This is my first first ever TH-cam comment. I've been a fan of yours since your HRG days. 74 year old here, and the first family car I can remember was our '55 Buick Special station wagon. I remember my mom taking my brother and I somewhere and suddenly pull over, stop and turn around in her seat and yell at us, "if you two don't stop fooling around I'm going to murder you." We climbed all the way to the back and just laughed. Good times. I"m excited to follow this project.
@@lamboferruccio My story is about a 1964 Chevy Impala wagon. My Late Mom & Dad had one that the third seat faced backwards. And they carried a switch that was just long enough so that Mom could still use it on me and my older sister.
@@Stitch_Mfs yeah he is!!! But it’s still amazes me listening to someone who knows so much about a brand and every model of car and every piece from every year those cars were made. We ain’t talking football player stats. That’s a lot of knowledge.
@@orygunchainsawmassacre6761100% agree. Derek finds a car in a field and an event planned. Dave gets to lead suspension build (bagged), Tony and Lucky take on drivetrain (something outrageous). Derek does interior/exterior cleanup/mods. They help in each other's specialties and banter the whole time...sometimes stepping out of their happy place to try something new. Learn a little, build alot and then go to the event to show off their finished car. This is like a 8 part hot rod junkyard build series if I've ever seen one.
@@StayTunedTA I knew you ruined him when he picked up the Fairlane. I know from experience after, I spent 5 years in Jersey. Texas still has the best Bar-BQ though.😅
Nah Tony he's a stay tuned fan for sure lol you just so happen to have some of the best pizza in the country lmao best two channels on the tube by FAAAAR js 😂😂
@@StayTunedTA I do want some of that Pizza you all be having, not gonna lie. I unfortunately have not even a third of the knowhow and skill displayed in all your videos. So sadly, I can not offer to trade help for pizza. Instead, I will just like and watch videos. :) :)
My Mother may she RIP had a '56 Special it was a tank a '57 Chevy pulled away from the curb without looking it ripped the front fender clean off only damage to the Buick was a broken headlight 😂
Listening to you talk about navigating new york and surrounding areas make me so happy to live in rural Canada. I can literally drive for hours, and have, without seeing another person.
@@brandonwarren4278 you should try wilderness camping. Not a single man made sound, just nature. But is advisable to bring a rifle, and be smart how you store food stuffs, and don't use fruity smelling shampoo. Bear can be an issue.
my grandfather had a barn where he worked on farm equipment and he had a gantry crain like this in there.. i loved that .. your shop kind of brings back memories
I Never thought I'd see furniture sponsors on Stay Tuned, but I genuinely could use a modular sofa! 🤣Like, it's the first add I've seen where I want the product!
My grandfather bought a 1955 Buick Special 4door as his first new car after coming to this country in the late 40's after surviving both Stalin and Hitler. It was two-tone red and white and he loved it because it was the first new car any of their people had (whole bunch of them came over together). I always wanted to get one and fix it up but....reasons.............so for now, I'll be content to watch you turn this into the most special Special ever. (too bad it wasn't a wagon model, you could've put a pizza oven in the back)
Another cool project. I was a Buick dealer line tech for many years. The first GM V8 engines had one common vulnerability. At around 60,000 mi. onward, the timing chain would stretch & "jump time". The problem became more common when GM went to a "nylon" covered cam sprocket(noise reduction) that just wore smooth. I bought countless classic 60's Chevy's etc. from parked for years (like yours) with "blown engine" lol, that just needed a new timing set, i usually got running again in a day or so & flipped.
love the mason jar fuel tank, if you wanted to make that a better setup for use on future projects, drill another hole in the lid and secure a long tube in to to allow air with out having to crack the lid
You're warming my heart here, my first car was a 54 Buick century special wagon my dad used to tow his Corvette drag car to Pomona, Irwindale Fontana and even Riverside back in early sixties. By the time I got my hands-on it, the old 330 ish Nail head, whatever was well-worn. So I found a Barely worn 425/360horse Nail head with 3 speed automatic from a wrecked 66 Riviera. I was 13 when I started the project and I drove that thing into the ground till I was 17 and bought my first Real car, a 65 Malibu super sport with a 327 and a 4 speed muncie. By the time I was done with the Chevelle I was running low 12 to high 11's at Iwindale And OCIR. Thanks for sending me on the walk down memory lane. Keep up the good work I've been a long time fand I'll keep watching you as long as you're on the air. Kevin Taylor, Southern Oregon.
My Gpa was a Chevy, Buick, Olds and Cadillac dealer in Wooster, Ohio for almost 40 years... My Gma always said, "we're a Buick family"...! She thought Cadillacs were too boastful, but she finally let him have one when he retired... It was a 90 Fleetwood and as a kid, that backseat was the size of a stadium...!!! Thanks for the memories... Keep up your awesomeness....!
I love you guys, thank Derek for my subscription. I was born in PA , raised in Chicago, then move to Austin, TX . I and my family enjoy your videos, Pizza people with a hot rod problem. I love it!
It is amazing how many old cars, special cars that one can find in LI. I visit my daughter there and amazed the vehicle I see. Coming from Point Orient through wine country is the best place to go old car hunting.
