Hi guys! Thanks for tuning in... This week we are back on the 1967 Datsun 411 to finish the welding and hammering so we can get onto the sanding! Also: Myles updates us on the 1966 383 project!

You guys are just so awesome! 43yr wrencher recovering from major surgery, you don't know how you have aided in my recovery. I love you guys and the channel, I really appreciate all your efforts more than you know!! 63 cincinnati here.
If it screws up the chip in my credit card it also has the added bonus of preventing me from buying car related stuff. Greetings from 64°N where there’s always ice to scrape.
There is something about having a handful of good friends you can count on. No need to know everyone around, that close group is priceless when it counts.
some times we get lucky. in 1960 I was fixing up my 48 chevy and the dealer near by was flushing out the old parts in inventory older than 1950. i got all new floor pad/rubbers and all 4 new stock fenders for 20 bucks. saved a lot of time and trouble.
Another heroic effort by CWM’s Agents on the resurrection of Ash’s 411 which commanded more pounding and sanding than any which preceded it. I think Scott’s message at the beginning set the tone for these toils where he stated he’d be “rather working on his cars” than wasting away in some exotic resort destination. Bravo Sir, I’m with you!
I watch kindig customs where they have an army of body guys and every power tool in existence.Then I see Scot do the same quality of work with a few hammers a log and a shrinker stretcher and a few friends over a couple of beers. Thanks for sharing whats possible with a few tools and good friends.
My friend rebuilt a scrapyard 383 for a 65 Belevedere in the early 90s. He said if he had known how good of shape it was in, he would have never touched it. The bearings looked perfect like these ones here, of course without any babbit flaking. No cylinder ridge, etc
Don't scratch my Dodge! I have enough projects! It's Saturday with CWM! Thank you, Scott, Franker's, Dean, and agents for making another year's worth of shows and patrons and viewers for supporting them. Have a Happy New Year everybody! Going to the dead flower garden and the test porch.
Jeeze... I'm tired out just watching all the work that was done. ;) Great progress, folks. Happy New Year Frankers, Bunny, Scott and all the folks involved in any way. Thanks for all the years of edutainment. Cheers!
Good combination of projects, and great combination of people! I love the 411. It was my first car. Been looking for another one for years. …and btw, good transmission girls are so hard to find. Happy New Year!
Myles is doing a great job on the Monaco 383 👍 The Datsun is looking great after all that work, Tom’s a tough Foreman , where’s the driveshaft?! 😂😂 Dean did an incredible job scraping that glue off 🥇Have a wonderful New Year 🎉.
I'd take odds that Myles' stock cam in his 383 rebuild is never going to make it into the engine bay. His winter beater CAN'T sound better than the '66 - !! N'est ce-pas, gars? The overriding lesson this episode teaches is that the car hobby requires a kind of patience and attention to granular detail beyond what most folks are ready to commit to! Dean painstakingly razor-blading the upholstery glue off the interior rear wheel well, taking the factory primer off those pristine fenders, hammering out TWICE the lower rear outer skin. It's not for the faint of heart. Lots of us armchair enthusiasts would get sorted real quick if we had to pay this much attention to detail! Go Coldwarmotors!!
Having good friends is something that has made the channel outstand from many others. Happy for Myles he is getting the 383 cid engine fixed the right way. Happy New Year to Scott, Bunny, Frankers, Dean, Myles and the rest of the crew.
LOL!!! Dean Dean - the glue-strippin' machine!!! Great job, Myles - that engine should run perfectly for another 50 years! Ash - you are correct - Stephen IS hot! LOL!!
Busy as hell! But that's how it gets done. Such a master at dent removal. Nice to see Stephen for 5 minutes. Myles engine work is top shelf. Can't wait to see more!
Oh hell yeah, fire and hammers, the show just got real. Love watching Scott hammer on the roof while Stephen is welding on the inside of the car. That's like soldiers crawling under live machine gun fire.
Hey thanks so much Dennis! That is so kind of you... Very much appreciated, and I will use it towards brake parts for the 1959 Buick restoration... All the very best in 2025 from me and Bunny and Frankers!
Scott thank you ,Bunny, supervisor Tom, and all the agents, oops I almost forgot Francine for a terrific year(2024),I'm sure next year will be even better!.
"Bonne année" to you and the different agent and not forget Honey Bunny, from your old (76) retired french speaking Quebecois follower. Love your channel!
Hey, what days is it, Red War Motors. I'll need to go to work. And I'm not going to know what day it is without my $50 Red War Motors calendar. Ship out or ship out, Red War Motors! 🇺🇸
Scott, Bunny and the agents, most people worry about how to finance their next ride but at Cold War Motors the crew finesses their next ride with gob smacking excellent metalwork, good cheer, inappropriate chuckles and prodigious teamwork! Mega Cheers to you lot!
I agree with you Scott when you and Dean talked about vacation in the intro. If I can't work on any of my cars or do car-related work during holiday/vacation season, for me that's just torture. Travelling around the world? Not my cup of tea. Heck, I use vacation just to make progress on the '66 Electra. Even small progress is huge step. Thanks for contents and being an inspiration for me on working with cars 🙂Happy new year to Scott, Frankers, Bunny and all the Agents. 🎆🎉
Great episode to end the year! As a Chevy guy though, I'm glad Myles explained the timing marks on his 383 build- I was ready to panic and say 'you're 180° off!!' 😂
Happy new year Scott, Bunny, Frankers and crew! Thank you for another fun filled year! My favorite show growing up was Mission Impossible. It was full of CIA BS. This show is the real deal! I only watch like four weekly shows on YT. This is my favorite! Everyone take care. 2025 we hope will for many begin to shed light where too much darkness has been! Cheers!
Brings back memories, got my licence on one of those in 1967, Datsun Bluebird Standard,no stainless on windows and dog dish caps, powder blue and three on the tree, thank god I passed first time.
Everything is looking good. Soon there will be a running 383 and a shiny car. Leave it to Tom to come up with the vinyl roof idea😂. Have a happy, safe new year. 🎉
Couple old-methods. Soak the cork gaskets in warm water. Take any sheet metal pan or sump and use a small and large ball peen hammer, the small ball on the outside to flatten the holes. We used to do this with the old BW 35 transmissions to prevent leaks.
