Your little daughter is the star of the show, her enthusiasm just bubbles over, you sir are a blessed man. I think I would have washed the car first just to see what I had to work with. I literally hate trying to work on greasy, dirty cars with trash all about. Once the car started there was a lot of dirt and straw sucking down your carburetor. Can't wait to see what it looks like after you clean it up. I bought a 1961 Chevy Belair a few years ago that was sitting in a ditch, when we hooked a chain to it and pulled it out, the tire treads came off the tires because they were stuck to the black clay we have in Texas. I had never seen that before!

I absolutely agree, IF that was me and my daughter I just bought her her first car..... and let her help work on fixing it up. I just bought a 75 Nova in pretty much the same condition although I live in the desert in Northwestern Arizona and the FIRST thing I did was give it a deep bath so I could see what I was working with before I even tried turning it over and getting it running. working on a nasty dirty car just kills my motivation because a clean car shows me that it's on it's way, That's STEP #1 because you can't get a TRUE look at what needs fixed while it's covered in dirt and grime, like it that dirt and grime on the fuel lines or is it bubbling rust with a big ole hole? the world will never know until it's clean.

First time viewer. I really enjoyed having family time with your cameraman it's nice to see a family working on a vehicle.I I'm aware there is no gas tank. the gas can is what is used I know, but it's too dangerous to have a child in the car with an open can of gas. different if you do it and burn yourself up but the child it's just negligence. Sorry to come down on you like that but that's just how I feel.

I appreciate the comment Vincent. I agree that it's not the safest option. I certainly would hate if something bad had happened with the gas jug in the floor board. I never want to do anything that could potentially hurt any of my kids. But I also want them to experience the fun and adventure that I did when I was a kid. Riding around in a bucket of bolts, barley hanging together enough to make it around the block. But I do agree that it wasn't a great call on my part.

Glad to see you involving your kids into the car projects . My grandpa and dad got me and my brother involved with cars. Now it's just me working on old cars when I can. When I have money and I'm in good health. Teach your as much as you can. Enjoy the time you have with them.

I love this video. It reminds me of the time a friend and I took an early 70s Rover that was stood, locked up and one wheel in the scrapyard. In an afternoon, we freed it off, got it cleaned up and polished (that served as the distraction to stop us from trying to mess while the engine was soaking), got the fuel pump going and had it turning over. 3 weeks later, it had a new clutch master cylinder, had been inspected and was a daily driver that would crack on for 100mph. It's still about somewhere. Brill work and love the family involvement in the video.

I owned a '78 Nova with a 305 and a 4-speed, bought new. Much more zippy in my mind than in practice, but this video was a nice trip down memory lane. I brought the car to Germany in '83 and ran leaded gas through it (non-leaded not available in Germany at the time), destroying the cat, but I didn't care. That car was going to be left in Germany. And so it was. Thanks for a great video and a nice shoutout to your daughter who, I hope, has an interest in automotive mechanics down the line!

It was probally parked because of the fuel line, brake issues and the front seat. 20 years ago those 4th gen Nova's weren't worth more than a few hundred buck and putting $400-$500 in replacing the brake system, another couple hundred in the fuel system and a couple hundred for the new seat cover wouldn't have been worth it financially because these X bodies are just now becoming a viable platform to build on. 20 years ago these cars were just "old used cars" not worth much but today they are getting be a alternitive Muscle car build and GOOD classic Daily Drivers and your not just pissing out money by rebuilding them and getting nothing back by doing so. it's getting harder and harder to find the 72 and older 2 door cars to build because most of them have either been rebuilt already or they are rusted away and not a good base to do anything with so more and more people are buying the mid-late 70's car to build. 5 years ago noone in my car club had a mid-late 70's car but now there's 5, My 75 nova that I just bought last week, a 77 Grand Prix, a 73 Malibu, a 74 Maverick and a 78 Dodge Magnum. People are FINALLY seeing these car for what they can be instead of what they were.

Mate, I was rapt when it kicked into life at first turn of the key! Just proves you cannot keep an old Chevy down. The engine sounds better and better the more you run it and when you give her the tune-up, she'll be even better. I was watching the dash lights and that oil light and the alternator light went straight out as soon as she fire - cn't ask for better than that. New oil and she'll probably turn the light out on cranking. The starter - even though it looked like hell - sounded excellent when you spun her up in the driveway too, so only minimal parts to get her going and I reckon the tranny looks like it's coming around too - just gotta evict them wasps! The usual maintenance items for a long-term sitter and that thing will be a rolling restoration for sure! Hope her structure and the underneath is still solid after sitting all that time - I'd really love to see this thing come all the way back! She's an absolute beaut! All the best
