1960 Plymouth Fury Daily Driver Special! Part 1: Splice-a-thon Gets Going!

- Hey! My 1960 Plymouth Fury has been the most requested rebuild in the history of this channel, so here we go!
In Part One here, we'll get started by taking the 4-door body apart on the Dodge Dart donor car, and get it ready to tidy up in preparation for its new role as the floor of a Fury.
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!
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
I'm looking back now that the car is almost finished. Amazing what you accomplished since this video!
Thanks for sharing your work with the rest of us. I don't know too many folks who work as hard as you do, then take the extra time to video/edit/upload so that we can be entertained. You are appreciated.
If anyone else was to attempt such a swap/splice, I'd be laughing at them. But I know this will be pure and sweet!!
This series should be required watching for body shop/car restoration students, so they can get an idea of what's possible.
I have found myself re-watching the 60 fury episodes.
Pretty much can't watch this enough times. I love the cut and paste with the images that you start out with. Genius way to show what you could already see that others may not have been able to see. And when the center post comes off, and we all see the rail that accepts the Fury door.....so cool.
It was about this time I found the channel and I remember thinking these guys have lost their minds, this will never tun again! Little did iI know, well done guys!
TH-cam Gold Scott, nobody can do it better, you're definitely the master... Bad Obsession are great engineers, but this is amazing. Cheers buddy.
It's exactly this kind of madness that makes this the best car channel on TH-cam
I watched this again after the completed Fury video, which happened years in the future.
My God 😮 Crazy idea completed in a pretty smart and sane way. (Use the word same loosely)
"What a long strange trip it's been."
Thank you for dedication and expertise. Oh, and fun 🎉🎉🎉
My favorite part of Tom's repertoire, is his endless supply of spicy profanities.
I don't know where I'd be without your channel. My reality is firmly planted in the late '50's and early 60's. The last car I owned for which I had any respect, was a '64 Chevy 2 with
the 4 cyl. Iron Duke, and three on the column. Does that date me? Yeah, I'm a dinosaur.
It's a pleasure to come back and see the start of this cars journey , the Car is beautiful now and one sweet ride !
Just noticed hadn't tumbs up love the splice episodes keep rewatching
Love it! As the former owner of a 1964/5 Plymodge ( 1964 Belvedere w/ a 1965 Coronet front clip) I must applaud your effort. I ran my basterdized Belvedere at the drags until the torque of my 440 started rippling & ripped the rusted floor. The Dodge Coronet clip (factory fiberglass from a Hemi racecar) was traded for a 67 2-dr.Valiant which became the home of the drive train.
...Great Scott !!...
I just can't get my head around it !
..a splice...!!
"Monster Garage Canada" I don't believe what I just saw (no pun intended). Well done Scott, well done, like you said a little bondo and she's a 90 point daily driver.
Man. You're not afraid of anything. Wish i was local. I would be helping you too. I love that kind of stuff. Being mopar makes it even better.
Yes indeed! it has been very exciting to watch the transformation and development of the Fury. (The 1969 Fairlane splice video is right there with it, yet far more painful to watch, that blue Fairlane sedan was sooo minty, very much like the virginal all white unattended 390 low mile 4bbl version , with bias - ply original nylon tyres I sneaked out regularly to drive at a young age during summer break from school...a benefit of being a "latch key kid" hee hee :)
My dad and his friends used to do stuff like this when I was kids so brings back a lot of good memories.
Somewhere, Dean is shedding big Dodge tears right now.
he'll buy the left over rusty parts and put them back together! LOL :-D
“Dean, make me an offer!”
Dean is being a really good sport, actually. He is going to buy all of the Dodge stuff and re-sell it so other cars can be saved...Cheers!
This is by far my favorite youtube channel! Restodan and Mustie1 are tied for second place.
JonathanW is an excellent channel too...
Agree on all of the above. Also, check out thecorvetteben. He’s good too.
I love Mustie1 channel too, gotta check out Restodan.
Yeah he is. Elderlyiron too.
Your the Mad Scientist of the car world. Love it. 🍺🍺🍺👌👌
You are BRILLIANT! And you know how to get the most out of your agents. What a COOL car is taking shape in this Night Game Edition of CWM!
Ohhh, how I wish I was there to hold the lights, and hand you tools....
At long last, the Fury resto begins and a chop job that preserves the car instead of ruining it. Full respect to
Scott and the team, can't wait for the next video. All the best from the UK.
I really enjoy watching these old cars come back to life. Thanks ColdWarMotors! This is my favorite channel!
Ah! The dreaded Plydge hybrid!
Major panel cutting is when you stop and then you realize that you still can't hear anything because your ears are ringing to beat the band. Been there - done that, on a Willys wagon. 😎
You gentlemen are the best Body men I've ever seen. And I've seen a lot of them.
This is going to be the graft to top ALL grafts! I'm excited too Frankers! This may turn out to be my favorite series (If that's possible) because I really dig what you guys do. Thanks again for sharing your skills. It's always a good day for a CWM video.
