchall series with how many things needed to be done to make it run.

[@donnabrown9476]

This is by far my favorite video you guys have ever made! I love that you put it all together to watch as a movie. I also always loved when you would come and shoot a video with Kevin at our house. Listening to the two of you and the non-stop laughter was the best entertainment ever!

[@completefemboyr.n.g1308]

The pure comedy that is you two pulling down that tree

[@rich5223]

The owner seems such a cool guy, you could tell he still had a lot of memories and feelings for that car. I hope it's saved and restored so he can see it.

[@lesterlesabre4326]

It's funny how much Kevin then looks like Jesse does now.

[@gfd1166]

I'm not sure how many times I've watched this series.... Truly enjoy the way you two work together. Not sure how I missed it before, but the noise made when the engine fired while Luke was wrenching it over has me rolling with laughter & then chatting around the campfire when Kevin has an embarrassing realization. OMG 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@carlbernard4197]

Surprise!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😮😮😮😮😂😂😂😂😂

[@Larsgman]

I’ve watched a lot of “revival” videos and this is the first time i seen you guys. Just the fact alone that it was a collab and you two went to town to make that poor thing live again is instant sub for both channels. If that car was sentient i can only imagine its thoughts at the sight of you two coming to make it breathe again Also that little math formula edited in at 5:53 made me lol 16:46 *insert john cena ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?*

@@mercuryoak2 agreed to an extent, I don’t think mook had anything to do with them going separate ways as they’ve collaborated many times since she came into the picture. I do agree, I don’t like the sponsors, but I understand them. All KZbin sponsor companies are gonna be generic crap to reach a wide audience (earbuds, groom products, vpn etc) and considering having sponsors is pretty much the only way to make a decent living off KZbin anymore. I don’t blame Kevin for having them, even tho I don’t like em.

[@KaSwipeSter]

@@mercuryoak2 You're way too bitter. Kevin literally commented on this video. They're both relatively small channels still in the grand scheme of things and they both live in pretty rural areas. I don't see what mook has to do with this seems like you're trying to argue something that doesn't exist just because you don't like her. The sponsor thing I get, but I just skip over those.

[@joshofcywg8162]

@@KaSwipeSter I don’t understand how people can dislike mook. I do agree it took her some time to find her “on camera persona” but once she did, she became an integral part of the show, and honestly. I can’t imagine it without her. I Don’t mean this in any weird way either.

[@KaSwipeSter]

@@joshofcywg8162 keep in mind I could be grabbing at false things here, but unfortunately some people just have a stigma towards women especially with cars (tbh that's really the only reason that I can see this guy not liking her). I don't at all, I find mook to be absolutely hilarious and great at working on cars, but I know someone like my grandpa would beg to differ which makes me roll my eyes. Some people view women as evil forces that are cunning like this dude saying she drove them apart in some way. It's very unfortunate how some people are because I know for myself a lot of the best people in my life are women. (Edit: added for myself)

[@KaSwipeSter]

@@joshofcywg8162 my grandpa one time was suprised that a girl was working on her car in the shop at school and I just gave him a dirty look.

[@scotthay1486]

Guys, epic revival and video. BADASS! I enjoy these long videos especially when Mopars are being saved. She is very rotten, however will make a good parts car for some enthusiast. the owner was stoked you rescued it, if not for you she would have disintegrated where she sat. Your efforts on tidying the property was a kind act. the guy who found you the car coming along and telling you about the left hand thread deal was a touch of serependipidy. Best regards.

[@2H80vids]

That's officially the longest YT video I've ever watched and I enjoyed every minute of it. Great revival and great to watch you two working together - the way it should be. You were made very welcome and all the clean-up you did was a nice touch. For all you were hammering on Mopar products, got to say the mechanicals seem pretty bulletproof on that beastie, if we forget about the cr@ppy starters. Mind you, thjat could have been electrical, rather than duff starters. If you can be bothered swapping it out one more time, the first re-man starter might work OK, if you get a decent set of connections to it. Thanks for a fantastic morning's entertainment guys.😁👍

[@fb2800]

I’m surprised they didn’t explore the second starter more, I’m pretty confident it was just bad main connection the whole time. The same issue the third also exhibited.

I really enjoyed watching the whole thing. I'm a mechanic myself, i'm 57 years old and i own a 70 challenger that i bought in 1986. So "been there done that". Don't waste your time with stupid comments from people that don't know what they're talking about when it comes to old cars like that with the rust and all, it's too much time consuming. BTW cylinder #1 on most of these engines is the cylinder head that is the most forward towards the front of the car, that's your cylinder #1. A lot of engines are like that. But you probably know that by now thru another comment from an older guy like me 😆😆. Keep making those videos, they're entertaining and sometimes funny. I would of loved to be there with you guys to help out cause i just love doing shit like that. Love you guys, take care and keep reviving these old cars.😀👍
