Enjoyed the video. Good luck with your channel
Wyatt? Turning rust? Forreal? I'm a huge fan thank you, I try to watch all your videos im not too far from yall. Glad to see you guys got the channel situation figured out.
Thanks. Your video was suggested this morning, so I checked out. Good stuff. The “Will It Run” videos can really be tough, but you handled it well and got it done. Keep up the great work
I wouldn't wanna wreck the patina with a cheesy themed paint job. I'd just neutralize the rust, and clear coat it. Rattle can clear coat.
I was thinking clearcoat it but just handpaint a logo
If you keep breaking 1/2 inch drive breaker bars, then you need to invest in a 3/4 inch drive set. Or at least the breaker bar and whatever size impact socket you need to fit the crank pulley. Also, get a shop vac accessory tool kit. They have small nozzle tips that will fit into sparkplug holes and master cylinder openings. And remember..... just because she smokes, don't mean she's broke. 😉
I need a 3/4 breaker bar for sure
Put it back together , get it running better, and then decide what to do ,or Not do to it. It's a pretty cool survivor just as it is ! ( cleaned up a bit). 🧐
Agree 1000 percent, thanks Ken stay tuned
Crease the front end . Change the gear box an diff oil . Let it run an get real hot 🥵 then change the engine oil an filter . Flush some fresh oil down it after you drain it to help flush it out . 👍🏻💯🇦🇺.
These old flat 6 motors are hard to kill.
Thanks for the update keep on wrenchin!
Atta Boy. Keep it rockin' and rollin'.
Your right about champion plugs.
Used autolites in it, it fired right up!
You know I'm an Olds guy but I still love the Mopars. Had several, that notchback Barracuda is such a great body !!!
Notchback is a sweet ride! Thanks for watching
Love these Plymouths from 49-52. I so want a 3-window business coupe.
Love the car, you did well freeing that engine off. Sweet patina sauce for the bodywork!! No paint!
Agreed on patina, thanks for watching.
Impressive commitment to getting that old car going.👍
I appreciate that tom, thank you
I would do a rebuild of the flathead 6, they are really great on fuel, especially in today's economy. You're already putting a gas hungry v8 into the wagon. Or you can take the engine from the wagon and put in this car! Look into a twin carb intake , if it exists, headers, dual exhaust, etc. Or just keep it stock! Must be painted, some color!
That's a great idea, the flat head in the wagon is a 230 and the 1951 has a 218 so it would be an upgrade. Ill have to see it the 218 comes back around by itself.
I love the look of the 50s Plymouth and Dodges, it will be awesome when you get it all done
That expression on your face was hilarious, you looked like you just stole your dad's car . LOL
It's a blank canvas.
I hear Arkansas junkyards have lots of "pitted" Chargers, perfect for a platform transplant.
This hulk needs to be shortened, chopped, channeled and "couped".
I had a 51 Pontiac chieftain once. Strait 8. Great cruising car. I like the bull noses. You got to tare down the engine. New rings etc. Or put modern running gear in it. It needs a lot of work. Anything possible. Good luck. You a worker.. keep going while you're young and got the energy. You need plenty cardboard to be laying on. Lol. Keep the cold out your back. Trust me. Have a good week. 👍
Those Chieftains are super cool. Thanks for watching
Great video! Love to see the old girl running again. Wonderful patina on the body. If it were me I'd consider painting it the same color as the firewall which seems to be the original. Still you could do something cool with the patina--maybe a clearcoat? I look forward to seeing more of this project. You're doing a super job!
Thank you, I'm thinking paint an old logo on door and then clear coat the rust.
I think if you pull the head, you may have a burnt valve. You may need to pull the pan and check the bottom end; I would change the oil pump. Clean it up and paint it black like you did the wagon.
In the 60’s my Grandparents had a 50’s Plymouth like this. Me and my sister got a gas outta riding to church in their old car which was ancient to us.
I'm thinking it needs a complete tear down and some machine work with all new pistons/rings and bearings. Cool old car...
Liked this video and if I had the old 4 door I would make it a Ghost cop car from an old ghost town that has rust cobwebs and character. Thanks for a great watching video
Thank you!
