- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2024
- Part 2 of the VACATION FROM HELL is here, after selling the 1960 Ford Country Sedan, we bought this 1973 Ford Ranchero that has been off the road for nearly a decade. We spend a few days working on it with @OutontheRanchwithDrLee-xb4lo and try to have a real vacation with it in the Gulf of Mexico!

That crappy little Windsor, looks like a genuine 351C to me??
It is I'm dumb
I love the Clevelands!
She’s a Cleveland alright ….
Great motor !!!
Definitely a Cleveland
Now you all know it's a 302...
The best part of watching your epic road trips is seeing how well you and Jess get along! As an old feller who's been married for 41 years, it's nice to see a young couple who seem to genuinely like each other!
❤❤❤❤
As one who lives on Long Island I don’t see the attraction!!🤪
When she is digging in on the car project, they are such a team.
When JD is in the mix seems there is no stopping these guys.
I noticed their great interactions too.
Probably my favorite set of videos you've put out to date. From working on the wagon to getting home in a Ranchero. Absolutely fantastic.
Thanks 👍
Right. What a cool lil vacation
❤❤❤❤
The look on your wife's face when she seen the ocean is priceless a happy wife is a happy life
She reminds me of a younger version of Gweneth Paltrow, the lady who played Pepper Potts in the Iron Man/Avenger movies.
😍😍
I don't know where you found Jess, but i hope you never lose her. Jess you are the best! Great trip, looks like you guys had a blast.
The fact they're two MASSIVE dorks going on an adventure makes this so much better. This is what makes road trips so much fun. :)
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Dr Lee is a absolute gentleman! The wheels look fantastic
How the shit are these comments from 4 days ago when this video was posted about an hour ago >.
@@brucehurlburt7740 become a channel member get content earlier.
@@brucehurlburt7740 probably just released on here 2 hours ago for everyone.
4 days ago it would have been released for Patreon members. Patreon members get access to restricted content and early viewing.
Hope this reply relieves you of all confusion 😂👍🍻🍻🇦🇺
@@brucehurlburt7740 I believe members get the videos earlier.
@@stanley8574 Ah yes I forget that is a thing nowadays. Thanks for the reminder.
Vacation from hell? But just look at the memories you have for a lifetime and all those deals from Summit! Great video. Can't wait to see the Ranchero all dolled up. That bed liner as a vinyl top is an absolute keeper of a hack.
I wish the bed liner was available when I got my first car in 96! 1978 Mercury Monarch with a deleted vinyl top!
I cant believe he doesnt get the family discount
👍👍
Your wife is an angel the way she dives in and helps. What a great attitude she has!
👍👍👍👍
Please tell Dr. Lee how much we like his participation, this was a great collaboration. I truly enjoy watching what people will do to their cars to keep them on the road especially since the invention of the Zip Tie.
❤❤
AND the irreplaceable Self Tappers
DR Lee is a helluva friend! and definitely a port in a storm! Some people make people happy wherever they go, other people make people happy whenever they go!
Good to see Jess made it into the thumbnail,, she is an absolute asset to the channel
I dare say no jess no triple digit channel.
✌✌✌✌✌✌
It took me a minute to realize that you stopped by Matt's Dad's house demo ranch senior. That's awesome he helped out he's a really good guy
With all the RUclipsrs coming outside and saying "damn, it's still there" I'm really ready for the genuine shock of the vehicle actually being gone
Happened to me once. Went out in the morning, vehicle.was gone. I thought holy sh, well some unlucky moron has a surprise coming. Found it maybe an hour later, abandoned in an apartment complex a block down the street. BECAUSE, the clutch and throwout bushing were completely smoked. I knew it, they didnt.
😂😂😂😂😂
@@SpaceInTime1885 Back in the day my first 3 cars were $300 beaters....I made them run reliably, but God were they ugly. Left the keys in them all the time everywhere I went hoping they would disappear...never happened
Like when David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan had the Rotary 455 swapped truck (the Mazdarati) stolen...lmao They kinda built another one...and I say that very loosely.
“Hello, ‘Pimp My Ride?’”
Entrapment 😂
Y'all should head up to the Great Lakes next summer. You'd swear you were back at the ocean and you don't need to worry about salt spray nor any stoopid jellyfish! Great video, thanks for sharing your trip!
I vote for the North Shore (like Duluth MN) its beautiful and definitely won’t be too hot. Plus you could bring any of your current cars and sell them at a premium because every car up here is a rusty mess!
