Father & Son Build 11-Year-Old's First Car - '59 Ford 

You sure he wouldn't prefer something a bit more modern,,,,and a bit better on gas...like a mid 90's turbo civic?

The boy listens and follows direction well. He will go far.

You and JD have proven that a father and son can still build something worth having that doesn't break the bank. Well done.

Dad is proud of son, son is proud of dad, both are proud of what they have accomplished! Love this channel!

This was the coolest restore video I have ever seen. Kudos to you and JD.

You guys are right up there with the best. Most interesting and well-produced RU-vid videos on these old cars. Unlike a lot of fathers nowadays, you're teaching your son to be a man and do things for himself. You don't baby him. Respect for that!

I wish I had my father teaching me and guiding me like you do your son. You're a good dad, keep it up.

JD is definitely your son, his sense of humor is a chip off the old block. You are teaching him right 👍😁

JD is a better wrench than some 20 yr olds I have seen.... Great job... loved this build...Go team dollar tree!!!

Loved this series.

I really enjoyed this series, could not get enough of it and painting a car seems a lot less intimidating after watching y'all paint JD's car.

Young feller is going to go places. (message to young feller) never stop learning, talent, information is the key of the realm!

Even more valuable than the 59 Ford is the knowledge and dad time JD has acquired

Nice compilation

i love these kind of videos. it’s how i found your channel from the holey goat build

I have not watched this video yet, but I hope it provides the same level of inappropriate standards that I love from this channel! You are a genius sir! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Best tag team duo on RU-vid 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👍🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

Really enjoy the videos with you and your son working together on cars. Nothing better than learning with your dad.

You and your son are an amazing team!

You have a awesome hot rod JD. I loved the way you listened to your Dad and your so willing to listen and do as your Dad tells you.

Great to see the compilation...and you are right...no project is ever truly finished!

Lots of win in this vid, even the random bug attack at the 37 min mark came out roses!.

Junkyard Digs sent me.. I digin it.. SUBSCRIBED !! Dad life.... There is NOTHING better!

Dad and son, excellent, God bless you boys! ! !

Fantastic video. You and your son did a fantastic job. Keep up the great work and I will keep on watching

very nice project, and wonderful memories you made with your son. I’m sure he will treasure this experience as long as he lives.

I enjoyed watching all your hard work , And having NO issues! always a good time . Thank You.

Great car, great boy, great dad.

I wish my Dad would have done a project like this with me. JD has a great Dad.

What a beautiful video. No matter how old your son gets, he'll always have the memory of building his first car with his father. GOD bless you for giving him a memory that will last a life time.

Great summary of the build - JD did a great job…I loved watching you two work together!

As far as I'm concerned that is a true father son build you're very lucky to be able to do this with your son continue the videos I just love what you do just a Down Home down to earth guy good luck

Awesome video! It's so cool that JD just gets right in there and gets working.

One of the best build series ever made! Period!

Sleeper dude and Ralphie, you and JD, vice grip Derek and Bentley, or Bradley, There is something so special about father and son time spent together.

Not gonna lie....when you brought that fresh paint into the sun I was smiling ear to ear

father and son working together & building memories 👍

You had fun doing this project and no one was seriously injured so I guess it was a success.

I’m so proud of you both. Especially JD. You’re a wonderful Dad. I wish i had a father to do things with like you’re doing with JD. I am so sad that the car series is done but extremely happy that the car is completed and you guys can enjoy, I would look for to JDs 1959 Ford video. I would love to see when it would pop up in notifications. I’m so proud of you both. Keep it up!! What JD has learned with you and how good his direction and listening skills are that boy will go very far. I’m so proud of you JD!! 15 year old with a 1959 Ford to a 12 year old with a 1959 Ford. 59 Ford fellas!!

Old school hotroding, Father and Son. Making it work! Best video I've seen in a while 👍

Thanks for the video it's great I remember when I was a teenager as long time ago my buddy's dad painted Bridges they had this bridge paint we painted it is72 Dodge van pretty Rusty we just scraped off the big stuff and spread Bridge paint on it two years later even driving in Winter their rust never came back that stuff was awesome my dad always used to say if it smells toxic it's good great day I remember in 1977 and bought a 67 Camaro327 4 speed with a posi it's $300 for those really were the good old days

Awesome having the whole journey in one video!

I loved this "recap video" 😉 Once again....Great job JD and Dalton! 💯 😎 😎 🎊 🎊 🎊 😎 😎

I really enjoy watching JD he reminds me of my oldest grandson Kevin when he was JDs age . He is definitely going to be a plus to the world. Keep the videos coming I look forward to seeing what you and JD are up to

Absolutely Nothing Better than a Old Car and Dad and Son or Grandfather and Grandson working together!

