The interactions between Ben and Hunter are some of my favorite parts of this channel. They are hilarious together whether they are ragging on each other or unified in plotting against Paul.

I always thought the chevy II-nova from 62-65 (box novas) were the square bodies, (trucks are totally different story) 66 and 67 they were rounded a little then in 68 the classic nova shape came out and ran until the new body was released in 75.. I had several 71 and 72 Buick Skylarks that shared that body style. In 75 they came out with a narrower car with a much larger side window like hunters or my late grandmothers nova rs
A pocket knife, a truck, and a classic Nova. Hunter is truly growing up to be a good man. Paul, you are doing such a good job mentoring him.

Speaking of one horsepower, I live near a community that has a number of Amish people, and a man was taking his kids for a ride on a pony cart, and I commented to the man that that wasn't even one horsepower, to which the man just laughed. I love the work ethic of the Amish, as you almost never see lazy Amish people. They're not afraid to get their hands dirty, and could run circles around a lot of us.

I had a buddy whose family bought a pair of new Novas in 1970. One had a 307, three on the tree, the other a 350, with the same tranny. The 307 would broil ONE tire forever, the 350 posi one was terrifying!!! A hard launch, and 2 good shifts would put you past 100 MPH easily! Building a Wont Go that will do that is like crazy,Man!

I like Paul's approach, "I'm sure the story's gonna tell itself in a moment here." I wonder how many things Hunter thought he did to cause the failure till Paul told him it wasn't his fault.
My face hurts! Watching Paul's eyes light up every time a tire squeals! 😂 It is the simple things. 😂

When Hunter was asked how he broke the transmission, Ben was already chuckling away in the background. He then lets Hunter push the car alone and is at it again. Epic!

If Utah is anything like other western states, you'd need an act of congress to put a bridge in. A lot of western states are ok with rubber tired vehicles crossing water, but steel tracks are a no-no and a bridge they want engineered, etc.
In the early 70's my Dad had a 60 something white chevy car with red vinyl interior that he drove to work. I was really young, but remember sitting next to him with his leg out the door pushing us out of the garage...no reverse. He did that for a few years then got a brand new 1974 Dodge Club Cab truck.
I was thinking in the back of my mind that it's check ball sticking but that converter fix was spot on glad you got it done and great video keep up the good work God bless from GA and stay safe
Grandma Lolly is all smiles and fun, until she isn’t! Do not fluff around and find out! I know her without actually knowing her, she’s just like my mom- not perfect but better than we deserve! EDIT: I had not seen the end of the video where she challenged Hunter ! Oh my, Hunter, look out. Everyone mentions how Paul and Ben interact with the boys - wait 10 years and see the men they become. I grew up in such a similar environment. My dad and co-dad always treated me like an adult and gave me responsibility beyond my years- well it turns out I caught a horrible case of responsibility and hopefully passed that on. Now my dad treated me like an adult but that came with the consequences of yelling a lot at times. I figured out how to eliminate that- just like Paul I sure hope that we all continue to get the blessings that we’re receiving now! Stay out of water over your head unless you’re in a boat 🛥️! 2nd EDIT: the steering wheel is upside down too- perfect

Paul don't feel bad. 45 years ago, when I was getting into mechanic business. I was working at this transmission shop as a re and re guy. One day I had to take out and reinstall the C4 out of a Continental with 429 four times in one day. Turned out to have a tiny crack in the case. So, I know your pain.
“Bit heavy isn’t it?” Haha cracks me up

Couple months ago, I said grandma a big paddle board to keep her boys and nephews in line. So when she speaks her mind, she has a bite to her tongue, at times. Her young-ins have to hang their heads in shame. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That International truck sparks my curiosity. Can’t wait to see what it’s turned into!
loved watching this video! i learned to drive in a very similar Nova (driver's ed class in high school, early 70's) a few years later i owned a '74 Buick Apollo 2-door sedan, 6 cyl., man. trans. with no power anything. beige paint car, brown interior. it's one of them 'wish i had kept that one' cars. thanks for jogging an old man's memories, guys. y'all have a great day!
The amount of patience you have for transmissions is unreal. I owned my first vehicle I ever bought for 16 years (69 F250 that I cummins swapped) and I really really like that truck, It was even a bit sentimental to me but after two rounds of getting the trans rebuilt and only making it 100 miles I impulse sold it. Kudos to you for never giving up
