    Even in all her rust, she's still a beauty! Great job, guys! This 57 deserves a full body restoration! What do you say, Robby? What's the Boss think? Til next time, take care, and we'll see you on the next...

    I think Paul Cox just had a problem with that same upper radiator hose. Dunno if it's the same brand, but same style.

    @RevHardGarage ปีที่แล้ว +18

    This was an awesome mini-series! It's amazing how quickly a car can be done with enough parts. The old girl would probably be getting closer to 20mpg if you guys put in a modern transmission with over-drive and a TCC. I was really surprised you didn't go with a 4L80E or keep it manual. Congrats on all your hard work paying off!!!

    Last day of shop class,did we learn anything new?what a venture.even I new it was the discombonulator switch it was low on blinker fluid and muffler bearing's. I'm taken my next class in week or two. Drive safe kids and I couldn't of done that work in a month.

    1:30 I was right on why it did not start, the wire harness plugs were wrong (Red in front on passenger side and purple in front on driver side), as in they plugged them in the wrong orientation from front to back or back to front how ever you want to look at it. You can flip the whole brackets and coils from side to side if the wire plugs are in the correct order. If both sides are wrong, it will still not work flipping them around. I always look at the stock OEM coil plug when I use an after market harness, passenger side front to back is Red, Green, Blue and Purple.

    FYI Paul kicked that metal rad line to the circle bin. Doesn’t hold up looks pretty but lower need a reinforcement spring and upper needs to be solid rubber 😉

    This collab has been great. Justin's enthusiasm is incredible; he's such a geek for car mechanics haha.
    The Guys: We took it too the best muffler shop in town. They are so good it only took 45 minutes, and they did such a perfect job; just what this 57 Chevy needs!
    The Boss: They couldn't get it to work, so we brought it to a muffler shop.

    @RAVENROASTED 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Love it. I had a 56 as my first car. My dad bought from a farmer it had been used for target practice. He paid $85.00 for it. It needed a ring job. On the farm we did our own equiptment.
    My dad helped but I did the ring and the tappets. So when it came time to start it, it started off three batteries done in a relay. Dad says, " Time to lick your calf over!"
    I redid it and (I had the rings too tight.) It started right up. This was back in the day of drag racing for pink slips... I was the undisputed champion, only dad never let me keep my winnings!( Big Bummer) it was the off white and copper colored one!

    l used to have a synthetic putting green company in the 90s. l cut some nylon short rubber backed putting turf into car mats and 25 years later they'll still there. Very comfortable. What you have is poly propylene chipping turf. lt should have a heat sheild/sound dampener beneath it. Love the channel.

    Love this build! Looking forward to the final part of the project. Being from North East Ohio and a frequent patron of Summit, made this series of videos even more special. Rust is a common problem here in the Rust Belt but love the new astroturf to make the car a little more comfy on the ride back to Utah!

    Y’all are killing me here-hanging out in my old stomping grounds and I’m not there to see it! I never thought I’d see little ol’ Rittman in a TH-cam video, let alone a Robbie Layton video. I used to get my hair cut in a barbershop across the street from the garage where Rittman Automotive is located. There was another mechanic shop there before, called Kelly’s Auto Service. Tony and I took the driving part of Driver’s Ed together.

    When they installed those fancy hoses, my first thought was, "Isn't that the same kind that JUST failed for Paul on his truck last week? They look good but didn't last. I thought it was just the wrecker engine twisting under heavier loads that may have been to blame. You be the judge.

You all passed within a couple miles of me. Im in Covington KY, across the river from Cincinnati. I remember that storm the other night. Ill definitely be paying attention to your channel on this car. I assume you'll be completely restoring this car? This will be fun to follow!