Looks like a lot of fun. Me and my wife love car rides. Going no where. You to are a great pair. Be safe.
Thanks for introducing Dr. Lees channel. I have watched every one of your videos now, junkyard digs, buffs garage, sleeper dude, all the main guys who are just regular guys like me getting some projects going and having fun. Some RUclipsrs use way too many sponsored parts that I could never afford. I like seeing the guys get stuff running on a budget and using what they have available. And by the way, you got a real keeper with Jess there. It’s definitely hard to find a woman into everything you do
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Dr. Lee seems like the genuine article kinda guy...I can see why you like the man; you two seem to have the same sense of humor... thanks for sharing your adventures!
Well he is demo matts dad.
👍👍
Missing the hula girl in the time lapses
more hula girl , she did not freak out once
Username and Profile picture checks out ahaha
Might consider an upgrade to the windshield cleaner.....
👍👍
I grew up in a 351 Cleveland household. Dad drove a 73 Ranchero, mom drove a 73 Gran Torino Sport and we had a pair of 71 Mustangs, a Mach 1 and and a Boss 351. I miss those days.
You're a good man, Dolton, for taking Jess to the beach, and for once you Hawaiian atire didn't look out of place!. Great content 👌
😂😂
I don't know Dr. Lee personally, but he and his ken seem like genuinely good folks!!
They are!
You just can’t beat having people like that that you can call friends.
Well, THAT was a total kick! Enjoyed wrenching wichya, and enjoyed "riding" wichya the rest of the way to the beach and back home! Great, fun video! Love you guys!!! A+++++
Thanks Lee! For everything!!
52:16 got me laugh real hard 😂. I came here for the content, stayed for Daltons humor, then the content 😁. Pls don't ever change. You and your family are a great team 💪
This type of video is why I love your channel. Road trips in exceptionally questionable cars bought on Marketplace that require visiting every AutoZone across America. Shout out to Dr Lee for being such a great human being and I’m glad Mrs Pole Barn got to see the “ocean” haha. You know I hear there’s a remedy for jellyfish stings. It requires multiple Busch Latte’s first though👊
Hang on to that woman with both hands and anything else you can use. She one of a kind most women I know would be complaining every step of the way.i wish you both nothing but the best.😀
Ive said it before i take for granted living within a mile from my house to the wonderful north east coastline and being able to see the sea from my bedroom window! I love going down early morning with a hot coffee and watching the sunrise! Its so idyllic... Jesse's face and the 'i love you' gave me a massive grin!
Yeah, you can have those "wonderful" NE winters, blizzards, etc.
✌✌
@JeffKopis winter can be brutal at times but I wouldn't change it!
AWESOME! Having Dr. Lee as a special guest star was perfect... looked like an amazing trip. Can't wait to see more with the Ranchero...
Jess's excitement on seeing the ocean was infectious. She definitely adds a lot to your show. The wheels are great! Dr. Lee is a real gentleman. Good video you guys.
nice work Dalton and Jess. Watching from Aus.. We can't make it a half mile without getting picked up by the cops.. They have cameras scanning number plates which will notify them instantly of an unregestered vehical.. I am moving Hahaha
This week started off good and then on Tuesday disaster struck as we found out my dad had a bad stroke while sleeping. We rushed him to the hospital and he’s doing really good considering the blood clot went to his brain. Walking and talking by the second day and eating solid food. He remembers all of us and the dog too, but it did affect his mind, he’s a bit scrambled and it hurts to see him messed up like that. He’s not gonna be at my high school graduation in person but my mom’s sister will use FaceTime to let him see it. Which is pretty good. If any of you pray, can you say one for him. I’m gonna try to enjoy this video dalton. I’ve been stressed a lot and this could take my mind off of it
@koolchris291 Gotcha covered. Prayers for you, dad and family! Congrats on graduating high school too.
Mom's sister, you mean AUNT? , BEST wishes to your dad!
Sending you out best thoughts and positive energy. A short prayer also never hurts.
@@scotttait2197 I wanted to specify that it wasn’t his sister,
Sorry to hear about your dad. Stay positive, that he remembers everyone is great and as it's only been a few days he needs time to heal. Healthcare professionals are amazed, on the daily, by the brain's ability to recover from this type of trauma. My father had 2 cerebral aneurysm's rupture, years apart, and it took time for his brain to sort things out and "unscramble".