Watching this young man take apart his engine with what looked like his very own toolset put a darned smile on my face, keep up the good work you two!

How dare you teach your son a useful skill for life! Great to see you working with him.

Your wee man did a bloody good job of that car, you must be one proud dad

It's really cool to see dad's take time with their sons for a change, we need more of this in the world. Great job raising that boy and teaching him how to do stuff instead of calling the guy!

Awesome father and son build. Remember building my first car with my dad losts of swearing and throwning tools lol

"Dude, are you done yet?" 😆😆 I love JD's humor. You've taught him well. ❤️‍🩹💖

what a great video J.D. is going to be an awesome mechanic just like his daddy of coarse

JD Learns Fast, I Am Glad You Are Teaching Him The Trade, Hopefully He Will Continue Too Love It. Good Job To You Both😊

“Universal Grit Sandpaper” 😂🤣😂🤣👍. I like this guy!😉 That is a Fine-Looking 1959 Ford 9N tractor 2-door sedan, big block edition😁👌

Omg !! Absolutely loved this!!! If more dads and moms, sons and daughters did projects like this, the country would be a better place!!!!

well done this video will bring back memories when you both get older priceless father son time great attitude young man

What a good dad gets his son working on cars . Now JD will be a car guy for life .

I like how you do recap of project. Such a fun one with your son. Impressed by JD working solo and jumping in on things. I really enjoyed seeing both cars at Ford Fest.

Dalton, good to see your son learning important life skills.

Memories that last a lifetime. I am 60 years old and still remember my dad and I working together when I was young he is gone now but sometimes when I see things like this it makes me smile from the memory. Stay close and never forget these precious days they dont happen often and dont last long. 👍👍

I hope to do this with my daughter. Maybe not a old classic but something that she can call her own and show that she did the work and she deserves a nice car for her first vehicle and make some memories with her old man.

What a wonderful Dad and Son project and Adventure. Thank you Guys.

Wow, I am impressed to say the least. J.D. is going to go far in life . He doesn't just hear , he listens and takes instruction very well. That young man can learn to do anything and will do it well. Fantastic job Dad. You fellas should be super proud. The car is awesome !

I'll never forget the times I spent with my own father at his age. Very fond memories and what has made me the mechanic I am today. Ty dad.

I love this video! JD is lucky to have a Dad like you that takes the time to show and teach him all this stuff. Plus he's a natural you tubers! He'll have his own channel before you know it 👌

It was a crap show from the start and I loved every moment of the entire build. It reminds me of when I was 11 and my Dad teaching me stuff. I remember helping my Dad rebuild Ford 8n tractors and discs. Heating those big nuts off the discs and honing cylinders. If you are not a McGyver you wont last in this world. Self tappers are awesome! Left over hardener works too! 1,200 miles on the road shows what you can do! The most awesome thing is you have your son there and teaching him. I lost my Dad at 15 years old. Cancer got him but I learned so much. Dalton, keep it up! I'm 6 beers into a Friday night and watching this. I'm sending a "write-off" donation. What do you need? Gift card to O'reillys or working capital?

Something about a father son build. Keep being the dad that you are. Thanks for the above quality entertainment.

How freakin cool to grow up like this, #dad goals # father of the century

Grew up in Texas in the 70s/80s. Dad and I rebuilt a 62 Dodge D100 with the slant 6, when I was 12. Drove that thing EVERYWHERE. Learned how to drive in it. Then MY first car was a 72 Datsun 240z. We did a rebuild and restore on that car too. Mom got involved and reupholstered the seats. LIFETIME memories and skills learned.

J.D. isn't my kid but so proud of him just the same. This is the kind of thing my dad always told me we'd do but he never did. He was more interested in the 'idea' of being dad than the actual act of being so. Hats off to you too, J.D.'s dad. Hopefully the boy will pass this stuff on to his kids one day.

Good job JD !!! What a time with your son. Life time memories....

Was fun to watch all over again 🙂

I'm going to type something here that you already know. Every minute you and JD spend doing these projects together are priceless, worth more than a fleet of supercars. You make a great team. And I direct this to the younger man in the video, if you think I'm being silly, like I would have at 11 and 12 years of age, soon you will be a fine man, living the years as they roll by. They pick up speed as you go. I'm in my 50's, and my Dad, who I loved very much, passed away last year at the age of 84. To say that I miss him is quite the understatement. Cherish these days, you will look back on them with great fondness. I'm truly enjoying your channel!

Way to raise him right. Great video.

Dalton, I appreciate that you are giving your son a gift that he will cherish all of his life....your time. I think it's awesome that you spend the time to teach him skills that can be use later in life and keep our gearhead heritage alive, nice job.

JD has more confidence working on a car than I do. You're a heck of a teacher Dalton. Calm and constructive. Watching this build has been awesome!

