Such a sweet car. So original. I really would clean out the sump pan first. Give it some love..The benefit of an engine thats been sat long is all the crap in the oil sits at the bottom. Takes the sump off, clean out that grey gunge. Refill with nice clean oil. Give it some love, saves sucking all that crap up from the sump that the car was running witbmh for years, saves sucking that gunge into the oilways. That really is such a sweet car. I love originality. Especially upholstry. Nice to see you can still find real gems. Its taken me years to settle on which American car I like the most. The subtle year changes, the super styling. Finally I settled on the 1958 Pontiac. Or similar GM body type..Really would like to find a a nice one with a nice blue/greeen turquoise interior..Difficult being over here. Seen a few in your yard visits!
Actualy you dont have a Belair; that package was avail until 1952. Nice clean csr. Those 6 bangers are bulletproof. Looking firward to seeing progress.
This is a very cool old car. Prime candidate to take a junkyard LS and computer, injectrion system... and may as well grab the junkyard transmission while there as well... jam it in this old lady and make a reliable runner for many years to come... keep that straight six for a T-Bucket or go-cart lol Probably need to do bushings and tie rods... put a sway bar on there [build your own sway bar for the front and the rear]. New shocks... maybe springs if they're on sale. :-)) Be such a cool hot rod bud! Have the camera ready. I just subscribed to watch this build :-) New piston rings, bearings and lap the valves... dingle ball hone the cylanders... She'll be a ripper... maybe put some nice floors in that Chevy Impala and LS it as well... they work well with those Turbo jobs :-)) Hefty main journals... yada yada :-)) Some cool rigs though bud. Noice!
Move the hose clamps back from where the hose goes on the hose barb/tube, after sliding the hose onto the tube, then loosen them enough to slide easily over the hose end. That way you won't have to fight to get the hose on. It was almost painful to watch you trying to slide the hose on with the clamp in place.
Over hear there is very much a lively rock n roll 50's and 60's scene. We try to live as close to a 1950's lifestyle. Of your into the cars your normally into the music and fashion..You have all the best records out there normally sitting in old shops!
I’m a drummer! Used to play in church! Also a touring sound engineer and own a PA company in NZ. I have a 1964 Chrysler New Yorker wagon that I just got running again! We just went back into full lockdown due to covid.
@@resurrectionauto5714 That sounds like fun! So jealous of you guys with all the cool cars you get to tinker on! We have a big classic car community here but no where near the amount of cars you have laying around!
Sounds like rocker noise. Pull the valve cover and see if the rockers are oiling, if not pull the rocker shaft, and take it all apart and clean it and adjust valves. The rocker shafts are usually very varnished.
My brother had 51 hard top just like what you have. We had a lot of fun with it after a year or so we took the 6 cylinder out and put a 283 V8 in it and really had some fun with it.
I might not be your average viewer but I can't get enough of watching 50s and 60s cars brought to life and made road worthy. I'd almost pay to see that 59 Galaxie Skyliner project especially if you've gotta eff with the roof mechanisms! I tried to help someone years ago, and we struggled for a long time without getting that puppy right. PhD Mech Engineers might walk away from that. Whoooboy.
Do you still have this car. LOL Is it for sale.? My Grandfather had this identical vehicle, right down to the color. I have two distinct memories of it. The time he brought me a surprise dog from the pound and it jumped out of the trunk, and the time I burned the tip of my tongue with the cigarette lighter. Good times.....well, the dog was at least.
my parents had a 4 door black '50 Chevy like this and I remember riding home from the hospital in the front seat with my mom and dad after having my tonsils out
i have one 1952 2dor fastback just waiting for someone with 2500.00 cash to do this been parked since 1994 barn find in very south central nebraska any takers
Cool car, engine does sound like a box of rocks. But I think you’ll figure that out. So in the fifty’s they would hot rod those sixes by putting a two carb manifold with a header. Worked well.
the only picture i get is the drivers side front fender and i m not able to do phones or computer photos its black 216 2dor less than ninety thousand miles all stock bout all i can tell u its in superior ne u can back trailer right up to might have flat tires havent looked at it for years easy place to find
Pull pump apart later off can just to see. The diaphragm actually looked good! But there are 2 check valves in there and one was locked up. It MAY be fine now after taking it all apart, but the new one is already ordered.
I would not use a fuel tank on a car that's been sitting unless it's been cleaned or you know it's clean because the junk in the tank can gum up the valves and make them sticky and gums up the carb too.
Asking out of love and respect… why aren’t you guys pulling the plugs and lubing the cylinders before cranking for the first time? These old girls need some TLC! Great videos, though.

