    I never thought it was JUNK. My wife on the other hand would think I’d lost my mind if I ever thought about purchasing a vehicle that looked like that. This vintage beauty needs to be brought back to its former glory. I know Richard said he wasn’t a fan of the continental kit but that just adds to its mystique. Love the new shop, next investment is a lift.👍👍🇨🇦

    Your right those Chevy straight 6’s are great engines. A friend lost his shop to a fire over the summer. He had a 1935 Dodge he was working on. And even though it went through a fire he is going to continue with the project. Name of his Channel is Half Ass Customs. If you want to check him out. Richard you and Christina are one of my favorite people. If you decide to rebuild. It can be done for sure. You guys are the best. The 1951- 1954 Chevy straight 6’s were great. I think you can do a little body work and create an interior. And a new wiring harness and Radiator. You got a Car. Never would attempt to restore. Your haunted 1949 has bad Mojo. This car wants to live again. Love the new shop. Anything makes your wrenching easier. I’m excited as well. Thank you Richard and Christina ❤️💯👍

This car with TLC could be made to be back in its glory.

    No sir, that's what we call a granny box three speed transmission. That transmission came in Chevrolets with the open drive from around 1955 until the mid sixties when they went to the fully synchronized three speed. Of course this car had the same basic transmission it was just a closed driveshaft setup (torque tube). This is going to be interesting what you guys do with this car.

    Now you have plenty of time to think about what you want to do with it now that its home.

    That shop is a big upgrade just as it is and will get better as you finish it out over time. Just as it currently sits you're atleast out of the weather, dry and no wind. Plus having a concrete floor allows it easier and cleaner to roll tools around and a creeper. I'd look into adding an exhuast fan or two to the walls to draw fumes out and just get air movement in the hot weather.

    As you close up that opening, keep in mind, you might want to keep the opening large enough to pull a engine hoist thru. Maybe a sliding down to save space and allow for a wider opening. Or leave it as is and make a sliding door to that size and you can cut a standard inside the sliding door.

    Great video, so happy for you two that you finally have a place to be able to continue to do what you're doing. I love the new digs and it's just what you've been needing. I don't think I could ever have continued my love for bringing back old vehicles without building my pole barn and having some room to work and store my vehicles inside. With such a nice running motor in that car, go ahead and restore it to some degree and make it a driver. I could also live without the continental kit, I'm not a fan and on a fully restored car that would look great, so go ahead and sell it off.

    • @whattherust

    I love the workshop. Glad you now have a space to focus on projects.
    Absolutely clear coat the car as it looks but I would love to see the engine bay all cleaned up painted and shiny.

      I like the idea of cleaning up the engine bay. It would help show off the souped up 235 too. Clear coating the car I what I want to do, but I need to bring Christina around to the idea.
