Thank you I am blessed
I had the exact same car in High School. I could pile 10 friends in back and go to town. I hit a deer, backed into a guy at the bowling alley, got side swiped, and it was so rusted out the popcorn I was selling for FFA was growing on the floor of the back seat....most funest car ever. This video almost made me cry.
My friend just told me other day he tried the Vienyas without knowing I watch this, ( too salty he said)and he loves goats and I just showed this video to him and it Made His Day. thanks.
That’s awesome thank you
The brake drum springs were to absorbed vibes o there was no brake squeal. Also helped dissipate heat...
I saw this video pop up in my search. As soon a I saw it, I says to myself, I gotta watch this one now! So here I am. This is going to be fun.
Thank you really appreciate it. Subscribe if you havnt already we got more cool stuff on the way
Old cars, good mechanics and baby goats. What's not to love. Great video again guys. That's a neat old car.
Thank you I’m glad you liked it
Enjoyed that! Boys doing boyish things! Axe making, saving the wife's candy, getting greasy and oily and reviving a great old car. Friends of ours had a pair of them. One for his work and one for going to town in. Full restore needed.
Thank you I’m glad you like it
The car looks great on the road. Please consider a complete rebuild for this beauty. Thank you for bringing us along.
Thank you for watching
I Mean 3 min into the video and it's already. SUPER SUPER KICK BUTT. The freaky fast editing at the very beginning and the super awsome into with Ralpie.
ALREADY. A #1 BLOCK BUSTER IN MY BOOK. YOU ARE ON FIRE BROTHER
Thank you really appreciate it
I just told my husband earlier today that I'd really like to get our red 1965 Valiant on the road.....what a treat to see this. And even better, to hear that Chrysler starter!!! I grew up with a full sized 66 Chrysler wagon that never wanted to start when it rained.....that mopar starter sound is permanently imprinted in my brain and music to my ears!!!
That’s awesome thank you
What Wonderful memories your building with your family. More family time is what this world needs. Keep it up.
Thank you I am blessed
Valiant is plymouth, dart is dodge. I vote for complete restore
I want to say Thanks For Having Your son Help along the way, My first Car I drove Was a 1963 dodge dart Got in my first crash in it and Loved the way she rode. I will never forget Them Days. So Thanks For sharing this cool Find With All Of Us. Save Her she's Mint. Stay safe Dizzy.
Thank you for watching
@@Sleeperdude Watching??? I'm Hooked now Brother, You Have a Great family and That is What life is all about, Thank You For Sharing My friend, Stay safe Dizzy.
What a hoot, you guys are great. Just watching your family working together is great. Love to see Ralphie with you, I know he will follow you in your passion for saving all the old cars he can. And by the way, I get a kick out of watching the baby goats.
Thank you really appreciate it
A push button transmission.
Last one I saw was in a Rambler.
OMG!
This just gets better and better.
You have me feeling young again sir.
The memories of working on those older cars.
I'm walking 🚶♂️down memory lane just taking my time.
That’s awesome thank you
Theres nothing else to say but...You guys put a big smile on my face! Love it!!!
Thank you I’m glad you liked it
Next a demo on how to correctly pack wheel bearings and set bearing per-load would be a good service for your younger subscribers who've never had that lesson. I enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work.
I live in the middle of Illinois and it has got to have the rustiest cars in the United States. You just can't find old cars that haven't rusted away to nothing. I love seeing these old cars saved.
That’s terrible
These were the best automobiles that were manufactured yet can go far.Amazing machine...
Thank you
Hey sleeperdude we really enjoy the"whole family"content. I try to involve all my family on the project cars we have. An easy way to free up those frozen adjusters (star wheel), lay the female end on an anvil and wack it with a bfh. It works really well.
Ok thank you
Knowing that Ralphies axe was important...that right there makes even more memories of working with dad. Outstanding! And all the smiles and laughter...just priceless! Love that wagon too!
A true family affair, every time!
