Dalton with a welder is one of the most dangerous yet entertaining things I’ve personally ever watched… using his “hot glue gun” to literally stick any two pieces of metal together is just a magical as it seems on camera..
LOL agreed, quite uhhhh educational
Could you imagine the magic that would happen if he developed the welding skills and had a proper welder?
.
@@jakec3185 it will happen… we’ll all bug the crap out of Lincoln or Miller welders and get him a proper one AND they’ll come set it up and show him how to use it..
Watch out Dave Kindig
His welds would be so much better if he'd clean the metal first.
@@jakec3185he doesn’t need a better welder. More expensive welders don’t leave what you weld more welded. They just will do it all day for years. Most of the cheapies are made by miller or Lincoln with lower quality wear parts for less frequent use. He maybe has a Chinese one idk. Seems fine.
"Mounts fuel tank with metal scraps and lugnuts, but uses level"...... love it.
I was thinking ur gonna stick a eBay 400$ 350 in it
Its what you call modern redneck hack builder spec, its PERFECT!
Hay, he’s a genius!😂
I stuck a $75 junkyard 350 in a 84 Buick Regal
I just gotta say, it's been so cool watching JD grow up on the channel. He's become pretty knowledgeable and knows what he's doing. You're raising a fine young man..W
Good job w your family!!!
Spent 6 years build a 70 Torino for my wife. 8 months later your typical cell phone driver ran a red light and totalled it. 3 point harnesses saved the day. Mandatory for my builds.
"Did I do the thing? I did! I'm a mechanic!" is how I feel after replacing a bulb or fuse.
I’m definitely loving the new car for sure!!! I’m also very happy to see that you are finding old cars that have been off the roads for anywhere from 10 years or more and just doing a little work on them to get them back on the road!!! Heck and even taking them on a long road trip to show others that just because they have been off the road for a long time doesn’t mean that with a little hard work and just a little extra money that it definitely can be done!!! The one thing that you’re awesome station wagon is missing is a rear end with a posi unit in it for sure!!! If you go changing the rear gears well you might as well go with a posi unit witch I definitely think it deserves it for sure!!! I absolutely hate when someone goes to do a burn out and just one tire spins!!! It’s definitely more empressive to see an old car have both tires leave there mark on the pavement and leave a nice rubber lines going down the road!!!
this is how i felt after changing my wipers :D
JD styling out that Pimp hat, definitely a future captain of industry there.
JD is a bad ass.
When I grow up, I want to be just like him.
Loved the Mack Daddy hat!
That hat is perfect! Dalton needs to save that big Mercury for JD's future position as guardian of all pimp activity. Someone will have to steal another Mercury to scavenge a powertrain, interior, etc...
Do you know how motivated of a person you have to be to do what Dalton does every week? The guy does not just do a will it run. He drops motors and does whole cars in a few episodes. Love the channel. Keep up the entertaining work!
That’s definitely one of the cooler looking wagons I’ve seen. The dog is pretty cool too. Keep on truckin guys, you’re alright 👌
I tried to roadtrip 1200 miles in my dodge pickup that I drug out of a contractors field and rebuilt the Trans on. As I'm watching this video I'm sitting in the middle of nowhere in Idaho because the transmission decided to blow up again. So while rescue is on its way I sit here watching you 😂
Oh shit 😂😂
@@PoleBarnGarage I must say, you and Kevin make it look MUCH easier than it is 🤣 at least I have entertainment while I wait😂
@@No_Budget.Builds I know a thing or two about sitting on the side of the highway.. hang in there..
Damn brother I hope you made it to a shop. I spent a lot of time on the roadside when I was a kid because gas was 5 bucks a gallon and I always thought maybe I can make it just a lil further. It got to a point where I wouldn't even get upset. I'd just reach behind me for whatever would hold liquid and started walking lol. Come back with 4 water bottles full of gas😂😂😂
I've also seen a thing or 2 on sitting. I built an 89 f250 from a 250 chassis and f150 power train. Made one truck fron 2. On its maiden voyage I went for a load of firewood 8 miles from home. On load 2, I threw the serpentine belt on it. With no parts riding behind the seat yet I walked a mile to get cell reception and waited for rescue. Then 2 weeks later my trusty 90 bronco 2 blew a coolant hose and spewed out all fluids. Had to wait on rescue there too. The luckiest I got was 3 months ago the clutch went out on my ranger right when I pulled into the driveway after work at 2am. Then the next night the brand new gates waterpump on the 300 gave up the ghost after 6 months. I really should have videoed that week. I just can't make it up.