More like for the 383 Mopar. Nice work on the Datson Scott. Again and again we see the minutiae detail and grinding out of final preparation for final painting - and then there's still so much work to complete. Is it any wonder why so many projects become abandoned for ages? Keep up the good work folks. Looking forward to the Edsel transmission project.
Scott, thanks so much for the Joy! Myles, great details on your rebuild! Your knowledge of what you do on engines is just enthralling!! Ash and his Datsun rebuild is a treat to watch. So many good Buds that Help out. Hope Frankers is ok, did not see her this video.. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!!! Cheers, Rich
Just enough entertainment to keep me interested, and just enough hammering to keep me awake... :D Thanks for all the hard work and Happy New Years to you and the gang... (can't wait for more "late model" Buick action)
Thanks Scott, Bunny Frankers and agents for another year of enjoyment. Makes me feel like I'm hanging out with the guys, and gal! Myles cam install is fine. Dot at the top on cam gear is TDC on the compression stroke. At bottom is the exhaust stroke. Cheers all and have a Happy New Year.
Another action packed weekend edition Scott. Nice to see the effort of all the agents on Ashley's Datsun. There are lots of projects on Your agenda to look forward to. Best Wishes to everyone at Cold War Motors, their Families and Friends. #LaurasRover #Edsel
Good Saturday evening Gentlemen Ash's Datun is coming out MINT !! Roof is better than new New OEM NOS fenders ??!! 🤯 It's morbidly fascinating Seeing how few panels were actually utilized in the manufacturing of these cars . Puke level 400..... LOL 😆 Myles 66 Monaco 383 is coming back too life . Love the time lapse effects . It's really shows how much tedious measurements have to be performed before , slapping it back together . Right stuff sealant ? Absolutely love your Volvo S90 ❤ You've got too start Hording more of them Tom needs , a Volvo 240 , 740 , 940 wagon , with corresponding trailer hitch . Love seeing your , Cresent wrench comradeskis , pulling together on Ash's Datun Look at Steven go !! Well done 👏 !! #HappyNewYearCWM 🍾🙏
When I had a 1959 Ford Galaxie, I managed to find (somewhere) TWO NOS 1959 Ford front fenders in the original cardboard boxes. However, when the body shop was fitting them, they discovered a bit of rust on the top front. Presumably, the boxes got wet at some point. It wasn't major and they were fixed easily. Unfortunately I was forced to drive it one winter when my 1965 Falcon was hors de combat for a bit and I ran into the back end of a 1967 Ford Ranchero when I hit some unexpected ice pulling into a parking lot. I That was a sad day. Virtually new front fender, now with a nice V-shaped bend in the eyebrow on the driver's side.🤬😠
My 8th grade art teacher owned a Datsun similar to that but I believe it was a 510 series,love the '66 Monaco, my only encounter with a 383 was in a '70 Monaco four door hardtop but it was a good car though, Happy New Year to you, Bunny,Frankers and all the Agents,as your fellow handyman says "Keep Your Stick on the Ice" Cheers!!!
Love all what you guys do, it´s so fun seeing people coming together for a project! I get the feeling we are slowly moving back towards industrial or medieval times: manpower is premium!
As much work as is being done on the Datsun, It is still pretty darn good for its age. We had a '72 Toyota Carona sedan that dad bought in '76 that belonged to the Toyota dealer owner (dad did their accounting). The whole rocker was gone on both sides as well as the front fender front corners at only five years old. The dash cracked. We sold it in 1980 for $300.
Looking forward to seeing the Datsun in paint. A thumbs up for Myles and the 383 build! Lots of interesting project stuff to look forward to. Happy new year to you all, thanks again.
I'm am always fascinated by everyone at COLD WAR MOTORS,,that every one lives in the middle of no where ,and you come across the most obscured parts/cars!! And also everyone live in the middle of nowhere,and has money to burn... Sometimes I have half the mind to think this channel is a hoax,but then I remember that they are all pot heads like me and all that sounds like too much work .. Lol Been with you since the beginning. Killer Channel 🤘
Cheers from Illinois to everyone there and a very Happy and Prosperous 2025 ! Really enjoy all of your videos and i almost feel like i am there with you. It really feels that warm and friendly. Thank you so much.
Can't wait to see the Datsun painted to look like Barbie's, with the pink and powder blue with a red and white striped interior. Mile's 383 will make nice sounds. Great work Everyone! Happy Freaking New Year to All. Cheers!
ha ha I'm the same when it comes to time away from from metalbabies. Christmas day saw me offering to cure a running fault on a nieces Toyota which looked to be more interesting than watching them get pickled. ..😁😁
ts amazing that any of those old Datsuns exist at all outside of dry climates. Back when they were new they were only expected to be on the road a maximum of five years so the Japanese auto companies used steel that was not rust resistant at all, even worse than American cars at the time. Living in the rust belt at the time I looked at buying a two year old 1972 240Z and it already had rust bubbling thru on the front fenders. I ended up ordering a new Camaro instead and had it Rusty Jones treated at the dealer. Six years later the Camaro still had zero rust thru when I sold it and it was a daily driver in the midwest winters on salted roads.
Funny story - my mother bought a brand new off the showroom floor 1976 Datsun B210! Six yrs later I was replacing the front brakes, when I looked under the fenders I found the fenders to be made from a sheet of beer can tin -specifically (Miller Beer)! perfectly preserved Miller Beer labels painted across the entire sheet! In Green with White emblem and Gold print! 😂 👍
-- I wonder how Datsun pulled that off being that car was most likely made in Japan? I also wonder how that car got by all the Japanese inspectors before it was shipped out? 🤔 - Max Giganteum
I’m pretty sure in 1976 Miller was using aluminum for their cans…..I’ve heard of toys being made from recycled metal like that but by 1976 datsun was a fairly reputable company and I don’t believe they were using beer can metal which would’ve been quite a bit thinner than the metal they were using for their fenders. But I believe stranger things have happened.
@idlabi yes you are correct - however the steel used during the tin can era was recycled and shipped to Japan after the Viet Nam conflict where they used it to make body parts for the automotive industry! Somewhere I have a Polaroid picture of the inside of the fender! The 70's is when Tin was phased out and aluminum cans became the new standard! I have a collection of tin beer cans that includes the Miller can that the inner fender had stamped on it!
Hi guys! Thanks for tuning in... This week we are back on the 1967 Datsun 411 to finish the welding and hammering so we can get onto the sanding! Also: Myles updates us on the 1966 383 project!

