Oldest rusty car joke ever...😅Tetanus mostly comes from cuts where organic matter gets in it. Rust was associated when people cut themselves on old nails or metals found in said soils, manure piles and such. Not prevalent in North America.
"Turn off the part of my brain that cares" - I've found this small but powerful concept will get you through so many of life's challenges. Thanks, Dalton!
“Do you feel this vehicle is safe for highway travel?” … “Yes I do yes I really do. I believe that and, I know it's not pretty to look at but it'll get you where you want to go … and, amazingly, the radio still works! Don’t ask me how … but it does!”
I have to say, thank you for being the only guy willing to smoke on camera. As a licensed asbestos abatement worker, I need that healthy layer of tar to keep the meso away.
Sound theory. I'm actually working on a chrysler product tomorrow, so I'm doubling up today to protect myself from the vast quantities of iron oxide I'll be inhaling.
@@Me-zo8ycno one is telling you that you can't, but they're recommending you don't due to the overwhelming evidence of the wide array of negative health ramifications. If you chose to take that as an attack or an attempt to control you, that's your choice, but it's not reality. You're not being coerced or persecuted; just educated and encouraged.
FINALLY!!!! Someone that does revivals that isnt fake as hell and talks on camera the same way he talk in everyday life, and isnt afraid to smoke or talk about beer . Great content man keep it coming.
Dalton, you make some of the best videos on RUclips. I am 17, and this next month I’m gonna be buying my first project car, a 1970 Cutlass Supreme. Your (and Kevin’s) videos have taught me almost everything I know about working on cars, and 2 years ago, I could never have fathomed taking on a project car. I still know essentially nothing, but what I have learned from your videos has given me the confidence that (theoretically) it’s not as complicated as it seems. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Great to hear there are real ICE old car enthusiasts coming online to hearld on with the care and preservation of a time nary to be forgot thanks to lads & laddies like you...🎉❤😊👍😉🎉
WOW !! From now on when someone tells me they drove a “sketchy” car , I’m thinking “yea , but was it really that sketchy ? !! “. This was nuts. Thanks Dalton and Kevin. I love this type of stuff.
Seeing this car shaped from a rusty heap into a running GTO with nothing but a hammer and sheer grit is why this type of video will never get old for me. Never change, Dalton.
I found Kevin first, a long time ago. It was only recently I saw Dalton make an appearance in one of his videos, so I checked out his channel and subscribed. Best choice I've made thus far.
Same here found Kevin first. Saw Dalton through his vids. Love the duo. Really wish they would partner up full time honestly. Or have a channel for duo content.
A trick an old timer taught me long ago is that if your shocks have a single bolt on top is to grab a deep well socket and an extension, make sure you have solid contact between socket and nut, and pry it back and forth til it snaps off. It’s not like you’re ever gonna reuse old shocks so breaking them is no big deal
LMAO when Dalton lights up a smoke on camera........And there's the full fuel tank sitting on the back seat, pure PBG, glad you made it Dalton, enjoyed every minute of it.
But that wasn't really that good of a restoration. A truck structural is the frame, a unibody car structural is the parts like the floor. Doing those cheaply and poorly is no different than them being bad
@@JunkyardDigs oh yea I remember that. The off road bronco build. You used pliers for the bacon. Btw. You always say about wanting to do a revival with exclusively a pair of pliers. But you already did. That flat bed dually f250 that was rolled it was one of your first revivals. You literally put a battery in it.
Had to sign up to the Low Buck club, watching your videos has given me the kick up the arse to get my dad's 58 Rambler finished after sitting for 7 years when we found a ton of rust. Love the fact you're so down to earth and no bullshit.
My first car was a 81 Corolla almost this bad. It was free and i was 16 so i loved it. Booty fabbed all sorts of floor boards and suspension repairs. Was reliable, made it a year and a half before the rear coil springs fell though the trunk. The bigger the pieces of crap the better the stories
Had a tooth pulled this morning. Perfect day to skip work and watch PBG For the car I say do a frame swap and get the body stabilized. Cheap rebuild and have a sister car to the holy goat. Not that you need one but it is a GTO.
