- UPDATE: The ebay auction has ended, and this buggy should be going to a new home soon.
Last time I took this buggy out I realized that the high RPM engine and old, stiff tires did not work. In this video I change out the tires and the engine. I also add a hood over the engine, so it doesn't get filled with water when it rains. Now its works almost like a normal vehicle!
That brings up the problem. This was built as a water pumper buggy at least 50 years ago, so it's a bit of automotive history. So far I've just added to what was there to make it work. Now I'm having thoughts of long travel suspension and other major modifications. I don't think that changing history is right, so I can't own this anymore because I won't be able to leave it alone. It needs a new home!
Years ago, a stranded motorist stopped in front of my house late at night with an overheating problem. I made a thermostat gasket out of an old paper milk carton, used 2 layers, and worked fine, and they made it back to Ohio.
Milk carton gaskets work really well. Trinidad Co. To ABQ. N.M. no leaks on water pump of old Oldsmobile
I'm glad someone else also uses the term "Precision Eye-crometer"
I missed that. It's a good one!
I would have been rooting for Low-Buck Garage over Finnegan. This thing is cool.
This dude is the best
@@remko1238Definitely! Editing his own videos, filming and taking care of his CZcams channel, juggling 12 projects at once, and being about 10 yrs older than me inspires me a bit to get off my lazy ass and finish something.
Thing is Finnegan is a nice guy and has always been a fan of people that do this sorta thing, it's really the race commentator that was being a real dick but i wouldn't blame Finnegan for that.
I'd LOVE to make this street legal. Looks like a fun little summer driver.
running engine goes outside under an old sign and a ripped up rag, blown up engine goes in the shed 😂😂😂 i love your style! NEVER CHANGE
The makers of the spray paint. Should be 1 of your sponsors. Because you do use a lot of rattle cans. lol Great Videos to watch.
How hasn't this channel popped off to a million subs yet? It's coming. Once you hit somebody's feed any they shout you out-- you're gunna be huger than huge. Best videos.
Yeah, it fast became one of my top 5 on YT.
Cool perfect timing
I see what you did there although it took me a while as I'm a little retarded.
Probably one of the best Ebay sale listings ever. All the best with the sale!
The only thing it's missing is a Low-Buck Garage sticker on the back, like real dealers use so that the paint gets ruined when you remove it.
@@TheOtherBill The paint was ruined when he sprayed it :)
@@TheOtherBill loled pretty hard at this, until i saw the next comment :B
Low-Buck Garage is literally a mixture of Vice Grip Garage and Mustie1. Keep up the good work Low-Buck
Don't insult James by comparing him to that juvenile, annoying clown at Vice Grip Garage.
Here I am going back watching some of your earlier videos. Al I ca say is thank you for being a bit above average in the looks department (we’re tied) because you are WAY smarter than most of us in the “how to” department!
You sir are my favorite YT automotive how to channel. I watch dozens of these web sites and you are heads and shoulders better than every other one! I thank you and the others for the ideas you offer. I’m pretty good on the body and paint aspects(won a bunch of car shows and had a few well known people comment and or buy my vehicles, but you are special. Thank you!
You must be having fun, because I had fun watching, thank you.😁
This series has given me all sorts of ideas. Bad for my wallet. Good for my entertainment. Nice work!
I love everything about this, save for the fact that I can't buy it.
Just found your channel. Love your obvious skills and ability to 'just make it work' attitude. It's a great combination.
Great video......its nice to see I'm not the only one who has to look over the rim of my glasses to see stuff close up ;)
The humor in this video is spot on.
This hot rod is sooooooooooo cool... the exhaust note is great!
You make things like cleaning up the engine, dressing it with an intake, carb and pan and headers seem quick. Having done it I know it's a lot of hours of fun.
Don't ever change, 'Buck' - plenty of laughs and entertainment better than anything on TV today. I just wish I was with you...
Kudos & Respect from the Great White North, eh!
You put other you tube channels to shame.absolutley brilliant Chanel
I liked your tire and wheel engineering with parts on hand.
Really like your style.
Nice work.
Cheers from Schuylklll County PA
Congratulations, this is quickly becoming my favorite CZcams video channel.
