The camera crew deserves a bonus in their allowance this week
This one is worthy of a full restoration IMO. Great job.
@beefsupreme4083 It would be worthwhile to (1) pull the seats out (2) powerwash and vacuum everything (3) put foam and fabric on the frames (you might have to do some wire repairs), put fabric that matches the seats on the door cards, and run over all the paint with some compound and wax. You'd spend probably $350-$500 altogether, and it'd be beautiful. Your biggest expenses would probably be WD40, polishing compound, fabric, thread and glue. (Elbow grease is free, right?)
BTW, it's really great that thanks to the success of your channel, your father was able to retire to join you full time... and you can tell when a man has retired as they no longer sport a wrist watch.
You're correct sir, I just realized reading this that I hardly ever wear a watch anymore after wearing one religiously for 40 years!!👍
Oh you don't know watch guys. They retire they get a BIGGER watch!
I just retired and bought 3 watches ....
Your new camera operator did a great job with some nice new angles. Hopefully she’ll get some more assignments! Great video.
Some the old Mopars were
"Positive " ground and the wheel lugs are left hand threads on one side.
She actually did pretty good, I've definitely seen worse from adults on RUclips!
Yes sir I totally agree
I have a set of nice leather bucket seats and a bench. You can have for that if you want to come and get them in Taylorsville north carolina
@johnasbury4997 why you telling him?
The camera operator has dad figured out, not falling for the old snake scare. I like all the steps you take before staring the motor, a lot of the channels don't. My family thinks I have lost it, because I was cheering you on when it started up. Another good video.
Just watched Scott and the agents over at Cold War Motors get a 1951 Ford Victoria v-8 flathead running , from being seized up to purring. This Plymouth is right up his alley! Excellent video as always. Cheers....
Hands down one of my favorite channels you and your father do so e awesome work
Thank you so much!! We’re so glad you’re enjoying ☺️
An old hot rodders trick is to use an 8 volt battery instead of 6 volt. Works perfectly with all 6v starters and 6v generators and gives you more cranking power. Great to see you saving these old cars and getting them on the road again.
Absolutely corect, BUT, you do need to re-adjust your voltage regulator, or else the generator will not charge it, as generator voltage must be slightly higher than battery voltage, or else battery will try to "motor" the generator.
@@michaelbenardo5695 I've never had a problem with that. With the original set-up and voltage regulator it will charge as high as 10V without damaging any gauges or any other components. Maybe if you were to drive cross country you may have a problem however most classic cars are driven less than 100 miles per month, and it works just fine.
Good luck finding an 8 volt battery.
@@stomper2582 I don't know where you are from but in our area, you can stop by Oriley's on any given day, and they are on the shelf waiting to be bought.
@@stomper2582 Gebo's, Tractor Supply, the parts store or the garden department at a big Wal-Mart... or, if you're desperate, the motorcycle dealer (honda, suzuki, kawasaki...)
I love the way you incorporate your family. The little cutie running the camera did awesome!!!
I like to use 8 volt batteries I get from tractor supply, cranks much nicer and doesn't harm the system. Cool car!! Great videos!!
I love seeing old iron breath new life.
Michael your optimism and positivity is addictive! Love that you daughter is helping with the filming she looks like a natural … thanks for all your content
Always excited to see you guys tackle a project because you always do it justice and do it well. Thank you!
Although it is done in your shop, the way you do it is almost the same as road service. I still learn a lot even being a modern car owner, thanks.
Amazing. Those old cars were built like tanks.
I had a 53 in 1970 and loved it. Like a tank. You took me back thru memory lane. I was working for chevron at the time. Put new atlas plycron tires bias ply and wow what a car. Paid $300 with 49,000 one owner miles. Same color. Thanks for the memory.