This is great, looking forward to seeing more progress videos! I wouldn't have the......guts......to do this -- but also I don't know the ins and outs of Mopars like you guys. But this does fit into the 'can-do' attitude that your videos always show. Y'all are an inspiration to the rest of us.
When Scott did his brothers highschool car I was blown away! Be prepared for it to happen again on this car! Lol!
I love your uncle's comment! Some friends of mine and I did the same thing about 30 years ago to two '69 Mustangs making a sedan into a fastback from a rusty field find. That was when you could buy three of them for $500.
God save our rusty lot,
Bless all the heaps we got,
God save our lot.
Chevies for all who want,
Plymouths for those who don't,
Fords for the nonchalant...
God save our lot.

Editor’s Note: Well, The Poet was in a meditative mood (translated as the lower third of my single malt bottle) when he puked out this ditty, supposedly to be bellowed to the tune of “God Save The Queen”. I’m sure the old gal would appreciate it if you forwarded this over there, maybe serve as a pleasant distraction to grandsons marrying American actresses and such.
marcomalo02 Sir you are a Poetic Genius! TY TY
I read the "disclaimer". The killer part was that the Dart was available but, "no one bought it." As a Fury fan, I can say that you did the right thing by buying that Dart in order to resurrect the Fury. Scott, I tip my hat to you - glad I found this channel!
A sweet old girl that got picked for the dance! Go to town on her guys... she deserves it... you guys are amazing...…!
looking forward to yet another amazing feat of automotive magic. would love to see the fury on the road again.
Awesome job, so far. I have a saying on my wall in the garage, "Rust is a must". This Plymouth should turn out fantastic considering the amount of talent you have doing body/paint work. Best wishes and we'll be watching here in Ohio!
I'm already laughing at the tonight show hummed intro ,the rest and a Frankers shot are all bonus material if you ask me! salute to you,Frankers and the agents! ☆☆☆
Hardcore George Barris/Gene Winfield type of ingenuity and dedication.
Definitely not the " Same Old Shit " morphing two cars to make a Plodge Dury . Takes a lot of pot to run the 11:00pm chop shop. :)
'Plodge Dury' sounds like a 60's porn star
These guys rock.
Legal Pot no less!
How about calling it a Plodge Fart?
lmao that made my week !
Tom has a cool John Deere.... I'm glad he's there to help you out... great friends 😁
So happy to see you guy's into the 60 Fury ! Grafting it to the solid Dodge is brilliant , and I look forward to watching the progress unfold. Keep on keep'n on.
Ambitous project! Hopin' everything lines up! . . .
Agree, very ambitious. I would never attempt something like this because there is no way I could pull it off.
You’re humming is exactly what I do when I’m in the workshop working on something cool/dangerous/stupid/ combination of all three.
Nice-looking Plymouth Fury thank you for the video
I've been waiting for this to happen. So neat to watch it unfold and i can't wait to see it on the road!! Exellent content Scott. There's nothing like this on TH-cam. Keep up the really great videos!!
Well, I never saw this one. Super glad it popped up!!!
11:36 Not only a great tin wizard, knowing his bondo, LHM and chrome siding well, but fluently speaking sawsall, too!
Tonight, I watched the video of you taking the Fury's previous owners out for a rip in the finished (almost) Fury. I remember when you put this video out. It feels like a lifetime ago...
Pss, customer just called and he changed his mind, "just a regular paint job instead "
Nice conversion job, can't wait until the next episode how it will look.
Splice-A-Thon!! Warm up those welders!! Adventures in metal working! Awesome! Sounds like a really good runner...
This is f****** brilliant - I am impressed, loved it. Like I wrote last time; you guys make some of the best television I ever saw. Hellos from Denmark
LOVE YOUR CREATIVITY GUYS
Amazing!!! Glad to see this move forward. 60 Fury is bad ass!
Love this shit!! You guys are able to recognize the same body lines between nameplates. All the underpinnings are the same. You are thinking like engineers giving you confidence and nohow to make this happen.💪
I always wanted to learn how to do this stuff. I never knew it could be done like this. So cool, thanks for the posting. Great stuff!
all the pieces🎶bits and pieces🎵👍😁
Hurry,.. Post the next video! I am all a buzz with excitement! Love this carnage. Brings back memories of my hot rod shop I had several years ago.
Pure GENIUS, not sure how long you thought about this morphing but just LOVE the idea. Will wait with severe anxiety to see this through. Oh yeah, already at that state on all your projects especially the $5 custom rod and Citroen SM daily driver. Just gotta say it---You are the GURU MAN
Very kind of you to say; I did a similar job to this on my brother's 69 Fairlane... there's a video of it on my channel somewhere. More on the roadster and SM soon, too!
Terrific video, this should go viral
I love the thumbnail!! "Simple Rust Repair" with a picture of a car being cut in half lengthwise!!
11:35 This is exactly why I love watching your channel so much. You said it all!
Incredible !
Too addicting !
