You're welcome Travis 😊.

Good gosh! You folks are going from strength to strength! I really enjoy the non-screaming, drama-free, relaxing wrenching! Good on Dad for finding ways to use up the extra paint that was left over from the wheels. Indeed…who can afford to pore it into something and let it dry up at today’s paint prices? I felt I was just leaning over your fenders and scootching down under the car to watch you folks. You made wonderful camera angle and editing choices. The little snippets of Boo supervising the operation were most welcome, too. This 60+ year-old geezer had very little trouble making out your speaking on this one-speaker iPad. The sound on your video is quite serviceable! You moved your narrative along nicely by buying properly-designed and professionally-built wiring harnesses; hacking an electrical system out of corroded wires, lousy soldering and electrical tape cuts the cheese, not the mustard. Mahalo for not putting yourselves…and us…through that, 😂😅. It’s obvious you, your Dad and Boo are relaxed and just humming along and having fun doing this project. I look forward to the next installment! Aloha!

I remember the 1st car that I learned how to drive on was a 67 El Camino with a 283 and a factory four-speed. I have a soft heart for El Caminos. I think it's a good thing trying to save that old truck for the simple fact we gotta save as many of these old cars as possible. I always say the old cars have a soul and a story to tell.

Thanks for saving this '60 Elcamino!! Looking good!!!

It's actually sunlight that destroys tires. If you want to store good tires for a prolonged period of time, put them in heavy mill black trash bags and store them in a cool, dry, dark place.They will last indefinitely stored this way.

Yes I agree 💯 on this. When tires are protected from light it greatly extends their lifespan. 😊

I dig your philosophy of refurbishing the operational parts and leaving the aesthetic stuff the way it is. Keep up the good work!

Coming along so nicely, I'm so glad your Dad didn't paint the rims like most people did back in the day (Red). They actually look good in this color.

Your paint color is crown sapphire metallic, the color Scott at coldwarmotors dusted in on his 59 biscayne, that car had engine completely frozen, so another six from a Pontiac was found needing a starter, fuel pump, carb, and point which for for the first test were from a coffee can and of unknown origin and not from a car, part from 59 pontiac helped, and new points, it's really great seeing it come together and the paint surprise is great

great job getting the old girl running again. If I was you guys....... I would dump a can of Seafoam in that gas tank right quick , it will help clean out the junk in that carb. Also , what about hooking a up a heater hose to that top fitting on the heater core and then pouring in as much CLR as it can hold and let it sit over night. I'm think that it would clean out all the old junk in that heater core. Not sure if it will work , but it's wirth a try. Keep up the great work guys

an old guy showed me a trick for gaskets many years ago and i used it on manifolds, trans pan and oil pans. thread a length of cotton sewing thread thru bolt holes and such until you get the bolts started. then you can pull it all out before tightening everything up. works like a charm! ....if you miss a piece here n there the gasket still seals just fine. love them wheels n tires! 😁 oh, and cut that air cleaner stud before you poke a hole in the hood!

Dad - WTF? how could u have painted over 53 yrs of history? over the character of that patina? twas a restoration crime! Travis did a good job of taking that in stride. one wonders whether the new paint can be stripped - worth a try? even if not the same as the patina, might look better with the other patina panels. in any case, it's special to see father and son collaborating and the paint-over mistake can be accepted as part of the work that is being created / revealed. cant wait to see the finish on this. :)

I've always had good luck with Goodyear tires. They seem to last the longest and don't really care if they're sitting around for a while. But we had a family friend who worked a tire shop and would always sell us the very best Goodyear tires they had for 90 bucks per tire for our fleet of c1500s. Also I've never done that antiseize on the coolant hose trick before. That would be handy because I've had to just get a box cutter and cut a slit and peel it off the neck before.

Love that car Travis! It is a looker on the cheap, so to speak! It will make someone a happy driver when completed, and maybe totally redone. Dad is pretty smart, he went to town on them cooling lines! Couldn't have done them any better.

I like your channel the heater core has a bolt on heater control valve it might be stuck in the off position.They make the heater core but you will have to reuse the control valve . There are places that can rebuild the control valve . Doing it on the cheap what I did mine is a Biscayne I bought one for a 1962 with out A/C it's the same width and height but a little shorter and you will have to redrill the holes in the fire wall and put a inline heater valve.

When I was a kid, my dad had a late 60's El Camino. I remember him rebuilding the engine and when he got it running we took it down the highway and opened it up!! Fell in love with El Camino's ever since!

