    I gotta mention, I love cars especially from the 50s and 60s. I'm not a mechanic, but after seeing a couple of videos of people restoring vintage automobiles I realize I would've loved to learn a thing or two about it. For me this is all such a wholesome video, having all the family involved, and bringing a car from the dead, cleaning it up and back on the road like that was simply terrific.. I wish you all the best and I hope your son follows your passion to restore and fix cars and becomes a mechanic or something. Much respect, and greetings from a Cuban in Florida.

    I really love your 60's cars. At my age the 50's, 60's, and early to mid 70's cars are my favs. Not saying I'm old but I knew dirt when it was still a stone. Never understood why all the auto makers made square body cars in the 80's. Maybe the design engineer s of that era grew up playing with Legos and it became ingrained that everything had to be made like a cube. 😂

    I really enjoy your videos. Very relaxing to watch. We always did everything as a family like you guys. I had three sons now 43, 40 and 38 who are all mechanical. Out of 8 grandkids only one is mechanical. My 9 year old grandson Raiden. I had a really good mechanical mentor growing up that owned a Conoco gas station not far from my house. This was when there were gas wars selling regular for 25 cents. The guy thought I was a pest at first but then he realized I wanted to learn all about being a mechanic so he started showing me how to do repairs hands on. His name was Don Crandall. A very patient guy who let me learn by making mistakes. He also taught me patience. He would say that car could care less if you are mad, sad or glad so why worry about it. I live by that to this day. I rebuilt my first engine at age 14. Ground the valves, Knurled the guides and honed the cylinders myself. Put it together and bam it started right up and ran. Keep up the good work. Thanks

Would like to see the turbo coupe and Fairmont again to see where you are at, and even the F100. The stuff growing on that car looked like it had been out to sea too long, I've seen boats with less.

    I sure do love these videos. You’ve converted me to a Dart wagon fan! And I’m 100% with you on the SNAKE 🐍 thing. I was yelling at the TV for Tosh to leave it be! OMG. When I was in my 20’s, I went fishing with two buddies and after I walked away from the car, they found a dead snake that was chopped in half. They thought it would be hilarious to place it just under the rocker of the drivers door so I would see the head next to my foot when we were leaving. Sure enough, their plan worked and I about had a heart attack and literally must have jumped 10 feet backwards. Of course they both thought it was just the funniest thing ever. I was not amused and since they were rolling on the ground laughing, I got in the car and left them there. They had to walk back about 3 miles to the campsite! I had the last laugh! That was almost 40 years ago and I remember it like it was yesterday! 😊

    The dots represent the high point on the tire. It should be oriented 180 across from the valve stem. The DOT numbers indicate the location of the factory they were built in, the size code. And the last 4 digits indicate the week and the year. For instance, 1222 would indicate the tire was built in the 12th week of 2022.
    Get you a pop up camper and take a road trip.

    We had a 1965 Dart Station wagon. Lived on a dirt road so we had mud grip tires on the rear. My mother was fearless in that thing. Go through anything. Carried us all over Texas, New Mexico and Colorado with 3 kids and a tent. I thought ours had the 225 engine but I could be wrong. Wasn’t much for speed but could climb Colorado mountains to Elk hunt. Very fond memories of that silly car

    Glad to see you wearing a 😷 When I was a kid we had an upholstery business my mom went to School to learn the trade I sew myself. All you gotta do is keep track of the order of the bars for the headliner. You take paper and make a template and measure alot but it's not that hard to make them headliners the visors are the hardest. You just trim off the couple inches of extra hanging head liner material after you stretch it and contact cement it in place. Get you a cheap industrial sewing machine. Same thing with the seats take the seat apart with a razor blade pop all the stitches and Trace the panels onto your new vinyl or cloth. It's not as hard as you would think I've been watching what y'all can do you could do it easily.

    Great Video Josh. Always enjoy them and get a laugh or two. In Australia we had the slant sixes in our early Valiants. The best engines were the 265 Hemi straight 6 with triple Webber carburettors. The Valiant AP5 or AP6 Safari Wagons were cool, they are equivalent to your Dodge Dart.
