Wagon Week With Magnante: A Big Block Chrysler Town And Country Sounds Like The Perfect Mopar Family Truckster

Chad Reynolds — Thu, 28 Mar 2024 10:53:26 +0000

If you are a Mopar fan, and you think a fullsize wagon would be a great family machine, then this Chrysler Town and Country is just what the doctor ordered. Before the Town and Country was a minivan, it was a full-size wagon and a good one for sure. In fact, this wagon had some special features that some of you new truck folks think are a new invention. I’m talking about tailgates that work in multiple directions. That’s not new. They existed decades ago as evidence by the tailgate here that works in two directions.

Video Description:

It may have been thirsty for gas but this 440 big block powered Town & Country was the perfect machine for growing American families on the move. Watch and wonder as Steve examines it’s novel “dual action” tailgate.

The Make It Kustom 1931 Model A Ford Hot Rod Is Getting The Steering COLUMN, BOX, WHEEL & SHAFTS ALL INSTALLED

Chad Reynolds — Thu, 28 Mar 2024 10:10:15 +0000

The Make It Kustom Model A Ford project is one that regular fans of the channel will know very well. This thing has been used for all kinds of cool tech videos on metal shaping and so much more. We dig this project and think it will be awesome when done. In this video, Karl is going through the process of getting everything steering related in it. That’s fairly straight forward, but this car is ultra custom so that means you can’t just toss the parts at it and hope they install themselves. Watch.

New Junkyard Inventory: A Farm Fresh 1953 Chevy 1 1/2 ton flatbed truck! This One Is Solid and Straight!

Chad Reynolds — Thu, 28 Mar 2024 09:52:13 +0000

We’ve got more great junkyard inventory right here, and if you are a Chevy truck fan, then this one is for you. Chad at Nobody Elses Auto has a ton of great trucks in the yard, and if you are into these round body vintage Chevy and GMC trucks he’s got tons of projects and parts that will absolutely get you excited. We know, because we’ve been there several times and love going each and every time. This one here is ultra straight and solid and we dig it.

So check out this new truck and if you want it, or parts for some other project, hit up Chad at the number below.

Video Description:

This old Chevy is still in fairly decent shape. Considering what these old trucks went through back in the day, this truck managed to survive pretty well! It has some dings and dents here and there, but overall, this truck still looks good! This old truck performed her duties on a regular basis until and engine problem developed. The engine was torn down and repairs were in the works when the project was abandoned.

That’s how I found this one, literally put out to pasture until another day. This one just came in recently, so let’s go take a quick walk around this old Chevy!

If you like old cars, trucks, and automobilia, be sure to check out all of my other videos! Please subscribe so you can keep up with the new videos as I post them!

If you have questions about vehicles or parts, the only way to get a hold of me is to call me, 8 AM-8 PM CST, no texts, no e-mails, no messenger, no smoke signals, calls only.

If I don’t answer, I’m probably on the phone with someone else and if you don’t leave me a message, I just assume you’re another telemarketer trying to sell me an extended warranty! LOL!

If you comment, message, text, e-mail, etc., don’t expect me to find it and don’t expect an answer. Thanks for watching, Chad 620-786-4428

FINNEGAN BOUGHT A MINT 1998 GMC WITH ONLY 12,300 MILES ON IT AND DROVE IT HOME FROM TEXAS!

Chad Reynolds — Tue, 26 Mar 2024 10:39:00 +0000

Whenever I hear people talking about how hard it is to find C10s, Squarebodies, and OBS trucks, it makes me shake my head because they are out there and plentiful. You have to remember, GM built millions and millions of each of these generations of GM trucks. That means that there are still jillions of them available for sale at every single level. So while it seems unlikely to find one in the kind of shape that Finnegan has found here, they are out there. So what’s it like driving a completely stock 1998 OBS GMC pickup cross country in 2024? Probably the same as it was when it was new.

Let’s see.

Video Description:

Episode 289 of Mike Finnegan’s Garage is a banger! I’m introducing a new project, exploring a spooky warehouse full of cool equipment while trying not to get killed, and driving cross country in a 26 year old truck. This was all made possible by the good people at Bling Sauce and its Platinum line of automotive detailing products. Bling Sauce is so excited about this project that the first 500 viewers who click here and use the promo code “FREEMIKE” will receive a sample pack of Leather Sauce, Secret Sauce and Trim Sauce: https://blingsauce.com/collections/au…

Make It Kustom Is Trading A Widened 1973 GMC G35 For A Chopped 1949 Pontiac Torpedo Back. Wait, A What? Was It A Deal?

Chad Reynolds — Tue, 26 Mar 2024 10:07:28 +0000

Trading cars can be one of the most fun things, because when two people come together who are ready to get rid of a ride but who like what the other has it’s a pretty cool for both. I have a buddy who just traded a nearly finished t-bucket project for a 1957 Chevrolet that someone else was tired of. Win win for everyone. In this video here, Karl Fisher and his brother Benny are going to be trading a widened GMC van for a chopped 1949 Pontiac. The widened GMC van was totally intriguing to me, but the Pontiac is rad so I’m torn. Check it out and let us know if you would trade one way or the other.

Video Description:

This week on Make it Kustom UNLEASHED, I head out on a road trip to 150 Mile House alongside Justin and Benny. Benny’s online wheeling and dealing scored him a straight swap: his widened 1973 GMC G35 for a chopped 1949 Pontiac torpedo back. The stakes are high, and the anticipation palpable as we hope the deal is worth the long drive! But that’s not all—the journey doesn’t end there. On the way back, I stumble upon an another treasure: a baby flathead V8-60, adding another layer of excitement to our adventure.

