@@dannymusgrave4516 You obviously don’t watch very often a very closely. The “ putting down other shops” is a running joke between him, and the other shops!
Good lord!!! That was a project! Not many youtubers would sit on project video for years just to get it right! Everyone else would of swapped a small block and a 700r4 in her the first sign of trouble. I love that you left her originalish and I ussually could care less about matching brands. This one is an epic Mortske Repair. After you watch this the first time everyone should through this on every device they touch for the next month to get it the veiws it deserves. Hats off man!
It's only original once,sure you put it back to how it should have been when it was originally assembled, but there's something special about getting a fair mileage older original vehicle even if it has quite a bit of rust...
The knowledge a guy could learn hanging with mojo for a day. After watching Mortske I gained confidence to weld floors in. This is quickly becoming my favorite channel, and I watch many others.
This is the BEST video from you that I've ever seen. Old Cadillacs are the best subjects of restoration / revival videos. Every time I got a glimpse of this car in previous videos, I just had to know what was going on with it. It was a big tease for a while, but this video really made my day. Thank you, Mojo, Chin and Duff!
Thank you for not giving us a bunch of cut up episodes about the great Cadillac 1960 beauty! I love it that you kept the whole project going until you had a full episode to release and not what most do!! AWESOME!! Hi Duff!! Oh AND THANK YOU MOJO!!! I LOVE THIS CAR!!
The hate on 4 doors is insane.. parting the 4 door is heartbreaking. I hope it gets restored. Doing my 4 door 59 now. I couldn’t care less that its a 4 door. Been in the family since 1978
"It's got a hitch, but the only thing this ever pulled was tail." Classic. Man, that car is all there. It would make the whole neighborhood jealous as is.
I'm not exactly a Cadillac guy, but I gotta say, this video was so freakin cool. To be able to see all of it done in one video was amazing. 3 hour video, and I got nothing done today because of it, darn it. :D Thanks, Mojo, Chin, and DB, you guys kick ass!
Started watching it in London and was still watching it at home 110 miles up country. Fantastic content Mortske, and a huge shout out to Mojo & Chin. Let's not forget Duff Dog, what a star!! 🐶 Loved this epic, keep em up Mortske👍🏻👍🏻🏴🇬🇧
If you're doing it right or wrong is irrelevant at this point! Most of us never worked on an old Caddy engine so we are learning as you go too! All you can do is try! We all need a Mojo sometimes! God bless!
Had a friend when I was in my early twenties that bought a 59 Fleetwood, it was gray and it was immaculate. In like 1972. He used it for camping. What a monster! Enjoy your stuff.
Such a cool car... my Grandmother had a '72 Coupe de Ville with the 472 engine, and it would haul ass for such a big heavy car! I know because Gran got a speeding ticket in it going 80mph, and I saw her spin the tires without really trying (Ooops!). One thing I remember was doing a tune-up on it, and having a heck of a time getting the timing right. I ended up timing it by ear, and it wasn't until a couple of weeks later that I found out that the number 1 cylinder was on the front passenger side of the engine-- unlike the Buicks, Oldsmobiles, and Chevys I was used to working on! When Gran took it to a shop to have the timing checked, the mechanic said it was right on the money. I guess my ears worked just fine!
Caddies were always the top of GM's line, owned by the rich . A whole lot of Rock Stars also ferried themselves between concerts , and bankers and lawyers and politicians also rode in style at a time when gas was cheap and bigger cars were even better . Thank you for the video , also thanks to your crew , MoJo . Chin , and experts behind the scenes who worked so hard to make this program a huge success . Stuart in Canada ..
I like the full length video on the big projects like this caddy. Mojo is welth of knowledge, and it's awesome when he shares that wisdom with us. He's the employee of the year indefinitely!
Loved the "Caddy" docu-drama... hope this gets the views it deserves and appreciate you told it's story start to finish, rather than over the course of multiple videos...
For the Comet thing. Wet down the metal. Sprinkle the dry Comet over it like you are salting down a brisket. Then scrub with the Scotchbrite pad or even the dish scrubber sponge with the plastic scrubby side from the dollar store. Let the slightly moistened powder act as the cutting agent. Works on bathtub stains too kinda
Transmission is a 4 speed DUAL COUPLING Hydramatic, also commonly called 4 speed Hydramatic Jetaway. I had mine rebuilt on my 58 caddy 9 years ago for the 1st time. Kanter had a complete kit for it, finding someone to rebuild it was a nightmare . And that's here in Southern California. Every shop I called said they had no idea how to do it. Finally found a shop in Redlands that said they could do it, and had an elderly retired Transmission specialist that they used just for these old cars. They had it about a month, They did a great job. 9 years later its still working great! They charged me exactly 2000 dollars! Really nice people including the owner.
