This Video is 100% high Grade entertainment.... Steeped in Comic Glory and real life learning. I've been watching and waiting for the Rolled Runner

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

"Umm The noises it makes... are a little concerning.. I'm choosing to ignore that" 🤣

[@PoleBarnGarage]

There's always a choice!

[@DadGrooves]

I’m not sure what was more impressive - the home made push rod or mig welding without gloves.

[@drewscruis]

I would pay good money to watch mark worman's face as he watched you rebuild this beauty. Lo!

[@TheMetallicafan88]

This makes me feel lucky to have a project car that sat outside in a junkyard for 25 years but was never burned, rolled or shot!

[@PoleBarnGarage]

You can buy them without being this way?

[@kevinblevins2612]

Once again Thanks for keeping it real Not everyone can dump 50K in a 20 K car

[@chrisgetchell5274]

Hay Dalton, I’m 57 years old so I’m a 80s kinda guy. Regardless I love the ratty cars your working on the holy goat and the rolled runner. The eagle would get some attention from me but way backseat. I love that you are a champion to the hopeless cause. That is your jam. The fact you bring your son along is awesome. Anyway I have one request…. The Road Runner was made to hold a pistol grip. To put a automatic in it is sacrilegious if it is a black canvas. A four speed is not optional on this project. Love everything you are doing. A fellow hacker

[@PoleBarnGarage]

An 833 would literally cost more than every single thing I've bought thus far, including the car

[@ghostryder9221981]

I’ve said it before and after all my time on this planet, pretty don’t always work, ugly usually always works, as a shade tree driveway expert of sorts I tip my hat to you sir. My son and I love your content and he says he now understands it doesn’t matter what it looks like or what anyone thinks as long as you’re satisfied with the fact it functions, he no longer questions my work after seeing it’s not just me😂. Now he just asks, “will it work “? I respond “I think so”, he responds “let’s try it, if it does…send it”! Thank you for making realistic content brother, keep it coming!!!!

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Excellent! Glad I can lower the bar

[@billiamcarlton5990]

​@PoleBarnGarage you're not lowering the bar. You're encouraging me to get my project done and not worry about it being absolutely perfect. Otherwise, it'd never get done and driven. Thanks a lot, man. I appreciate your videos

[@clank4442]

Your build videos are a lot of fun and I really appreciate how you try to maintain a realistic budget while including all the nitty gritty details of stuff that throws you for a loop and slows ya down. I have been there and its very relatable, its easy to hit a couple hiccups and just decide to try the parts cannon but making what you have work is a very satisfying challenge.

[@PoleBarnGarage]

And frankly all I have the money for lol

[@jameshopkins145]

I had a steering wheel fall apart on an old tractor. I wrapped it with para cord, then a layer of electrical tape to hold the cord good n tight, then one of those laced up covers like you put on JDs ford. Worked really well n held up pretty decent. Love the channel.

[@e.s.bryant765]

Love the content. Keep it up, it certainly helps motivate me to get my stuff up and running. Spam and eggs cooking now for breakfast. Not Treet, not Clover Vally, but real spam.

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Damn dude don't lose the shop

[@704406bbl]

A roadrunner guy here and we were laughing and enjoying this video! Those master cylinders are a pain to change out and the steering column ain’t no picnic either! We do appreciate your videos and the light hearted humor. Look forward to seeing it run and drive. Wishing you all the best ol’ buddy.

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Thanks!

Those wheels would be a pleasure to finish up. Gonna look slick

This Mopar is going to rock. Can't wait to see this one on the road! Awesome to see those 5/16 nuts already coming in handy haha :)

[@PoleBarnGarage]

For sure! Big time help

[@TrashcanGarage]

We're not worthy. We're not worthy. 🤣Love watching you thrash around man, inspires me when I go out and hammer on mine. Really. Speaking of brakes... about ten years ago wandering the local indoor flea market and spied an old metal case for an antique Bernzomatic propane torch set. Price was only a few bucks and thought I could use it to stash odd tools in at the shop. But when I grabbed it off the table I almost dropped it, it was heavy as lead and I found out it was full of old drum brake tools. I'm sure whoever was selling it had NO idea what they were. I ended up with the deal of a lifetime right there.

