1960 Plymouth Fury Daily Driver Special! Part 2: No Turning Back Now!

- Hi! More on the Fury Project today! This time we'll disassemble the Plymouth Hardtop and cut off all of the coupe-only body parts to combine with the Dodge platform.
I'll insert this from the description in the first video:
I suspect that there will be a few people who think that this is some kind of tragedy to take the Dart apart and use the floor to save the much rarer and infinitely more desirable Fury Hardtop, but I wanted to point out a couple of things here so that I do not have to repeat myself in the comments section:
- The Dart was not a complete car. The glass, bumpers, and a bunch of the trim and lights were missing. It was not a viable restoration project. Lots of poor bodywork under the red primer; no loss to use it as a donor. Every single usable part of the Dart will be saved and sold to help other people restore their cars.
- Good Dart 4 door sedans are out there; it was not rare or special.
- The Dart was for sale locally for a long time. No one bought it.
- I bought the Dart at a well-advertised public auction; anyone so determined to try to save the car could have just showed up and held up their hand and bought it.
- The Fury chassis was so rusty that this was the only realistic way to save such a rare and special machine. The rockers, floors, frame rails, trunk floor and wheelhouses were all completely useless. The engine was seized, the brakes and exhaust were long gone, the windshield was broken, and there was very little that could be salvaged other than the trim and Fury-specific parts.
- No one other than me who showed up to look at the Fury was willing to do anything other than strip parts and scrap the car. As soon as I saw how awesome it was, I knew I had to save it with this ambitious rebuild idea.
- Finally: Nothing about this is illegal. I legally own both cars. I can cut them both up, or do whatever I want with them. This is essentially just a comprehensive rust repair job. I am not building this car to re-sell, or to make money from it in any way. The serial and body numbers will be 1960 Plymouth Fury, and the Dodge parts will be sold to help other people restore theirs. If I were to represent this as an all-original car, that would be a different story. Of course, filming the process and sharing it with everyone kind of makes that an impossibility. The car will be fully inspected and roadworthy when it is finished. It will be a 1960 Fury, 2 door hardtop. The chassis are identical, and the only difference between the two models when they were new was the external sheet metal and trim.
Anyway, just wanted to get that out of the way so we can have some real fun and save this wonderful and outrageous space-ship of a car! Please join us as we first do the major splice, followed by all of the rest of the work to put this Fury back on the road where it belongs!
Next video we will get busy "cleaning up" the pieces so they can be assembled into a single unit again.
All the very best from me and Miss Frankers and the rest of the fellas who help out on this stuff just for the laughs!
Scott - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Experience and skill are evident here. A man rolling in gravel, in the dark and cold, drilling out spot welds for hours can only be explained as Passion. I'm right there vicariously, with the same warm and cozy joy of viewing a snowy, sub-freezing NFL game on TV sitting next to my woodstove.
The world would be a duller place without loonatics like you .Enjoy every video. Keep up the good work!
What a reclamation project.... FANTASTIC!!
I can't understand how anyone would be upset, this is genius.
I missed all this before and didn't realize how the Fury rust was dealt with. A lot of work has been done. The Fury has come an awfully long way!
I don't think I could sleep at night going through all the details of this huge job in my mind. Best of luck Scott and the team. All in the UK.
You always amaze me. I love the fact that you give these old vehicles new life. Most people I know just would not touch these vehicles. Too much rust, too much work. Being a native of the Southwest United States has spoiled us.
This will no doubt end up being THE coolest thing I've ever seen on YT...and I've watched a LOT of YT!!
You are a sculptor of vintage automobiles. You definitely have the passion of an artist.
Wow, the dashpad! Working on 1960/61 Mopars for over 30 years, never saw a dashpad in such a good condition.
The donor car was well on its way going back to nature. This must be the most clever car amalgamation on the web!
WOW. Who else would appreciate this old Fury enough to do this much work? Thank you!
I do. Love the 60 Fury. 61 a little more
Hard to believe that you have a vision for these rust heaps. Amazing.
Virgil Exner would be proud.
My grandfather had a Fury, and I remember the headlights being totally rusted out not that long after he got it. Weird to think how many cars like these, in even better condition, were thrown into crushers back in the day. ;)
I was having a shitty week. Then I logged into TH-cam and found 2 new episodes. Grabbed some frosty beer and settled in for the best entertainment I've had for a while. I watched you drag the Fury out of the horse shit and this is the long anticipated resurrection.
