- Earlier this fall I bought a 1928 Pontiac sedan. Not sure why but I did I originally had the intent to make it drive but decided to so the lawn art route, as this is a large project for someone. That said I did want to put it together so someone can see the potential of that the car can be.
00:00 What I bought.
06:09 Figuring out the jigsaw puzzle of a 28 Pontiac.
09:25 Assembling the 28 Pontiac sedan
17:19 Putting the body on the chassis
25:15 Building windshield post from scratch.
37:29 Banging out the fender dents
42:03 Walk around of the car. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
And voila...it looks more like it does now than it did before. She's a roller. Rock on.
Who doesn't love the perfect lawn ornament?
Great assembly job.
For just a weekend of messin around you sure made a sweet deal of that one, great job
Starting with nothing and being more talented than most , Brent you made a nice looking old Pontiac that anyone would be proud to have in their backyard with a made up history that your Great Aunt had bought new and was going to restore someday. ..Great video Enjoy watching
Had to wait until I got off work to watch. Once again Brent. I'm amazed at what you get done in short order. Only one word to describe what you are able to do. WOW. thanks again man
It's amazing how you can take a rusty pile and turn it in car...
Mad respect for your skill set..keep the video's coming..
Shout out from Southern California
Thanks 👍
If i lived closer id buy it off you....i love that era of cars
Nice work. #STAYSAFE #KEEPBUILDING
You took a mess and made a car... great job 👍👍🇨🇱
love to see this old iron saved.nice job.thanks for another great video.
Brent: buys car that fits in truck bed makes a classic car.
Me: buys the same and always ends up with “rusty lawn art”😆
Well mine is still rusty yard art too haha
@@HalfassKustoms Id buy that crusader from ya
Cleveland Maker it’s been for sale on Kijiji
I like it, a ton of work and I live in Las Vegas. If we could ‘teleport’ I’d make a delivery out of it. Definitely 1 of kind
That car needs to be built a slammed full fender car would be so cool
Yes you are the man who does good work and then 👍👌 some keep the good work up you can do it 💪👍
Very cool 😃 video and thanks again
Thanks for sharing That was a blast Its Alive again
Good save Brent ! Amazing difference from what you started with !
Interesting project, looks like a gangster car from the movies
Brent u find the coolest stuff! Love your channel!
You could always offer the use of your garage to people wanting to buy it yet don't have the tools and space to work on it. A small monthly fee for storage and make an agreement on the shop time. Heck, if I were close by wouldn't mind hanging out with you while restoring my old jalopy. Thanks again for another longer video.
Oh, I'm sure you'll get this back together. WOW! Cars from that era were so narrow..I know, people were smaller then too..OK, it's pieced together. Now I understand why the frame seemed so long. A straight 6 would be right at home in that engine bay..
Pontiacs from that era came with six cylinder engines, watching this I remember my dad telling about he and several classmates for whatever reason took a '28 Chevy (that came with a four cylinder engine) and replacing the body with one from a '26 Pontiac, I never bothered to ask why they did that though.
Way to go Mr. Wizard !!! 👍👍
This is a great build and really enjoying the creation of a cool car from a pile of old parts and a world of imagination.. brilliant
That's going to be a sweet project love your channel I'm sure you'll find everything for it
Yes very cool thanks for want u do . My favorite car guy . Old cars rule ..
IF anybody can do this , ITS YOU N I have seen the vehicles you have Made out of nothing n you work Magic n bring them back to Life n that's Great n Amazing
I love the dirt for a sandbag.
Genius
I liked watching you make that roof support. Great job. Hope you tackle it again.
Amazing stuff. Great video!
That is some pretty cool yard art Brent! You slapped her together like nobody's business! Thanks for sharing and always looking forward to your episodes!
You are artist!👍👍
Well, that 43:29 flew by ! Great build. Yard art works for me. Looks good with the other pieces around the pond. 👍😎🍺
Full fendered is the way to go, LOOKS GREAT!!!