Do y'all think Kevin's dad took him aside and had a talk about his choices of friends and warned him not to fall in with the "wrong crowd" after Dalton confirmed his plans to drive this car home? 😂
I think you Kevin vgg and ol peg saved my life. I grew up watching dad build trucks and tractors so I took that on. I got a girlfriend that took all my time for 3 years. I did bare minimum mechanical wise. She left me in saying being a farmer isn’t a good enough job. I was broken 8 months ago. I started to watch y’all and my dad play around with stuff so I jumped back in. Long story short I rebuilt my childhood truck. Did a mechanical restoration on my 1962 Chevy I learned to drive in. Also did a complete mechanical restoration on my dads 1950 Chevy 3100 then I rebuilt the engine in a farmall tractor then bought a truck cheep got it running again did a bunch of work. Then sold it to a friend who’s using it as a daily. I needed something to look forward too at the end of the day and also something to wake up for. Mechanical work and running the family farm is that for me I learned. Also you and jd’s relationship is copy n paste of my dad and I’s relationship. Don’t let him make the mistake I did. I’m still not 100 percent over her yet but I’m a work n progress like my vehicles. Blessings to y’all! Keep you head under a hood my friend.
Dalton, your dry humour is impeccable. Please keep it. "The next guy who touches this will be screwed. And that next guy is probably me. Thankfully I hate that guy" and "I just turn off the part of my brain that cares" are my favourites so far.
Thanks for another great video, an hour and a half at that! What's really amazing is that my ADD ass sat and watched the whole thing thru without a single sidetrack. That speaks volumes for your entertainment quality brother! The only other person that can do that is cleetus! Be proud, very proud of yourself.
That slow drive into the shop at 4 mins in gave me Christine vibes when Arnie first drove the Plymouth into Darnell’s garage. 😂 Also Kevin’s wind up spin with the wheel landing upright and virtually putting itself away was **chef’s kiss** 🤣
It coming down of the lift with the license plate body work said it all for me. Its not restorable but its not dead either. Get it on a safe frame, get the steering and alignment fixed, work the motor over and add more license plates.
I don’t know why I enjoy watching you put so much effort and money into such a trashed out “classic” but I do. Not many people would ever bother, but I enjoy seeing it run and drive again.
Very nice video. You are very, very lucky to have Jesse. She is with you from start to finish in everything you embark on. She looks to be a fantastic companion and I love the little touches she puts on various things. Also, I laughed my ass off when you got out of the GTO at the gas station with that beer in your hand. That is something you don't see often these days. That was my favorite part.
Anyone who thinks Dalton wouldn’t try to drive this death trap home hasn’t been paying attention to the channel. This is the guy who drives a bullet riddled GTO all over hell and creation!
The Burt Reynolds style driving scene was a gas! ...and the fuel filler door 😅 only here on a collaborative vlog with PBG & JYD does this stuff just so naturally get spun from the tongue of Kevin and Dal'un 😂
I have to say, I am mighty impressed. I honestly did not believe that it would get you the full 250+ miles home under its own power. That is quiet possibly the most rusted out GTO I have ever laid eyes on.
It's so refreshing to see people giving rusty old cars this treatment instead of immediately doing a frame off restoration that never gets finished. It's so fun to do this and just get it on the road. Starts a conversation everywhere you go and it doesn't cost much at all if a guy knows what he's doing. Loved the video, you earned a sub from me !
Dude thank you for mentioning the vr1 oil. So many people pour in whatever oil they are familiar with, without even considering its meant for new cars specifically. I ruined a hot rod 454 with the wrong oil. (.30 over flat tops, cam, intake, 750 demon carb, headers, ls7 style rec port heads...) It ran excellent for about 10,000 miles And i had been using vr1 20/50. It only took 500ish miles on Castrol to ruin it.
