- I've once again acquired someone else's problem with this 1976 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray plagued by years of neglect and poor workmanship. Can we bring it back from the dead?

It just struck me that one of the many MANY things i love about your channel is that you speak with a normal talking volume instead of shouting, which seems to be the norm on basically every other youtube channel. Happy midsummer!
Turns out after watching this , that my employee left the bolt out of the block after changing the fuel pump on my k5. I paused the video and walked out and looked ,sure enough it was gone. I even reminded him it needed to be in . Haha guess I should have done it myself. We had a laugh about it any way.
i hate the yelling and the goofy ass rap beats so much i will literally stop watching haha
How about being addressed as “HEY GUYS” …. Yuck
I hadn't realized that, I definitely appreciate it too!
Yessssss more parts ....maybe Jess and son could see duct tape to pull off peeling latex while you are a way ......to remove that mess?
Ah yes, as the old saying goes, "Every Twenty Minute Job Is One Broken Bolt Away From Becoming A Three Day Ordeal"
Yes part 2 part 3. What ever it takes.
What ever you do all of Us will watch it.
Best RUclipsR.
i second that. id definitely love a part 2 on im invested in this vette now lol.
I third that , watch anything Dalton and the gang do , I look forward to Polebarn , JCS , Buff , JYD and Puddin content much better than the shit that is called TV these days :D
I agree with them the best you tube channel
I mean NO DISRESPECT of any kind because this channel is one of my top 5 channels to watch. I honestly hope I get here with my garage someday. But when you said "we put a used window unit in" it caught me off guard and I couldn't help but laugh till my side hurt. The randomness of this channel is the absolute best!!! NEVER CHANGE FOR NO ONE!!!
"I can see smells" - Dalton 😂Also hell yeah we want a part 2!
'Those are going on the dumpster, so they can never hurt anyone again.'
You, Dalton, are a 👑 Among Mechanics.
A two'fer week!?! You're spoiling us Dalton, but thanks!
I love the fact that this man works a "normal" 9 to 5, unlike 95% of all automotive channel hosts, and you would never know it if you watched just one random episode. Share this or any other PBG video with your friends, this channel deserves it.
He does not any more, he is now full time RUclips
He quit his electrician job a couple months ago. And is probably regretting his life decisions now.
@@JeffKopis yeah im sure getting to wrench on cars, travel around with family and friends is really a downer, compared to working in a factory for a company that could give two craps about you…
@@sccarguy8242 This stuff ain't easy. Becoming a RUclipsr is HUGE leap of faith. He has to come up with fresh ideas ALL the time, or else he'll hear about it. And heaven forbid he ever takes a week off, or he's 5 minutes late on dropping a video. Or he installs a cotter pin 'wrong'. And YT doesn't offer any insurance or retirement benefits. Guys like Dalton just MAKE it look easy.
Sick flames bro! Everybody knows the first step to repairing any car is to completely disassemble everything and then let it sit for 15 years while you slowly lose all the fasteners and hard to find pieces.
We're going to paint this car out of spite...
NOW THAT'S THE CONTENT THAT I TUNE IN FOR!!!!
Always love the videos man, great job.
Yesss, part 2 and/or 3 please! It's got a lot of potential. 😎
OH C'MON!!! Those flame throwing valve covers were AWESOME!! You just tossed 25HP in the trash!!
Greetings from Sydney NSW ... Spot on, mate!
Of course we want a part 2 and 3 or however many episodes it takes…. You pump them out and we’ll watch them!!!
No hidden agendas, no fakery, no bull. Just good honest hard work, and entertaining us in the process 👌🏻👍🏻
Thank you Dalton!! now I can sit in the A/C and watch a video! 🤣
Keep the Vette going it’s a good story and I’m sure the outcome will be even better! It really is showing how you can do any car well on a budget that the new comers need to see. Keep up the good work!
Got to keep us posted on this vette, im emotionally invested now 😂
JD is the best kid on RUclips - prove me wrong.
Yepp, and Jess is the best wife 😊
Dalton, you are killing it with the videos. You are doing so good, i bought some merch and became a member. Your channel, Mr.Goodpliers, Cold War Motors are the only channels I actually look forward to watching. Keep up the great work man.
Thank you!!
