The whole basis of Mortske's Repair is to bring the dead and abandoned cars back to life.... Not every car is going to be perfect which is going to test this man's automotive acumen.......
Awesome video as usual Mort. I was busy building moms house and didn’t get around to watching the video first thing when it came out. Hopefully you have power back by now. Stay warm brother….
Love watching someone who actually knows what they are doing.......I wanna learn how to fix my own cars but hopefully it's not to late for me as I'm not getting any younger
The very first car I bought was a ‘62 coupe. I bought it when I was 14 for $75. I got it running good and took it to Earl Scheib for a $29.95 paint job. Emerald green! It came back lime green. Sold it for $250!!
I remember seeing those commercials on tv back in the day and if you ever watch American restoration he had one of those big metal signs hanging on his shops exterior wall outside I remember seeing .
Those storms that start out as rain and end in snow are the worst! So much damage. Being without power for more than a few hours is a real pain too! It would be cool to see that powertrain in a project for sure. I guess time will tell. Thanks for making the video! Stay warm.
Great that you took the time to show what a winter storm could and can do to make life miserable in winter anywhere or even in Summer with a lot of damage in a state like Florida. Glad old Cadillac runs good, you never give up when you start out to do something. A+++++ videos.
What makes this channel so great is that Morske hasn’t gotten lazy on the videos even after he has made it big. That’s why this is my favorite, keep up the good work.
Hey man good to see you this morning mortsky Back in the 60’s and before people stored their clothes in the attic and the moth’s would eat holes in their clothes depending on were a person lived I was born in 60’ and remember that smell well
Son of a biscuit..! My favorite RUclipsr & I need to wait till I get off work this afternoon to watch the video. I love those 1959-60 GM flattops. Cheers from California.
Great channel! Look forward to Monday for the content! My 12 and 16 hour days are over, look forward to watching you young guys making something of yourselves. Keep up the good work!!!
Your not going to hurt the generator under a load for extended periods, but you will consume a lot more fuel. Most generators have a breaker you need to reset if you draw too much current anyway. Thanks for the Vid Brother, enjoyed it and that motor does sound good!
Great video as always. Personally, I like the '60 tailfins better than the '59. A definite shame about the extensive rust. Thanks for showing the ice storm damage. Most folks have not experienced this type of challenge of being in a rural area. Hope your power gets "restored" soon so you can get more restorations going. Farewell and stay warm this winter.
Nice work dealing with the weather that you were handed! It's tough living out in the country when power goes out. The Wes comment had me rolling but I'm just glad both of you are safe.
You visited Watch Wes Work a while ago, prior to taking off for Kain-tuck-y (according to Wes). That's why I'm here. I'm glad I came. I'm 62 and like seeing the old cars worked on. I like dogs, so thanks for including yours in your video. p.s. I had a 1966 Buick Skylark when I was a kid so it was nice seeing the Buick in the WWW video - nice burnout!)
Hats off to you for continuing production with no utility power! Another great video! All 60 Caddys were hardtops but there was a 6 window sedan that had a curved top like the coupes. The trans is a 4 speed hydra-matic. Don't remember which one
Thumbs up for Mortske and Duff..........Hit that button they kept going in a crappy ice storm for us......Thanks Mortske!!!!!! Appreciate it hope the power is back for you all!!!!
Cool old Caddy! I remember back in the late '70s one of my favorite pastimes was walking through old auto salvage yards, and I found a '61Coupe DeVille that was that same color (they called it Fontana Rose that year). It was in great condition (of course, it wasn't that old back then!), just needed a radiator and alternator (first year) to be complete. The guy running the yard wanted $150 for the car as it sat. Alas, I was a broke college student then, and the next time I visited the salvage yard, the car had been crushed...
You and Duff riding in the golf cart , reminds me of mower man at the old shop. Living in the south we hardly get snow but always just enough ice to snap all the power lines. Good times.
Gotta find fender skirts for that Caddy. Given the low milage, the Hydramatic should run out as good as the engine. The body, except for the floors, looks pretty good. More work would be worth it.
I was actually really diggin' the limited lighting at the end of this video! Having only the lights over the bench and under the hood gives that huge shop the small home shop look! Kinda reminds me of wrenching on my own shitbox in the shop at the dealership after everybody else went home...a short 30 years ago! Also, you should remind your BFF Joe that you sold that Lemans in every new video...for at least the next couple months. Lmao
Oh dang! You called out Wes for his little shop accident. You owe him some fudge stripe cookies for that one. I love that you, Puddin', and Wes all throw light-hearted knocks at each other into your videos. Cracks me up.
I was not aware that options like cruise and power seats went back that far, although I was born in ‘70, my knowledge on certain things is hit and miss. Back in the day that was a nice car, I even like the original color. Those repairs under the car though, wow, quality with a capital “K”, lol 😂
Yup, you always know when you see a previous "master" mechanic's custom exhaust work, like that, your best friend is gonna be a reciprocating saw or cutting torch. Best to just cut all of it off and start over.....Cause, there is no way you can match or compete with their next level work and creativity. That classic has multiple examples of a True Master of Advanced-Monkey Engineering. Best to cut it all off, so you won't look bad next to their work? Not to mention the high quality of the previous electrical wiring modifications and custom metal fabricated tow hitch assembly. Haha! My brain lacks the proper words to describe what you showed us....
