We dig my father-in-law's high school hot rod out of his basement and get it running again. Watch as we surprise him by getting it running after it sat untouched for 30 years. Then, we take it another step further by getting it back on the road. We love this type of story on Hot Rod Hoarders because it proves that old cars are more than just metal--they're like family! Follow along as we revive this old hot rod and give it the attention it deserves.

Almost made me tear up seeing how hearing it fire up for the first time in decades made him feel, such an awesome gesture on your part man, you’re a good man. 👍🏻

Thank you for watching!

@USCG.Brennan 5 лет назад

It's great to see youngsters like you involved in keeping these old girls alive. Too many kids your age are into 4 door imports and think they've REALLY got something special, when in reality, they don't have a CLUE.......ARGH!!!

@USCG.Brennan 5 лет назад

I know the feeling. I started saving for my first car at the age of 13 with my paper route. At the age of 15 (1967) I found a running '55 Ford for $85.00, bought it and during the next year (until I was 16 and able to drive) I had time to dress it up with new metallic paint job, new interior and a set of chrome wheels. It was the nicest '55 Ford around and I got lots of compliments driving it around.

Scratch built hot rod survivor back on the road again, for the next gen to enjoy, what more could you ask for , thanks for sharing this.

@scotth6848 5 лет назад

This story made my day! Charles did the right thing by entrusting this important part of his life to you. You honored him and what was important in his life. I don't know you, but son, you are an old sole to understand the value of this car in his life. You didn't chop it up, or sell it once you got it running to make a quick buck, you did the right thing. My hat is off to you sir! Enjoy this car forever.

Great story, hats off too everyone that her back on the road

@mikebrooka9395 5 лет назад

PlyMaLinkCheFord... Well done! I understand the tears of joy. Sometimes I shed them when I crank up some of my barn cars and exercise them. I even have my Dad's old propane trucks... I love them all and every rattle and sound. Yes, each one of my old tractors, trucks, pickups, and cars; I know what they are doing before they do it. Drive straight as an arrow, like I drove it in its day. Take care from Oklahoma, Mike and Vee

@mikebrooka9395 5 лет назад

Curious, how many of can what I called the hot rod? To give you a hint, it was a straight axle Ford 1/2 ton with a Chevy motor, Buick 200R4, Dodge van locker rear, and said van's gas tank in the back of the bed. We called her the "MopaCheBuFord". She would pull the front up on the street. At a prepped track, we had to use welded up garbage dumpster wheels on the rear bumper. LoL, what we used to do with one man's junk.

@timculpepper4939 5 лет назад

the idea that he started this project on money he from a paper route is very cool, good job getting back together.

@MrLrry1266 5 лет назад

It is exactly what we used to build in the '60's and it's great you have done this not only for your self but the original builder. Very nice story and yes, you're a good man! Many more stories for that ol' pc a junk (kidding) to tell. Maybe your grand kids will surprise you with someday!

@richardshirey586 4 года назад

Finally a hot rod story with some substance. That was too cool.

@WildBill-kf2pc 5 лет назад

That’s a real Rod not one of those 400 Thousand trailer Queens that is never driven. You are a true HotRoder I no how your Father in Law felt. You are a hell of a man.

@aaronyoung8028 4 года назад

Well said! This build/story is awesome! I have given up watching the high dollar 'builds' - all they do is bolt together shinny parts, NO fabrication/thought/soul.

@frankclarke745 5 лет назад

Good job sharing the history of life and all the turns and little things that get tucked away for later. Sometimes there is a need of another hand to make it all happen. IF you ever want to work on a 58 Chev Brookwood wagon, please ket me know. Have one waiting, also a yeoman 2 dr. Very good job showing history. THANK YOU Charles for your service..

@tedledford4350 4 года назад

Can’t figure out who would give thumbs down rating for such a beautiful story and sweet old school gasser. This is how it was when I was growing up. One day and one part at a time. Great story behind a sweet car. I can imagine what it was like to drive that beast. I had a good laugh when you were talking about opening her up and trying to keep it together. That’s what it’s all about.

Great video, great story. You should be very proud of yourself and I know you are grateful for the opportunity that your father in law let you take over the keys to his dreams. You made him proud. You are a good man. And you will be blessed if you aren't already

I've never quite understood it, but you see it all the time on RU-vid. Some people are just assholes, to be blunt, and that's the truth of it.

@stringslinger5504 3 года назад

Out of all the stories you've done, it's the ones with personal meaning to you, and with family, that really connects with us....because that's what a hot rod is.....it's family.

@andrewhill7071 Год назад

What a wonderful story! Thank you for your big heart and loving history, as much as i do! The good old days were the best, God bless ya'll

@Bigskyguy56 4 года назад

Great story & rebirth of a Labor of Love for Charles. The last 2 mins of the video say it all. You are bringing your daughter up to appreciate cars, hot rods & all of the work & love put into them. Stay Real.

@johnbehneman1546 4 года назад

Great video!!!! Thanks for sharing!!! That is what hot rodding is all about. Making the most of those extra parts you have laying around the garage. That somehow makes your hot rod safer and faster. Then sharing your craftsmanship with your friends and family.

@edwardchascsa4191 5 лет назад

One of my favorite resurrected hot rods. Keeping it looking as correct as built got my attention. Most people have to change all kinds of things and ruin them, so I usually cruise right past so called barn finds. I really congratulate you for keeping it real.

@tednewcomb1048 3 года назад

Very very cool !!! the car, you, your father in law , your dad , and buddies - this is American hot rodding at it's core God bless America. !

@dirtywhiteboy40219 5 лет назад

Love the video. This is a perfect example of the level of attachment men (some women too!) can (and should) develop with a car. People that have no involvement with the hobby (lifestyle!) have no understanding that we develop a relationship with a machine. The machine becomes a friend, and a part of the family. When things don’t go right, ya feel like you’re letting it down. There is a REAL emotional attachment, shown perfectly in this video.

@stevececchele2880 4 года назад
