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
Because back then you were learned in school to think for yourself. if they dont learn you that when you are 4/5 years old, you never learn it and will be braindead for life.
My brother and I go to the mopar nationals and get tired of looking at the shiny polished trailer queens. We always end up looking over the station wagons and barn finds, they still have a history to them.
I’ve got a cousin with the family ‚56. been passed down since grand grand dad bought it new everybody in the family plus a few learned to drive in it and added their own scratches and rubs. 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
Agreed. I was at a small show and a guy had an old Ford Maverick that was showroom new. I mean, close to perfect. I probably spent 20 minutes looking at every aspect of that car, and another 20 minutes talking to the guy...and I am not a Maverick guy!
I love these two. Kind of reminds me of my youth and some of the cars I owned. Oh the tolerance I had for being stranded on the side of the road in the middle of the night before there were cell phones.
Fellow 69 Camaro owner here (from Sacramento), stumbled across this random video on my feed! Great video. You two are are super cute and love your story on how you met. I always wanted to mic my car to hear peoples "knowledge" on how my car should look. Kudos!
That is SO GREAT, putting the camera and microphone under the hood at a car show! I love hearing and seeing all the different people's reactions! Thanks for sharing it with us!
These miliums don't knowabything about.any classic ride just.want to copy us ogs 1960s northern calif 🇺🇲they need to stick with their pacifier phones n video games
There's a lot of self proclaimed gearheads that don't know shit! I have a blow through turbo'd 401 AMC in a street legal bellytank that stumps 499 people out of 500. I did it just to piss off the wannabe's! 😜
To be honest I have not seen many transplanted cars and most of the LS motors I have seen are buried in an engine bay. Most of those old guys probably have not worked on "modern" stuff that much.
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
@@berserkir You would like the Duramax I did with finned valve covers that makes it look like a twin turbo flathead Ford, that fucks with everybody's brain. I'm in my 70's & have been doing this shit since the 60's.🤓
That was really gutsy and cool. It definitely enhanced a lot of conversation. I can’t believe people didn’t know that was an LS motor with a carburetor.
I get comments from people like that all the time about my ls swapped 94 ranger people think its a big block ford or 289 still has the truck intake on it from the Silverado. And ask me what that box in my bed of the truck i had to tell them its a fuel cell then thry ask me what it do i say it's for the fuel they say wtf i never seen that before im like where you been at all your life these supposed to be car people 🤦♂️im like omfg people the stuff been around for years even decades just like shaved door handles like I had a mini truck lowered and all people ask me how I get in my truck I said door poppers they ask me what's that I explain to them again 😂
@@Businessecomm.Ai1 when i was a kid i saw a green lowrider truck with shaved handles and the whole segment in the magazine talked about how the doors work
@ghost.of.aleksz.salad. yes that must've been interesting as a kid I remember my brother or dad brought home mini truck magazine I like the mini truck look everybody else was into jdm and Hondas or lifted trucks I was into minis
@@aluminumfalcon552Van Halen actually recorded an exotic car idling for the drum intro on the song "Hot For Teacher". The gurgling exhaust sound had a tempo just right for the song. I never knew that car idling sound was in there; I thought it was just drums!
This is something I can see myself doing. Pulling up to a car show in a car I found and got running, Redo the brakes, do an oil change, get a fuel tank, fuel lines, fuel pump, get new tires, get it aligned, and Change nothing else.
I've restored a few cars to perfection. I was afraid to drive them, so I sold them. Now I like ugly runners, so much more fun. Birds never shit on them either! Go figure.
Nice 56. Olivia, you can put a few pieces of charcoal on an aluminum pie plate inside your car to help with absorbing moisture and getting rid of moldy smell. Sounds crazy, but try it out.
I did the bowls of white vinegar on my mom’s car. She smoked like a chimney. It made it bearable to sit in but I ended up going with an ozone generator for two 30 minute sessions. Got it to about 90% smell free. Only thing is I understand it can degrade plastics and rubber if left on too long
Don't worry about all of those negative comments Olivia. Just use them for motivation to build a kickass car! I know you will too! People will be eating those words someday! ;-) Every build has to start from somewhere. You are lucky. Yours is pretty solid underneath. It's definitively better than a lot of Tri 5's that age. You'll make it happen!
I don't mind the negative comments at all actually. I genuinely had a good laugh watching the footage. I love the car so much and that's all that matters. :)
@@GnarlySpeedShop And quite frankly, I wouldn't care if you kept it that way! I have a super good running 1969 AMX, but it looks awful. I have had it that way, and that condition, since 1995.
