  • 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?

    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!!!

      @less5406 3 месяца назад +4

      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

    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.

  • @laserhawk64
    @laserhawk64 3 месяца назад

    I... don't know how, but Dalton, you seem to have mastered the art of the good bad decision. You have a way of taking cars that arguably are worth less than a trash bag full of soda cans at the scrap place, and turning them into running, driving vehicles that are at least vaguely safe enough to arguably flip and resell them, or pass on to friends, as long as the buyer or friend knows a little about wrenching.
    Literally every car I can think of that you've bought has turned out to be something where if I knew the person who'd bought it, I'd tell them to fill it with fireworks, find an empty field that was nothing but mud and dirt, and see what kind of a Fourth-of-July spectacular they could make with it... and on a Dollar General budget and a six-pack of cans of whatever's on the cheapest sale at Wal*Mart this week and will approximately get you drunk, you turn it into a running, driving vehicle that, again, if kept by someone who at least knows maintenance basics, could be a rock-bottom daily driver for them.
    I don't know how the heck you do what you do, Dalton, but please don't ever stop. You, sir, are a force for good, however unlikely it may otherwise seem.

    For sure. More Vette content.
    I think you did the right thing putting the other motor in. You knew it ran, at least.
    From the looks of the spark plugs in the motor that came with the car, I would say it's a no go there. Yikes!
    Safe travels on your trip.

    Ima lovin the a/c. Don’t go the way of most channels and get greedy and presumptuous. I watch you because of relatability and your humor not because you start spending money on crews of people to make you look good. My favorite channels are Fitzie, Halfass garage, street Rat, and you. All of these channels are personable and relatable. JD is a big plus also.😊

    C3's can truly be a pain in the axle with all of the frickin plastic parts, and certainly aren't for everybody, but they're still some of the (relatively) direct and to the point vehicles that I've worked on over the years. That '77 steering column going into ANYTHING... The "Look at me! I'm a one-off year everything model!" … That's brutal self-torture all on its own.
