Here's a picture of me when I was younger 😮

I could be totally wrong but that Cushman looks like it was a police or a meter maid-mobile. The blue & white paint and extra lights on the side and what not looks police/parking authority. In fact if you Google police Cushman you’ll see what I mean. I laughed as soon as I saw it and said to my self just wait till they move it, those things are ridiculously heavy for what they are. They called them Haulsters and Trucksters. I have one with a little dump bed on it I bought to redo someday but have yet to get around to it. Parts pretty readily available. It wouldn’t be a terrible candidate to convert to electric if it’s locked up.

Yep all good

Regarding the holes in the shock towers, Ford didn't put grease fittings on their upper control arms back then, and a lot of guys would cut holes there to access and remove the end plugs and install grease fittings. Other than removing the control arms, that was the quickest way to do it. You see a lot of old Mustangs that have been "modded" in this way. New aftermarket control arms have a 90 degree fitting installed so you can grease them when needed.

Watching Sleeperdude is better than watching a Saturday afternoon movie.

andreamills5852 2years ago I was looking for a 1962 to 1968 Chevy station wagon. I just asked for two things. It needed to run and drive. I didn't care what color it was or how much rust I had to fix. And in the state that I live in there were none for sale anywhere. So I now have a restored 1967 Mercury Cougar instead, but someday I'll have my wagon.

With all the non-rolling cars you get, make yourself a large metal skid plate to unload the cars from your trailer onto. Then drag the skid plate and the car to your storage place. Then you don't have to worry about steering or damage. I am thinking out of the box.

I"m pretty sure the VW Bus is a 57. need to get a look at the rear tail lights , but i think I saw the round little ones like on my 57. I think they went to the larger taillight in 58 and no lip on the rear wheel wells in 57. Love you guys keep on doing what you do....

Laughed my butt off right at the beginning of the video when Marge turned around and caught Squeeze unaware, the look on her face was priceless. As others have said shame that some of the vans weren’t for sale a couple of them looked salvageable. And was thinking about the truck Marge wants, it’s a dually if you pulled off the outside tires that should allow you to sneak that onto the trailer with a little bit of room.

Hey sleeper dude, I love the Chevy 2 wagon. I have one like it. That’s the base model “100” series. First year for 5 lugs and a V-8 was available for the first time in 64. Will be watching for the build. Thanks for taking us along.

My first car back in 72, was a navy blue 63 Chevy 2 station wagon 4 door. Long story short, got it for $50 add long as I replaced the engine and transmission in my back yard. Drove it to HS for two years. Small 6 with 3 on the tree.

I picked up a 64 falcon to work on with my daughter. It's easier to teach on an older car. Always glad to see your family having fun together

I learned to drive a 3 on the tree on one of those cushmans! Fun little rigs for sure! Rear brakes are usually neglected, so good luck!

What a journey of rescue old cars. Had a laugh when Tosh bit the dust!😅😊❤

Cushmans were common campus vehicles before electric golf carts became cheaper. I worked at a government base in the SF bay are 25 years ago and the motor pool had a fleet of 4 wheel cushmans, and they were so fun! The shifter for it was actually to the side of the seat, can’t remember if it was right or left but it was easy to get used to. But we would race them a bit because the base wasn’t very crowded, soooooo fun!

Love your channel. That snake was a ringneck. Completely harmless and it was actually full grown. They only get to be about 10 in long 12 in tops. You're actually lucky to see one. Because they're so small and they're usually hidden under leaves and brush most people never get to see one in the wild. They eat little tiny bugs. Years ago I saved one from a swimming pool. Friendly little snakes. They don't have the bite power in the jaw to break human skin or for you to even feel it if they bit you. If you ever see one again feel free to pick it up and check it out before you put it back down. Keep up the great videos. I absolutely love this one so many cars
