It's a sling blade,it was used to cut grass and bushes like on side of the road or yard
Some calls it a kaiser blade
I actually still have one of those. Many older people will remember seeing them being used by the prisoners in the old chain gangs cleaning the sides of roads (thankfully, I never got put into one of those. My family would have killed me!)
Grass whip
yep grass whip / weed cutter , weed cutter, I have one
Now I feel silly for not knowing what that is! I am used to using a sickle for that type of work.
Love to see Christina digging in. Het enthousiasme is great. Nice video of the contence of the car. Lovin it
Hahaha haha, the cleanout was like storage bid wars tv show
It's a blessing to have a wife that is helpful as yours never take for granted what God has bless you with
So true Wayne. I am thankful each day.
Jonathan and I are really enjoying you two discover treasures in the Chevy Shed! My favorite is when you found weapons! ⛏️ Jonathan likes when the film is sped up. Could you add The Benny Hill theme for that? 🤣🤣
I was worried that something would pop out and smack you in the face !😳
You two are so brave!
Great video, nice seeing both of you in front of the camera working on this project together.❤
Thanks John! We both enjoy doing it.

Thanks for the support!
@@whattherust our pleasure brother we both watch you both and have a good time lol
i love that car it looks to be in real good shape the body is a work of art to me thank you for showing us
Thanks Ricky. I look forward to the interior makeover video. I think you will like it.
They've never had a fail; I learn from every video as i'm sure many others do. Very entertainimg and informative.
Thanks Leon. We appreciate the support.
The silver pipe looks like a motorcycle exhaust/muffler. And the tool is a sling blade/weed whacker. You swing it from side to side and cut tall weeds with it. Wow! That car was really filthy. Good job getting her cleaned up guys! 👍😎
Enjoy watching your videos, you two are the best! Christina, I know we’re all anxious to see the interior renovation you got planned. All the best to you both!
Thanks Rich. I am interested to see the interior myself.
I really like your videos, especially the 70 Chevelle.. thanks for the great entertainment! Chris
You're welcome Chris. More video coming.
I love the clean up part😊when I get a used car I look forward to cleaning
Lots of treasures to be found in these old cars.
One more cool old car. I was born in 1954. That’s my dream car. Thanks from. Sc
Thanks Allen. We still have this car and were working on it today. It will be in another video soon.
That yard tool you just found is a antique for cleaning the grass out of the dirt something like a rake
The chrome is so oxidized, but the elbow grease really made it shine and the actual cleaning compound really brought it up!
Weed whacker/lively Ladd weed cutter.
Great looking car!
I love them old Chevys I got a 1950 four-door that I fixed up years ago still got it still driving it. I put a 283 V8 in it and a 4-speed put a different rear end under it that car is a lot of fun.
That car sounds fantastic. I like four doors with 4 speeds a lot. They are unique. Send me a picture if you can.
Good morning! Those rusty tools and hubcaps can be submerged in white vinegar for a few hours or maybe even a few days. It’s amazing to see all the rust that comes off and floats to the top.
Hey David! I'll try the vinegar.
Its 5am . I'm up going to a savage yard to pull a front differential out of a jeep for a friend. He's going with so he can get muddy and greasy also lol . Great videos . Keep up the good work. Nothing like getting a old car running that's been left for dead. It's a skill. That is for sure.
Hey Patrick. Not man things I would get up at 5 AM for, but going to a salvage yard is one of them!
The crome tube is a motorcycle muffler,and that hammer is a ball peen hammer
Wow absolutely amazing looking forward to the 400 Makeover for sure!
Thanks! I am as well!
Back when I was a kid we used that to cut high brush, I don't know how to spell it but we called it a Livaled.
awesome video guys you got some good bits she is a beauty cannot wait to hear it roar into life
Thanks Paul as always!
Lovely lid
I love your place! I like lots of trees. It’s much nicer to work on stuff in the shade.😊
Thank you. It sure is.
Watching this cleanup video brings back memories when I was a kid. Dad would drive his old cars till they would not go anymore and park them out back. They would become a storage area for miscellaneous trash and also his tools that he could not remember were he stored them. We went thru the same process cleaning them out to sell when passed away. Christina quite a trooper getting right in there not afraid getting dirty. I am so happy I found you guys and look forward to your weekly shows being retired to pass time. Thank you and excited to see what you will do on 400.00 budgeted interior!
Thanks for the support Lynn. Glad we were able to bring back some good memories.
Rust is not bad at all that can be fixed easy. Love to have that car.
Great cleanup and a fun watch - thanks for sharing
You're welcome Lance. Glad you liked it.
Love seeing the stuff people leave in old cars, great video guys!
Me too. It is always an interesting treasure hunt.
treasure hunting , always exciting 🙂👍
Great filming you two ! Can't wait for the interior episode, often the case , always looks worse than it is , I would just repair it and run it , thanks for sharing, great fun !
