    WD-40 is penetrating fluid, not lubricant. It might work as a lubricant for a short time, but that stuff will be squeaking again soon enough. Use real grease.

      90% of shops dont work on old cars anymore, 1995 is probably the oldest they will go. This goes for major cities, im sure hick towns still work on old garbage. Whatever you call a fancy shop is beyond me.

Same color as yours down to the red pinstripe down the side. Watching this sure does take me back! I still remember how many times to pump the gas before you crank it without flooding it, using that foot button to turn my brights on and off, and the location of every alamite you have to grease in the frontend.

    Nice job! I’ve owned a bull nose, brick nose, a ranger, and an explorer. Makes me miss those old fords. This old girl is loving all the attention! Those broken springs are screaming for a small lift and bigger tires… throw some hubcaps on her and she’s set! That 300 will treat you well for a long time, and the 4 speed is bullet proof. Check those ball joints, pivot joints, and wheel bearings as they are high wear items. The tie rods can wear, but it looks like you nailed them out nicely. Take some of that scrap diamond plate from the running boards and build a cup holder or tray where the dash speaker rotted out. These look great with a visor and/or cab clearance lights, too.

    Got a '76 Plymouth Valiant several years back, up in Washington State, $0 out of pocket. 318, HD suspension, cooling, sure-grip rear end, solid body, interior only needing the driver's seat foam fixed, new carpet, a headliner, and about 86K miles on it. Moved to the SE, the car came along. People have more reaction to that beige sedan than the GT350 in the garage, lol. I enjoy bringing them back to a resto-mod level. Not "Custom," no $30K paint jobs, custom interiors, $8K stereos... I do upgrade brakes, suspension, chassis stiffening, steering and wheels/tires (5" wide, 14" diameter rims are garbage), but I don't need Wilwood brakes ($4K), QA-1 suspension ($11K), 20+" rims & Michelin Sport Cup tires.
    The car today? I have about $12K in it. Mechanically new, better than factory. Makes more power, burns cleaner and pulls better gas mileage. Stops, steers and handles better than an A38 (police package) Dart/Valiant. Electrical system better than factory. Stock radio retrofitted to digital, AM/FM with BlueTooth, 4-speaker hook up, amp hook up and a USB port. Cheap to insure, goes up in value, and not afraid to let my Cattle Dog ride shotgun. 4-speed manual (with overdrive), hardly no one can drive it. Not to mention I know the car back-to-front, top-to-bottom, and repairs are far cheaper than a modern vehicle -not to mention I can do them.

    Never use glass cleaner on your plastic dash. It has alcohol in it which will dry it out and make it crack. Never use a crescent wrench on an oil drain plug. Use the proper wrench . Simple green is a great inexpensive cleaner. It works amazing on carpet as well. Putting 15w40 in a vehicle in Minnesota is not very wise. It will not flow at all in cold temperatures starving the top end of oil. A claw or rip hammer is for carpentry work. Get a ball peen. I will be happy to mail you a hammer and a set of end wrenches seriously

    I have just discovered your channel. I am watching as I also have a Bullnose. Your video's are perfect., you must be professional. It isn't just the visual aspect of consuming the video, you capture all the noises perfectly. It feels like I am actually there doing the job. Don't ever add heavy metal music please. Just subscribed.

    I just traded for a 1990 D150 with a 3.9l in it. My neighbors barn blew down in a storm and he didnt have anywhere to keep it. Its rusty, slow, and runs great. Its my daily driver and my kids think its cool. Win/win. I thought about repainting it, but that would ruin it. My friends agree.

    Awesome video! I love the simplicity of it and all the angles you got. During the cleaning of the cab, I could smell the Spray-away! 😂

    Absolutely loved the removal of the diamond plate aluminum running boards esp the pile you threw it all in - topped with the hardware 😂 Had me laughing. Well done. I’m a new subscriber who is thoroughly enjoying your content 🙏🏽

    A leak on an old vehicle needs a factor of 2.5. Because it'll take 2 to 3 attempts to fix it for good. A leak is sometimes a de facto relief valve for a leak somewhere else. Or, whoever remanned that remanned unit was still in training. Or, the last person ruined the machined gasket surface with a 3M bodywork prep disc. The list goes on . . . .

    The first gear on that T-18 transmission feels like it could climb up a cliff face. Great for starting off when hauling a yard of gravel.
