I think it was a win because of the quality time you spend with JD. Gives me hope for the next generation.

So, this comment is for JD. This is the car you keep. You never sell. You fix it when you inevitably crash in it as a teenager. You go on first dates in it. You drive off from the wedding chappal, dragging a bunch of tin cans on strings in it. It's the first car to pull into the first driveway of the first home you buy. You keep working on it with your own kids. Finally, you hand over the keys to your kid as his or her first car. Why do you do all of that?? Because it's your first car that you and your dad built together.

This is the most real video on working on cars I have ever seen. Not everything gets done perfect in 30 minutes with commercial breaks and almost losing the garage. Set backs, wrong parts, blood has to be given sometime and lots of disappointments goes with that perfect day of driving your project. Dalton, this is the right way to do videos for your channel. Salute for never giving up.

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Thanks man

[@garycorbett148]

Well done. I watch many channels and you are with many of them in content. That being said Vice Grip garage and Goonzquad were barely above your level when I began watching them and both are well over a million subscribers now. Sleeperdude is striving as well and 3 of those and your channel involve father son involvement (sleeperdude has his entire family involved) and goonzquad is sons and father. See a pattern? You are doing well. I live down in Poplar Bluff MO and am 76. I am looking for a 47 or 48 Chrysler sedan with a straight 8 and stick shift for my final car.

[@keithcalitri840]

What a good kid JD is he’s gonna be a hell of a mechanic in a few years came across this channel bout a month ago and been watching ever since. Also gotta say you are a hell of a dad this world needs a lot more like you good luck guys.

Awesome build to do with the kid!! He’s gonna be a hard worker it seems.! My bosses grand son tried to take a picture under water with a cell phone he knew wasn’t waterproof cuz his mother just recently had to dry it out in rice already once!!??? He also likes to pedal mtn bikes backwards while shifting gears until the derailer bends to all to hell.!? The kid doesn’t have a role model at all so he’s all over the place. Your doing a great job! All you gotta do is try and that’s mountains more then most fathers.

[@Bbba724]

I miss the years of when my son and I did this stuff. We swapped our rusted out frame on my 65 Galaxie 2 dr ht, put the 394FE I built back in 1999 and pulled it out of the truck, put the C6 and 4.33 locker in and the engine/transmission swap in, it was so much fun. I m 62 now and blind and my son is 40 now and really busy with his own family and work. Do these things while you can. They grow up so fast!

[@PoleBarnGarage]

They really do

[@raymondcollyear4773]

As much as it drives a man crazy trying to get everything done and done right the first time, it never seems to work that way. But the memories that you and JD are making can never be replaced. These are stories you'll tell again and again and they'll never get old. I enjoy watching you and your son . Keep the videos coming.

[@tedconroy5074]

The way JD says "yeah" makes me smile, and because he is so flexible he's perfect for working inside the engine bay. I will watch you, and JD working on his car anyday before some fancy garage show on TV.

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Thanks pard, I appreciate it

There's no substitute for quality time with your kids. Keep learning on JD, he will cherish these moments when he's older and will hopefully pass along these lessons to his kids. Keep up the good work, been here since the first Holey Goat video and I'm enjoying watching the channel grow.

I’ve been a professional mechanic for 30 years and I have my own shop at my house. I remember very well working with my son when he was your son’s age. Now he’s a Gunnery Sgt. in the USMC. He was also very thin and wormy like your son. Now he could fold me up like a napkin if he wanted to. Enjoy the process as much as the final product. Time really is all that you have.👍

Then, one day I had to go take my driving test, during work time. I passed and came back to work . My Mum was in the office at the time of my arrival….. and they hugged me, ( well Mum did) Dad, shook my hand and said very well done Son…. and threw the mini keys at me…. Best go test your car runs ok. Boy did I cry. Lost for words.

Haven´t owned a car for 30 years. Have no idea why I find car-wrenching videos so entertaining, but keep them coming, please. Love to see you teaching on your son, and generally hanging out together. I live in Denmark, where we don´t really have old cars (long, cold, wet winters and aggressive salting on the roads), so no luck for me, I guess :( -But I can enjoy vicariously from shows like yours. Say hi to the Algorithm from me ;)

I was a ford transmission tech forever.the secret to lining up the torque converter studs is to center the stud at 12:00 and the flywheel hole the same.once it is installed,check to make sure the stud wiggles in the hole in the flywheel.if not,pull it back out because something is not right.

[@PoleBarnGarage]

That is exactly what I did actually

My kids don't remember any gift I gave them, but they do remember what we did together. I look forward to following you along on your adventures in wrench turning. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for being here! There's tons of good stuff on here, JD is my number one, so he's in most of them

[@christinawiseman-gc9jh]

Dalton, you are the best to watch now. Derek has gone to motor trend and you don't get the good bills that he used to do when he was bringing them back to life and I used to watch Kevin and Mook. But now when you watch Kevin, he has infomercials in the middle of his restorations earbuds and other sponsors and I don't think you get the true information anymore. He's too busy backing his sponsors but you are honest about everything and you work with your brother and your son and your wife. It's almost a family show. You've got a great sense of humor and I'm sure there's a lot of us out here that appreciate you. Keep up the good work!

