Will It Run??? 1958 Chevrolet Biscayne sat for 35+ years Will it Run And Drive Or at least start?? 

Thanks Mortske for the Information and suggestions that's something I'll definitely have to try. I'll be moving the 58 Biscayne over to Buddies shop in the next month. I'll Have to pull it in the shop and give that a try. Haha that way I won't have to work outside in this -35 weather we have here in Alberta Canada right now lol.

Try also taping on the valves like mortske does . Be careful not to break them off like he does,lol.

@@larryoren5928 thanks Larry, I also give that a go too, I think you can hear a noticable difference in sound from ones that are free and stuck.

Mortske! Il bet duff coulda got er busted free

@@delpsdayoff3372 he does have good luck with 235s!

Nice, if you are any where near Alberta. I know where this is roughly about a dozen 4 door Biscaynes. Let me know I can get you the info on them.

​@@fullyloadedkustomsif they are in nearly the condition of that one, if I can figure out how to come up with the funds and they're still available, I might be interested in one of them, but I don't live near there.

@todddenio3200 I just seen a running and Driving registered on the 1958 Biscayne two tone black and gold for $9000 Canadian. Which is roughly $6,600 USD with the exchange rate

Oh nice that's awesome this 58 Biscayne is in such good shape. I would really like to be able to do this for my dad. To rebuild it restore it and drive it across Canada and give it to him for his birthday make for such a great video series. I really have to get this car in my shop again and see if I can do a part two to get that engine to run again

@@The-sn7no when I get the chance I definitely have to bring this 58 Biscayne inside the shop and get it up and running again and put it back on the road because it's in such great shape

@@The-sn7no thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated

Hey Gord thanks a lot for your comments and your suggestions. I seen the hollow sound hit with a hammer that you're talking about on vice grip garages page when he did an engine that was stuck. I've gotten a couple suggestions that says Coca-Cola does a good job as well same with the Diesel fuel. I'll have to try this method and see if I can get it unstuck. Moving over to a body shop in the next month or two and when it's not -35 LOL I'll be able to pull into the garage and hopefully get back working on it to see if I can get it fired up. Right on what part of Canada?

@@fullyloadedkustoms Hoey Saskatchewan

@@fullyloadedkustoms the Brut Coca Cola ATF and diesel fuel creates a chemical reaction which helps dissolve the rust

@@gordhammond7105 nice right on I'm just over in Alberta

@@gordhammond7105 oh perfect that's great to know. I'll be heading out to my buddies place and working out from his shop. He's got over 48 classic cars there I'm sure I'm definitely going to need to use this trick more than once lol.

Haha 100% I had a 64 Impala 4 door hardtop sport sedan and it didn't have power steering, after driving that, power steering definitely seems like a option every vehicle should have came with

@@fullyloadedkustoms I'm with ya. I've owned my '58 Impala since 2004 and drove it with manual steering until Dec 31, 2021, when I completed the installation of a 100% correct factory power steering system. Man, what an improvement! I agree - these cars need power steering. You'd be crazy not to order it. Not only does it make steering easier when the car isn't moving or hardly moving, but it tracks the car straight down the road and absorbs road shock through the steering wheel. The car still has manual brakes and I'm ok with that.

Thanks for your comment Bennie, Im hoping to make a trade for a 58 Delray I recently found just before Christmas. Oh yeah exactly I like the 4 door Biscaynes too those 58s have a such a nice look to them

Dustin My buddies got the Cuda out at his place, it's definitely going to make for a great build. I'm moving out there in next month to build cars and film RU-vid full time

Hey Thanks Torrey I appreciate the feedback that's a good idea I'll have to try that. Have you done that before on a vehicle, how did it work out??

Thanks Alan, I actually had Mortske comment on the video. I'm moving out to a new shop in the next month hopefully when it's no longer -40 out here LOL I'll bring the Biscayne into the shop and use Mortskes advice to see if I can get this thing turned over and running again

Thanks for your suggestion Mark, I'm moving to my buddies shop in the next few weeks. And hopefully when the Weather is warmer outside I'll be able to pull the Biscayne into the shop and use some of the suggestions in the comments to get this old Biscayne running again

Hey Thanks for the suggestion Jervis, that's something I'll have to try. Has that method worked for you before?