Wrong. The first hardtop was a BelAir. It became a complete line of all body styles in 1953.
Tacohead is correct. 1950 hardtop was first year of Belair.
Top of the line Belair..first year.

Move the hose clamps back from where the hose goes on the hose barb/tube, after sliding the hose onto the tube, then loosen them enough to slide easily over the hose end. That way you won't have to fight to get the hose on. It was almost painful to watch you trying to slide the hose on with the clamp in place.
That wasn’t the issue, The hose clamp backed all the way out was still too small for the hose. They didn’t have large enough clamps.

And the horse has just handed you another 10 days of lockdown. Insanity prevails in the land of my birth.
@@Mercmad mmm…. quite happy with how things are playing out to be honest

Yeah, it’s going to have to get torn into soon
I liked that, I'm doing it here, so I don't have to crawl underneath. And promptly drops the wrench so he has to crawl underneath.DUH.
Thats a nice old ride. Hope you guys continue working on the older vehicles.
Always!! Have to keep ‘em going
A points file will make you happy.
"I am my own Grandpa".
So you married your grandma.
My first car also.1959 paid $25.for it drove it away, lol 53 2dr post I was 11 years old
Remove the fuel pump, the tank's sediment is getting into it. Add another see thru filter between the tank and fuel pump.
Yep,always a waste of fuel if you pour it into a sleeping cars tank. A boat tank up front is easier to handle ,especially one with a bulb primer.
That’s exactly the way i was running my 50 coupe
My brother had 51 hard top just like what you have. We had a lot of fun with it after a year or so we took the 6 cylinder out and put a 283 V8 in it and really had some fun with it.
I am a carpenter and I also work on old radios from the 40s to 60s and some 70s radios and I am currently restoring a 1950 oldsmobile 88
Love watching your videos guys great work
That’s awesome!
I have a 52 deluxe hardtop with the 235 engine . These old straight 6 motors are very reliable
Great video guys. My mom drove one of these when I was young, she didn't like it
Whaaaat?! We’ve had a bunch of these and love em!
Wait a minute at 0:20 you said in a previous video this was your brother's grandpa's car wouldn't that make it your grandpa too 😂
Negative. Different dads
GREAT JOB GUYS!!
Great video guys. Liked all the play by play. Keep up the good work. Makes me miss my 53 bel air though.
I had one of those back in the old days. . Couldn’t put a dent in it with a hammer.
"Keep praying and watching" Amen brother.

Old cars and riding horses is what I do for fun.
Nice to get it running!

Can you send pictures to 715-205-3023
awesome video
My first car was a 53 Chevy. I had to do this stuff EVERY time I went somewhere. Now it's a genre of youtube videos. lol
Looking forward to the house building videos. 👍
Seems like parts stores don't have a good selection of hose clamps I bought an assortment on line. GREAT CAR!!
Come on guy, the stainless screw clamps ate a dime a dozen. Way too much time wasted with something else(and endless chatter).
Cars are one of my hobbies definitely but for non-motorrelated stuff I like traveling and getting my drone up for Ariel photography
I like shooting drones. Hit one with a rock once
Cool car, engine does sound like a box of rocks. But I think you’ll figure that out. So in the fifty’s they would hot rod those sixes by putting a two carb manifold with a header. Worked well.
Yeah, it needs to get torn into a little deeper next
the only picture i get is the drivers side front fender and i m not able to do phones or computer photos its black 216 2dor less than ninety thousand miles all stock bout all i can tell u its in superior ne u can back trailer right up to might have flat tires havent looked at it for years easy place to find
How is it for rust? Glass hood, all the trim there, title?
Where's the Honda that was on the trailer with it in the thumbnail?😄 Was that a V65?
My brothers bike 😁
Isn’t your brothers grandfather also your grandfather?
Negative, step brothers
The fuel pump is junk time to get a new one it should be pumping more fuel then it is the diaphragm in the pump is all dry or has a hole in it.
Pull pump apart later off can just to see. The diaphragm actually looked good! But there are 2 check valves in there and one was locked up. It MAY be fine now after taking it all apart, but the new one is already ordered.
I would not use a fuel tank on a car that's been sitting unless it's been cleaned or you know it's clean because the junk in the tank can gum up the valves and make them sticky and gums up the carb too.

CHECK AND SEE IF IT HAS FIRE TO THE POINTS ''''
In the 1950s, the minimum wage was . 75 cents per hour. Hard to believe that was in silver not paper. God Bless!!!
Is it for sale
I always thought Christian was your brother, bro....
Your brothers grandpa isn’t that your grandpa to
