I’d love to put the wax on that 1963 Ford Fairlane 500. One of my favorite cars, clean lines, not to large and a subtle, sporty look. I enjoy your channel.
As l was a teenager in the mid 70s and Chevelle were everywhere for just a couple hundred dollars lve built several under a tree in my Grandfathers back yard. Man l wish l had a few of them back now
Sir thank you for videos keep'em coming. I have hot rodded under a tree it was about a 60' pecan for the love of my life 67 Ford Mustang Fastback I named her MISERY.
I've never built a hot rod under a shade tree but I've gotten alot of mine I got running/driving under a tree. That Fury Sport is a great car, I had a 65 Fury Sport a few years ago, it was a fun car.
Love your videos. Keep up the good work. U have a really great knowledge of older vehicles and it’s nice listening to someone in videos that has true knowledge not just what they read in a old Hemings catalog. Thank you for your hard work. God Bless JM in Greers Ferry AR
I built a 1971 Chevy Vega. It was a scooter of a car with the big n littles balonies runnin a mini mouse under the hood. It was a fun project that I'd do again ❤.
Great videos. Never built a hot rod under a tree but did restore a 1967 Jaguar XKE roadster in a garage. Fantastic car. Really like the 65 Comet but a little too expensive for me. Keep up the great work.
I could use that wax on my Challenger Solon. And I'm still looking for another of my dream cars a 72 or 73 Grand Torino Sport. Keep up the great content! 🇺🇸👍
Had a 72 CJ about 20nyears ago with Hurst 4 speed. Red/blk hood. Friend bugged me till I sold it to him. Brutally fast for such a heavy car. He totalled it less than a year later. Couldn't repair. He only had minor injuries. Take care!
i wrecked my wonderful 1976 buick regal. i then took the body off and put a 1953 f100 on the chassis. i put in the buick tilt wheel, center console shifter and bucket seats. it was awesome.
A good buddy & I took a 75 Merc Bobcat 2 Dr wagon. Pulled the V6 dropped in a 302 with headers & side pipes. In his back yard under a tree . Left the woody grain on the sides. & stenciled goin fishin on the back hatch. It was 1 fast lil sh t getter! Everyone could use some Wax! Great rides! Fond of the 770! Double 👍👍 on the Classics Solon! Wish I had some extra cash!
I would like to see one 1966 GTO........That was my Hot Rod Can in the 60's I mean fast...............Here is some of the stuff I did ...3/4 cam....three Carbs M22 box and more love your show

My brothers and I built a 1971 Grand Prix four speed Big Block. Sold it before painting for a profit. Dad would always buy us a car to work on,he would build the engines and we would put them together. Dad did work for Dick Moroso street car's came in around 500hp race engines could get up to 800.

Speaking of wax jobs and an old man's observation - I've noticed the much more common trend of people mis-representing cars as "original" when they obviously are not. "Original" at one time meant "exactly from factory". Today, when somebody throws around the over used worn out terms of "original", "barn find" or "hard to find", I immediately think of some guy wearing a sage green , wide lapel polyester suit and wearing white patent leather shoes. Cheap cigar optional.
Not sure you would consider this a shade tree. I worked on a '73 Plymouth Duster under some pine trees. LOL that is because we had a small lot and they were on both sides of the driveway in the back. I remember one time my friends came over one night and took the tires off of it and put them in the tree. haha They tried it again a few weeks later but my brother saw them from his bedroom window and opened in put his .30-.30 out of it and racked the lever action. It does make a distinguishable sound. They ran like the dickens I guess. They never bothered with the car again after that. LOL
I enjoy watching your channel! Lots of rides I would like to own! But, there is one very nit-picky thing I would like to point out if you don't mind. That is the way you pronounce the name of the famous intake manifold company. I have been in the automotive business since the late sixties, and I have heard the pronunciation you use many times. So I understand it's almost become part of the national lexicon. But I imagine if you asked Vic (if he is still even alive,) he would tell you his last name is: ED-EL-BROCK. Just like it's spelled. I have worked with a number of Edelbrock sales reps and they always pronounced it as I have written it. More of an F.Y.I. than anything else! Thanks for the cool channel!
I appreciate it CK! I do destroy a lot of pronunciations in these videos partly to being blamed on being an old country boy from the deep south with bad habits in pronunciations along battling a light stroke from a couple years ago along coupled with a sincere lack of knowledge on some items. Also compiling and editing these videos takes about 8 hours. After going back through the video time after time to make sure that it is at it's best, I will still find errors and then have to re-edit it all over again, At some point of trying to meet my TH-cam posting deadline that I set for myself I will get frustrated and just let the error slide and take my leg stripings in the comments! I am doing better though! I was originally pronouncing it many videos before as "EL-DER-BROCK" and in this video I pronounced it as "ED-DEL-BROCK"! All criticism is good criticism and I appreciate any that I receive in the comments! Thank you for being a viewer and I appreciate you commenting and your insights! Will all videos be perfect? I don't think so, so be ready when I slay those words because it is for sure to come! LOL!
Dagmires (not sure of spelling) it had something to do with the shape of her boobs. I can't remember the young lady's name but seems she was rather famous. 😀✌❤
