Congratulations, on the award. What you have here is something special, you and your dad bonding together, giving old cars new life, love it. Anyone can be a parts changer, but Y'all fix things right, repairing components, taking care at the same time. Keeping it original! Your channel is relaxing to me, I am 66 years old and those old cars bring back memories, and need to be preserved. Great Job.

Congratulations on the100k subscription to your channel. As someone with very little mechanical ability I'm amazed how you and your Dad can fix these old vehicles. I think that 60 Impala along with the 59 are two of most beautiful automobile designs ever. Thank you for doing the 60 Impala videos. You must have gotten so much satisfaction bringing that car back to life and making the road trip. Good luck in the future to you and your family.

I've done this same type of repair on old clunkers my whole life. First because I was too poor to pay for a good car and too poor to pay a mechanic. Back then, in the 60s-70s there wasn't a youtube to watch 'how to' videos. I had to trial and error almost everything. I can still remember the extreme frustration after the errors. And the thrill of victory after the successes. I can't do much anymore so I live vicariously through your videos. Great job.

Nice job my dude. One of my Car club buddies and I did the samething basically over Memorial day weekend. We drove from Northwest Arizona to Miami Oklahoma (one the Oklahoma Missouri Border) to get the 74 Thunderbird that his wife drove in High School in the late 80's without her knowing. We didn't drive it back or anything, we throw it on my trailer and just hauled it back. The sheer smile and excitment on her face was worth the 2 and a half day trip. She had been hounding her for several years to find her a car to take to cars and coffee's and local shows so he was like why not get HER car and rebuild it for her so he called up her cousin who she gave the car to to drive in high school when he joined the Air Force and told him his plan and he just said "Come and get it" so we did. took us another 2 days to get it running and go through the brakes and all that.

This is the first car I remember my dad having, even down to the color. I remember the lights above the heater controls at night, that noise the washers make, hot choc set on the indentations of the open glove box at the drive-in, the way the chrome door levers were so cool. Stock carpet and radio still, what a find..

Well Done my boy !! a great achievement and very much deserved i reckon. Am a fan for sure. Back in '75 my Dad and I (15 years old) put in a smaller petrol tank in the trunk of a 60's impala with two way valve to switch out to main tank with power paraffin as we called it in Zimbabwe where i was born. Fire her up on gas , when warm switch over to power paraffin and just before reaching back home change her back onto gas. economical and cheap. A great ride. Good luck to you and Rick keep em coming

Love seeing you and your wife, both around half my age, appreciating the mid-century grandeur of a car like this. I was born in 1970 and I'm realizing I'm just the FIRST generation to regret not seeing these cars as new. Also really appreciated your inclusion of some road stops. Even with all of today's disagreements, it's a great country, isn't it? Keep up the great work. New subscriber.

Make your own floor pans! It's actually pretty easy and wayy cheaper than buying precut floor pans. Just get some sheet metal thats similar in thickness to the floor pans and cut it to shape. You can either weld them in or just use panel bond and body filler to make it just as sturdy as the factory floor. I recently rebuilt the whole drivers floorpan of a toyota matrix i got for free.

I’ve worked on a few old radios and when they sit a long time the dirty parts stick. Get a can of tuner cleaner it will have a straw like carb cleaner. Pull the knobs off the radio and squirt the tuner cleaner in the stems that move in the part where the knobs are at while moving the knobs back and fourth very fast and that will clean the sound .

I think Chevy stylists designed a good looking car in 1960. You did a good job in getting it home. That car brings back some good memories, owing to the fact that Dad had one in black, with a 283 powerglide back in the 1960's.Congrats on 100 K.