Woo-hoo! Sanding next. Love bodywork. Lol!
* Scott, funny note, the algorithm has your site listed under many things but I thought "REDNECK" was hilarious ! 👊🤣👍
You'd be bored in Hawaii till someone showed you a vintage boat with a Packard engine
Or twin Hudsons... or a Pierce Arrow engine.....
If you can't find happiness out your own back door you won't find it anywhere. Well, that's what I think. Anyway, Happy New Year.
You guys are just so awesome! 43yr wrencher recovering from major surgery, you don't know how you have aided in my recovery. I love you guys and the channel, I really appreciate all your efforts more than you know!! 63 cincinnati here.
Seeing Myles scrap his window with a credit card made me realize I'm not the only one to do it.
Back in the day I used cassette tape case doors.
If it screws up the chip in my credit card it also has the added bonus of preventing me from buying car related stuff. Greetings from 64°N where there’s always ice to scrape.
Dean on a tropical vacation? Enough sun tan lotion and he truly would be a Greasy Flip?😆
It's Saturday let the show begin!
There is something about having a handful of good friends you can count on. No need to know everyone around, that close group is priceless when it counts.
Dean is a beast when it comes to shit work. The man doesn't give up until things are properly cleaned.
some times we get lucky. in 1960 I was fixing up my 48 chevy and the dealer near by was flushing out the old parts in inventory older than 1950. i got all new floor pad/rubbers and all 4 new stock fenders for 20 bucks. saved a lot of time and trouble.
Looking forward to seeing more on the SM all excellent viewing, as always👍

