    Man, the local car shows, just take it the way it is. Go to one every month and let people see the progress you’ve made that month. I’d have thrown in the carpet and front seats and shown it off. You should be proud of what you’ve done.

    • @MontanaGarage

      Yeah, that was my plan but I thought I had time to make the additions. Should knew better...

    Hey Brad 👋, thanks for sharing, and have a great weekend. The car is definitely running well. There are a few things to tighten up . But you did a great job. 👍

      Yeah, still working out a few bugs but so far no major problems since I started driving it a bit more. Thanks for watching!

      Thanks Sean. Yeah, it's a pretty cool feeling being able to hop in the car and go for a cruise. I still have plenty to do, but I am definitely enjoying the car. I appreciate you watcing man!

    Love the sound when you’re going through the gears. I noticed a light flickering under the dash before you got gas. After you stopped it wasn’t on but your tach light was going off and on. Keep after it, it’s coming along nicely.

    • @MontanaGarage
      @MontanaGarage  Před 9 měsíci +1

      Yeah I had a couple issues at the time. One of my door switches wasn't grounding correctly and had some issues with the headlight switch. All good now. Thanks for watching.

    The rear seats look pretty good. The old '55 sounds really nice. Look forward to more. Be safe and stay well.

    I know you have to mod the seat when you do a tub job, you never see the process. Thanks for showing it.

    • @MontanaGarage
      @MontanaGarage  Před 9 měsíci +1

      Thanks man. I'm not sure if my process is right, but it seemed to work. I probably should add a bit of structure back in there though. That sounds like a good winter project, so I'll put it on the list and see if I ever get around to it.

    Nice car , good work and a great channel ( love the sense of humour at your expense).I really appreciate the sound of the car going through the gears , always ...... V8 and a 4 speed. Many thanks.

    @piratescovegarage8269 Před 9 měsíci +1

    Yup, you're a genius! Love seeing it in bare metal. Most of the fabric paints aren't great, but they do serve a purpose. I have a few fleece blankets that I'm going to hog ring to my seats when I get to that point "function" lol I think weather strip will help with some of the rattles

    • @MontanaGarage
      @MontanaGarage  Před 9 měsíci +1

      Thanks Josh. Not the answer I expected when asking if I was a genius...haha. I think weather strip will definitely help some of the annoying noises. t is funny you say that, because I literally just dug out the weather strip kit I bought in 1991. Most of it still seems good after all these years. Guess I'll get that installed, someday.

    Looking & running good. If you need to have an alignment done, take it done to Toms Alignment on Black St. in town. Tom has loads of experience with hot rods & race cars.

    • @MontanaGarage
      @MontanaGarage  Před 9 měsíci

      Thanks for the tip. Tom's is where I plan on taking it, if I ever get around to it. He's probably too busy to get it in before the snow flies now, but I should probably give him a call and fid out.

    I got tired and sweaty watching you struggle a bit with that back seat. Last time I was crawling in and out and over my rollbar my sciatica said Hey I'm Back!!! Otherwise great video Brad 👏

    • @MontanaGarage
      @MontanaGarage  Před 9 měsíci +1

      Thanks Gorni. You know I've gotta get a bit of struggle in each video. Wish I could do away with that, but it seems like it has become pretty standard around here.

    Yea, I started mine on fire a couple times.

      @MontanaGarage  Před 9 měsíci

      I had some hot embers in the seat padding but got lucky and no fires. Still have to weld in some structure though, so still a chance to burn it down (if I ever do that...). Thanks for watching!

      Yep. I actually drilled it out and found a different push button switch to put in there. Like $10 and a bit of work but she's all good now. Thanks for watching!

    Just wondering Did you ever sell The DD speed shop 57 Chevy?

    • @MontanaGarage
      @MontanaGarage  Před 9 měsíci +1

      Yeah I did sell the DDSS '57. I haven't really made any "new" content recently so I haven't mentioned it. I'll probably make a little blurb about it at some point, even though t is getting to be old news by now. Thanks for watching and following along.

      Yeah I was having a ground issue. They plug in with one of those bullet style connectors, and I just couldn't get a good connection. I think I have it dialed in now. Thanks for watching!

    Dude I’m sorry to say but you really ruined the seats and bolt cutters to remove the springs

    • @MontanaGarage
      @MontanaGarage  Před 9 měsíci +1

      Thanks for the tip on the bolt cutters. Seems like they would work better. Unfortunately I don't have any or maybe I would have thought to try them. Did I ruin the seat with the paint, or by hacking up the frame, or both? Anyways, it's "mostly" black and in the car, so good enough for me. Tanks for watching.
