14:57 Mayhap Dennis' next investment should be a tilt-bed trailer to get rid of the aggravation of lining up ramps when brakes are locked up. It would also make the trailer more adaptable with smaller wider vehicles.
@@lukasgarage956 So....the added labor of jacking it up, pull the wheel, pull the drum/CALIPER then re-install the wheel is less struggle than tilting a trailer bed which, with Dennis' resources, would invariably be hydraulic?
@@amadeo_serrano ja sure dude .....but how many uploads have you seen these guys go through this same thing.......sure a tilt trailer is the way to go ......but no trailer pull the damn wheel and move on.
And thats the hardest I have ever seen Mr Dennis Collins WORK in all my years watching him , LOL . PS I know he is a hard working man to get where is now in life .
Whoever is driving the truck /trailer should always be responsible to check that all basic items necessary for loading are contained on /in the truck. No exceptions or excuses. The five minutes that this would take can save hours of problems. This protocol is an absolute necessity , as you just found out! Also, while the driver is checking for trays, rollers, jacks, etc., he should also check for flashlights,tools, and the state of the battery on the wench! No matter who else is supposed to do this, the driver will always suffer if it’s not done, so surely he needs to be the responsible party.
Doing this on a weekly basis , and denis being a vry smart guy 😂 you would think they would have caught on to buying 4 serving trays to put under the wheels to slide it really easy onto the trailer
Or dollies, and a pneumatic jack, a solar panel for the winch's battery, and some universal wheels. Or better yet, a rotating flatbed... With his resources, that's what I would do.
Personally, It would have been faster to just jack it up , which I see they did once, but I assume this is a drum brake car, so just takes a little adjustment of backing off the brake adjusters. The sam way they gonna have too do once they get it in the shop.Thats the first thing I would try, and I have bought and loaded far less cars as Dennis
Why not just a car dolly?? Pull the front tires onto the dolly and the back wheels were rolling. Problem solved. If you worry about the transmission it takes 10 minutes to drop the drive shaft. Problem solved.
If you ever have a car with locked up brakes like that, you can try cutting the brake hoses to release pressure. Old brake hoses collapse internally which makes them behave as if they're one way valves preventing the brakes from releasing. So a cut as close to the wheel as possible is your best bet. It's not guaranteed, but I've found that it works more often than not. Besides any car sitting 20+ years needs new hoses anyway.
Shawn P and Dennis, I'm a fan of the lunch trays, but when you (might) find yourself in todays position again, a spray bottle from any dollar store , water, dishwashing soap, and the accelerator, a couple ounces of bleach...spray down pavement, ramps, and wood or diamond plate on your trailer to exponentially lower your friction coefficient between tires and rolling surfaces. 2-3 man job as you did today; 1 on the winch and one pushing on side of car/steering. It can fall off ramps easier so good communication is key. If you have a jack on the back or rear tires are rolling like today, easier by 50%> That's a Sweet 64 Stingray. I'll be sampling BBs next time I'm in Houston. Great video as usual. All your guys...Alex ( kicked those extra pounds to the curb!), James, Sean P, ,and Crackerjack Zack the Professional cameraman. Youve assembled a kick ass team Mr. Collins. Cameos by your brother, daughter, and family n friends get together s @ event venues make this way, way more than a car content video. Thanks for taking us all with you on your adventures and car buys. the Texas Chipster
There was an old trick with wheels locked up that I used to use and that was remove hubcaps put a sponge on the wheel and hit with a club hammer, that used to shock the brakes free 9 times out of ten
I would like to recommend you guys carry 4-8 plastic dinner trays like you could get at McDonalds or more likely a cafeteria type place. Put one of the trays under each of the stuck wheels....and you can pull that sucker anywhere you want. Might still be fun getting it up on ramps like that, so pick up a rollback trailer. No ramps needed.
Graham here from South Africa. Great job my brother. Continue doing your calling, and rescue as many classics as possible. Wish we had vehicles like these in South Africa 😢.
Watch some of the tow truck guys. They have plastic wedges about 6" wide, and a foot long, with a large bump on the fat end. They push the wedge under the wheel, drag the wheel up onto the wedge, and the locked wheels slide right up the roll back truck. I would guess some kind of Teflon plastic.
You need to replace that trailer with a power tilt trailer.. Hook your hooks, tilt up and back to the wheels and winch.. No monkeying around with those risky ramps.. alot safer.. Bought mine 5 years ago and will never go back to ramps...It paid for itself with the time it saved.. Love the show guys..👍👍
Tow truck guys use these slides to put under the tires to help them slide when the wheels are locked up, they kind of look like a comma from the side. They work pretty well and would make this a ton easier.
Hey guys , if you keep a couple of old road signs in your truck , when situations like this arise , you simply throw one under each locked up wheel to act as 'friction plates' , and then the car will slide right up the ramps ... Lol cool car ..
Add a small bottle of dish soap to the trailer boxes (or borrow some from the home owner) you'll be suprised how slippery it makes the surface. And its not ridiculously harmful to the environment. I have loaded many wrecks on a flat bed this way.
