Rotten Roof!
In this video I will be starting the process of saving this roof on this 1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass. We will also be putting the body on a Rotisserie. The roof is very rusty and in very poor condition. This car has t-tops and they have been leaking for years. This roof was also a vinyl top roof so there is plenty of rust from that. We will start the video with making the roof rigid. Then start working on the front window channel. I will be replacing all the rusted metal with new metal in the window channel and working our way up the roof. #automobile #hotrod #classiccars #chevrolet #oldsmobile #diy #mechanic #ford #rusty #dodge #ttop

This led to lots of rust issues and in this episode I will be trying to eliminat...

I'm back on the 1969 Pontiac Firebird. last week I started the process of installing the tail panel. this weekend I'm going to get it finished! I will also be putting the passenger side quarter panel patch panels in. I will always be patching the trunk weather stripping channel.

Getting something back I sold over 30 years ago.
I really enjoyed watching you work through all the problems one at a time to get this old girl running. Thanks for sharing! I’ll be tuning in to your channel. “I think I forgot to latch that hood.” Haha Enjoyed it!
Hey if you happen to remember, any tips for getting it lined up when going back in. Came out easy but not so much with trying to mate to transmission and engine mount
Well to be honest I don't remember however I have some suggestions. If it's an automatic make sure the torque converter it all the way in. You should be able to spin and press firmly until it lines up and slides in. I would also get the engine to the point I could get one of the transmission bolts started but very loose. Then use the bolt as a pivot point until I could get second one started. Then so on and so on. I hope this helps in some way. Please let me know if I can help. Please let me know if you get it in. Good luck 🤞🏼
I have not rode a Cushman in 65 years but, mine had a lot more compression than that one does.
how do you remove the inner piece of the clamshell?
Mine were riveted together. It has a boltsthat goes through the frame with a nut on the back and it's a pain in the ass to unbolt. Then a rivet on them that I drilled out. Hope this helps.
Great video- I have referenced this video multiple times! :) By any chance do you happen to know the part numbers of the CHECK SPRING AND BALL BEARING that is removed from the top of the shifter location? Bought transmission from someone and never provided that :( thank you!
Sorry it has taken me so long to respond. I don't have those part numbers. If it were me I would go to a Nissan dealership and let them pull up an exploded diagram. Then you can just point it out and pay for it.
Great video man, it’s always fun visiting the yard
I love looking around.
listening to people who say "do it right the first time" spend a lot of money...
Shit it's just money.
These Hyundai/ Kia engines go in and out easy, good thing because they aren't very reliable.
You are very correct 💯
Really a cool old scooter... I had a Cushman , i believe, the Pacesetter, ca.1962 model ,it had a fiberglas cover over the engine and rear tire, gastank above rear tire. The motor looks the same. Keep after it it worth it .
You did good work on this video!
Thanks 😎
Where did you get the adhesive backed foam strips for your straps?
Amazon, look up camper top seal.
want to sell as is?
It's not mine, it belongs to my buddy and he's attached to it.
….now how the hell do I change the bulbs?!
I am trying to get a similar Cushman running. I think there might be a spun key in the flywheel. Anyone have any idea if there is a way to make sure the flywheel is reinstalled properly?
Stuck valve. I bought a brand new 1959 for my paper rout. That sucker was about $100.00 more than a Vespa. I paid $535.00 out the door. That was really high dollar back then. When I was 15, I traded it for a 1937 Plymouth Business Coupe. After about 2 weeks, I wanted my scooter back.
Zero compression
Exactly 💯
I have a built ZZ4 in my 92 RS and I’ve been wanting to LS swap it
I promise you won't regret it. This thing is wicked!
@@ForsakenSteel I already know. I’ve owned the car for 16 years and wanted to have it built for my son in high school but see the way my bank account is structured 😂
ARE YOU SURE thats a 76 F150 ranger? i just got a 76 F150 ranger a couple months ago and it dont have shoulder belts and it has gas cap flap covers? its having similar problems as this one, its soiled its 3rd prepump filter so ive ordered a new tank, sender and carb since i cant get choke to work AND idle slow enough to not jerk into gear, at same time
It's definitely a 76 Ranger. The second tank was a dealer add on I believe. If you want to follow this truck it belongs to another TH-camer now. He has done a ton of work to make it more roadworthy. His channel is Junker Clunker and here's a link. Thanks for watching and good luck with your truck. youtube.com/@junkerclunkerz?si=4w0Rxvo65_ertkTq
Old ma😂n here remembers when you were hot stuff if you rode a cushman to high school
Sounds like a good time to me. Thanks for watching!
I could not find any Cushman videos. Did you give up? Want to start on ine soon.
It belongs to my buddy and he decided to stop messing with it for now. His plan is a full rebuild but he also has a shop and builds muscle cars so who knows when that will be. I just wanted to ride this thing around the yard so bad. Anyways thanks for watching I appreciate it.
For the Cushman, where did you get parts?