Dr. Lee wearing the boogie van shirt is awesome!
😁😁😁😁😁😁
Welcome to Texas hospitality, the old Ranchero looks much better, y'all really should get the AC working. It gets hot down here. You'll find many great AM stations on that old radio. WOAI in San Antonio KLBJ in Austin WBAP in Dallas WOW in OKC. You didn't comment on fuel prices or all the annoying golf carts. We do love our Water Burger! Yeah that's what we call them.
Ford had a shifter cable problem back in the eigthies. I worked on all makes and I remember the late 70s cars and trucks popping into reverse while idling. Cure was change the cable.. Place the jack under the lower control arms to check the ball joints. Jacking from the center does not unload the spring pressure. Bee safe you two!!! Love your videos! Dr. Lee is awesome!
I'm glad your wife joined the channel, she's a good sport going along with your madness. And she's funny too
You both look 10 years younger. YES! More of FUN in the bush or the lake or the river , mix it up , use the cars you got to full potential , maybe live in an area with beach/forrest/lake/river/mountain!
A '73 Ranchero with a 302, I'd say you "Done Good" boys and girls. Great little engine. Dalton, as I'm sure you are aware, Jess is a jewel. Not afraid to work, and about as easy going as could possibly be imagined. Only about 3/4 thru the vid, but you guys coupled with Dr. Lee have made it an enjoyable trip. Keep 'em comin Bud!
Thats no 302, hes done better than that.
Watching Dalton going from hating the car to falling in love with it is always entertaining. I have a feeling that the Ranchero is going to be a daily driver for a while
The expression on Jess's face when she saw the ocean was priceless. Great Job.👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
And.. may I add… with upmost fear of upsetting VGG FANS….. POLE BARN IS THE REAL CAR GUYS/GALS GARAGE! No BS!… NO BIGGING IT UP.. NO ‘ I am doing well, LOOK AT ME…. No ‘ I got tv shows….. JUST ‘ PURE, HEARTFELT, HONEST, FUN! . ‘MAGNIFICENT!’ 👏👏👏
Thanks buddy.
As to only offend commies, Independence paved the way
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
How dare people be successful 😂
Dr. Lee is a good dude and Jess is such a trooper here.
I absolutely loved this family. Not having family myself I always feel like I'm apart of this one. Watching you do your work is simply satisfying
Totally agree!
You're totally PBG family now, bud 💜
@@jesswhomakesstuffhe’s in! 🎉🎉❤❤
Great video, that old rancerho did well on that haul!!
Also....The motor is a 351 cleveland 2 barrel(small port cleveland)....Thats why the spark plugs didn't work. Windsors of that era still took the 13/16" plugs and the clevelands took the 5/8" plugs
I came to comment similar. Cleveland engines have the thermostat on the block, while Windsor engines have the thermostat on the intake manifold.
A note for Dalton on thermostats:
The 351 Cleveland uses the same thermostat as the 400 in your Gran Torino. It's a special thermostat similar to the Robertshaw 333, but with a special hat on the bottom that closes off a passage when the thermostat opens. You can get the correct one from TMeyer online. Not having that hat will mess up the cooling. Also, under the thermostat in a 351C is a brass round plate. DO NOT REMOVE IT or your thermostat won't do what you want it to do. The 400 has it built into the block instead.
Dalton , Jess and yourself remind me and of my wife and I . We have the same type of relationship. You guys complement each other so well. She supports your shenanigans and that’s all you can ask for out of life my friend . Great work as always and look forward to the next one !
Dr. Lee is a wonderful guy......someone I'd love to sit and have a beer with after riding a full day on our Adventure bikes...
What an asset Jess is to the channel. And she can put up with you😂. Loved the trip so thanks for taking us along. Excellent vidro
“Just kick that floor mat over the hole in the floor”
She kicks it “ I don’t know what you’re talking about out”
Dalton that girl is a keeper !
Glad you're giving that a new home, it has a good heart.
Damn right it does
Good morning from Cape Cod ⛵ what struck me and warms my heart is when Jess said I love you when she spotted the ocean 🌊. Dr Lee seems like a real cool character, especially having to deal with the likes of you 😉😂 anyway The ranchero seemed to do pretty well, got you all the way home and approved it's worthy of more attention. Keep up the great work and the awesome content guys 👍✌️🇺🇲
Jess looks great with her hair down! Great vid guys!