Nothing like a 1959 GM behemoth. Looking forward to an update on this one. Nothing like Duff Dog's endless enthusiasm to keep things going. He duh man!
I hope you're restoring this , its a fairly well optioned car , power options indicates a deville , cruise control , power door locks is an added bonus , persian sand with a white top even better , this car is definitely worth restoring .
Hey Mortske 👋, great video on the 60 cad. Good little storm there in your area. Keep warm and safe. At least you can keep your cold snacks 🥶. Have a great week 👋
We had a ton of Cadillacs from 1957 to 1975. I loved the 390/429/472 powered Caddy. The 75 had a 500 and it ran decent for a low compression engine. I have a Honda 6500 watt generator that I converted to propane for cheap money and use it for water and heat. I also have a Honda 2200 watt that I use for the tv/internet and refrigerator.
Great video! It is so nice of sir Duff to allow Poppy and Mr. Mortske to have a cameo appearance, at first I thought Duff was on vacation and hired a stunt double. Lol Take care, be safe.
That carburetor really threw you a loop think unless you got it working. It sounded pretty darn Good Hope you get it running around the yard. Keep Duff warm please!
Hey Mortske, we all Know it’s getting colder, and it is hoodie season. Pull your hoodie strings out your hoodie, we all been there trying to start a rig up with a fan turning. Hoodie strings and fans turning ain’t no joke. Fans can pull your face off, make your head disappear. Take your hoodie strings out your hoodie. You know you leaning over a fan blade all the time. Don’t be that guy that gets wasted. Love the content. Be safe.
Snowing as I type this in Oklahoma. Should probably tell Puddin' to be careful hopping out of those mini pickup beds. DEFINITELY too cold for pressure washing!
In 1974 I was a senior in high school and was taking an auto mechanics class, so I bought a black '60 Caddy from the junkyard. I ended up taking it partway apart then sending it back to the junkyard. It had a 4 speed automatic, dual exhaust with mufflers and resonators, a longer than normal battery, This was the first year for the spin on oil filter and the last year for dual exhaust. Mine did not have AC like this one, but it did have the Perfect Circle cruise control. I took that unit out and opened it up to see what was inside. When I go to a car show and see a '60 Caddy, the first thing I look for is the cruise control knob, and I rarely see it. The headlight dimmer in the '59 Caddy was the Autronic Eye, and in '60 It was smaller and was called Guidematic.
Well currently it is snowing up north here in Wyoming where I am at. Sitting in my shed with a fine cigar watching Lord Duff and his sidekick. Good Monday.
Thanks for showing us the cold countryside . Way different than what we’re used to in Southern CA. Sorry about the Power poles down, such an inconvenience for you all
Thanks for the video under adverse conditions. We get those ice storms here in NC, but not often, about every twenty years. I hope someone sends you a Duff sign. I’d vote for him.
Old Duff really loves those luxury cars, good luck on the power and cold weather situation, at least you can still get fuel for the generator. I was looking at a dual fuel conversion for my generator so I had an option for propane, power has been pretty stable in our area for the past 10 years, we have gone as long as two weeks after an ice storm some years back. My parents were from south east corner of South Dakota(Alcester), they sold their farm in the mid 50's to move to the PNW. The plan was to get away from the weather after the neighboring farms barn was picked up by a tornado and dropped into one of their fields.
Man, I dont know how y'all take that cold weather up there. I live in the South, down here a light dusting of snow shuts down the entire state. I like your videos, these old cars are disappearing before our eyes, good to see them get a last chance at survival, even for a short while.
You are a dedicated host. Love the vid. Been a while since we've seen some flame. Hope you and Duff dont go too long without power. Thanks for being on the Tube
Loved seeing the Caddy hopefully more like it to follow. At the start I glanced away and when I looked back there's a cute pup and it's not Duff, did a second take, no worries, Duff soon appeared
That wrap on the exhaust was muffler tape that came with wire to wrap it tight. I remember auto zone used to sell it. I tried to use it in high school but never could get it tight enough.
I think this was a great video of a resurrection. So its got some rust. SO its got some wiring problems. So its got some rear suspension problems. A lot of us in our time have drug in equal to or worse than what Mort brings in. Its fascinating watching him trouble shoot and develop a running vehicle. What's not to like.
Duff is awesome for keeping us humans sane. Theres nothing worse than getting an ice storm that weighs down power lines and tree branches,lots of snap crackle and popping. It’s easier getting a foot of snow than ice frankly. If you switch out the old fluorescent shop lights to the newer LED type that cuts down considerably on your draw from the generator.Same goes for any interior lights you may be using in the house,LED light bulbs cut down on what the generator has to put out.Hope you and Pookie get those utility poles replaced,that’s a lot of busted poles there. Enjoyed watching and look forward to the next one,thanks.
There are sites where you can go and bid on Military Surplus, they have 30k diesel generators that you can get pretty cheap that should run that place pretty easily.
You should of left it at the junk yard if all you can do is nit pick it every car or truck you get because your so perfect
Lol, some people don't get it or WANT to be pinned to the top of comments.