Great ro see and old forgotten girl get a se one lease of life
And it's great that guys like you are prepared to put the time and effort into doing that looking forward to seeing how you get on
Ian from Bedfordshire UK 🇬🇧
Thanks Ian 🤘
When I was turning wrenches for a living I quickly recognized that Champions were junk. Autolites were best with AC Delco second.
Stuck some used autolites in her fired right up like brand new! I agree Champions are yuck, thanks for watching.
Congratulations on the start and drive . I’m surprised that you got the old gal going. It was a tough cookie. Thanks for sharing! 💯
Thank you Mr Terry
You killed a bunch of mosquitoes there 😂😄
Gotta call the pest guy and let em know not to come this month. 🤣
Freaking awesome keep up the good work!
Awesome seeing it going from being locked up to now rolling. Amazing your dedication on giving these old irons a heartbeat once again. Great job!
Glad you enjoyed it
Remember:...
*"These Ole Plymouths/cars used Non-Detergent Motor Oils, unlike the modern oils¡"*
Love the 51 Plymouth. I say sandblast it, sand it with DA , prime it and paint it with tractor paint( a light color like you put on the 55 wagon. Thanks
Great idea💡 I do like the patina on this though. Ill post a video this coming week on scrubbing the car down with some sos pads. It was a baby blue car originally
Great job I love bringing history back to life✌🏼
Thanks jeff
I love it! Nice you got it running without too much headache. I like the rat rod cop car idea! Thanks, Mike from Connecticut.
Thank you!
That was awesome keep it as a daily driver don't mess with it other wise keep up the great work cheers from Canada😁👏
nice job 👏 love the look 👌 lot's of work left 😀
They make all kinds of Nos. after market performance parts for those flat 6's . Like duel intakes , split manifolds. performance heads. Nos. pistons from military surplus in my 230. I would rebuild that flat 6. They are fun and easy to build . You can still get every part for those engines even new water distribution tubes.
Great, you got the old bugger running! I remember this style of car on the roads when I was a kid. I learned to drive on a column shift. Looking forward to more on this.
Column shifts are so much fun, alot of people my age will never experience them. Thank you
I think you're doing great just keep going with it I sure it'll come around
I think you are right Roy, thank you.
Way cool you got it running. The title scene threw me seeing a broken piston. Doesn’t even sound too bad. Maybe the rings will come around with a little snake oil and heat cycles. Those old flat 6s impress me. And so do you getting them unstuck and running!
As far as paint/patina - see what it looks like after you clean it. If it’s decent, keep it. If you’d rather paint it, paint it. I’d probably lean more toward the stock look myself. You’ll know what to do when you get the rest of the stuff on it. I’m liking what you’re doing Nick, keep it up! 👍🏼🔥🏁🇺🇸
Thank you much, broke piston was a sneak peak in the teardown of the 1952 Free firewood plymouth that is locked up.
Easy for me to say but if could would travel 6thousand miles and love! To spend time fixing that beauty up ,it has real potential ,wow after all that junk in it ,,it goes ! ! , has a really good motor.. brilliant job sir…
Your methods may be unconventional, but, you got it going! That's what counts! More power to you!
Thank ya joe!
Ya need a fly wheel wrench friend.i dig the old flt heads
That would be a game changer, thanks for watching!
Good.job 😃😃😃👍👍👍👏👏👏cool
Would be cool Taxi
I think that's what we are going to have to do. Thanks Kristofer
I am a 73 year old man who at the time of these cars rolling on the rode daily would not be caught dead in one/lol. Spent my whole life wrenching professionally on heavy diesel equipment but loved anything engine related. Brent from Halfass Kustoms did a chopped top on one of these and it looked so good, that they all should of come that way! No nonsense know how did a revival on one and he showed the brake system in great detail. I liked most mopar stuff till they went to unibody as I just don't favor it. I can fix it but don't like it. I put a tower of power in one of these for a customer and it took a long time since their so completely different in just about every way possible.. considering these engines went to 59 and then straight to that six leaning tower of power. We did turbo it so it was extremely fast. I got readings on a dyno of over five hundred horses and torque that you can hardly believe out of them. There seems to be a revival of four door cars and old international trucks. I did subscribe, think you should just make it your own plans since money is not floating out of the sky
Thats awesome, I have a1971 dart with a slant six. Great engines, really think they are the toughest engines ever made.
+ positive is correct for ground.
Yup
Keep as original as possible.
