I bought a car I couldn’t drive, it wouldn’t run until I fixed this car I couldn’t drive, now it bends to my will. I stalled her engine 7 times, yes this is true you see. Now I drive her smooth as silk, with gears marked one through three. Your gearbox comments, true enough, fall on my deaf ears For petty comments such as yours, don’t even grind my gears. Toodaloo😘✌️
My first car is a 1940 Plymouth 4 door sedan my father gave it to me for my 16th birthday, we were restoring it until he passed now it's me & my children restoring it in his honor your video gives me hope.
That laugh was the laugh of a young boy learning to drive stick for the first time. Brings back memories of my dad teaching me to drive stick, now i drive one everyday. It’s only been 5 years since I’ve learned and it gets easier every time you drive it
I would have waited to teach yoyr son to drive a stick until after the rebuilt engine had some break-in miles on it, and then only in a vacant parking-lot. Old Mayflowers dont get enough love. Kudos for all your work getting it back on the road !
Too bad Dad forgot to tell you to push in the clutch pedal when you come to a stop!! 😆 You are such a fast learner, you would have sailed around your hood with no problem!! Fabulous video! Can’t wait for the cat to have a floor and a muffler👍😘
Awesome, im glad to see you save it. She needs lots of love, but wil l be worth it. Glad to see your dad giving you some crap. Cant wait to see her done.
My favorite part of the entire series is that you didn't know how to drive stick the whole time. I love that, because it shows us that you don't need to have prior knowledge to be good at something like restoring a 70 year old engine. Idk if it's just me but that fact compounded with how amazing of a job you did on the restore is seriously inspirational. Thank you for sharing this with the world. 10/10 would watch you punch out freeze plugs again
You crack me up. In high school drivers ed, we had an old chevy three-speed stick, I believe I stalled that out about 30 times before we got 100 feet. You brought back fond memories.....Thanks
Thata is awesame. When you get to a stop sign, just pust the cluch! And you can stop nicely. Also when you try to leave just add a little more gas, slipp the cluch, slowely release it, but I think you got that part down. :)
Thanks for the assist. I'm Dave's Dad. I felt like I failed him, allowing him to get well into adulthood without learning to drive stick (lord knows I tried). Felt like I failed him again when I neglected to tell him to push in the clutch at a stop sign. He built the entire drive train. I figured the fact that it was effectively direct drive with the clutch released would be obvious enough. However, he's spent his entire driving life until now holding the brake at a stop sigh or stoplight, and never had a problem. Thanks for your comment.
Thanks for the great video, and a nice job, on the engine. 1958 mom had a 1946 4/door special sedan, and it was the first car I drove, with my learner's permit at 14 1/2. These cars, are yet, one of my favorite.
I'm completely proud of you for tackling an engine and transmission rebuild (I watched parts 1 & 2) but equally proud that you allowed us to watch as you learned to drive a stick shift. Thanks for including that footage. Excellent job on the rebuild.
Just started on a 1950 Desoto Deluxe. I'm pretty sure it's the same engine as yours. You're actually the reason I decided to finally make a channel covering the process.
At least you have your Dad there to be part of the ceremonial unveiling of this lovely old sedan. I stalled my 61' Ford E-100 Econoline a whole heck of alot of time's before I figured out just how much gas to give that in-line six 300. You did fine considering the hinge on the gas pedal was rotted clean off. Great job my friend.
Once I drove with manual transmissions, I never went back to the automatic, they are the most beautiful and pure, they will not give you their confidence at first but as you spend time with them, they know you and you know them and that is when you feel a connection, real and true, it's like becoming the engine and feel the oil warm you, every crack in the road, the fuel flowing and know, how loud the car wants you to roar
I learned to drive my dads car when I was 15 years old, was a 3 on the tree with a clutch, that was 1962.. Legally I could only drive on UK roads when I was 17, had my first car, 3 on a tree and a clutch. I have had automatic gear box cars but not for long... I am 72 now, and been driving my automatic gear box landrover for 18 months and now hate stick shift cars - lol.. So much easier to let the car do all the work eh - Thanks for your video -- Ian..UK.
I had to stop watching ... that is so painful! I'll be chuckling over your first experience with a clutch for the rest of the day. Great work you're doing!
this engine,in average conditiion, is capable to start the car from a dead stop very easily in second speed and if you're handy with the clutch, you can even start in 3rd speed so your engine needs fine tuning. that car is a very good base for a nice resto project and the occasion to learn a lot of skills. good luck
