An hour and a half of content on a Sunday. I had big plans in the shop today on the cornbinder but the temptation to watch this right now is killing me.... Okay just the first 20 minutes..... 🤣
You guys see that, right? First time in a long time that I've seen a guy show about oil over rings to increase compression. So if you have a high mileage car, leave your car for a year or two and she won't start with good spark..then maybe just oil up the rings. It works some times. Especially slant motors. There ya go, pulled it a couple a hundred yards and the rings cut loose. Bingo. That was a cool lesson, Brent!
I had an old 60 Plymouth with a slant 6 that was about wore out. I had bought a 68 Buick that needed a tranny and exhaust. Guy at the salvage yard said he would swap if I could drive it up there. About 5 miles from my house. I poured a coffee can full of gear oil in it and it purred like a kitten. Salvage yard dude said it was the quietest slant 6 he had ever heard.. we swapped the old plymouth for the tranny and exhaust. Win, win
I want to thank you for taking me on this journey reminds me so much of my youth i had a 57 chevy no starter i could push start it myself bye . But it was sure ruff when you went down town you got in a tough parking spot
Perfect Sunday, morning in my case: Halfass Kustoms, long video, Brent's optimism. good humor, patience, and one of the best parts - a ride with Pablo.
They are hard to find one that the mice or weather rusted out !!! They are go old classic cars & parts are getting harder find & in iowa !!! Hope the farmers purchased them fix them up !!! Sad they crush them
This reminds me of a memory of youth. When I was a 19-year old in 1973, I claimed an abandoned 1958 Pontiac Chieftain 4-door from our local airport parking lot. I inflated the tires, checked the oil, installed a used battery, poured in 2 gallons of avgas -- and the old girl fired right up. I drove her the short distance to our home. In a few days time, she was licensed again. The local Shell station mechanic snapped on a set of retreads, then installed a tune-up kit with plugs, changed the tranny fluid and filter, adjusted the bands and lubed all the zerk fittings. The Chieftain was my daily driver for a full year before I traded it and some cash to a local roustabout for his 1966 Mustang 2+2. He really only needed a commute car and the extra money allowed him and his wife to do some needed work on their kitchen. Ahhh ... teen life in a small town. THANKS FOR A GREAT VIDEO.
'teen life in a small town' was a treasure that we didn't really understand at the time. I lived one.. and some of the events were almost not to be believed they were so nice. Example: my father looked kindly on a poor, generally dirty kid in high school who was sent away from the only local radio station looking for work as 'can't sing and never will amount to anything' by the manager. The kid was named Ernie Ford.
I live in the UK but always had a great passion for American cars. Enjoyed every moment of this amazing video. Brent's skills are truly awesome, a good humoured unwavering genius. Just the person I need as my mechanic.
I'm more of an Old's guy, but for a '58 GM car I would pick the Pontiac. Pontiac got the trim right on this body, and those taillights are pure awesome.
Definitely better than Chevy. After building arguably one of the best designed cars ever with the 57, they followed that up with that abomination in 58. This is a much better design.
This is the amazing part about old iron, it was made to last! Here you have a 60+ year old car, which was probably left to rot on a field for at least half its life and you can still run it and drive it with "minimum" work on it. Awesome! Cheers from Argentina!
Still can’t say enough about your understanding these cars. The Pathfinder is a looker at a distance. But if there’s anyone who can make her choice again it’s you. Enjoyed this videos as all yours. I’ll keep watching for sure. Blessings, Terry Eustice
I really had doubts about that old Pontiac 6 cylinder ever running.. Your persistence on these old cars continues to amaze me. Now all you need is some 58 chevy 4 dr floor and trunk pans. But knowing you you will fab all those parts in your skillful way. Thanks for your videos and knowledge.
58 Pontiac Pathfinder straight six, the engine's kinda stuck so no easy fix, she's a liftered poncho on 14's da wheels are a mix, not a Chieftain just gotta be a brave wid brakes dat can't even stix, drug around n fired up hot don't even hear no tix, Flintstone floor's n ratchets seats a 1st place pix, Pablo approved a face full a lix.
A very good thing seeing these pieces of history being rescued..if I had the means I'd be doing the same. Used to do full restos but the satisfaction of just getting them mobile is great.👍
I know what those piles of seat padding are all about all to well, the worst part of cleaning a car or truck sitting for years is the mouse and rat mess, love that Pontiac, what a score.👍
Thanks for the shoutout man! If the brakes aren't unobtainium then just whip out the torch! Time is money! I dig all the old Ponchos with Chevy motors you find up there in Canadia!
Another great find and save. Canada seems loaded with old iron. Rusty but anything is repairable. In Arizona no rust but hardly any old cars lying around. If you do find something you have to mortgage the house. Go figure. Maybe I should have stayed in Chicago. Love your channel.
Pathfinder must have been a Canadian model. We had a '58 when I was a kid, and the fuel pump went on it on a trip from Wva to NY. Had to spend the night in a diner. I still remember my Dad saying "it's got 85 thousand miles on it, and that's when stuff starts to go". He traded it in shortly thereafter on a '62 Catalina.
I really appreciated this video. I live in California and own a 58 Pontiac Starchief. It’s been sitting in my garage for 20 years and was sitting in a field for 7 years prior to that. I’ve had a plan to get it running and even do a lite restoration to make it a decent looking & running driver. Trouble is, life/work/lack of knowledge has gotten in the way. You’ve got great practical knowledge, built over your lifetime. Spray oil here, put ATF in there, feed jury-rigged gas line from tank in passenger seat, use screw driver to arch coil(?) to start car etc. etc. What is like 1st grade math to you seems so complicated to me. THAT’S AWESOME and I’m envious! I work in the finance world, but love tinkering with family autos. During COVID I even attempted my first clutch repair (love TH-cam) - it was a success, but I realize how timesaving it is having the proper tools! Took me 3 days just to remove top bolts from transmission/engine & separate and lower transmission (used a car jack with a half-ass jig I made to hold/secure tranny). You’ve motivated me to finally get all crap that’s piled up on it over years (X-Mas/Halloween/furniture/kids & family stuff) and start to work on it. I WANT to do some of the engine work, body work, understand the electrical… I don’t want to spend a lot of $$, but I also want it to run well and look good! Maybe after all is said and done, I can keep costs to a few thousand bucks while learning maybe 1% of what you know! Thanks again for great video! Terry from CA