Im planning on doing Everything original. Stock wheels etc but I would like to paint a taxi logo on the door and put a Taxi 🚕 sign on roof. Whatchya think?
@@somewhatfast That would be very cool.
50 mins of video == maybe 5 , 6 days of work lol . Attaboy ! Run’s and drives ! I watch lot’s of videos from US , i’m just a dumb Canadian lol , been working on cars for over 40years and still lol , i use ATF ,diesel fuel … , my dumb question is , PV blaster , never seen that in Canada lol . What is a substitute ? Or maybe i can get it here ? I never asked anybody lol , well great job there buddy , you know your stuff , i’m glad i subscribed
Pb blaster is great, its like wd40 mouse, liquidwrench, kroil, just a penetraring fluid.
my name is nick too, and i love cars
Nick² was upppp bruh!
Great vid!! 👍👍
Thanks for the visit
@@somewhatfast 👍
Taxi.., enjoy the Ride... Nobody wants to ride in a cop car ... although I liked them Galaxy on Andy Griffith show 🤟😎
Have a 51 2 door Cambridge that I am struggling to get going. Have new champion plugs. Can’t be that easy. Gonna buy some different plugs.
I could barely get it to fire with those champion plugs. Autolites it lit right off. I heard champion don't do well once they have been flooded and over saturated.
1. Check your point gap .030 ish and clean points.
2. Autolite plugs check gap
3. Firing order make sure you are dead on big old shot of starter fluid she should fire.
Buy a sparky tester from harborfreight I leave one on pretty much an entire revival to make sure I visibly see spark the entire time.
Harley Davidson headlight buckets and trim rings fit these cars, by the way.
Thats good to know I need some thanks patrick
In Canada, the Dodge was a rebadged Plymouth and not a U.S Dodge.
I really love it.
Thank you so very much. And you are very welcome. Please keep up the good work.
Please wish me luck to.
Car is cool man. Be cool to see it as an old police car like the Merc in the movie Cars. 🎉on getting it running.
so much snow!
Never have had issues with champion plugs, autolites yes.
My 55 had a very hard time starting with champion, And this one was the same. Maybe the gap was wrong.
Love these old plymouths I have a 52 plymouth suburban still looking for a left front finder molding if know of any would appreciate the help
Browne auto salvage in sunset TX give em a call they have lots of plymouths
Cool, I'll give them a try
I'd do like a Checker proto type thing,...never Checker was a actually auto maker....I just thought the was custom tri 5 growing up 😂
top job mate . dont those flathead sixs sound good . looking forward to your projects
Thanks again Brett
Better be thankful she wasn't out here on the east coast all them years 😆. She would have been all rotted out just from sitting. Thats why it's so hard to find a decent older car for a project out here that doesnt require a ton of rot removal.
They are giving them away like its the 1960s in Texas! 🤣
@@somewhatfast 😆 well I may just move to Texas after all 😆
Ok don’t sweat it. Get a motor/trans combo out of the junkyard. Ford 8.8 swap the rear. I think it’s nearly a straight bolt in on the Mopar.
I put an 8.8 In my 1955 plymouth wagon, and a 318 Magnum and overdrive trans out of a 1995 dodge ram, go check it out!
You said broke rubber, ha ha.
🤣
Rat rod cop car would be cool.
She is great for killing mosquitoes!
Need to start a pest control business. Get a contract with an HOA and just drive it around their neighborhood once a week. 😎
Perhaps you should try a 5-minute engine flush. Or the old school way of idling it for 5 minutes with a quart of transmission fluid in the crankcase. Then drain it and replace the oil. P.S. I guess I spoke too soon, it appears that it seized after my comment.
It didnt seize, engine flush is a great idea.
@@somewhatfast I guess the literature on the screen towards the end had me confused. Shortly after you commented about the amount of smoke. I'm certainly glad that it didn't seize.
@@briansutton7764 I have 2 of these cars if you go on my channel. I bought a 1952 that had a locked up engine too and I was unsuccessful at freeing the engine. I used the transmission, driveshaft, and starter off it to put on this 1951 car. I am going to pull that engine and tear it down to see why it wouldn't move.
@@briansutton7764 I accidentally title the video 1952. My mistake i meant 1951
@@somewhatfast Well it's not fantastic that one is seized, but it's good news that this one still runs. With any luck the flush will help clear the blockage causing low oil pressure. A few heat Cycles may help the Rings re-engage the cylinder walls.