Same here. I'll let kids jump in. As long as they ask, i don't mind at all. Sometimes the gift bags some shows give, has a ''please do not touch'' card. I bring a marker to cross out the ''not''. Depends on the car and owner, but again, as long as i'm asked, no worries.
Awesome vid! Your car was a hit! I was a professional bowler for 15 years and I met my wife at the U S open bowling tournament in 1992 and got married 4 years later. You two are destined to get married❤️ Sealed the deal When she found out I had a 67 camaro 😉 LOL
Cheeta is a fiberglass kit car from when everyone wanted a Cobra or Corvette but could not afford one. Good on you guys for getting out to the car show and driving what you got!
Cool car. You can't replicate a look like that. Awesome. I can see why you mentioned the brakes with the original drums on it... even worse when you go downhill and they get hot😂
I bet more people at the car show check out your car than the others. Its just hard to believe it runs and drives but its so cool. I'd feel better cruising in that than something freshly painted and detailed.
I have a 51 Chevy Panel and a 68 F100 4x4 that I have been driving for over 44 years. Both are mechanically solid with absolutely no rework on the bodywork or interiors. There are rust holes everywhere. There is a very distinct group of people who appreciate them as is. I couldn't care less what others think.
I took a friend to car show he wanted go to in my 69 Camaro. I built the entire car in my carport including engine. Jerks with their 2 or 300k resto’s were bunch of idiots never touched a tool and thought they were so bad ass
A little respect please for us old guys. If it wasn't for us you'd have nothing to look at. The younger generation thinks a car has to have a TV screen to drive it 🙄
The Comments were funny to watch on your car, I'm 70 years old and I still know the difference between a small block and an LS motor.. I was really surprised to see how many people were clueless About your engine and the rest of the car. Anyway I've been enjoying watching you guys for the last few months, keep up the good work.
Nice video. Enjoyed the car show. Im not a chevy guy, i like Fords but appreciate when people trh and restore old classics. This will be a great platform for you to break into restoration. Dont worry bout the critics, everyone has an opinion. Yours is the one that counts. Enjoy working on your car, its all about the journey... Hope you all had a great time. Ill be checking out cars myself at the next car show in Texas. Ya'll take care. God bless...
I love your 56. No one can deny it got a lot of attention. Years ago when I was in the process of building my 55 American Graffiti clone. I ended up parked to a very nice 56 Chevy. Way nicer than mine. As we were both sitting behind our guys. A couple hours goes by, and he leans over, and says. Have you noticed people are passing by my car to look at yours. You just never know what a car crowd is gonna like, lol.
I think it’s so funny watching the younger generations dealing with old automotive technology like carbs, manual window winders etc The look of satisfaction when they rebuild a carburetor & it starts after a couple of pumps is definitely a great thing to see. 🤙
So fun! I love the candid camera aspect haha. Wheres the distributor and the one-two pumps old dudes were my favorites. Seems like the engine is hard to decipher. Good times! 😂🤙
This reminds me of hanging out at the track on a test night, having a bunch of people telling me how to race or work/build my car "the right way". Been doing it my whole life, but glad you came out for your first night and are that much of an expert already 😄 My favourite is the guys who bring their girlfriends and explain how drag racing and car stuff works, but it's all wrong. I just let'm all talk and go along with it. Good entertainment.
I don't care what other things but that 56 is beautiful the way it is, she looks like she's seen many of the street battle then laid to rest and retired to enjoy the remainder of her life enjoying car shows and cruises bumper to bumper that car is awesome
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
I to came home from a hospital in 1961, my Dad had a green 56 Ford. Did you ever inquire where conception occured. Neither did I, think tiki stick opening the trunk, ol dad didn't have a tiki stick in his pocket and Mom's 🍒 was missing when he got it opened
Awesome! Love the run what you brung cars over the mega dollar queens. Doin same thing here. 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.
The beauty of having a mic/camera set up. Place them in a spot non visible next time! it's funny how two-faced folks are but will smile at ya' and say Good job')
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!
Too Cool! I Thought I saw the Big Wave at that show! I love that car.. Anyway, mostly positive remarks and comments on your new Chevy, so that's cool. Another great video.
Awesome reactions! I had a beat up Chevelle in HS. I’d pull up to a car show full of finished rides, we’d pile out and pop the hood then go check out the pretty cars.
A good friend of mine went to Back to the 50’s here in Minnesota a couple years ago, walked by every painted and polished car there to check out all the rats. “Hey there’s some rust over there!” I love cars like this WAY more than the pretty ones. This thing is perfect!
