Don't stress about jumping around in the videos man, This is what we sign up for here.
I love seeing the insights into Philly and the things that interest you!
Well said , love Chris's videos for being genuine
A personality type that I think the viewers relate too and what makes the videos watchable an hour+ in
Jumping around allows you to have more content per video / longer videos. A lot of us want and appreciate this.
Thankyou for the videos. The longer the better
Agreed.
Just be you Chris, just be you.....
I really like the side tracks, exploring the old building, learning about the trash mound builder, and the sledge-hammer dis-assembly. Thanks.
I completely agree. What is said and shown explicitly in the videos is actually really interesting and unique in relation to the format, such as the "Philly Ride" video on NNKH2. Chris has great knowledge and communication skills. The fact that we also get Jennifer, Gus and Turbo on board only increases the appeal and quality of the videos. Car videos are sometimes too boyish in my opinion. This is without a doubt entertainment at a high level and I look forward to each new video. Keep up the good work Chris and Jen.
Yeah the side tracks are actually
what makes this channel great imo
As well as the side tracks of Gus's territory.
Me to that a place to be chilling at without no headaches
I have a 70s Lincoln sitting in my grandma's yard and it's been sitting for 30 years and it's a continental 🤘
That look Jen gave you was priceless.
Very lucky man. She's a good sport.
Nice car very nice , but not for demolition the car doesn't deserve that sir
I can't say enough how much one of your videos popping up brightens a guy's weekend Chris, especially after a grueling week it's great just to kick back and enjoy some good old Know how.Thanks for putting my smile back.
Glad you like them!
Old cars, Urban exploration, love this channel.
Appreciate you very much for tuning in
First time I have come across your channel. Very entertaining and educational
Waiting for part 2
Recovering and old vehicle and an abandoned building explore in one video...
This is literally 50% of my life. I'm on board!!
Fun to watch as well. Thank you for sharing it with us
Да он раскурочил пол машины, сломал хорошие дверные вставки, весь прикол его видео это запустить движок и заставить машину ехать, это не восстановление.
Best part of this whole thing is the old house. Quality content man. Love the way you keep things real and fresh in every vid. Don't know what these people are smoking saying that you stage these. Come on people...this guy is as authentic as they get
I don't care how long these videos are or it jumps around all over the place. I watch every minute! Thanks Chris!
Now we know why the vice grip garage videos are 2 hour plus sometimes. Love this one but in my perfect world Chris has to drive this thing 500 miles to get home. That's next level.
I always squint when you pull such big and heavy cars, even though I know that if the line breaks, I'm safe.
Your channel is the only one I'm a member of because you really stand out from the crowd! You take the time to explain without exaggeration, you take the time to show all the details how small or unnecessary they seem to be and all that makes your channel my favorite. The people who think you're arranging the cars don't know who you are.
Keep doing what you're doing and don't change your ways so you become like one in the crowd!
Greetings from Sweden.
Thanks so much for tuning in and your over the top support!
I just squint...makes em look better. 😂😂😂
you can open your hood to stop a rusty bumper through the windshield
@NoNonsenseKnowHow try that for a daily driver keep it
I agree totally. Best wishes from Norway.
Your a hard worker, I've worked with my hands all my life, I'm now 71 , and appreciate others that do the same! Enjoy your random projects.
When the World is Spinning out of Control, I tune in to NNKH and all is Good ! Thanks for Your Good Work Chris! ( And Jen) !
My idea is after you drive it and see if its engine and transmission are okay. You and Jen go out west to find a rust free Ford truck that needs an engine and transmission to swap it into. Also that look Jen gave you while she was cleaning up the interior was a definite example of a World Class Stinkeye!
I think that is a Splendid Idea! Old Pick up or Panel Wagon. Scout or a Wagon. Maybe a COE? Somenty Options I tell ya
How about a rust free Maverick? That 460 will slip right in, after you stand on the fenders and beat the shock towers in. Ask me how I know. 😂
Love it
I 💯% agree with this message....lol
I like this idea! No reason to scrap the 460 or trans. I'm sure there's a great body needing a drive train!
