King Cobra Mustang OVERHAUL! Total Suspension Refresh, Gets Some Muscle! 

Dalton, you are the definition of old school. No hoist, cold garage, smoke dangling from your mouth and a barrel full of cuss words. Much respect, brother. Your motto should be "Quit your bitching and just gir 'er done". Love this channel and all of your adventures. Keep on wrenching!

Aside from the mechanical perfection of every job, it is the attention to the costume continuity between shots that underscores this channel's high commitment to quality.

It's amazing how one little power steering pump just snowballs into rebuilding a whole car LOL the struggle is real man. But I think most of us on here can relate. Good job as usual

Thank god for a PBG update, I was bored as hell now I’m very happy! 😂

Nice job Dalton. I know you are an "everyman's mechanic" but no member would fault you if you eventually had a lift installed. Could even put it outside due to height issues. This would make it easier for us to see your work. As always, totally enjoy your channel and glad I found you when you were just barely at 1K subscribers.

I found your channel through junk yard digs and i really enjoy your channel because i have to work on my vehicles just like this . Floor jack , jack stands and rolling around on the ground lol . My dad had us working on cars when i was a kid . He said this will save you money in the future . Man was he right . Its saved me thousands in labor . Keep the awesome videos coming .💪

You stated FACTS when removing that bolt from the front end. Been there myself, every tool out hacking and hammering. The realest car guy on this here tube. The good,the bad and the doin it. ❤

There's no better a feeling than getting into a project and realizing just how hard you cheated guaranteed death 😂 those leafs were MINT

Always good to see a guy doing things right so his better 3/4's is safe on the road. Even better that JD gets to learn to care for others as well. Good job Dalton!

This content is so far superior than the guys with all the toys and bullshit... realistic and relatable. Another GREAT video!!

The fact that you could still touch and see the leafspring when it was out was inspiring! There's always something left people, lol

Love it that the amount of carnage and mayhem increases by 100% when your brother arrived. Keep it up, great content!

Honestly PBG and JYD are the only reason I still watch RU-vid 😂 your a bloody legend , thrashing and cutting corners that can be cut like us regular guys that don't have a fully stocked shop and a million dollars !!

"You should always grind TOWARDS the gas tank" ah yes, my kinda people. annnnd subbed

Pole Barn engineering. The best kind of engineering there is. Well done on bringing the car back from the brink. A well-deserved survivor, for sure. It should serve Jesse very well. Neil :-)

After the amount of broken 🔩 bolts and burns to keep working on this car shows you got a lot of patience and you love what you do Dalton keep up the great work 👍🙂

Thank You Dalton! I was really looking forward to the Cobra content. The 302 Windsor will always have a soft spot in my heart, it was a relief to see that it was OK. I laughed out loud multiple times (some at your pain) during the rear spring replacement. What a giant PITA. Probably my wife's favorite expression of mine is "There is ALWAYS a way", so I get it Bud! Excellent episode!

Dalton, Top tip for that drill bit set. Lightly run a black sharpie across the top and the sizes will be much easier to see in future.

I knew that bolt was screwed as soon as I saw that cigarette come out!!!!! Lol!!

New Year, more PBG with Dalton, Jess, and JD. Can't think of a better way to start 2024! Hope you and the family had a great holiday season. Looking forward to more great content.

There's nothing like finding out you've been riding on hopes and dreams in those leaf springs

The burning bushing from your leaf spring looked about the same as the bushings on my Firebird's rear control arms after torching them. Lesson learned: Burning rubber hurts, wear gloves!

I love how he has a smoke after the bolt fight lol

Omg! You and Cody attempting to get the rear u-bolts and spring shackles out is just timeless hey that's hot it's smoking so let's touch it! Cody is the best can't wait for him to film some more content on his projects

Man, that was fun watching you guys refresh that Mustang II suspension. I LOVED my 1978 Mustang II King Cobra... mine was the 302 4 spd, bright red with t-tops - what a fun machine. I sold it in the spring of 1984 ... I hope the family I sold it to still has it. Keep up the great work!