Dalton & JD looking more like brothers more than ever with their fresh haircuts 😂
As for a P2&P3…hell yeah we want more!
Cheers PBG family 🍻🍻🇦🇺
One of the reasons I enjoy your channel so much. Everyday kinda guy working on cars that just so happens to be recording. Relatable, I think all your followers would agree they could have a beer with ya!!!
Absolutely YES definitely would like to see a part two of this Corvette. Would be nice to see what comes of the Vet when finished see how it looks after you paint the Vet. I think that after You finish the Vet it's going to be a really Nice Running and Looking Vet without a whole lot of money. Good luck on your trip hope You and your family have a wonderful time be careful driving and be safe.
Definitely do more videos on the vette. Love your content bro,you Make it entertaining and never boring. It's also cool to see you and JD working on cars together.
I came over here about a month ago, after Western Truck and Tractor Repair recommended your channel. I have watched several of your video's, and love that you fix these, without putting a damn LS or some other electrically controlled garbage in the vehicle's. I was amused to see that you use plenty of liquid nails, which i use for a lot of stuff, and have been using it for well over 20 year's, and the stuff is still holding. I like how you think, because you have to go through a lot of tool's and mental challenges to fix some of this stuff, especially when rust gets involved. I get aggravated at time's, because i have progressive MS, and my whole left side has muscle wasting, weakness, numbness, and tingling. Trying to do stuff when i can barely feel my hand drive's me nuts, but it keeps me out of a wheelchair, so i smoke a an intermittent cigarette, and carry on.
Dalton, i like how your wife and boy work with you on this stuff, you got some good friend's to. G-d bless from a lady in Michigan.
Friends don't let friends use FRAM!!
I used Fram Filters on my ol Ford Ranger sold it w 250k miles never had any issues
Before you slam it
Please don’t Fram it
Silver and Gold Frams are fine, it's the Orange ones only that are Junk...
Dad's van had almost 300k on the original engine running Fram orange filters on it. They really aren't that bad when you do consistent oil changes. I have since changed to Baldwin filters as my local farm supply carries the complete line and oil costs 5-15% cheaper there for the same brand name stuff you get at the auto parts store.
Yah I use them only for flushes I’m rebuilt a motorcycle swapped go kart and I have to do like 4 flushes to get all the bearing material out, and 3 dollar fram filters for the win in that case
These slower style of videos where it's you narrating into the camera while working are my favorite.
Do a part 2!
I love that you tell us the price of the car I really like knowing and no one else does. It help me figure out what a fair/good number is
You and Junkyard digs have become 2 of my favorite car channel youtubers. Thank you for the content.
Best line ever: Lesson to younger guys "sometime life just sucks, just get over it"! Love it!
Painting it out of spite. I love it.
Chrome won't get you home but you'll look more cool as you wait for the tow truck.
As a french dude, honesly, you are a really really good professor of "american V8 damn cars", i own a Ford Galaxie 72' with the 6.6L 400ci on it, witch i need to take tare a lot cause she was sitting outside for like 15 years, and i watch every one of your videos with big interest, i learn a looooot of thing with all of your tips, that just so great to lean that much things.
So yeah, thanks for all Dalton, and thanks for you videos dude !
That needs to be a shirt.
"I've made another terrible financial decision" with the C3 behind it lmao
Now that’s funny! Especially if you can capture that peeling paint and chrome bits underneath! @polebarngarage
I would buy that! viewer from the Netherlands and paying my dues as a fan through a subscription. Hope to be able to come to the states and crack one open one day with Mr Dalton!
Yes, keep going with it. Paint it! Silver or red! 👍
Thanks for PBG normality. No 30 minute intros, no unnecessary music 'enhancement', no explanations about megabuck tools that you might need once in a lifetime, just the usual Dalton pragmatism seasoned with a squirt of break cleaner, a sprig of sarcastic humour and the aroma of fossilised carbon derivatives. I'm sure I won't be the only one looking forward to part two on this Vette.
I forgot to add that i use a 25 year old winch to pull my project in that looks more terrifying than your setup, but it work's lol.
Definitely needs to have a part 2!
Just cracked my first beer, perfect timing after a hard days grind.
Yes! Please do a part 2 and three! Thank you!