I love it! you made it to 2021 never learning how to drive standard and you start on a 1948 Plymouth. Great job with the car rebuild so far. I can always tell a fellow fireman with the little firetruck in the garage for the kids.
Ooooh my God... I have to subcribe this Channel. Your feeling for first driving on Stick was like me on Drivers school 19 Years ago... And now im driving Automatic Van only at work and on private my Convertible with 6 Gear Stick. Oh i love Shifting on curvy Roads...
You can always push the clutch down when she wants to stall. More gas and a bit off slip never hurt no one while learning. Youll get the hang of it. Just think how the clutch works. Nice stuff. Hell yeah. Good stuff.
The engine is cold. Rev it up a bit, before you engage clutch/gas release. Fun times. Only don't like the colour, and it sounds like an old prop airplane starting. Perfect sounds for headphone wearers. Congratulations on getting it out of garage by it's own power. Look forward to more videos. Love from Scotland 5* :D
I really enjoyed this video and the engine rebuild videos. I am now 28 the first car I ever drove was a 31 model a and I was probably 12 my grandad was yelling at me the whole time and I couldn't see over the dash lol. Keep making great videos
Dude this is awesome I watched the whole build of the motor and to drive it never driving a standard before and have your dad there was priceless… Love it man East Texas here supporting the build
Dude your videos are awesome!!!!!!!!! 3 days ago I bought a 1948 Plymouth 2 door and your videos are the best my man!!!!!! So great to see you fix that car definitely subscribed
Congratulations looking forward to see more videos. keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. keep making. Keep restoratioing God Bless.
When it comes time to teach your own kids to drive a standard, use the throttle cable and set the rpms at about 1,200 or more. Then they can pretty much dump the clutch until it gets under way. Some of my first memories are of watching the pavement go by through the hole in the floorboards of my dad’s 1935 Ford coupe. Great job bringing that piece of automotive history back from the brink! It could have easily been recycled into modern transportation garbage!
Hahaha I'm gonna be the same way with the Power Wagon. I have practiced a little on my friends manual car but I'm gonna need my dad to show me the ropes. Great video!
I have watched your post from when you stripped the engine down. Alover, I think that you have done an amazing job. I say that because you are not a mechanic. Good on you. I have been in similar situations all of my working life. I trained as a ships engineer. I trained in Germany and got my masters degree there too. Some of the techniques and tools you used made me cringe, but you did what you considered the best way and utilized what you had. Over all it runs and you drove it. Congratulations. My name is Laurajane and I used to be chief engineer on a VLCC (large oil tanker).I have retired now and I am sixty-eight years old,so well done you 👏 👍. Kind regards from Laurajane in Taupo New Zealand
Sorry bro! Had to belly laugh along with your dad! Ironically I learned how to use a clutch with my ‘47! In about 1972! At least I had a longer driveway to practice in first, thanks for the ride along.👍
Felicitaciones por tu trabajo ¡¡¡. Has elegido para reparar un coche muy noble. Verte trabajar en el me hizo recordar un trabajo similar que hice hace muchos años ya con un Peugeot 403 . Has demostrado como con un poco de paciencia y muchas horas de trabajo se puede revivir un auto que básicamente ya no debería existir. Espero ver más de este auto y tus otros trabajos .desde ya que me subscribire a tu canal . Te saluda cordialmente un argentino desde España.
Great job for your first time with a manual transmission! Don’t be afraid to blip/feather the throttle a little more when starting out in first. You will learn to put your heal on the brake and toes on the gas when you are stopped on a hill. You can use the parking brake on a hill also. When shifting to second or third, make sure you have your speed up before hand. That way you have time to shift and don’t have to feather the clutch between gears. Shifting should be quick without throttle (double-clutching is a whole other technique). Are those synchromesh gears? I’ve found that having your idle speed set a little higher on your carb helps when learning to use the clutch from a stop, so long as it doesn’t cause shifting issues (some transmissions shift better at lower rpm). You made it around the block though! Just takes practice!
great work both on the build and on the videos! I hope you don't live to regret not painting the block, especially since you spent so much effort cleaning...
I lost count - was it 7 stalls just getting out of the driveway? Maybe you should learn some manual gearbox theory - before putting it into practice?
I bought a car I couldn’t drive, it wouldn’t run until
I fixed this car I couldn’t drive, now it bends to my will. I stalled her engine 7 times, yes this is true you see. Now I drive her smooth as silk, with gears marked one through three. Your gearbox comments, true enough, fall on my deaf ears