Ahhh time for me to sit down with my taco dinner, a super cold XX Dos Equis and a new episode of Stay Tuned!!! Always the best Friday evenings here outside Philly!!!
It makes me real happy to see Derek’s youngest son growing up in the shop with his Dad. The young man’s skills are growing at least as fast as he is. I love the questions he asks. Well done Momma and Pop!
Absolute killer opener with a badass barber shop!!! Keep the content coming, it just keeps getting better. People have slept on these Buicks for a hot minute.
I love Derek's show, and love it even more that you guys are all a community of car guys sharing knowledge. I know you are getting this thing together to run, but hope you slap a Buick 455 torque monster in it. 😂
I wish I could buy pizza for you guys every week but I'll do it when I can. Thanks for the hard work pumping out top notch content every week. I love the Buick also, my father, grandfather and great grandfather all owned Buick. I really loved how excited mom was whenever dad picked up a Buick. That's gotta say something for the brand when even mom loves Buick.
I have a 55 Buick century 4 door hardtop. SBC 350, 400 trans, 9 inch ford out of a 59 ranchero ladder bars with the original coil springs . I have had it built for years. At one time it had an olds 455 that I blew up. Love seeing this
You have to let me bring my 55 over and take some pictures with yours when you are done, they are almost twins...which is why I almost bought that one LOL.
@@StayTunedTA I probably cover all of your questions on the car, I think the 2nd video I go over the complete Buick Suspension setup that you get to scrap out! Don't try using those original buick torque tube supports as control arms, they will not survive. th-cam.com/play/PLfAwsTIeG_HFC0_7BkbyZsfDa7yLfC85q.html
My first car was a ‘55 Buick Special 4dr sedan with a 264ci nailhead, not a 322 ci like Derek stated. The 4 holers came with the 322 ci . Still have the factory manual and wish I still had the car…
Great build...Your glass fuel tank may be lacking a vent to displace the leaving fuel, should be able to mend this issue by drilling another hole in the lid and inserting a tube near the bottom of the jar and curling it on the outside to the same height...essentially a perfect "U" bend. Awesome video, thanks for sharing.
46:15 The exact frame, where the fireball comes out of the carb, would make a great motif for a shirt or something. Black and white shadings, the fireball lighting up the faces. The fender of the Buick poking out front and center. I can see it in my mind, I just can't draw to save my life! "It's alive!"
Tony i love your show, nothing makes me feel more at home than watching your vids. Im 54 and thought life was ok until now it isnt. Just 2 days ago i was notified by a court officer this house, which i grew up in, will be seized and i lose everything, including every single little thing ive aquired, bought and collected over the years, in just 60 days. Don't think for a second im going down without a fight, but things are not looking good. Im telling all y'all this because in these times we live in there are entities out there looking to take and steal everything you own. Be careful out there. I may not survive this physically but again not going down without a fight. People please protect your possesions with all you have. Turn your head and somebody will try to take what you worked for no matter how many years you suffered thru the grind.
I thought to myself when you guys were driving through New York, that's sounds like VGG driving music then boom he shows up!! Stay Tuned and VGG my two fav channels on the tubes. Keep up the cool shenanigans!!
Man, I wish I knew! Someone literally threw that thing in there at the yard, so we are gonna do this as version one, but a buick motor has to get back in there. The brakes and rear end and such will be a ton of work, a motor swap back in there once it's a car won't be too bad.
The Buick has a ton of character. Derek loves Buick and funny to have him in another video. You guys killed it again. I miss NY pizza. Made it there for years. You guys are making it! Gaining every month. Good production with the Buick. Lotta room here to figure it out. Here’s to next Friday!
We have one of those chain hoist in our Trucking shop. Its not an old WW2 shop but the hoist is old and works great. We lift big Freightliner/ Detroit 12.7 engines with it with ease
Tony I saved this car on my marketplace list I saw it listed as “pending” never did I think in a million years it would be Stay Tuned that would save it! So awesome glad it wound up in very capable hands! Can’t wait to see this super cool Buick back on the road
I remember high school, 2012, last year, me and my buddy driving to shop class in his 1951 chevy truck. Satin black with gradient orange/red flames. Red steelies and whitewalls. It had a olds 307 but it was a beast! No belts, no gauges, just a bench seat and a radio. Good times!
Yeah it would be cooler with nailhead or 455 power, but saving that beauty from the crusher or a life of slowly returning to the earth is what really matters. Well done. I cant wait to see all that chrome and stainless shine again.
Tony, first of all, thanks for doing these videos. It's great! I have done that drive across the George Washington, through Manhattan, and Queens, and into Long Island. Then drove back, with an old worktruck squarebody with a toolbed, bad brakes, and no idle. Fun times! Love those 55's.
That was awesome! I really enjoy your channel and projects. Tony you have inspired me to get off my ass and get my 56 chevy truck running again. I’ve had it since 1980. Looking forward to seeing more of your projects.
I don't know much about anything older than 65 so its cool to learn about this Buick. Its a great looking car and I'm excited for this project. The last video got my excited about supercharging something, I bought an m90 supercharger for $50 and I am going to adapt it onto my 88 4 runner. maybe it will actually do a burnout when I'm done!