Nice job backing that trailer through the narrows!
Thanks!
I don't know if you were just saving this for you're first video of the year of not... this is top notch. The way you shook the hood when vacuuming.. you've done this all tooo ooo many times. Thank you for another great additions to the University of CZcams. Wonderful contribution sir.
the man fixed a window with a plasma cutter. My hero. Seeing houses that close together and all the cars parked on the street is amazing as to me.
Everything's an easy fix when you have a plasma torch in your hand. LOL. Too tempting
Nuttin like an Igglez party amongst back yard row house folk ;-p
Fence hoppin like a MUfug, yay YEAH 😅
pull the engine & tranny - - recycle the rest (ima ford fanatic but i know rust) @@NoNonsenseKnowHow
My apartment in San Francisco was so close to the building next to it that they would slap into each other during earthquakes.
You Making long videos is awesome! It's really cool that you show different stuff on your show. Even when you go out looking at other old things besides cars! 👍👍
the way the lights opened and closes say to me she deserves another chance at life. or at least a burnout or two great vid chris as always
Kinda hard to explain it, but I always seem to imagine that these old Vehicles have some kind of gratitude for someone taking the time to give them some attention by trying to start them up, like the Car is trying its best to help that someone bring it back to life again....
You are absolutely the best equipped person I have ever seen on CZcams. You kick ass over Matt’s off road and Trailmater, VGG , etc. Damn good truck and all!
No he's not
Trailmater is the GOAT of off-road vehicle recovery.
“Yes, let’s go bother the guy that bought the car from a guy that we haven’t met and make him prove that he bought it as if the car hasn’t been sitting there rotting for 30 years.” Lol
Some people can't mind their own goddam business.
I do not know but I'm with you
Peoples got exasperated, I do not agree with them but I understand them, life go south you try to straight things but things, in real life, works different than you think
When I saw the guy....I was like, well that figures!
Ever since Pawn Stars an that one Pickers show Aired Now Era body thinks there junks worth somethin cracks me up 😂 Hey hey where u Goin with that Junk!?? Like Come on already!!;
This guy is great! He’s what American men used to be before 2010 or so. Great ethics, hardworking, knowledgeable and resourceful. I’m glad to see not all modern men have turned in to narcissistic, mentally ill, know nothings.
I can’t believe how good it ran, surprised the heck outta me. Unfortunately I can only see a few options for its future… a demo derby car, part out, or scrap. It does have good scrap value right now (at least in my area) and was certainly worth yanking outta there.
That winch is impressive 😮
That's a heavy Lincoln, in park and brakes locked up!
That angry guy in Philly was stressful to watch, I can't imagine how you felt lol
Stressful huh? 🤣 I imagine you don’t leave your safe space too often.
I didn't think he was angry, just tired from being stuck for 24+ hours.
@@Joesmusclecargarage coming from a creepy old man that asks for feet pics of Jen, yeaaaa you're winning at life lmao
@@Justntoysyeah wtf. I thought you were joking but apparently not 😒
@@JoesmusclecargarageJesus Christ dude, a weirdo like you has no room to cop an attitude like that with anyone. I hope the internet is your safe space so you don’t subject the general public to your weird ass personality.
1:03:11 In Canada we pay a deposit on all our bottles. This means that you can retyrn them for money if you bring them to a bottle depot. All thos bottles would be worth about 10 cents each and the larger ones 2 liter or liquor are 25 cents each. You can bring a bunch of bottles in and get $60 to $100 if yourr have a few. As well there are people that walk around collesting them all the time. Maybe this isn't the case in some states or all of them? I don't know.
I used to work at a Lincoln Mercury dealership in the New Car Make Ready back in 1978-1979. Repairing all the mistakes the manufactures made, like fluid levels, idle speeds, timing and just check all over the vehicles. Afterwards test drive drive them was fun and a thrill. Hardest was getting them out of the lot with just inches of maneuvering them out in tight spaces being big cars.