Certainly worth another look from where she first went under... Epic project
Watching the progress , love this car. I remember watching the video when you had originally found it, gave me a new found appreciation for these forward look cars. So many neat cars from that era, not just the Bel-Airs..
My parents owned a 1657 Plymouth Belvedere in the early 1960's. It was so rusty, we could see the street from the back seats. My father put sheet metal down under what was left of the carpet, so we would not fall through. The headlamps were ready to fall out of it also. It was traded for a new 1964 Ford Galaxy, so the car was only about 7 years old. All the cars rusted rather quickly back then, but the Chrysler products really were the worst for rusting.
Re-visit this morning: my jaw still drops when the top of the Fury is severed from the base.
I've still never seen this done anywhere else - ever. Amazing....

I'm amazed Scott! This will be a great series and hopefully we all share and you gain a whole lot more viewers.
That will be a SUPER Car,That was the Right Choice. HOLY RUST BUCKET.Excellent work to all the Agents.Scott and Franker's. Holy ReBuild Scott!
Back in the early 80s,my friends older brother bought 2 65 mustang fastbacks,one was a head-on collision,the other was a back end hit up to the back seats.It took him 6 years to cut and weld it all together into a one piece show car! all by himself! I know you will make your car good too!
The best Show in North America...
You will forget how much work this was, when every body is turnig heads when you drive by in your new Fury
This project is absolutely wonderfully insane
Awesome job, Scott. You are an automotive visionary. I have enjoyed this series immensely.
This is definitely a real Christine project, bringing a Fury back from beyond the dead, structural brightwork and all...
Wonderful. Just wonderful. The best half hour of my day by miles.
This is awesome stuff. Love hearing your thoughts and what you need to do before you do it. Cant wait to see how this progresses. Thank you for sharing. Pennsylvania, USA here.
The world is very fortunate that you use your genius for good rather than evil. My question is how did you manage to find so many faithful friends (agents) to aid you? I can't even get two people to help me move. WTF!
Mike
Only a die hard mopar fan would do this, Rock on Scott!
One penny closer to the end...( oh wait Canadian penny is worth slightly less , minor set back ). Coolest project ever!
There are no more Canadian pennies.
If anybody can put these two messes together this dude can! It'll look excellent too, I bet. Looking forward to the next video!
So much Wow.
I am not intimidated easily but your project does ,and yet inspiration also is present.
"It's still going to look like a bag of ass" Why I keep watching- for gems like that one.
That’s a monumental job. But what a unique finished product you will have! There can’t be many 60 Fury’s left in the world. They were so ugly that they were beautiful. I have a 64 sport Fury in Bahama blue with white top. Every option including the swivel seats and record player. Been my baby for 20 years now. Can’t wait to see the progress. !!!
I have to say that I share feelings about the passenger side quarter panel. When you removed the trim it was so amazing that it was still hanging on, because literally there was nothing for it to be attached to! Hope you find at least another quarter although scoring another whole body would certainly be nice. And I totally agree that a Will It Run episode on what's left of the Fury would be quite hilarious! I'm enjoying this series so much so much. Cheers!
That's some incredible work from you and the agents. You show them the project and they're like, let's get it done. Looks like a huge job ahead but you guys will make it work and have some cold beerskis when youre finished!
I extremely admire your tenacity and skills with these old cars. You gentlemen just get right after it with no fear. You have my RESPECT!
Can't wait for part 3
This is going to be a miniseries. Gotta use that jetson dashboard. If I knew of a 60 fury quarter I'd toss it in the back of my 78 Dodge and deliver it.
This looks to be an extremely complicated project but with your knowledge I am sure it will look right when it is complete.
Huge undertaking! You're the man Scott!
Them cars were rust buckets from the factory but man they were beautiful. Lots tech for there day. Great videos.
Chrysler undertook a massive rustproofing program after the 1957 debacle. Worked fine until the aspen/volare twins
What matters is how great that steering wheel is! Great to have an update so soon, please keep them coming.
I love what you're doing. That's one hell of an undertaking and pot's legal up there now. What can be better. Except if it gets more expensive. I love your work and look forward to taking this adventure with. So nice to have good friends to help you out. Had to be party time after that, lol.
