- We've got updates on the 1948 Pontiac Streamliner! We've pulled seats, interior, worked on brakes (sorta), got distracted by goats and oats too. the main take away is to learn how to mix paint and spray it yourself dirt cheap with great results!

Who's ready to see what the dash looks like all put together?
Car's coming along great
That's the best double-sided tape EVER! Rumor has it, that's what they used to put the heat tiles on the Space Shuttle. I'm pretty sure it's true. There is no need to fact check.
I had my doubts at first but go ahead and dunk me preacher, I'm a believer!
I mentioned to you that the front ball bearings in my ‘48 Pontiac were so worn they fell out when my dad and I took them out. What I didn’t say was that it had over 200,000 miles on it and I had to put a quart of oil in it every 350 miles. There was no need to change oil since it got a constant change, sort of a flowing oil change. Yet it didn’t smoke. Odd. It was 13. Reason I’m sharing this, if yours has 84,000, and the good original ball bearings attest to that, then your engine should last at least another 20,000, which is a lot in an old car that isn’t driven every day. You casually mentioned you thought the engine was shot. Maybe not. Keep up the good work! I’m hoping to see it completely road worthy! I do wish the body wasn’t so rough.
Idea: whoever had this car before you started a restoration project as can be seen by the blue dash. Maybe they took all that chrome trim off intending to paint the body. All you have to do is track down who they were to find all that missing chrome, where they stashed it. Easy, huh?
I checked the title to see if the previous owner before the guy I bought it from was on there, but unlike an Ohio title, Indiana does not include that info, not sure where to go from there
@@route40rustI once did a title search on a car and when, after a long wait, I got results they presented me with a copy of the title of every owner in the car’s history. Don’t know if that would work on a car this old. But if it just resulted in one or two of the last owners, it would provide the name and address of the one you need.
Your daughter is right, you did set the radio on fire!
Those ball bearings are what was originally in the car!! Either this is them or they were replacing with the same kind. Well cared for in its active life to be in great shape! When my dad took the wheel off in 1960, those bearings fell out!
@@sleb99yea she called me out on the fire thing didn't she!
Looks pretty good to me. Good job.
Thanks!
30:24 That's exactly what it is. My 1962 Bonneville uses the same kind of "logo" for the high beam indicator.
Is it supposed to be the Indian head logo? Sure looks like it to me.
That cluster gives the same vibes of the 1950s Tappan gas stoves
I wonder if the same company doesn't make all clocks and gauges for various manufacturers
Have you considered putting boiled linseed oil on the exterior?
I did! I put some on it a few days after I got it. More so as a preventative measure at this point but it looked good. We'll do it again soon and make a quick video!
Those goats make pretty good lawnmowers. Why waste gas when the goats can do it for you. Replaced the Master cylinder on my U.S. Army 1952 Dodge 3/4 T, 4x4 M37. Even the tires on it are original still hold air 72 yr old tires. But man were those brake drums rough. But got her done. Problem I got now is the $257 carb that was supposed to be rebuilt was not WTF. I hate when I pay money and get scammed. Always better off to do it yourself.
Its always best to rebuild carbs yourself. How's the m37 coming along?
