- Опубликовано: 29 дек 2023
- Hi guys! Another busy and fun week here at CWMC HQ! Tom and I got busy on the 1959 Buick project, and we'll have a look at how I converted a sedan door to work on the flat-top! A quick Renault 5 update, and then we're back at the GCFCE to see if Dan's 1953 Olds can be made to run on its own fuel supply, and a midnight test drive ensues! Finally, Agent 8771 took the 1966 Suzuki S-32 on a 400km rally and got us a few clips...

Man! I love the color of that Olds!
That olds is AWESOME!
Tom: No swearing!
Also Tom: It’s FUCKT
😂
Tom actually working, you gotta get video of that. It doesn't happen often.
19:19 The correct technical term for a fuzzy microphone cover is a _"Dead Cat"_ ... so Tiger wants to swat the Dead Cat hanging off your camera.
LOL Tom is helping!??!?!
Imagine the guys at the factory 🏭 seeing this on the doors all these years later hey he worked out our secret on our doors boys 🤦🏼👍🏻🇦🇺.
Tom's laughter is infectious. You are beyond blessed to have him as a neighbor
I can see it now, Dean Dean the dancing machine on a new Gong Show.
As per Tom’s story about getting hurt at work. When I started work as an electrician in 1985 our safety policy was don’t get hurt. And if you did, lie.
The OLDS sounds like CHRISTINE when she was coming back into the garage after burning in the gas station incident!😁 love that!
A real “Stall 20!” moment. 😃
Christine's evil step sister has come out to play.
It really is👌
That was an awesome but erie scene and that exhaust leak just really made it!!!!!
Dear @genehasenbuhler2594
👍👌👏 Exactly what I thought instantly too! Additionally: The one functioning reverse light almost made me shiver. 2) Happy new year!
Best regards, luck and health in particular.
Tom is a national treasure! ❤ Happy New Year, agents.
Happy new year from me and Frankers!
Buicks were overbuilt, but that’s what made them great cars.
Just put a pipe wrench on it 😂
If that Olds were mine, I would be Gollum... Mine, mine, my little precious.. She is a sweetheart.
Great episode! I especially enjoyed the "losing it" portion of the door swap. But... you have to stop showing those small old bikes... you're giving me ideas that will only lead to madness. Cheers
I'm glad to see that both your '59 Buick and Dan's '53 Olds are coming along. I keep forgetting that you're a full generation younger than Tom & I are, so when he asked if you'd remembered Chuck Barris and the "Gong Show" of the mid '70's and you said "No" It surprised me a bit. That show was what the past generation defined as "campy". There was a sort of corniness about it. It was so bad it actually became funny. It was a kind of "America's Got "No" Talent" variety show that highlighted people doing tricks that often failed, telling lousy jokes, singing off key, slipping while dancing and occasionally doing something right. When Chuck Barris introduced them and let them do their "schtick" the clock would run for about 60 to 90 seconds but if by the first 45 seconds the amateur entertainers bombed, Barris would hit a Gong and a long cane would come out from the side of the stage and yank these losers off the stage. The show lasted about 3-4 years and actually had a cult following.
I went to see the taping of the GONG show in Hollywood
2002's Confessions of a Dangerous Mind about Chuck Barris is a must watch.
I'm 53, & I remember the gong show, classic!!!
Chucky Baby Chucky Baby!
We had a neighbor two doors down that made it on the show. It didn’t go well and they were gonged if I recall. Lol
As Murphy said, nothing is as simple as you think it will be.
Good to see that door fits the Buick.. and .. That Big Olds.. SOOOO Cool.. That car has some great potential.. Tune up and Exhaust.. and some " Scott Special Paint Matching".. going to be Awesome..
The color on that olds.....Mphhh! such a nice color, such a nice car. It needs a full on. ...and "Ya gotta grind a 1/4 inch off of this door" - Tom 12/22/23 ....still has me dead. lol
Was that Dean's Greasy Flip car lot in the opening? Tom is a man of culture to have watched The Gong Show, I also watched it, but it didn't last long.
Tom is worth his weight in gold! Happy New Year, Scott and everyone at CWM!
Diggin that 61 Chevy in the intro
I drooled a little. 🤤
If Dan can get the lights to work he's going to have a tough winter beater contender😊
An unbeaten winter beater?
The Buick, (founded by David Dunbar Buick), is looking good.