Dalton I just wanna say,
1. I love this new level of effort that's going into these builds! Its nice seeing give the cars more attention than usual when it comes to stuff like interior, and comfort etc, and seeing how you approach it.
2. I Love how easily jess has become part of the channel! Her segments and creative solutions for stuff like the interior roof panels was fun to watch!
Keep up the good work man!
JD and Jess are the MVPs of the channel! So willing to do crappy jobs at crappy times of day!
PBG needs a self tapper sponsorship
New shirt idea "I'm a mechanic" while you're under a dash giving a thumbs up 😄
I'd buy that
Absolutely!
I was going to spend this on breakfast but this is a way better deal. Thank you!
Nice one!
Dalton and his family have somehow self tappered their way into my cold, black heart.
Damn you for being so amazing.
Please buy their merch & do what you can to support them, while I curse the fates for letting them get up in my feels.
One of the best channels on CZcams. Hands down.
Thank you!
My father had a '78 Town Car with a 460. We attended an air show in '81. Traffic crawled out of the event. The temperature that day was 90+. It was maybe 20 minutes into the drive when my dad's idiot light came on letting him know the engine was overheating. It took him all of 10 to seconds pull the hood release lever, throw the temperature selector to full hot, and roll down all the windows. After another 20 sweltering minutes, traffic was moving fast enough to resume normal cruising conditions. Yes, he shut the hood.
Yes those cars really needed a cold air intake for the air cleaner and also a big electric radiator fan! No one used electric fans back then! Also the old AC compressors used to take a lot of HP to turn!😂
My dad had a 76 Grand Marquis with the same engine. Land boat. Step on the go and it would pass everything on the highway except a gas station.
This car is so good… it’s no wonder I wanted to spend all my time working on this vs literally anything else…
Thanks for the shoutout!
Buff, you are so buff!
@@user-mm7xr8if1u lol…. Beer belly and all
@@user-mm7xr8if1u But I'm always do "Buff Stuff"
More Xtreme Oil Change Content please!
CAN DO BROTHER
Started watching when you had less than 10K subscribers, loved watching this channel grow and watch you become better with every video, congratulations on hitting 200K probably in the next hour.
Watching your videos made a lot of shitty days less shitty, thanks for that.
Greetings from Iceland.
Loving this wagon build. A guy on my local marketplace (Tampa)is selling a 1960 Edsel wagon that's pretty much a twin to yours right down to the aluminum slots. He's asking 6500.00 for it. Congrats on getting off the "Corporate pole". I've been working for myself for a few years now. I don't make much but not having to make a morning commute or listen to an idiot boss is priceless. I guess I'm definitely gonna have to order a Boogie van shirt now to help you in your "retirement".
I love how I was asking, why not put the fan at the front and immediately it’s like you read my mind and explained the reasoning. Thanks for the knowledge.
Same
Because the source of the heat is behind it. Blowing air wouldn't work and neither would sucking Because the rad is in the way. It's cool man I didn't even know how to do brakes when I first started. I just dug in and prayed it was right lol
You can use a fan on the front. A descent manufacture will rate it in CFM for inlet or outlet or something like that. A fan like the first one he had with a larger shroud is almost always a puller. The second one he ended up using is a universal that would work just fine on the inlet side. Inlet fans are very common on cars where space is a issue.
@@BobWiersema doesn't the direction change if you wire it backwards?
Congrats on 199k, can't wait to see it roll over
I just want to say that I am envious. I live your life as many weekends as I can. I love wrenching on crap. My biggest envy is Jess not only tolerating what you do but actually joining in and adding value. Congrats on finding an amazing woman.
about to hit 200,000. great- i have been a suber since you only had a thousand or two.i remember telling you to hang in there. you would make it,and you thanked me.
This is gold. Who needs cable?
I ended up signing up for Priority's membership when you asked me too. Last week I bought a set of tires from them but on eBay. I figured why not and emailed them anyway and they refunded me the discount!!! AWESOME COMPANY!!!
