  • ‪@MerlinsOldSchoolGarage‬ and his buddy Makay take his 1946 flat bed to pick up a 5.9 Cummins engine (and find out there was a bonus transmission too!!)...Then it's off to see Scott at @lowdownchopshop_kustom to trade a Model T Turtle bed for a pickup bed along with checking out the project Scott has brought back to life that his father started originally after the Vietnam War. Next, come along with Merlin and Makay to @travisjaracz2075 junk yard to pull a Chevy engine and transmission...and who knows what else they may find!

    split bumper Stingray is my favorite old school Vette. Growing up one of my dads friends had a dark blue and a black one.
    those two cars were awesome. he sold both in 2010 and bought a brand new Vette in 2010. and ended up dying few years ago, sadly.

    Always some cool thing that you get yourself involved in. I love the fact that you put everything on boards and pallet boards and fire stuff up. Also kind of funny to hear the birds in the background I think that’s cool but you know you gotta take this knowledge that you haven’t got a spread it around to somebody younger otherwise it will be lost forever. Love your love years your videos keep up the good work.