Definitely
Oh you know it!!

Oh the guy with the beard he's alright to.
Agreed!
Awesome video as usual Mort. I was busy building moms house and didn’t get around to watching the video first thing when it came out. Hopefully you have power back by now. Stay warm brother….
This car is really, unique, you can work under the dashboard, while standing up. Brilliant engineering, putting that access panel in the floorboard.
Nothing but the finest from Cadillac!
I think the caddy would be worth putting floor pans and a trunk pan in it. The rest of the body looks pretty solid.
Atta Boy Mortske......Just when I think you failed us(BUICK MO. HOME)......YOU GO AND TOTTALY REDEEM YOURSELF!!!!!!!!! Nice Caddy!!!!
Thank You So Much for doing your due diligence saving the old iron, you're a gentleman and a scholar. Duff deserves a cost of living raise
Thanks much
How much more does Duff need?
@@dans_Learning_Curve at least a couple of milk Bones and maybe some bacon strips.
Love watching someone who actually knows what they are doing.......I wanna learn how to fix my own cars but hopefully it's not to late for me as I'm not getting any younger
Do you have any classic cars?
Look into community education classes or a local tech school. Good luck
@@dans_Learning_Curve I don't have classic cars but would still love to learn
@@ireneswarthout1588 nothing like jumping in. Do you do your own oil changes? What are you driving now?

Dang when I first saw this I thought Duff got a makeover!

I worked for Earl Scheib in his home when he was very old . He died at the horse race track. He loved the ponies .
I remember seeing those commercials on tv back in the day and if you ever watch American restoration he had one of those big metal signs hanging on his shops exterior wall outside I remember seeing .
Very nice color choice. I love Emerald green. I always wanted a late 60s Buick Electra 225 in Emerald green with white interior.
1959 is my favorite Caddy design. But any Caddy is a great find. Great work as usual sir. Stay safe and warm. 😄
Thanks Aaron!
Thank God it's Monday at last,hey I need my Duff fix
Those storms that start out as rain and end in snow are the worst! So much damage. Being without power for more than a few hours is a real pain too! It would be cool to see that powertrain in a project for sure. I guess time will tell. Thanks for making the video! Stay warm.
Kudos for doing this during a power outage Mortske!
Oh hell yeah!!! It's another MULLET MORTSKE MONDAY!!!
Wow. When I was very young, we had a 61 Sedan De Ville. A "flat roof" like this 60. Best rear window ever! Man, what a ride.
Great that you took the time to show what a winter storm could and can do to make life miserable in winter anywhere or even in Summer with a lot of damage in a state like Florida. Glad old Cadillac runs good, you never give up when you start out to do something. A+++++ videos.

Getting a Cadillac ad in the middle of this video was entertaining!
It wouldn’t be Mortske Monday without some flame thrower action 👍.Say hello to Duffers
That was fun riding in the side by side, I like to see the area, it is so different from here. So much wide open space there.
Good morning from Fort Worth.
You’re heartier than I. This town shuts down for a little ice. God be with you Mortske. It’s only Nov.
That engine did indeed sound pretty strong. I would sure like to get my claws on it but my wrenching days are pretty much over. Love your channel.