When The Hemi Got Hurt, The Race Car Got Parked! But How Bad Was It Actually Hurt? Will the 41 Willys Project Live Again?

Chad Reynolds — Mon, 25 Mar 2024 10:04:57 +0000

This one is going to be fun, not only because it is a cool car that Dennis and Deb put together years ago, but also because when Dennis and Alex started tearing into it to find out what the problems had been with it years and years ago, it turned out to not be a big deal at all. I mean at all at all. So Alex gave her dad a bunch of crap for parking this thing and leaving it, and now he’s all fired up to get this thing back into racing shape. But what kind of changes do you think Dennis will make to it this time?

Video Description:

You guys say you want more videos and more projects – and we’re delivering! Welcome to the new section of the Riding with Alex Taylor Channel, where more episode with different content will come out. We’re pulling out forgotten projects, ones left to sit, and starting new ones. And we’re kicking it off with this 41 Willys Gasser with a 392 Blown Alcohol Hemi! This is the LAST Willys that Deb and Den every laid up out of their molds. It became a tribute car to the iconic Stone Woods and Cooks Willys of the past, got dad back into racing, and then it got parked after the Hemi kept giving fits. This is a good one, so buckle up!

REVIVING Dylan McCool’s 1969 Charger! How Bad Is This Thing Really? Floor Pans and Paint To The Rescue!

Chad Reynolds — Sat, 23 Mar 2024 12:10:57 +0000

I’ve recently seen some cars that seemed impossible to bring back to life end up being beautiful rides. With the amount of restoration parts available, you can build a lot of muscle cars from scratch nowadays, with zero factory parts. To be honest, it has made it so that cars that otherwise would have been considered a total loss can be brought back to life if the vin and firewall and title are good. Everything else can be cut off and replaced!

So when Dylan asks if his 1969 Charger can be brought back to life after sitting all these years, I say SURE! Check out the first video in the build.

Video Description:

THE TIME IS NOW! Can my 1969 Dodge Charger be brought back to life after sitting for years? We start back guns blazing with floor pans and paint! It’s just a matter of time before we make Hot Rod Power Tour and Holley MoParty! Think we can make it?

Better Than Ever: Newbern Is Trading Cars Again, Which Means He’s Got Another Tri-Five Coming, But He’s Already Owned It Once.

Chad Reynolds — Sat, 23 Mar 2024 11:55:45 +0000

You ever sell a car to someone and tell them that if they ever decide to get rid of it they should call you first? Or just get a call one day from someone who owns one of your old cars and is wanting to unload it? Well that is exactly what happened to Newbern recently as his buddy Wesley decided that the 1955 Chevrolet 2-door post car he’d gotten from Dave was going to be more work than he really wanted to do, so a trade was made. What’s funny is that they actually have to start putting this car together just to get one off the trailer. I say one, because there is a lot more coming back to Newbern than left with the car originally.

Video Description:

On this Episode my friend Wesley Keyes brings a load of 55 Chevys to Georgia. I traded him one of these 55’s a year ago and he decided to let it go and offered it to me first. I ended up trading him my 1992 GMC Top Kick for my 55, a parts car and some other parts he had been collecting. Since I bought the C50 I completely lost interest in the Top Kick. It doesn’t leave without a fight though. The battery was junk, cables were fried and the starter was dead.

Fords Make The Best Jeeps? What Is Dave Talking About? Fixing His Ford F-350 Problems So Its Ready For Jeeping!

Chad Reynolds — Tue, 19 Mar 2024 13:55:55 +0000

Last spring Dave broke his Jeep and it has NOT been fixed for this year’s Easter Jeep Safari. It isn’t like he can’t fix it, but since he’s been wheeling with, and working on, his fullsize rigs they are the ones he’s been keeping going. So to stay with that theme, he’s taking Mom’s Spaghetti, the 1991 Ford F-350 stepside to Moab for EJS. But not before it gets some love. Watch.

Video Description:

It’s time for Easter Jeep Safari again, and my Jeep is still broken from last year. Time to start preparing my 1991 Ford F-350 Mom’s Spaghetti for the trip to Moab Utah. I tackle some issues with the transmission, rear suspension, and even add a little Bling with a metalflake steering wheel.

If you are in Moab for EJS 2024 make sure to stop by the Bestop kickoff party March 25 in the parking lot behind the Food Truck circle downtown. Fred Williams and I will be down there hanging out.

Murder Nova Burnout Truck – Build Series Part 4: Fuel System Install On Our LS Swapped C10 And Making It All Fit!

Chad Reynolds — Tue, 19 Mar 2024 10:50:41 +0000

The Murder Nova Burnout Truck is getting closer and closer to done! It’s going to be pretty, have an LS for power, and with any luck will do insane burnouts at will. Check out the latest video in the series below and if you missed any of the previous videos, use the link below to check them out too.

It sure wasn’t pretty, but they got that part in the works and got some suspension under it, so now it is time to stuff some power into this beast. It’s time to build a burnout truck and that’s just what they are going to do. But not before some real work had to happen and part of that was getting this thing up in the air so they could start taking it apart and seeing what is going to need to be done to add some pretty back into the mix. With that sorted it is time to get cracking on some new parts going together and that means some cool stuff from QA1, and several other companies. In the case of the engine, they have chosen none other than Texas Speed and they’ve picked out something special to go under the hood.

Don’t worry, after that this thing is going to be getting all the go fast goodies it needs to successfully spin the tires at eleventy thousand miles per hour in pursuit of all the smoke and tire blowing applause. I mean what could possibly go wrong?

Watch.