Thanks Ryan 👍 it's amazingly in really good shape, Just swap the roof with the other 58 Biscayne I've got. And it would be a really easy build to get back on the road. I have a feeling though this engine may look like the red 62 Belair you have I have to take the valve cover off and take a look.

Hey Slow Shed Garage welcome to the channel, And thanks for the suggestions much appreciated. I agree with what your saying. I believe that's going to give me the best chance to get this engine turning over. I'll have to get in my shop and get a plate made up for it.

Hey thanks Joseph and welcome to the channel. I'm hoping to be able to build this car for my Dad I think it would be a fun build.

I agree with you REMBRANTTUBE these cars were in amazing shape for being neglected for sure. Especially the black and white 58 Biscayne Biscayne. The body on this car is super straight and in really good shape. I also know where I can get a front clip for the pink one too for about $500 so it would be worth doing that too.

@@fullyloadedkustoms I WOULD JUST POUND THE DENTS OUTTA THE ROOF ON THE BLACK ONE SO YOU CAN SAVE THE PINK ONE TOO!

@@REMBRANTTUBE hey thanks for all your comments much appreciated 👍 yeah that's what I would do, I would pull the dents out and do the body work on it. And save the roof on the other 58 Biscayne because I do know where to get a Front clip for that one too

Oh, that's awesome. That would be such a cool gift for him to receive. I'm sure he would greatly appreciate that. I have come across a few 58 Biscaynes in this area. I'm pretty fortunate I live in a pretty dry climate so nothing gets rotted out. Alot of these old cars are still around. Hopefully you get the chance to pick one of those 58 biscayne's up for your brother that would be an awesome thing to do🙏

Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments greatly appreciated

@@fullyloadedkustoms getting one would literally put him in tears.

They are sweet rides, I'm gonna have to bring that 58 in the shop one day and get it running again and paint on it. Would Make one heck of a ride all done up

Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated

Thanks Jack I appreciate that information. I'll be moving out to my buddies shop on the next month,and he has a ton of muscle cars out there. I'll be using some of these suggestions in the comments section to get these running again 👍

What do you prefer? Videos filmed and edited in real time, or videos that are sped up? Thanks for your feedback Charles

I'll be heading to my buddies shop here in the next month or so hopefully when it's not -35 I'll pull this car back inside the shop take those valve covers off and take a look inside use some of the suggestions people have left in the comments and hopefully get this thing fired back up.

John It's been sitting now for about 3 months. I'll be moving out to my buddies shop in the next Month or so. Hopefully when it's not -35 outside lol. I'll pull the Biscayne into the shop and try some of the suggestions people have left in the comments and see if I can get the Biscayne fired back up

California would be the place to be right now. lol we have an extreme cold warning here at the moment and a tempature of -41c. I might end up restoring this car for my Dad if I do I'll probably pull the 235 and do the same as you did with a 350 SBC and a 700r4 combo.

I've tried some of the suggestions people have put in the comments section it's been sitting a little now, I'm heading to a new shop in the next month once I have the chance I'll put it into the new shop and see if I can get it fired up

Thanks William appreciate that, haha actually Mortske Replied in the comments yesterday and also gave me some suggestions. Yeah the rad was fully of crap, I cleaned that out with the shop vac, no problem, going take Mortskes advice when I can get the Biscayne back in the shop and try it again

Thanks for your suggestions Roger, I'll have to definitely check that out and I'll probably have to pull the head off it. I'm assuming after sitting for over 35 years it's probably rusted up pretty good. I'll be at the new shop hopefully within the next month and definitely give some of these suggestions in the comments section to try

@@fullyloadedkustoms you're welcome, I have fond memories of those cars,a family friend when I was a kid had a pretty green one and my best friends parents had a pink and white one.

@@rogercamp6071 oh nice that's awesome. I'm hoping to restore this one for my Dad he has always liked the looks of the cars from the 50s

Thanks Jesse, oh nice right on well if you need any 58 parts I know of easily a dozen 58 Biscayne/Belair/Delays in the Alberta area here. What part of Saskatchewan? An LT1 caprice chassis swap would make for a badass ride how far along are you in that project?