That's great!
I'm loving this old 60 wagon! Love when JD and Jess are part of the crew!
The car is really looking good. I really love the way the back wheels are tucked up in there
Idk how I got here cause I’m XTRA broke! But whoever gifted me with a membership is simply the best ❤
Same, haha!
I like 'The Basket Case Wagon' I think It sums up the personality of everyone here.
You are my favorite channel. I see 200k people think like me. Congratulations.
This is so cool!!! Never would have thought an old Ford wagon could be so cool.
You definitely deserve more recognition for this!
I got something in my eye and managed to get whatever it was out. Blinked like a derp a few times, opened my eyes wide and looked back at the screen right on time when you started welding. Now I'm partially blind. At least the rest of the video sounds great.
Congratulations to you and your Team for getting the old wagon up and running!
A little bit of velcro tape in the middle will hold Jess's headliner panels in place
I growed up in Wichita and the crickets, frogs and cicadas in your videos are so relaxing and you’re funny as hell.
This is not only great car content but also comedy gold !. 42:18 when JB says “why are you eating it” 😂😂
"enough self tappers and two-face tape to kill an entire school of walruses" is a line for the ages Mr. D!
Some mufflers in the future? I SAID, SOME MUFFLERS IN THE FUTURE? 😁 Might be nice to not be deaf before you get to TX.
Really nice to see JD enjoying his own efforts and continuing to be himself. Jess may be embracing the duct tape darkness, but carpet for a penny deserves major props!
My Pop Pop used to say Spackle and paint makes a carpenter what he aint. Car looks great!
Do your best then filler and putty the rest. Amateur carpenter saying.
That blue interior looks so good! 🤘🏻
Spray shellac in aerosol would help with the odor of the headliner panels. You’ll never get it out of a porous surface. You have to seal it in. Love the wagon. Keep on keeping on. Peace.
Dalton, JD and Jess yalls videos are the best!
I think J.D. has grown a foot since the last video, good job bro 🤝
I have loved this build especially the 460 install instead of a 302 as other shops might have done entertaining and funny as hell to boot ,I will watch anything you produce and JD is growing up fast from when I first started watching ,The steering wheel fix was awesome ,Looking forward to the big drive
Hell to the yeah, another routine Friday evening... lay-Z-boy, feet up, and a cold snack.... I choose to say life is good today... y'all have a good one 🍻
Dalton, this wagon is sooo sweet! Plus, you fixed it up and looks good on a shoe-string budget. Way to go cool one! This is how old school hot-rodding is all about, making cars cool on a budget that's also quick on the road. Great job 👍. Anyway, thanks for the video 📸.
Those fuel cells work a lot better when you have the outlets facing the rear of the car
Nothing like hard launch starvation eh ?
I was wondering if anybody else noticed 😂😂😂
@@justinpeterson6839 "I can't figure out why it falls on its ass when I floor it... It has gas I put at least 2 gallons in it 8 miles ago .." 🤔
I can tell you two people who didn't notice, Can any one one guess who ???Gord Ontario Canada
That wagon is coming together beautifully!!!!
"Maybe even an aquarium the way thing leaks."
Always cheering me up while im cheering you on!
Cheers!
Dude, you 3 absolutely rock! I have a motortrend subscription that I never watch anymore (takes FOREVER for new episodes) and I watch all the other CZcamsrs but you all are the best, seriously! Can't put my finger on it but I think ya'll are my favs because you're fricking HARD WORKING, clever, down to earth and get stuff DONE! And you don't have a paid entourage or brains like Lucky Costa doing the work last night before the camera starts rolling.....or million dollar facilities that regular grunts like me can't afford....Don't change careers anytime soon!
@PoleBarnGarage Do a Chip fooze front bumper of the two bent ones! tuck it, fill up plate section, extend it down wards and make it fit the car. It will look great! If you don't have time to chrome it paint it so it don´t rust, and tape it with hvac aluminium tape, i looks like chrome. 10 feet away
Listening to rain... My parents live a few hours north east of you. Talking to them this morning, told they had flooded roads and their property in Brookfield flooded.