Ah, more on turning the Rotsun back into a Datsun !!! Frankers looking good. Cheers everyone and Happy New Year. 👊😎👍
I watch kindig customs where they have an army of body guys and every power tool in existence.Then I see Scot do the same quality of work with a few hammers a log and a shrinker stretcher and a few friends over a couple of beers. Thanks for sharing whats possible with a few tools and good friends.
One is skill; one is about tool company sponsorship.
Hi! Saturday and CWM...
No vacations for me either, l'm here watching.
My friend rebuilt a scrapyard 383 for a 65 Belevedere in the early 90s. He said if he had known how good of shape it was in, he would have never touched it. The bearings looked perfect like these ones here, of course without any babbit flaking. No cylinder ridge, etc
Don't scratch my Dodge! I have enough projects! It's Saturday with CWM!
Thank you, Scott, Franker's, Dean, and agents for making another year's worth of shows and patrons and viewers for supporting them.
Have a Happy New Year everybody! Going to the dead flower garden and the test porch.
With all my Saturdays burned watching this channel... I could've built 3 Fury's 😁 ! Cheers fellas and Happy New Year !!!
“It’s not hard until you try to put it in” 😂😂😂
I like the shade of blue on the Volvo.
Happy new year to you and frankers.
Jeeze... I'm tired out just watching all the work that was done. ;)
Great progress, folks.
Happy New Year Frankers, Bunny, Scott and all the folks involved in any way.
Thanks for all the years of edutainment. Cheers!

