I just picked the 3 random winners for a B'laster T-shirt / can of Multimax Lube. If you don't see a check mark next to my name and a heart on your comment then its a scammer impersonating me. I keep blocking them and they keep making new accounts. Anyway... 24 hrs to comment back and claim otherwise it moves on to the next randomly selected winner. Good luck! BTW, merch link stopped working... Check out NNKH hats here: teespring.com/nnkh-hat?pid=763&cid=103367
Dry gas or isopropyl alcohol should take that sap off. It works with pine pitch but it does take some elbow grease. Use it along with a plastic razor blade. Gus has got to be one of the cutest puppies I’ve seen.
I really admire this guy's mechanical talents. I'm disabled, so I have to live vicariously through these old-school mechanics. I applaud their efforts to save old cars that are parts of our automotive history. Each vehicle is a time capsule in itself.
I missed part of this episode ….Did you start from Penn in the Ford , or from Vegas ? A guy could learn from watching your adventures….I have been in most of the places you were on your trip from KCMO where I was born, many many years ago, to the west…. Thanks I am signing up ! 🤠👍🏻
So amazing to see this car. In 1974 my father bought his first New car. A 74' Elite all white, burgundy interior. Dad was 39 I was 12! Never forget that new car smell. Four kids in back. Mom & Dad up front. Pittsburgh! Amazing car! Great memories! Thx!
Hey Chris, I'm from Germany and I envy you that you have so much freedom in America. The great landscape and the nice people you met. And hats off to your wife who is doing this road trip with you. It was a great video. thanks for that. Greetings Timo from Germany Hamburg
Hi Timo. I'm wondering which aspects of Chris' journeys stand out as signifying the differences in Freedom between USA and Germany. I'm not from USA although I do live in North America and, though I've never been to Europe, I don't think of Germany as a Country that's strict on personal freedoms. Is it really that different?
This episode has to be one of the best youtube videos I have ever seen. The content was fantastic and it was filled with amazing footage. Super job. I love the channel and its always great to see Jen and Gus. You three make a fantastic team. Keep up the good work.
yeah i never heard of this before and it randomly popped up. amazing camera/sound for a couple without a crew. great content traveling. go to one of cleetus's events next so we can see you hit big time.
Dear intrepid 56 👍👌👏 I totally agree! I wanted to comment similar but fortunately you already did all the writing work. ;-) 😁 I absolutely love their cute little puppy dog. Best regards luck and health.
I’m laid off for the winter and have been a bit depressed, But watching these videos has given me motivation to get outside and start working on my own things. Big fan of all the videos you upload man
That was such an amazing series. I definitely want to see that car detailed, I thought you might get to it on the trip. It was such a good transformation from neglected desert car to a highway cruiser. You've taken the best parts of TH-cam fly and drives and mixed in some really compelling footage and put out an amazing product. No wonder your channel is growing so fast.
I started out today with you in an old ambulance in Florida and ended up in Las Vegas. It's been the best vacation I could get for this old man. I feel like I saw America on the way back. Thanks for a great day of video! I love that dog! Go Gus.
Chris and Jenn enjoyed watching all on-site repairs made and all your interesting stops on the road. Keep on keeping on finding and saving these neglected rides.
Absolutley superb to watch, glorious scenes of America, the Santa Fe, Grand Canyon and so much more blended with amazing well-shot footage on the ground and high up from drone. Loved the holiday vacation breakouts and holiday rest snaps. And little Gus kept us entertained. Amazed with Jen's patience, not one harsh word for the master mechanic on this simply amazing journey of ride and repair. Should be on main-stream TV - I would pay to watch!
I personally consider this to be one of if not the greatest TH-cam video. This is really what this platform was meant for. If this video doesn't depict what life should be in a nutshell then my aspirations are lame. Thanks for sharing this with us and props on the amazing camera work. Truly a journey.
I appreciate the fact you are tenacious about getting old cars on the road.An yes I do use PB blaster,awesome stuff.Started using the stuff at work ,now I use it home.
