It's been a long time coming, but the day has finally arrived! The engine is FINALLY ready to drop into our 1958 Plymouth. WHILE WE'RE HERE, why not go ahead and tear apart the entire rear end of the car? Today is going to be monumental towards the progress of our build. Think we can make it to Holley Moparty?

Dylan! Get yourself a knotted cup brush and put it on an angle grinder to do your rust removal. You'll need to wear a face shield to keep the "cheek pokers" away, but it'll work about 5 times faster than that drill... 800 rpm on a typical corded drill vs. 5,000 or more on an angle grinder.
Correction...about 7-9 thousand on an angle grinder depending on brand.
Yes! I used a needle scaler and a coarse cup brush on my truck frame that was super rusty, it took it down to pretty kuch clean steel
Yeah that’s all I use, u can lean into them and just hog that rust off
I also prefer the wire cup brush on a grinder.
It can be faster, but I have caught a bolt, frame rail, etc and had kick backs. Catch one to the chest, they feel great. Lol
I was very glad to see you painting everything under the car. When you get that done, that old Plymouth will thank you for preserving it
I'm glad he did it. Nobody will see it, but the rust won't open up holes, and when it's time to work on it again there won't be a lot of dirt and rust getting in your face every time you touch it
@@jonathanryan2915 Not to mention you can wash the undercarriage with confidence knowing you aren't helping rust progress.
Your whole “while I’m in here” and “no one will know but I’ll know” attitude is highly commendable.
What I was taught is to do a good job even when no one is looking or no one will see your work.
“Do it right or don’t do it at all” was my father’s mantra.
Sounds like it’s yours too.
Well done.
I learned from somebody a long time ago (I honestly don't remember who, though) to always make sure it is cleaner when you put it back together than it was when you took it apart.
Yeah, we didn't do things "half-assed" in my father's garage either. Or anything else for that matter.
Absolutely love this build. Everybody's doing Challengers Canaros or Mustangs. Refreshing to see a cool old and unique car brought back to life
Im so with you on the underbody detail, no one can see it, but does everyone agree we drive it with a smug look on our face knowing its all good under there ?? 😂 im so impatiant for the rest of the episodes on this car being a long time christine fan, keep up the good work brother 👌🏾👊🏾
Oh yeah. Smug asf knowing my floor pans aren't gonna be rusting anytime soon.
I’m the same way knowing even parts that no one else can see are looking good. Less anxiety that way
It gives you confidence that’s for sure. I’d do and have done the very same thing. Years later, looks amazing under there.
I am really enjoying this 58 Plymouth series. Keep the videos coming!
Bro I love this car
Such a cool build, can’t wait to see it running.
I have the utmost respect for a man who can put heart,soul,blood and tears into a project. Getting your hands dirty on a build shows character.
just a word of caution from an old man who worked in a Chrysler garage for years and then built around 20 hot rods-street cars and raced a few of them, all chrysler products. don' wear yourself out by putting it in and taking it out, then doing that again, and again. Complete what you can afford and want to get done in a sensible chronicle order. I found out the hard way , that doing Chrysler products is very time consuming but satisfying. very little comes easy but you will end up with something that you can be very proud of and will last for a long time. Collect all the chrysler Power magazines you can as well as mopar muscle magazines, you can. they are full of articles that will assist you.
Much respect for taking the time to do it right, and not just being OK with "that's good enough".
I'm falling in love all over again with cars of that era. I remember my dad had Chevy's, then Pontiac's and then Chryslers. The first one I remember is a 1955 Chevy 150, then a 1959 Pontiac Bonneville (huge vehicle), then a 1963 Pontiac Catalina - loved this car. Well, it costs so much now to find one that's restored to drivable condition and that's why I like your videos so much. I'll never have one of these cars, but I love looking at them. Keep up the good work!
Looking good, Dylan! That shiny silver engine looks great in the detailed engine compartment. Hope it runs as good as it looks!
She’s coming along!
If you live in a rust prone area of the country painting the underside of the car is a must, those stainless lines are a good idea too if you don't want to deal with brake lines rotting out again right away.
Doesn't matter that nobody will see it it's very satisfying to see the under body done and obviously it adds years to its life, good job man.
Dylan, this channel is great for everyone. For me, I like it because you are not afraid to swim in the deep water. Best of luck to you.
I can’t believe what you can do all by yourself. MamaCard from Florida is impressed.
I am so pumped for the final outcome of this car. Some new door glass, maybe patch the holes in the quarters, hit some of the exterior with some Poppy's Patina, and with those cool polished slotted wheels it's going to look SICK! I'd LOVE to have that car in my driveway.
Hey Dylan: With only a week to go before the Holley-Mo-Party, the '58 Savoy is becoming road and race ready and ought to be killer once it's completed...Just have to get the window glass together and you'll have one beast of a ride!!!! From the home of PB Blaster, Cleveland, Ohio.....Can't wait to see the finish of the build!!!!