That is it exactly Steve. We will make it roadworthy, use it a bit, and sell it to someone who will do more with it. Thanks for the support.
Wow the car was full of stuff I bet the suspension raised a few inches. The dash came up so well, I can imagine getting in the car brand new and seeing the chrome reflections.
Right, it must have looked amazing when new. It wasn't too many years later that such a large amount of chrome disappeared from dashboards, It is a shame. Chromed plastic just isn't the same.
watching here Philippines
That came out of A 1972 Chevy nove the back runner board panel. That covers the speakers up with. That garden tool is called A sling sickle for corn fields.& Bean feilds.&etc. Like cutting down sawblade grass with to.
It sounds like what a sickle would be used for. Thanks for the info!
Great job I love classic cars I actually have a bel air 57 now good luck guys very nice 52 Chevy and nice patina
Thanks for the comment Eladio. I need to figure out how to preserve that patina.
@@whattherust I saw here in Miami that they use fine sand paper and then they apply some layers of clear coat, to preserve the patina. Take care guys.
When you finally powerwash that back window. There is something beautiful anout that. Great video. Great content. I think Richard was praying for a rare coin or jewellery under the seats 😊
Thanks Gavin. Yes, I was hoping for some treasure to be found, but no luck! The 4 speed transmission is not bad though.
Liked your videos so much I subscribed. Haven’t been disappointed yet. Kind of like cleaning out old cars myself. You two are the best.
Thanks Steve! Appreciate the kind comment 🙏
Awesome video it was a amazing first clean up I can’t wait to see what you do to the interior
Thanks! It was fun discovering everything in there.
That’s a bit & brace hand drill,you can still get the bits for it;It is used for precision wood works.The Chevy cleaned up,looking forward to the “WILL IT RUN”Thank You Richard, and Christina for another great video! Take Care, Your Oregon Friend ☮️
That's an old grass chopper, from when we used to mow the lawn with more primitive machines.
The Saginaw 4 speed great find. I've had them. But for the quarter mile Saginaw 3 speed behind a small block work best for me. Definitely a market for that 4 speed. Glad the two of you are enjoying the videos
Hi you 2 really enjoying these set of videos so glad it ran and can't wait to see the £400 interior. Cheers 🥂
I want to see that too! I am sure it will be awesome.
Everything but a ouja board! Love your show!
Right Greg. It would be creepy to find a ouja board, but also cool! Thansk for the support!
Good video, can't wait to see the interior when it's done.
Thanks for the support Jason.
Really enjoyed the video! Crazy what gets stuffed into old cars!
Glad you liked it!
Awesome video can’t wait to see more on this car.
Thanks! Coming soon!
I had no doubt you were a warrior Christina. Your just lovely and Richard ( I’m sure he knows ) is a lucky fella to have a gal that isn’t afraid to dig into his ( and her ) passion. 👍🇨🇦
Thanks Dan! I am a lucky man.
Another great video enjoyed it and of course I'd love to 51 and 52 Chevys
Thanks very much.
That is a weed whacker. It is used when you have a lot of weeds in your backyard or front yard or even ditches. I have a collection of them
Love and time makes something nice
So true.
Hey Richard and Christina great job cleaning up the old girl! I see you have a inspector cat like I have, my keeps me straight all the time.😄
I have one of those Tortoiseshell inspector cats as well. She is quite the character.
Yes, she is great. Always curious and investigating1
Christine - No matter how rusty the tool, it's still a good find! :)
Ah, the joy of the hunt... Gr8 fun.
Exactly!
hi you'al that small hammer is called a ballpinn hammer, primarily for mechanic and metal working and the d looking thing with the handle is a weed wacker. enyoy your show and watching you guy's in action.I,m Michael from Smithville Tennessee!
Thanks Michael. You are not so far away, so perhaps we will meet at a show!
Looks like the car was treated as a 4 wheel storage shed! Lots of good stuff in there. I like to take a tape measure and go from the road to bottom of bumper. After I removed all of the junk,I take another measurement! Hope that you can get the car running.
Thanks Randy. I think the rear raised at least 2 inches.
Excellent video Christine :) & Richard :) also that old car Christine bought going look nice and would get pretty up too all can too!
It is a sling blade used before string trimmer or weed eater came out. Caused lots of blisters on your hands..
Looking forward to seeing what she can do on that interior. 😀
Thanks Jeff! I think you'll be surprised!
Those other tools are called shers.&loppers for 🎄 tree trimming.& Hedge trimming with to. Those all three are name brand hand yard & gardening tools.& Tree trimming.& Bush& hedge trimming tools.
Great video guys your one of my favourites along with puddin fab shop and coldwar motors cheers from the UK 🇬🇧
Thanks for the support John!
Good work :) dirty work. Nice effort 👍
Great video guys 👍🇺🇸
Thanks Hubert!
Wow incredible hope to see that car going down the road soon good job cleaning you needed a dumpster
Thanks Robert!