I watched your oxygen sensor removal video along time ago and then my father in law turned me onto your to channel. I've been watching nonstop for the past several weeks and have given up normal TV. I'm a mechanic's son so I appreciate everything you show and describe. Hour and 20 minute video went by very fast. Very impressed with how brave you are with what you attempt. (and how carefree Jen is with everything).
Things brings back memories of my childhood, we used to do stuff like this when i was a kid..my family would travel around and see all the sites up and down the east coast every year..thank you for bringing back the memories Chris and Jen and Gus..
Love this series. Your lady is awesome, your puppy is awesome (I'm in complete love with the dog), and the car is pretty sweet too. You're living the life guys, you'll remember this adventure for the rest of your lives. The longest road trip I ever took in my 1975 Torino was 350 miles or so. And that was 25 years ago. You've got big brass ones to nurse that car 2500 miles in the here and now!
Those old cars wiht no computurs R less likley ta brak down. You cood prolly drive that than ta tha moon and back, and have sex with tha hot blond in tha back seat. My daddy screwed mah mama in tha back seat of one of those torinos to make me and then I wuz brn in tha same seat on tha way to tha hospitla.
First time ever on this channel. This series was so enjoyable to watch. Beautifully filmed. Relaxing pace. Wonderful scenery. Amazing to watch your skills. Gus was awesome. Jen is a real keeper!! What a treasure! Can’t wait for the next one.
I loved every moment of both videos, well paced and the right amount of everything. The scenery is just stunning and seeing two young, good looking, healthy people enjoying life like it was still the 70's is just peachy! I feel like I took a holiday in 3 hours. Really, just keep knocking them out :o)
I’m a South Jersey boy and I have to say that this is one of the best videos I’ve seen on TH-cam ever. It was fantastic. I watch plenty of TH-cam and this video totally rocked I felt like I was with you. Both part 1 and part 2 perfect combo of cars and vlogs, and vacation. Great job keep them up.
I owned and drove a red 1974 Ford Gran Torino my last year of high school and first few years of college...I LOVED THAT CAR. When I saw the title of your first half of this revival-drive-rescue, it caught my attention and that is how I discovered your channel. Both videos were VERY interesting, entertaining, fun and cool. Kudos to you, Jen, Gus and the car (shall we call her, Agnes?)...all four of you were a great team, great mix and an integral part of the whole two-part classic American automotive mini-movie you created. Your explanations of what you needed to replace, why and how you fixed all of the issues was great, what a teaching moment for younger people and older people who may not be very knowledgeable about cars and auto mechanics. I loved it, please do more like it featuring early American iron from the 1950's-1976 or so. Thanks for the great content! (Like many Americans, I have watched Derek's 'Vice Grip Garage' videos since the very beginning BECAUSE OF his revival-drive-it-home adventure videos.)
Loving the Torino content. My grandfather owned a 74 Grand Torino and my favorite show was Starsky and Hutch. So when me and him would hang out my favorite part was riding in the Torino. My grandfather was a giant of a man, specially for his generation. He would sit with the seat all the way back with his head leaning to either side because of his height and his knees along both sides of the column.
That must have been a tight fit for your grandfather. I have a 72 Gran Torino and I am only 5 ft 10 inches. With the seat all the way back I am still wanting for more room. His probably had a power seat which gives you a lot more leeway. My 77 Cougar which is basically the same car had a power seat and that really helped a lot. They are beautiful cars.
Замечательное путешествие! Умудриться в час с небольшим вместить столько событий как с автомобилем так и с поездкой и все это красиво снять,это просто недюжий талант! Спасибо,очень интересно! Вообще джанкярды удивительные места...время там словно останавливается и в одном месте перед твоими глазами проходят целые эпохи...и ты можешь к ним прикоснуться...Да и сам торино,словно некая машина времени...стоит не попадать в кадр атрибутам современной эпохи и он словно переносит тебя в прошлое...Получил от просмотра огромное удовольствие.
Love watching old (older cars) get saved! The Torino ran great!! Pretty awesome!! You need to put the original low profile wiper blades on so the wipers can recess park again.
This was entertainment through and through due to the No Nonsense. It was grounded with no gimmicks or cavorting. Please don't change. Great trio having fun. Thanks.