Probably my favorite car so far! You gotta vent that fuel tank. The return line isn't enough, you still need to compensate for the fuel that makes it to the carb. I had that same problem on a bike and I had to remove the tank cap gasket. Solved the issue of dying after a good run and getting back to life after a while.
Good to see another station wagon saved! My family had many wagons through the years from our 58 Chevy to Dad's last one a 77 Ford. Fun channel to watch!
After seeing your suspended fuel cell, I really hope you don't end up with another wagon that drops it fuel tank.
🤣🤣
As long as it keep on running like that one did 😅
Nice work! Good to see the beastie running and I love the interior work, Jess kicks serious butt on that ❤A little bit of fine tuning and she'll be ready for a great road trip!
Personally I like the longer format videos. Pretty cool car.
Saturday afternoon, just finished with some work, remembered I had a PBG video to watch. Made my day
Can't wait to see what's next. The car looks amazing, let me tell you. Jess's headliner looks great and the look of the car is just awesome!
Hello from Tennessee I have to say that you have did a great job on the wagon it's coming along nicely I love all those old wagons your going to have a good ride I received my holy goat shirt in the mail last week and I love it thanks for the great videos God bless everyone
station wagon is coming along great. awesome channel been watching it for while jd is a great kid you done a great job showing him how to work on classic cars. reminds me of my son he loves working on cars been teaching him since he was 5. he's 42 now he works for ford master mechanic.
happy 199.000 ! 0:30 - god i love this wagon project. Can't wait how it turns out
That VR1 is great oil for a flat tappet motor. Happy to see you promoting its use. You’re one of the few that understands the different types of zinc and why diesel oil is a bad idea for a gas motor.
Most CK4 Diesel oils now have what they call “dual technology ZDDP so the big fleets with diesel and gas equipment can stock one oil. A leader in this is Valvoline. Rotella is also following suit as well as others. The issue with most heavy duty oils is not that they have the “wrong ZDDP “ but they just don’t have enough ZDDP anymore. CK4 oils are topping out at approximately 1000-1100ppm of ZDDP. That’s borderline low for flat tappet gas engines with stock valve springs and much too low for heavier higher pressure springs and radical cams. Most blenders agree that around 1600ppm of ZDDP is the sweet spot for most flat tappet engines. That’s about where VR1 and Royal Purple’s HPS version are testing in used oil analysis. Obviously too much ZDDP can cause issues of their own. Valvoline has been supplying NASCAR’s Cup teams with oil for years and they know what they’re doing. Also when they say that their HD fleet oils have the correct ZDDP to protect a stock gas engine with roller cams I believe them. My 12.7 Detroit Diesel and my gas powered Silverado have both been running the same fleet oil for years and they both have mega miles on them with no issues.
@@prevost8686 Nice. Had no idea that dual service rated oils existed now. Too much ZDDP is definitely bad as well. I cringe when I see videos of people pouring tons of off the shelf ZDDP additive in an old engine.
@@matth5309 I’ve used Risolone ZDDP (blue/gray bottle) and they have great information on how much to add to achieve the ideal ppm. Unfortunately a lot of people feel that if 1/2 bottle per 5qts of oil is good then a whole bottle must be better. Risolone ZDDP is a great product for someone that doesn’t want to try to order high ZDDP engine oil like VR1 etc but it needs to be mixed at the correct ratio to achieve around 1600ppm . I can buy it for roughly $8 bucks a bottle and one bottle easily handles two oil changes so I’m essentially adding $4 to the cost of the low ZDDP oils available everywhere. That works out better for me. I’ve also done the used oil analysis the ZDDP levels are where Risolone claims that they will be. Risolone certainly isn’t the only ZDDP additive out there but it’s a good product and foolproof if you follow their mixture ratios.
Thank you for proving we r not alone!!!! You Crack me up as well as showing us there's more than one way to be "resourceful". You deserve the beach trip
Loving JDs solo content. He’s come a long away over the years.
Just wanted to let you know how nice your videos are and very funny. Don’t change a thing!!!
Yep I watched the marquis video today, dipstick was already broken.
It's like we knew that but conveniently forgot, on purpose.... that's the next guy's problem and he's the next guy...again.