I've owned 3 1968 GTO,s ( one was a convertible) and one 1969 ram air 4 speed GTO. I'm glad you spent the time to make it somewhat roadworthy and complete your trip. The snowflake rims look pretty good also.
I'm starting to realize, every time you bring back to life one of these it's-basically-a-wreck cars, it's the moment that lights turn on and electronics work that really thrill me. A functioning tac. That GTO running light in back. The little things that prove the car always wanted to live, the right person had to come along. Keep 'em runnin'!
this episode was well worth the peanuts we paid to see it, I'm going through some real stuff and this was a great break, you yanks have the coolest cars,. No doubt, and how can this wreck still look so cool,
Dalton lighting a cigarette while fuel sloshes around in the boat tank in the back seat, with the fuel line underneath the driver's seat only protected by that steel mesh, was probably the biggest fate tempt he could have pulled. Bravo sir. at 1:17:47
Seeing the true happiness in your face on the road test was awesome. Just wish Kevin’s superpower wasn’t stabbing his thumb into the mic. I hope you got some rest after that trip. You must have felt like a bag of shit after that week and drive. You always prove the lost and forgotten always have a place on the road. Bless you my son…..
Amazing, it made it. Call it a break in ride. Lil tinkering , lil more patching , a bigger fuel cell, hood ipins ( for easier opening) its ready for power tour! Id keep it patena style , lil suspension work . Everyone inc kevin was skeptical, proved em all wrong. Did real good, not a drop fell ( burned , but not dropped). A good solid driver to add to the fleet. Tinker on it and take it on power tour
Kevin's car had a nice spoiler on the trunk. I suggest, with a little more all-thread protrusion through the trunk lid, a couple more nuts and washers, and 4 feet of fence, you could've matched him up pretty well. Oh, and yours would've been "wood grain".
I'm torn. On one hand, I love it. It's ratty, it's dirty, it's horrible and it's awesome. On the other hand... It's a freaking 1969 GTO. After seeing the silver dollar go back together, I have a good feeling that this could be 'restored', just like that truck. If it was a base Lemans where hundreds of thousands were made, no one would care. But its a piece of American history right there, a piece of the late Pontiac's legacy, something that's been written of in song.
Had a 70 coronet, not quite that bad, front fenders would flap out and catch air, pick the front end up and switch lanes unintentionally at about 100 miles N hour.
That “coin purse” Dalton found was actually a leather cigarette case . My mother used to rock one of those back in the day . Had room for a “ soft pack “ and a lighter . Back when smoking Kool menthols was still “Kool” .
At 1:19:36 you say that we can't see it, but you actually accidentally captured the eclipse for a split second in the form of a lens flair! Super neato!!! Also good shit not dying, now the holy goat has a new brother!! xD
WOW you are a Pontiac genius. This is a awesome channel to learn about classic Pontiac cars 👍 On the 8th day the GTO gods said do a burn out. I enjoy every episode 👍
Meanwhile, over on the other side of The Pond, I got an 'advisory' on my MOT* that the radiator support bracket had surface rust on it and should be replaced . . . . *MOT is a yearly inspection for UK cars over 3 years old - you can't legally drive without one.
The more heavily populated states tend to have vehicle inspection and emissions tests. The more lightly populated ones, like Iowa and Missouri, do not. Also, cars there rust like crazy due to the winter salt on the roads so seeing cars destroyed by rust is common.
And I'm a Brit ex-pat living in Berlin, Germany. Just got my 20 year old Astra through the TÜV (German bi-annual MOT) , couple of advisories but no big issues. I'll keep her as long as I can. I don't know how the hell Dalton gets away with these escapades but he does.
@@laurencehastings7473To explain to our American cousins, an over zealous MOT tester will actually attack the sills - rocker panels to you guys - with a specially made small pointed hammer to check for rust. ... ..