Good for you..."Run what you brung"...We do ol school..Studebakers with rust..We have fun with "Studebaker Butchers Club"..but mottos to remember.."Kustom because Stock Sucks"...And "Built..not bought"... As long as YOU are having fun with it..Remember ..it doesn't leak...It marks it's territory!!!Funny thing is...I purchased my '62 Studebaker 4 Dr Lark in Poway, Ca.. 24 years ago with a 170 ohv six..no headlights, no gas filler and a tree had fallen on the roof..For $900 and drove it back to South Bend, Indiana..Still drive that to shows...rust and all.!
I love them all. As a kid I used to modify my Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars by wrecking some of them purposely to get that aged look that reflected the reality of the state of many of the vehicles in my era.
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!
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!
Went through the same thing . I am the second owner of a 66 hemi charger, was my dads car . She’s rusty , leaky but runs like a beast. I’m 58 had the drive line rebuilt and well it gets laughed at till I slam the skinny pedal to the floor .
This was so stressful to watch lol..sooo many none car people at a car meet..I love that you took it and are rockin it as you work on it!! Keep on keepin on!
In 1986 the Best of Show at the Oldsmobile Club of America Nationals convention in Santa Maria, California was a late 1940s Oldsmobile sedan that was a rust bucket, as if the people had fled the Midwest for the west coast in the only jalopy they owned! There was zero paint anywhere! Beautiful car.
I live in a hot rod rich town. Shows are every weekend. Nobody looks at the perfectly restored muscle cars anymore. They flock to the beaters and rats with rust and dents.
Great car show, and what a bonus to see and hear the various reactions. It really is a cool car, and once you do the things you plan to do it will really be nice!
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
I don’t remember watching anything about this car. So what engine is in it?
@@hooligangeneral300Check out the other 2 videos on the channel. It's a 5.3 LS that's carbureted and has coil pack covers to disguise it.
The bowling shot was the Fred flintstone twinkle toes style clearly and great form.
Great job just leave them scratching their heads 😂😂😂
I have that exact swizzle stick in my home Tiki bar in Australia
Funniest 2 things captured,
1. The probably oldest guy was the only one who knew it's an LS.
2. The little girl saying how do they drive it.
Because back then you were learned in school to think for yourself. if they dont learn you that when you are 4/5 years old, you never learn it and will be braindead for life.

Buggly is in the eye of the blind. Come try to piss on me. Didn't think so.
Love It !! Cant believe how many people could not figure out LS !! You had them by hiding the coil packs Lol

Nice video. Enjoyed the car show. Im not a chevy guy, i like Fords but appreciate when people trh and restore old classics. This will be a great platform for you to break into restoration. Dont worry bout the critics, everyone has an opinion. Yours is the one that counts. Enjoy working on your car, its all about the journey...
Hope you all had a great time. Ill be checking out cars myself at the next car show in Texas. Ya'll take care. God bless...
I love your 56. No one can deny it got a lot of attention. Years ago when I was in the process of building my 55 American Graffiti clone. I ended up parked to a very nice 56 Chevy. Way nicer than mine. As we were both sitting behind our guys. A couple hours goes by, and he leans over, and says. Have you noticed people are passing by my car to look at yours. You just never know what a car crowd is gonna like, lol.
Even with the patina. The amount of people that lean on it and touch it is wild.
I think it’s so funny watching the younger generations dealing with old automotive technology like carbs, manual window winders etc
The look of satisfaction when they rebuild a carburetor & it starts after a couple of pumps is definitely a great thing to see. 🤙
So fun! I love the candid camera aspect haha. Wheres the distributor and the one-two pumps old dudes were my favorites. Seems like the engine is hard to decipher. Good times! 😂🤙
love seeing these cars on the road- not just the perfect ones-any running condition is just wonderful!
Good for you and Danny for taking your 56 Bel Air to the show. I’m always drawn to the “work in progress” cars at any of the local shows I frequent.
Yes, cool ! It's always cool to see two door classics still on the road no matter what it needs. 👍
Great comments. The real talk of the town!
You can tell this is out west somewhere. If this was at a car show in the east coast everyone I know would of been stoked on this sweet old ride
It was a scream listening to the the experts not knowing what they were looking at. ROFL glad you had a good time.
Man, I feel bad for most of these people at the show. They know absolutely nothing about cars...😂🤣👽
“If you’re good to me, I’ll be better to you.” Love it. Put that on a T-shirt!
"It hit all the seagulls" as someone who cruises my 39 ford in Galveston Texas from time to time I definitely felt that😂
This reminds me of hanging out at the track on a test night, having a bunch of people telling me how to race or work/build my car "the right way". Been doing it my whole life, but glad you came out for your first night and are that much of an expert already 😄 My favourite is the guys who bring their girlfriends and explain how drag racing and car stuff works, but it's all wrong. I just let'm all talk and go along with it. Good entertainment.