Jen is such a trooper 😊
Surprised me they would show up with a medieval mace to defend a rotting car getting trailered. When they aren't owners. 😂
I guess it helps to have good neighbors? 😂
@@Hbzprojects exactly 👍
And a chain!
Germantown ? They didn't look German 🙄
Stop moaning
The level of dedication and gumption shown in this video deserves a sub. The depth and “no nonsense know how” is flabbergasting. I’m a true fan of this channel because the adventure and the family being included. Not to mention you actually have your own style and you’re not just copying VGG and his cadence like so many others. Obviously this is a real talent of yours and you actually make great content with your own original style. Well done sir. This is one of the few few revival channels I can watch from start to finish every single video just as I did this one!
Don't worry about your videos being boring...just stay natural..of all of them you are no.1...love Jen and gus .keep up the great entertainment .you are amazing 🎉 and aa dam cool dude...
If there is a plan to raise the Titanic, Chris is the man for the job 😂
And he'd do it with his airboat and a harbor freight winch. LOL
Did you know the pool is still full on the titanic!!
@@StarlightWorkshop0z🤣
😂
A NNKH video can never be to to long! vooral zo doorgaan i would say in dutch
You’re braver than me in dragging that thing home.
Any chance you could find a used motor for the Toyota? That truck is now famous! I was utterly amazed you saved it from the river. You have amazing skills.
Oh, Jen is amazing, lol. Amazing !!
Chris, I LOVE it when your videos go all over the place! Don’t ever stop what you are doing brother! 👍🇨🇦
Love that you take interest in malaise era cars, with time on either side, but this time period of vehicles is some of my favorite.
I always loved land yachts even as a young kid. Owned a W123, now I own a “modern” land yacht, LS430. Can’t beat that UZ.
I really enjoy seeing you pull out these kinda cars though. Nice to kick back with a beer and see where it goes.
It's a 78-79. The 77s had fender skirts and the 460. 78s and 79s had the 400 with the 460 as an upgrade but it was so emissioned out that it was rather anemic in my experience. You just can't beat that 70's design and engineering.
Thanks a lot, Chris. Your content is amazing.
Def a 78. The bodside moldg on the qtr goes almost to the bumper and the dash trim is stainles The 79's had wood trim shorter qtr mldg and 400 eng only
YES! I love your "will it run" videos!!
Love old car resurrection videos, and i love the way you make them. If you make 10h video like this, i will watch all of it. Thanks
Been watching you a long time man, love the adventures and your random distractions into shady buildings. Thanks for keeping me awake and amused on a Saturday morning.
No way these videos have been staged! Keep up the, love it!
Man, I never do tire of watching your videos! I love the urban exploration and saving old cars. That old Lincoln fired right up just like you said.
There's an old cheezy movie from around 1978 called "The Car". The car used was a Lincoln continental heavily modified by George Barris. He called it his maddest creation ever.
Maybe a build like that would be fun. Keep up the terrific videos, Cheers!
I give you credit for working in such tight spaces. I guess I take it for granted I live on 50 acres with a driveway you could easily drive a semi through. Kudos to you brother.
Love Lincoln cars, they are the status symbol of american luxury😍
I like the jumping around. Should be good bucks for the motor and rear end.
There's something satisfying about seeing old cars sitting around for year's running again and also when they get restored.
I sincerely doubt this one is going to be restored. It's probably gonna have one last hurrah in something like he said like a demolition derby then it's going to get junked. It would cost an immense amount of money more than it's worth to restore.

Great episode! I really like the old building exploring at 13:00!
What a neat old building in Germantown. It's SO cool over there.. very historic.. I like going through town on a nice spring day over there. It really does have some gems of buildings and old homes there.. thanks for going through that neat old dilapidated home. Very cool Chris!
Probably my Favorite CZcamsr. You've got this down. Hope to follow along for many successful, and blessed years.