Such a cool project to see happen! Thanks so much for your videos! I cant wait to see this thing completed
these 1960 furys are unibody cars. the older models up to 59 were body on frame vehicles, but by 1960, it was all unibody from what i heard.
and i love the design of the 1960 fury!
Hard to believe that THIS was the start of your beautiful Fury. Such great work you have done.
By the way Scott the shirts are awesome top quality, thanks for doing another run of shirts
I love this build, I can't wait for the next eppisode. Thank you !
Wow. What an amazing challenge for you on this project! I can tell you are totally in your element and I think that's really awesome. I can't wait to watch the rest. Dad had a '60 Fury with a continental kit that I rolled down the driveway, across the road and into a ditch playing with the buttons on the dash when I was 3! He's never really forgiven me, but loves to tell the story. 😜
Scott: Your Therapist must be "looking for a Therapist" !! 😉 Already enjoying seeing how such a ambitious undertaking plays out and how a craftsman goes about identifying and solving the challenges that are present and "pop up". Thanks for sharing so much of the "thought process" that's involved. Please keep doing that. I'm having a hard time re-designing the park brake system on my car so I can't imagine having all of this to figure out. 👍👍👍✌️
There can't be many of these finned beauties left, so good on you for saving the Fury. Really surprised at the good condition of the Dodge. Able surprised that the two are compatible enough to do the swap.
Awesome project ! Coldwarmotors channel brings me alot of enjoyment! THanks !
Great project! Watch out for hernias, guys. That cutoff looked pretty heavy!
TH-cam just recommended your channel to me with part one of this build. When I saw the cars on your property I knew I had see them before. I have driven past you place a few times for work. I'll defiantly be subscribing and watching how this all turns out.
What a massive undertaking you guys have to take the fury apart and then even a larger undertaking to swap it onto the other car. Thanks for sharing your work on video.
I really enjoy what your doing...keep up the good work. Cheers
What a big job! I’ve seen your work, though, and it speaks for itself. This will turn out beautifully.
Can’t wait for the next installment of the splicing
Best Channel on the You Tube by far .....Keep 'em coming Scott !
the boxy steering wheel on such a curvy car left me scratching my head and doin' double takes
#trippy
Your dedication to every skillfully accomplished project is amazing. This is an automotive archeological dig.
I was working in the lab late one night.
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
'When an XKE pulled up on the right.."
oh, wait, wrong song. Dammit. lol
It'll be fine. Just needs some tidying.
Just get rid of the whiskey dings and grampa dents, follow up with a sketchy dust-in.....CWM for the WIN!!
Great work gentlemen !! This car will be gorgeous when done . Cheers 🍺
Wow, what a massive undertaking to start on! But you have the skills and a good crew to make it happen. Looking forward to updates as this progresses.
After seeing the floor rot on the Fury, now I can understand all the work going into the splice.
Incredible! I decided to watch this whole series at once so I could see it with more continuity. You are unbelievable. I will never look at another sixties Fury without thinking of you ever again. I'm in fact beginning to believe that it's eveen more iconic of the times than the 1959 Caddie. It seems just like the car that my high school science teacher should have driven (he in fact drove a 1962 Buick before trading it in on a 1964 Buick Riviera the year I graduated). I still love, lust and want to own the MAC that you have. You do still own it don't You?!
They named it right when they called it Fury, it what you feel when you get half way through a project on one of them!
I didn't realize the Fury was in that rough of condition.
This is going to be the most loved '60 Fury in all of Canada, and rightfully so. *big big thumbs up*
Hooray! A rare cameo appearance by a woman in a CWM video!
Super Het and a cutie!
There's no two ways about it, that poor old Fury wasn't far from collapsing under the weight of the less rusty turret pushing down on the rotten lower panels and structure. This car was definitely caught just in time, another winter and it would have been over and just fit for Chinese tin cans...
I would love to meet you or even just chat with you sometime Scott! AMAZING! Im doing much of the same on my 61 Chrysler NewYorker two door....Only I saved the original roof on it, But even that took three months of fabrication to get rid of the inner and outer rot..... Also, only 2500 and some change Two doors made...So Im getting creative with quarters using four door quarters and rear doors skins..... To make one good quarter for a two door....