Out living life,having a great time and laughing at the haters.then on to your special place in the world.doesn’t get any better then that!
I don't care what other things but that 56 is beautiful the way it is, she looks like she's seen many of the street battle then laid to rest and retired to enjoy the remainder of her life enjoying car shows and cruises bumper to bumper that car is awesome
Great idea to have the camera and mic. Fun hearing the comments. I love the 56. My favorite part is the green tinted windows.
Good for you.
You are the new caretaker of that incredible car
It's soul wants to be on the road cruising, providing smiles to everyone it touches 👍
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
I to came home from a hospital in 1961, my Dad had a green 56 Ford.
Did you ever inquire where conception occured.
Neither did I, think tiki stick opening the trunk, ol dad didn't have a tiki stick in his pocket and Mom's 🍒 was missing when he got it opened
Awesome! Love the run what you brung cars over the mega dollar queens. Doin same thing here. 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.
Nice gasser. I took my 46 Chevy rat rod to a car show in Ankeny. It was the only rat there. They looked at it like it was from Mars. Bunch of snobs. 😅
Wow your ride is so rad! I love the old dudes that said "she just got a lil work to do" Those guys know whats up
The beauty of having a mic/camera set up. Place them in a spot non visible next time! it's funny how two-faced folks are but will smile at ya' and say Good job')
The reactions were awesome and hilarious!
Right? Some of the people featured are actually friends who didn't know the car was mine! Hahah
Ok when you take off the hood pop the springs off so the hinges dont stand up or just unbolt the hinges with the hood on it.....
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!
Love seeing old cars out there with rust on ‘em. It took many years to achieve that look.
Too Cool! I Thought I saw the Big Wave at that show! I love that car.. Anyway, mostly positive remarks and comments on your new Chevy, so that's cool. Another great video.
Awesome reactions!
I had a beat up Chevelle in HS. I’d pull up to a car show full of finished rides, we’d pile out and pop the hood then go check out the pretty cars.
A good friend of mine went to Back to the 50’s here in Minnesota a couple years ago, walked by every painted and polished car there to check out all the rats. “Hey there’s some rust over there!” I love cars like this WAY more than the pretty ones. This thing is perfect!
Good for you..."Run what you brung"...We do ol school..Studebakers with rust..We have fun with "Studebaker Butchers Club"..but mottos to remember.."Kustom because Stock Sucks"...And "Built..not bought"... As long as YOU are having fun with it..Remember ..it doesn't leak...It marks it's territory!!!Funny thing is...I purchased my '62 Studebaker 4 Dr Lark in Poway, Ca.. 24 years ago with a 170 ohv six..no headlights, no gas filler and a tree had fallen on the roof..For $900 and drove it back to South Bend, Indiana..Still drive that to shows...rust and all.!
I love them all. As a kid I used to modify my Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars by wrecking some of them purposely to get that aged look that reflected the reality of the state of many of the vehicles in my era.
Great car, and great vid! Fun to watch!!! Loved the comment, "Smells like a moldy back porch". I've got a 56 GMC with the same exact aroma!
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!
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!
I love it!! Its classy!!
Cool 56 Chevy Rusty Car. it will be so cool looking when she fix everything on it.
Went through the same thing .
I am the second owner of a 66 hemi charger, was my dads car . She’s rusty , leaky but runs like a beast. I’m 58 had the drive line rebuilt and well it gets laughed at till I slam the skinny pedal to the floor .
This was so stressful to watch lol..sooo many none car people at a car meet..I love that you took it and are rockin it as you work on it!! Keep on keepin on!
In 1986 the Best of Show at the Oldsmobile Club of America Nationals convention in Santa Maria, California was a late 1940s Oldsmobile sedan that was a rust bucket, as if the people had fled the Midwest for the west coast in the only jalopy they owned! There was zero paint anywhere! Beautiful car.
I love listening to the old timers!
I absolutely love the platina on the ol girl, perfect 👌
I live in a hot rod rich town. Shows are every weekend. Nobody looks at the perfectly restored muscle cars anymore. They flock to the beaters and rats with rust and dents.
The car has Mad Max rat rod appeal. I would explain the windshield, my husband was a bank robber, this was his get-away car.
This was great Olivia! Everyone 's different comments, guess..reactions!! Great 👍 👌!
Great car show, and what a bonus to see and hear the various reactions. It really is a cool car, and once you do the things you plan to do it will really be nice!
My mother-in-law lives in Camarillo. She was born and raised there. Knowing her and hearing the comments--I am not too surprised...
Girl your a sidewinder bowler lol looked like a blast can't wait to see more of the car