How about doing a Monroe Handler tribute with that little 'stang. They were the coolest version of these.

Had a 77 Cobra 2, that car taught me a lot, from simple maintenance to rebuilding the original engine and building a 302 for it. Had plans to build a stroker 402 for it but life got in the way, that was 38 years ago

This is the greatest channel on RU-vid... you show what we have all been through! Keep up the great work!

When your partner Jess is driving a self improved king cobra on a day-to-day basis, that is F**king bad ass! Totally PBG style 👌 you guys in my humble opinion leave all other youtube car channels in the dust.🤟

That vehicle has an epic level of "rust preventive" on the crossmember. Impressive! Most Impressive!

Damn wholesome content! everyone was involved!

I love watching you work on cars. You have the same kind of luck with things going your way that I do lol

"Look at me being safe!" You looked so happily surprised.

Great job Dalton and crew! Jess’ safety is worth all the burns and Harbor Freight blades❤️ The King Cobra lives to see more of the road 👍🏻 Thanks for sharing🙂

It's cool that JD is getting hands on mechanic skills! Definitely professional mechanic skills the kind you don't learn from a trade school because they have to look professional

Peak chaotic dad energy in this video. This will bring me some comfort as I struggle through my future chaotic shadetree mechanic moments. Thank you Dalton. Never change.

Dude, a cutting torch could be a good friend. All midwestern/northeastern garages should have one.

Great work Dalton, and good to see Cody dropping in to assist, you're a good team. 👌

I appreciate the realistic content the average "Joe" can relate to.

"Ima kick it's ass right now." Immediate cut to cigarette. Sounds and looks right to me 🤣.

Make it into a little Boss 302 Cobra for her, she helps you so much with your channel, she deserves a real sweet Mustang.

Another great video on Jess' Mustang! Best 99 cents a month I could spend. Happy New Year PBG crew!

Happy new year to you jess and JD! She does love the cobra! Remember oil flying all over the underside is like free Shultz underseal

Glad you got the oil issue all fixed up on it and glad we get to see more on that car. I know it's not the most desirable car but it's a very realistic and obtainable car for the common folks.

If ever dealing with round tie rods, I find that using a pipe wrench is very convenient.

Great job, brother. You are a fast becoming my favorite RU-vid car guy. Love the fact you keep working on your cars making them run and drive better Your dad taught you right and now you're teaching JD God bless you guys and have a wonderful New Year.

This video was packed, must have taken a while to edit it down! Sometimes I wish you had a clock on the wall so we could get a glimpse of the hours you keep. You're a dynamo, not sure how you do it!

this video makes me so happy to live in the dirty south. I have never seen a leaf spring turn to shit from rust.

The nicest mustang 2 ive ever seen

Polestang? Maybe instead of a snake on the hood a polebarn? A snake in a polebarn?

Rub your dirty fingers over the numbers on that drill case. It’ll darken them up so you can almost see them.

You have the nicest Mustang 2 I've seen since I watched Star Man for the first time in about 1980. "Green Light means go, Red light means stop and Yellow light means go very fast!"

Reminds me of the time my buddy needed a vent wrench and so he grabbed a torch and bent a wrench. And then it broke and he lost his balance and pressed it into the back of his hand with all his weight while it was still glowing. Free craftsman tattoo is what he earned himself. Right across the back of the hand in all its 12mm glory.

The king cobra ROCKS…..this car rules….jess is one lucky chic!!……a fresh new white paintjob would do this lil car MAJOR justice!!!

1 Minute after public release. Fastest I've been in here. Have a safe and happy 2024!

Great camera quality on top of a fabulous video.

