Hey Dylan, I know it's nothing like this, and maybe you never get to read this, but I just want to tell you my story anyway. Eversince I was a teenager I was in love with cars. Especially the 50s, 60s, 70s American machines, but also the Japanese beauties of the 80s and 90s. I live in hungary, so I always watched your videos about these awesome cars with a sad feeling, that I'll never be able to do something like this, in one hand because these cars here, are as rare as Ferraris, and also like any other teenager, I had little to no money( in hungary there's no such thing like a "highschool car", people that get a car before 20 are really rare). Me and my friend always looked in gardens from the street that had a car sitting in the bushes, and we always dreamed about some day we find someone who will give the car to us, because he doesn't use it anymore. I thought this all will be a dream forever, however everything changed a few months ago. My father met with his friend at the church ( he and his family live a couple streets from us, but they usually see each other after church), and somehow my father mentioned my love towards cars. His friend responded with he's got an old Toyota that he want to sell. At first I got really excited but as I tought about it, I couldn't afford to buy the car, AND also fix up all it's issues, because it was parked for about a year at that time. The next time my father and his friend met, his friend heard about my financial situation and sad he would be happy to give it to me FOR FREE. I could not process it :D. Oh and guess what: it's a Japanese, 93 Corolla, and also a liftback model which is by far my favourite of all body types, and also because my grandfather also had a liftback Toyota, and basically I spent my entire childhood in that car. So now I have my very own car in the garden, and now I can do what you do every time: put it back on the road, fix it and enjoy it. I can't express how happy I am to finally get the chance to be a part of this community. I know it's nothing like the cars over in america, it's a four cylinder, 1.3, fwd, 88 hp little car, but I love it as hell, and it will be my treasure forever. Thank you to whoever read this enormous comment, have a nice day. :)

Honestly, that sounds like fun. Make a strong runner, make it comfortable, make it reliable, make it your own.

Hey Dylan. Top tip if you hang a mirror on one of the supports facing you if your on your own you can see exactly where the car is on the ramps. Great video as usual. Thanks again Stevey Mac from the U.K.

Dylan McCool, single handedly undoing the cash for clunkers program! Love it. God bless and stay well.

I started to watch your channel last night and it's so cool to see how you fixes old cars!! When I get older I want to be a auto mechanic!!

Just an FYI, the spindles are left rough cast and only machined where the race and bearing sit. I have seen that many times on old Chevy's.

exactly,theyre made that way since the bearing doesnt ride on the rough areas anyway.

Yah I'm with these guys I have a ton of these laying around I race short track and use gm a body subs all the spindles I've ever used look exactly the same

remember guys your original coil pos wire is a resistance wire that does the same as a ballast resistor and supplies 9 v to stock coil. HEI distributor needs 12 v to function properly! great revival

Very cool that you helped someone speed up their project. Wish I had neighbors interested in old cars. That Chevelle's color and patina gives me Big Lebowski vibes.

Dodge and Ford man grinning ear to ear driving around an old Chevy.. love it !!

I’ve said many times i love seeing you bring these cars back too life and on the road again! Great job as always!

Absolutely awesome to see the ol Chevy back out on the road. It would be cool to see it get a 4 barrel and a nice exhaust but keep the overall look

Old restarts like this are an absolute blast. Thanks for the content Dylan, keep up the great work. God bless and peace.

I have a 71 Cutlass that I found in an old carriaige house type garage that had sat since 1985, I got it on a Friday night and drove it to a cruise in on Saturday night! I ran all new steel lines from the prop valve to the new wheel cylinders I put in and of course I replaced the master cylinder and worn out brake shoes! Everyone was trying to tell me to put it up for sale but it hasn't happened yet! This car holds the record for me buying parts cars to put it together with! I bought eight of them! But one was solid enough to make into a runner! It was a 70 that someone put a 71 rear bumper on it so I put it on my car to because mine had rust holes and peeling chrome in it! Really made my car look better! The other car I bought had a kind of raggedy set of Cragars that I put on the 70 that surrendered it's 71 rear bumper because it had a set of SS II Rallys with bias ply tires that I sand blasted and painted white to match my car ! Also the other parts car surrendered it's rocker panel mouldings to replace the set on mine that had screw holes in them from the painter drilling holes in them! What a mess! Then I found a 71 Cutlass on Ebay that the owner couldn't seem to give away for his Buy it now price of $800.00 So I got in touch with the guy and told him that I had $800.00 waiting for him when he got to my shop with it no questions asked or negotiations on the price I wanted the car! When he got to my shop with it I had $800.00 in my shirt pocket waiting for him and handed it to him as soon as he walked through the office door! He didn't know what to think! Anyway we rolled it off of the trailer and were pushing it in to a parking place and I told the guy steering to steer it towards the frame rack so I could get something I wanted off of the car easier with it up on the rack! I just happened to have the 70 that I had gotten the nice 71 rear bumper off of on one rack and when we got the car that the guy had just brought up on the other rack I said that I couldn't believe my good luck so far on the Cutlass! I pointed to the rear bumper on the 71 he just brought me and said that is great luck! The 70 parts car had an almost perfect 71 bumper on it so I switched it to my car Now I just bought a 71 Cutlass and it has an almost perfect 70 rear bumper on it for my 70! It blew everyone's mind that I had that good of luck! The tentative deal I had with the guy was $750 and an NOS right front wheel opening moulding for a 70/72 Buick GS, I had already given him the 800 so I got him the moulding out of the car on the other rack and handed it to him and said we're even! He didn't know what to think! I told him that the bumper was a hell of a bonus and I also noticed the front tires were the perfect size for the car too! So the parts car was a good deal for me! And I wanted it to be a good deal for him! Then a week later I found a couple of 71/72 Cutlasses at my favorite junkyard and the owner said he messed up and paid too much for them when scrap was real high and then it dropped right after he bought them and he was going to lose money so I made a deal with him to give him 6 junkers I had and $800 for them to help him and me both out! So he hauled two Cutlasses to my shop and picked his junkers up! That is 5 of the parts cars I picked up to do this car! Only three more! Sorry to ramble on but that's what happens when you get to talking about old cars!