@@fullyloadedkustoms thanks, I'm in the Saskatoon area and the guy I bought the 58s from has a 58 impala with a mint body other than the roof being cut off. On my Biscayne I'm just setting the body on to where I'm going to build mounts but engine, frame and suspension are all done so I just have a lot of fab work to do.

@@jessesmithworkshop6365 oh nice yeah I'm about 5 hours from the Saskatoon area. Oh really is he selling parts off that Impala?? I'm assuming with the roof cut off it it's a parts car?

@@fullyloadedkustoms I was considering buying it but I'm really not sure how much he wants or what is realistic, it was originally a 348 car but the engine is long gone he says and he still has the roof but it was just crudely cut off definitely fixable tho

@@jessesmithworkshop6365 oh nice that sounds like the 58 is going to be a great project, I've got lots fab work to do to the 58 Impala too. Do you have a color picked out for your 58 Biscayne?

Thanks for the suggestion Guy, much appreciated. How many times have you used that trick?

Thanks Sammy, I'll be moving out to my buddies shop within the next month. Hopefully when it's not -35 haha I'll be able to pull the Biscayne into the shop and use some of the suggestions people left in the comments and see if I can get this car fired back up 👍

That's for the feedback, That's what I was thinking too, I'm assuming that the valves are probably going to be covered in rust.

Thanks, My buddy has a 1963 Chevrolet C10 I believe it has the 292 in it. It's out at his Dad's place and we have been talking about picking those vehicles up and bringing them back to his house to restore.

@@fullyloadedkustoms I remember my Grandpa purchased an old 49 Chevy pickup with a siezed 6 banger, he removed the engine disassembled and soaked in kerosene tub. Damn if it didn't free up.👍😁

@@unclebob7937 That's a good idea I'll have to try that. Thanks for the suggestion

Thanks Rich for letting me know. 1957 Chevy that'd be a beautiful car. How long have you had the 57 Chevy for? There's a 1957 Chevy it's a 150 2 door post that I'm hoping to pick up in the summertime out here it would be a beautiful car to restore

Hey Thanks Vanessa, yeah it's in really great shape considering it sat for almost 40 years. I don't care if it's a 4 door car or not is still a very good looking car. I'm thinking that I would like to restore this for my dad would be really cool and give him a car. Oh nice you are from Winnipeg that's right on not to far away at all.

What does your Delray need? Does it need more mechanical work or does it need more body work? What are your plans for it?

@@fullyloadedkustoms Ya, we're practically neighbors, ha ha.

@@fullyloadedkustoms It was retired in '71 in Selkirk, I bought it from the guy who bought it from the original owner and it sat in his yard for some time in East Selkirk. I bought it in '95. It has about 97 000 miles on it, still original paint. The original six had a chunk of the block broken because regular water was put into it. I dumped it, should have kept it but everyone said put a 350 in, so I did. I replaced the floor pans and braces and one rocker. But they have to be gone over and refitted. The body also needs to come off to do them properly. I also need to figure out how to get the newer engine to work with the original wiring, alternator etc. I know it's easy but never done it. It should really have a new harness anyway just to be safe. Needs the interior done but I used to do upholstery but have no sewing machine. I want to get all the frame rebuilt to like new and make the engine as reliable as possible. I would like to be able to do trips for a few hours at a time if possible. I'd like to leave the original paint alone even though it has some damage and rust along the bottom. I'd like to put in a six standard again or a big Pontiac six with more than one carb on it, give it some power but keep it looking like something taken care of from the late '60s. How it looked when it was retired basically. It's anniversary gold with light beige on the bottom. I'd like to use Cragger ss mags and thin whitewalls on it. Hope I didn't chat to long here.

Gracias por ver 👍🏻

Thanks for the suggestions, I have the transmission in park and neutral. Although I didn't check the started to see if it was still extended I'll have to double check that.