Exactly that's why I watch!
That Datsun body work was some entertaining business.
LOL!!! Dean Dean - the glue-strippin' machine!!! Great job, Myles - that engine should run perfectly for another 50 years! Ash - you are correct - Stephen IS hot! LOL!!
Hes right,that does sound gay lmao
The Datsun is coming along nicely....Far away inside bondo beach... Miles' 383 refresh was getting done👍🏻Happy New Year Agents🍻🚬
Busy as hell! But that's how it gets done. Such a master at dent removal. Nice to see Stephen for 5 minutes. Myles engine work is top shelf. Can't wait to see more!
A BIG thank you to Myles for being SO meticulous with his engine builds! It is Definitely is worth it!
Oh hell yeah, fire and hammers, the show just got real.
Love watching Scott hammer on the roof while Stephen is welding on the inside of the car. That's like soldiers crawling under live machine gun fire.
Very thorough job on the Datsun guys and gal😊 . Probably didn't look that good new ! Nice job on the 383 Myles !
Here we go!
Can't wait to see you get back to the impala.
CWM =Genius
Bedankt, buddy.
Hey thanks so much Dennis! That is so kind of you... Very much appreciated, and I will use it towards brake parts for the 1959 Buick restoration... All the very best in 2025 from me and Bunny and Frankers!

You guys are a riot! My Saturdays could not be complete without you! Happy 2025!
I bet you would never be bored in CUBA !
Happy New Year to my 3 favorite Canadians, and all their friends 😀
I agree with you Scott when you and Dean talked about vacation in the intro. If I can't work on any of my cars or do car-related work during holiday/vacation season, for me that's just torture. Travelling around the world? Not my cup of tea.
Heck, I use vacation just to make progress on the '66 Electra. Even small progress is huge step.

'Get up, work on my cars, and go back to bed'. Nirvana. But I'll stop to eat and watch Scott's antics. nz.
Happy new year Scott, Bunny, Frankers and crew! Thank you for another fun filled year! My favorite show growing up was Mission Impossible. It was full of CIA BS. This show is the real deal! I only watch like four weekly shows on YT. This is my favorite! Everyone take care. 2025 we hope will for many begin to shed light where too much darkness has been! Cheers!
Good to see the wrecking crew coming together for the Datsun ..
Brings back memories, got my licence on one of those in 1967, Datsun Bluebird Standard,no stainless on windows and dog dish caps, powder blue and three on the tree, thank god I passed first time.
The Datsun is cool. Back in high school my friend and I would borrow a red Fairlady convertible. A lot of fun.
Everything is looking good. Soon there will be a running 383 and a shiny car. Leave it to Tom to come up with the vinyl roof idea😂. Have a happy, safe new year. 🎉
Spaghetti Western Guitar Music for
"BONDO MUSIC" You guys got this.
Great episode. Cheers 🇨🇦
All that beautiful porting work done ...an no camshaft to match ...😢I feel your pain myles
Couple old-methods. Soak the cork gaskets in warm water. Take any sheet metal pan or sump and use a small and large ball peen hammer, the small ball on the outside to flatten the holes.
We used to do this with the old BW 35 transmissions to prevent leaks.
More like for the 383 Mopar. Nice work on the Datson Scott. Again and again we see the minutiae detail and grinding out of final preparation for final painting - and then there's still so much work to complete. Is it any wonder why so many projects become abandoned for ages? Keep up the good work folks. Looking forward to the Edsel transmission project.
The Datsun is coming along nicely. I'm guessing it will be a fun little machine once it gets back together. Have a good New Year everyone.
The Datsun scratch and dent crew! A lot of great work done by everyone. Happy New Year to the CWM's crew! Cheers!
Probably wouldn’t be bored in Cuba with all the old 50’s car with boat engines in them lol
Happy new years everyone! The Datsun is really flying along and look at Myles go on the 383!
HAPPY NEW YEAR, CANADA!
Another amazing show.
Another great show lotsa unique stuff going on! Wishing everyone at CWM a healthy and happy 2025!
Scott, thanks so much for the Joy! Myles, great details on your rebuild! Your knowledge of what you do on engines is just enthralling!! Ash and his Datsun rebuild is a treat to watch. So many good Buds that Help out. Hope Frankers is ok, did not see her this video.. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!!! Cheers, Rich
Just enough entertainment to keep me interested, and just enough hammering to keep me awake... :D Thanks for all the hard work and Happy New Years to you and the gang... (can't wait for more "late model" Buick action)
At our age Randahl an hour of "entertainment" of this caliber can tire us out for the rest of the day!😆
@@glennnickerson8438 😆
We should get Dean one of those laser gun stripper things for all the jobs he does. He would be the MVP! Happy New Year everyone and Hi Frankers!
Beers in the SNOW!
Now if that's not FIRST CLASS TV,then I must be smoking something...
Thanks Scott, Bunny Frankers and agents for another year of enjoyment. Makes me feel like I'm hanging out with the guys, and gal! Myles cam install is fine. Dot at the top on cam gear is TDC on the compression stroke. At bottom is the exhaust stroke. Cheers all and have a Happy New Year.
Ash’s Datsun is gonna look so good in paint. Thanks Myles for the 383 update. Happy new years Scott, Bunny, Frankers and agents. Cheers 🍻
Thanks for another great video,Lots of progress on the Datsun! Sounds like a full schedule for the New year. have a great week -see you on Thursday!
Another action packed weekend edition Scott. Nice to see the effort of all the agents on Ashley's Datsun.
There are lots of projects on Your agenda to look forward to.