Thank you I am blessed
@@Sleeperdude you truly are.
And your family is blessed with you. Keep up the excellent work with the cars and the family!
Pie crust casing made me laugh lol. And the springs around the drum helps keep it from making to much ringing sounds when applying the brakes. Basically just a noise dampener
Thank you
More of a heat vent
Those goats are so cute and the little ones are like hoping around with no care in the world. Ive taken to you and your family bc you guys work as a team and show family is everything. Your channel and vice grip garage and mortske repair are the 3 I watch all the time but lately ive only watched your channels.
Can we take a minute and give this man a hand for making his boys day everytime 👍
So I’m enjoying a nice rainy day here. Watching some quality old car content while making a list of all that my truck needs to get back in the road. So close to having my first truck on the road.
That’s awesome
@@Sleeperdude Sauce.
The major weak spot in the front end design of the darts and valiants is the idler arm bushes. Back in my early days of selling car parts I would sell a bushing kit almost every day. All the Valiants I owned had to have the bushes replaced. There used to be a bearing kit to replace the rubber bushes which was a much longer lasting repair.
Ok thank you
Ok thank you
yes indeed always had to replace the idler arm bushings on our Valiant and my 1966 Dodge Dart Gt.
A friend of my dad bought one. On the way home bought a replacement kit before he even got the brand new one home the first time.He had the car for 15-20 years and never had to replace the new kit.Go figure!
It's alive!!! After 30 years of no life. Great job all y'all!!! Love seeing Ralphie drive it. I learned to drive on my Dad's '63 Valiant station wagon, 3 on the tree, 225 leaning Tower of Power!
thats awesome thank you
Your family is amazing and that itself is worth the subscription alone. We appreciate you taking the time in your busy life to fit us in, many thanks from around the world.
Thank you I appreciate it
It's always great watching all of you.👍👍
Thank you so much
Love to see baby goats jump. Great family 😍. What an excellent car. I was raised in an early 70's Pontiac station wagon.
Thank you
When my day is down … watching you ALL perks me up …. 👍
I’m glad you like it thank you
Love watching your videos, reminds me of a time long lost. Really cool how your son is learning so much from dad. Send you lots of prayers success with your channel.
Thank you
NO HAY FIERRO OXIDADO Y OLVIDADO QUE ESTA HERMOSA FAMILIA NO TRAIGA DE NUEVO A LA VIDA👏👏👏👏FELICITACIONES EXELENTE TRABAJO💪👍👍👍👍
Another awesome and wholesome family video sir! The old Dart wagon really came around. I bet she will have some great patina when you get it cleaned up. LOVE the baby goats! Love your wife and kids. You are doing the family thing the right way, spending family time together, having fun and teaching love for animals. You have one of the best channels on U-tube!
Thank you so much really appreciate it
Yea I remember my 71 Granville Pontiac had drums all the way round. Enjoyed the work of restoring the old girl.
Thank you
"Ralphie power" 🤣
Those old 6 banger Chrysler engines were bulletproof. I had one literally! Had a '66 Dart rag top. We were camping and while trying to get back to civilization drove onto some Deliverance type of Hillbilly's property. He came out shotgun blazing. Drove with the accelerator pinned in reverse. One bullet hit the manifold, luckily it didn't penetrate nor crack the structure. Drove that engine for another 200,000 miles 😬
That’s awesome
Thank you for saving so many classics from oblivion! Greetings from Argentina 👍✨
Your welcome thank you for watching
Awesome video! As always!! Love those wagons!!! Not matter Ford, Chevy, Dodge. Any of theme... They have so much character and history behind theme. Real Americana...
I agree thank you
Glad to see your back on the 64 dart wagon. Can’t wait to see it road worthy again. Love your videos
Yes thank you
There is just something about doing drum brakes....packing bearings. I'm only 40. But I've done my fair share. And still love working on this stuff. Probably more than I did when I was a little younger. So glad your passing this on to the next generation.
Yes more people should know how
@@Sleeperdude I agree......
