I get into all sorts of projects, mostly in the garage, but anything home improvement is fair game. I will do how to videos showing how I did something as well as projects for viewers to follow along with. I really want to encourage anybody out there to tackle DIY projects. With the help available online these days you would be shocked what you can do! I'm also building a library of knowledge and memories for my children after I'm gone where they can always find me for some help. I hope these videos can help somebody else along the way as well. Thanks for stopping by the garage!

Man, I had that exact same truck back in the day! It was my second ever pickup. I swapped in an engine from a Fairlane 390 GTA and my Duraspark box leaked all its guts out but never failed. Sold it when I went into the Army.
Very easy motors to work on. It was smart to do a compression test. Takes an hour to pull the head in another hour pan is off. A set of rings is cheap and valves can be cleaned and lapped. In frrame overhaul is doable. Too much fuel and brake cleaner cocktail with gear oil for compression. It sparked good fired and toi much brake cleaner and maybe broke a piston or two
Straight six engines best build economical on gas and with more horse power.... The kid is very supportive with his christmas trees antenas, and chistmas lights around him, working with dad.
If I run it a long time it gets warm yeah. I'd say it's normal as compressing air creates heat and it compresses a heck of a lot of air. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
I thought so too but further inspection a little deeper revealed a lot of frame rust damage. There's a part two if you want to see what I mean. Thanks for watching!
It's parts but who needs parts for one near you and does that car have what someone wants? I do not like 63-64 Chevy's. The styling is horrible. Ugly flat panels. Total box.
Hard to be sure until you get it out of there and have a good look at the frame. If it's good, probably worth fixing up. Parts cars seem to be all over the place. Hoods and doors should be no problem.
Excellent video My Legendary Garage (Glenn) :) also yes I my late Dad had gave up on his old 1976 Chevrolet Impala LS 4 door was only problem has trunk right by back bumper rust arm length before frame and MTO would let on road! $100.00 in sheet metal plus paint would notice it Lol that was in 1992 and so hood went for cap on farm tractor for my Auto Mechanics shop classes in homework job ! The motor , transmission also rad plus axle to another vehicle went and my idea is if car cost more than worth fix for up in $ yes scrap it out but got one worth fix up cost to break bank then do it ! There only car cost me a fortune fix and was lemon did make in was repairs constantly had it ! Yes Glenn those six cylinders motor are amazing and worked lots them over in Straight and V6 types also lots surprises to found about them in good way! Nice seen son come to help and this Summer Season is hot one ! Also welcome back would check a vehicle parts go on to and motor plus transmission and axle to!
That Chevy Biscayne is a good project car it's worth restoring again from the chassis up n replace the rotted metal floors n with today's technology you can order parts for that Biscayne n a new engine n interior n new chrome for her n a new paint job silver as the base coat first n a ice blue pearl 14 coats n 11 coats of crystal clear sealer to seal the paint.
My uncle had a 2000 Dodge intrepid base model just like that one but it was blue in color, and cloth seats and all. He drove it the day he bought it until 2011 when a deer ran hit the side of it, and left a huge dent in the back-left door of the car, he drove it a few times, but then after he got a new 2010 Ford Taurus, he left it abandoned and rotting for 10 years outside my grandparent's garage, I did a tour of the car myself back in 2021 when it was already abandoned for years, the battery was certainly dead, moss was growing on the wheels, hood and roof, and the tires were deflated. It was only just recently when my grandfather decided to haul it off to a scrap-yard, because my uncle didn't really do anything with it and left it basically rotting in the hot sun and freezing cold winter for over 10 years. I don't know the full story, but I was told my uncle wanted to do a "project" and my guess was it was too expensive to fix up the car, so that's why he didn't do anything with it for that long. I think the lack of care and respect people have for cars now have definitely shown why cars of the last 20 years have been scrapped, neglected and left to rot.
I doubt it would make a difference with how bad this one is stuck. Maybe I'll give it a go but more likely I'll just take the heads off and see what's going on in there. Thanks for watching!

Stuck in the home depot parking lot. Bike is locked in security mode. Watched this video, went back in and replaced the battery and boom she fired up... Going to change the security code so that never happens again! Saved my life bro!! lol
I sprayed the lift mechanism , using silicone lubricant, it make a big difference, turn much easier, plus keep the finger on the lift button while turning the dial, help release tge pressure on it.
