Hey Travis Both cars sound pretty awesome and it’s really cool that they’re the same year and same colour! I wouldn’t ditch those old manifolds with the broken studs, they are easy enough to get out, if you heat the stud area on the manifold up cherry red with a torch, they’ll unscrew with some vice grips or drill and retap if they’re broken flush. Always good to have extra manifolds on hand. Love the wide whites on the truck, I have them on my 41 Ford pickup and look really cool.
That Impala is fantastic. Such a good vehicle after abandoned for such a long time and the fact the engine and transmission are still working fine is incredible. The paint"restore"was also great. That two tone has to be the best colour combo on that car. I really like your style of fixing things the way it was ment to be while maintaining the originality of the car. As a classic car mechanic myself i highly respect that. You've earned my sub👍👌
Really cool looking car. America really used to know how to make cars.
Wow! I would never have thought there was paint under the rust.

It's so awesome that you're getting recognition. You've earned it, dude.
Amazing what you did with the paint! As a pilot, aircraft mechanic and vintage car enthusiast, this was the perfect video!
What an extra special video!, All the stuff you got done on the Cars and the old Ford Plane!, And seeing y'all together with Chris, Jen and Gus from NNKH!, Both y'all are my favorite KZreadrs!, Well done Travis!! Jeff Houston, Texas
I love this channel and the compassion you and your dad have for old cars. That fact that you actually live the 50's lifestyle in your home is also pretty damn neat! I know this channel is gonna keep growing and growing!
Wow, rust on top of paint! That blows my mind. Great job. ❤
It's amazing how much paint is still on the car, nice work!
37:08 that hardtop with the windows down looks so good! Great that you got the trim and radio. You and your dad's attention to detail is peerless.

@MaxGiganteum I'm clear on the run off from the roof... the rust on the roof could come from tiny pits in the paint and then it spreads over the entire surface like moss over a rock. is that correct? is there anything in the paint itself that could rust over decades? it's actually a serious question coz I have seen run off stains but not from a rusted over intact roof. that why I'm a bit puzzled over this roof.

She’s lookin and sounding good. It’s amazing what a little elbow grease can do. The el camino turned out to be a sweet ride ride too. I think the international looks just right with the wide whites.
I’m obsessed with this impala. Literally my dream cars 1960-1962 impalas 😍 I also adore the early 60s
I love the car stuff but thank you for doing a video on the tri motor. I am a big fan of planes as well so this was a real treat.
The Impala came out great! It was a treat to see you meet the NNKH crew as well.
What a classy pair of chevys! I like the wide whites on the truck.
Loved seeing the folks from No Nonsense Know How in the vid! What a great surprise!
* Hey Travis & Dad ! Haven't check in in a while. Everything is coming along nice. Personally I would have used the red rims to add a little "Pop" to the old gal (46IH) I still love that one. I subscribed to follow her when you dug her out of that yard. I want to thankyou for the Trimotor Ride. Seen a lot of those in museums but never footage from inside during a flight. Couldn't believe how much paint was hiding under the rust on the 60 Imp. I believe that color combo is called Ermine White & Horizon Blue. Both sound great with the new exhaust. Cheers ! 🍻👊😎👍🍻
I agree the wide white walls look great on that truck. The El Camino and the Impala both sporting the same color scheme can be you family trademark.
I’ve always dreamed of taking a flight on that particular airplane. I got to see one at the Santa Monica airport ramp when I was a kid and my father and I took pictures of it and I just dreamed of getting a ride in it. You’ve inspired me to go find a place where I can get a ride in that plane. Car looks great and the exhaust sounds a lot better now. Love what you did with the paint. Have you thought about clearcoating it?
I just recently discovered you guys. I love your videos. I like your love for these old American beauties. Reminds me of better and beautiful days in this country. That plane was awesome. This was an awesome video. I will be watching a lot more from you guys. God bless you both!
I watched your 2500 mile trip and your trouble with wheel bearings my dad had a 1960 with the same engine and carburetor only it was a three on the tree he was always having trouble with front wheel bearings and wiring a blown head gasket finally convinced my Dad to sell it watching your videos brought back so many memories thanks so much
I got a 1957 Chevy big window pickup from a customer of mine about 10 years ago. It was sitting on the side of their house on blocks. It was covered in 4 different colors of primer. I took it to my warehouse and started HAND SANDING it with 1000 grit wetsand paper. I soon noticed there was a cool teal blue color underneath. After about 2 weeks of meticulous, tedious work I brought it back to life. What a cool color and a bad ass old truck. It’s now in storage. I need to bring that thing back to life….
I also loved the trip on the Ford Tri Motor. I got to go to an airshow about 10 years ago just before my Dad passed away. We got to climb around the inside of a B-24 Liberator bomber which he piloted in WWII. Man !!!! Did they ever build stuff tough back in those days !!
Hello Travis and Dad: The El Camino looks and sounds totally bad ass. Saving the Impala's paint was definitely worth the effort, now go the distance with Flood to keep it that way. The IHC pick up truck looks great but needs a set of genuine IHC hubcaps to complete the deal. Terrific episode! Thanks for sharing!

Love the attention to detail getting all the old parts working again. Cool stuff.
Straight out the back flush with the back bumper is always the best sound , and the 12” glass packs are the best, as close to the manifolds as possible..💯💯💯
I have loved those cars since they were new. My mom and dad started a cab company in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory way back and they started with two of those for cabs. Good memories and a beautiful car.
The paint on that Impala is just awesome I can’t believe you got it to come back like that. It looks Spectacular!