Boy, do I love the round tail lights. Just classic. The fun you're having driving that car around is the same fun and joy I have driving my 68 C10. Every time. I've never had a bad time driving my truck. Even when it's broken down on the road. Still a joy. Edit: While you're not...wrong...I've never seen an HEI clocked like that.

I absolutely want to see more videos like this! Even beat up, that Chevelle is pretty hot looking, with the most popular engine of the era. Good job Dylan.

That car brings back memories.....got my license in '79 and that was the first car that I ever drove. it was the whoever needs to drive it car of two family cars that mostly my stepbrother and I used. I used it mostly to drive to my summer part-time job at Hardee's.

Kept showing yourself work. That's what makes your videos awesome.

It will run a lot smother once the exhaust system is sorted but other than that I love when you rescue lost and forgotten cars so keep doing what your doing

Man that wildfire lift just makes everything groovy

Great job! It makes me happy to see old cars back on the road.

It would actually run better if the exhaust were fixed. Nice work Dylan !!!! I understand it's up to the owner

I know this is an old video. But this is my dream car. Can't afford to buy one rusted out or rebuilt! But one day hopefully! It's a beauty.

Love this build. At heart, I am a Moparian. But I like my Chevys too. I am 63yo. Back in late 70s I had a 1971 Malibu 350. Northern car moved to Florida, no A/C. Build sheet. Car was 350, 4 barrel, buckets, console, 4 speed, 12 bolt 373. Ordered with single exhaust for some odd reason. Miss that car. So this build hits home for me. thank you for bringing her back to life.

I love watching Mr Nice guy Dylan showing he gets fed up sometimes too. Throwing that transmission fluid bottle and funnel classic!

I'm a Mopar guy but this Chevelle looks even better than completely restored one. This ratty look looks Soo good.

Love this stuff. Another fantastic video Dylan. Watching you get these back on the road with some TLC and basic repairs and a few choice mods are my favorite.

love the content and awesome seeing someone local doing this and doing so good ,you're truly blessed

Thank you for sharing and the appreciation

Well done sir, enjoying the content! The more detail in the work you do, the more interesting this is to me and to many. Love your presentation and the humor is the best!

Can't wait to hear the Ol girl singin' through some new pipes!

After swapping out the distributor and the initial start I saw a remarkable improvement and said wow the second you did 😂 keep up the good work, I love all the content that you bring forth. Have a great memorial Day weekend 👍☮️

Im almost forgotten this car dude glad your working with this car dude

You need to a 70/30 proportioning valve and the combination valve should be upfront and you have to push in the button or pull it out so that you can bleed it you might have to vacuum Bleed It

love for you to update this car , love the content , keep up the great work Dylan you are awesome

I love this car so much man, the way she looks, the history, the rebuild, damn. Hello from Bordeaux, France !

Awesome I love that you helped get it going and then he will be more motivated and wouldn't have the headaches involved with getting it running again,I've actually done the same thing a few times for friends of mine.. difference is I didn't have a KZread channel and wasn't concerned about getting recognition for it and one of them was a best friend the other one that comes to mind is like a brother to me I've known him since the 4th grade.. anyways I just helped him get something he could reliably drive to help him finish hauling parts for fixing a car he owed money on..to be able to get it so it could be driven too.. and in the case of my best friend I would have paid for way more of the parts than I did and not charged him for fixing it.just because he was my best friend.. anyways great job Dylan sir.

Congratulations on the new shop 👍 Chevy all the way

Great stuff Dylan thanks I would love to see it after he gets some work done on it see how far we get it's a pretty big project

"and I'm about to put it back on the road...." engine stalls and silence. LOL I've really enjoyed seeing you bring this old Chevelle back around. This is the kind of car I'd just keep making it mechanically sound 100%, then maybe clean up and fix a few interior bits and just drive it. I'd have to find the parts to fix the AC though, I'm not a fan of hot weather.

Love the two tone colour, gold and rust!

Love the patina on it, nice save

Awesome fixer upper. Put some headers and glass packs and a 4 barrel it'll b a great ride

Wonderful thing you’re doing man,putting these beauties back on the road!