Love your videos. You and your family are a breath of fresh air.
Thank you so much
Man it is always a blessing to to watch you and your family working on stuff special bringing the old cars back to life that's something that the young people need to know about because the knew cars are not going to last like the old cars you can bet that they are not made out of everything like the old ones love the video keep up the good work and I definitely can't wait for the next one
Thank you
Sleeperdude, just love your videos, dude. I think of my childhood when I see 👀 a wagon like this 1964 Dodge Dart Wagon. How we would pile into the back and play around while my parents were driving. We actually had a 1970 Mercury Colony Park Wagon. I drove it in high school.
I also love all those baby goats, they're precious.
Anyway, keep up the great work. Thank you bro. 🐐 👶
Thank you really appreciate it
Veinyas and RC.....the lunch of champions. 😎 I like Armour. There's a brand called Prairie Belt, they don't come in flavors but they'll work in an emergency. The Dodge wagon is coming along great! Awesome job on the brakes👍 I can't wait to see the pressure wash!
Nice, thanks
Another great video. That is a great old wagon! I was non stop grinning when Ralphie was driving, just awesome. The baby goats are adorable! You guys are excellent parents. Thanks for all you do!❤
Thank you
What a wonderful wagon I would daily drive that no trouble at all my favorite video so far you and your family set a fine example for people everywhere.
Thank you
Josh and Family Videos are better than anything on TV. Very enjoyable very relaxing. Thank you God Bless
Thank you I appreciate it
Very very cool. Love the push button trans and the green mold.
Yes couldn’t believe it worked
Awesome Dart wagon 👍😎 Enjoyed watching 🙂
Thank you
Awesome vid! I'm a wagon guy so I loved seeing this one! Dream Weaver? Piano Man? Just guessing at the songs... Also caught the "exit stage left (and right)" exclamations . Old cartoon reference... Snagglepuss! "Heavens to Murgatroyd"! That takes me back!!! Keep up the great family entertainment.
Thank you you are correct
Another great video Josh. Love how Ralphie wasn’t at all scared behind the wheel. You guys were having such fun together. I’ve said it before but Ralphie will treasure these moments wen he’s older. Love the baby goats. One thing you could show Ralphie is to use a flat tyre iron under the hoop to raise it to the right level when he’s putting it on instead of trying to dead lift it ?
Great job guys.
Thank you good idea
I was taught that just rubbing grease all over the outside of new bearings isnt enough. I put a scoop of grease in one hand and then put my point finger through the new bearing and do a scraping method that packs grease into the bearing each time you scrape a little more into the outer groove until it comes out the back of it. Works great !
Yeah your probably right
Vicegrip Garage does something similar with the bearing grease
Yeah there's a special way the grease is supposed to go in and out of a timken bearing or wheel bearing 👁️
Hand packing bearings. It’s really easy just messy. All you’re doing is using your palm to mash a pile of grease into the bearing until it’s packed full.
That is how I do it. Scrap in your palm until the grease comes out the other side, turn, repeat.
Rocky's got it going on!!!!! 5 different babies......"He's been busy!!!!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That’s true
Thank you! I have 2 old vehicles with drum brakes and I’ve been afraid to get into them. This was very helpful!
I’m glad to help
That dart is awesome, true testament that slant sixes run forever, the bonus is the kids like it! That wagon is super rare, please keep it .
Yes the are reliable
Sir I want to say everything I watched You do was done spot on right , BUT you might try getting a couple cans of P-B Blast it makes getting those rusty bolts and tough to get fitting undone a hole lot easier. Good job well done and great vid.
Yes we use a lot of p B blaster around here maybe on the first video of this but we for sure used it thank you
I love seeing the Dart come back to life. My first car in the late 1970's, a 65 Plymouth Valiant 225 with 3 on the tree, took me from the beaches of Baja California to Alaska on the then dirt road of the Alcan highway without a problem I couldn't solve. The motor finally gave up the ghost with 240,000 miles. Great memories.