Truly interesting to learn of Canadian versions of vehicles. Had a friend that had a Beumont "looked like a Chevell and a pontiac had a baby. That is a good looking car and relatively solid. So glad you saved it.
My Grandpa was "Max" . His 58 Pontiac looked just like yours. He survived a 1962 Tornado inside it. It was really sandblasted, but survived. Great videos Brett.
My beast friend’s dad had one of these back in the 60’s. Same color but a 2 door. He used to lean back while driving and always had one of those Clint Eastwood stokies in his mouth, so cool.
This car brought tears to my eyes .. I was born in 1958 . middle child and this car brought me to tears .. as you described it .. "I like it" . made me cry... thanks for rescuing her . she's worth it!
Very stylish design. The coves on the rear quarters somehow make it look like it's a two door, even though it's not. With all that nice glass & trim intact I hope this one gets a new life, not just used as a parts car.
Man if she could talk what a story she’d tell right! I don’t know about anyone else but I think she’d make a fine staff car to escort the general around with! A couple of stop signs and one or two one way signs and that floor would come right back to life lol. What a beaut of a find brother, shes real classy. Most definitely turned heads in its day, just as it would today! Thanks for taking us along… FUN stuff😉✌🏼
Funny, I made a comment halfway through watching this video regarding the stop signs, and just like that one appeared on the drivers floor! Cracks me up😬✌🏼
You are just amazing, so tenacious and crafty, God love it, you just saved this old boy. Wonderful video thank you so much for sharing. Take care, Dennis
Great save! It's a shame so many cars like that end up getting crushed because they are deemed too rough or undesirable. Thanks for giving this one a second chance to retire with dignity. Maybe one day someone with a welder and more time than money can patch the body up and make it into a fun beater.
I love how you never give up on a engine and always get them running if they remotely can. I love your channel and everyone of your videos. Just remember you always have a friend right here. I live in Ohio but I sure would come up to Canada to help you fix your cars anytime you want me to. I would love that.Keep up the great work and God Bless you and your family.
The smile on your face and that chuckle when ya got her to fire over on the tow jump says it all. What an enjoyable adventure on the ol'58 Beautiful Buick.
That is one of Pontiac's best looking cars ever. I miss the windshield coming back almost to my knees. The front bumper will break your ribs if you get under it and let go.
Always a pleasure to be a spectator in your adventures! Working on a '56 Packard Clipper myself. Putting an '81 Caddy chassis with a '75 Caddy 500 motor. Quite a project but having a great time building it! Keep the "saves" coming!
5:56 "We'll look at it someday. Just not right now" ... My immediate reaction was. "Riiiight" and a few days later it's Pablo approved. Good video/story, as usual. :)
That Pontiac is cool, exterior is so complete. It must be worth it to do a chassis, and new floors. Pablo was sure giving you some lovin...Happy to be going riding.
Brent you have found a treasure hope you find time to fix the old girl it is one that you will look all over the place to find treasure like that one i really love your videos hope to see more .
Ya we like the old "Tin Indians" - I've often thought about putting a X frame car body onto a perimeter chassis - just never got around to it - you know we'll all tell you how to do it - It's just fun eh?? - Our leaves are beginning to change here in Lethbridge as well.
Lovely lines on this car. Pontiacs and Olds are my favourites from this era. My parents drove a '57 Pontiac when we lived south of Winnipeg during the late 60's - awesome car. Loved it when that stuck lifter released itself.
What a beautiful car. Any cars available here are way expensive and way expensive to fix. Just love seeing you do what you do. Like to see this one done has so much appeal.
Kool car alone dent that it has is little one in the bumper Amazing Some much Kool stuff with the car. Thanks for sharing And bring this one back to life :-)
Love the chrome arrows (or jets) on the front fenders, and those tail lights. That car is huge LOL. Amazing the glass is intact as well! Marvel Mystery Oil works great. Thanks for todays entertainment and education Brent.
Wow. What a project. But! You are indeed the right guy for the job, you tinkered with it, got it running, and no doubt you'll have it road worthy and up and running, love to what you do with it.
Oooohhhh nooooo! Don’t relegate it to the dead line! I saw a lot of really neat projects on Your place. I did up a ‘59 Apache. I loved it. I can’t believe I let it get away. But I’m not young anymore. Got my hands full of the one project. Thanks for taking Us along for the ride! Even without brakes.
Love this ole classic car, she's nice, love the front end its looks like a beast, the dash the chrome the windows curved windows side windows the thing just looks cool as heck. I see why you like this one so much Brent. The car looks so much better just with wheels alone.. Your a master mechanic at bringing these ole babies back to life.
An hour and a half of content on a Sunday. I had big plans in the shop today on the cornbinder but the temptation to watch this right now is killing me.... Okay just the first 20 minutes..... 🤣
Best music on you tube! Some cars just don't want to be back on the road and will fight you the whole way. This is one of those.
You guys see that, right? First time in a long time that I've seen a guy show about oil over rings to increase compression. So if you have a high mileage car, leave your car for a year or two and she won't start with good spark..then maybe just oil up the rings. It works some times. Especially slant motors. There ya go, pulled it a couple a hundred yards and the rings cut loose. Bingo. That was a cool lesson, Brent!