Wow, what a tremendous project! Can’t wait for the next part!
Wow when you guys get an idea it certainly is a bit different. That said can't wait to see what happens next. Interesting to see how the primer failed to get that far inside the wheel arches.
That is an awesome project and you all are fearless builders, I love it!!
Understatement of the decade: Tom: 19:10 "That's an ugly f-ing car thats fer sure". hahaha... I probably like a lot of guys cringed as the initial cuts were made, but i tell ya Scotts engineering foresight and ability impresses the hell out of me with each new video. Wish i were in Canadia...i'd have Scott fix up the body on my van in a heartbeat.
Wow. This is gonna be good. Exciting to watch this just as with all your other projects. Thumbs up always
Nice tractor, Tom !
Scott I don’t know if you will see this Comment I watched your new video tonight finishing the theory driving it and I said I got to go back and watch where it started from what a task outrageous congratulations
Thanks for checking it out John! Good times for sure, but I'm glad it is finished! Cheers...
This will be a lot of work, but defenitly worth the effort. You are the sheet metal specialist, so i like to follow this project until it is completely finished 👍
This is the best thing since the Bondo Dodge truck door!
Great work, it all came apart nicely and it looks like what you've got left to work with is all in very decent shape. The reveal of the wheel houses with the primer dip line certainly give a good ideal why these were so legendarily rust-prone...
Great video !!! This is the Fury I was talking about . It’s going to look amazing when complete !!! I looked up the 60 Fury , seems it had the , 225ci , 318ci , 361ci , 383ci & the rare 413ci !!!
Have lots of fun !!
Very brave project Scott. Loving watching you guys as always. You are living the dream there bud.
Love these guys and the work they do
Thanks guys,I like it so far,made my day, so glad to see you guys working on the fury.
"That's an ugly fuckin car" LOL Tom is a trip.
Always enjoy what you do great job
So much for the daily driver part lol.
Love seeing you getting that Fury project going!
Frankinfury. I love it. Man would it be fun to hang out with you guys. Never a dull moment.
Awesome project!!! . . . . . Rog
I love the intro!
You are going boldly where no man has gone before.
great rebuild .and a cool old fury .great job.
Hi Scot and co-agents,
I´m really looking forward to the next part of this body-swap. I like that your videos are very realistic compared to other u-tube-car-channels where impossible deadlines are always no problem. You show that it´s a lot more work in reality. Even if you dont spray glitter glossy paint al over it.
I´m living in Germany and my daily driver is a Citroen 2CV (unfortunately with a slow stock engine). But with cats fitted to get permission to drive it everywhere in Germany with a green windshield-sticker in Umweltzone 4 (enviroment zone 4).

Can’t wait for the next video!
AWESOME! Can't wait for the next Vid! Now I wanna head to the garage and work on my 61 Chrysler....
You guys are insane and I love it.
This is so completely awesome.
Love Tom’s new tractor! 😋😋😋
It's pretty sweet hey? It has more options than any of my cars...
Sell the junk bits to dean so he can tape them to a LTD
Responded when new, too lazy so I'm gonna add to...... This is the vid & the latest are unbelievable.
Still amazing. 👍👍
Best channel on youtube ever, keep it up Scott
Jesus and Mary! I gotta pop a nitro tablet just to watch you guys...
Those Furys were beauties, good to see you're giving it a second life!
I pray this comes out right! what a job... Keep the Fury videos coming!!!!! Thanks!
Be with us next time for MORE power cord drama, set to Creedence’s “The Old Man Down the Road”!
Those Furies were so gracefully executed, if you don’t count the ends. Nobody had quite the feel for guitar pick design that Mopar did under Exner. Part of what makes them so cool now was exasperating in the day, even to 10-yr-old me. The cowlick fins and front wheel arches looked like add-ons from an AMT model kit.
Anyway, happy accident when you go deep into the night; the grinder spark showers are awesome (see: Fiesta scene in “ A Touch of Evil”), and add a lot to the drama. Will a festering spark visible only to viewers cause a plot changing wildfire? You guys are so intent on your work, you would never see the zombies come out of the fields in time (Key: Frankers, saving the day).
From Gearhead Bachelors everywhere, thanks for this, Scott. Edit it into a single piece, afterward, and you’ve got an Oscar-nominated short subject!
my first car I bought to drive to work out of high school was a 1960 DODGE MATADOR 2dr ht....ended up with a 413 golden lion in it after the 361 died........loved that car...
I have never really commented on this project as I just started watching your channel a few months ago, and I saw the finished Fury and it looks perfect and that's incredible. But after seeing how it all began, and also admitting I HATE the looks of the old winged Fury's, but Love the early Dodge Darts (and similar Polara)- even if a 4-door sedan, and seeing how minty this dodge was, it breaks my heart to see you destroy it....*sighs...but no need to comment a reply, as I did READ your opening(lengthy) statement....and they were your cars, and it looks like new now, but it's still a damn Ugly Finned Fury -lol.
