the muffler damage is because it rusted internally and got clogged, so it half exploded from a pressure build-up. I had a caddy muffler pop in me once. it didn't look that much different.

I bought a 1981 DeLorean with only 19,000 miles in 1996 that had been sitting in a museum for over ten years. Everything that was a paper or rubber gasket on the engine gave out within the first two weeks of driving it, from having sat unrunning for a decade.

Hoovie, love your videos. You should be thankful that you have a trustworthy mechanic like the Wizard. When you can’t do the work yourself it’s every man’s dream to have a professional mechanic that you know will do the job correctly. It may cost more, but you’ll have peace of mind!

This car is just incredible. The simplicity is jaw dropping. Why can't things still be built this way?

As for your electrical system, you can utilize a 8 voltage battery. In the 70s when I started my mechanical career there were a lot of the 40s and 50s vehicles still being daily driven. We used to install 8 volt batteries to help in winter starting. The 2 volt difference didn't harm any of the electrical components.

This is an old trick to boost a weak electrical system, is not necessary if things are working right. You really need to figure out why things are not working and fix them properly, then the 6 volt system is fine. They worked for 50 years and they will work now. But, if you do go with the 8 volt battery you have to adjust the voltage regulator to 9.5 volts. A 6 volt Optima battery is better.

I need a moment to appreciate how many cool and unique cars are in Wiz's shop right now. Delorian, 46 Town and Country, 49 Cadillac resto-mod, El DoRODo, ferraris and a 300k mile Raptor.

that car is awesome! i can see harry truman driving in the back with his long cigarette waiving to the people! so awesome to see you guys still having interest in these cars. bravo guys!

I love the service lights on the Caddy being lit after he picked it up.

That extended crank on the Cadillac is indicative of a leaking fuel pressure regulator, which were famously common in the era, there was even a recall on them on some models. Have it checked, because it’ll pump raw fuel into the manifold and cause the manifold to explode.

What's cool about the eldorado is that it looks the same when it's on the highway as it does standing still because of those rims

There's a member of the national woody club that attends our local(new england chapter) meet and he has a blue one. It's, hands down, my favorite car at the meet every year.

Wizard, Chrysler did use that big straight 8 in marine applications. It was called the Chrysler Crown, and was available in various cid's and horsepower configurations.

Seems Wizard is really enjoying playing with a Woodie.

Nice woody, the Eldorod is way cool, but the 49 caddy is my dream car personified, right down to the 500 inch motor. Happy New Year.

The red door jams and doors look absolutely perfect. I would have thought that was factory and wasn't because the previous owner didn't disassemble it to do a complete color change.

That 49 Cadillac is a beauty!!

Hoovie - Speaking from experience her: With respect to your brakes pulling to one side; once all the hydraulics are functioning properly make sure the diameter of the 2 front drums are the same, and also ensure the 2 rear drums are also sized such that the drums on the front axle are equal to each other, and the he drums on the rear axle are equal to each other. Once properly sized and adjusted, this will ensure smooth, straight stopping. (FYI - I had an old Pontiac, and a grey beard helped me make it stop without any drama!) Good luck! : )

That 'Rodo looks even better every time I see it. Glad you were able to save it!😊

Man, not one - not two - BUT THREE !! awesome rides any car enthusiast would love to own. These are the cars that keep my interest in your channel going. Keep finding and fixing them and I will keep watching your channel!

The best you can do with a 6 volt system is to get rid of anything in the starting system that was not there originally (the cutoff, etc.) and use thick cables as short as they can be. Is that dashboard starter button original? With a good battery, good cables and original system, it will work just fine. Resist the urge to convert to 12 volt.

I've never had good luck with 6 or 8 volt batteries on tractors. The batteries themselves don't last. On a 300 utility international at work we had to put new batteries on it every 6 months with properly working charging system. Put 12v battery on it with no charging system and it lasted for 4 years getting charged couple times a year

@TheJohn8765

Yah, that ground is very anemic given the volts. The lower the volts, the fatter the cables have to be to carry the current. Id go for the lowest gauge I could find even if you'd need to make the cables yourself (which is dead simple in that application).