I enjoyed watching your cross-country Gran Torino adventure. There was all the beautiful scenery and of course I had to show my wife and daughter all the little clips of Gus running around and doing his thing! I'm glad you made it home safe!
First time seeing your show, i love the classics. From the first minute to the last i was completely entertained, no boring spots whatsoever. The editing was outstanding (professional?) I admire the bumper to bumper knowledge you have on auto repair. I'll have to find your past videos, looking forward to your next one. Your beautiful lady and Gus was icing on the cake. A new subscriber.
Coming from Manchester UK i can honestly say i have loved this video more than all your other video's . The scenery , the old small towns , winding roads , old Americana , camping by the lakes etc has left me in awe of such a lovely country once you get out of the major cities. Thank you so much for sharing
Poor Jen was so stressed out 😰 lol 🤣 she is like get the dog 🐕. Gus is having the time of his life. Love your Chanel dude very informative and interesting. Zero profanity love it 💗
I absolutely love this series of videos with the Torino!! I see so many similarities with the 76 4 door Ltd I had. The trip back looks like it was so fun.
Fantastic! That was a GREAT road trip! Thanks so much for bringing us along... a real treat! Would love to see more of this type of video. Actually anything you do and share is fun to watch! Thanks again and have a great weekend!
Loved the trip! Definitely do this again. Loved the drone footage, and your glamorous wife didn't hurt the video any. Makes me wish I were young again and could have adventures like this.
Such an awesome trip. Thanks for taking us along. Looking forward to more of these vacation type of videos. Thanks Chris, Jen, and of course Gus. Best wishes, Deb
I wouldn’t have minded a part 3 of this video even if it was just 1000 miles of nothing. It was awesome to see all the interesting places you guys stopped even if it was just for the night. Also at the end of the video that rear side panel in the sun looks real good from where dalton did the little detail. That car would probably clean up really well.
Discovered your content today....watched both parts of this story today. Better than a TV show. Quite entertaining and had to watch to the conclusion. Everyone is telling you your skills as a mechanic are off the charts. I'll tell you that you have the highest confidence level of any mechanic I have ever known. You and Jen make a great team too. Love the drone footage. Mark C, Northampton, PA
For the fuel vapor lock problem, I've gone to a wrecking yard back in the day & found an old power steering cooler like the one already on your power steering pump & found a place under the car near the fuel line. Close to the fuel pump is best. Route the fuel thru it to cool the fuel. If you can mount it where air can hit it while being shielded from damage it will stop vapor lock, a common problem back in the day in Texas. Just showing my age here (I still know how to set points...).
This was an absolute masterpiece video! The car content plus the sight seeing and camping, you guys are living life for sure! Plus little Gus is just the coolest.
Not much beats a road trip across the USA. So much to see. I’ve done it a few times. It’s AWESOME that you have so much knowledge about automobiles and can keep ‘em rolling down the road. Blessings y’all.
Nice to see someone in the local area ( in Vineland NJ) doing a channel like this. Everyone else is in Midwest of Out west. Great episode, 1st time viewer. Did a similar trip once. In 1984 from Vegas to Tampa in a 70 Buick Skylark 4door. It was different, for sure.
First timer on your channel and I'm hooked.. Retired aviation mechanic, I'm a gear head myself and I always enjoy seeing old cars being brought back to life. Looking forward to your next post.
We used to typically wrap the fuel lines at the engine area with tin foil to solve vapor lock issues. It worked in the 60s. Great video for a trip with a 48 year old Ford. If you could've resolved the fuel delivery issues at the beginning, then your trip back home would've been almost trouble-free!
From what I understand it mostly starts down where the fuel pump is mounted at the Block and it starts boiling in the fuel pump. So going with it and electric pump seems to be the most popular upgrade
Hi I love your videos Ive been in the trade for 54yrs (now retired) and you bring back so many memories !! From Del ( based in Scotland ) Take care Regards
That was a damned blast, and there is no way I could have ever done such a thing, making it just that much better. Jen is such a trooper, there is no way in hell that my wife would do that with me. Loved the camping stuff and Gus, he is such a gas. Thanks to both of you. HOpe there was some fun in all of that for both of you. Gus will not ever be the Gus he was before the trip, he's better.