Unfortunately when Dalton and Kevin say that is the next guy's problem they usually end up being the next guy and have to fix it correctly anyway...lol
@@richardbates2367 exactly
You build a car just to go on a road trip so that your wife can see the ocean for the first time 😮 that's a beautiful proof of love 💘 I will watch the next episodes... thanks!!
Keepem coming,Brother!!!!
Membership DOES have its benefits. Nicely done, Dalton! Love the Summit bandaid....
What does memberships have to do with watching this free video 😂😂.
@jerrywilcox9890 We had access to it prior to posting on the general youtubes site. Plus, members have access to live streams not available to the general public.
@GuntherVonB not me I don't pay for that crap.
@GuntherVonB and I hate live streams and I don't need to watch anything early lol.
@@jerrywilcox9890weird flex, but, okay 🤷♂️
Let me guess, you don’t support channels by purchasing merch?
Dude. This has been absolutely one of the best videos you've done I love station wagons. I have a 55 Nomad. Myself Great job. Keep us updated on this project
I really like the looks of your wagon !! Can remember hardly giving them a glance 58+ years ago. But.. 62 yrs later, it's so uniquely cool !!!
( fuel tank going to need a vent )
When this wagon is done, it will be better than a Jaaaaaag. Jess and JD help make this channel great - what a great episode.
11 minutes after this came out, I jumped on it. Gosh, I wish I had seen it sooner, but I'm here now, so let go, baby, go!
Can NEVER get enough of Dalton & PBG, I drop everything I'm doing to watch any time I get a notification :P
Always wanted to start a Chanel with my brother after building an epic jeep years back but I always knewI would be very difficult. I knew we would never have the time and your channel pretty much proves we didn’t have what it takes to
Darn if I am not falling for this old Wagon. I think this one is a keeper, and I think you will have a lot of fun with it. Really enjoying the channel these days Dalton. Thank you.
Watching this on my way to work, thank god for traffic
Watching this AT work. Thank god for breaktime. 😂
@@SpaceInTime1885 finished the video at work haha
@@SpaceInTime1885 watching this at work... Thank god for.... a boss that doesn't pay attention enough to know.
Loved the welding part again, lol. If the tube doesn't fit, just put a washer on it, it'll be fine!!
Praying all goes well with the trip! Yer a good man building a hotrod just so the Mrs can see the ocean for the first time. Chivalry ain't dead
Best advice you have ever given!! 12:48 I couldn't agree more I'd rather not be left stranded or completely broken beyond repair and left with regret!!
God I love you Dalton. I think I only go on CZcams when you and Kevin post. Only good, realistic, down to earth stuff on this app.
I feel so privileged to have this video early for my breakfast 😄
You eat videos for breakfast??😅
Loving this build and it needs some loud and rowdy pipes for sure!!!
Best wagon build on CZcams for April/May
I've used the rope trick to get carb boots on a tricky motorcycle job. Amazed the guy that tried for hours and couldn't get it.
1. Jess seems nice I hope you appreciate her. 2. The wagon is AWESOME.
By far the highest quality workmanship on this car was JDs work on the grille!
Loved the Xtreme oil change. That's how REAL car guys change the oil
What a bitchin' wagon! Pro tip: those 70’s 460’s came with SEVERELY retarded cam timing. Replacing the timing set with an aftermarket one and advancing the cam 4-6 degeees or so will transform it into a tire fogging beast that will get decent milage.
That ain’t happening before Texas but good info for the next guy
@@jdfmfb03 I figured as much. Back in the day I "fixed" many of those engines in pickups, and a random car or two, usually because the factory timing set gave up the ghost. The difference it makes is shocking..
Hellya, starting off the morning with PBG!
Love the blue interior. Thanks for sharing
So entertaining! JD is the real project here and he seems to be coming along great which is cool cause you clearly need adult supervision! Also I think I've painted that color before if it is "Champagne Metallic" It is very correct for the early 60s and looks great when new. Go for it!
Just want I need to watch with my lunch 🇬🇧
Great episode! The wagon is looking great!
The transformation of the interior is awesome. If this is a sign of things to come now it’s full time YT this is going to be an amazing ride
I love station wagons, this has been a lot of fun to watch so far! Looking forward to the next video :) Enjoy the trip!
Yes. "Thank God for you" We say that all the time around here. 😅😅 Great video.