And kanter Auto parts used to have a catalog because around 2003 i was trying to help my grandpa and granny find a place that could rebuild her transmission in her 63 f-85 cutlass convertible Buick all aluminum high compression 215 V8 and the slim Jim transmission unfortunately it was realized even though it ran good it pumping transmission fluid into the engine so it needed rebuilt also so when my uncle inherited it was the whole motor and transmission was pulled and for now it's running a 61k actual miles Buick oddfire V6 and manual shift 3spd transmission from a 61 Buick Skylark station wagon..
My father had a ‘64 Galaxie. It was his first car. The white paint eggshelled so he scrubbed it with comet. Said it brought the white back up. Didn’t shine, but it was white again. Caddy looks great with the steelies!!
Excellent content, Thomas! I have never sat through nearly 3 1/2 hours of a TH-cam clip and it held my attention. You’re the boss, my friend, “hats off to your crew as well.”
it took three days to watch. and i can see your pain with the set backs, but she's a beaut Clark. thanks again for sticking it out. and tell Chin and Mojo we apreciates them. and of course Duffers
We got a More Mortske on Monday. A regular Mortske on Tuesday. I don't know where I am! I musta got lost on the way to Iola! Just thought of a 3rd channel name."Duff''s Diner" ( I don't know why I though of that, I'm still lost)
I’m half way thru the video. This is great, I sure hope you can get those heads into shape. This could be a 4 part series just getting it to daily driver status. I use to think you talk to much but I have come to appreciate your style. You’re actually my favorite show now. 👍🏼
When I was growing up my Dad always drove an Olds because we lived in Lansing, Michigan. Around Christmas of 1959 he came home with a white 1960 Cadillac Sedan DeVille. It was the biggest car I ever saw. It had an electric antenna that went up when you turned on the radio. That Caddy was the first car I ever saw with electric windows. I clearly remember the window sticker being just over $5,000. The next summer we took a road trip to upper Michigan. You just felt like a millionaire riding in that car even if you were in the back seat. That trip was the first time we crossed the Mackinac Bridge between lower and upper Michigan. My Dad had been riding with his arm out the window his whole life and so he didn't order air conditioning. Great memory of my pre-teen years.
Duff walking the wide green lawns of Mortske Manor is a magnificent visual. There is something about The Duff Dog that’s magical! Waiting a long time to finally see the Caddy video, and it was worth every minute of the three plus hour epic presentation. Thank you Mortske!
Love the length and detail of your videos. Unlike some fellas, you do a good job of explaining the process. I learned to wrench like that. Great stuff!
Wheels look way more gooder after the comet wash. Thanks for persevering with this one, it was worth the effort. One of the best looking cars ever made. Great vid
i was watching this when my wife took a look for a bit. She said "He sounds like a professor for cars." The Professor. Professor Mortske. Good nickname.
Another great video !! I bet Cindy was quite a gal !! Back in 1970 my Dad bought Mom a 1960 sedan de ville for all us kids to fit in , it cost $500 , it was a great car until it wasn't , lol , as a kid I played with all the power windows and seat and you can guess what happened , power seat failed and a short in the electrical system ensued , I was 10 , after that Mom got a brand new fire engine red 1974 coupe deville with 8-track , love those old Caddys ...
Bodies were built by Fischer, front clips were built by each division. So yeah, different paint booths, in different factories and possibly in different states! It is a wonder that they matched up at all!
I remember putting the drivetrain in my 78 Oldsmobile cutlass supreme brougham black with blue vinyl top and blue and black vinyl interior and factory gold pinstripe on the black paint exterior, anyway the inner front fenders were both stamped gm, and had olds cutlass s in white paint marker down by the inner fender
Tech tip: use a church key to punch a hole on the lid of that paint can. The plastic bag doesn’t work. Pour the paint into a separate container. When finished, plug the hole in the can with plumbers putty. 60% of the time, it works every time. Btw… church keys should be magnetic. Peace.
Thanks for a great video. i really love the sixty cad. I'm the same age by the way. In Sweden, these cars are significantly more expensive. I've been thinking about buying one, but my garage is a bit too tight. Looking forward to the next video. Keep up the good work!
Daaaang! You brought that finish back nicely Sir Mortikus! And quite honestly, I believe just about any color would look nice with those white steelies! Thanks again for yet another epic Mortske adventure! Much love & God bless!~ Scott 💙🙏🏼
Hey Mortske, I appreciate your channel more and more! You put in a fair bit of work on the Caddy and really saved her! I like how you put everything into the one video (one and done) but still feel like I'd like to see things like the head being sent off and machined etc...👍Mojo is the man! He is Mojo and never lost it!