Dalton ; Master Mechanic, father, philosopher... 7:58 EDIT : I love that black leather interior and the 8-Track tape player with a cassette installed. So '70's ! ROCKS ! This was the Charlie's Angels car, too !!! Farrah Fawcett-Majors drove it weekly 😀

I’m going back and forth old to new videos. Funny how much more you edit these days. That steering rack lol

Thanks for giving some love to the Mustang II. I know they are not the most loved cars by most, but its my favorite car of all time. It was my 1st car when i was 16, and i still love them today 45 yurs later.

The Good Reverend Dalton absolutely kicking it into gear at 8:00. 😂

The devious laugh of success at 22:13 hit me right in the feels!

Love that the man talk / pep talk

Dalton says, "I am a mekanik!" While him and his brother are peeling pieces of the leaf spring apart...😂😂😂

Jess is a good addition to the channel she is funny as hell

12mm is super common in the moped world (they're all basically 100% metric; it's awesome)

That leaf spring reminds me of those goofy wafer cookies that are super thin layers - man that steel was FINISHED. Man..

I was in the automotive business over 35 years . one trick I learned from working at a few dealerships . the cardboard that was used to ship parts to the dealership were used as floor pads to keep the greese slime and crap that came of the cars . including all the brake cleaner and extra antifreeze that missed the bucket or pan . once covered or done with a dirty job . into the dumpster . some shops don't have cleaners that clean Your floor . so most mechanics use this method to contain the shit from having to clean up later . even old Amazon cardboard . another is getting a mirror like on the back of a bathroom door . about two feet wide and 5-6 feet tall and mount it so the wide part is horizontal and mount it on the wall of where your driving into . this will help center the car or see where your at on a driveon or side post lift ! Happy New Year to you and your family ! Always enjoy your videos and sometimes learn a few things along the way .God Bless

Great job Man! That car fought you tooth and nail the whole way, but you never gave up! Well done!

I love to see you paint that car for her I hope you have and I hope there's an episode where you're fixing it and getting it all pretty for her hope you got the interior looking great

Showing the pile of tools is so reminiscent of every job I wrench on. Thanks for the laugh and reminder that I’m not alone! PBG is every man’s workshop

Gotta make sure the lady is safe. Love the car.

My sister bought one of these her senior year of HS. She named it Farrah because it looked exactly like the one Farrah had, blue strips and everything. Wasn’t very fast but the cool factor was high and she drove that thing everywhere. When the engine finally seized after many years, she begged my dad to rebuild it but it wasn’t worth the cost. It sat in a field for 10 years then went off to the crusher.

Your struggle with those leaf springs, reminds me of when I did the body mounts on my bullnose f150. The Mexican and Brazilian kids next door learned alot of English that day

Great ep Dalton! Good to see Cody and the other brave men and women working on those springs etc.

There is nothing more humbling and a cause for humility to me than to watch such by the book and top mechanical pros tackling a job. You make it look too easy.

Nice to see the king of all cobras again!! Should ride and handle much better, nice job Dalton 👍. That power steering leak saved it from rusting, spray er dwn with super clean and pressure wash that bad boy! Rock on 🤘!!!

His pain made me laugh so hard. No pain no gain right? Love you D

8:03 giving fatherly man advice then cut to you with a cig....perfect

Hammer and fire and tooth and nail the mighty Dalton slays the Cobra in the end!!

6:52 you're right there, I can't remember the last time I used a 12mm socket other than hammering the ever loving crap out of it to fit a rounded off 13mm bolt head

At around the 20 minute mark of this video i thought, "about now is a good time for Dalton to buy (or sponsored) a good 2-poster hoist". The roof of your shop seems high enough? It would make life so much easier for you, if it is at all possible to do. Safer too. You must be proud of your apprentice JD, he seems like a natural wrencher, an old head on young shoulders. Keep up the great vids man.

Watching this makes me feel better about my own misadventures in my shop

this is my second sitting of Pole Barn Garage and i cant get enough

8:30 Nice motivational speech Dalton. I am pumped now.. I need to pull out every damn tool I own and start whoopin' on some metal!

Dalton, just had to giggle when you were doing the sway bar mounts. Brings back so many memories. Keep hacking aware, you’re a true warrior.

