Happy to be the man who sent you the email. Can’t believe you came out to Sheboygan and got er goin ! Can’t wait for the next video. My buddy who you bought it from said you guys were the nicest people. Love it !

Omg that mic cutout with fountain of brake fluid was perfect! This car needs more love than hopefully just this episode!

It looks to be pretty well put together from the video. I think you two should bring it all the way back. Headliner, working AC, etc. The 35's look great on it. Picture it with Cadillac quality and a set of steer horns on the hood like "Boss Hogg's". I would go so far as using Cadillac hubcaps and cutting holes in the front ones for access to the hubs! Of course this is just my opinion.

I did the same years ago. I didn't care what it was, I set out to find any 30s, 40s, 50s car what was complete to learn mechanics on. Ended up with a Plymouth Cranbrook that was parked away when its original owner died and just left to rot in a cow shed since the JFK era. Was able to follow repair manuals and youtube videos while having absolutely zero expeirience working on a car (but knew most of what everything was). Got the car inspected and running and driving. Took me about 3 months because I was learning as I went, and of course doing something wrong then having to re-do it again dozens of times. The engine block and cylinders were all in great shape and no problems, so it was safe to do a running restoration on it without doing a full teardown. The hardest thing was getting the cow odor out of the interior, lol it took sooooo long to get that clean. I can;t say I'd have the same success with a modern car with all the computer mumbo jumbo, but I at least have the confidence to try :)

I gotta say I recently took a job at a shop that does a lot of work on older vehicles and muscle cars and the like, and I'm so glad I've been binge watching your videos as I've learned a ton about carbs and mechanical tuning. You guys are legends

Sweet ride. My Mom is 72, and I am looking a going to the bar on Sat/ Church on Sunday rig for her. She is a pretty strong old girl, so power steering isn't that important. But the AC is a must. She sweats a lot without it. Can't have her going to church with a hangover all sweaty. So if you get the AC working, I would be interested in buying this sweet ride.

I knew a girl like Mook back when I was a highschool kid in rural eastern Oregon. They make em SO good in the country.

AVS carbs are EASY to tune. Buy a "Strip kit" you will get BOTH jets and metering rods. Both are easy to replace WITHOUT taking the carb apart. After a little time with a strip kit I have never failed to floor any car without bog or hesitation.

Next time, try running a long screw through the locking gas cap. The screw will lock the two parts together and it will just turn normally. As for the bustle back Seville, it was GM's second attempt at this style, the first being the 1978 Cutlass. Ford also got into this questionable styling trend with the Lincoln Continental and Chrysler didn't want to be left out with it's iteration, I believe it was the Imperial.

As you started digging into it, it’s not as half-assed as I thought it would be. They bothered to add gauges and electric fans, the electricals of the Cadillac still work, and there are quite a few bolt on speed parts from back in the day on the old girl. I have seen waaaay sketchier attempts than this.

I’ve got a ‘79 Seville, and I’ve seen what those first gens do when they get hit, so Jesse’s kinda right about the ‘80-‘85 bodystyle. A rear ended first gen does literally look like the second gen, because the rear end will fold under. They made it a bit more refined, threw the window frames away, made it FWD and called it the second gen hahaha

Thank you for another most excellent episode! I do not have a cel phone and sadly the Raycons would only be an expensive paper weight for me. Still, I appreciate them for sponsoring your efforts! I remember when GM released these eye sore Cadillacs. My dad and I were travelling to visit my Great Uncle and we saw quite a few of them on the freeways. Both of us thought that they were butt ugly looking with the abbreviated trunk. When we arrived at my Great Uncle's house he was all to eager to show us his new Cadillac.... Guess what model it was. I will admit that the ride in it was like a magic carpet sliding across a glass highway down the not so smooth California freeways... But still, the profile of it, that shrunk trunk.... Gawd aweful!

This is why I watch your videos. Thanks.