Really enjoyed this one! My high school buddy got a "restored" '53 as a graduation gift (repaint and seat covers...) in 1977 and he drive it from Kansas to the east coast twice! Well built cars! Please keep going on this one! Thanks-
Pulling the plugs and checking them out they were "NOT BAD, NOT BAD, NOT BAD" had to poke fun a little bit lol you guys keep it up, your doing "NOT BAD" 😋
Allways a pleasure too watch your work on those old cars ! I realy hope that you will make a video with you trying too start and clean up the old Renaut 4 CW sitting left off the Plymouth :-) Thanks so much for shearing all this good stuff :-) Geetings from Denmark :-)
Great video, guys. My first car was a 1946 Plymouth in 1956. I didn't know the first thing about cars; didn't even own a pair of pliers. My Dad had left when I was 12 years old and I was 19, then. That was a good car and it served me well until I could get something better.
Your little helper was nice
What a nice video to get as I sit here stuck in the hospital after what was supposed to have been a simple outpatient procedure yesterday. Thanks Michael and holler at me when you're able
Hope you get better soon
Hi from Belgium, keep up your genuine and passionate work
Hey 👋 We definitely will ☺️ Hope you enjoy!
Hello from Germany.I enjoy your Videos since your Porsche built.Your the greatest man for me on RUclips.Can't wait for the next.👍
Young lady does a great job on camera! Nice old car. Cheers gents
Michael and his dad breathe life back into yet another sad looking pre loved car, I always imagine the first owner driving it away from the dealership when first new, thank you guys, looking forward to more on this one 👏👍🙂
This video gave me a little smile and a boost to my ego, especially when she popped off and started! I also came along in 1954 so it was nice to see something my vintage still had the ability to run again, with a bit of help from you and your Dad! Awesome!!!!!
We had this vintage Plymouth when I was a kid. Replaced by a 1955 Plymouth station wagon. Then a 1959 Station wagon. Finally a mid 1960's Fury.
Nice to see someone actually clean things up before digging into the project.
i had many plymouths in my life all very dependable cars valiants ect they always start up!!! cool car glad you saved her.
Very cool! Thanks! 😊 Hope you enjoy!
Great sounding and running flathead, so cool to see those old cars run again!
I bought a 54 savoy (brown over cream) in 1969 for $50 from a guy who got drafted. and got a rebuilt short block from Sears (very inexpensive). These engines (dodge and plymouth) were popular with water pumps on farms. Finally junked it in 1973 a year after graduating high school.
Newer subscriber. Really enjoy the channel and your personalities. Nothing better than turning wrenches with your dad, treasure those moments.
"Not bad at all" You are a passionated person and a really optimistic ;)
I am always amazed how much manpower, time etc humans spent to build all kind of different machines, especially American auto industry for market competition; . One time this Buick Plymouth was seating brand new somewhere on dealership yard and forgotten in the forest for 37 years. Now it is Interesting to see her back to life again. Thank you showing you talent good father and son🔨🔧🛠
Congratulations! It reminds me of the Plymouth my grandparents had when my father was a child. Can't wait to hear it with the engine running properly!
Nice!!
Thanks Lucky 👊🏻
Dodge/Plymouth products in the early 50's were positive ground, my '53 dodge 5-window "Job Rated" pickup is positive ground
Wow!! Great job you two 👍🏼 cant wait for the clean up. I bet she's stunning under all that crude 😎🔥💯🍺
I honestly didn't think this one would start, but you guys proved me wrong! Great job!
If you cannot find a rear window at a reasonable cost, consider turning it into an Aussie style Ute. Take a tape measure to the junkyard and find the back of a rusted out pick-up cab that "fits."
Oh my….now you’ve got me thinking!!! 🤔😃😃
QUALITY CONTENT!
It’s fun to see your kids growing up and starting to participate. Mine are a bit older, and it’s so much fun sharing our passion with them.
I lovvvvvvved this episode i smiled from the beginning to the end especially when you ran like a goofball!!! Love love your videos!!!
Great job on getting that ole Plymouth running..
.