Beautiful. I had a 1972 Datsun 510 I loved it! Spot it was gold with Grey & red primer spots!
Looking forward to seeing the Datsun in paint. A thumbs up for Myles and the 383 build! Lots of interesting project stuff to look forward to. Happy new year to you all, thanks again.
I'm am always fascinated by everyone at COLD WAR MOTORS,,that every one lives in the middle of no where ,and you come across the most obscured parts/cars!!
And also everyone live in the middle of nowhere,and has money to burn...

Happy New Year ! Looking forward to all the content coming with saving cars and the friendship of the agents.
Can't wait to see the Datsun painted to look like Barbie's, with the pink and powder blue with a red and white striped interior. Mile's 383 will make nice sounds. Great work Everyone! Happy Freaking New Year to All. Cheers!
Thanks for another great Saturday video can't wait to see that Datsun all done up you don't see to many of them
Dam those tin termites
I am loving the behind scenes action from Classic Darts!
Happy new year everyone!
ha ha I'm the same when it comes to time away from from metalbabies. Christmas day saw me offering to cure a running fault on a nieces Toyota which looked to be more interesting than watching them get pickled. ..😁😁
ts amazing that any of those old Datsuns exist at all outside of dry climates. Back when they were new they were only expected to be on the road a maximum of five years so the Japanese auto companies used steel that was not rust resistant at all, even worse than American cars at the time. Living in the rust belt at the time I looked at buying a two year old 1972 240Z and it already had rust bubbling thru on the front fenders. I ended up ordering a new Camaro instead and had it Rusty Jones treated at the dealer. Six years later the Camaro still had zero rust thru when I sold it and it was a daily driver in the midwest winters on salted roads.
Funny story - my mother bought a brand new off the showroom floor 1976 Datsun B210! Six yrs later I was replacing the front brakes, when I looked under the fenders I found the fenders to be made from a sheet of beer can tin -specifically (Miller Beer)! perfectly preserved Miller Beer labels painted across the entire sheet! In Green with White emblem and Gold print! 😂 👍
-- I wonder how Datsun pulled that off being that car was most likely made in Japan? I also wonder how that car got by all the Japanese inspectors before it was shipped out? 🤔

I’m pretty sure in 1976 Miller was using aluminum for their cans…..I’ve heard of toys being made from recycled metal like that but by 1976 datsun was a fairly reputable company and I don’t believe they were using beer can metal which would’ve been quite a bit thinner than the metal they were using for their fenders. But I believe stranger things have happened.
@idlabi yes you are correct - however the steel used during the tin can era was recycled and shipped to Japan after the Viet Nam conflict where they used it to make body parts for the automotive industry! Somewhere I have a Polaroid picture of the inside of the fender! The 70's is when Tin was phased out and aluminum cans became the new standard! I have a collection of tin beer cans that includes the Miller can that the inner fender had stamped on it!

This comment is for those amazing NOS Datsun body panels. Wow!

Ash: NOS Datsun fenders--score! Guy who sold NOS fenders: That held on to fenders for decades and thought he would throw away--score!