Thanks Matt, to be honest I don't know this. ,So thanks for that information greatly appreciate learning something new I'll keep that in mind when I do some more will it Run videos from the vehicle's at my buddies place

easy way to remember the firing order is 15 is to young 36 to old 24 is just right

@@ericdavid8477 lol never heard of that one lol

Friggin Mortske freaks!😂

Might have to give this shot Gary lol

Thanks for your suggestions PDrPhil, I had someone else mentioned to me about trying to pry on the fly wheel with a bar, I'm moving to my buddy shop in the next month or so so hopefully when it's not minus 35 I'll be able to get that car in the shop and try some of the suggestions that people left in the comments here and see if I can get that 58 Biscayne running again

@@fullyloadedkustoms My dad used to buy old cars & tractors when I was growing up... More than once I've seen him take a 5 lb hammer , a 2x4 & hit the top of the piston to break them loose. It works most of the time. But until you get the head off, you dont kno what you're dealing with.

That's what I was thinking too John, I'll hopefully be able to pull the Biscayne into the shop in the next month or so and use some of the suggestions people have left in the comments and try to get this 58 Biscayne running again. I think though at some point to pull the engine and so a rebuild would be the best option

Thanks I appreciate the suggestion, I'm moving over to another shop here in the next 2 months. And hopefully be able to pull the 58 Biscayne to the shop use some of the suggestions people have put in the comments and get this car fired back up again.

Hey Branden, I'm located near Edmonton Alberta what about yourself?, I'm moving my stuff out to my buddy's shop here in the next month or two hopefully when it's not ridiculously cold haha I'll be able to get this 58 Biscayne into the new shop and do a follow-up video to see if I can try some of these suggestions to get it running again.

If you move that Chevy over the border, it will fire right up!😁

Hey Donna thanks for your suggestions I'll look for this when I'm editing my newer video's. I'll be in a new shop in the next month or two and will be able to work consistently on vehicles.

Thanks Ronald for the suggestion, I I'm going to move this car over to the new shop here in the next month or so hopefully once it warms up and it's not -40 anymore lol I'll be able to get it inside the shop and use some of these suggestions to get it fired back up

Thanks for your suggestions Douglas, yeah anything is definitely worth a try it. It's great hearing all the different opinions on what others have tried some I would have never thought of. Coca Cola I definitely remember doing an experiment in school with how coke Eats Rust. It's definitely worth a shot. Who knows maybe I'll get lucky too.

My uncle was a mechanic back 60-70 years ago. I remember him telling me about putting coke into the cylinders. It’s the phosphoric acid in the coke that does it. There may be better methods today. Of course a rebuild wouldn’t hurt.

@@Discovery_Overland I'm moving shops in the next month or two. At the new shop I think I'll pull it into the garage and if I can't seem to get the engine to turn over, I'll probably end up pulling it and doing a rebuild or possibly put a different motor into it.

Yeah that, definitely doesn't sound good car doesn't need any more problems lol. thanks for your comment and letting me know much appreciated. I might end up pulling the 58 Biscayne into the shop at some point too and pulling the motor and rebuilding it.

Yeah I think once I'm finished up restoring my 58 Impala I'll probably list it for sale. Or it would be fun to build it for my Dad as it would be a fairly easy build and wouldn't take much body work to fix it up.

Yeah David I have to the generator to put on once I get the engine turning over by hand freely. so the belts are hooked up for the fan etc,

@@fullyloadedkustoms Add Marvel mystery oil to the cylinders..

@@davidhimeback9087 thanks 👍 I was watching some Vice Grip Garage the other day and I've seen him use that a few times too.

Thanks Matthew, yeah I was thinking about that, ideally I would like to be able to build this car for my Dad he likes the look of the cars from the 50s and 350 or 383 would be great to have.

I'm building it for my Dad, to him he doesn't care if it's a four door or two door just likes the look of Older vehicles from the 50s

I picked up the car Orginally as a parts car for my 58 Impala, but the Biscayne was in such good shape (other then the roof) so I decided not to strip any parts from it. It had the original engine and transmission in it, so I thought I would at least give it a try to see if I was able to get the engine freed up and running. But it's seized pretty good at the moment lol

If you're like me, it's more satisfying to get the original equipment up and running and keep it original.

@@mainstreetcamden yeah I'm thinking I'd like to build this 58 this Biscayne for my dad which would be cool. If I can get the original equipment up and running bonus 👍