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Can't beat the old stuff! And no worries, I'll always just be a fool rolling around in the dirt, no crown required for this guy

[@TrashcanGarage]

@@PoleBarnGarage - Dif is, I didn't grow up around gearheads. Just grandpa who liked to fix shit, it was a religion to him. And it rubbed off. So, at 62, a lot of this shit I'm learning as I go along and doing for the first time. Keep doing what you do, yours is my favorite channel hands down sir. 🤘😎

[@mrpurcountry]

That roadrunner looks like it was caught by the coyote and chewed on a while but it's coming back together great job and good laughs. Lmao watching you.

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Thanks for watching!

[@davenadeau9541]

the raodrunner looking good i like the wheels

[@COOPERS_COACH_WORKS]

To be honest... I was really looking forward to seeing those Wheels on the roadrunner. It's all right I get what you're doing... You got your own vision on what this car should look like and I want you to do that. But nothing said "meep meep" like those Wheels!

[@PoleBarnGarage]

You mean as red and blue? Oh no, no no no no lol

[@jasonpetrich4141]

Dude me too!!! I thought the blue would really pop on the burnt yellow wish he would of tryed them out on the finished product before painting them

[@Ridendrty]

Good to see yall down at the NNN 1. The Holey Goat was even more riddled with bullet holes than i thought lol.

[@thef71]

This car is going to be a real beast . Love the matching numbers stuff

[@mjw8890]

Eight more rolls of electrical tape and that steering wheel will be good as new🥴. Would love to see you do more work on the eagle!

[@mightymikethebear]

I like watching you use wire wheels, solvents and lubricants to rejuvenate old parts. You are carrying the low buck car crafting flag high and proud.

[@ericolsen7955]

Really look forward to your stuff. The Grand Marquis de Sade video was one of my favorites. Keep them coming!

[@graemepaul8748]

Very entertaining video, I love the precision measuring then add ‘half an inch’, 60% of the time it works every time.

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Cut 7 times, measure none

[@normanroberts6680]

I really appreciate your moving forward attitude. I could use a couple pounds of your ambition. Also was thinking a drag race between Rolled runner and Holy goat would be good footage. See you next time.

[@PoleBarnGarage]

That will certainly happen

[@duckscustomgarage9239]

I agree with you on the KZbin professional drum brake rebuilders . One always shows how to install brake shoes. He always starts out telling you to take photos . I have watched him not naming any names put the short shoes on one side of the car and the long shoes on the other side and some times he puts the long shoe for the primary front shoe and the short shoe on the secondary rear shoe.

[@patrickwilley7799]

Love the content you do can't wait till the rolled runner is running

[@jasonspringett5367]

Absolutely love ur content and how you save these cars and just run em..

[@jasonbose3507]

I might not agree with how you do things, I have to admit that your very clever with your applications and you have passion in accomplishing the project. Good job!!!

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Hey man, you're watching, hopefully entertained, and not just blindly bashing people. Not all heroes wear capes

[@alanh1406]

I would like to see the AMC get worked on. BTW it looks like you had another orb/bug float by at around 30:23 or so. Perfect for this time of year.

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Aliens?

[@srv442]

Just more reasons why I love this channel so much - love the no nonsense attitude and budget approach while cracking me up on each video with humor and just getting things done. Awesome job friend! Yeah let’s see more of the Eagle!

[@PoleBarnGarage]

I got her fired up last night. I want to get a little bit further on the Roadrunner, then I think I can work on the eagle some

[@rickrice3221]

Glad to see you back on the ‘runner!

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Oh yeah. Let's get her back on the road

[@m1a1hm]

As someone who was around in the 80's all i can say is AWESOME WORK DUDE!! The Rollrunner is looking TOTALLY RAD!!

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Thanks man, keep truckin

[@bobadam7021]

Something that might have worked better for that wheel is taking 5/16" braided rope. brush the metal down with epoxy and wrap it around until you get the desired thickness. It would look cool too.