Appreciate that! Thank you
Totally enjoy what you do! Don't change a thing. She is a beautiful car. If nothing else, the trim, glass etc will help someone. Keep up the good work!
Ffs as soon as you showed the gates to that place I remembered that exact video 😂. Didn’t even need the flashbacks lol
Poor Jenifer. That clean-up is worth a lot more than a dinner. Great outfit too.
I sure do love your content! Always, always something new to see. P.s. the side track adventures make the videos better!
Love your "side-shows and the off-topics" !
That's whats makes you authentic and for me as a non-Us citizen is also very interesting to see.
Keep it up! 👍
Can’t believe you got that running, good for you getting those kids littering I can’t stand people that just throw their garbage out the window, people suck. You are a true mechanic to work in those freezing temperatures
Большой ржавый Линкольн! Мне нравится! Красивая машина! Классное получилось видео! Круто Круто!!!👍👍👍
When you organize the truck, make sure to do a walkthough. I stole your idea of storing truck parts and fluids under the hood on all my vehicles now, but I keep seeing clever little ideas like the bungee across the back door for more storage etc.
(this is Ronnie BTW!)
Hey Ronnie! Awesome! And yeah I'll have to do that
without fail the close captions always say APPLAUSE when an old classic is towed out of its grave. There is no actual applause but it feels right.
Lmfao when Jennifer showed up with a hazmat suit on to clean the interior of the car.
Long episodes are good. Enjoy all of them. Great to see gus having a ball
OMG Chris, this episode had me grinning ear to ear from start to finish. 👍😁
Every single time I see you pull a trailer through Philly I'm reminded why I hate east coast cities and their ridiculously narrow streets. Lol. Love the work you do Chris. I can't wait for your next video.
Seen this posted Friday. Saved it for Saturday morning, coffee and NNKH! ☕️🔧
Awesome! Thanks so much for tuning in
Great video as always Chris. I for one appreciate the little 'side quests' you put in these videos. Lovely old yacht shame its so rotten, we have the same trouble with rust here. Maybe you should paint it black and pretend its the car from 'The Car'! I hope you made it up to Jen and Gus! Much love from England bruvva.
In the 60s and 70s my father had an autobody shop in Westchester County NY and he was the only shop with a frame straightener.
Almost every Lincoln mark that rolled off a car carrier had a bent frame and buckled rear quarters due to the sheer length of the wheel base causing the rear frame to hit the ground and bending upwards buckling the quarters.
He perfected the frame repairs that automatically took the bucle out of the quarters without any bodywork (obviously not all) ANCHOR FREIGHT finally retrofitted the ramps to stop the carnage lolol
Chris, you have a good taste of music, Elvis sings at 1:08:43 . I love Elvis. I remember 1977 when my mom told me that The King has passed, but he hasn't, we Elvis fans know that.
Agree with others in here. I don't come here for a rigid, structured vid with professional production. Although Chris does a fantastic job on the production end of things.... that's just not the point. The point is.... we love hanging out with Chris, Jen, Turbo and the Gussinator. The side tracks, side-roads, skate-board treks, urban exploration, river ratting.... and everything else is... what makes it so fun.
Just more coolness. I find it very satisfying to watch Chris working on finding tires and cleaning up the wheels. Is that weird?
There's more metal in that bonnet than my entire car. 😂
I just pulled an '88 Diplomat cop car (ex-Prince George County Sheriff's unit) from a backyard in Lanham, MD last week. The high temp was 27, rear tires flat, rear brakes locked on, it was uphill in the far end...it sucked, had to have a tow truck use his wheel lift to grab & help set the car on the trailer -which thankfully has a winch. Once loaded, had to then drive it south to NC by way of DC metro area & down through Richmond. I got the car via an online estate auction, and it was $254.20 after taxes & fees
Please pick up that mg Roadstar
Ohh yes, this is epic, you took this old warship through the tight docks.:) This time I had doubts that she would start, but closed her eyes like a basilisk come to life! I think the Rat style suits her very well.
if you made a 2 or 3 hour video I would watch it all! I remember those cars back then,it was during a gas shortage and they still sold..riding in them was like "sitting in your living room" Very nice trunk lock pick and universal "key" LOL!! Keep up the good work and wear eye and breathing protection..