What a fun trip, hopefully you do more video's like this...it was very entertaining. Glad you know so much about cars because most people would have quit a long time ago and you just kept taking things in stride and kept right on going. Love to see people keeping these older cars on the road, wish more people would do the same.
Sir , I thank you and your wife for letting us into your lives and as far as I go, being able to live vicariously through you as a multi stroke survivor, Helps more than you know. I felt as though I was traveling with friends. Especially because I'm a former wrench turner myself, and a high school friend of mine had that same exact car. However his was black in and out. We camped out in it often. Usually near some fishing hole we found. Grabbed a 12 pack and a pack of hotdogs and a dozen donuts and between that and the trout we caught, poor man's surf and turf over a campfire was our breakfast, lunch and dinner, lol. We were good for two or three days. Unless we ran out of beer, but that was just a quick trip down the road to restock, lol. You guys rock, keep it up while your young. Cherish every moment. You definitely have a new subscriber.
...ain't that the truth🙂hey Pete was that you up river from our camp back in the early '80s? Edit: p.s. ....almost forgot to say, "I feel ya brother on the multi-stroke survival wherein I had hoped to get back more functionality but this second stroke* has cut my stanima to 30-40%. Fortunately I'm still moving around pretty well, best to you Pete. * four years between the two events.
@@claztube And to you my friend! Thank you for the reply. Yes, there's a very good chance it was, LOL. I hear ya on the stam loss but keep fightin with that 60 or so percent.. according to Docs I should have kicked it two years ago..Borrowed time I guess.
I just came across your channel. Your laid back family style of recording is quite refreshing. I felt like I was on the trip back from Vegas with you three. The low key tempo and simplistic way you went about repairing the Torino along the way was almost zen quality. Thank you all for the trip, now I don't have to vacation the rest of the year. Jive Gus a scratch for me.
Only one word to describe your journey..... EPIC!! You kids sure looked as though you had a blast, living the dream. Great video, roll on the next👍👍🏴
Thanks Chris and Jen , I thought it was awesome to get to know you and Gus a little better with a road trip. It’s always cool to see things fixed on the fly. You guys are great together and hope to see more. Peace and love
Great video. Interesting filmmaking, good mechanical content, great editing, cute dog and lady, non annoying personality. Appreciate it. Keep up the good work.
This popped up in my recommended list, now an hour and half later, going to watch part 1. This was so enjoyable to watch. Great little journey with great camera work. Loved the junk yards and salvage yard, not too many left around these days. Your gal is a gem dude. So laid back and fun to be around.
Great to follow you two and the dog on the trip, lots of nice features. But the best is that you both have so excellent personality. You are two absolutely wonderful people. Take care.👍
That's a decently CLEAN old ride! And those dished aluminum wheels are great... Some of my favorite stock wheels ever, on any car. They look absolutely incredible when they're polished out and even better when they're chromed! Nice find!
Awesome series on this Gran Torino. Love your channel and your tenacity on never giving up on situations that are lost causes. Would love to see part three of the jeep restoration.
This has been an awesome trip. Thanks for taking us along! I would love to see more road trip and fix-along-the-way videos like this. I am definitely going to check out Bullhead City, AZ. That place looked amazing!
That was an amazing trip! Awesome to see the old girl made it home safely! You and Jen are living your best life with these awesome adventures! Thanks for sharing!
WATCH OUT! For the scammer commenting back to people saying they won a prize. They are impersonating Me by using my profile picture and trying to scam you out of money. I do not have a telegram account and you did not win any prizes. When I do the Blaster t-shirt winners, I will comment back to you from this account that has a check mark next to it and I'll ask you to reach out to me on Facebook or instagram.
Thanks for the heads up I have an idea it was a scam keep up the great work on the videos he's doing an amazing job with the photography it's so professional
For the guy that runs a lawn mower carburetor on a V8 engine and gets 40 miles per gallon it doesn't have much power or it has diminished amounts of power because of the decreased amount of fuel but increase amount of air flow through a small Channel makes a strong interior effect vaporizes carbureting the fuel better than a regular carburetor can do. 40 mpg!