My brother in-law kept buying batteries for his 98 Volvo s70 finally gave it to me for salvage money 300.00. I found the glove box light stayed on all the time. He was so pissed I fixed it. Anyways it got totaled by hurricane Ian flooded.
Frankers 🐶💖 IMMEDIATELY understood , milkbone 😅
It's fascinating seeing how
Similar each of those Buick
doors , really are
I've always been interested
in , what the actual subtle differences were
Outstanding diagnostic skills ,
Scott !!
Who would have thought ,
That pressed fit was causing ,
The piston restriction
Outstanding , seeing Dan's
53 Oldsmobile holiday hardtop ,
Mobile again !!
The magical intro alone made my Saturday, thank you. I do not want to know how you did it😂🙈🙉🙊
That 1953 Oldsmobile 98 is a beautiful car. Dan did a great job getting it running and driving. It looks Much nicer than the 1950 Oldsmobile my Dad had as the family car when I was just a boy. That car was built in 1950 just like me lol. My Dad had a 1937 Buick when he was 19 and heading off to WW2 in Europe. I still have a photo of him leaning over the hood. All great memories you brought back to me. Thanks for the video.
Love the patched together tow truck!
Door adjustments are so much of a pain but once you've got it, it's very rewarding !
SAturdays Feature !!!
Thank you for the video
The Olds is a Beauty !!!
Big ❤😂for the Towttuck and Tractor + Trailer miniature work 👍
I have never seen an Olds of this vintage as a hardtop. Pretty cool-looking car once it's done.
Another vivid, splendid 1/24th scale intro by Kyle. Hearing the audio of Dan’s Holiday 98 warms the heart…what a jewel! The work on the Buick’s rear passenger door modifications are both extensive and intense. I suspect that Buick’s engineers never expected anybody- except CWM’s master alchemists - would ever undertake such a task 60+ years after the Buick rolled off of Flint’s assembly line. More good works, gents!👍
When I watch these videos, I fully expect a shit show. It seems that Frankers is always expecting it as well. That Olds is amazing. Nice job, Dan. Always nice to see Tom the walking Gong Show. The stories he can tell. Love that guy! Thanks for the weekly entertainment. Cheers!
Maybe Dan should run Lucas ⛽️ addictive 24 /7 in that car . She a beauty Dan .
Would've liked a brief run down on attempt to remove broken bleeder screw on the Renault. Imagine Scott tried the usual combination of saturating with a penetrant, applying heat, and employing an EZ-out. Guessing the different metals may be the reason it was ultimately unsuccessful. What he ended up doing undoubtedly took a lot of time, sure hope it works!
Such an incredible joy to see that wonderful old Olds come roaring back to life!!! EXCELLENT JOB!!
I've said it before, a day without Tom is like a day without sunshine.
Man the work you put into that door, I didn't think that would work as well as it did,
Dan's 53 Olds is looking to be a thing a beauty.
Your lady friend is a good egg to hang out for door puzzles and laugh at Tom's jokes. Cheers!
Best intro yet!!
Love the tow truck in the opening scenes.
Part of Tom’s charm is that he’s easily amused.
A lot of door-king around for that Buick.
Huge Olds fan, I’ve owned nearly every year from 1950-‘72. A ‘53 98 brought me home from the hospital. It was also one of the first cars I owned when I turned 16. Great memories, I can smell that old girl down here in Wisconsin. It’s calling my name…
like 232! Happy dog, happy happy happy dog !
No swearing!!😂 That's what made the door fit better! Love seeing Tom around helping out. Interesting that the Olds and the Buick aren't that far apart in age but the styling is quite different. Happy New Year to you and the Agents! Hi Frankers!!
I was laughing pretty well when Scott got Tom laughing about his swearing for a change.
I like the Olds, one of the first really modern cars, and beateful. Good camerawork on the Buickdoor by the blonde in the black hat, super. Cheers.
Not so sure about the camera work...
Light sockets are probably all corroded and bulbs burnt-out. Love that car
Sort of a dejavu.. that door job. I made a Hardtop door to my SC/Rambler replica out of Rambler American 2d Sedan door. Some welding, some drilling and modifying brackets. Happy new year and new projects... to all ya folks...
50:45 - Why I couldn’t have a RUclips channel, it’d be an entire hour of this.
What a great show...the Olds the buick..dig it..
Hey Tom, I remember Chuck Barris and the original Gong Show! Dang, am I that old?