Thanks for sharing
Love it reminds me of the old water pumper buggies rocking around imperial sand dunes in the 60 70s
Man. I started going to the imperial sand dune's in the early 80's what a blast !
I love it, new old sensor going in 😂
It sure looks like a lot of fun even if it rattles a few teeth loose
Awesome as always 👍👍👍
I'm glad you're moving on in life and selling this one
Yet another top-shelf video from Low Buck Garage!
Damn, if I wasn’t in the UK, I’d buy it. Looks a whole lot of fun to throw around a quarry.
"Still RPM'ing"...😎
That's my next T-shirt text!
Please don't stop teaching me things haha
No wonder it took you 13 days since your last video , good job this Has got to be one of your best videos ! thx 👍👍
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
That's a great hotrod ! I hope whoever buys it stays in touch with any updates. Me, I'd just send it !
In the early '70s, I bought a 1956 Willys CJ-5. At that time, larger, wider wheels weren't available. The next best thing was to do exactly as you did. Punch out the rivets and find a wider car wheel to weld it to. Later, farm implement wheels were made with the Jeep bolt pattern. Unfortunately, the tire selection was kind of slim. You could get wide tires, but the tread was only 8" wide. They looked funny. A big fat sidewall and skinny tread design.
Love your understated brilliance in providing solutions and bringing things to life.
Really like your channel. Great humor, creativity and git-er-doneness in all your videos and website. Sadly, no Low-Buck Buggy stickers or merch to be found...
Love the build, have no money to buy. So…cool for whoever ends up with it. Keep building guys that’s half the fun.
I am 80, and that was how I reversed rims in the late 50s and early 60s. I never bothered to reverse the fill valves, but that was only a minor inconvenience. They looked good enough, that two of them were stolen out of the box of my pickup. I call that good enough. Fun video.
When I first started wathing you build the hood, I was skeptical. However that hood came out,dare I say, perfect for this ride!!! This was a really nice build for what you started with! And like you said, the whole thing is a 50+ year design! Real cool buggy to get out there and have fun wtih!!!! KUDOS!
This has become my favorite UTube channel Reminds me of some of the stuff I used to do in the mid 50s when I had more time than money. Had an uncle who had his own garage and built and modified farm equipment, old trucks and autos - was my "hero" growing up.
Keep having fun !
*Eye-crometer!* 🤣 I got a good laugh from that James! That pickup screen was pretty clogged for sure! 😦 Glad you removed the oil pan. Enjoyed the video very much 🙂👍 Hopefully you can find a buyer soon. Take care, be safe and happy wrenching 🔧🔩
That thing is cool lol
Big fan of your channel. The world is going to find you soon and then Heavy D will be calling you for a collaboration.
You deserve wayyyy more subs! Thanks for posting. Take care, stay safe and have FUN!
This is like listening to Hank Hill, and he even has the character pat down. Been hooked since the stuck-wheel-camper-bus episode. Great videos!
Thanks Low-Buck Garage, for taken-us for a ride in ur Off-Rode Buggy. I would love to buy the Buggy, butt like most people, short on money.
That's how I make my gaskets
Great video as usual. I like your thinking and care over the important issues. Lesson 1: always have gasket paper. Lesson 2: always check your oil pick up screen, pump, level & pressure when doing stuff like this. Lesson 3: if your oil pan gets a dent check that it is not cracked or blocking your pick up.
Cool hood, nice work
Yes haww, claiming my spot so I can come back when my brain wakes up. Good luck with that.
Most old cars that had the left hand thread studs have had them replaced by now. A lot of people don't know or have forgotten about them.
My Dad bought a 67 imperial. The driver side studs are left hand thread's. He was trying to remove the front wheel and was struggling with it. I told him they where probably still left hand. Checked and it was. He's been talking about replacing them since but hasn't found a real reason to yet.
Homemade gaskets are where it's at! Great job!
That's a hell-uv-a nice buggy now! So much good work dun to her, you rock!
I just enjoy your entire channel's philosophy. That's the same principles I endorse on my channel. Thank you for the inspiration!
That buggy looks like loads of fun, with a classic touch, nice job!!