Great show Chris! Love the inclusion of your passengers it really keeps it flowing and enjoyable to watch, Jennifer and Gus are good sports. I appreciate both the work that went into keeping the car moving forward and the production of the show. Stay cool!
Gus has won me over, I'm not really a Dachshund fan but he is a character having the time of his life. Love the content, I think Chris taught MacGyver everything he knows he's one of he most resourceful mechanics I've seen.
Wow, when i first started watching this video, I thought you might be very little educated on mechanics stuff. Boy, was i wrong, You are very talented at analyzing mechanical issues and fixing them! I thought wow, that is really risky going across the country with such an old vehicle where anything could go wrong, but you fixed everything without really being stranded! Nice job and video. Gus and Jen were very cute and patient!
This is my first time watching one of your videos and enjoyed it immensely. The challenge of going and picking up an unknown car and all its issues, addressing as the appear while driving it home, made of a great automotive adventure. Recommend doing more as opportunities arise. Keep em coming.
just found this channel, and subscribed, really like how real you keep the content, from the fixing, to the way you are, bare hands, no shirt cause it's hot in the desert, even getting to the undies at the lake, cause that's what most of us would really do bro, like most of us real people that watched this video, finally something real, thank you for taking the time to post this, hello from Miami, FL
New subscriber here. I loved this series! Seeing you do all of the roadside repairs and all of the great camera work! Thank you both for taking us along for the ride! Great content.
I just picked the 3 random winners for a B'laster T-shirt / can of Multimax Lube. If you don't see a check mark next to my name and a heart on your comment then its a scammer impersonating me. I keep blocking them and they keep making new accounts. Anyway... 24 hrs to comment back and claim otherwise it moves on to the next randomly selected winner. Good luck!

Dry gas or isopropyl alcohol should take that sap off. It works with pine pitch but it does take some elbow grease. Use it along with a plastic razor blade. Gus has got to be one of the cutest puppies I’ve seen.
If you can't sell a video without a chick's ass hanging out in the thumbnail you're not worth watching don't care how shiny your toolbox is
Hi thanks ! I saw on my mail that i won something.
@@miman-ck9jv That was a scammer
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow all right thanks, get that car cleaned up 👍👍

The smile on Jen's face when you fixed that AC was awesome, you guys must have been dying without it.
I am amazed at how the pioneers 150 years ago walked across the plains and how tough they were
Usually do that cheaper for a rim than a front/rear end alot of cases
I missed part of this episode ….Did you start from Penn in the Ford , or from Vegas ? A guy could learn from watching your adventures….I have been in most of the places you were on your trip from KCMO where I was born, many many years ago, to the west…. Thanks I am signing up ! 🤠👍🏻

Ehrm, what freedom do Americans have that we don't? Except gun laws.
Just a bit of dirr in fuel line or tank that blocked filter
What a bunch of crap people write, unbelievable. Real bucketheads.

First time seeing your show, i love the classics. From the first minute to the last i was completely entertained, no boring spots whatsoever. The editing was outstanding (professional?) I admire the bumper to bumper knowledge you have on auto repair. I'll have to find your past videos, looking forward to your next one. Your beautiful lady and Gus was icing on the cake. A new subscriber.
Coming from Manchester UK i can honestly say i have loved this video more than all your other video's . The scenery , the old small towns , winding roads , old Americana , camping by the lakes etc has left me in awe of such a lovely country once you get out of the major cities. Thank you so much for sharing
Poor Jen was so stressed out 😰 lol 🤣 she is like get the dog 🐕. Gus is having the time of his life. Love your Chanel dude very informative and interesting.
Zero profanity love it 💗
This was a really great series. Thanks for taking the time to put it all together. Not an easy task!
I am glad I found your channel. This is an epic trip Gus and Jen are troopers.
Hey love your channel I'd love to get a Blaster t shirt 3x please .....loved the video on the trashliner !!