V@@AltTechFanMissouri has safety inspections and emissions tests. The hordes of illiterate, illegal aliens drive all kinds of vehicles in the US without a valid US drivers license, no insurance, no valid state license plates or a proper title for a vehicle.
Great video! Loved seeing the creative “rust repair “ and the collaboration with JYD as well as the other characters that dropped in to help and get the job done so that you could get it done and get home with it. Thanks and have a great weekend!
You guys are the real deal when it comes to salvaging rusting junk and driving it not ten miles or 50 miles but hundreds of sketchy miles to Home ,Tetanus shot Garage ,what a great Line .Al is a funny guy. Thanks to the Guys at Junkyard Digs garage for helping Dalton getting his rusty Hulk of a Goat safe enough to Make the trip ,words of wisdom from Dalton ,Breaks and tires ,The more you know
I still can't believe Dalton survived this one 😂
I can't either. Some might say that it is unfortunate
Aww you spoiled it for me! 😂
Looks like the beer can made it.
Your not the only one surprised but it is a pony track lol
It's the GT Oh God 😂
"This week on Tetanus Shot Garage"
Oldest rusty car joke ever...😅Tetanus mostly comes from cuts where organic matter gets in it. Rust was associated when people cut themselves on old nails or metals found in said soils, manure piles and such. Not prevalent in North America.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@DannebergAcresthe joke is on you because most of that rust was in “organic” matter.
I wonder how often they get tetanus shots just incase

Words to live by, brother! LMAO
32:31 "are you planning on driving this home??"
"yeah.."
the disappointment dad energy kevins dad radiated here, I could feel it through the screen
The immediate face of disappointment made me scared for Dalton then i laughed as Dalton always makes it home
Ohh hell yeah... You can put 100,000 miles more on that sweet ride easy!
The first test drive, Dalton's complete lack of concern and Kevin's inner fight to avoid panicking....
We've seen Kevin drive some sketchy shit over the years, so you know it was sketchy if he was squirming 😂
Featuring The Inevitable Jim! Another great reoccurring character of the PBG JYD universe!
Man I just can't believe how bad that GTO has rusted away and the Guy bought it brand new.
“Do you feel this vehicle is safe for highway travel?” … “Yes I do yes I really do. I believe that and, I know it's not pretty to look at but it'll get you where you want to go … and, amazingly, the radio still works! Don’t ask me how … but it does!”

Totally agree
A trick an old timer taught me long ago is that if your shocks have a single bolt on top is to grab a deep well socket and an extension, make sure you have solid contact between socket and nut, and pry it back and forth til it snaps off. It’s not like you’re ever gonna reuse old shocks so breaking them is no big deal
That's what I did, but the one actually unbolted
I just learned that a few months ago and I put shocks on my 65 Impala and it worked great.

Kevin and dalton are the best combo
Your True Fans will Never question your choice of rusty vintage destined for a scrap pile heap to present on the infamous PBG channel.❤
I love how Dalton has the "this is not bad at all" look while Kevin is fearing for his life.
All I can think about is all the prime muscle cars that were way better that got parted out or crushed
Love all the hard work
Anyone who's watched the Silver Dollar Chevy truck that was rotted and "restoreable." Knows that Dalton has the hands to fix this GTO.
But that wasn't really that good of a restoration. A truck structural is the frame, a unibody car structural is the parts like the floor. Doing those cheaply and poorly is no different than them being bad
thats a poor-optioned GTO ,but its a GTOOO goddngit, no joke
This one is worse that’s for sure,with the whole back end issue that would take some ingenuity to fix
I just looked online. With all the parts available. All you need is a Vin and you can basically Ship of Theseus the entire thing
Will this be parts for the burnt one?
19:50 Leave it to Kevin to officially make pliers a tool for body work 😂

It ran excellent for about 10,000 miles And i had been using vr1 20/50.