Happy New Year everyone!
You are and so am I because I watched it too
That Olds is amazing-like a custom show car that was mass produced-the cars sold today are plastic high tech junk-no thank you! Cheers!!!
Classic Tom, great work around with the brakes. Olds sounding mean! New engine sounds for the intro video..
Awesome last show for 2023.
Hey Scott, on the Renault caliper, i like your fix and if the banjo bolt leaks you can put a copper washers on it. I always save those and bleeders when i have to replace calipers.
Best channel ever cheers
This is a cool old Oldsmobile 98 coupe! It goes and stops, and 1 park light and one backup light. Plus it’s got some functioning dash lights and gauges. It’s come a long way, but still has so far to go. Great.
The opening of the show with the model cars are really well done and nicely edited. Also enjoy when you put in yourself and the agents jammin...and the rest of the show is always enjoyable too.
It was so great to see Tom getting into the door with a screwdriver and cracking jokes! I think if so inclined, a machinist could bore out the bleeder hole and silver braze a bushing in its place that one could cut to whatever thread pitch and diameter matches a stock bleeder screw. I've had some success with that method with other repairs in the past like wallered balljoint tapers in control arms and such. So long as the sealing surfaces on the bleeder are concentric and aligned properly, that's the important thing. So generous for Dan to take us along on the first fire-up and it sounds great! He's been busy polishing the paint, it's shocking how it's coming right back up! Also fun to see Andy with his S-32, it looks a lot like my '67 M15A-2 which at 49cc would have no chance of keeping up with him, haha! All the best in 2024 Scott!
I know it's probably a huge character flaw in me.. but I prefer all the other 50s GM cars to the 55-56 Chevies. That 53 olds is awesome
The Chevy’s just seem to be a lighter and cleaner design in most cases, plus they are the working man’s class of car and therefore sold in much larger numbers. I do love the others though, especially that Olds. My dad’s 1st car was a 54 Olds and he has told me plenty of stories about that car. He cracked 7 pistons one time trying to get home from college in record time. The old rocket got him home anyway but was leaving a white cloud behind him the last few miles. Oldsmobile was the experimental division in those years and the 54 Olds looked similar to the other 1955 GM cars.
@@CharlesAtwell-or7bm the Olds and Buicks of the mid 50s had style the 55 and 56 Chevies looked like diet checker cabs
@@drskull9I do see your point, I always thought the Checkers looked similar to 58 Chevys in the front. You know Checkers were sold to the general public too but you hardly ever see one.
@@relay3 ouch.. and I thought I was harsh on them.
@@relay3 me either on the 55/56s, I understand why they were popular with moonshiners (lots of storage space) and early stock car racers - not much in the wa of chrome or decoration to remove. But so many other cars looked so much better.
Bonus point ✌🏻
I have to say that the stop motion animation this time is above and beyond. The tow truck dropping off behind the transport truck was epic. So was the condition of the Blue VW in front of the repair shop. Greatly pleased with this one. A big thank you.
Glad you liked it... Happy new year from me and Frankers!
Says a lot about the quality of those 50s cars they can be 70+ and still run well. The straight 8s had a unique note to the exhaust that made them hard to miss. Cheers for the New Year....
@26:57 I hit the ole-like button for Dan.
my Saturday is complete! holiday wishes to you frankers and all the agents
Fine work on that door
That Olds sure sounds good. Nice seeing Tom at work.
The way we hollered when she started! I love the way Olds just burst into life when they start.
I really love that Oldsmobile. The condition is just so nice for its age.
Dan's Olds 98 Holiday is a great car! Nice to see it progressing nicely!
Love the vintage bikes. Wish I still had my BSA 250 that I had back in the 70's.
Love Dan's new runner.....she does all the important things now...Stop, Start and Steer .
"Foolish enough to own one" ....or three in your case!!!
Dan’s Olds sure is a glamorous old girl! Glad to seeTom was on hand to guide you through the fine points of the door swap - always confidence inspiring to hear “Now you’re f-!!” Thanks for all the pointers and entertainment in 2023, looking forward to more in ‘24 (my CWM calendar is on the wall!). Happy New Year and all the best to you, your family, Frankers, and all the Agents - cheers!
Great show again! That Olds is hubba-hubba. Always good to see the bikes - and they are some beauties.
