‘65 Plymouth buried in the woods, is it worth restoring?
zhlédnutí 490Před 7 měsíci
I found a 1965 Plymouth Fury III in the woods up in Oregon House, CA and towed it back to my place where we dig into it and see what it's going to take to make it run and drive well enough to handle a road trip.

What was your cost on all the supplies to do this?
2k not including the trailer itself.
What is the finished weight? Trailer and box.
I can't remember. I believe I weighed it in the sale video I made for it.
why not just use fiberglass resin instead of tight bond?
@@mmafreaks4871 if I was going to do it again I would. I think it only makes sense if you are trying to do everything as close to free as possible.
@@MotherlodeMotors I saw where someone else said they use tight bond because it smells better. lol I mean that makes sense. fiberglass in the garage can smell for weeks.
love my 31 A swapped in a geo metro engine and a 9 inch rear, she moves now,I can get to 60 mph now!
62 Galaxie vs 65 Fury? We had one of those Galaxies for a few years. In about 1968 the heads were rebuilt which did not stop the excessive oil burn, but it was less. It had 100k on it and the engine was about as sludgy as this Fury. For the Fury - A set of KYB shocks all around and a tightening of the steering box usually makes a big C body Chrysler a very happy driver. I think I used the Dodge 1/2 ton style of rear KYB shocks as they have a longer rod travel. They usually ride and handle better when set at the highest recommended setting. Set the height before the alignment, it changes the geometry if the height is changed. FYI, there is a bit of rear steering in the Hotchkiss design rear axle with leaf springs and articulating shackles. With the anti dive, anti squat, and anti roll geometry that Chrysler engineered, they make great highway eating road cars.
How has no one mentioned the spider?!
Weed fabric is better, imo. Lays nicer.
Your choke lever was originally the hand throttle
Don't you have "Start ya bastard" in the states?. Best aerosol product ever for starting engines.
Just great nice car thanks.
Story of my life, gotta work on something before I can use it
Spraying it with the paint you purchased would have given you better results.
MKe it look good by: 1) iron your canvas on 2) sand down once dry to clear up seams. 3) 25% water not 50 4) sand between EVERY coat of paint. 5) don’t listen to chrisgriffith because his art work doesn’t go flying down the highway at 60-70mph (80 here in Texas) 6) either way, nice freaking work on this man!
❤❤❤❤ looking very nice 👍👍👍👍👍👍
What wire is for the window to go down?
The Ford fit perfectly in the town where you bought the Pizza... Looked like a very nice, well-kept old town. Where was that?

Take it back to 1930 as much as possible it's much cooler that way
I think you forgot one step an that is you have to bleed master cilinder
You can do it after you install it on the car.
Worry about welding and grinding near the gas tank , otherwise a good repair.Happy motoring
Love how it's all original that's one thing I want is to have one all original with the mohair seats and everything
Paul Shinn channel is a great channel with loads of info on the Model A. Those ar such fun cars I myself is thinking about getting one I would really love a 1932 ford but those things are so expensive and hard to find a good one because many were used as Hot Rods and still are today but the modal A is really cool.
Nice job!
It looks awesome, you did terrific on fiberglass and paint
Wrap those pipes with some aluminum foil, then make a small canal and the oil will flow right into that oil pan
Interesting video. I've been noodling on the idea of buying a Model A. I live in the California desert. While I don't need (or want) to drive on our scorcher days, but to know that a mechanically sound car will be fine on our normally warm days is comforting. Thanks so much. you might invest in a radiator guard to protect that pretty new Brassworks improvement.
Enjoying the Journey with your Fury. It’s a Great watch and learning a lot. That’s what’s it all about with these cherished Mopars. Im looking forward to the future content. Cheers from a fellow Fury II owner.
Does the roughness of the exterior capture dirt more than a smooth, less "porous" (rough) surface?
Since you have a Model A Ford, I believe it would be worth it to join the Model A Ford Club of America.
Running on the Stromberg 97 is an oldschool way of hot rodding in the day. What you have is a 4 banger hot rod. You didn't say whether or not the head is a high compression head or not. My 4 banger uses a Stromberg 81 and I have had great performance with it. It is an original 81 and I have read that it is preferred for the 4 cylinder over the 97. Of course the Zenith carb would be a good choice to go back to.
Use a screw on door knob bumper on the door aligned with the contact point. They make stainless steel and you can paint escutcheon black to match.
Drill new holes on the window for drains and fill the wrong holes with LEXEL. If the functions don’t damage camper trying to “ fix it”!
Same issue with VW valve covers… dry cork and a bale to compress the seal… upgrades include covers with two bolts.😅
Use a micro fiber roller and Rustoleum above the waterline paint as the top coat… results in a very smooth finish.
Great, I watch this every year!
are you fix the problem?
Head gasket ,a lot of seepage !!!!!

You get used to double clutching, I would not change the gearbox, it becomes second nature. Give it time.

I have a 2014 Buick Lacrosse and I am having a hard time finding a door wire harness tried eBay. The dealership has discontinued it any suggestions is anything similar to it?
Where do find the connectors
I found some on Amazon. I think your video has been the most helpful I found. My Saturn ion almost all wires are broken on driver's door. Thanks for this video
من فکر میکنم با توجه به ظرافتی که بخرج دادی وزحمتی که کشیدی ۳۵۰۰ دلار قیمت کمی بود امیدوارم ادامه بدی وکار رو تکملتر کنی وبه قیمت بالاتر بفروشی من مجاب شدم که از کار شما کپی کنم وصاحب یک مینی کمپر شوم 🌹👍
Put a diesel in a model A , you should be arrested
Call the cops
So Novi Scored a bit of p..... never mind.
I’m really enjoying watching your videos. I love your 1.5” PVC hose flushing setup. We are working on my dad’s car that’s been sitting for 40 years and going to install the same radiator this weekend. I’m going to use your flushing technique before we do- I think dad will be impressed! Thanks again!
When you put that hub cap back on, I have a 1930 Model A take the wheel off put the hub cap on and on the inside of the wheel bend those tabs over that are sticking through. the hub cap will never fall off again.
Good job replacing that head gasket. Liking your sedan and the 1931 SW Cabriolet Convertible.
I need to replace drivers door harness on my 2006 sienna but can't get to first base. ALL the wires were cut and somebody pulled them out to inside of the car. Only place I see on inside of car to pass the harness is a 1/2 by 1" slot in the car frame. Seems too small to pass connectors through! Help!😅😅
I'm not familiar with that specific vehicle but the harness may need to be installed in the door first and then fished into the car. I'd probably get another harness instead of trying to repair in that situation. You can also find a u-pick junkyard and go see what it's supposed to look like.
Thank you