I fricken LOVE your field trips! Many of us are struggling with whatever and your vids make us happy!
I absolutely love this series of videos with the Torino!! I see so many similarities with the 76 4 door Ltd I had. The trip back looks like it was so fun.
The bag in the oil pan is friggen brilliant. One of those "why haven't I thought of that!" moments. RockOn and keep up the great episodes. 👍
It’s a good idea if you’ve painting with a roller as well
This was an awesome series, I love seeing younger people keeping old cars alive. cheers 🍻
What an amazing adventure! Thanks for taking us along for the entire ride! ❤
Fantastic! That was a GREAT road trip! Thanks so much for bringing us along... a real treat! Would love to see more of this type of video. Actually anything you do and share is fun to watch! Thanks again and have a great weekend!
When you have the knowledge and are able to apply it. Anything is possible. Very inspiring video. Kudos on taking life by the horns.
Loved the trip! Definitely do this again. Loved the drone footage, and your glamorous wife didn't hurt the video any. Makes me wish I were young again and could have adventures like this.
I really appreciate that you guys take time to enjoy the journey and find time to stop and smell the roses along the way.
Your skills as a mechanic sure helped on this trip. Another great video. Would enjoy seeing more journeys like this on your channel.
Thanks for taking us along! It was a ton of fun watching this one!
Such an awesome trip. Thanks for taking us along. Looking forward to more of these vacation type of videos. Thanks Chris, Jen, and of course Gus. Best wishes, Deb
What I absolutely love about the channel
Is how cool Gus is. The couple is very cool. They seem to never stress car breakdowns. Very cool videos.
I wouldn’t have minded a part 3 of this video even if it was just 1000 miles of nothing. It was awesome to see all the interesting places you guys stopped even if it was just for the night. Also at the end of the video that rear side panel in the sun looks real good from where dalton did the little detail. That car would probably clean up really well.
Discovered your content today....watched both parts of this story today. Better than a TV show. Quite entertaining and had to watch to the conclusion. Everyone is telling you your skills as a mechanic are off the charts. I'll tell you that you have the highest confidence level of any mechanic I have ever known. You and Jen make a great team too. Love the drone footage. Mark C, Northampton, PA
Very treu!
For the fuel vapor lock problem, I've gone to a wrecking yard back in the day & found an old power steering cooler like the one already on your power steering pump & found a place under the car near the fuel line. Close to the fuel pump is best. Route the fuel thru it to cool the fuel. If you can mount it where air can hit it while being shielded from damage it will stop vapor lock, a common problem back in the day in Texas. Just showing my age here (I still know how to set points...).
Me too.
Great video! You reminded me how great America really is. Thanks Chris, Jen, and Gus.
Really enjoyed the video,from South Africa,love the country and open spaces.
That roadtrip was simply epic! Thanks for bringing us along!
This was an absolute masterpiece video! The car content plus the sight seeing and camping, you guys are living life for sure! Plus little Gus is just the coolest.
I agree Paul
Not much beats a road trip across the USA. So much to see. I’ve done it a few times. It’s AWESOME that you have so much knowledge about automobiles and can keep ‘em rolling down the road. Blessings y’all.
The relief on Jens' face upon reaching home was really something.😊
Nice to see someone in the local area ( in Vineland NJ) doing a channel like this. Everyone else is in Midwest of Out west. Great episode, 1st time viewer. Did a similar trip once. In 1984 from Vegas to Tampa in a 70 Buick Skylark 4door. It was different, for sure.
First timer on your channel and I'm hooked.. Retired aviation mechanic, I'm a gear head myself and I always enjoy seeing old cars being brought back to life. Looking forward to your next post.
We used to typically wrap the fuel lines at the engine area with tin foil to solve vapor lock issues. It worked in the 60s. Great video for a trip with a 48 year old Ford. If you could've resolved the fuel delivery issues at the beginning, then your trip back home would've been almost trouble-free!