Miss the music bring it back Hoovie!

I Love both of them. Was thinking you could install driving lights on the radiator to shine thru the grille of the Eldorod. It may give you more light to drive at night and you won't see them much from the outside.

Also, in case you are not familiar with 6 volt electrics, you MUST use 1 gauge or thicker battery cables. You CAN NOT use chain-store 4 gauge battery cables, as they can not pass enough amps to the starter. You do not need to convert to 12 volts. We managed just fine with 6 volts, so it should be obvious that it can be made to work. Besides, 12 volts will burn out the relays on your Fluid Drive transmission, then it won't shift. Also, if you really do want more power, just use an 8 volt battery. It won't hurt anything, you just have to have your voltage regulator re-adjusted. Even Amazon sells 8 volt batteries. Also, do NOT try to use a little Group 1 battery, unless you have a car with an engine under 200 cubic inches - Jeep, VW, etc. Use the correct Group size or larger. Most cars use a Group 2 battery, some use a Group 3, which is that long narrow battery. A Group 4 is great if it will fit.

So happy to see the Sunburst Cadillac on the road finally. That is a rad ride for sure. And the brass filter in front of the carb on the 49 Cadillac was a common issue for cars in the 60's-80's. My father ran a gas station/garage in the small town he grew up in and one of the most common issues when a car was towed in was that brass filter. People would come in thinking they needed a new fuel pump or something else crazy expensive and it tuned out 99% of the time it was a $0.25 brass filter that needed to be cleaned out or replaced in rare cases.

You may have to full field the generator to get it to fully charge. Vehicles with generators tend to lose magnetism in the field windings if they sit for a long time. Basically when you full field the generator, it will "motor" if the belt is off. If it won't "motor", the generator is faulty. Best part is that doing that costs you nothing other than time.

Good on you Hoovie. Hello from Australia!

The Eldoroddo sounds great. Nice job getting that back on the road.

Sounds like Hoovie just wasn't using it often enough. You can't neglect your woody for that long and expect it to immediately respond on command!

Hoovie, I know it’s the business model of your channel to buy these things, fix them up, and in a reasonable amount of time sell them off so you can buy more. If I were you I would have a really hard time ever selling that 46 Town & Country woody or the EldoRod. They are so cool! That woody is the perfect 4th of July parade car, and you’ll never see anything built like that again. And the EldoRod…what guy hasn’t dreamed of owning a concept car? I know you can’t keep everything forever, But I hope you keep these both for a long time.

Wow what a gorgeous car's,love your channel u r so amazing at what u do .

In 1971 I bought a 1948 Chrysler New Yorker Highlander coupe for $50 from 2 elderly ladies that couldn’t turn the steering wheel anymore. The middle bumper overrider was all dented so they must pave done some bumping while parking. I would drive it 200 miles from home to college between semesters and holidays. Same engine, same fluid drive and the interior looked the same. It had electric windshield wipers I didn’t see if yours does or not.

My grandpa and I restored a 1940s mercury sportsman woody, thankfully he finished and sold it in ca at auction when these were still valued much more highly. I'll always love and appreciate the old woodys. Theres a bunch of car meet ups in socal that celebrate these beautys

I'm 79: my grandfather owned lots of Chryslers and Cadillacs--a new one every year. He would never buy a 'woodie' to keep because of the price of upkeep on the wood.

That 49 Cadillac is so beautiful. What a car design.

The damage to the muffler is from an explosion. Unburnt gasses built up and ignited. In high school our friends would set the ignition timing just right and we would turn off the engine as we coasted to an intersection, turned it back on just before the engine died, then BAM! the loud noise would scare people spitless. It was a lot of fun but I blew 2 sets of turbo mufflers off my C 10.

The straight 8 sounds so smooth.