I see an old Arvin heater(?) just under the dash. Arvin was one of two fortune 500 companies founded and based in the small town of Columbus Indiana. The other is Cummins Diesel Engine Company. Arvin was bought by Meritor and left Columbus for the most part. They made the first catalytic converter and a little of everything else. I love your videos.
That is great info! Yes, it is an Arvin. I have not tried it yet, but it might work. It isn't leaking. Thank you for the support!
Hello Richard,
Very cool video on the old Chevy. Great stuff.
Be well
Thank you Kevin!
Thanks for the tip on the turbo wipes. Just ordered some. You guys should get a sponsorship from them.❤
Right, we should! You will like them for sure.
good video I always check old cars that are used as storage. I find vintage stuff from them. good for resale
It is always fun searching through these 4 wheeled sheds. I have found some really good stuff inside them, especially tools.
I like it back when in the way it’s divided up
Some folks call it a Kaiser blade, some call it a Sling blade. I call it a sling blade, MmHmm.
OMG! Love this. Good job to you both. Lol
Thanks Anna!
That tool that you had your hand to use that through the woods making paths or anything like that because weeds stuff like that down it works real good really really does he swing it sideways
The "drain holes" found in footwells & trunk pans are actually to locate them on jigs/dies when the shells are being built.
I did not know that. That is interesting! Thanks for sharing the info.
silver pipe is a Harley exhaust--one side off of some Evolution powered big twin bagger.
Its a garden tool called a sickle used for chopping down weeds
Great job on the cleanup. Some of that stuff looked nasty. Really makes me miss my 52
Thanks Paul. It was nasty, but it was way better than the Chevelle in Illinois. Now that one was horrible inside.
That transmission is a Saginaw 4 Speed Transmission.. I am very familiar because I was born and still live in Saginaw, MI. + I Googled the numbers.
The front seat is from a 1977 or 1978 Cadillac DeVille... with the d'Elegance interior.
Wow, that is impressive knowledge of those Cadillacs! Thanks for the info!
Nice job.
Could not believe she did not put up her hair digging in all that crud!
Funny they spent time polishing the chrome and you can fall through the floors! Surprised the body does not separate from the frame with little flooring to hold it.
That bug light probably just needs new bulbs. They sell them at Lowe's or Home Depot.
That was a big clean up it something what you will find when clean out a old car I tell you I found some stuff as well.
It is fun what can be found in these old cars.
If you drop the door handle out of the door, there is a four digit code on the plunger with which you can easily have another key cut....if the car is still original, the key will also be correct for the ignition, glove box and trunk. The "odd" hammer is called a ball-peen.
Thanks for the info on the door lock. I will do that. the hammer is not a usual ball peen. IT has a very odd design that must have been purpose built for something.
The first tool you pulled out, after the type writer, was a sling-blade
The unknown yard tool is a grass sickle.
Wow...that car was full of junk...great job in cleaning it up. Good thing you had a positive attitude as it could be depressing in sorting out that stuff. 🙂
So true! It is going to take me hours to sort through it all and decide what to keep.
Greetings from Scotland. Great video guys, and what a difference a bit of effort and elbow grease makes. I always think that it’s a better experience working on a car that at least partially clean, and that goes for under the hood also. I don’t mean polish everything but just blow off the dirt and cobwebs… let the dog see the rabbit, so to speak.
Anyway another interesting video, and Cristina got in amongst it also. Looking forward to the next will it run.
In the meantime cheers & take care.
Thank you John. The next will it run will be quite a different car.
wow, what a junkyard... the only valuable things I ever found in a car I bought were the (deceased) previous owners drivers license and the expired car's papers... the license was printed on cotton, from '56 (which is why we germans refer to "Lappen", rag, when talking about a drivers' license), and the papers was the one going with the car. it was all-green and those weren't given out since early 80's... (the actual title isn't supposed to stay stored in the car, because you can easily re-register if you steal it, and the actual owner would have a blast trying to prove who owns the vehicle) since I didn't know much more about the car I made sure these items went with it when I sold it years later.
I used to collect hubcaps myself when I was a kid. for a while I could find them big steel mercedes hubcaps left and right. it was the time when the clamps in the back would break off from rust, and once the cap was down to three clamps left, it would eventually fall off... XD thet chevrolet hubcap is good to go to the wall. judging from the ripping and gaps it would fall off the wheel soon, anyway.
considering how many parts you found going to the grand prix, maybe you should go back and buy that car, too. :) you already have half of it, anyway. ;)
I recognize that red, white and blue thing as an 8-track from decades ago! The plug has both hot signal leads and the 12v positive lead for power. The body was used as the ground for both in many cases.
Thanks Richard. How did this plug into a radio?
@@whattherust, It didn't. It had it's own speakers or else there was a switch mounted that allowed the radio and the tape deck to use the same speakers but never at the same time.
@@richardcline1337 OK, got it. Thanks!
Awesome!!!! 😎
Thanks!
you need that sling blade to cut grass around some of the cars you show