I have a 1956 Buick Special 4d hardtop that is mostly original. I have installed a modern brake booster with a dual pot master cylinder on it, and electric wipers, but other than that it is stock. I have had it for 38 years.
I used to have a 54 Mercury 2 door hardtop. It was a damn nice looking car. It had a 2 speed automatic, vacuum wipers, power brakes, an overhead valve v8, and a tube radio THAT WORKED.
Got my car from long island. Lot of people live there. Most people take care of their homes, vehicles. Highly recommend the island for wuality cars and trucks.
Love old Buicks. Such a great style. It's a shame somebody already pulled out the original drivetrain. But I'd love to have something like this to cruise in. Regardless of what the drivetrain is or what it looks like
Try venting your fuel jar with a second hose from the cap to the bottom of the jar. When it's upside down air can get in and you won't have a vacuum in the jar.
Derek's back! I guess now that he's in the 'hood, we'll be seeing him more often? That'd be great, 'cause you guys are good together on camera. Love the car, and am really looking forward to what you're gonna do with it!✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦

gas tanks have vents because you need air to flow in for fuel to flow out. (which is why it kept dy*ng on the IV drip) love StayTuned! 👍
Came to the comments to say this. Without a vent their fuel delivery system is going to cause it to starve for fuel after running a few seconds.
@jakeliles5842 no it takes a while.. that doesn't take seconds.
If we don't save that Buick then WE'RE GONNA LOSE THE SHOP!!!

As it turns out, Alex and lucky lost the shop lol

What a killer car buying experience! Buying a badass car with a complimentary cut for the crew. What a genuine guy!
Tristan is a legend. might have to get this thing back to him one day.
One of my favorite episodes yet! Love the look of the Buick. As always having Derek by the show, does not disappoint
Hear hear to dat!! Absolutely LOVE that Tony bought it and will be taking it BACK to the streets 🙂
The fuel in the mason jar is probably pulling vacuum on the jar and not feeding the carb well enough.

1955 Buicks are my all time favorite! I love this, i am also building one over on my channel, loving the content guys!
Tony, first of all, thanks for doing these videos. It's great!
I have done that drive across the George Washington, through Manhattan, and Queens, and into Long Island. Then drove back, with an old worktruck squarebody with a toolbed, bad brakes, and no idle. Fun times! Love those 55's.
Love the four-door hardtop! An extinct bodystyle that still looks great.
That was awesome! I really enjoy your channel and projects. Tony you have inspired me to get off my ass and get my 56 chevy truck running again. I’ve had it since 1980. Looking forward to seeing more of your projects.
I don't know much about anything older than 65 so its cool to learn about this Buick. Its a great looking car and I'm excited for this project. The last video got my excited about supercharging something, I bought an m90 supercharger for $50 and I am going to adapt it onto my 88 4 runner. maybe it will actually do a burnout when I'm done!
Man what an EPIC car and build. Cant wait for next week
I just yesterday picked up a 54 kaiser special for a project car, now I sit down at my computer today to see my boy tony gots him a 50s sled too.
Great to see you and Derek! You need to give him a hand on another project when he's in your neck of the woods!
My grandfather had a 55 Buick Special that my dad used to drive. He always said that the dynaflow transmission was the smoothest transmission every
Gotta be honest, when you lifted the hood and said there was a small block in it my heart sank, but I kept watching reluctantly. Nice save though.
I have a 1956 Buick Special 4d hardtop that is mostly original. I have installed a modern brake booster with a dual pot master cylinder on it, and electric wipers, but other than that it is stock. I have had it for 38 years.
BattleBorn Brakes sells a kit to replace the brake pedal and put the master cylinder under the hood on this car.
Brother I do this drive once a year for Easter to see family. That drive hurts my soul.
I used to have a 54 Mercury 2 door hardtop. It was a damn nice looking car. It had a 2 speed automatic, vacuum wipers, power brakes, an overhead valve v8, and a tube radio THAT WORKED.
Beautiful car! Nothing wrong with a small block Chevy. Can't wait to see it on the road!
Thanks! Appreciate it!
Got my car from long island. Lot of people live there. Most people take care of their homes, vehicles. Highly recommend the island for wuality cars and trucks.
Love old Buicks. Such a great style. It's a shame somebody already pulled out the original drivetrain. But I'd love to have something like this to cruise in. Regardless of what the drivetrain is or what it looks like
Try venting your fuel jar with a second hose from the cap to the bottom of the jar. When it's upside down air can get in and you won't have a vacuum in the jar.
Tony and Derek together would rule the internet ,the ultimate channel !
Cool to see the mirrors. I have one I have had for a very long time and had no idea what it went on, it just looked cool.
Derek's back! I guess now that he's in the 'hood, we'll be seeing him more often? That'd be great, 'cause you guys are good together on camera.
Love the car, and am really looking forward to what you're gonna do with it!✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦
I noticed the editing upgrades this episode. Music & slow-Mos and more. Keep rocking on guys. Appreciate this sbow