Really enjoy watching you and Tom, so fun...loved seeing Dans Olds and I'm super jealous of your bro doing the rally I don't think they have something here in Ontario like that or I would buy vintage 250 2 stroke for sure.
The horn on Dan's Olds sounds like a car's horn SHOULD! 👍
It's a pretty decent Saturday. The rain finally stopped, and it's not cold and windy. It's a great day to sit on the porch and watch CWM!
It's gonna be nice to see the 72 Suburban get restored. I really wish you could've saved the 72 Newpie too. Can't have everything.
Thank you Scott, Franker's, Tom and agents for all the great shows.
Have a fantastic New Year all!
Time for some dried flowers.
Happy New Year to the CWM crew! Is Tom the new "Unknown Comic" or "Gene Gene the Dancing Machine" from "The Gong Show"? Great to see the Buick getting some attention, it's a cool car.
"Gene Gene the Dancing Machine" ruclips.net/video/9R28b8XXoXs/видео.html - the best.
Bonus: Jaye P. Morgan flashing her headlights. ruclips.net/video/ME_rrjIODTE/видео.html
I’m definitely capturing Scott’s F-bomb rant, along with the laughter in the background-my next ringtone for folks who drive me nuts-for sure. The Suzuki is badass-props for ripping it and the show was sweet, too!
The Menace, full of joy in the snow, made the program. The rest of the show was a rich topping! 😊
The intro is awesome-excellent attention to details!
Glad you like it!
Great fix on the renault 5 calliper . Simply amazing that a fuel pump can come back to life after a thirty year rest. Thanks for all the great content this year. Best wishes to all the agents, Frankers, and to you, Scott!
Here's to 2024...Best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧
I could not believe how quickly this episode flew by. Thank you Scott for the hours you do editing and uploading this every week. Happy New Year! My CWM calendar comes into play in less than 31 hours! 😁
HAPPY 2024, CANADA!
Tom and yourself make a great team! Happy New Year Scott and agents!
Cheers Scott and Frankers, Happy New Years!
The '59 Buick would look incredible in single tone black with red interior!🤩
That Oldsmobile was going 100 smiles per hour, what a beast
Much work on the door- but it's on! What a job!
Years ago, bought a '62 Country Sedan (6 & OD) punched in the passenger doors at some point. Paid... $400? Drove it home.
Bought two doors off a '62 Galaxie at pick part. White. Used a jack & lumber to push the door jamb out. The door window frames UNBOLTED! Took off the sedan frame & glass, bolted on the wagon frame and glass, and removed the thick Galaxie door trim, leaving the thin stainless inner piece.
A paintless bolt on repair.
Unfortunately, traded it for a completely worn out '56 Ford short bed pickup.
Happy New year!
Happy new year to the CWM agents!🎉
Adjusting the door and a lot of cursing: That happens when you work on cars.
A friend whose DS we fixed up told me: "When I entered you body shop I heard you and your Dad through the entire shop cursing non stop. You had a Hell of a time lifting and adjusting parts of another car that would not fit no matter what". The first thing I learned working on cars was to curse a lot!
Love the Oldsmobile very much. There will be a lot of work required to restore it.
The baritone rythm of "these stupid fuckin'" with Tom's wheezing laugh could be overdubbed to sound like the beginning of "Jump Around" lmao
IT'S A RUNNER!
I loved the temper tantrum in the middle of the door installation on the Buick. Adds a bit of realism to the project.
Sounds like the Olds has a plugged up exhaust.
The punch line is that the Olds has mudflaps! Five stars.
Can't get enough of that 53 Olds. Its running, driving and stopping great. Maybe a little valve noise under the hood but that exhaust just reminds me of my straight piped Merc flathead.
Wow! Sweet Running Olds! My dad had a 53 Olds Rocket power, 4 speed Hydra , told me it just flew, I remember holding the strap behind the seat as dad hammered down the gas us kids leaning back hanging on lol !
The Olds lives!! That's gonna be a beauty when finished. Scott, that door! What patience you have and what skill! That buick is gonna be great!
A little more work on the '59 Buick door than you realized Scott. Awesome job of conquering the beast. Wish my DAF calipers were designed like the R5...it would have made my job so much easier to rebuild but then again I had no issues with dis-similar metals since they were all steel. Nice job of diagnosing that issue. 👍👍
Looks as though you could have a party in the trunk of Dan's 98... Happy new year. God bless.