[@ianjones4071]

Hi another great no nonsense video, keep up the great work cheers mate

[@Pushrod_Criff]

Great to see ya back on this one!! Been waiting!

[@OSXMan]

Please, wear safety glasses when using cut off discs. When they break and go flying, they embed in things. You definitely don't want one of those things being your eye. Great content!

[@mrromantimothy]

it's like the Ring of Saturn you keep your mug out of the circumference and other body parts you can't afford to lose, back in '80s me and my brother were self employed we used a lot of rotary die grinders (like a giant Dremel ) it's like 25,000 RPM using a rotary rasp or a sanding drum on wood, I didn't mess around, I used a full face shield and he liked to use goggles, till he got slapped on the cheek by one of those sanding drums, that flew apart.

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Yeah I know. Aviators work great

[@terrallputnam7979]

Amen, I had a death wheel fly apart when I was grinding on something and it cut through my t shirt and cut two places on my stomach area. Hurt like heck. Could have been much worse.

[@WingmanJohnny]

Coming along pretty good on the roll runner. Keep up the great work and I will keep on watching

[@blodhemn413]

Highly entertaining and Informative stuff, as usual. Looking forward to seeing the Rolled Runner come together and seeing that Eagle make some noise.

The rolled runner is so cool. Can’t wait to see more of your content. Eagle is definitely something I would like seeing. It’s pretty cool. And can’t wait to see how you bring that car back from the dead.

[@vincemajestyk9497]

Good job, that came out pretty nice! I have a couple of the old style flaring tools. US made ones. I never used that NiCopp line but have been wanting to try it. I have a couple lines that I need to change on my wagon that rotted out where they were bolted to the frame. GM B body under MC before the Prop. valve. I bought some SS prebent lines from Fine Lines and the guy there was not big on the NiCopp. I would get the Poly Armour coated line over the Galvan coated. That plain steel Galvan rots QUICK. Very thin coating compared to old days. I usually use a big socket to make those loops in the line.

[@PoleBarnGarage]

NICOP is ok. But it wears easy, protect it or keep it away from rubbing

[@vincemajestyk9497]

@@PoleBarnGarage Thanks, that was my concern since it's so easy to bend by hand. I'll probably just use the Poly Armor. I live in a salt area which is why I thought about that copper anyway.

I've actually pounded brake drums with a 20lb sledgehammer so hard they crack and hit the floor in pieces. I've also wailed on them for days and they just laughed at me. One particular drum fought me forever, I was so mad I was gonna borrow a fire wrench then my buddy comes over, barely taps on it & it pulled off. I about lost my sh*t !!!

[@KiwiStag74]

Mate - your application of the persuader (ie: large mallet, forged steel pry bar) reminds me of my own efforts to attend to recalcitrant brake drums. It seems that sometimes they just don't want to play the game, so they need to be taught.....and then it eventually becomes a case of "you or me, pal, and I don't give up" and it's the drum's decision whether it comes off in one piece or many. If they break, they needed replacing anyway, so what the heck..... I've also done the 'race tape padding on the steering wheel' effort too......but I will warn you. When that sucker sits out in the heat of the day, the goo that holds the tape in place melts and one of two things happens. Either it leaks out from underneath the joins and your hands get stuck to anything they touch (both when driving and after you get out the car) or you go to turn the wheel and the steering wheel feels like its alive because one layer is slipping over the top of another and the wheels aren't changing direction much.....and then the 'black goo on the hands thing' happens as well just to top your day off. I went and spent $5 on AliExpress or Wish (I forget which) and bought me a steering wheel cover that I could sew in place nice and tight over the padded layer. I don't have sticky hands after driving the car any more (which saves awkward explanations) and it has a better look and feel too.

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Yes I think now that it's thick enough I may put one of those lace up jobs on it

[@bernhard8540]

A little tip... you don't need to crank down the brake line flare tool clamp.. it just needs to snug onto the line.. if you go to tight you dig into the line and then the fitting won't slide to the end thst you flared. 😊