Your comment was so inspirational!
Kudos for triggering the creativity in Staller here:

Probably had it in third gear..lol
@@partsandresto Way to roll Dave! - Be Fearless!
The fact your pops taught you how to drive a stick made this video a thousand times better. Good job man.
For real
Yeah I feel lucky
The fact that anybody would have a driver's license and not know hot to drive a stick shift is just absurd to me...
@@partsandresto i had a non stop laughed repeat thank you.😄
1.) blows stop sign
2.) huge hole in floor
3.) wears sandals in the middle of winter
Love this channel 😂
Haha. It’s all I have to offer, I’m glad you found something that checks all your boxes on TH-cam!
@@partsandresto and never driven a standard transmission.
That laugh!! If Dad had only told you to depress the clutch pedal when coming to a stop! 😅 So fun!
The fact you completely rebuilt and restored an engine for a car you didn't even know how to drive is honestly hilarious! loved the video!
That mustache, those sandals, the double "hang loose" this is the content I subscribed for
I always aim to please sir. Haha
Those old clutches were hard to learn on BUT once you learned you never forgot. I appreciate you saving this old car. Good job.

Beautiful and smooth De Luxe. These classics are indestructible. Nice ride.
Thanks mang!!
Never Mind! You learned on one day.
I tired hard to teach my daughter "Real Driving" for many years.
Forget it!
She's got the grocery getter spirit.
Haha
Too bad Dad forgot to tell you to push in the clutch pedal when you come to a stop!! 😆 You are such a fast learner, you would have sailed around your hood with no problem!! Fabulous video! Can’t wait for the cat to have a floor and a muffler👍😘
Thanks mom! Any day now!
Awesome, im glad to see you save it. She needs lots of love, but wil l be worth it. Glad to see your dad giving you some crap. Cant wait to see her done.

That’s it dude, big egos are for frauds
Thata is awesame. When you get to a stop sign, just pust the cluch! And you can stop nicely. Also when you try to leave just add a little more gas, slipp the cluch, slowely release it, but I think you got that part down. :)

Having to learn a many transmission that way is classic. I love your Dad's laugh. I kind of giggled about it too. Well done on the engine rebuild!
Thanks for the great video, and a nice job, on the engine. 1958 mom had a 1946 4/door special sedan, and it was the first car I drove, with my learner's permit at 14 1/2. These cars, are yet, one of my favorite.
Awesome Job. Reminds me of teaching my son to drive three on the tree...
I never imagined this would be the car I'd be teaching my grown son to drive stick. Good things come to those who wait.
Great work man... there ain't no car like a classic. The best way to get around!
I'm completely proud of you for tackling an engine and transmission rebuild (I watched parts 1 & 2) but equally proud that you allowed us to watch as you learned to drive a stick shift. Thanks for including that footage. Excellent job on the rebuild.
Very nice for first-time 3 on tree driver! I learned on my dad's old Ford F100 Ranger, also a 3 on column shift.
Just started on a 1950 Desoto Deluxe. I'm pretty sure it's the same engine as yours. You're actually the reason I decided to finally make a channel covering the process.
Bummer you only got two videos a year old... would love to watch.
Nice job. You saved another old Plymouth.
I learned to drive in a 2door 48 plymouth....it smoked blue , but a fun car to drive...thank you for the memories

“Just think how the clutch works” is just what my dad said after the fact, and is astoundingly good advise. Thanks lollo!
My uncle has a 40 plymouth. Man makes me want to get it running again

Congratulations on getting it out of garage by it's own power. Look forward to more videos.
Love from Scotland 5* :D
Great job. A few stalls are part of it. My Dad learned me when I was around 9 back in the sixty's . Most cars were stick back then.
Congratulations , She's a Runner !
Sounds sweet what a beautiful sight thank you
You got it Jeffery!
J. S. Bach and Glenn Gould would raise an eyebrow.
Congratulations from Michigan on the inaugural cruise! Love to see the old iron come back to life again! Can't wait for the next video!
Thanks mr. Number scramble
I have a 1950 Dodge Special Deluxe.
Was my wife’s Great Grandmother’s.
This was my 1st car, same color! Bought in 1965 for 85 dollars. Memories.