Hey guys I'm watching the video on your El Camino and you said some guy put air socks on it I don't know if you realize but all El caminos came with rear air shocks from factory it was standard equipment so they could hold a little more weight because they were very weak when it came to that? I love watching you guys's videos I like when you go on road trips and rescue cars and drive them back those are always fun to watch take care and give your dog a kiss for me.

Great video (except your Audio is all over the place) with a wide variety of items covered ... you guys do your level best to not let little things get in your way ... like that ! Painting hack for you in dry climates (from Texas but also lived in Morenci) ... before you start painting, dampen the ground with your garden hose (just enough to wet it but not make mud). The overspray will be attracted by the Water (Hydrogen bonding) and less floating in the air and being ingested into your mask/Lungs. Also helps keep the dust down and out of your Paint surfaces.

But you can go back and watch the earlier episodes and decide for yourself. Well everybody calls at barn find or they discovered a lost abandoned vehicle. I'm speaking in general not specifically these two guys. But in most cases they are there and somebody knows that they're they're so they're not lost. Somebody to drive on the property at midnight and leave them. Now if you'd be interested in a very low mileage 79 trans am. It was definitely abandoned in 1979 late or early 1980. They cleaned up the car a little bit back then. Even a repo guy would not go after it. Not really sure how they got it back that far in the woods. But is a group of teenagers I got high on dope and blew their brains out in the car. That one's definitely 😁 abandoned. They're back to for a little while for him but I found them. They went back to respirators hazmat suits and drugged out the majority of their bodies had rotted away yet. Parts of them are still splattered and the car today but they should be dried out. The car is pretty much rusted into the ground.

I have lived in Alabama for more than half of my life now...! But anyhow in his yard set a 1957 Goldenhawk Studebaker with a monstrous V-8 in one of the early superchargers...!

I talked to Andy’s dad and he said the people at the Alpo plant did not want the car anymore and they just gave it to him! I never saw Andy’s dad drive the car or attempt to... One day on the way to my grandmother’s house I stopped at Andy’s house and asked his father if he wanted to sell the Studebaker in his yard...! He told me if I would give him $75 he would air the tires up so we could tow it home...! I was only 13 or14 at the time so my father went with me to get the car with a toe strap he brought some gas along in a can with some jumper cables...! We were going to see if it would start just for the heck of it... We bought some gas in the carburetor jumped it off and the car started right up...!!!

@@iplaymytele yeah I like her whole said it was abandoned until he got it. Neglected when you forget to wash your car or air up the tires. So this car was abandoned by its owner and it could be sitting on his own property and still be abandoned. But that doesn't mean that somebody has right come in take the parts. I've got that problem from time to time. I could borrow a crappy old 58 Chevy with all the extras on including the 348. By the time I walked away from that car in 1977 or so, I could have bought it for $25. You know as well as me your $75 in your story and my $25 in My story by quite a bit more back then. But in any case there's a two-door hardtop it wasn't a scratch on or dent on it. The interior look like it's brand new and it should cuz they had something like 45 to 60 thousand miles on it. Ideas don't remember. I wish I'd bought the car like you said he knows it's an ugly old crappy 58. But at least it's a car and it isn't beat up. Well my cousins and me kept walking after looking at for a half an hour. He couldn't believe I was really thinking about buying it. It was an ugly old 58 Chevy. Remember it was America graffiti in the years after that that brought the 58 Chevy into the limelight. it was an ugly styling it still is not near as pretty as a 57. But given its current value I sure wish I'd bought it and put it in the barn. I say $25 it might have been $75 but if somewhere in that low price range. I wasn't anywhere near old enough to drive the car and had only sold a couple of lawn mowers that I'd fixed up and that's why I had that big wad of money on me. Yeah I know Studebaker had that little engine with their supercharged system on it about seven years after Oldsmobile had it in their 88. I always stuck with the 67 through 72 width 67 and 68 being my favorite ever since high school and before that. No I did have a couple of Camaros right out of high school one completely rebuilt and one I just fixed up. We're nothing completely rebuilt that one with my dad, I put a 327 out of a dirt track car in it. I sure wish I had that one back. But I traded it straight up for a Porsche that was a couple years older than that. You know until recently I never thought about all the great cars that I had. Now people and talk about the great little front-wheel-drive cars they had when they were kids. Well that's why we got to work against new people into the car hobby to keep it going and growing. thanks for the reply