Through a company one line. www.dennis-carpenter.com/cushman/books-amp-manuals/parts-books/?srsltid=AfmBOops_yXGbVRD08j3cXHrs7arAEjI3uWxaU0OBSRAapmtfk8XPpttarpenter
Where did you order parts from?
Dennis Carpenter he has almost anything you can imagine. I put a link in one of your other comments. Thanks for watching!
How much did you end up spending on the transmission? Thinking of buying one and this will probably be an issue at some point.
Well I still haven't changed it. The last quote I had to have it rebuilt was $2700 that included a new torque converter and me doing the work. That was a year ago from a local builder. Hope this helps.
@@ForsakenSteel very helpful thank you! Might buy one that has already had it done.
Set the coil to the flywheel with a bussiness card.😊
Great idea.
Small Engine 101...If it has been sitting for a long period of time,first things first,#1) If no spark,check points by physically pulling them out to inspect,typically they will need replacing. Step #2 While waiting for the points and condensor to arrive pull the carb off and thoroughly go thru it and especially replace the needle 'n seat and soak it overnight in carb cleaner,reassemble and put back on. #3) If it has NO compression it is usually a stuck or non sealing valve,(typically the exhaust valve),simply "lap" the valves back into the seats and reassemble. #4) Check the ring end gap of each ring it should be between .010" to .015",(by way of you kicking it over by hand it has far too little compression to even pop off!!! Should have atleast 80PSI to run,[but poorly],should be 100PSI atleast to be viable),if it is greater than .015" order a new set of rings,then reassemble. After all that it should start first kick!!! I can tell you have not had much experience in small engine trouble shooting by the way this video went!!
I am most definitely not a small engine guy. I actually screen shot this information you shared so I can go back to it later. This Cushman belongs to a friend of mine and I just wanted to ride it in the yard so bad. Anyways he is planning on doing a full rebuild later on. Thanks for watching and all the information clearly I need it. 😂
What is the part number for your lower rad hose ls swap 3rd gen camaro
I used the same one as the small block. I had to cut it down but it worked out good. I don't know the part number but you can get that easily enough. Thanks for watching.
My first ride, loved it. School ride. 82 and miss them old rides.😅😅😅
I just wanted to ride this thing so bad! Thanks for watching!
Great Job, will you make a video on the back glass?
I do intend on making a video on it. I'm not sure when it will be back on the docket for work though. Thanks for watching!
Been looking for some insight on how to pull this off on my 69 Nova & 72 rs/ss Camaro . THANKS so much for the video, you have gained a subscriber !
@michaelcaldwell4158 Good luck with your windshield and welcome to the channel!
What are those rims? So cool
It's been a minute but I believe they were US Mags 20"x 9" smoothie. They definitely fit the look of the truck.
This car has a 2 level coolness.. #1 Well , its The MonkeyMoble #2 It's still The MonkeyMoble..🐵😂🙈
Right!
No compression, looks like
I believe you are correct. It belongs to my buddy and currently is on his covered deck as art. He keeps saying he will rebuild the engine. However he's like me and has a lot of irons in the fire. Thanks for watching!
I’ve got to ls swap my 92 Camaro: it’s a roller that’s been sitting for 3 years but I just got it. I’ve got to replace all the interior. And I’ve got to paint the car. And I’ve got to put a 6.0 and 4l60e in. And I’ve got to figure out a good rear end. And my mechanic skills goes to the level of about brakes and alternators. I can do a lot of stuff. But I’ve just not done a lot of it even tho I’m pretty confident I can. But all this is overwhelming. I’ve got to do it myself bc I don’t have the money to pay for any labor. It’s taking me years to get a roller to start with. And will take a year probably to get all the parts I need. But I’m not doing a quick junk yard build. I’m wanting to be able to go to car shows with the car. And I’m going to have to lean on TH-cam a LOT. So if anyone has any pointers for a ls swap in a 92 Camaro I’d appreciate it
Well I'm glad you were able to get the car. If you have any questions on what to buy and such just reach out. I have a lot of videos on this swap. The swap could be done cheaper than I did it but I have about $9K in the entire swap. It's definitely not cheap. However I did make some mistakes and had to buy things twice. The biggest experience was the low mileage engine $3K I just didn't have time to go through a high mileage one. Best of luck on your project. Thanks for watching!
Did you ever get it running?
No it belongs to a friend of mine and he said I'll just rebuild it in the future. He has been using it as art on his covered patio. I wanted to ride this thing so bad! Thanks for watching.
If the compression isn't at least 125 it will never start
It definitely has low compression. It belongs to my buddy and he is going to do a full rebuild eventually.
If it's leaking out the carb the needle is stuck open,you need to clean the carb
Very well could be.
The compression is low,check it,should not turn over that easy,also you must have good fire or it will never run
I rode one for many miles, brother in law stole it and sold it , dam I was so mad, but the thief is gone now 😮 Still got 5 engines setting in shop 😢
All I wanted to do was ride this thing in the yard. It belongs to my buddy and he is going to do a full rebuild eventually. Sorry yours was stolen, that really sucks. Thanks for watching!
definitely needed this video before I walked into trying to figure out why my stuff wont line up since it sounds like I'll deal with some of the same. Also swapping from a BMR Crossmember to the Hooker because it just feels like it's mandatory for a street car with out the back exhaust. Going out today to see how my swap goes, mine's a T56/9" with an adjustable torque arm and I actually had hell getting the clamshell ta mount to fit on the BMR so I'm hoping somehow this ends up being easier lol
I'm glad you got some help out of my mistakes. I hope your project goes smoothly. Let me know how the Hooker cross member works for you. Thanks for watching!