One of the things thats helped me when using EZ outs and left hand bits is to keep increasing the drill size until im at the maximum size that fits before getting into the threads
Sounds right.
Lets the material collapse in hopefully?
That's what I like about PBG....no sponsers to clutter the shop....no fake personality....100 percent real
Quote of this vid: "Converted to vice grip size." Winning!
Just so he doesn't make a visegrip garage. Derek did that all ready! LOL
Part 2 can't wait. Thank you for your time and everything you do for us Gearheads out here
Looks like there's no need to start the air conditioner fund for the garage now 😂
I don’t know what to say. I have been watching that other giant channel, rhymes with rice chip, and was satisfied enough. I initially thought you were another of the same. Nope.
You have a job AND a successful channel. No gushing, no touting the virtues of your latest laser cutter, no mega barn builds or bragging about the people waiting in line for hours to buy your merch. Just a guy, with a kid and a wife that are all in together. Getting dirty, drinking tea, being normal and providing a wealth of usable information. Thank you! Now I just need to find an Avanti.
If you weld a washer on first then the nut on the washer it has worked every time for me
Yes! All the parts of this please.
Shoot if you made a 10 part series on the car I would watch. You have become my favorite channel to watch on youtube!
Definitely want a part 2 and part 3! Really enjoy your style, you work like a lot of us do, car on jack stands, rolling around on the floor/dirt.
Ah, just saw the notification and now I have something good to watch.
Cheers Dalton.
Love to see a part II..and lets see a budget paint job please...Thanks for the entertainment!
🤣🤣🤣 lol painting it out of spite! nice!
Thanks Dalton, yes definitely want to see part 2 brother! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙋🏼✌🏻✌🏻
im glad you got home after your accident. RIP Squarebody
Congratulations on the garage ac! Definitely lookin forward to a pt 2 and 3
Dale got himself a corvette! 🏴☠️
Great video and a big thumbs up to a part 2/3
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that Corvette summer Corvette was an abomination 😂😂
Yeah man i wanna see a part 2 of this , that engine lokks good for some paint just thrown at it no primer or tapping off anything lol
I miss he beautiful Red Corvette,,, Dalton's Daily ... AirCon in the PBG awesome ....no more dripping sweat and grease...
Just got the email. My PBG Merch is on the way! Just in time for the 4th of July weekend! Thanks PBG fam
Awesome!!
Damn Dude, you're on a roll! I love it 💝
I got one of your hats from the merch shop, I really appreciate your outlook of it doesn't have to be perfect - it has let me progress a lot in my own projects and not agonize over the small stuff at the expense of having fun. Too many shows out there buying the entire jegs catalogue and bolting it to their car. Keep it real.
JD, aka Junior-Dude, is growing into a regular dude. Good job being a cool dad, Dalton.
grabbing my beer now and gunn watch this lol
Thanks for the video Yes and I'd like to see a part two on that Corvette
Alright again being a member pays off
Yes, it's so good!
Best $10 I spend every month!!
100% worth it!
Worth my 10 for sure!!
@@stannie99no its not
This is definitely my kinda build. Thanks for the video!
I have no idea how youre bustin ass in this heat
Hell I'm not doing anything. Think about the guys out there in construction or pipeline work
We’ve been running high 90s to 101 for over a week and next week is more of the same. It’s always been like this in NC but I ain’t as young as I used to be.
I’m an exterminator carrying a 65# sprayer wearing a rain jacket and full face mask. Luckily we barely broke 85• but I give up after 1-2 pm. I feel bad for roofers, black top workers, they get no breaks, no relief. But likely high as a kite 😵
Dalton, I've been going through a rough patch lately and your attitude and advice to just keep going has gotten me through a lot of shit. Thanks Dalton!
Hahaha, "Unique paint job" - definitely a FBMP selling point!
Want to see it painted ,you are great at it .
2 pbg vids in one week?
He's back on his upload schedule if I'm right he aims for once a week
You and kevin from jyd have wholly inspired me to get into classic cars, and at the age of 16, i’ve got a 65 thunderbird with a hell of a lot of problems, and your video on the white 66 tbird has been my holy grail of info on my car. Thanks for making these videos.
Wow, 25 seconds. That's a first for me.