From what I understand it mostly starts down where the fuel pump is mounted at the Block and it starts boiling in the fuel pump. So going with it and electric pump seems to be the most popular upgrade
Hi I love your videos Ive been in the trade for 54yrs (now retired) and you bring back so many memories !! From Del ( based in Scotland ) Take care Regards
That was a damned blast, and there is no way I could have ever done such a thing, making it just that much better. Jen is such a trooper, there is no way in hell that my wife would do that with me. Loved the camping stuff and Gus, he is such a gas. Thanks to both of you. HOpe there was some fun in all of that for both of you. Gus will not ever be the Gus he was before the trip, he's better.
Two idiots working on a shit box 1970s ford.
Yes a moron like you would be entertained by this.
@ThunderAppeal you're so successful, cool and edgy. Those are words that you will never hear someone say to you.
What a fun trip, hopefully you do more video's like this...it was very entertaining. Glad you know so much about cars because most people would have quit a long time ago and you just kept taking things in stride and kept right on going. Love to see people keeping these older cars on the road, wish more people would do the same.
Sir , I thank you and your wife for letting us into your lives and as far as I go, being able to live vicariously through you as a multi stroke survivor, Helps more than you know. I felt as though I was traveling with friends. Especially because I'm a former wrench turner myself, and a high school friend of mine had that same exact car. However his was black in and out. We camped out in it often. Usually near some fishing hole we found. Grabbed a 12 pack and a pack of hotdogs and a dozen donuts and between that and the trout we caught, poor man's surf and turf over a campfire was our breakfast, lunch and dinner, lol. We were good for two or three days. Unless we ran out of beer, but that was just a quick trip down the road to restock, lol. You guys rock, keep it up while your young. Cherish every moment. You definitely have a new subscriber.
...ain't that the truth🙂hey Pete was that you up river from our camp back in the early '80s?
Edit: p.s.
....almost forgot to say,
"I feel ya brother on the multi-stroke survival wherein I had hoped to get back more functionality but this second stroke* has cut my stanima to 30-40%.
Fortunately I'm still moving around pretty well, best to you Pete.
* four years between the two events.
@@claztube And to you my friend! Thank you for the reply. Yes, there's a very good chance it was, LOL. I hear ya on the stam loss but keep fightin with that 60 or so percent.. according to Docs I should have kicked it two years ago..Borrowed time I guess.
I just came across your channel. Your laid back family style of recording is quite refreshing. I felt like I was on the trip back from Vegas with you three. The low key tempo and simplistic way you went about repairing the Torino along the way was almost zen quality. Thank you all for the trip, now I don't have to vacation the rest of the year. Jive Gus a scratch for me.
Such an epic cross country trip, thanks for sharing all your automotive knowledge and taking us with you. I especially enjoyed the train footage!
Only one word to describe your journey.....
EPIC!!
You kids sure looked as though you had a blast, living the dream.
Great video, roll on the next👍👍🏴
Thanks Chris and Jen , I thought it was awesome to get to know you and Gus a little better with a road trip. It’s always cool to see things fixed on the fly. You guys are great together and hope to see more. Peace and love
Gus. Thank you for taking good care of him. Great watch, I Googled all your stops. Very cool.
Please do more of these series where u pick up a old car and drive it home amazing content.
Absolutely awesome series man!!! Enjoyed every minute! Hopefully you guys keep that car! What a beauty
Great video. Interesting filmmaking, good mechanical content, great editing, cute dog and lady, non annoying personality. Appreciate it. Keep up the good work.
Yes, still watching your videos from 1yr.ago. Great video to watch during Christmas holiday 2023.
Film work, editing, adventure and mechanical skills. This channel is A+. I have not seen any other channel like this!
This popped up in my recommended list, now an hour and half later, going to watch part 1. This was so enjoyable to watch. Great little journey with great camera work. Loved the junk yards and salvage yard, not too many left around these days. Your gal is a gem dude. So laid back and fun to be around.
What vtx106 said.
Part 1? Thanks for the heads-up.
Great to follow you two and the dog on the trip, lots of nice features. But the best is that you both have so excellent personality. You are two absolutely wonderful people. Take care.👍
Thank You for the Vacation and Beautiful Country Side!! That I haven't seen in 50 years!! Had A "BLASTER" of a Time!!
