@beefsupreme4083 It would be worthwhile to (1) pull the seats out (2) powerwash and vacuum everything (3) put foam and fabric on the frames (you might have to do some wire repairs), put fabric that matches the seats on the door cards, and run over all the paint with some compound and wax. You'd spend probably $350-$500 altogether, and it'd be beautiful. Your biggest expenses would probably be WD40, polishing compound, fabric, thread and glue. (Elbow grease is free, right?)
BTW, it's really great that thanks to the success of your channel, your father was able to retire to join you full time... and you can tell when a man has retired as they no longer sport a wrist watch.
The camera operator has dad figured out, not falling for the old snake scare. I like all the steps you take before staring the motor, a lot of the channels don't. My family thinks I have lost it, because I was cheering you on when it started up. Another good video.
I had a 53 in 1970 and loved it. Like a tank. You took me back thru memory lane. I was working for chevron at the time. Put new atlas plycron tires bias ply and wow what a car. Paid $300 with 49,000 one owner miles. Same color. Thanks for the memory.
Just watched Scott and the agents over at Cold War Motors get a 1951 Ford Victoria v-8 flathead running , from being seized up to purring. This Plymouth is right up his alley! Excellent video as always. Cheers....
I really respect what you guys do keep those old girls running please I wish I could do the same as you guys y'all are awesome keep the love for these babies alive 😎😎😎😎😎😎
I bought a 54 savoy (brown over cream) in 1969 for $50 from a guy who got drafted. and got a rebuilt short block from Sears (very inexpensive). These engines (dodge and plymouth) were popular with water pumps on farms. Finally junked it in 1973 a year after graduating high school.
An old hot rodders trick is to use an 8 volt battery instead of 6 volt. Works perfectly with all 6v starters and 6v generators and gives you more cranking power. Great to see you saving these old cars and getting them on the road again.
Absolutely corect, BUT, you do need to re-adjust your voltage regulator, or else the generator will not charge it, as generator voltage must be slightly higher than battery voltage, or else battery will try to "motor" the generator.
@@michaelbenardo5695 I've never had a problem with that. With the original set-up and voltage regulator it will charge as high as 10V without damaging any gauges or any other components. Maybe if you were to drive cross country you may have a problem however most classic cars are driven less than 100 miles per month, and it works just fine.

Michael your optimism and positivity is addictive! Love that you daughter is helping with the filming she looks like a natural … thanks for all your content
Really enjoyed this one! My high school buddy got a "restored" '53 as a graduation gift (repaint and seat covers...) in 1977 and he drive it from Kansas to the east coast twice! Well built cars! Please keep going on this one! Thanks-
50's Mopars are underrated collector/classic cars. I've had my 53 Plymouth Cranbrook coupe for over 20 years. It's evolved into a drag and drive car. The newest remodel is being documented on the 53 Plymouth Cranbrook channel. enjoy the process!
Michael and his dad breathe life back into yet another sad looking pre loved car, I always imagine the first owner driving it away from the dealership when first new, thank you guys, looking forward to more on this one 👏👍🙂
This video gave me a little smile and a boost to my ego, especially when she popped off and started! I also came along in 1954 so it was nice to see something my vintage still had the ability to run again, with a bit of help from you and your Dad! Awesome!!!!!
I am always amazed how much manpower, time etc humans spent to build all kind of different machines, especially American auto industry for market competition; . One time this Buick Plymouth was seating brand new somewhere on dealership yard and forgotten in the forest for 37 years. Now it is Interesting to see her back to life again. Thank you showing you talent good father and son🔨🔧🛠
Pulling the plugs and checking them out they were "NOT BAD, NOT BAD, NOT BAD" had to poke fun a little bit lol you guys keep it up, your doing "NOT BAD" 😋
I agree, your camera operator did a great job. That engine looks so familiar as my parents had a 1951 Plymouth flat head 6 fast back, 2dr. We moved to Fl in '56 and it was used for dad to go salt water wade fishing. Was not long before the floor board rusted right out. I have watched other youtubers doing restorations, but your channel is the best. Glad I subscribed.