It's Friday!
I'm off work from my machine shop job and now I can crack open a cold brew and watch you work.
Life's Good!
Awesome video. That Ranchero isn’t half bad 👍🏻 it might be the gulf, yet technically still part of the ocean. I must admit that a Jess being that happy to make a torturous trip, helping along the way, and keeping such a positive attitude is rare. She’s a keeper ❤️
Good stuff Dalton. That Ranchero definitely deserves some love..
Jess is awesome!!! I’m glad she got to see the ocean!!!! Btw I love her laugh too!!!
That little Ranchero has definitely earned a restoration and likely a permanent place in the PBG fleet. What a great car!
Those wheels and tires are really nice looking!! Jess is quite the trooper with all the wonderful shenanigans!!
Awesome adventure! Thanks for taking us all along with you! It was awesome you took Jess to see the ocean! Can’t wait to see what you do to the ranchero, glad you’re gonna keep it
Hey I just started watching your videos and seeing you on junkyard digs..and I really injoy your videos and like that your family helps you with your projects..I am big fan and watching 2 or 3 a day...
Thanks man!
Oh wow. !!! I'll still really miss the wagon, but a ranchero is cool too. Jess, you're the most trusting woman I've ever seen. Granted Dalton would die trying to make sure you got back home. Thanks for taking us along. The grand kids loved the ship and the huge kites. Awesome... Again.
It's easy to trust him :)
@@jesswhomakesstuff Morn Jess. Did you ever get your web site up and running.?? We want to see you're stuff for sale.
Dave
From way down under really enjoyed that VFH content. Glad you decided to keep the Ranchero, it deserves a good home.
“Got to pick up some spare belts” jumps to shot of box filled with belts for the wagon 😂😂😂😂
Right?!?! That was awesome.😅
Part 2 was excellent! The Ranchero is really good. The concourse quality restoration was an additional bonus 👌🏻🤘🏻
So hands down this is some of the best content you put out. The video has great flow. The music combination with the time lapse. It had me enthralled and enjoying the entire video so thank you.
1:09:03 you are in Sherman Texas on US 75
You were at summit Racing in Arlington Texas, I live down the street from there!
1:10:11 crossing the Red River leading into Oklahoma
I really like all of these old early 70''s Fords that you are so drawn to. This Ranchero looks like a really good base for a good restore. Solid body and nice interior. I like the instrument clusters , arrangement in these old Fords. Plenty of opportunity to upgrade with a nice real tach and instrument cluster as well. Lots of area available as well for other upgrades on the dash areas as well. Great choice in tires and rims. A good paint job would not cost too much either. You just have to love all the room that you have in the seat , interior on these. Hmmmm, food for thought. Very good looking car.
Oh YES, it's a sh*tty rainy grey bank holiday here in the UK, and it just got better.
Can't beat a bit of PBG here in Blighty fella.
@@BeachDogs.Jayhall Too right mate!
Damn right
Ever known a Bank Holiday that wasn't ?
@@mrb.5610 It hasn't got any better! 😔
I've been to the beach many many times but sweet Little Jess's excitement is most definitely contagious!!! Thank y'all for sharing this adventure....by the way Dr. Lee freaking Rocks!!!
Also really loved the cowboy music
i am telling one from one car guy to another.. any girl having as much fun as you.. while in a pile of crap that has no business still being called a (car)... shes a blessing from god never let her go
You comment like a widower
I love your adventure videos. That is one nice Ranchero. You two (and JD) are heartwarming people.
Dalton you were bound and determined to get Jess to the Ocean!! That's a damned good man. When a husband is set to do something for his wife there is no stopping him! Good pick up on that Ranchero too. 👍👍
This is better than any realityshow on tv. Still, I can't believe what kind of junk you are allowed to drive. Keep up the good content.
Dr. Lee.....always helping fix the strays! Lol....kidding! Great video! Dr. Lee is a National Treasure!
👍👍👍👍
Say what you will about Ford and hard to get parts for, those 351's and 302's were damn near bullet proof. Dalton you best keep Jess around, yall go together like peas n carrots. Great chemistry and sense of humor on the both of ya. Great video! Oh and Dr. Lee, man what a stand up guy.