Thank you for sharing and the appreciation Dylan
Great job, looking good, can't wait to see it running on the road, better off painting the whole floor, all the best to you and your loved ones
I'm sure you've already addressed this, but it'd be really cool to see that e-body rear end get a posi, a 3.73 center section, and some stronger axles before it goes in. I realize that this has no bearing on such an awesome old car, but I REALLY wish that I would've kept my 1984 Ramcharger with a 360 LA and a 727 with a NP205. It was strong, it ran great (other than the constant vapor lock), and it would literally go anywhere on the 33x12.50s that was on it with slotted wheels. It spent its whole life up here in the NE, so the quarters and most of the lower body panels were constructed of old newspaper and fiberglass, but I could've replaced the majority of that with fresh sheet metal. Instead I swapped in a 1997 5.9 Magnum and a 5 speed manual and I never got it running right. I sold it for scrap...$400...after I spent $700 for the engine, $250 for the trans, and I sold it while I was going through some really tough times. Damn I wish I would've had some foresight because I'd LOVE to have that thing right now the way that it was when I bought it.
Yup, rough times are the demise of untold numbers of cars & trucks that we all wish that we should have never let them go.
I, for one, have had to do the same, but I had 3 of them. First was my 70 Plymouth `Cuda, 383, 4 speed, Hurst pistol grip shifter, sniff.
Second, 70 Chevelle, 350, 4 speed, SS dash and a bench front seat. Metallic maroon, black vinyl top.
Third.... 1968 Chevelle, 327, powerglide Trans, bench seat with hounds tooth interior. Baby blue, white roof, dog dish hubcaps. A factory sleeper. She was FAST and quiet as a mouse. Sneaky little thing. It belonged to the cutest little blonde, that ended up becoming my girlfriend. One year later, my wife, and 37 great years later, still together and having fun.
You are one of the very few people who can make it. I trust you
If that Poppy's stuff can be sprayed you should put it in a little handheld pump sprayer. It'll go on a hell of a lot faster and reach areas that will be harder to do with a brush. Being upside down, it will keep you from having drips running down your arm.
I started watching as soon as I was notified. I love this car and I'm loving this series
Very different machine
My dad always told me if you’re going to do a job do it right or don't do it at all. What he taught me was take pride in what you do. I see that you take pride in what you do this is why I enjoy your channel.
Hey Dylan: With some three and a half weeks more to go before the Mo-Party on September 16th; watching this Savoy come together is like actually watching the movie Christine. (Without the carnage and bad language, of course) The undercarriage and engine drop were especially top notch and I can't wait for the next installment of the series!!!! "This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it..." (Psalm 118:24) From the home of PB Blaster.... Cleveland, OH......
A few towns over there is 50's model fire truck just wasting away. Every time I pass by it I think of you and Junkyard dig's.
Never been this early to one of Dylan's videos!
Looks good. 🤘 Had a 57 Belvedere moredoor project back in '07. With all the bells and whistles. You''re making me miss it.
That silver is pretty slick in that bay!👍😎
It's looking good. You might want to eventually get rid of those leaf springs with the helpers and get some new ones or have a leaf added.
Dylan, love this video, so cool to see older cars saved from the junk pile. That said, I wish you would have kept the auto transmission with the push buttons. In my opinion that feature is what makes these old Plymouth cars so unique.
Ill be at Moparty. I'll have my Challenger RT there. Can't wait to meet you and see your cars man!
Looking forward to the completion
Making progress friend.
Looking better every episode
Looking forward to Moparty in Bowling Green Kentucky.
I'm very impressed. I can't stand seeing cars all shined up on top and yet underneath all rusty and neglected; you can be polishing the top whilst the underneath is laughing at you. If I went to buy a car and the top was all dolled up, but the underside looked like this one did before the work, I would walk away as to me it's a half-job. What you've done is preserve and that is key to keeping an older vehicle on the road.
The 1958 Plymouth uses T-3 headlights. I see that they are still available and I saw a set of 4 which cost about $150. There are some new replacements made that are brighter than the originals, but it was not stated as to whether they use more current in the ad I saw. In any case, you may want to get a new set in case you plan to be on the road at night. Hope all the work goes well so you can make it to the get-together! Have fun and be safe!
I love that you care enough to tidy up the underside while you’re there. That’s some thing that always bugs me when I see something unfinished that could have been fairly easily corrected. Not that I could do any of this stuff… I’m a 78 year old lady, but I love to watch you do it… Sort of like spending somebody else’s money!
Is it just me but I actually love it when he makes the stuff you can’t see actually nice
I have always loved cars and I got a 56 chevy and this series has been so inspratinal to me in my "roadstoration" and learing all the little things I can do to make myself feel better about my car and making it look a little bit better. Thanks Dylan
You are living my dream. I hope too seeing this till the end.
Dylan love it,can't wait to see the finish
The ‘58 Plymouth is a very cool car. I’m really enjoying your choices and dedication to putting it back on the road better than ever. I’m even getting used to “patina.” 😆
Nothing wrong with you cleaning the undercarriage. You know yourself it looks great! Wow looks incredible! Engine looks so good!