Thanks Michael! Welcome to the Channel and thanks for the kind words. Follow along on IG if you’re into this stuff
Nicely done. It is a process. Just takes practice.
Haha. Dad forgot to tell me to step on the clutch at stop signs...
Nice! Looking forward to this one
Excellent. Congratulations on your progress. You did well for a first timer on a stick. 🍻👍👍👍
That was a fun ride.....what STOP sign...haha...whoopsie daisy, just missed it. I have a 37 Dodge D5 and I can hardly wait for spring. Bruce/Canada
Hahaha, on it!
Man that thing sounds good!!
Sure does. My entire neighborhood agrees
Dude this is awesome I watched the whole build of the motor and to drive it never driving a standard before and have your dad there was priceless… Love it man East Texas here supporting the build
Much better than mine GAZ m20. Thanks for video!
Proud of you man!
Very cool. Excellent video quality. Excellent job reviving the car.
Dude your videos are awesome!!!!!!!!! 3 days ago I bought a 1948 Plymouth 2 door and your videos are the best my man!!!!!! So great to see you fix that car definitely subscribed
Thanks Rob!!
Wow! Awesome! Greetings from Russia
Thank you friend!
Good job you did well you learn pretty quick good job. The car sounding good too good job on the motor rebuilt.👍🏼👏🏼
Best way to learn how to do something is just go do it 👌 practice makes perfect
Congratulations looking forward to see more videos. keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. keep making. Keep restoratioing God Bless.
Thanks Jman. I appreciate it
beautiful car
I love these cars, I have a 47 2 door and all that was wrong with it when I got it was a blown head gasket

glad to see the sandals again chief :).
Always🤣🤣🤣
Good job big buddy. It takes a minute to learn straight stick!
A righteous ride thus far! Looking forward to seeing where it goes from here!
Cool! Your project is really moving forward now.
Yes indeed! In fits and starts
Hahaha I'm gonna be the same way with the Power Wagon. I have practiced a little on my friends manual car but I'm gonna need my dad to show me the ropes. Great video!

Classical music is antithetical to 1948 Plymouth Specials. I have studied both. Very nice video I must say.
Awesome! Congratulations.
I love it my dad has a Plymouth p15 special deluxe 2 door coupe
Sorry bro! Had to belly laugh along with your dad! Ironically I learned how to use a clutch with my ‘47! In about 1972! At least I had a longer driveway to practice in first, thanks for the ride along.👍
You got it brother, thanks for the watch. It was so funny laughing at the mess with my dad. Good memories made.
Too many stop signs in your neighborhood, LOL! Flip flops in the winter? That is one cool old car, great job!
Dave's neighborhood is like a socially distanced warehouse for stop signs lol.
Starts rough, Evens out over about 15 seconds, cant even HEAR engine noise over the exhaust note. NOTHING... runs like a flathead. Excellent work!
Great video, it was great to see the car move under its own power again. BTW you have one of the better background soundtracks on TH-cam
Thanks Derrick
You'll get it figured out! Cool project anyway
All in good time!

Thank you!
Nice Plymouth n I myself have a 1947 Plymouth too n I'm going to put a 440 Dodge in it
That was fantastic, enjoyed it and subscribed.
Welcome!!
great work both on the build and on the videos! I hope you don't live to regret not painting the block, especially since you spent so much effort cleaning...
Congratulations on mastering the art of manual transmissions! (sort of...😁)
sounds really cool...
Thank you! She’s a beast
Good job, hard to learn on a low hp motor that might need the timing adjusted.👍
Good work
Thanks!
Good job sir
The car handled you well 😁😁
Great video Dave! Happy to see that thing rolling! I also enjoyed the holes in the passenger floor🤣
I’m ready
Yeaahhhh
Good job 👍
Tremendous job 💪
