That old car was given a name when it was born. It still works today. Chieftain. Keep it at that. A proud name with history behind it.

Hey I drove past your place a couple of weeks ago on a Saturday but nobody was around. I was just out for a Saturday drive seeing if I could discover any old gems hidden away in pastures or back yards. I got very lucky and found an 56 two door Chevy. I'm going back with my trailer Tuesday to pick it up. If I have time I'll swing by your place again.

Love your channel and the Chieftain! This car brings back memories. Way back when (1968) my big brother’s first car was a blue ‘52 Chieftain (purchased for $125). It was sweet and he named it “Buhla”. My bro passed away a few yrs back so I was thinking perhaps your Chieftain could be named “Buhla-2” in his honor? Keep up the great work and God Bless! Brian

There are so many of these "Will It Run" videos on You Tube. I want to see someone fully restore a junked and forgotten vehicle, start to finish. I understand that it isn't easy and for the most part not a great investment time or money wise, but if I only had the skills...

HI Wyatt & Lance! Love your stuff. I'd really like to know more about that wonderful old1940 Chevy Dubl Duti. Can you please give an update on the project. You said at the end of your last video about it: "... I've dug around on the internet and I'm quite confident in knowing that this is probably the only one of its kind in existence and to know that she actually still runs, it's just so cool to know that the only one is still up and running now. There's been a whole lot of controversy of what we should do with this old van. We love custom builds around the shop but with a piece this rare it would be really cool to see it go back to its originality with that being said we're going to keep working on it." I'm hoping you're still doing a "back to original" restoration on it. Thanks!
