I bought a car I couldn’t drive, it wouldn’t run until I fixed this car I couldn’t drive, now it bends to my will. I stalled her engine 7 times, yes this is true you see. Now I drive her smooth as silk, with gears marked one through three. Your gearbox comments, true enough, fall on my deaf ears For petty comments such as yours, don’t even grind my gears. Toodaloo😘✌️
Your comment was so inspirational! Kudos for triggering the creativity in Staller here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--eQhF3OTYCs.html
That laugh was the laugh of a young boy learning to drive stick for the first time. Brings back memories of my dad teaching me to drive stick, now i drive one everyday. It’s only been 5 years since I’ve learned and it gets easier every time you drive it
My first car is a 1940 Plymouth 4 door sedan my father gave it to me for my 16th birthday, we were restoring it until he passed now it's me & my children restoring it in his honor your video gives me hope.
I would have waited to teach yoyr son to drive a stick until after the rebuilt engine had some break-in miles on it, and then only in a vacant parking-lot. Old Mayflowers dont get enough love. Kudos for all your work getting it back on the road !
Just started on a 1950 Desoto Deluxe. I'm pretty sure it's the same engine as yours. You're actually the reason I decided to finally make a channel covering the process.
Awesome, im glad to see you save it. She needs lots of love, but wil l be worth it. Glad to see your dad giving you some crap. Cant wait to see her done.
Too bad Dad forgot to tell you to push in the clutch pedal when you come to a stop!! 😆 You are such a fast learner, you would have sailed around your hood with no problem!! Fabulous video! Can’t wait for the cat to have a floor and a muffler👍😘
Thanks for the great video, and a nice job, on the engine. 1958 mom had a 1946 4/door special sedan, and it was the first car I drove, with my learner's permit at 14 1/2. These cars, are yet, one of my favorite.
I had to stop watching ... that is so painful! I'll be chuckling over your first experience with a clutch for the rest of the day. Great work you're doing!
You crack me up. In high school drivers ed, we had an old chevy three-speed stick, I believe I stalled that out about 30 times before we got 100 feet. You brought back fond memories.....Thanks
At least you have your Dad there to be part of the ceremonial unveiling of this lovely old sedan. I stalled my 61' Ford E-100 Econoline a whole heck of alot of time's before I figured out just how much gas to give that in-line six 300. You did fine considering the hinge on the gas pedal was rotted clean off. Great job my friend.
I love it! you made it to 2021 never learning how to drive standard and you start on a 1948 Plymouth. Great job with the car rebuild so far. I can always tell a fellow fireman with the little firetruck in the garage for the kids.
My favorite part of the entire series is that you didn't know how to drive stick the whole time. I love that, because it shows us that you don't need to have prior knowledge to be good at something like restoring a 70 year old engine. Idk if it's just me but that fact compounded with how amazing of a job you did on the restore is seriously inspirational. Thank you for sharing this with the world. 10/10 would watch you punch out freeze plugs again
I really enjoyed this video and the engine rebuild videos. I am now 28 the first car I ever drove was a 31 model a and I was probably 12 my grandad was yelling at me the whole time and I couldn't see over the dash lol. Keep making great videos
this engine,in average conditiion, is capable to start the car from a dead stop very easily in second speed and if you're handy with the clutch, you can even start in 3rd speed so your engine needs fine tuning. that car is a very good base for a nice resto project and the occasion to learn a lot of skills. good luck
The engine is cold. Rev it up a bit, before you engage clutch/gas release. Fun times. Only don't like the colour, and it sounds like an old prop airplane starting. Perfect sounds for headphone wearers. Congratulations on getting it out of garage by it's own power. Look forward to more videos. Love from Scotland 5* :D
Hahaha I'm gonna be the same way with the Power Wagon. I have practiced a little on my friends manual car but I'm gonna need my dad to show me the ropes. Great video!
great work both on the build and on the videos! I hope you don't live to regret not painting the block, especially since you spent so much effort cleaning...
Thata is awesame. When you get to a stop sign, just pust the cluch! And you can stop nicely. Also when you try to leave just add a little more gas, slipp the cluch, slowely release it, but I think you got that part down. :)
Thanks for the assist. I'm Dave's Dad. I felt like I failed him, allowing him to get well into adulthood without learning to drive stick (lord knows I tried). Felt like I failed him again when I neglected to tell him to push in the clutch at a stop sign. He built the entire drive train. I figured the fact that it was effectively direct drive with the clutch released would be obvious enough. However, he's spent his entire driving life until now holding the brake at a stop sigh or stoplight, and never had a problem. Thanks for your comment.
Once I drove with manual transmissions, I never went back to the automatic, they are the most beautiful and pure, they will not give you their confidence at first but as you spend time with them, they know you and you know them and that is when you feel a connection, real and true, it's like becoming the engine and feel the oil warm you, every crack in the road, the fuel flowing and know, how loud the car wants you to roar
Dude your videos are awesome!!!!!!!!! 3 days ago I bought a 1948 Plymouth 2 door and your videos are the best my man!!!!!! So great to see you fix that car definitely subscribed
Ooooh my God... I have to subcribe this Channel. Your feeling for first driving on Stick was like me on Drivers school 19 Years ago... And now im driving Automatic Van only at work and on private my Convertible with 6 Gear Stick. Oh i love Shifting on curvy Roads...
I'm completely proud of you for tackling an engine and transmission rebuild (I watched parts 1 & 2) but equally proud that you allowed us to watch as you learned to drive a stick shift. Thanks for including that footage. Excellent job on the rebuild.
I have watched your post from when you stripped the engine down. Alover, I think that you have done an amazing job. I say that because you are not a mechanic. Good on you. I have been in similar situations all of my working life. I trained as a ships engineer. I trained in Germany and got my masters degree there too. Some of the techniques and tools you used made me cringe, but you did what you considered the best way and utilized what you had. Over all it runs and you drove it. Congratulations. My name is Laurajane and I used to be chief engineer on a VLCC (large oil tanker).I have retired now and I am sixty-eight years old,so well done you 👏 👍. Kind regards from Laurajane in Taupo New Zealand
Felicitaciones por tu trabajo ¡¡¡. Has elegido para reparar un coche muy noble. Verte trabajar en el me hizo recordar un trabajo similar que hice hace muchos años ya con un Peugeot 403 . Has demostrado como con un poco de paciencia y muchas horas de trabajo se puede revivir un auto que básicamente ya no debería existir. Espero ver más de este auto y tus otros trabajos .desde ya que me subscribire a tu canal . Te saluda cordialmente un argentino desde España.
Sorry bro! Had to belly laugh along with your dad! Ironically I learned how to use a clutch with my ‘47! In about 1972! At least I had a longer driveway to practice in first, thanks for the ride along.👍
You can always push the clutch down when she wants to stall. More gas and a bit off slip never hurt no one while learning. Youll get the hang of it. Just think how the clutch works. Nice stuff. Hell yeah. Good stuff.
Congratulations looking forward to see more videos. keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. keep making. Keep restoratioing God Bless.
I learned to drive my dads car when I was 15 years old, was a 3 on the tree with a clutch, that was 1962.. Legally I could only drive on UK roads when I was 17, had my first car, 3 on a tree and a clutch. I have had automatic gear box cars but not for long... I am 72 now, and been driving my automatic gear box landrover for 18 months and now hate stick shift cars - lol.. So much easier to let the car do all the work eh - Thanks for your video -- Ian..UK.
Dude this is awesome I watched the whole build of the motor and to drive it never driving a standard before and have your dad there was priceless… Love it man East Texas here supporting the build