Custom by crunch body work ha ha. Looking good hard to believe that was in the back of your pickup.
Will make a good rod , Keep the vids coming , you amaze me with your build skills
It remember me when as a kid they gave me model cars in assembly boxes😀😎 good job bro'
It looks great and if I were about 40 years younger I'd jump on it in e heartbeat and make a roller.
Brent, You an't put a Chevy 6 in this car ! If ever a car called out for a period hot rod engine its this one. In 1953 this car would have been considered outdated and in need of some serious upgrade. V-8's were just starting to come into their own and flat heads were at their peaks. Flat head V-8s were souped up but non-souped up overhead valve V-8's were already fast from the factory (but expensive) so Hot Rodders were looking around for cheap alternatives. The answer would have been a Flat head Straight 8 from a Chieftan. Find a Pontiac straight 8 that you can shoe-horn into this buggy and you'll have a Pontiac Rat Rod that could have been souped up by some post War kid who would have been about Elvis Presley's age!
Looks good for a few hours work, well done. Fun to watch.
I can't wait till winter then the big truck is gonna be built
It was fun watching you bring the fender back.
Looks like a great project too !! Really enjoying your videos sir, a mix of everything lol. Keep up the great work sir
It looks like something ... something pretty cool
You're an artist. NICE !
Fabulous documentary
Wow your amazing.
Its a car again and now a nice project.
So cool.
yes another resurrection, thank you old car wizzard 😎
Make a pickup out of it !
Or tub......
First time commenting, I really enjoy watching you,and the music is awesome! Keep up the great work and I'll keep watching and learning.
Looks awesome, still needs more.
This is what I’m looking for
Thanks for saving thee ol’ tin Indian. Really digging the content. 👍
Hey Brent, I'm not much of a sedan person, but it's great that you are saving it & moving it onto someone else..to bad you didn't have a flathead Pontiac motor, kinda hard to believe you don't have one or know where one is...anyway, I am looking for a set of Model AA truck or? Cab lights, there usually was three lights..I can't believe how that fender turned out from banging it out in the driveway....thanks for the awesome video!!
This is so cool.. we seen a bunch of parts and you seen a car!...now we see it
You did great on the 28 Pontiac, I could tell you enjoyed it
+ 1 for derermination.
And for having vision.
Really like thd box brake.
Scoring or slotting the sheet metal for bending is helpful if you plan to weld it anyway.
Had some checker plate i wanted to bend, so i left a few joining tabs and scored them. Bent my 90’s and welded it up.
I couldnt have been happier with the end result.
The post did turn out pretty good.
Your videos are very entertaining... good work.
U are the guy . To watch ...
I've figured it out. This channel is really a stealth advertising campaign for Coors Light. That explains the high production value. I love every episode/ad. Great work and you make it look fun.
Very cool car and very rare! one of the first pontiac models made. Know the wood well, have a 30 pontiac 3 window coupe myself. Love the builds keep the projects coming 👍
absolutely love the car and what you have done with it so far. and engine, a straight six would be good
Impressive Brent awesome work
I like how do you build the windshield and fix the bender. That Pontiac have a huge potential to go back to the road. Your vision beyond that pile of scrap metal, brings a good reward at the end
Ok, now im impressed! Love the planishing hammer. My fargo needs that for an hour. I made a hand held e-wheel , but fargo fenders won. Heavy metal.
Looks great.
If you swap the front axle for a 1955-59 Chevy truck with a lot of drop, and put the spring on the outside of the frame.
Then the spring perches fit again.
Or a 1948-55 truck axle, if you will keep springs in original place.
You Can run a 90s nissan pathfinder and put it above the rear spring. Or a 1950-59 truck rear end (6bolt is same pattern as Chevy of the era), and then the after marked is open to you!
A 216” front motor mount fits under the timing chain cover, of most Chevy straight six. And puts it firmly in the front cross member.
And with a stovebolt six swapped in, a lot of gearboxes will fit behind it. And the aftermarket backing for them trucks are fantastic!