So good to finally see you all work on the Caddy and drive it! It’s been in the back of the videos so long. Hope you keep it. Tech tip of the day, antenna will go up and down when you pull/push the radio knob. (If you didn’t know)
I own a 59 flat top sedan. Only car I've owned that's worth 4x more in parts than a running driving vehicle. Definitely don't throw away anything on that car. But there's nothing like a 59-60 caddy
Yes those are really rare the back window is almost impossible to find, I thought the back window matched up with the 1959 Chevrolet El Camino but it's different. Cadillac don't make any reproduction parts so owning a Cadillac you have to be a hunter for looking for parts. That's why these day's most are being kustmized because the parts are very expensive. I have a friend that inhierte 2 Cadillac from his grandfather 1956 and his Father's 1958 convertible both are painted black and car show garage kept.
Technically even my second gen dodge ram fits this description since i gave $1,500 when i bought it and it's got more than that in just the completely rebuilt front suspension and stainless steel brake lines in the truck 2000 dodge ram laramie slt quad cab long bed 318 magnum V8 46 RE automatic overdrive transmission manual shift transfer case lever on the floor gloss black with most of the white pinstripe, truck is from northern Ohio so it has rust around the edges and the front fenders are rusted out over the wheels but it retains its factory ignition key with the Rams head cut into the plastic on the key and the original Ohio title and owners manual
Hell yeah... It's a day late but a three + hour video was worth the wait... Great video. Great car. Definitely a lot of work but that car has a second chance at life now.
Iconic car. I wonder if Bar Keepers Friend would be safe on paint. It contains oxalic acid, which goes after the rust. If it were a Mercury you would have to use Comet, obviously. Bon Ami is your good friend for windows.
I've used bar keepers on appliances (work at a cabin rental agency) sparingly. It will go through the paint if not careful. If the automotive paint is worn thin, bar keepers is going through. It's murder on ceramic coatings also.
You sure did sink some hours into this land yacht and made a video of epic proportions!! These Caddy's are always a blast to drive, I'm waay out of touch with prices, last time I went to buy a 59 coupe it was 5k!! (matt black and with the dark blue carpet I almost didn't notice the big holes in the floor!). Thanks Mortske!
Shows how much time, money and effort a full resto takes. I like em like that. Ima supreme guy when it comes to early caddy’s, but those don’t offend too bad. Love them 60’s
I haven't sat and watched a show more than 3 hours long since Dances with Wolves. You're no Kevin Costner but thanks for providing us with 3 hours of distraction from this crazy world that we're living in. Keep up the good work dude!
I watched the whole video, the 59 caddie is iconic this has to be a keeper love how you had it pulled out the barn left for dead and slowly transformed it back to life. Great choice of wheels and tires until you find the right wheel covers. Not shire the wheel covers you show look like 1958 caddie wheel covers. My friend's Father has a 1958 convertible Caddie and the wheels look like hub caps but it's the wheel itself I know he said they are very hard to find the rims if not impossible. They make reproduction wheel covers even those are pricey just for wheel covers. I agree I like the all in one video I know it's a lot of work to up load and do everything before hand thanks you and Duff 👍🏾
That’s a great achievement but it doesn’t over shadow the fact that in 1966 Al Bundy scored 4 touchdowns in the championship game vs Andrew Johnson High school.
“Flexi-exhaust pipe, I don’t even know if I hate those!” 😂 That was classic! Definitely gave me a good laugh. That should be a Mortske shirt “I don’t even know if I hate that!”
Truly appreciate the fact that you drop some old-school hip-hop in there. Really let me know that found its way all across America even back in the 80s and 90s.

Agreed, especially 4 door pillerless for formal cars they look great specially on standard rims.
I've not heard anyone complain about "4 door" cars since the 80's!!
He said the frame was rotted beyond repair. It's not like he was parting out a drivable 4 door for his 2 door.
Nothing like having a friend like MoJo or a dog like Duff.

For the Comet thing. Wet down the metal. Sprinkle the dry Comet over it like you are salting down a brisket. Then scrub with the Scotchbrite pad or even the dish scrubber sponge with the plastic scrubby side from the dollar store. Let the slightly moistened powder act as the cutting agent. Works on bathtub stains too kinda

Better than his stock car name...... "Bubba Mortske". I'm not sure he liked that name when I laid it on him when e was working on the blue Camaro.

I swear I seen that old caddy smile 😌...
So good to finally see you all work on the Caddy and drive it! It’s been in the back of the videos so long. Hope you keep it. Tech tip of the day, antenna will go up and down when you pull/push the radio knob. (If you didn’t know)
I love the old international stuff. That dozer is cool, the snowmobile is too
I own a 59 flat top sedan. Only car I've owned that's worth 4x more in parts than a running driving vehicle. Definitely don't throw away anything on that car. But there's nothing like a 59-60 caddy
Except for my 58...😁
Yes those are really rare the back window is almost impossible to find, I thought the back window matched up with the 1959 Chevrolet El Camino but it's different. Cadillac don't make any reproduction parts so owning a Cadillac you have to be a hunter for looking for parts. That's why these day's most are being kustmized because the parts are very expensive. I have a friend that inhierte 2 Cadillac from his grandfather 1956 and his Father's 1958 convertible both are painted black and car show garage kept.
