Removing the heater core is an interesting chore as well. The last time I did it I had to remove the heater box three times.

I am very impressed by the intentional contrast between form, the beauty of your videography, e.g matching your clothes to the car color, and function, getting the machine to run with minimal cleaning. This is exceptional artistry. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Simon, I can't describe it, but your videos have a therapeutic effect. After a stressful, hard day at work, or stress with your wife, the videos really calm you down. You feel like you're working with you. No one is just talking your ear off. Thank you for your effort and hard work!

The 50/50 is as good as kroil.

You should have 10 times more subs, because your vids are absolutely fantastic! The artistic vibe, combined with your mechanical talent, makes the coolest combo! Thanks!!

Excellent video. Two things I liked were that you solder the crimp lug connections (essential for good connection) and the use of a gas torch to make spider webs vaporise. Terrible shame about the cracked block. Looking forward to the new engine when it happens.

Best car video I've seen in a long time. No drama or dumb music and great film work. Very cool car. Simon has the motivation I need.✌️🍺

1956, the year I was born. I remember riding around in these when I was a kid.

Or worse yet rambling endlessly about what they’re GOING to do, and not getting any actual work recorded.

So very entertaining, even laugh out loud funny (when the wire brush got caught in the rag then you put the metal tray under it), .......and not a word was spoken. Award worthy editing for sure. Also manages numerous teachable moments!! Well done, well done!

This is like the fine dining of car repair

Fine dining?!? This is as blue collar as you can get. We’re talkin steak and eggs here. Ham and cheese sandwich with a Coke of the back of the tailgate. America c’mon.

I know you put in an absolute ton of work on these projects, and on the edits. Thanks for leaving the little mistakes in, when your pokey wheel caught that rag up I audibly laughed. Also, sick car, california bel air? Make sure to spring for that undercoat for the MN salt !

What a simply fabulous video! My beater is a 1955 210 four-door with a 235 six and Powerglide transmission. They all sound identical,. It was as if he was working on my engine before I painted it! Not long ago, I broke a fiber timing gear. That is a really wonderful experience --- pulling the oil pan and pump to get the bottom two assembly screws out of the front main bearing journal, to remove the cam gear cover. I installed new motor mount rubbers. I have had this car since 1995 so I have replaced or rebuilt every thing several times including a new wiring harness under the dash. Good steering columns for Powerglides are starting to get hard to find.

Your videos/content/work ethic is just epic, love seeing a new upload and rewatching old ones to chill out after a long day doing the exact same stuff you do. Great angles/lighting and every detail captured, with no benile music or chatter, it’s so peaceful.

I've seen about a million car restaurations on KZread. But this one stands out. I even watched through the carb cleaning, which I've seen and done a million times. All because there's a certain je-no-se-qua in this video. Must be the photography and the attention to detail. Well done Sir. Thoroughly enjoyed this one. And you've got a gem of a car there. Very complete and original for it's age :)

My first car was a 1959 Chevrolet Bel Air with the 235 straight six and a powerglide. Watching you work on this '56 was like a trip back into time! It is refreshing to have no talking and no music during the video (maybe experiment with some captioning-- mainly for humor). Looking forward to the next installment of "This Old Chevy"!

Very awesome. I’m not even much of a car guy anymore, but I love your videos. Takes me back to my high school days and tearing them apart to fix and figure out how everything works. You’re well past that stage. Keep the vids coming. Don’t change a thing.

Never knew you had closed captioning on your videos! Your cinematography has always been amazing and it's easy to follow what you are doing, but the CC made it even better! Thank you

It's always good to see a new video pop up. Your format makes it great and mostly getting to see the actual work get done.

Knuckle flex at the start is much needed. Can't wait to watch this! Thanks for the uploads. Great content!

Outstanding work from start to finish. I know whatever comes next for this car will be on par with your abilities that we have come to know.

First time watching and I am pleasantly surprised that there isn't any incessant talking or annoying music. I will be subscribing.