Might’ve been a rough trip, but you did amazing Dalton, loved seeing Jess have a great time too! I loved your build and road trip plan, I know it was rough, but that wagon was rad. Keep up the amazing work, love your content, and I’m excited to see more!
love the travel and experiences with a vehicle. also dumping the wagon and picking up a reliable ranchero..... priceless
For your warped carburetor, there's always the good old method of hillbilly machining. For hillbilly machining you would take a mostly flat workbench and glue a piece of sandpaper to the top of it, then you can rub carburetors/accelerator pumps/anything else that you need to be flat and isn't needing to be within stupidly tight tolerances. It'll sand things and get it a heck of a lot closer to what you need it to be.
Pane of glass has never failed me
Fun fact! Back in 1988 Brake rotors for a 1973 Mach1 were almost $400 a piece, because it was one piece with the hubs! I went to a junk yard, and picked up 2 1973 Ranchero hubs, new bearings and races to convert them, and picked up rotors for $50. With new brake pads, it cost me $200! Surprisingly, the calipers and hoses were in great shape!
👍👍
Oh yeah PBG!!!!👍👍
Happy memorial day to all the heroes who gave the ultimate sacrifice!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Took my wife to the Lexington last year, we loved it as well…..I still own a home off of Joe Pool Lake near that Summit in Arlington off of I20 and 360
A great video as usual full of fab content but the best bit? After seeing the ocean for the first time, seeing Jess on the beach playing with that kite…brought a tear to my eye! Love you guys…
Yeah, the Ford 70s columshifts falling in to reverse by themselves are well known. A working parkingbrake is a must-have
You might recall the recall, which was just a warning sticker you put on the dash or wherever.
The Ranchero is a keeper!!! Show her some love for getting you two home safely!!
Thanks for sharing Jess and Dalton! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙋🏼✌🏻✌🏻
Hey Dalton...I just wanted to say that this trip was thee best content brutha...seeing the look on Jessica's face when she saw the ocean really did it for me....and her conformation with "I love you" hit me in the heart...this was definitely one of my favorite "Pole Barn Garage" episodes!
Thanks for taking us along this awesome adventure....God bless you both always!
P.S
Dr. Lee is kickass! 👍🏾
Thanks brother!
Dr lee was one great texan for helping you guys fix the ford long live the Ranchero lol 😂
I loved your Ranchero, I bought one new in 1977 a Ranchero G T it had 400 in it. Your Ranchero looks like a 351 M in it
Jess's excitement at being at the beach 🏖️ gotta love it
18:45 I see Mr. Murphy himself of Murphy's Law told you two right where to sit and stand for that compressed air-assisted demonstration of debris displacement
Ranchero 500 with a top-of-the-line who the hell would put a vinyl top on ranchero self-healing ranchero
Someone like ME! I don't have time for the body work of a roof.....AND I WANNA DO SOMETHING UNIQUE WITH A FORD RANCHERO 500 WITH THUNDERBIRD DOG DISH CAPS!!!!
Hello Dalton, JD, and Jess. Thanks for sharing yet again another fine video!
That was a great vid thanks, I like these longer travel ones and even though I live in little old New Zealand I get to see some of the USA without leaving my house. The car community over your side are a great bunch of people. Thanks once again to you both.
I really like this "cruck". Great vid Dalton and Jess.
Love to see a restoration on the Ranchero. This was the best episode ever but I have said it before about PBG. Jess is so much fun with her comments on your vehicles like maybe this one needs dynamite or when entering Summit Racing saying the Mother Land. It was great to see Jess be like a little girl at the beach and so enjoy her self. You are so humorous yourself and it just makes this Channel great.
Hit it with a little more compressed air I watched that part 5 times. Had tears by the time I stopped. F- ing awesome, keep up the work guys! 😂😂😂😂. Great show.
Brilliant video Dolton you and jess looked like you had s blast keep the good content coming and make the rancho new again it's a good old bus
Great video. Like the cross country adventure and the collab with Dr Lee. He is such a great guy to let you invade his shop and he helped out. Now you know why Demo Matt is so liked. Good upbringing.
I never thought about not ever seeing the ocean growing up in Rhode Island, I'm so glad you got to see the ocean for the first time.
Technically not the ocean, but yeah living on the coast you take it for granted.
You're a good man Dalton, no matter the cost, you treated you good lady right, shes worth it!!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I hope you two never change like so many channels have. Your dry humor, your attitude towards the cars and challenges they give you is wonderful.
Great job to the rancharo, it almost didn't make enough content for your part 2. Can't wait to see the next chapter for the little king rancharo!
