Hi guys! Thanks for tuning in! This week we're going to keep going on the 1960 Chevy Impala I bought from Tom a couple of years ago... I have a Chevy Biscayne sedan for a donor, and it is time to see if we can save the Impala by grafting it to the bottom of the solid Biscayne! I did a 1960 Plymouth Fury a few years ago, so it'll be a similar job, overall... This week we'll finish stripping out the Impala and lift the top of the body off... First: We'll fire up the old Citroen Traction Avant and finish installing the hoist! Thanks everyone who ordered a 1937 Chevy T-shirt; they're being printed now and I'll let everyone know when they are on the way! Hope you enjoyed the 8mm clips! I am filming more on the 8mm camera and I'll include the footage as soon as I get it developed... Special thanks to Steve Dean and Niagara Film Labs in Toronto.

Hi Scott I've been watching your channel since well before the Fury splice. I live down in Calgary and I'm going to be in Edmonton next week. I have for you some atlas tire advertising inserts that date back to the 1960's that i'd like to give to you. Is there any chace of a meet up. If so How can I make that happen. I'll riding up on my 1977 Honda goldwing with custom sidecar. would you be ok If I stopped by and dropped them off. If this can work I'll bring them with me.
After he repaired Dean's push button transmission on the Edsel, I was crazy impressed but pull starting the front wheel like an outboard.....Outstanding!
Whether restoring rodding or ratting there’s always that adrenaline shot when you find that part or accessoriy, especially when it’s half the price of a new one. The thrill of the hunt is a great part of this hobby
Works excellent. Can confirm. Only thing that worked better in terms of sudden friendships was buying a VW transporter bus in the early student years ....
I have crap in my eyes just from watching Scott cutting. Ash driving the chassis out was priceless. Laura's old cabin project is fantastic. Thank you all!
I was 14 when my uncle had enough logs to build his cabin.. They were cut from his property & air dried for 2 years... He hired me for the summer to help him build it ... It is one of my best memories growing up.. By summers end it was nearly complete . Each room was made of a different species of wood & it was (still is) beautiful... It has been featured in a few magazines that focus on log homes & my uncle made sure they mentioned me in the articles ... Love to see Laura's when its finished.. The Impala is coming along...exciting to watch.
Just love your channel. The camaraderie and work ethic you share with your friends is such a wonderful thing to behold - and that you get to enjoy the hobby together just makes your bond so much more special. Have to say Francine "Frankers" holds a special place in my heart, my spouse loves her too! 😀
Just made a road trip with a friend for an old car, and he mentioned a '60 fury build...of course, it was this channel. I told him about the '60 Chevy.
It's great to have friends that are willing to help out with projects. And donate parts to help with projects. Cheers to everyone. Impala Splice is looking good so far. Looking forward to seeing more car adventures. ❤️✌️👍😎
The look on Dan's face over the fender trim pieces was the highlight of the episode Scott. Thanks for packing so much into an hour and a quarter. Best Wishes to everyone at Cold War Motors, their Families and Friends.
I'll bet at least 85% of the subscribers to this channel can relate to Scott's words "Isn't this a great hobby" while he was doing all of that "nasty" work ???
Whoa! Thanks so much vettekid! That is so generous of you to pitch in so much to help keep the old show on the road here... All the very best as always from me and the Menace dog and all of the Agents!
What I like is the optimism of the colors from the fifties. The tropical blues Bright reds and yellows just reek happiness and optimism. Too bad the rust proofing and quality of assembly didn't match the colors!
Thank you Chad, for the chrome pieces.That blank spot just draws the eyes.Steven's 'pull start' was amazing. Ash,Miles, and Dean really stepped up to raise the roof.Nice of Andy to be there for the lift too.What a job that was.Always good to see Boss Tom stop by to teach proper elocution for describing the work needed. 'Dean's Greasy Flips' soon ehh? Laura's giant 'Lincoln Log' set almost looks fun to assemble.Almost...Cheers Everyone!
It's sure getting interesting now! Can't wait to see it actually welded on. Thank you so much in showing Laura's cabin build. That is really interesting and fun to see. Love her sense of humor. Thanks for such great content.