JD will remember this experience for his entire life! I enjoyed watching the build. JD seems like a great young man, mature beyond his years!

What a Dad. I wish more parents were like you.

Oh this is gunna be cool!

This is something JD will remember long after you are gone. some of the best memories I have of growing up working in the garage with my dad. And like you nothing was impossible.

Enjoyed watching you and your son work together. You have a real buddy there, keep him enthused so the love of old cars doesn’t die.

This has got to be the absolutely best video on RU-vid this father son stuff just melts my heart why an amazing father son duo!!! My new favourites to watch on RU-vid I’m gonna go to the very beginning of your vid and binge watch them all!!!❤

You must be very proud of your son, JD must be very proud of you too. What a joy to watch this

Man, you are Dad #1 and JD is a son#1❤ great job people💪

Definitely rapidly my go to channel, loving the humour and father/son comradeship. Move over VGG.

Nice job with your Son, it sure turned out nice. 👍

man i love JDs enthusiasm for working on that. great job guys

Your son is cool man! Wish I had a boy like that. Nobody can say you didn’t raise him right. Reminds me of myself when I was his age except I was just tearing stuff up lol. I use to watch my dad and help him work on vehicles and now that he’s gone I’d do anything to work on something with him for just five minutes.

I watched all your videos with JD on this build. Thanks for the review!

It's so good to see a kid now days who loves old cars

Really glad JYD and Mook swung by and introduced me to your channel. Definitely entertaining and I plan on working my way through a lot of your content. Sure I will learn a few things along the way so thanks for that too.

I can say that you sir are the very epitome of what it means to be a great dad.

Gotta love seeing a father and son experience and learn stuff together.

In the middle of a tube self stuffed cig and the video comes to its conclusion. Thanks for the compilation Dal'un. That was a great ride. I wish for you and yours to have continmued success. May my subscription and support allow you to get a real lift so you won't be sliding dangerously under them cars with Harbor Frieght jack stands much longer. I'd buy merch if I wern't so broke. But I may find a sticker I can afford. I'll be proud to stick one on my 2003 Tundra I named 'Baked Alaska' as the clear coat has been baked off out here in the southwest's unrelenting heat. Oh the fond memories, when I was the last of three sons to be home as my two older brothers had left the nest and I finally got an opportunity to go to the paint shop with my dad where he worked as an spary finisher. My pop's paint bench had muti-colored layers of paint from cans of lacquer paint spilled on it in waterfall-esque layers at the edge of the bench that when chipped off gave me a unique piece of my dad's many months and at times years in a paticular paint shop. They were a piece of his life in my hands that I could hold and feel the hours of hard labor he did without complaint to feed and shelter his brood. I also found the heavy paint laden wheel protection covers gave me a sense of how much work dad had done in that shop. As you may know the loud banging that persists in a body shop sans ear protection can lead a hearind deficit. This led to my father having significant hearing loss over the 30 years he worked in that enviroment. My mom believed that my dad actually had 'selective' hearing capabilities. But if you were in the living room when my dad was watching TV with the volume up loud enough to be heard in the neighbor's house, you say otherwise. My father would be afflicted with prostate cancer and some would suggest a link to his cancer may have been the carcinogenic agents in the distillates found in the thinners and such he worked with and had absorbed through the epidermis and in his lungs. [please take no offense] Do be careful Dal'un especially with JD if you don't mind me suggesting a box of disposable gloves, where possible to be usedf, even if there is a cost involved, it would be worth it. Again a fine compilation as I've jumped around on this build and to have a sequential run through, I was able to see the whole thing, including bits I hadn't yet seen.

I had a good laugh when you started describing the factory welds and the employees building the cars. Years ago, I did the interior on my dad's 64 galaxie with him. That car being an XL car and has a lot of trim around the back window and the boarder of the headliner. The person on the driver's side either drilling the holes for the trim or using self-tappers or whatever, was way better than the guy on the passenger side when it came time to find those holes putting the trim back up. Same went for the rear window and package shelf trim. One guy sucked; the other guy sucked worse! ever seen a car of this vintage with perfect door, fender, hood or trunk gaps that someone hasn't taken the time to make perfect? me either!

Super cool, awesome job putting the car together, excellent adventure, and on the cheap side.

This channel is my new go to,your builds are awesome,down to earth, simple,and cheap.You and your family will achieve greatness!

Bet JD is happier the a 9 pecker tom cat !! Good job boys ! I wish i had that kinda relationship with my sun !! You guys keep jamming! Love it .

JD is the coolest kid in his school. To have an awesome car at his age that he built with his dad... man that kid is legendary!

Great father and son project! Very nice paint job! Looks great for tracteur paint! Love the tu tone! Car is in very good condition for 1959! Can't wait To see more vidéos on it in future! Take care!
