What i find impressive is that starter. Completely stuck with rust inside and outside. Yet it could still be opened up sanded down to work again. The starters we have nowadays are throwaways. Once they stop working, replace them.
@@zef1097 why did it used to be cheap enough? accounting for inflation the average worker actually made more money 50 years ago than now, so why is the labor more expensive now to repair something that does the same job as what we already had
Even after being found upside down had those believe the engine actually ran on four cylinders as those know the allegedly broke two pistons trying to get the engine to turn over.
"If it ain't (COMPLETELY) broke(n), don't junk it." It's an attitude that flies in the face of the face of the devolution from planned obsolescence to everything's-disposable
Those engines were designed, drafted, crafted, forged, and built by men who thought about who was going to buy them and drive them. Not a computer calculating engine life versus cost versus bottom line like today's cars.

Great channel for sure.
Ok my hat’s off to you sir on this one. You are one motivated dude.
Thought that one had no chance of running and you proved me wrong . Good job !
I love these videos. Thanks!
Thank you
This is a new level. Subscribed
I love your videos!
My wife asked me if she could go for a "beauty treatment" seeing she's been cleaning the septic pump outside our double-wide.
I told her all she needed was a garden hose and acetone.
I've been sleeping in the garage for a while...
Absolutely love your content. You do everything nobody else will!! Thank you👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
I wasn't sure if this was just a click bait but I had to watch and you actually did get it to "run", for a very low value of "run" but still a lot more than I ever expected! truly inspiring!
That turned out absolutely gorgeous, dude! A fantastic piece to use for years to come! Please keep up this excellent work and videography! You are doing a fantastic job! 🍻🤘💜
Love your videos. If you had never seen them before you'd think it's a wind up but the wrecks you get running are unbelievable. Great work keep it up. The Barracuda illustrates your amazing skill, brilliant
Love the vids man. You are a talented guy.
Привет американским работягам из России! ) Молодец! Круто!
It wants to live....
Thank you for giving it a chance to do so.
So when it was sitting on its side ,
Does that mean it had a slant 6 ?
I believe so lol
❤ THIS GUY HAS OPTIMISM. Well done sir!
When I saw the thumbnail, I thought it was some kind of meme video but this guy is on another level.
I can't believe you were able to get that old engine running. Now that's impressive!!!!
These are great entertainment. Thank you for your content!
This guy has to be the most optimistic and cheery mechanic I have ever seen ("its not too bad")!!!
It’s amazing how you work with what you have and get these engines to fire up! Enjoy your videos!
my man, thanks you a lot for contant like this! it's not the first of your videos I'm watching but seeing these babies run after so much time and harm done to them by it... damn it's really really inspiring. keep up on your channel big man!
looks like it had the MORTSKE REPAIR Valve Job also on Number one cyl. impressive repairs on these old things, i don't think i've seen the piston delete used before :)
Love your videos bro.
Absolutely incredible stuff. always amazes me.
This man is absolutely insane and I love him.
Man that hurts to see. I have the exact same year/make/model myself, though in much better shape. It's absolutely incredible to me that the old flat six fired up after all that torture, and while missing two pistons. Looking forward to the next video
I have the same as you but much better shape this was interesting
It's the design of the engine, rotational mass.
how well does yours run compared to his?
First time watcher so I had my doubts. But that was awesome bud
Holy crap man.. That is a feat. Great stuff.. I'm a new subscriber.
Love this channel… how in the heck he put that Cuda back together as good as he did is inspiring. Wow
Oooh! I can't wait to watch this again and again!
Love your work.