It only took 500ish miles on Castrol to ruin it.

Kevin's car had a nice spoiler on the trunk. I suggest, with a little more all-thread protrusion through the trunk lid, a couple more nuts and washers, and 4 feet of fence, you could've matched him up pretty well. Oh, and yours would've been "wood grain".
I'm torn. On one hand, I love it. It's ratty, it's dirty, it's horrible and it's awesome.
On the other hand... It's a freaking 1969 GTO. After seeing the silver dollar go back together, I have a good feeling that this could be 'restored', just like that truck.
If it was a base Lemans where hundreds of thousands were made, no one would care. But its a piece of American history right there, a piece of the late Pontiac's legacy, something that's been written of in song.
i think a disgustang style "resto" would be best. Fix the rust but leave it.
Love to hear the enthusiasm in Kevin's dad's voice...lol
Had a 70 coronet, not quite that bad, front fenders would flap out and catch air, pick the front end up and switch lanes unintentionally at about 100 miles N hour.
Amazing! I think it has earned some love for making it that far, I hope to see more of the rustbucket in the future!
I think you will
Good episode, appreciate Dalton's rescues, and so much fun with junkyard digs service equipment perks👍
That “coin purse” Dalton found was actually a leather cigarette case . My mother used to rock one of those back in the day . Had room for a “ soft pack “ and a lighter . Back when smoking Kool menthols was still “Kool” .
At 1:19:36 you say that we can't see it, but you actually accidentally captured the eclipse for a split second in the form of a lens flair! Super neato!!! Also good shit not dying, now the holy goat has a new brother!! xD
WOW you are a Pontiac genius. This is a awesome channel to learn about classic Pontiac cars 👍
On the 8th day the GTO gods said do a burn out.
I enjoy every episode 👍
1:24:40 the toilet roll filter might have soaked up some of that oil as a filled up the bypass.
Meanwhile, over on the other side of The Pond, I got an 'advisory' on my MOT* that the radiator support bracket had surface rust on it and should be replaced . . . .
*MOT is a yearly inspection for UK cars over 3 years old - you can't legally drive without one.
The more heavily populated states tend to have vehicle inspection and emissions tests. The more lightly populated ones, like Iowa and Missouri, do not. Also, cars there rust like crazy due to the winter salt on the roads so seeing cars destroyed by rust is common.
And I'm a Brit ex-pat living in Berlin, Germany. Just got my 20 year old Astra through the TÜV (German bi-annual MOT) , couple of advisories but no big issues. I'll keep her as long as I can. I don't know how the hell Dalton gets away with these escapades but he does.
@@laurencehastings7473To explain to our American cousins, an over zealous MOT tester will actually attack the sills - rocker panels to you guys - with a specially made small pointed hammer to check for rust. ... ..
V@@AltTechFanMissouri has safety inspections and emissions tests. The hordes of illiterate, illegal aliens drive all kinds of vehicles in the US without a valid US drivers license, no insurance, no valid state license plates or a proper title for a vehicle.
Pontiacs never die!! You taught me that
Kinda surprised when you walked in next day you didn't just find a pill of rust dust an tires. 😂😂
Great video! Loved seeing the creative “rust repair “ and the collaboration with JYD as well as the other characters that dropped in to help and get the job done so that you could get it done and get home with it. Thanks and have a great weekend!
Oh I’ve been waiting for this one been seeing the teasers on Facebook and instagram
The hour glass worth of sand dumping out of the muffler is classic!
Best workday distraction!
1:07:56 "I can hear it rusting." That line just cracked me up. Thanks for the laugh and keep up the good attitude.
We all love Jim! Please keep Jim around for more videos!
Love your creativity, it's inspiring!
If you can drive the holey goat to Tucson and back, this'll definitely make it!!
56:37 this whole test drive had me dying. Never seen Kevin look so nervous before.
