It would only take 6 pairs of lungs to clean up all the surface rust underneath, then once you cleaned up all the rust , you will have plenty to do to repair all the holes.
@Georgeforget about checking eyes, somebody should have been checking that rust, if you sent that car to get it dipped in a hot tank , it would disappear, or you would get 1/4 of a car back. Puttin is Dr. Josef Mengele when it comes to torturing cars with rust,
G'day... it's your friend from Australia 🇦🇺!! :-) love this old beast!! After watching you and puddin for so long I finally got up the courage to start my own channel!! Thanks for inspiring me!!
I love that sticker! Amazing how the undercoating saved the bottom of this car. As I've told you before I'm not a GM guy at all but I am an old car guy. So I appreciate anyone that keeps these old rigs on the road. Thank you Thomas for what you do!
Body and frame wise this car is in great shape for its age and would be an awesome start for a project to get it back on the road, and it would be great to leave as much of it as it is! It’s a pity about all the driveline being almost destroyed by rust. The waterline on the doors was definitely a hint of what was to come. Thanks Mortske!
Hi Mortske. My dog and I always enjoy your videos. My dog, Marley had to have a vet procedure today such that they had to sedate him. He loves the Duff dog. He was mopey this afternoon after the procedure and was not holding his tail up. I put this video on again with the Duff dog and he perked right up. He's ready to play again.
Best channel on RU-vid. I remember the 265 with a three-speed on the column from my high school days. We used to wind them up that's for sure! Another entertaining video Mortske.
That is the most rust ive ever seen in a driveline! Just last week I got a 68 mustang 289 up and running after sitting with the carb open and no hood in a field for 5 years. I let it sit in tranny fluid for a week then spent a couple hours getting the 289 to make a full revolution, and now its up and running and found that it has a big cam in it too! Keep up the great content!
That's an awesome platform for someone to build with. If it doesn't sell it'll be interesting to see the direction you take it but I think this one gets a new owner being so solid.
Oh the humanity!! It looked like the engine room of the Titanic after sitting a hundred years underwater... My brother in law just bought a 56’ Chevy like this one black and white,fortunately a bit less locked up.At least the body and frame are pretty solid.
I gotta tell you that even though it may have been a "get it running" fail it was extremely satisfying walking through the diagnosis, I stayed to see what happened.
At first I couldn't believe u pulled it out of a barn and then parked it in the yard to get covered with snow. Then I saw the inside. Hopefully u will take better care of it than the previous owner. Good score.
Use the hooks at the BOTTOM of the sling to keep the chain tight! The hooks on top of the sling is for the excess chain. That front bumper would have tacoed regardless. Good vid Mort.
@@MortskeRepair LOWER THE SLING DROP THE BAR AND HAVE THE RUBBER SLING PRESS UP AGAINST BUMBER, TAKE J HOOOKS AND HOOK UP UNDER A ARMS AND DRAPE CHAINS OVER LOWER HOOKS AND EXCESSS GOES UP TO UPPER HOOKS THEN LIFT CAR UP
once you hook the chain in the t-bar hooks, wrap them from underneath so they don't hop off...your tech tip of the day...thanks for the videos. More talking less work!!!!!
Working on my 13 years abandoned 94 long bed Ranger while listening to Mortske. 20 degrees, snow not dripping down the ol neck because it's too cold. Paradise has many definitions..
Sucks that one couldn't run easily. That is a really nice project for someone. My mind is blown by how good the body is after the water situation. Might not be a real desirable car but I'd drop a small block carburation station with 700r4 or tree fiddy turbski and cruise it. 🤟

What a cool car. Nice find. I wish it was august too. I want to stumble across a barn find or two. Problem is it will be some of this strange 80s junk I’m into. 🤣
That body is a great candidate for a restoration, God damn what a lot of rest in the drivetrain. Hey what are you doing picking on Dan from DD speed shop 😂 I only recently started watching the guy and he gets things running and he and his wife were entertaining. You can't win them all. Onto the next project 👍✌️🇺🇲
Great Video, when you popped the oil pan and the diff, nightmare rust. I have worked on a bike that had hub bearings sat in water, they were a total wreck just like the car.
Real solid find, if you can get your hands on one, I think you should drop a 348 or a 409 in this. This would make a really cool period correct hot rod build. But regardless, it will be awesome to see what ya do with er. Another one saved either way.