25:57 That road you turned onto is pretty dang cool. It still has trolley tracks and the overhead power wires.
i still daily drive my 1979 Lincoln town car, although its the engine is the 400. still drives good, got a new gas tank coil and all new brake lines as well a new hydro booster for the master cylinder. i am looking for those retractable antenna as there unobtanium as well as the plastic signal lights corners are impossible to find.
All I could think of was, the plague when you opened the door😂
That guy wanted to take Chris out for a drink. Chris is like “I’m good!” I’m sure Chris is really playing Golden Nugget when on his phone during the plug.
Hey Chris here’s a British slang word for you “Minging” meaning utterly disgusting. That Lincoln tested my ability to see through to the good bits. Great vid bro keep em coming I love your work.
Oh wow! This is typically my favorite ones; old car, old place, old building... And the way you do it is so great!
The fact that this car statrs so quickly is just stunning! it was waiting for the prince charmant to wake her up!
I am surprised by the size of the fuel tank; seems really small right? My old CX from 84 has a 68 litres(18 gallons).
The way Jen lost her smile openning the door....😆😆 thanks for thoses nice moments and for sure, if I wasn't in france, this is the type of car I would drive now!
90 % of gamblers quit right before hittin it big, so never stop and keep going
Lol. Where did you find these stats at haha. Sounds like a good billboard phrase for a casino
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow thats what im saying, its a meme from insta
Sure like to see the results. Hopefully it will be worth the effort you put into it. Besides I really like to your home town when drive around town. Looking forward to part 2.
Fun One. Dalton must be drooling.
We had a 79, it was the quietest floating boat but when you hit the gas, it moved. Now that I am older I understand why my dad preferred those for long drives and floating over uneven roads.
“There it is.” Yep. That widowmaker muffler. Hilarious! I’m glad it went your way, Chris!
I like the long videos very much. I enjoy seeing the local area as well. Would love to see you set up a shop truck with a service body for yourself. I enjoy all truck stuff. 👨🏻🚒👍🏼
Greatly enjoy your channel. Love it how you're not a bit afraid to get your hands dirty and do the work.
I wish I had half the patience you do to handle these people talking to you like that. I’m sure you have your moments when you get frustrated, but you’re such a chill dude. Haha
What a beautiful car. That has to be a 1978 or 1979 Town Car. That’s a true gem right there 🤩
Back in the day that house must have been amazing today I don't believe it could be saved but then again you got that car running!
I wish you leave somewhere in midwest where junkers are more available. You do have talent reviving this junkers
Dude keep it coming. The long videos are great content. My son and I watch them together just to learn more about cars and wrenching. The off topic stuff is great too.
Gotta pull the drivetrain, 460, 9" rear, if the trans works then you have the beginning of something "new" from something "old"....potential for sure though
You and Jen just do not disappoint. Stretch the engine compartment of your tundra and drop in that Lincoln motor - you would have the Mad Max of Tundras.
Great content , very enjoyable watch !👍
Thanks and glad you enjoy it

Surprised to see people in the comments about restoring it. That thing is engine, trans and rear only. Rest to the junkyard.
I found it quite interesting exploring the old building, you just keep doing what you enjoy. Considering what a pile of rust that Lincoln is I'm surprised it runs so well. keep up the great work and the awesome content 👍✌️🇺🇲
I was shocked that the car started so easy. I didn’t know that Canaries ate oysters. Jen in the yellow hazmat suit. LOL
Chris that pick up was intense! My favorite part was to see you get the Lincoln home sweet home!
Chris, I grew up in those 70's Ford, Mercury's and Lincolns! Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Can't wait to see it drive!
LOL it always makes me laugh at people who see Vent windows and initially get confused..i loved mine on my 79.
