    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 ❤️💯👍

That said not sure how far you are from Kansas, but a RUclipsr, Adventures made from Scratch I am pretty sure he has 2or 3 of these cars. He does sell them to people, as is, and not crazy money. 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.

    I watched the initial video and commented that the engine is a 1954 or newer 235. If the carb is original to the engine, and the fact that the car has an open drive line, my guess would be a 1955 or newer 235. If you post the number stamped to the rear of the distributor, I can decode year and application. The Sister Kathrine paddles are '51-'52 front fender shields. Share the paint code number from the cowl tag...I can tell you how it was painted originally...In 1951 Chevrolet did not offer a light blue; in 1952? Yes! 1951? No! In fact, in 1952, those colors together were a two tone combination. Code 473 was Admiral Blue Metallic [upper], Twilight Blue [lower]. The "U" shaped bracket is to attach the steering column to the bottom of the instrument panel.

    Hi Richard & Christina, greetings from Scotland.
    Great video, and congratulations on your new shop. That is a major step forward in your business plan, and I’m sure it will make for more great videos. Once you get it set up to your personal taste, it will be great.
    Do you intend to install a lift ? Lying on the floor doesn’t do much for the back.
    Whilst it’s great to see the Chevy getting saved and improved, you are correct to be cautious about the costs involved.
    If you can begin the restoration process by getting the shell rebuilt, new glass, seating & making it drivable i think that would set it up for someone else to continue the project. The profits generated could then be deployed into new or existing projects.
    BTW Richard, I agree with Christina…No to a Gasser. It would be an act of sacrilege to change it from the original configuration…in my humble opinion.
    It’s great to see the channel grow and develop, and the shop will enhance the development further.
    All the best
    John

    Now you have plenty of time to think about what you want to do with it now that its home.
    I say bolt it back together, get it drivable, and do a satin clear right over that fire damaged
    rust. It'll look authentic and it will tell a story.

    I think congratulations are in order on your new home and shop. It is perfect for you and a lot better than what you had. Shop size looks great. Do you have a number on this ride ? Where are you located...don’t need address just thinking about how long it would take to get to you. Not sure why you went back to get this one but would like to see it brought back as I said in previous posts, this would be perfect to show what a younger person can do on a restricted budget. Fix it right new patch panels, wiring, suspension, interior. It doesn’t have to be really fast, just sound good. Good luck and stay safe.
