  • We had a lot of fun at our first cruise night of the year! I brought out my 1956 Chevy for the first time and needless to say, the car got a lot of attention (and not the good kind).

    Had such a great time at the first cruise night of the year! Thanks to everyone who came & checked out the car. Had a good laugh editing this one 😂 ALSO a lot of the people in the video are good friends who didn't know the car was mine. They gave me permission to use their reactions in the video

Every spot of rust has a story. We’ve been talking about how to neutralize the surface rust but not change appearance. That car will never be restored or repainted if we have a say

      You must not be around a lot of old school car guys. Most had an area of interest and stick to it. Buick guys, Tri 5 etc. It was very tribal when I was a kid in the 80s. I didn't know ANYTHING about a car that wasn't a Chevy. But I like everything and been on the internet since '98. It's funny how you throw coil cover valve covers and a carb and throw so many off. I really think it would be cool to convert an LS to a Distributor 😂 no one would know what the hell it was

The trunk floor is flat, and sometime later a cop wanted me to open my trunk ( to see if we were carrying guns, I lived in Detroit ) I got out a screwdriver and popped it - all the empties came out like a waterfall- none of them broke but they were bouncing like ping - pong balls.

    As a 50 year old car guy, I'm a little saddened that only one person knew that was an LS and it was probably the oldest guy there. Not a lot of die hard car folks there if they can't spot an LS from a mile away. People only been building them for 20+ years now. HaHa First video of yours that I have watched and I immediately said, ohhh, an LS. Sweet! Love the video! Subbed!

    Fun video, my dad had a '56 convertible. I came home from the hospital in it in 1961. I peed the back seat when I was about 1 year old and he never let me forget it. He passed when I was 48. Not breaking chops but is your choke working? I couldn't see with the air filter on. Put in a manual, so much easier and they work. I see so many people on you-tube, who know what they're doing, not using the choke. Comments are the car were funny.

      ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I'm 73 , been a carb guy since the teen years..........My carbs get a manual choke [cable],,,,,To properly warm an engine ; takes at least 3 minutes ; most are lazy and sit there holdin the gas pedal , when I tell em they need to do it correctly ; they interrupt me , sayin , the excess gas burns right off.............WRONG , it burns right in ; that is a layer of improperly atomized hydrocarbon coating the plug.........When I build a fresh engine ; two things must be in place. the carb set-up , and the ignition timing is staticly set to light the mixture off in two seconds ; the engine runs and idles at a safe fast idle ; now I can look for leaks and other possibilities

      Did you ever inquire where conception occured.

    WOW! Thanks, This video brought back lot's of great memories of the 60's!
    The "Run what you brung" days! This would have been an everyday driver to school, work and Drive In Friday nights! Saturday nights back road drag strip, farm to market road,
    NHRA approved spray paint start/finish line...LOL! High Tech finish, first fender over the line! Most of the time we would have an officer from SAPD (San Antonio Tx. Police Department) or county deputy with us.
    You mentioned brakes, that's how I earned money in Junior and High school.
    Drop it off at my house after school or work. I'd tear it down, drop off drums and brake shoes at "Reds" auto parts on my way to school, he would turn the drums, reline the shoes and kits to rebuild master and brake cylinders' then drop them off on my front porch!
    Can you imagine complete brake overhaul for under $20, that included parts and labor!
    Will be watching your progress!

Son's first car, 54 Belair moredoor, engine is a cobbled together Frankenstein from what was sitting around, 96 ZZ4 short block, 65 corvette humps, mystery highrise intake, hot lunatti cam, power drums, overhauled front steering/suspension with 94 power rack, and a 57 highway gear rear end. She ain't the prettiest flower in the garden, but he is proud.

    I think it awesome having a rusty runner. Don't have to worry about stone chip and just drive the wheels off er'. Left a show one day and the guy next to me was acting like a prick. Guy on the other side of me said ''he's mad because that ol' tank you got, got more attn' than his''. Guy had a 32', cherry red, roadster. I've seen dozens just like that. My 53' plymouth however, is not common in my area. No problem with a red 32', but don't shit on my car cause it's simply less common. Of course it'll get some attn. Anyway, i miss that ol' girl. Got a 63' Bel Air now, aboutthesame condition. She runs decent and is too much fun. Drive what ya like and have fun. 🤘

    I have a real 440 6 barrel 4 speed Plymouth SuperBird that was in a garage fire. I let a buddy of mine drive it to a local car show a couple of weekends ago. Some love it and some of the purists absolutely hate it. You can see their heads wanting to spin around like Linda Blair. lol

    I see a 56 chevy with fenderwell headers and a six cylinder radiator,
    ( or at least what looks like one )
    I also see an electric windshield wiper motor instead of vacuum.
    Reminds me of the 1970s .
    I know about every square inch of these cars.
    I had two 57 sedans and 55 two- door wagon.

  • @OldelPaso68
    @OldelPaso68 17 дней назад

    Primo idea to video capture people's reactions & comments. Your '56 is such a cool ride; offers tons of character. "Are those bullet holes in the windshield?" LoL. My first time to watch your vids, will watch others to get more info.
    My first car was a '57 sedan that my Pop helped buy in 1970. 283 4bbl w/3-on-the-tree. Had a blast with it during high school. Been in love with Tri-Fives and a Chevy guy since. The '56 has the coolest OEM access to the gas tank! I have old-school bookend 1972 Chevy's now, a Corvette and a Z28. It's a disease that I'm satisfied to live with.
    Noticed both '56s with fenderwell headers. I had them on mine with same muffler setup as Liv's, especially with the phantom LS that most couldn't ID. Lack of a distributer and other clues threw them off, huh? "Is that a V6?"
    You guys have great chemistry and thanks for the update on the local car scene. Subscribed to discover more. Keep up the fun work!