I have been eggin' the Mort to do sumtin' wit a " W " block but he don't budge. So I leeb 'im in piece ! I say let's pony up some Poncho power and find hisself a nifty lil' 326 'n a tree fify !
I do enjoy Mortske Mondays and the car overall looks good but it appears the drivetrain on this one is smoked. That was a lot of water damage in that motor. Some days you get 7s and 11s and some days you roll snake eyes. Love the channel, keep up the good work.
I have been watching you for at least 4 years & after my years working on cars as soon as i seen the oil canister was off and bulging oil pan i told my gal he's going have to pull that one its shot on the inside !
The 56 is one of my favourite body styles it started the tear drop rear wheel well that carried over to the 57 Belair , much better look than the squared off rear wheel well of the 55 !
Greetings Mr Mortske, to bad about the drive train, it really is a nice car otherwise. Hopefully someone gets it to bring it back. Great program Mort and keep up the good work. Take care 👍
Hey Mortske! Thanks again for another great video. My favorite part however is when the white hooker makes the debut. I am desperately trying to get my 390 to fire and I love the past two videos had her in it. It’s an inspiration to hopefully hear mine soon. Love the videos and all you and duff do…oh yeah and chin for getting them to us.
Love the Channel and your Production Style. This 56 is pretty cool. If it were mine I would just clean it up and leave it a Patina Build. Could be fun to put something like a 4.3 l v6 out of an s-10. Good gas mileage and reliability. Ehh who am i kidding, I would probably just drive the s-10...
So did they drain the oil and let it sit, or did it run out when it sat in water? Either way, that sucks! Such a beautiful car. Thanks for another great video. 😊
I hope no one buys it, not wishing you any harm, it's just that I'd love to watch you work your magic on it. In the mean time, I'm going to watch your episode in transforming the 88 Suburban!!!
Hi Mortske . Thought Duff might still be running after that encounter with Bambi . Another sweet car but when you get the parts please do more on that bubble top
Leaving the 56 sitting in water ruined the drive-train, and that's a crying shame. The little 265 with the over-drive would have hauled it around just fine, yielding good gas mileage too. Even so the solid body is s good starting point for some one.
I think that since I don’t currently have a driveline for this, I’d go with an LS swap and make it a daily driver. I know, I know… overdone. But since I’ve never done one, it wouldn’t be overdone at my place
She's got solid bones for someone looking for a project but that water did in her drive train. Personally I'd go original on the outside but modern underneath. Towing like anything is a skill that takes a bit to learn particularly if you're trying to noodle it out by yourself but I would suggest practicing on something where nothing of value is lost by the inevitable mistakes,maybe a Prius. Oh heck yeah not even 10 minutes in and a clip from Better Off Dead. One of my 80s guilty pleasure Savage Steve Holland movies.
That '56 would be perfect for a 2-door conversion because there's not much rust repair to be done and all the weld areas are solid. And...it would make a great hot rod project because all the stuff that usually gets replaced is already toast so it can just get removed and tossed. Disc brakes up front and a 9-inch in the rear would be good, with anyold smallblock and T5 would make it a great street runner. No need to be cutting-edge, just a clean, old-school hot rod like my friends had in high school. Good then, good now!
Hey brother a little helpful advice! For Bernie. Get a wooden 4x4 about five feet long and place it on the bumper brackets when you pull up the sling it won't put pressure on your bumper! I'm an old tow guy for many moons. peace brother love the show
I like the 56s over the 57s, being a four door doesn't bother me. I would put in a new engine and a 5speed and just do some minor body work and gut the interior. Thanks for another great video and you can talk as much as you want.
Lane, I've been going to this school for 7 years, I'm no dummy, I know high school girls. Gee Ricky, I'm sorry your Mom blew up. SO many classic lines in that movie.
Need to wrap chain around the lower part of the hook then hook it to the top ! Also use a five foot 4X4 wood beam under the bumper so no damage accures
Gotta love that 'Front-Rear-Both' speaker switch. Back when all you had was AM radio, that was an upgrade to your 'sound system', but add the reverb later, and that was THE serious upgrade...(unless you had the 45 rpm record player, and lived around Beverly Hills.😁)👍🇺🇸😎