Love the video! But no Franker. I hope she is well.
Keep it up you have a Great Chanel! Thanks
Oh man! Ii'm so stoked on this project! I've been waiting for this to happen since you first bought the Fury! also, these two videos really show how much of an involved process this is and how much courage you've got taking this on, which I'm sure you'll solve no problem based on your work I've seen in the past. great work!
Can't wait to see you work on it again.
GRAVY!!
Well, we didn't have any Frankers, so whaddaya want, eh?
I just spent a half hour, jaw agape, in utter amazement. I just kept muttering to the misses "no friggin way....no friggin way"
as I watched this spectacle unfold.
Finally, reality returned me to my senses and it sank in that Scott was ACTUALLY DOING THIS.
Do not adjust your TV screens.
Do not try this at home.
These are trained professionals...
I can't wait to see what comes next. :-)
Y'all be safe...errr never mind that, just don't die on camera please,
-Ed on the Ridge
Same here Ed!! Well said!!
WOW this great. good luck in finding another rear quarter.
Not only do you save a crazy cool car but you show what community is all about
Thank you for painting this badboy blue! Because damned near everyone of these cars is light green metallic. I don't like anything green except money! Lol!
Good camera work, but we still miss Dean.
Another great video and great use of a 4 door incomplete parts car to save a rare 60 Fury, keep up the good work and throw Frankers a Milk Bone.
I think the 4 door was complete, just not desirable. Just because it's rare doesn't mean it's valuable...
You talk to much
The bravest bunch of car nuts ever !!
Buddy, you sure have some good friends
Scott See Stephen king was onto something..A boy possesed by a Fury...Love your ambition Carry on soldier!
Big Brass Balls Brother From Another Mother. AWESOMENESS
.......... I like the Canadian word GRAJ for where you put your car.
I am impressed at how fast you sliced up the dodge that far already myself. And you're still going hard at it I see.. Excellent, my fave channel building one of my fave year-models. A REAL fave thing here for me here. You( have to) have both vision AND ability, and this is some great work imo.
Will be great to see that 60 Fury going down the road again! the episodes can't come fast enough.
2.38 am ......Cold War puts out a video. I'm awake for at least the next 30 minutes 👍👍
1.50am here. Worth the lack of zzz
lethal-0-lee .......Hell yeah 👍👍
This Car belongs in a Museum when done...! It is too good for driving around in dirt and rain !
Going to be a lot of hard work for you fellas but in the end it will be well worth the saving of the car! Can’t wait to see more and the finished product!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
bg technically not the saving of "the car" it is the death of 2 cars to make one hybrid Plodge that looks like a Plymouth. Canada likes Plodges and as a kid in Chicago I used to love checking out the '57-'59 Plodges with Dodge fronts and Ply rears or DeSoto fronts with Plymouth backs - very weird but cool. 🚗
cuda426hemi yes. I know it’s a combo hybrid but I also
Look at it as saving history even though it was never a real conglomeration of parts. And yes. Still very cool. I have a 48 dodge pikithouse which has 85 fifth avenue suspension rear end and engine. Another conglomeration which I totally live!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
My bud and I did an Estate Sale a few months ago - Hollywood stunt guy ...long story short my bud bought an unrestored excellent condition pink on black '55 Dodge Coronet for "nothing". Now if we could drop a Tesla drivetrain in these relics ....0-60 in 4 seconds would be neat in a '55 Mopar.
cuda426hemi now I’d like to see that!!! Totally cool
OMG, more of what you started with.
Respect, just respect at your determination and vision.
big car, big job. Well done guys!
Easy job , should be done by Thursday !! You have a great bunch of friends ,you know theyre a good bunch of guys to do this shit lol !
Dude. Your skills are amazing. I won't be so presumptuous as to speak for all of the other agents on this side of the screen, but your 'can-do' attitude is quite inspiring. The projects that you take on are not small. You don't "swap out" things like water pumps, you rebuild them! The Citroen, the Race car, the Kaiser et al. Wild stuff, man. I'm blown away by this , and even tho it's almost midnight, I'm going over to my 66 Triumph Tr6SR (w/a Bonneville head) and start sorting the pieces for this weekend's 'tidy' . Thanks, Scott, for takin' us along, it's a wild ride, and I hope I get to hang around the yard one day and shoot the shit with ya...