Thanks for the plane ride,great video lots of content.You should keep this car even just picking at it doing the headliner ,floor and trunk repair , etc..she needs You !!
It's nice watching your car come together. The sand off the old rust find paint under is actually a huge surprise. Nice Job! I'm waiting on the repair of the rails and trunk of your car. Even the big floor holes...
I wish I still had my father or an older brother to tinker around with on old vehicles.
The Ford plane was extremely awesome! A piece of American history for all! the ZIMpala and El Camino are also awesome as where they started when bought! Impala sure could use some trunk floor and inside rear floor pans.
That was great you spending time with your father and the cars are awesome great job for both of you and your father
I vote for leaving those whitewalls!!!!! It really sets the truck off. Nice job of cleaning up the paint on the Impala. I'm like you I never would have thought there was any paint under there.
I showed up and talked to your dad and it was awesome duct tape drags was best drag race show I have ever been to
I'm amazed. Solid rust covering almost solid paint? Wouldn't have believed it. 🤔🇬🇧👍
The Ford tri-poer plane is awesome , my first car was a 65 Impala so i live all things Impala .Thw 59 and 60 have the best looking dashs and steering wheels !
Looks great. Had one of these back in the day. It was black.
Great vid, lovn' the Impala!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want the 60 impala. My mom wants to drive it. She loves it. She's gorgeous the way she is.
Totally enjoyed this one, in my opinion your best yet. That Ford plane was unbelievable. Must admit i didn't know they made a plane. Keep up the good work geezer.
The chevy's next to eachother looks awesome !! Love the body lines on those early 60's chevy's
Great job on the paint! It looks amazing
Love that Impala! And your Dad's camino!👍
Just a great car. I like your dad's a lot too, and i love the truck. And the flu n drives are awesome!
Can't believe how well that paint came back. Looks Great!
Lovely to see you and your Dad again. Great Video.. Awesome !
That paint is really sanding out nicely. I enjoy your channel how you add history.
I like the wide white . That looks I love that all the trim is there nice job Chrome thank you, great.
That old Impala just keeps on giving!! Cant say I like the straight exhaust exit, but it sounds good.
Thank you I really enjoyed this video. The car came out wonderful and I enjoyed going on that plane ride with you and your dad.
Looks like a spaceship, love it!
Wow. That. Paint. Is. A mazing. Good. You. Met. Some. Fans

LOOKS AWESOME...GOOD VIDEO!
Really awesome what you 2 did to those chevys
So cool you got to meet Chris. I mentioned you guys in 1 of his videos a ways back when I heard he was going. You guys Derek and junkyard digs are amazing watch all of your guys vids.
Amazing paint transformation 😮. Great show, thanks 😊
This is so inspirational . it's so fun to watch old cars being restored. Maybe someday I'll fullfil my dream to restore a classic car too❤❤
Those tyres look bonza on that truckling... The Impala and El Camino look like they're brother and sister...
Thank uou for the loud plane trip! I had the same problem with my radio/headlight!! I will try what you have done!
LOOKS GREAT , LOVE THAT YOU GOT OFF THE RUST OFF THE IMPALA (IT SOUNDS GR8), AND THE EL CAMINO LOOKS & SOUNDS Grrreeeaaatt!!!
I liked seeing both vehicles parked next to each other
Good job Travis!! The Impala looks and SOUNDS a lot better!!!!
You run with the big dogs. Derek, Chris. This impala was a great job. Keep going.

Hi Travis, Both your and your Dad's Chevrolets and the International look terrific! Especially upon recalling the condition they were in when you found each of them. Great videos, all!! Although you did an absolutely wonderful job bringing out the long buried colors on your Impala......Considering your Dad's tried and true auto body skills and the fact you both have Chevrolet models of the same year, perhaps you should consider painting the Impala to match your Dad's El Camino. They sure would look nice together at any venue. Perhaps you can also find a pair of vintage, matching coveralls for both you and your Dad! : ) Looking forward to the "Fly and Drive". Best Regards and Safe Travels, Doug

Yes, and the car would look much better...I like original paint if it isn't too far gone(like maybe a few thin spots), but that paint is WAYY too far gone, plus it has rust and dents that need to be addressed before they get worse..I'm totally over the patina fad, it has been carried way too far...I'd drive it and enjoy the "patina" thing while I addressed all the mechanical issues, fix those first...then, fix the rust, fix the dents, paint it back the original color, fix the missing/bent chrome, interior and you will have a gem...
Great Work on the Impala!! Wow What a difference, and what an awesome car. Great Work Travis. I sure enjoy your channel. Old cars , Planes, and trucks!!!
Omg that El Camino 😮❤❤❤❤ and that plane ❤️❤️❤️

I would never have thought the paint would be under there. That Impala looks amazing. And now, sounds amazing too. That old Tri Motor tail dragger had to have been a hoot to fly around in. I've seen one at a museum, but I don't remember which museum. Your Dad's El Camino, that metal work on the truck bed is just phenomenal. Especially when compared to the IH with it's basic sheet steel bed. I miss having a car where you can sit on the fenders. Where the car is designed to be driven with the windows down. One of these days I'll find another 67 Fury III.

I would love to own one of these impala's, my great grand father owned a light green 4 door 1965 Impala, they are very rare here in South Africa, but it would be great to bring back the memories to my mother who learned to drove with the impala when she was 16 years old way back then Thanks for the videos, it made my day Greetings from South Africa Sien uit om die volgende episode te sien