Man I love that car. Can't wait to see you get it cleaned up and running better. Good job getting her running!
I was cringing when it came to the battery hook up! Glad you got it figured out!
I agree, your camera operator did a great job. That engine looks so familiar as my parents had a 1951 Plymouth flat head 6 fast back, 2dr. We moved to Fl in '56 and it was used for dad to go salt water wade fishing. Was not long before the floor board rusted right out. I have watched other youtubers doing restorations, but your channel is the best. Glad I subscribed.
Your dad's laugh is infectious! :)
we are watching your videos from the netherlands. you guys are awesome!
Loved watching this Episode, I just picked up a 1956 Dodge Coronet from a field where it has been sitting for ~50 Years.. So was neat seeing you all get that 6 Cylinder going, only difference on mine is that they switched to 12v+ mid 55, so I can actually deal with a 12 volt system.. Pulling the engine out and going through it before trying to get it to run though, pretty rusty in the Valves and didn't want anything to break, but it does rotate also, which is amazing for sitting in a field for 50 years. Thanks for the great content, and would love to see what you all do with this one.
Never heard of a 55 Chrysler product with 12 volts, EXCEPT for some long wheelbase Crown Imperials.
What a great birthday gift: another Plymouth coming back to life!😁 That new camera aide was really in depth and was unflappable when the fake snake joke happened.
I always love it when Budget Buildz pops up on me PC!
I’m sure it was unintentional but man the pitch of that vacuum is in tune with the song playing at that part in the video. Choice
I follow many channels that restore/rebuilld old iron, but yours is one of the few I look forward to get a notification about! Awesome content and the thing I like most about it is that you and your Dad try your best to maintain the originallity of the vehicles you're working on.
Cheers from Argentina!
To Budget Builds just because she smoke dont mean she's broke. Keep the cars going, Anthony from NSW Australia.
I really respect what you guys do keep those old girls running please I wish I could do the same as you guys y'all are awesome keep the love for these babies alive 😎😎😎😎😎😎
That color is called Shasta green, beautiful when new
No one brings em back as far as you guys. Ive binge watched every ep. If anyone knows of another channel that isnt just a roadkill/vgg rehash please lemme know.
That car will clean up very nicely. Looks to be complete and in decent condition
This makes everything better!!! Thanks needed this one today!!!
☺️☺️☺️
@@BudgetBuildz Thanks! Not to be a bother but a super quick update on Porsche would be awesome!!! I remember when you brought it home! Absolutely a legendary Car!!!! God bless you and family!!!
@@johncarella1836 We will definitely have an update and some fun driving videos very soon! 😊 Thanks so much!!
It's amazing that you got it running... that was a fun video!
Great job getting the old girl going! Two words, valve job!
the early 50's cars were good looking indeed.
they are a good looker . and the flat head six strong and reliable she needs love
I love old cars.. this one is in nice shape.
Hey! I have a 54 Plymouth Savoy! My is the two door car. She is so much fun to work on and so simple to fix things. The rear window may be a challenge and a bit pricey but there a some still out there.Well great job on getting her running and hope to see alot more!!😊
That vacuum was doing a near perfect harmony during the 5:19 mark. Nice!
So cool !! didn't think it would start without pulling the head first . Can't wait for pt. 2 !! nice job fellers !!!
Positive ground is why that car didn't rust away!
Sounds like a John Deere 2 cylinder. Got the green paint just need some JD decals. Glad it didn't get scrapped. Keep it up.
A little work and that absolutely gorgeous car will shine again.
Nice! You definitely love a challenge. 🎉❤ Thank you for your hard work and the enthusiasm and entertainment. God bless your channel. 🙏🏻❤️
These Beautiful Old Girls just never Die ! Great Job as ever you guys !
So, 32 years on the road, 37 years laid up and it still wants to go... 🇬🇧👍
Just love your indestructible optimism. To me it looks like a heap of iron that longs to be reunited with mother earth, but I'm pretty sure that before long you'll have pistons moving and smoke emerging from the stack! (and I type this before you've even turned the engine over! 😎).