Hello JD & Dalton, I'm three months behind in this vlog but every time I want to comment I'm in trying to enjoy a self made ciggy. Now let me say I think Chevrolet had a phenominal design with their bat wing '59 Impala with its curved class windscreen and unique laid flat tail fins, BUT.... I can't throw the '59 Ford Fiarlane to the curb being my family owned one in the mid to late '60s. This car, your first Hot Rod JD, is awesome! The work you're putting into it will be a memory that stays with you for a lifetime. Also this classic end of the tail fin years design has its own rad design that I'll always be jealous of any owner of, as it is the first memory of the car my family owned. The work you and your father are puttng into making it a reliable Hot Rod will remain with you for your entire life. So just know it now, you are a very special young man to your pop and always give him props for this effort he puts out to help you with fostering a love for classic autos. This '59 is a fine looking and will always be a great car for you as the first car you owned, as they always are, forever. p.s. JD, it's good to see you have become more comfortable speaking in these vlogs, don't be shy JD, you are a natrual, whether you know it or not. And I'm happy to hear you speak more about the 'haps' as things are happening here.

Thank you for uploading this. I had an awful weekend and the neighbor I grew up learning repairing things from is gone. Your uploads really brighten things for me sometimes. On the Ford C6 I was taught that the torque converter seats in 3 steps and you want to be able to wiggle the torque converter stud side to side and that will show it isn't bound up. I've had my C6 out a few times and they are a pain but I still like my Fords.

[@sonnymiller1486]

Great to see a Dad and his Son working together. My son and I are still tinkering with our old Fords. I'm now 63 and he's 35 years old. He's got a 64 Fairlane and I have a 63 Mercury. Fun cruising to shows together. Keep up the Good Work👍❤🙏😅

[@edrussell7960]

I'm a fairly new subscriber, and this kind of vlog is why I watch. Reminds me of my father and grandfather and I out in the yard and me learning and passing tools. I miss those days both of them have passed on. Unfortunately my son had no desire to get under the hood, and my grandson lives a thousand miles away. So I get to relive a bit thru you're vlogs. As a matter of fact my grandfather drove a car just like this one when I was young.

How my people do I know who tell me "My ol' man was never there for me " or "My ol' man was a S.O.B." many of the people who tell me this are walking turds with arms and legs, hateful wretched excuses for human beings with no direction in life. Now look at your situation. You are taking the time and making the effort to be there for your boy. He's learning something every time you guys go into the garage, and he's picking up hands on experience that he'll use for the rest of his life. You're also earning his respect, the real kind that is given freely and is from the heart. Thanks to you, he's gonna have a fighting chance in life. I can see that you two are also having fun and making memories you'll be talking about when you're old, (You remind me of my Dad in a lot of ways. I was extremely lucky to have him.) You sir, are doing a great job making sure that there is at least one more good human on planet earth. You were a very funny guy when you were putting the goat together, and I laughed my butt off most of the time. Now I see from what you've been doing here that there's a lot more to you than just being funny. My hat is off and I say "much respect" Cheers!!

That was a really nice car. Two door hardtop, all black and chrome with factory mags. Really cool for a 19 year old in 1969. My first really good car. I started working on my cars at 15 when I bought my first car, a 54 Chevy. Love the way you are teaching JD. I truly wish I had someone to teach me back then.

"Turn on your AC." Yes, I really miss those wing windows. I also want to thank you for these videos. Last night we started rebuilding an engine for my '69 GMC C25, and I'm so excited!!!

[@uwharriebigfoothunter]

I'm a big fan of Ford FE engines and C6 transmissions. JD is building one rad car! 🤙🏼

I was cheering for your success, the test drive seemed to be at hand. There will always be obstacles to completing complex and simple tasks. I am sure that this car will be scaring the neighbors and alerting law enforcement soon enough.

Ole sheriff deputy will probably give JD an escort to drive it on the roads

Some us more senior mechanics are aware that when the oil pump shaft refuses to engage the oil pump, or the distributor depending on make, all one has to do is bump the starter until it does. In any case long before you have arrived at the point of obstruction the distributor gear has already engaged the camshaft so bumping the starter doesn't upset anything. Never fails.

Good point, but I prefer to know exactly where the rotor is on startup, try to eyeball the timing

[@bradlewellen7461]

I love seeing the quality time you have with JD all I would like to see you do is get him wearing safety glasses, especially when he was using the drill with the wire cup.

Awesome that you're teaching your son like this. Best wishes to you both in this project. I remember my first hot rod I built at age 15, (54 years ago). Although I had to teach myself since my dad, while a really great guy, was no mechanic.

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Learning together is the best. I've never been that far into a Ford before, we both learned a valuable lesson

[@tobygathergood4990]

@@PoleBarnGarage Great! I have two sons, but neither of them are in the least interested in working on or building autos. Something of a disappointment. I am mainly a Ford guy, but will hot rod pretty much anything worthwhile I can get my hands on, but I'm kinda slowing down some now, being almost 70.

[@kennyguillotte1881]

I think that you are doing good job and a great job showing JD ways to work on vehicles and there is multiple ways to get the job done. I wish you would show him the importance of safety glasses when cutting or grinding. Again great job!

[@PoleBarnGarage]

He wears them. It depends on the situation whether I do or not.

I click on these videos for the auto repair, but I watch them for the father/son interaction. Take it from someone who never got to do this with his dad: both of you are the luckiest people in the world.