Fantastic stormy back drop
Your tire guy definitely doesn’t have to answer to a corporate manager
This would have to be one of your best videos. That was a lot of work you got through but also a hell of a lot of fun and I learnt a few things along the way. Thanks heaps. Cheers, Stuart 🇦🇺
Good thing those lug nuts came with instructions.
A new old sensor is going in. Love your style.
I've used the same yellow tote lid as a parts cleaning tray for almost 2 years. Has a lot of scrapes and scratches, but no holes or cracks. Might be worth keeping!
Wow!! You’ve got a LOT of “stuff”…😎. Cool stuff.
Alex, I’ll take things I’d never think I’d see Low Buck doing for 1000 please. “Low Buck plays with sheet metal to add to aesthetics of a vehicle…” “What is Body Work Alex!”😂😂😂😂😂😂
This little buggy made Barn Finds today! Way to go
Amazing what can be done with enough spare "stuff"!
I Love this guy
I have a 69 RHD DJ5 postal Jeep that I was planning on building similarly. I have a chevy 400 and a turbo 350 trans in the garage for the build. I wanna just cut the top off and get going, but the body is in great shape, so Ive been looking for someone looking for a clean body in a trade, so I dont feel bad cutting something so cool. haha
A use for rattle cans other than graffiti, who would have thought? Great informative, entertaining and instructional vid again James, cant wait for your next!
That thing is bonkers...
And I love it!🤘😎
Nice job on the sand buggy she really has some good torque now with better tires and the new engine that thing looks great...
that exhaust setup is rad.
Excellent
Your good enough is almost good enough for me, I'm in az,I'll come get it.
CZcams never puts my id
This channel is so much fun.
Central California watching
That is why I love Harbor Freight tools. If you get an electric tool for $12 that does five jobs and then craps out, you still got your money's worth. Of course not practical for a business shop. I have an angle grinder that I have used here and there, over 25 years! Cost me $12 and it still works. I bought it at one of those "Rent the Hall" tool sales. I also bought a can opener for $6. I opened my tuna can for lunch with it, this past week.
That's awesome! And yeah, I'm picking up trash every time I head out in the woods here.
The Red Pinstriping? 👍👍 It POPS!! 💥 Reminds me of pinstriped tires for cars _and_ bicycles from the late 60's / early 70's.
Would like to have the Jeep! It is very nice! I think about all the different years and models pieces that you have put in there. I enjoy watching!
The more I watch your channel the more I like it, thanks.
Some young guy will have a lot of fun with that and you've given them a really good start, low buck or not. Great work!
This thing is my favorite thing on the Internet.
Your videos are so entertaining- thank you!
Moons! Always a good choice.
Wow, that was such a fun video, tks for taking us along!
Good enough is exactly what you need.
Anything more, and either money or fun will start disappearing, usually both.
You do a lot better job than you give yourself credit for and your a great troubleshooter! Looking forward to your next project.
Always enjoy your content
Painting gaskets with axle grease before installation keeps them from sticking to flanges…
works for intake gaskets, theoretically for other gaskets. They still fill the void completely, and axle grease works in place of goop. The intake has almost as much vacuum as coolant has pressure, and air leaks through smaller holes than water.
I just thought of that, so I haven't tried it yet
The other great use for those paint sticks is rusty beads on wheels, works much better than most bead sealers, and it is less messy in mounting and future dismounts.
Damn good starting price. If i had it, i would definitely try for it
Is the rear open ,or a posi ? Your version of good enough is pretty damn awesome your Builds are way cool ,your commentary as your working makes me laugh my butt off
Thanks! The rear is open, but the weight is far enough back that it doesn't really matter a whole lot. If you get crossed up a front tire just comes off the ground, and both rears still have traction.
First time viewer here. Really enjoyed this content, especially the deadpan ironic delivery. “Good enough garage” seems like a more appropriate channel name but you got yourself a new sub nevertheless. Looking forward to watching future vids and browsing your past posts. Best regards from 🇬🇧
I like the way you work! You're my kinda guy.
I like how you fabrafit to make things work. 👍
That turned out very good.
Cool great project in the Low buck Fashion . Getter done with what you have and and with low as buck as possible 😁
A nice assortment of fired pew-pew’s will punch out bolt holes in new gasket
Looks like a lot of fun!
Love your approach to CZcams. Great projects and great adventure!
