A GUIDE To Your First PROJECT CAR! Budget Build HOW-TO

Grab an old rusty car and start wrenching! that's the core message of our channel. Today's video is a beginners guide to fixing up old cars. How-To's like how to buy one? how to get parts? and how to get it done? I cover the five "P" of choosing your first project, how to save a lot of money on parts and my big secret to get it done (somewhat fast) but I can promise you'll make tons of memories and have a great time fixing up your old classic car! As usual, please remember I am an idiot with decades of epic failures, but failures teach us flexibility and how to keep cool when things fall apart... just keep wrenchin'!

Before anyone calls it out, I'm pretty sure that "1978" squarebody isn't a 78... I went back to marketplace and the seller changed it to "1979" which I believe is still incorrect. I'm going with 1980+ but I'm not a Chevy expert so don't get upset with me

What a nice informative and motivational video!

19:14 that's EXACTLY what I did. I don't know why i tore it apart. I should've just thrown a motor and interior in, fixed the gaping hole in the floor and got it drivable.

Try not to go inside, dont sit down, and NEVER take your boots off!!!!!

Back in the late 90s, when i was still living at home, I dragged a 63 Impala 2D HT out of the bush for $500. I tore it apart and gave up, partly cuz I wanted to get away from my verbally abusive Dad. I regret selling it, but whatever. Would like to have another one to work on with my kids, but I don't have the time or money. Guess I'll just keep dreaming.

I hear ya man! I wish I would have addressed the mental health aspect of project cars and what it means to some of us, maybe one day... Sorry to hear about the 63 Impala. Maybe a simpler cheaper project for you and the kids? I don't have much time either, maybe 4 hours per week and I'm not efficient with that time because I'm filming these videos but I gotta keep on wrenchin'. Thanks for dropping a comment so quick, I appreciate it