Or just throw some gear oil in it..lol
You did dang good you finally got it unstuck and ready to go now
You do deserve a drink you got it unstuck that's good I'm glad you did
You can put a qrt of 90 weight in it and do the same.

Right on man. Love it! Another one saved!!! Pablo is such a sweet pup
I know you have lots of projects, but this one needs to be fixed, shes a sweetheart. Cheers.

Even in the tri 5 years I think Pontiac built the better looking car, and the 57 pontiac had the tripower v8, and made better power
@@notajp But isn't the Pontiac basically the same body shell with some slight trim mods?
Yeah, back in day had '57 Olds 98 Starfire 2 door... good looking car... fast for its times... unique 3 glass back window...
Watching this got me in a good mood. Thank you.
The X frame with the “floor delete option “. Brent, you crack me up!

Hi Dennis from Filer, Idaho USA. I am here to watch another updated show on the 1958 Pontiac Pathfinder. Thank you
A very good thing seeing these pieces of history being rescued..if I had the means I'd be doing the same. Used to do full restos but the satisfaction of just getting them mobile is great.👍

It is. This is one of those "Cheviacs". It is a restyled Chevy, rather than a "real" Pontiac.
I knew you would get her goin .Lots Of potential .Plus PABLO APPROVES
What sweet lines it has,definitely a keeper,giver her a name and I think it deserves it's own playlist on a rebuild :)
Thanks for sharing, always a good time. 🇨🇦
Loved seeing this rescue. Would love to drive a car like that, someday. I love the work that you guys do and I hope you know that you are appreciated.

