Thank you for watching! We hope you like the video and consider subscribing!
In this video we are starting a new project. We will be tearing this car down and rebuilding it with a full paint job. Before that happens we are going to find out if it will run and drive for the first time in 20 years. This was sitting in a field for years as a parts car. Most of the interior is missing, rear suspension is gone, wire harness is missing, and a bunch of other odds and ends. But that won't stop us, we plan on doing a semi custom interior and a new engine that will definitely produce more than the original 50hp.
We have another video coming out next week, we upload every Friday, so keep an eye out for that!

What region of ontario are you guys? I’m surprised the rust didn’t eat through it way more than it has

We are an hour north east of Toronto. Super surprised it wasn't completely rotted out! The floor on the drivers side needs replacing though. And there are a few other spots on the floor that need a patch. There is a rubbery coating on everything though, probably helped

I actually built a couple of V8 Vegas back in high school days in the 70s. I just watched your video about the Rust-Oleum paint job I would say it's about 20 years ago you can mix industrial enamel Rust-Oleum with a an acrylic enamel hardener and clear coat and spray it all in one shot I found this out while working in a sign shop in Texas in the winter time we could not get the enamel to drive fast enough so I took some car stuff that I had and mixed her up and man you could literally touch that paint within 15 minutes. Quite amazing just finding out something just by experimenting. I just recently did all the body work and stuff on a buddy's 99 Ford F-250 where he had bought top of the line chaparral paint, I have to say it was nice to use a quality paint but I would have never spent all that money to paint an old truck with old paint already on it as we did not spray the whole truck just all the repairs that it had. Cut out All the old rusty metal and welding in all new metal the only thing that we did buy was the cab corners. Anyway guys I just happened upon your channel and I really like it I actually follow quite a few Canadian channels. Half-ass customs foresty Forest and so on. Anyway fellas keep making those videos

Hey! Thanks for that comment! Glad you found our channel! Did you go with the 350 in the Vegas or 305? We were thinking 305 since it's still plenty of power for that little car. Not sure yet. That's pretty great finding out that little trick like that with the enamel! I hope you got a raise! Haha, at least a steak dinner! Sounds like you've had some fun working on cars trucks though! Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting!

Now these are the projects, like the dodge, could take your channel to a whole new level. Add a bit of Mat Armstrong to the equation, only with your own personal ideas and upgrades etc and you could actually be very successful. It must be hard financially as when starting off everything is on a budget, and takes a lot of time and effort. You are both awesome characters Keep doing what you are doing and I will continue to pray for good health, prosperity and for both of your families Respect to you both 👊🏻

Thank you very much for such a nice comment! Mat Armstrong is a channel we've watched for a long time. He obviously has way more budget to do his cars, but we do try to make our content as professional as we can with the two of us. If we even achieve a fraction of what Mat has that would be unreal. Really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. Thank you very much!

I would say find a vega with a bad engine to v8 swap, which would be easy since the engines don't last, but the bodies don't last either.

If its a Vega it has holes in the frame for a new set if motor mounts that a 350 will bolt to with no drilling needed. Even the tranny hold bolts line up. Did that to a vega as my highschool project back in the days.

That is fantastic, that is what we are planning on putting into it. Well, 305 or 350, the 305 is still plenty of power for this little car and we can find one cheaper.

@alan6832
@alan6832 6 месяцев назад
Leave the engine. not only does that save you time, and fuel, but the traction is also far better. With a v8, it probably would have gotten stuck in that mud and taken 100 times more time to tow out as you will ever lose during acceleration.
@RustedRides
@RustedRides 6 месяцев назад
That's true, the V8 will change the weight distribution. But for resale, when someone fires it up and it has that rumble, I think it will help! Also the 70hp that the car had originally was pretty sad haha.
@alan6832
@alan6832 6 месяцев назад
@@RustedRides I would line up the buyer first and let them pick the engine, but if you have the market data to back that up than I can't argue with the market. But you don't need as big a mark up if you have less time invested, and leaving the engine would take less time. Plus most original vega engines are completely worn out.