Great video, guys. My first car was a 1946 Plymouth in 1956. I didn't know the first thing about cars; didn't even own a pair of pliers. My Dad had left when I was 12 years old and I was 19, then. That was a good car and it served me well until I could get something better.
If you cannot find a rear window at a reasonable cost, consider turning it into an Aussie style Ute. Take a tape measure to the junkyard and find the back of a rusted out pick-up cab that "fits."
I didn't think you'd get that started with no compression in most of the cylinders. It's amazing that pouring that honey in the cylinders helped those valves seat. I'm impressed.
Allways a pleasure too watch your work on those old cars ! I realy hope that you will make a video with you trying too start and clean up the old Renaut 4 CW sitting left off the Plymouth :-) Thanks so much for shearing all this good stuff :-) Geetings from Denmark :-)
Gonna share a misconception many people who fool with treasures that we do, is oil appearence. When oil is looked at, it appears to clean fresh oil or having an oil change just before being parked. As engines set for a long time the additive package and contaminents will drift down from oil. That what people will call it sludge and resides at the bottom of the pan. I've drained oil from an oldies and use heavy wire with a bend and poke it in the drain opening wiggle it around and most of the time you get sludge. I've known of guys who've gotten um running only to have a knock develope. That's caused by pickup being a bit submerged in said material. I learned this hard way on a 37 Chevy. Only took bout half mile to start getting noisey. Course it wasJust a helpful suggestion, no criticism.
Thank you for bringing that out! 😃 Good point and I completely agree with you! This is one reason we always drain and change the oil before running an engine that has been sitting this long 🙂 In cases with these older ones, they seem to always have a drain plug big enough to stick your finger up in and feel around too!
Your little girl does really well with the camera. I'm impressed. Also, you are one of my definite favorite TH-cam channels.. The run to the garage and back hilarious.. I like even after you learn its positive ground, you're so careful putting on the normally positive terminal to the negative waiting for an arc... literally laughing out loud. I replayed it three times. laughed every time.
Loved watching this Episode, I just picked up a 1956 Dodge Coronet from a field where it has been sitting for ~50 Years.. So was neat seeing you all get that 6 Cylinder going, only difference on mine is that they switched to 12v+ mid 55, so I can actually deal with a 12 volt system.. Pulling the engine out and going through it before trying to get it to run though, pretty rusty in the Valves and didn't want anything to break, but it does rotate also, which is amazing for sitting in a field for 50 years. Thanks for the great content, and would love to see what you all do with this one.
Thank you so much for making this video and working on this car in particular. I am probably going to pick up a 1954 Plymouth Belvedere tomorrow. I have learned so much about what I need to do with this car when I get it. So very helpful to me is the fact that it is a 6 V positive ground system. I had no idea that these systems even existed until I saw your video.
Excellent video Budget Buildz Mike :) plus dad also sound of that 1954 Plymouth Savoy car plus amazing 6 volt positive ground and is all original there too! Also sounds on engine like my late Uncle Bill JR old 1950 Cockshutt COOP 40 43 hp with 60 torque 6 cylinder motor gas farm tractor was 6 volt positive ground to and lots memories of too ! Motor was 4.0 litre 235 Cubic Inches size 6 cylinder 1 barrel carb Zenith type updraft ! Yes is had honey comb core copper rad plus rad cap too and smoke on cold starts too Lol! But how we clean up smoke problems add 1 gallon Desiel fuel on on 3/4 of 91 octane gas and keep motor cool on long day of work of 12 hours!
Hey! I have a 54 Plymouth Savoy! My is the two door car. She is so much fun to work on and so simple to fix things. The rear window may be a challenge and a bit pricey but there a some still out there.Well great job on getting her running and hope to see alot more!!😊
No one brings em back as far as you guys. Ive binge watched every ep. If anyone knows of another channel that isnt just a roadkill/vgg rehash please lemme know.
Just love your indestructible optimism. To me it looks like a heap of iron that longs to be reunited with mother earth, but I'm pretty sure that before long you'll have pistons moving and smoke emerging from the stack! (and I type this before you've even turned the engine over! 😎).