2 minutes for me! It’s nearly 2am over here in Australia! 🥲
Not for me. I always finish in 25 seconds... 😏
Of course we want part 2 and part 3! I wouldn't mind seeing you work through that small block you took out to see if its any good or not as a separate video as well..
LOVE the 76's. Great C3's if you replace the engine with one that has some compression! Thanks for giving us the heads up on the flaring tool, I need a better one! Fun vid, enjoy Wyoming! A+++++
I I love this channel because he is a normal guy with not alot of money for building cars.he shows how to fix things on q budget or how to repair things. I also love how he explains things in a easy way. And I love his way of explaining things in a simple way
We watch you for these video. We'd love these projects in parts. Whatever works best for you man
definitely part 2 and 3, you did a beautiful job on that pick up so can't wait to see the paint on this one. Cheers!
I know I told YA before but you're my #1 favorite now. Keep up the cool videos. I love how you and the family get through all the problems. Envious of that. Keep up the good work. Let me know if you need anything and I'll try to send you more stuff.
Great video. Love your perseverance and determination. Thanks for taking the time to explain/show in detail the brakes and many other procedures with some suggestions of the tools to use. Your videos involve a lot more time than just what is seen. Your attitude of, "it's not a problem, it's a challenge" is awesome. Looking forward to Parts 2 and 3.
Thanks for showing the brake caliper rebuild, it just so happens I'll have to do the same soon!
Cheers Dalton. Yes we want to see the Vette finished. Another great vid Bro. Keep em comming. Enjoy your time with your family.
Finish it! Have a good trip, enjoy, & be safe!
Always got to respect a guy grinding..!! Also showing his son how to fix stuff..
FILM ALL THE PARTS FOR THIS VET ;) We want to see it. Also, for some reason, this is the actual first caliper rebuild I've seen. Way to easy to do. Thanks for that, sir!
Love to see you continue on this car! I'd love to see what you do with her. Good work so far and have a safe trip and a great time!
Absolutely love that you're doing another C3! My wife had a '77 L82 when we were in university, I had a 1987 Thunderbird TurboCoupe, both were a total hoot. I'm a Mopar guy by upbringing, I have a Dodge Challenger R/T now, but I absolutely love C3 Corvettes. Second favourite generation after the C2's.
I lusted after a hydraulic flaring tool similar to what you use when I was in the trades back in the early 2000's, but I wanted the kit that did all the goofy friggin push to connect flares that the big three seemed to be in love with starting in the late 80's as well. Never got one. But I have the manual version of the double flare tool you're using, saw Kevin over at Junkyard Digs using it and it saved me so much time and frustration when I had to do a bunch of the brake lines on my last winter beater.
You are so on point on this show episode. Very educational and helpful for anyone interested in learning how to do a good brake caliper rebuild on this type of brakes. Nice professional appearance as well. Hmmm now what happened with the Harmonic balancer????? OH WELL!! I bet that engine was a runner though and maybe well built to run? Great instructional on flaring brake lines.. Engine assembled and looks great. Cool self brake bleeder. Great family assistance, involvement... Yepper,, Get Er done and painted.. Great show . Keep em sane and safe...
Looking forward to seeing part 2 and or 3 of this. My favorite part will be what kind of unique paint you come up with.
Love to see the finishing touch on this one Dalton! Lots of RESPECT.
I am an industrial mechanic extracting broken bolts is common real left hand drill bits some timeswill work easy outs are shit get the 4sided PROTO extractors cost a bit but worth it love what you do cheers
I would love to see additional videos on this car. Excellent video as always. Have a safe trip to Wyoming, Dalton.
Yes part II and III !! I was typing that I wanted to see you body work on it just when you said you’d probably paint sooo cool!
Bloody brilliant! 🙌🙌… best car show out there! Regards to You, MsJ and JD. 👏👏👏
I have the aluminum rad and carburetor manifold. We love watching you and your son work...THANK YOU. 😊
Your one of the few that knows about the fuel pump bolt hole. Many Years ago a old mechanic showed me .
Yes ... A part 2 is needed.. thank-you from Vietnam.
You have an incredible amount of subscribers, and nobody deserves it more than you congratulations Dalton
awesome progress. suffered with you. loved the fresh editing style, more jump cuts and all, as it seemed. but still thorough when needed. perfect balance. the old Vette grows on me. hope you have a good family trip.