I am so glad you painted the underside of the car
There are so many channels out there swapping the petrol tank and not painting the underside
This week on "While I'm Here"...😁
You know, I have been there. I set out to do 1 or 2 things on the car, and the next thing I know, the sun has set, and I didn't even stop for lunch just because I have to fix or readjust something that no one else will see. But once it's done, you no longer have to worry about it.
Great job young man! Keep up the awesome work
I love inline tube 👍
Used to do the same ,knowing it’s clean painted and done! good job sadly not many do .
Finish that stuff then under coat it. Brilliant. Will really pop!
A car like that deserves the attention to make it nice and stop the rust
Dylan at 10:10 for me in that position it's about future proofing the vehicle so I don't have to do the same job or same area again in 2, 5, 7, 10 years.
Don't get me wrong there's definitely a place for bodgeniring and improvise, adapt and overcome. Especially in Bangernomics.
Good progress 👍🇲🇰
Dylan you got the REAR AXLE dance down!!!! Old one out New one in!!!! Good job!
great progress, and doing the underside is very underrated. but one thing id do is put leafs under it, that thing had 2 different sets of helpers, those springs are shot
Love those wheels and tires.
Coming along very nicely
Man, I want that car! Looking wonderful!
Wow, you really do great stuff. Love these old Mopars
Good to see you
You too
nice work, cant wait to hear it run
When you walked into the scene at the beginning with your face to the side, it looked like you were doing an impression of Alfred Hitchcock. He had a show and at the beginning he walked in like that and said in a distinctive voice: "Good Evening."
WOW!!! DOUBLE SPRINGS!!! NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE!!!
I would have removed those crusty old dampers before trying to remove it, seeing as they are probably pretty slopped out by now anyhow...
Will you save those extra helper springs?
Those are kinda cool because its just like helper springs on some trucks that come into play under extra heavy loads.
Looks real good Thanks for sharing
Can't wait this build is cool loved this model from the Christine movie 😍
I feel the same way you do about the under coat.
It’s clean, protected it looked 👍🏻
I really enjoy all the detail put in to assure it won't continue to rust. Great Job Dylan.
It looks Dyan 👌 congratulations
I like the way you're very detailed oriented Dylan. Don't apologize for getting sidetracked taking care of something that needs to be done. The old Plymouth is coming along nicely and keep up the great work 👍✌️🇺🇲
THANKS DYLAN,, ITS STARTING TO COME AROUND.. THE PAINT JOB UNDERNEATH GREAT!! THE ENGINE MCCOOL.. PEACE!!!!!!!
Love the production! AAA+++
It’s so cool that you detailed the undercarriage!! You put time into the little things and truly it will make a difference people will notice, just like the Challenger build and the Charger build and the Mustang build, Can’t wait to see the rest!!!
Awesome build
Love the channel
God Bless
It’s getting there
Hey Dylan have you ever thought about getting a portable lift to go along with stationary one. I think it would be a great addition to your shop👍🏾
Love your content !
Looking good, Dylan.
I thought you would be proud of me as I roadstored my 74 Dodge van. I can't help but think of you every time I see a mopar.The engine was great. Just had to clean the carb to get it running. Cost $0. 727 trans got a new filer, gasket and fluid. Brakes got a new master cylinder. Total cost to make it drive down the road, just over $200. The 12+ year old battery still started it too.
Looked like a completely different car after you painted underneath it!
Looks great Dylan, looking forward to seeing more of it.
Dylan you are doing a great job keep it up.
Bon travail génial
My hats off to you I am building a 47 Old fastback gas tanks out rearend will be out as I have to mount tube shocks mounts knee actions suck but same deal I just cant not clean and paint or undercoat. ggood job
Underside definitely looks better painted black, but I think I would've thinned out the black and sprayedit on, I've even sprayed the clear on hard wood floors with house painter piston type paint sprayer, it works very well.
For several years when I was. kid, our family car was a 1959 Plymouth wagon, with the 318 ci. A good vehicle to learn to drive on. Onward!
you can drop a nice offset wheel in the back since you have more room. I feel the same way. make it look good, you're there! Best case scenario you are slowing the process.
Just came across your channel Dylan, thanks to Uncle Tony. Just subscribed. Cool stuff. A guy I knew years ago had a 58 with the push button automatic. He called her Christine.
Man Dylan, she's coming together! Engine and rearend look beautiful! Can't wait to see it running! Rock on 🤘!
Bravo, another fanastic update.
I watch alot of TH-cam channels. This is by far my favorite current build!!!
I have the same problem. You just never can stop yourself and say enough is enough.
Takes a lot of work, love the content 👍 keep up the good work
Coming along great.
LOOKS GREAT!!!
I was iffy on the silver color...but once in it did pop! good job
Very Nice! Thanks. 😀
Awesome video. You should get yourself a 2 post hoist. It looks awkward down on the ground.
I'm still watching it . But ya the back end under neath looks great so far 👌 👍