I'll give you $50 for it
That's a good strong offer. 😂 Thanks for watching!
I would thriple it and drive for 3 days to get it 😊
Why use the cd009 a t56 would be easier won’t it
Well I had been looking for a used T56 that didn't have 200,000 miles for a long time. I saw that drift guys were using these behind LS engines and thought that should work. I Looked a lot on the Internet and didn't see anyone putting one in a third gen. Now after all the work I know why. I would not recommend it to anyone else. Thanks for watching!
it would be easier but a cd009 with adapter parts and do all this done to it is still cheaper and stronger than an off the shelf t56 magnum. Then by some odd chance you do break one you can get another for like 800 dollars and swap everything over. I'm doing the cd009 swap in an 86 monte carlo now and its not too difficult.
Great work improvising
Thanks
Way to impressive
Thanks Brother
I wanted to go this year but looks like next year for sure! I hope to see you there
I'm planning on going next year as well. Make sure you give me a shout if you see me.
@@ForsakenSteel will do. I don’t know if I’ll be taking my 1978 F350 dually. It’s an old car hauler, 16’ flatbed….nice and low to the ground. Has a Gen 7 496 bbc with fuel injection and a 4L80e with overdrive. I literally just got it running right last week. I’m in SE Wisconsin and I think you’re from Michigan?
@@daviddenman7479 I love the old car haulers when they are good and low. There is an Earl 60's Ford (I think) Fire truck near me that I want to convert to a ramp truck. I actually live in Tennessee. Evidently I have turned my hillbilly down too much. 😂
I'm 16 and my dream car is a 69 GTO judge
That's an excellent dream car. 😎
Hello I just replaced my engine but it won’t start. Is there anything special I need to do to start it ?
Not that I'm aware of. I would start with pulling a coil pack and testing for spark. Then look to see what the fuel pressure is. Good luck sorry I couldn't be of more help. Also double check everything got plugged back in.
@@ForsakenSteel ok thank you I have read about the multi air valves needing to be prime after sitting
@@ElChupa_Cabra that can definitely happen. Can you let me know what it was when you get it running. I would be curious to see what it was.
@@ForsakenSteel yessir still tryna get into work I tried priming it a little and shot tons of oil out idk if Im supposed to keep doing that or what lol
@@ForsakenSteel welp could never get it running tried everything the junk yard said they would give me another one. I think the one I got was maybe bad. The car it came from had no crash damage..sooo either there for a bad motor or trans
That’s a lot of vice grips glad it worked out
It's all that we had at The shop except two. 😆
Its hard to tell from the video, you cant feel the metal but if looks like you ended up with a workable piece. You just need to spend some time with a hammer and dolly and planish that roof. it looks like you have a knot at the crown running from the passenger side to the driver side right where the sunroofs start to narrow, just ahead of the oilcanning. I have no idea how capable you are when it comes to metal work ive just ran across your video, i dont want to seem insulting at all. if you are having trouble getting the panel straight and taking the stretch out of the metal, i would recommend you check out Carl Fishers channel called "Make it kustom" he's got a lot of great visual explanations about straigtining metal, with a hammer and dolly and i think he's got one video about quenching with an acetaline tourch. He's been the only one on youtube ive ever ran across that ive seen explain things properly and easy, highly recommended.
This is some excellent advice. I have watched Carl on the Make it Custom channel several times. He is a true talent. I am definitely not as good as him but I'm not a novice either. I'm currently doing metal fab for a living ( for the past 8 months) and doing it everyday has helped me grow. I truly appreciate the advice and you are spot on with what was happening to the roof. I couldn't get to the back of the panel to use a hammer and dolly very well. I encourage you to watch next week's episode where I fix all this garbage. Thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it more than you know.
That repair looks great. If you're trying to fix junk you have to expect a less-then-perfect repair. That roof clearly needed to be cutoff and start with a new straight replacement. It's the reality of the situation. My younger brother had an '81 Cutlass Supreme. Was a pretty solid car. Look forward to more. Be safe and stay well.
You are correct about having to lower expectations on repairs made to cars this rusty. I've got a soft spot for any T-top car. I've had a couple Cutass over the years and loved them all. Thanks for watching Brian.
It's coming along great, certainly a bit rusty, but I'm sure you can get it done, thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones
This is definitely one of the worst cars I've ever replied. It's coming along nicely but there's plenty more to fix. Thanks for watching Donald I appreciate all the support.
So nice to see this beautiful Cutlass being saved, especially a rare T top car. Huge job, but well worth it.
It's going to be a nice one when I get done. It was one of the worst cars I've ever repaired. Thanks for watching!