Dalton when you are working out of town you should look for a Lift for your garage. There are a lot of Mom and Pop Gas Station closed and Car repair shops with Lifts in them. See if You could score one of them sometimes they are free due to they want to clean up the property or sell the place. Good Luck hope You can find one it definitely would help you We are NOT getting any younger well you are nothing can stop you from working that's for sure.

I watched your restoration and build vid. Really glad I found your channel. Laughing my butt off at your comments. I remember when the Mustang II came out. Yeah, I'm that old. Looking forward to watching your vids. Learned a lot as well.

Dalton my man , NEVER stop doing your you tube channel . 1,ooo,ooo weekend mechanics would cry unmercifully for days . We love your channel brother.😎

I love ur videos because everything looks real and realistic. All the othwr channels make everything look easy.im glad u show how it really is working on cars.great videos as always man.u always show the hard work and the stubborn bolts and hardware we have to deal with when working on older cars. All the bolts and hardware is just like on ur videos. Nothing comes off easy and its always a fight lol

33:36 PBG School of Technology.....Axle centering 101

So on my 300 dollar 73 Mercury Cougar xr7 I got a drivetrain from a 91 Lincoln mark 7 for 300 bucks, and if I make enough money tonight on my paycheck I will go buy some headers and a high rise intake and possibly a good replacement starter from a guy on marketplace. Which isn’t bad because they are very nice and will help that 302 breathe.

“You are now part of the Hercules gang”😂😂. Your brother’s a hoot.

Where there's a will, there's a way. The holy goat looks like it should be in the next mad max movie. Good show Dalton.

LOL always a good video from yall. Hey Dalton I heard something in the engine when you fired it up before pulling it out of the pole barn, reason I mention this, so MAYBE something isnt happening that I went through. I bought a 1977 Ford F150 with a 302 that was a wholesale car ,from a Ford dealership my uncle worked at, he looked it over and other than the worse than Earl Scheib paint job, was a fairly decent truck, that the former owner had worked at the St Louis Mo Ford plant and had stuck a granny low 4 speed behind a 302 when the auto blew up, with the auto transmission rear end in it. The 302 ran really good, sounded like a Singer sewing machine running, a friends Dad had a place at the Lake Of The Ozarks, and needed some old doors and junk hauled down to a cabin he was building, so we get down there no problem, about half way back, I start hearing what sounded like lifter noise or a fuel pump spring broke, by the time I got back to Wright City Mo, it was getting louder, I pulled the left valve cover off, fired it up and on the 302 Ford of this era, they had a valve rotator cap on the end of the valve stem, that the rocker arm hit, that cap had split in half, and already beat the end of the valve and mushroomed it, I thought maybe I could get by just replacing the cap, Nope, had to pull the head and replace a valve, the REAL lucky part, the valve spring keeper had been wedged in by the split cap, and was paper thin, almost dropped the valve. Dad was helping me, I mentioned, I might as well pull the other valve cover to check it, well it isnt making noise I wouldnt bother , one week to the day, the lifter noise started on the other side, I took it off and another rotator cap had ate a hole in the top, luckily it didint mess the end of the valve up, a buddy had dropped a valve in his 302, and I got a whole baggie full of rotators and stuck in my glove box, I never had anymore trouble in over 150,000 mile out of it!! You might pull the valve cover off and check that tick it has so it dont drop a valve on Jessie!! Good video..

I love how your jack stand was just a floating suggestion

Good job glad you’re keeping tickle safe. And love the new wheel and tire combo . ❤

PTSD from my past wrenching misadventures was revived watching this episode! What an absolute thrash! Way to go Dalton!

For the louvers to stop/reduce rattling use a roll of "rubberized" (weather resistant) adhesive foam and put it on the glass at the edges where the louvers lay and make contact.

Had flashbacks during the steering rack removal of not holding the light quite right See you guys when I get back from therapy

Thanks
