These videos are a master class, not only in mechanics, etc, but in psychology. The fact that, while situations may become frustrating, or mistakes are made (and corrected) Mustie never throws tools across the garage, gets really pissed off or loses patience. Instead, he laughs at the obstacles, keeps his cool and continues on. Amazing to watch, and a great lesson for all of us.

I get the pleasure of working on and driving a 31 model a… I love the simplicity and general reliability…. But don’t love the transmission. Hard to keep moving smoothly…. And almost always feels like you can’t maintain enough rpm’s between shifts. Terrifying over like 50… but it is awesome how old cars can hold up.

My Dad would have loved to have worked with this guy because he was exactly as good-natured, pragmatic and analytic. In 1975, he and I rebuilt an old long block 396 for my 1967 Caprice Classic back when I was a senior in high school. It was one problem after another getting it running and it took all summer but he never lost his cool.

Fixing very old motors requires an enormous amount of patience. Sometimes more patience than actual knowledge. If you're not a very patient and careful person don't bother trying - spare parts are NOT usually available at the nearest auto parts store if you break something! 😐 But the rewards of getting an old automobile running again are enormous!

Good work, Mustie 1. It's amazing to think that this car was already a few years old when Bonnie and Clyde began their antics.

As a young 19 year old that tried to live beyond my means in College, bought a 1972 Caddy Fleetwood. Long and short, hit the freeway at speed ... and a "water puddle" and the Engine died. Would start (no mechanical sounds) but give it gas and it would die. "Chain Shops" said I needed a new Engine. Old man (which we are now) at the Muffler shop laughed. Bring it in by 8 and he'd have it back by Lunch fixed (and only $30 !!!). Seems Caddy used a "double wall" exhaust pipe system ... when I hit the water puddle, the interior wall separated and sucked in ... "Banana in the Tailpipe" deal. This reminded me of that ... and many of your "projects" with Rodent nests in the exhaust. Good catch !!!

I agree with you on the brazing. Many years back I had a water pump for the house. The impeller housing developed a crack and the local repair shop brazed the crack and it worked like new. In a vehicle like this where parts are almost non-existent I'd say this would be his best bet.

You always come up with kool projects, this rumble seat model is right up there. I watch every minute, I consider these just as good as going to a class in mechanics. You rule partner, good stuff.

Couple of cut down hockey pucks would prolly help that pc of wood or replace the squishy rubber mount ;) Getting that restricted exhaust sorted out and she idled what I assume was a smooth as the day she ran off the assembly line. Amazing machine of a simpler time in life !

Restricted exhaust. Very impressive pick up.

Good morning. Sunday and this Plymouth does not have a Hemi. That is okay. Flathead classic, and for sure adventures that include with every turn of the wrench, a journey down history. Wooden wheels, narrow tires, real steel, no carbon fiber, though enough carbon elsewhere to make up for that. Fast is relative. Made by with purpose clear to them in the 1930s. Will it be clear now? Stay tuned, where invention, creativity, ingenuity, and all things Mustie1 amplified to 11. For sure there will be sparks, and thrills, and deft of hand and skill. Another motor coming to life. Look out another Plymouth a coming to roads from yesterday, here today!

You continue to amaze me! I do hope the customer got what they wanted from you! Looks like that’s definitely a restorable piece! Great job

That was a clear display of inspired "mechanical sympathy" diagnosing that exhaust cloggery like that. What a wonderfully promising car! Sometimes you just know when it's a good one worth really getting into, that isn't just gonna break your heart.