That’s awesome
Another great video it's good to see how you have so much patience when the animals come in and start getting in your way when you're working. Glad that you don't snub the wagons and you try to save them I always liked station wagons when I was little but my parents never bought one hopefully one day you'll come across a 74 or 75 LTD Country Squire or maybe a Chrysler Town & Country wagon just a thought.
Yes I love the wagons I had an 83 LTD wagon we have videos of it you should check out if you havnt
Glad to see you got it running, driving, and towing a trailer! I can't wait to see it after you clean it up! The baby goats are adorable! Good family fun! Take care.
Thank you yes we gotta get this girl clean
Oh man wagons are still my favorite.
Yes
I never thought this one would have gotten back on the street, well done.
Thank you
Love your videos! Always leave positive comments, do me a favor, and get Ralphee some over alls, and some boots? When he is out in the shop, love you all don't care what you were! But if something ever did happen,as a parent you never forgive yourself!
Thank you 😊
You’ve got to restore this thing completely. Looks great rolling!
That would be cool
Absolutely love your channel old cars Wonderful family who couldn't love this channel 💟💟💟💟💟
Thank you
The knowledge that you give your kids is priceless, not the use it throw it away thinking
As you may know buy now I am a Mopar fan. Love to see those slant sixes go for ever. Would like to see some videos on the Mopar flat head sixes, they are also indestructible. Great show. Bill
Thanks Bill we will see what we can find
Great to see a parent spending time with their child(ren).
Quality time meaning… undivided attention (nearly one on one), talking, learning while having fun, etc.
Thank you I am blessed
Have you ever tried soaking the rusty stuff in a molasses & water mixture? Over at the HAMB site there was a thread on it; the leftover liquid is reportly good on gardens for adding iron to the soil. Molasses as used in animal feed.
Ok good to know we might try that
Good video I drove a sedan with that push button shift when it was fairly new it was a loner why papaw truck was in the shop takes me way back lol thanks for the memories
Your welcome and thank you for watching
20:40 the drum on that was stuck you have to use a flat head screwdriver to spin that star-wheel adjuster closed on the backing plate those two slots at the bottom is where you stick the screwdriver then it will come right off like the passenger side
Ok thank youb
I swear I passed two of these sitting at an shop near Waldo Florida today coming back from some military training. I could be wrong. But I do love these dart wagons
That’s interesting I live in Tennessee
Love watching you guys God bless
Thank you
I just subscribed. Great video. I took my driving test on a '65 Dart sedan. Definitely would like to see this cleaned up and shiny. Great to see family involvement!
Thank you I appreciate it
I love the old station wagons I would like to have one like that to restore. I think it would look good all blue..
Everything looks good all blue
Great job always nice to see the life come back to a car. Really liked seeing your family and Rocky's family included!
Thank you
That’s a sweet ride… Almost ready for a cross country trIp. Think I like it better than the galaxie wagon…
It is cool
Years ago people used these station wagons for everything... Pulling trailers, boats etc... My wife and kids love the goats... :)
Thank you
Great vid! My father in law had a '68 New Yorker with 4 wheel drums and said that he had to adjust the brakes as regular maintenance. So I guess it must be similar to your S/W Dart.... no self adjustment. Just guessing , though.
Great tip!
Except for certain Heavy Duty optional 11 inch drums, these cars all had self adjusting brakes. That doesn't mean someone didn't chuck the self adjusters in the past like happened in some of these in the video.
If you drive the cars too gentle in reverse, the self adjusters may not cinch up. Did you father in law drive super slow?
@@auteurfiddler8706 Yes that is a definite possibility.
29:46 “The Piano Man” I’m really old …Love your family friendly videos !! Great work all !!
Thank you
Very cool
Thank you
I love the dart wagon! My favorite one of all! Great video love to see more of this car.👍👍
Thank you
Yes in Australia that bodyshape was ap5 and ap6 valiant and valiant regal. The ap5 had the push button auto and the ap6 had column shifted auto. Just a bit of useless info for y`all!