@@stephenlea5765 I heard that after I wrote the comment. My ego tells me he read my comment I made some years ago about getting them. I don't really believe that but I'm glad he took someone's advice and got some. I have used them on many occasions and they are a life saver. I know some of the older videos they really struggled and I was yelling at the screen to get some plastic trays!!!! Thanks Stephen!
I love those C2s. And early Corvettes in general. I think I have seen enough Mustangs and Jeeps for a while. Loved this one: It is a convertible, it is red, has a hardtop and it runs!!!
yep. Not interested in any back stories or history this time. A bit rude really surprisingly. And the finger pointing should include himself. He is the boss after all and has done this enough times to know he should check to make sure the guys have everything in the trucks etc.....that they need.
Agree. Also, with the type and volume of business Dennis does, you would think he could afford to invest in some decent equipment to load up his cars.@@darrylcampbell4411
'64 is the least valuable C2 since it doesn't have the Split Window and still has drum brakes - plus it's the year before the Big Block became available. I'd still take one - especially a convertible with the hard top.
I owned a 64 Corvette Convertible in 66 sold in 71 for Senior Year tuition. 327 365 HP, Muncie Close ratio, 3.73 Rear Gear, White with Ted white interior, White rag top and Hard Top. I loved that car, and watching you drag that thing around was killing me. Pop the hub caps, (Nice Chrome Ones), Jack up the wheel, knock off the axle nut cover, pull the axle nut and yank on the wheel bang on the brake from the back side usually they can be broken lose that way. Oh that was so bad. Ouch! Dennis
Man, a little less LSD and paint chips for that fellow. Looked like he was tweeking the whole time. Dennis, you deserve a medal for getting that Vette out of there.
Nice find Dennis even thou the '64 is the stepchild car to all the others. Have your mechanic check the position/timing of the distributor. It's physically out of place. Should be pointed more clockwise toward the #6 cylinder. It's a good chance the dizzy gear is out 180* causing the dizzy to be in the current position. The dimple on the gear is suppose to match the #1 position at the rotor tip.
I worked in Traffic Enforcement for 30 years and watched many tow truck drivers use dish soap to slide vehicles with a locked wheel on to their deck. Worked well and the tire was sqweeky clean afterwards!
DAWN DISH SOAP. Always keep a bottle of Dawn and an empty one with the squirt nipple . A repo man taught me when you don't have the tools soap down the ramps and bed ( mix the dawn down , using it straight will be a pain if it dries out on the tow home.) and the cars tires will slide like they where on ice. Another pro tip is always carry a bar of soap in the truck. You can use it in a emergency to plug a oil pan or a raider and it will get you down the road to where you can address the issue .
Thought this was a lot of extra work to get it on. A couple of months ago I put a wrecked C2 with no wheels in a moving truck with a floor jack/2 2x6's and a ratchet strap and it was easier than this looked.
Hi Dennis, Liquid dish soap such as Dawn under the tires will have a ca with locked up bakes sliding like a sled on ice. Back in the 1960's in NYC car thieves used to use dish liquid to rock and push them sideways out of tight parking spots when stealing them. Back then on weekends at the Disco we used to box my brothers 1966 vette (327 solid lifters 365HP) by double parking my 1969 Mustang fastback (sportsroof) (351CI 3:50 rear next to it so the thieves could not slide it out of a tight parking spot because I had theft insurance and he did not.
Have a '64 ProStreet Corvette that's been up on jackstands since '06 and my front disc brakes are stuck also. I just got home from kidney cancer surgery and hopefully, if i actually survive, to get the pink car back out on the road. Along with wife's '67 black Tri-Power coupe. It's been sittin bout the same time frame. Needs rear alignment mostly. Ya'll keep up the great work. I know it's a business for ya but thanks for saving some extremely fine rides. Perhaps ya'll will meet a couple of our old Corvettes and Mustangs.....and lots of spare parts. I can't do em justice anymore. Sad, that be. rick in Tennessee.
Yep,..every recovery has its own issues when you have to work with what you have...car wasn't damaged so its a win win ....sounds good after all that time with a new fuel delivery. / T
Hey Dennis, that little red Corvette just didn’t want to be bothered after being in a deep sleep for years. But, she lost oh well! 😄 Very nice ride! 👍😎🔥🇺🇸
In 1973 I was a Vehicle Maintenance instructor for the US Air Force in Rantoul, Illinois. I joined a local Corvette club and the first thing they asked me was, "what year & model do you have?" "I have a '63 convertible and a '65 convertible with both tops." The room went silent until someone said something like, 'holy shit, you have 2 Vettes?"

We used to carry a spray bottle with dish water and dawn dish soap in it sprayed on the metal trailer and ramps it will slide right on there .

Please don't step over a taught winch cable. Would be weird having to call you Denise 😧
Great job and great audio again.
Nice find Dennis even thou the '64 is the stepchild car to all the others. Have your mechanic check the position/timing of the distributor. It's physically out of place. Should be pointed more clockwise toward the #6 cylinder. It's a good chance the dizzy gear is out 180* causing the dizzy to be in the current position. The dimple on the gear is suppose to match the #1 position at the rotor tip.
Throw a little dirt on the ramps and trailer in front of the locked up tires.