Them dui Performance Distributors just liven every engine you have put them in very snappy throttle response

The Reese Bobby car was fun, hope to see it after the work is finished!

Hey Dilan, love soooo much your last words, "fix what you can fix, but drive it !" :) Team barn exploration ^^ Thanks for yours videos, thank from France :)

Great video glad you posted keep them coming thanks

Another one saved! Nice work man!

Good looking car. But can't wait to see more updates on the Dodge Monaco. That's my favorite car so far.

I'm a total sucker for an old Chevelle coming back to life. I'm also a sucker for a 71 LeMans. What a great video. That new Wildfire lift is really getting broken in in a great way

I loved this type of content! Nice. I got a 68 fastback I could bring to you to get started on the road again!

Great car hope you get it all back together,for the owner, all the best to you and your loved ones

Your work is great. And. I hope the rest of the work is a whole lot easier. Enjoyed the video. Thank you for sharing!

Another great muscle car video. Thanks Dylan. Peace!

Great video bud. I’d love to see a full restoration or resto/mod. Full body and paint. To me, that is what completes a build.

Get you a nice mirror for the front of your lift,it’s great for checking lights blinkers and even a tool left on the rack 👍🏼

Those old chevy chevelles was the great muscle cars back then and are highly sought after now. That may be a "plain jane" with a little 2 barrel but it sounds really good. Id love to see it fixed up like get ding and dents out etc.

Dylan I want to thank you I really enjoyed this video in my opinion doing things like this is a great thing and I hope you do more of these

Great job Dylan. Your absolutely right. We should drive these cars. I have 5 nice cars some old some new but I drive them all and theyre all street legal. Keep bringing them back Bro. I also love your new place. Wicked as... The ULTIMATE Man cave. From Down Under in New Zealand.

My first car was a 72 Chevelle exactly like that only difference of had a 307 in it. Yeah my dad put a 327 four barrel and we painted it black. I wish I still had it but it’s great memories of my youth. Thanks for the content

I like the gospel music playing in the background. At least I think it was a slightly different version of "By and By".

Dylan you are awesome and ahead of your time on mannerisms and mechanical ⚙️ knowledge

Hey Dylan thanks for sharing, I'm looking forward to more videos.

You are right Dylan. Get those old cars back on the road. They don't have to be perfect to enjoy them and have some fun. Hope you do more of these videos. Thank you.

Dylan: "...And I'm about to put it back on the road" The Chevelle: "Oh have I got plans for you, buddy"

God bless, man. Thank you for the content.

This Malibu is turning into a great starting point for sure! I can't get over the carburetor and was suprised that the DUI unit fixed the drivability issues. I should have known. Good information about the brakes 🤘🏻🇺🇸

Now that's a Mccool car.!!!

Definitely keep us posted on the progress

Awesome! I sold my 70 Chevelle years ago,,,,,regret it. Looking to but another 70-72 Chevelle,,,,theyre so expensive now.

Re visiting this car in the future to see what the owner has done to it would be awesome 👌 @Dylan McCool

Glad to see this one going Dylan. Congrats on that lift too !

Great video Dylan. Shop is coming along too. Next up a new drive way.

love it when he brings out the modern distributor

Oh;love the Chevelle.I'm a chevy/GMC pickup guy and seeing that car brings back memories when I was in the service back in the early 70's.A couple of friends owned a 72 chevelle and a 70 Chevelle big block super sport.Seeing u drive that car,to memthose cars were the best designs,Not a fan of today's cars,altho they're more efficient and powerful.Hat's off to u,young man.

GREAT JOB DYLAN!!

Love those chevelles please show more

Hey Dylan thank you for the video I love the Chevy chevelles myself too and when you were backing up I don't think I seen the reverse lights working just figured I'd let you know and have a happy memorial day weekend; you and your whole family

Hey Dylan thanks for putting together a nice video you always do good work on the videos and the cars

Nice 72 Chevelle project !!

Dang it Dylan...don't make me come over there and straighten that dang tag up! great job!

Your measuring skills are nothing short of amazing.

the chevelle was a cool car and you did some cool things to it

Great job on the Chevelle. I like your videos and your work. I just might order me a shirt and sticker to.

I hope his plans work well good luck with that project

Excellent video back to basics.

I love this Chevelle that HEI cleaned it up a bit and it runs pretty good now hopefully the owner will get it back to perfect !

That Chevelle is such a cool car! Great video!

There's just something special about big whiskey dents on old beaters. They add character.

Car has such a nice stance

I'm a ford guy but I love these old Chevelle's

Absolutely 🤘. This will be a great video I can already feel it

Poor baby needs a muffler hahaha. Cool video man!

hi there dylan yet another great job awesome work bang on content i would love to see it finished all the best be safe

Back in the 90s I also had a 72 chevy same as this one. The headed were double hump heades

Looking good, and it sounds like your audio in the new shop is better.

I have a picture of my dad in front of a Chevelle about this same year when he was a young man. His was red with a black vinyl top.

My wife’s first car was a 72 Chevelle, I would love to find a good driver and make it mine, great video thanks for the memories

These videos are just so cool 🤌🏼🇫🇷