I've had 8 vehicles that fit that description worth 4 times more in parts than a normal running and driving vehicle..lol
Technically even my second gen dodge ram fits this description since i gave $1,500 when i bought it and it's got more than that in just the completely rebuilt front suspension and stainless steel brake lines in the truck 2000 dodge ram laramie slt quad cab long bed 318 magnum V8 46 RE automatic overdrive transmission manual shift transfer case lever on the floor gloss black with most of the white pinstripe, truck is from northern Ohio so it has rust around the edges and the front fenders are rusted out over the wheels but it retains its factory ignition key with the Rams head cut into the plastic on the key and the original Ohio title and owners manual
Hell yeah... It's a day late but a three + hour video was worth the wait...
Great video. Great car. Definitely a lot of work but that car has a second
chance at life now.
Appreciate it!
Iconic car. I wonder if Bar Keepers Friend would be safe on paint. It contains oxalic acid, which goes after the rust. If it were a Mercury you would have to use Comet, obviously. Bon Ami is your good friend for windows.
same concept I presume
I've used bar keepers on appliances (work at a cabin rental agency) sparingly. It will go through the paint if not careful. If the automotive paint is worn thin, bar keepers is going through. It's murder on ceramic coatings also.
@@rssvss Good to know!
You could always try vinegar.
At the end of the day, it's still an abrasive so any product as such you'd have to use caution....baby steps.
You sure did sink some hours into this land yacht and made a video of epic proportions!! These Caddy's are always a blast to drive, I'm waay out of touch with prices, last time I went to buy a 59 coupe it was 5k!! (matt black and with the dark blue carpet I almost didn't notice the big holes in the floor!). Thanks Mortske!
Shows how much time, money and effort a full resto takes. I like em like that. Ima supreme guy when it comes to early caddy’s, but those don’t offend too bad. Love them 60’s
Daaaang (insert puddin voice here) lol. Thats a true land yacht. needs an anchor instead of brakes. lol Thanks for the hugemongous upload sir!
lol
3 Hrs 21 min. 17 Sec. Of Caddy Love!!!
you never say stop love it
I respect all the hard work and determination
I haven't sat and watched a show more than 3 hours long since Dances with Wolves. You're no Kevin Costner but thanks for providing us with 3 hours of distraction from this crazy world that we're living in. Keep up the good work dude!
Wow, thanks!
Remember, every day is a good day but some days are better than others
absolutely!
Get em Mortske and Duff-ster! Or what's that Puddin says, "Mortecus, Morticus" or whatever! Sir Morticus and Squire Duff!
Now this, THIS I get...nice sled.
I watched the whole video, the 59 caddie is iconic this has to be a keeper love how you had it pulled out the barn left for dead and slowly transformed it back to life. Great choice of wheels and tires until you find the right wheel covers. Not shire the wheel covers you show look like 1958 caddie wheel covers.
My friend's Father has a 1958 convertible Caddie and the wheels look like hub caps but it's the wheel itself I know he said they are very hard to find the rims if not impossible.
They make reproduction wheel covers even those are pricey just for wheel covers. I agree I like the all in one video I know it's a lot of work to up load and do everything before hand thanks you and Duff 👍🏾
I don't usually watch 3+hr videos but this one was good. Them old Caddys were sweet. I had a friend who had a '71 Fleetwood.
Right on
That’s a great achievement but it doesn’t over shadow the fact that in 1966 Al Bundy scored 4 touchdowns in the championship game vs Andrew Johnson High school.
Never forget!
😂😅
Cool Caddy!!!!!!!!!!!! 👍☕
I always thought the 60 was the best looking! There was a black one in the area, it looked like a Batmobile!
Masterpiece! Video and all the work on the car. Thank you everyone!😊
Our pleasure!
Like the steelies and caps, this rig reminded me of Ghostbusters hearse....
MoJo will get the job done with a measuring tape and some clamps, LOL. I respect MoJo.....
We all do!
This one ought to piss off the jackwads who complain that the videos are too long! I love it.😂
No doubt!
“Flexi-exhaust pipe, I don’t even know if I hate those!” 😂 That was classic! Definitely gave me a good laugh.
That should be a Mortske shirt “I don’t even know if I hate that!”
Truly appreciate the fact that you drop some old-school hip-hop in there. Really let me know that found its way all across America even back in the 80s and 90s.