What beautiful sight to see her move under her own power! 👍
Same same as always...just woke up. Sipping on my cup of tea and watching you guys. You just know how to find them. Rob, Cairns, Australia
Sounds nice 😊 Hope you enjoy bud!!
I love this car, the look is fantastic, a classic! Thanks from England
Hey, this might be out of subject but I've just noticed on back you got a Renault 4cv. Well since I'm French I'd be honored if you need help for ressourcing stuffs on it ;-)
Beside that I've been watching your channel for years now and I enjoy the difference with your channel leading projects from "will it run" to stunning machines than most youtubers putting them back dying in their own backyard. Joss.
I love old flat head engines.
Gonna share a misconception many people who fool with treasures that we do, is oil appearence. When oil is looked at, it appears to clean fresh oil or having an oil change just before being parked. As engines set for a long time the additive package and contaminents will drift down from oil. That what people will call it sludge and resides at the bottom of the pan. I've drained oil from an oldies and use heavy wire with a bend and poke it in the drain opening wiggle it around and most of the time you get sludge. I've known of guys who've gotten um running only to have a knock develope. That's caused by pickup being a bit submerged in said material. I learned this hard way on a 37 Chevy. Only took bout half mile to start getting noisey. Course it wasJust a helpful suggestion, no criticism.
Thank you for bringing that out! 😃 Good point and I completely agree with you! This is one reason we always drain and change the oil before running an engine that has been sitting this long 🙂 In cases with these older ones, they seem to always have a drain plug big enough to stick your finger up in and feel around too!
You did everything 100 percent. Correct in clouding 2 strock fuel. That was fantastic. God bless. Mick Australia)
Good old dad, another great video
Love the camera lady .
That's pretty cool car I do like it can't wait to hear it run again
New camera person was great, no more one handed repairs.
Just the music grabbed me. Nowing father and son ❤
I know will be a fantastic video. 1 min in
God bless. )
Great video. I'm glad you posted keep them coming thanks
Yesss just what i need before going to sleep 😄☺️
Wow! Nice work fellas!
Excellent video Budget Buildz Mike :) plus dad also sound of that 1954 Plymouth Savoy car plus amazing 6 volt positive ground and is all original there too! Also sounds on engine like my late Uncle Bill JR old 1950 Cockshutt COOP 40 43 hp with 60 torque 6 cylinder motor gas farm tractor was 6 volt positive ground to and lots memories of too ! Motor was 4.0 litre 235 Cubic Inches size 6 cylinder 1 barrel carb Zenith type updraft ! Yes is had honey comb core copper rad plus rad cap too and smoke on cold starts too Lol! But how we clean up smoke problems add 1 gallon Desiel fuel on on 3/4 of 91 octane gas and keep motor cool on long day of work of 12 hours!
The kiddo did a marvelous job! What a natural. So awesome.
Great job guys, those old flatheads are tough, this was a premium car in its time. Love your work & enthusiasm!
Same year I was born. The only difference between that car and myself, is; that car looks better then me.
To clean points i usually just steal one of my wife's emery board nail files. You get both sides at the same time. 😊
You guys are 💯awesome 👏🏻👏🏻
I enjoyed this so much that I subscribed.My grandmother used to own this year Plymouth, same color, but much cleaner.
Always fun to watch
Wow I really enjoyed watching this video. Your new camera operator did a nice job. I really wish they still make cars that look like this. They had a lot of character in those days now they all look the same and they're made out of aluminum foil the kind that you can't even rap a sandwich with.😂lol. If Carl Benz would have seen the cars that they make these days he probably would have said they look much too plain. And that's why I'm a fan of really old cars like this one.
You should always use cardbord under the motor on that gravel yard so small screw can't hide your camera person did a Good job 😊