Wow.... what a classic... Thanks for giving me some great time for relaxing and to appreciate you mechanicial skills.

I really liked this video...I appreciate all the hard work that went into getting this 56 chevy running...I felt a bit sad seeing the water flow out of the block after all the work that went into getting it going. Excellent job...Thanks for posting!

Love your videos. It amazes me, how in older days everything could be fixed/lubricated/cleaned and would work for another few years compared to nowadays...

I love your videos, You put a lot of effort in getting a great cinematography in all of your shots, Makes the content very entertaining, Can’t wait too see the next video.

Taking inspiration from your videos, I started disassembling my car and learned a lot of interesting things that I had no idea about. Thanks...

LOVE this video format. Also, love this old Chevy sedan. Those Stovebolts are good, smooth, and torquey mills. Love the over riders on that front bumper. Never seen those before.

I LIKE so much watch you videos , your simple way to fix the old cars is incredible. I've been anxious for new videos like this. 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Hell yeah, Simon Renaultman just uploaded! Preliking, I will watch as soon as I am finished with work!

What a wonderful video, continue With the great work!!!

Hiya. Just found your channel been watching about four minutes so far , turned on the captions, then read some comments, all good too !!! I have a soft spot for four doors, they were mostly used up for family life ,then forgotten in some junkyard. I guess I'm partial to them, id rather have something like this one than a shiny two door. Cheers from British Columbia Canada. 🎉

Yes! I’ve been eyeballing a few “Diamonds in the rough “ myself just like this haha Love the content,keep it coming

I see you got a set of all-terrains for the Ford, good move! Now you can get even further into the woods. We had a '55 Model 210 with the same drivetrain-Stovebolt six and three on the tree. Funny how you remember those sounds. Hoping the owner keeps a six in it, that would fit with the utilitarian nature of the machine. Thanks for the ride!

Great video. First one I’ve seen from you and I subscribed. Great content. Keep it up. P.S. love the cat

Good job my friend, who ever got you started in working on vehicles must have been old school and taught you the value of rebuilding a part instead of just swapping it out! And I don't blame you for touching that black widow nest! Lol

THanks that was very enjoyable

Thanks for saving this car it definitely deserves it 👍🇺🇸

Great vid, Love to see and old classic return to run the roads! This one though quite old seemed a lot less crusty than some you've wrenched on. One thing though-petroleum based grease will damage rubber. Looked like a pretty solid old ride over all. Nice work! Hope a part 2 is in the works! Would enjoy seeing her all "gussied" up!

Thank you very much for another perfekt Video 😊.

I like your 'can do' attitude and intend to check out more of your videos. Even though I've been a professional and recreational wrench for 60 years, I still learned some things from you. Your brake line work was artful. I avoid using lubricants on brake parts but maybe high temp disc brake formula is OK? You do a lot with minimal tools but you really deserve some better ones for the sake of the metal and your customer's vehicles. I like the subject matter you are presenting and excellent videography.

Pickle Barrel! Yeah buddy! Best steak and cheese around! Said it before, I'll say it again, yours is the best automotive content on youtube. Don't change a thing, just keep on trucking!

Very intelligent man this car deserves to be restored

Badass camerawork my Dude🎉

Cool car. 4 door post, three on the tree, 235 sixer with that old familiar sixer sound. And you still got those bumper guards that so many guys took off and trashed. Don't get too rambunctious with a fast 1-2 shift. Those shift arms will both try and go up at the same and you'll have to pull over and get them unstuck. 56 Chevy was my first car, paid $165 for it so many years ago. Bummer about that engine block though...

Well worth the watch 😎👍

Nice work getting it running and driving again…

Simon, so impressive to watch. You are a master mechanic. Thank you for filming your work.

You have my deep respect.👍

To me, this car is better than a fully restored example of the highest trim level, with all options and largest engine that was available at the time. More of the higher end examples likely have survived while most of the base models were ran into the ground and scrapped decades ago.

Time to drop a small block in there or maybe even a big block lol