You can make a six sing, and freight train a lot of cars, with more carbs, fentons, cams and headwork!
Sweet cars!
Even if you plan not to do it, this might encourage someone to buy it!
Awesome channel! You are really good!
Haha good reason to drink beer good board for templates 💯
it's a `28 Pontiac Two Sedan, former eight-cylinder US prohibition bootleggers car that carried Segrams whiskey 50 gallons at a time.
I'm like #875 that's my enishels in numbers. But yeah that's so cool that you put it together to show what it could be again. Please keep at it.
What would you charge a man for that Pontiac? That’s a pretty damn sweet job ! Thanks for all the entertainment!
Brilliant 🤗
nice work man, id rock that as yardart for sure
Another classic from La Maison de Halfass. And all in a days work...
All perched and pretty lol..right on 😉🙂
Coors should have you in a commercial. Our beer not only tastes good, you can use the box as your template!
The maritime style music was cool too!
I love your working music.
Your skills amaze me every time I watch. Take a pile of nothing and build a cool car out of it. I love the content man keep it up
Dude... Just the little bit of time you put into this Machine... Now like you mentioned... It now reassembles a car. Pretty Cool
Definitely a good Save Brent
If you took this pile to a shop. In six months and 100 grand later. They would be where you are after a weekend.
Id love to pick that up and build something out of it
looks cool to me
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder or so they say. I didn't see that much in the back of a smaller truck ( a 1500 maybe?) and out is a rather large car of its time. You have it this far, now its if your bored the you go out to your local junk collection point and there sets a junky you have or got for a piece of stainless as they should call it gold. You just cut a floor pan out of another car with some of the wrinkles that you need to make a fake floor out of it for a real good target ........... So nice, way to go and I know its not right to stick my nose in... just ideas floating in my jello box
Just a little more and be ready for paint
When I built my 69 AMC Rambler Gasser I used a 89 Cherokee 2WD tube axle front end, it already had all the disk brakes and steering, I used a 69 postal Jeep front springs and mounts, drop pitman arm, power steering from the rambler, everything worked perfect together
You’re the first person I’ve seen do body work with a boot!
sedan makes the best rat rod . just love sedans
nice Mr Clumsy, I also have a 28 Ponty roadster.
That would look sick as a custom
That`s Cool
Itd be cool if you bring this back in shop for a weekend , build door frames so doors could open. And body mounted
Looks great, funny how a couple days can turn a pile of scrap metal into something that looks like a buildable car.
I love fendered cars. To me they look way cooler sir. All the best from UK
That air tool you used on the fender works awesome!! I know you got it only tacked together but the body lines didn’t line that good when it was new😀
haha and those door gaps eh!
I've seen people use a minivan roof for those cars
Heya man, the one lad from Penny's Hotrod on TH-cam here... he's a Pontiac freak and is also in Manitoba [cool channel if you don't already know them or not]. If you're looking to sell this, talk to him as he's very handy with the resurrection of the elder automotive Gems. He and a few of the other lads are working on a couple of Model A's right now [one's getting a Hemi like the one you featured recently] and the other is getting a small block Ford [302 maybe?]. Anyway... if you don't already know them I bet at least the one guy would LOVE this old Poncho to build up and Rod out. He's got a bunch of pontiacs from the 50's and 60's in a field that are fantastic as he loves the old Laurentians, Strato Chiefs and Canadian takes on those models and such. Love all the stuff you do. So cool to watch you move through the creative work on these cars. Fantastic! Oh ya... this is the same car my Dad bought the year I was born 61 [bought it used and put a new motor in it]. Some of my earliest and most favourite car memories were in this car :-) th-cam.com/video/wpXxo8Pa55g/w-d-xo.html
Kick ass brother
As tall as it sits would make a nice 4 wheel drive.
Yeah it looks good you never know what will happen to it👍😀
I got to say she turned out pretty good a few more bits LS package then let's take her for a ride
Hsy bro it cool put the motrr in it
Would make a awesome little truck 😉