I just gotta say, I love watching you guys work on these cars. I watched the 60 Plymouth multi splice videos and was in awe at the finished work of art. I am a busy 66 yr old grandpa these days and I will have to watch this in segments. Can't wait to see the finished Biscala!
Great episode and a fantastic project! You've got a great group of helpers. Cheers and all the best from the shed.... I'm with you in spirit! (which is about as much help as I would be if I was actually there) :D
Congratulations on the lift Scott. That's a great tool You will get a load of work out of. All these years of doing things with out are a credit to Your commitment to these pieces of rolling art. I know Your body will appreciate this. 😉👌
Was I the only one watching Scott and Myles crouching under the Renault on their knees and yelling “raise the hoist!” at the screen?😂😅I’m sure you’ll love it. I miss having access to a hoist. Laura’s cabin project is epic.
I am looking forward to the day you start tidying up the Traction Avant. Because of you I am starting to acquire a fondness for quirky French cars. When I was a kid Renault Dauphines were all over the place. Just like VW Beetles. But now you never see one anymore.
I also can't wait for the "TA" tidying up. As an American, I don't think that I ever seen one on the road. But I think the first one that I ever saw was on a Combat! rerun and thought what a beauty.
My granpops and I were close when he was alive and that 63 is exactly what he drove! You made this old man cry when I saw your 63 Chevy. So many memories.
I've never appreciated the "Old Monster" until this episode. I really felt a sense of its presence. It must be amazing to live with! My imagination is just not sufficient. Congratulations on the hoist--I am stoked for you guys, and cheer to the "Old Monster" nice to seem him awoken from his reverie to once again serve his purpose. A good old age. Scott doesn't have a junk yard or a car collection, he runs a dignified old age home. I feel like that explains the magic of Cold War Motors!
Frankers under the Biscayne roof! I say that becomes her permanent outdoor shade area/ shelter!! Her name could be above it and the dome light could work for nighttime if she's out!
I just acquired a black diecast 1958 Edsel in honor of Dean's fine machine. I also have a diecast '52 Nash Ambassador. I know have two 1/18 scale Traction Avants. I have no room for the real ones so the models have to do. And they require far less maintenance than the two real vintage cars I own.
Stephen had a great idea there. It ain't stupid if it works! My wife was watching with me and she said the grinder & saw noise on the Impala counteracted her tinnitus and helped her relax. Who knew metal work could be so therapeutic?
Hi Scott and Agents. I never would have guessed the Traction Advante was front wheel drive. I've never seen the Pakistani starting method performed so flawlessly. Stephen! The joy on Dan's face he showed us when talking about the 63 Chevy. Thank you Chad, and the old car gods. The Summer Splice project moves ahead. Tell Myles I know a great therapist, she's from Sweden. Oh yes, Laura's Guillotine might come in handy in the future, so don't piss her off to bad. Thanks for keeping my Saturdays real.
World's sketchiest forklift. But either you have a lot of unshared footage or it always does what you need it to do. An action packed episode, so much great progress on several fronts.
Opening scene was epic. Had a good laugh seeing the bottom of the car leaving without the top. Lots of hard work and planning to make that scene. Congratulations agents.
Wow! That lift is going to be an amazing addition to the plantation. The forklift paid its way once more. Can't wait to see the video of it going to Kyle's for a makeover. Congrats to Laura and her hubby for the progress so far. Impressive work by John. Oh.. please tell Ash to not drink and drive. I mean.. look what he did to that car! Tore it apart. Wow. Well, Scott.. you really didn't disappoint with this episode (not that you usually do). Fantastic. Cheers to you, Frankers, the agents and of course to the foreman and Honey Bunny too.
If I had not watched the Fury splice I would be wondering where the Impala is👍 headed. I know that somewhere down the road I will be coming back to this video and shaking my head in disbelief.
You guys are nuts. Best darn channel on YT hands down. I'll be watching for the next 4 years now to see this car finished. ( like I wouldn't anyhow) cheers guys
My 67 Sports Fury was T-Boned by a Pepsi truck two years ago. That is my list car. Thanks for the update on the log cabin. Beautiful property! 👍💯 for Dean’s Greasy Flips. I know of no one who deserves a hoist more than you guys. I say “you guys” because this is one tight bunch of friends. 🍻