Use pry bar on the teeth of flywheel.
She’s a runner!!! Great job! Worse case scenario the motor from your ‘55 should work in the '51.
I’d just take some SOS pads, or the gray scotch pads smooth up the body and keep it patina.
I think a Cop car would be cool. Just don’t get yourself in trouble with it. 😂😂
55 has a 230 51 is a 218 but it is the same block. And about 20 more hp too. That could be an option
Please make it to a taxi that would be so wicked I have never seen one and u could uber it🤣
That is a great idea, I will call uber and see if they will let me use it. I'll sign up for uber and use it to do one ride and record the peoples reaction 🤣 🤣
@@somewhatfast please 🤣🤣🤣 idc if it's just a one video thing I would just love to see what people think lol.
Great video!!! Help me find a decent chrome right hand tail light housing for my 51 cranbrook.
That's a tough one. They are almost always pitted!!
👍
Use the coil with a resister.
Dude a cop car would be so cool! You could make a short film
Dang! That would be cool. Im leaning toward rat rod taxi i want to keep the patina and just paint a taxi logo on door
@@somewhatfast that idea is also awesome
Put motor cycle fenders on rear.
You could always go into the mosquito fogging business...
Start charging the neighbors
No rat rod! Make it stock. Original condition.
It will be all original basically im throwing a taxi light 9n the roof and a taxi logo on the door and keeping the rust patina.
@@somewhatfast No yellow paint?
@@100aceswid nope paint the logo straight over the rust!
@@somewhatfast I guess I'm the type of guy that likes to see cars totally and completely restored to when they were new.
@@100aceswid Yeah this channel isn't about that. This is for the average Joe on a budget.
I understand why ya like Mopars, son. But why THOSE Mopars??? Those 49-54s, especially the Plymouths, look like Elmer Fudd's HAT. Which, ironically, was the whole point; so old guys like Elmer Fudd wouldn't have to take their hats off to drive em!
I grew up around them they are burned into my brain as cool cars Im cursed. Plus they are cheap and easy to find.
@@somewhatfast Yeah, not exactly a 68 Charger or 71 Cuda!
Texas . Oh ya.
Those MCs are expensive becuase they are part of the brake/clutch pedal assembly.
Ah thats makes sense. Seems to be working right now i might take apart and clean it.
@@somewhatfast I updated mine with a dual MC and had a custom bracket made to keep the original pedal assembly.
@@mikesilva5069 is it firewall mounted?
@@somewhatfast no, kept under the floor. I didn't want to modify to much just enough.
@@somewhatfast I can send you pictures of what I did for my brake system.
I'll be honest, I didn't think that was going to free up.
Sometimes you get lucky!
👍🏻💯🇦🇺
Definitely would say taxi
Another taxi vote, 😎 Thanks nick
Do you know a good place to get head gaskets for these straight 6’s I need one for my 49 Chrysler
@@nickmontgomery9896 Rockauto.com i get everything from rockauto if I have time to plan ahead
Odd numbers then evens
Chop it and make it a 2 door. Would be cool chopped
That bypass oil filter will contaminate your new oil.
Its a factory oil filter
@@somewhatfast early model s were bypass not full flow. I have plumed the lines together. Temp to keep oil clean. Temporarily.
I would use a cheater bar on that breaker bar.
You will break something that way, you have to work it slow.
It's not even called a torque it's called a torque tube on the drive shaft and load to yours and basically it uses it
Its called a driveshaft and it uses ball and trunnion joints instead of ujoints. These cars did not have torque tubes.
Just cause she smoke don't mean she's broke.
Does if it smokes worse than a rave party in a blade movie!
Definitely taxi
Ball and trouniun...similer to a cv joint....but does not articulate as much
Anyone ever ask you what the deal is with all the washers and dryers in the background? 🤔
If you had to take a wild guess what would your guess be?
27:47 what in the dryer hoard stash is going on here ?
I own an appliance business
@@somewhatfast Good on ya man! Been following along on the Plymouth adventures, looks like you are having fun and thats what its all about. Keep it up!
@@92xl Thank you sir 🎩
Why don't you invest in a starter button
I'm not sure, sketchy wire has always worked for me i guess
I just went on amazon and ordered one. Should see it in the next video 🤣