That's a decently CLEAN old ride!
And those dished aluminum wheels are great... Some of my favorite stock wheels ever, on any car.
They look absolutely incredible when they're polished out and even better when they're chromed!
Nice find!
Awesome series on this Gran Torino. Love your channel and your tenacity on never giving up on situations that are lost causes. Would love to see part three of the jeep restoration.
This has been an awesome trip. Thanks for taking us along! I would love to see more road trip and fix-along-the-way videos like this. I am definitely going to check out Bullhead City, AZ. That place looked amazing!
Bullhead City, AZ...Hot.
I really enjoyed this. I was brought home from the hospital after being born in my parents almost new 1976 Elite.
That was an amazing trip! Awesome to see the old girl made it home safely! You and Jen are living your best life with these awesome adventures! Thanks for sharing!
And Gus
Thanks for taking me on your road trip guys, loved every minute of it and the video felt like it was 2 weeks long you packed so much into it. XXX
WATCH OUT! For the scammer commenting back to people saying they won a prize. They are impersonating Me by using my profile picture and trying to scam you out of money. I do not have a telegram account and you did not win any prizes. When I do the Blaster t-shirt winners, I will comment back to you from this account that has a check mark next to it and I'll ask you to reach out to me on Facebook or instagram.
Yeah they got me, makes the 2nd time they've tried
Thanks for the heads up I have an idea it was a scam keep up the great work on the videos he's doing an amazing job with the photography it's so professional
For the guy that runs a lawn mower carburetor on a V8 engine and gets 40 miles per gallon it doesn't have much power or it has diminished amounts of power because of the decreased amount of fuel but increase amount of air flow through a small Channel makes a strong interior effect vaporizes carbureting the fuel better than a regular carburetor can do. 40 mpg!
Oh..lol, that sux. Thought I got a reply... Well, keep up the good work brother... Good looking out on the scammer...
got the same thing from VGG.
What an adventure ...... good times .
Ya it was long ..... but it flowed.
Was glad to see you two getting refreshed in the more clear northern lakes.
Great show Chris! Love the inclusion of your passengers it really keeps it flowing and enjoyable to watch, Jennifer and Gus are good sports.
I appreciate both the work that went into keeping the car moving forward and the production of the show. Stay cool!
Love the fly and revive!!!! Need some more of this you are definitely the most indepth mechanic on youtube. Keep on keeping on 💯!!!!
Great video Chris - really enjoyed the fixes along the way, especially seeing vapor lock in action in the clear filter!
Gus has won me over, I'm not really a Dachshund fan but he is a character having the time of his life. Love the content, I think Chris taught MacGyver everything he knows he's one of he most resourceful mechanics I've seen.
Wow, when i first started watching this video, I thought you might be very little educated on mechanics stuff. Boy, was i wrong, You are very talented at analyzing mechanical issues and fixing them! I thought wow, that is really risky going across the country with such an old vehicle where anything could go wrong, but you fixed everything without really being stranded! Nice job and video. Gus and Jen were very cute and patient!
Ohh, no wonder, I saw your youtube pic. You are an ASE certified technician! Very nice.
This is my first time watching one of your videos and enjoyed it immensely. The challenge of going and picking up an unknown car and all its issues, addressing as the appear while driving it home, made of a great automotive adventure. Recommend doing more as opportunities arise. Keep em coming.
You guys look like you had such a good time on this trip! Love to see a little bit of fun thrown in to the mix, hope you make many more of these!🤘❤
Man you can fix anything , no stress that’s amazing
just found this channel, and subscribed, really like how real you keep the content, from the fixing, to the way you are, bare hands, no shirt cause it's hot in the desert, even getting to the undies at the lake, cause that's what most of us would really do bro, like most of us real people that watched this video, finally something real, thank you for taking the time to post this, hello from Miami, FL
Awesome trip! You pretty much restored the car during the trip!! Cannot wait for the detail video!
New subscriber here. I loved this series! Seeing you do all of the roadside repairs and all of the great camera work! Thank you both for taking us along for the ride! Great content.