Thank you for sharing
You're welcome. Love your channel and content, btw.
Also, here in Australia they stopped using the slant 6 in 1969 in favour of the locally produced hemi 6. Like the u.s. v8s they had a hemispherical combustion chamber and the top dog was the 265 with triple 2 barrel carter carbs, the 6 pack e49 r/t charger engine with 302 hp. The v8s available in Australian built chryslers were the 273, 318, 340 and 360 small blocks.
I have that same Harbor Freight engine hoists so far I have used it twice. Neither time to pick up and engine picked up two world war 2 Transmitters and loaded them in a truck. I remember when I was 8 or 9 years old I was helping my Dad bleed the brakes on our 1950 Oldsmobile Rocket 88 and I'm 71 yrs old now. Some things never change. Looks like Rocky has been busy with all of those babies running around. Thanks for a great video.
Thank you for watching
Absolutely love that Dodge. It amazes me how well it ran after being parked so long. I have a question are you going to take this dodge to the next level and maybe restore it? It's really worth it that's a sharp looking little wagon.
Not sure what are plans will be thank you
We grew up on Vienyas cooked in white rice, it’s awesome. Love the wagon
I will have to try that
I think those springs were an ill attempt to draw heat out the drums
Yeah maybe
Just found this channel. Great to see a regular traditional family having fun, learning stuff and holding traditional family values...so much good, honest fun. Saved my sanity from all the BS these days. Hi from Wales, UK
Awesome glad you found us thanks for watching
i'd love that car! I was into the 60's Mopars! Simple machine! Text me!
You can email me turbojosh91mm @yahoo.com thanks for watching
"Wee will get it cleaned up" Im looking forward to a good pressure washing!! I love wagons!!!!!
Thank you
I would love to have that car, I would restore it
It might be for sale at some point
Glad you got the brakes fixed.
Thanks
I love raggedy repair videos like this. How he put he patch of shag carpet back in its rightful place. Mint 👌🏽
Hey Sleeper dude and dudettes! Happy to see you all again! Love to watch, thanks for the laughter! Great to see the family working together! Love the family values you all show! We all need that! Thanks for the videos! GODS BLESSINGS TO YOU AND THE FAMILY!!🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️🏆🏆🏆
Thank you really appreciate it
Pudding is given Rocky a run for cutest goat, Rocky out in the field being grown lol
Yeah she’s a mess
Hi everyone, man this wagon beats the heck out of the radio flyer Lol!! This is going to be a real rubber neck'n head turner and grin git'r!! . I would've been right at home restoring the brakes. Make sure they are all adjusted & and the car doesn't pull too hard left or right, 'cause on wet roads you will be in trouble if you have to stop fast. Have fun learning and it's great to see the boy figuring all this automotive stuff out. He's going to be a great asset to you and man, there's just way too many kids sitting inside playing video games. That goes for boys and girls! I applaud you for the wisdom of get real, get outside in real sunlight. Safety First, and always.
Thank you I appreciate it
The split personality is alive :) Self, I'm watching sleeper dude and family, do magic...again
I love this wagon. What a great classic wagon. Beach wagons as they were known.
Yes they are very cool
Dude, you're living the dream. Boy, goat, cars... Lucky man!
Other great video! Enjoy all the videos I've watched so far. They keep me coming back. Keep on Motoring brother!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you really appreciate it
Another brilliant production folks, Tosh was funny losing her Red Hot Candy, nice of Josh to retrieve them for her. Loved the ending with Wah Wah's thanks for watching and the "stardust" graphics listing the other channels. The AP5 then AP6 (Australian Production) were the local versions. The young goats were great too. Looking forward to next time.
Thank you I’m glad you liked it
Enjoyed the the video love all the slant six work you do since I have a 73 duster with a slant six paid 500 dollars for it love it God is good thanks for keeping your show clean and not ashamed of your fath God Bless you and the family
That’s cool thank you