I follow many channels that restore/rebuilld old iron, but yours is one of the few I look forward to get a notification about! Awesome content and the thing I like most about it is that you and your Dad try your best to maintain the originallity of the vehicles you're working on. Cheers from Argentina!
What a great birthday gift: another Plymouth coming back to life!😁 That new camera aide was really in depth and was unflappable when the fake snake joke happened.
Shame it was left in the weather 🌦️ my dad had a black 55 Plymouth with red trim . In Newcastle NSW 🇦🇺. Man that was such a nice car . Some what fast video guy may have a back window 🪟 🤔🤔🤔. Please continue the journey on the Plymouth 👍🏻🇦🇺💯⛽️.
My father and I recently bought a 1954 Plymouth Savoy almost exactly like this one! Only difference is that mine has the overdrive transmission, but still, this is an incredible find! Especially considering that y'all have more-or-less everything on the car. Good luck with this one! They are certainly a challenge.
@@gregorymalchuk272 I'm not exactly sure, being that she's been sitting in the driveway and I haven't gotten to test everything out. But, being that this is a car from the early fifties, I would estimate an extra 2-3 mile per gallon.
Nice car. You Americans have such a fantastic assortment of wonderful cars siting around just waiting to be found and brought back to life and people like yourself and your dad who are willing to do it. Well done guy's, your true champions.
Hey, this might be out of subject but I've just noticed on back you got a Renault 4cv. Well since I'm French I'd be honored if you need help for ressourcing stuffs on it ;-) Beside that I've been watching your channel for years now and I enjoy the difference with your channel leading projects from "will it run" to stunning machines than most youtubers putting them back dying in their own backyard. Joss.
Nice!!! I dunno, prolly pull the head just for GP and do a good cleaning n refresh. Would be cool to see it back on the road though with patina preserved of course.
Our family car in the early sixties in Australia was a 1954 Plymouth Belvidere. It towed a heavy old caravan across Australia in 1966. Finally mum demanded a new car when she had to bash the starter with a hammer every time.
All American Classics up in Washington had one of these for sale last week. Not sure if it's still around, but it was destined for their crusher despite still having tons of good parts left on it. Might be worth a call if you need parts.
@@BudgetBuildz Thanks! Not to be a bother but a super quick update on Porsche would be awesome!!! I remember when you brought it home! Absolutely a legendary Car!!!! God bless you and family!!!
This one is worthy of a full restoration IMO. Great job.
@beefsupreme4083 It would be worthwhile to (1) pull the seats out (2) powerwash and vacuum everything (3) put foam and fabric on the frames (you might have to do some wire repairs), put fabric that matches the seats on the door cards, and run over all the paint with some compound and wax. You'd spend probably $350-$500 altogether, and it'd be beautiful. Your biggest expenses would probably be WD40, polishing compound, fabric, thread and glue. (Elbow grease is free, right?)
We had this vintage Plymouth when I was a kid. Replaced by a 1955 Plymouth station wagon. Then a 1959 Station wagon. Finally a mid 1960's Fury.
The camera crew deserves a bonus in their allowance this week
BTW, it's really great that thanks to the success of your channel, your father was able to retire to join you full time... and you can tell when a man has retired as they no longer sport a wrist watch.
You're correct sir, I just realized reading this that I hardly ever wear a watch anymore after wearing one religiously for 40 years!!👍
Oh you don't know watch guys. They retire they get a BIGGER watch!
I just retired and bought 3 watches ....
The camera operator has dad figured out, not falling for the old snake scare. I like all the steps you take before staring the motor, a lot of the channels don't. My family thinks I have lost it, because I was cheering you on when it started up. Another good video.

Your new camera operator did a great job with some nice new angles. Hopefully she’ll get some more assignments! Great video.
Some the old Mopars were
"Positive " ground and the wheel lugs are left hand threads on one side.
She actually did pretty good, I've definitely seen worse from adults on TH-cam!
Yes sir I totally agree
I have a set of nice leather bucket seats and a bench. You can have for that if you want to come and get them in Taylorsville north carolina