How much for the 1958 Pontiac Pathfinder
The smile on your face and that chuckle when ya got her to fire over on the tow jump says it all. What an enjoyable adventure on the ol'58 Beautiful Buick.
That is one of Pontiac's best looking cars ever. I miss the windshield coming back almost to my knees. The front bumper will break your ribs if you get under it and let go.
Same as a 58 chevy
Love the look of this car. Classy
The 58 looks pretty good glad you got her running and driving
Have you seen HIGHWAY PATROL?
They used a 1955 Buick, and a bunch of 1955 through 1960 cars, I enjoy watching that show just for the cars.
I also did front brakes water pump thermostat and wiper pump today on my 76 c10 now it's time to watch you that's a big body for a six LS time
Always a pleasure to be a spectator in your adventures! Working on a '56 Packard Clipper myself. Putting an '81 Caddy chassis with a '75 Caddy 500 motor. Quite a project but having a great time building it! Keep the "saves" coming!
I agree with Old Town ... thanks Brent
5:56 "We'll look at it someday. Just not right now" ...

Good video/story, as usual. :)
Would love to see you get this Ole girl back to daily driver condition. Great video Brutha.
That Pontiac is cool, exterior is so complete. It must be worth it to do a chassis, and new floors.
Pablo was sure giving you some lovin...Happy to be going riding.
what a beautiful car it will be a labour of love😊
She’s a keeper. I would like to see you revisit her. Chassi swap, rust repair would be worth a few videos. 😁. Interior clean up too.
Brent you have found a treasure hope you find time to fix the old girl it is one that you will look all over the place to find treasure like that one i really love your videos hope to see more .
Ya we like the old "Tin Indians" - I've often thought about putting a X frame car body onto a perimeter
chassis - just never got around to it - you know we'll all tell you how to do it - It's just fun eh?? - Our leaves are beginning to change here in Lethbridge as well.
New viewer and I have to say you have more patience than most. I'm glad to see a classic saved from the crusher and running again.
Marvel Mystery Oil can be found at Canadian Tire, never had much luck with that stuff, would like to try the atf/ acetone/ diesel mixture
S
MM Oil is also at Princess Auto.
MM Oil is more lube then penetrant. For soaking it works great but for freeing up things not so much.
I love watching your videos and I have learned so much from your videos ty and you always get so many cool cars and trucks
Saw this car in your last video, figured it wasn't yours. This Pontiac echos the '58 Chevy a bit. The windshield and front end. Great find!!
Nice save. Cool car. Great episode, keep on keepin on!
Way to go! a nice addition to your line up.
I can't believe you can do all that half---- stuff & it can Run that well
I'm liking that a lot, looks awesome. Well done getting it running and driving, I knew you would 👍
Thanks for you to show me what I need to do.
Brent,man I am digging the ole Pontiac!! I would definitely try and fix the floor and trunk pan delete 👍 she is a keeper!
People amaze me always wanting to ls swap these old girls just keep them original worth a lot more to a true collector
That's a sharp lookin rig!!
What an awesome metal relic!
Great old Pontiac. It took a little work but sure seems to run nice now. It sits nice 👍
Lovely lines on this car. Pontiacs and Olds are my favourites from this era. My parents drove a '57 Pontiac when we lived south of Winnipeg during the late 60's - awesome car. Loved it when that stuck lifter released itself.

Just love seeing you do what you do.
Like to see this one done has so much appeal.
Where is “here” if you don’t mind me asking?
They are a better but than those jelly bean cars and any electric car.

But I’m not young anymore. Got my hands full of the one project. Thanks for taking Us along for the ride! Even without brakes.
Im not a 4 door type of guy but for some reason that ol Pontiac just screams bad ass
Love this ole classic car, she's nice, love the front end its looks like a beast, the dash the chrome the windows curved windows side windows the thing just looks cool as heck. I see why you like this one so much Brent. The car looks so much better just with wheels alone.. Your a master mechanic at bringing these ole babies back to life.