Won't stop him
I love how you consider that a high price. That’s a steal where I live.
In 1974 I was a senior in high school and was taking an auto mechanics class, so I bought a black '60 Caddy from the junkyard. I ended up taking it partway apart then sending it back to the junkyard. It had a 4 speed automatic, dual exhaust with mufflers and resonators, a longer than normal battery, This was the first year for the spin on oil filter and the last year for dual exhaust. Mine did not have AC like this one, but it did have the Perfect Circle cruise control. I took that unit out and opened it up to see what was inside. When I go to a car show and see a '60 Caddy, the first thing I look for is the cruise control knob, and I rarely see it. The headlight dimmer in the '59 Caddy was the Autronic Eye, and in '60 It was smaller and was called Guidematic.
Well currently it is snowing up north here in Wyoming where I am at. Sitting in my shed with a fine cigar watching Lord Duff and his sidekick. Good Monday.
Enjoy!
Thanks for showing us the cold countryside . Way different than what we’re used to in Southern CA.
Sorry about the Power poles down, such an inconvenience for you all
Finally a caddie that runs. A few patch panels and you have Duff a Pheasant hunting wagon. Ryan in Iowa likes flat tops.
I used to look forward too see winter and the snow come, but anymore I tell u the older I get the colder I get lol, so I dread it anymore!!
Me too!
Thanks for the video under adverse conditions. We get those ice storms here in NC, but not often, about every twenty years. I hope someone sends you a Duff sign. I’d vote for him.
Hope you have the power back by now, it was a fun video to watch even with the issues.
It’s on
More Caddy. Can never have enough Cadillac's.
First class videos, really enjoy them. Nice to watch a real enthusiast with some great skills. Us old school car guys are getting rare now
Super cool you still get to do things with your Dad. Keep up the great work and I will keep on watching
Will do

Old Duff really loves those luxury cars, good luck on the power and cold weather situation, at least you can still get fuel for the generator. I was looking at a dual fuel conversion for my generator so I had an option for propane, power has been pretty stable in our area for the past 10 years, we have gone as long as two weeks after an ice storm some years back. My parents were from south east corner of South Dakota(Alcester), they sold their farm in the mid 50's to move to the PNW.

Sweet motor for a old school hotrod build. Appreciate the time and effort put in for this upload couldn't have been easy under the circumstances
Thanks Phil!
I have a 2018 Tacoma that has the auto dimming high beams. I dig the flat top. Sweet ride back in the day.

Man, I dont know how y'all take that cold weather up there. I live in the South, down here a light dusting of snow shuts down the entire state. I like your videos, these old cars are disappearing before our eyes, good to see them get a last chance at survival, even for a short while.
Tell me about it
The fact that Letterkenny references has made it on to the Mortske channel just solidifies my choice to continue watching. Eagerly awaiting Shoresy!

I hope you drive it in springtime bro it be cool to see you this man bring it back on Springtime man I want to see this thing Drive old man
Way to adapt, improvise, overcome and persevere all in the same episode! Well done.
Thanks
You are a dedicated host. Love the vid. Been a while since we've seen some flame. Hope you and Duff dont go too long without power. Thanks for being on the Tube
You need to restore / update this one for you and Duff! That think would be an awesome cruiser / advertisement!
Great project. sounded really good. wow seeing all what the weather did is a harsh reminder winter us here again
About time you got into a full restoration, could this little gem be the one, I wonder.
Great weather for you guys. Hope you have power again.
Yes we do

Ewww
Yep, that engine needs to be pulled and put someplace special later methinx. Maybe a rod of some sort? Great video as per usual.
Thanks 👍
Another great show as always Mortske!
I think this was a great video of a resurrection. So its got some rust. SO its got some wiring problems. So its got some rear suspension problems. A lot of us in our time have drug in equal to or worse than what Mort brings in. Its fascinating watching him trouble shoot and develop a running vehicle. What's not to like.
The old Rochester Quadra-Jet ... a beast of a carb
Rochester 4 jet... its the daddy of the quadrajet lol
Duff is awesome for keeping us humans sane.
Theres nothing worse than getting an ice storm that weighs down power lines and tree branches,lots of snap crackle and popping.
It’s easier getting a foot of snow than ice frankly.
If you switch out the old fluorescent shop lights to the newer LED type that cuts down considerably on your draw from the generator.Same goes for any interior lights you may be using in the house,LED light bulbs cut down on what the generator has to put out.Hope you and Pookie get those utility poles replaced,that’s a lot of busted poles there.
Enjoyed watching and look forward to the next one,thanks.
Shop lights are LED
There are sites where you can go and bid on Military Surplus, they have 30k diesel generators that you can get pretty cheap that should run that place pretty easily.
