426 Dart Swinger Takes On 440 Satellite - Nick Drops The Hammer

hey you're sure that's real clean man yeah that's because I don't do the engines you do [Music] [Music] okay I'll get the VIN sticker you get the speaker's nick is in a good mood this morning it might be because he has a SHOP full of classic cars to work on and the sun is shining but it may also be because he has a few minutes today to work on his vanishing point challenger three at all are t70 r/t 440 4 speed project kawaski IFRIC remember where I have it here it is March 1970 okay let's go put this on and of course when a car is sold into Canada when I was brought over to customs this was attached to the vehicle let me see if I can find it now while Nick is digging around for stickers in his office he has some great guys taking care of business in the shop like Joel who's changing the tires on this beautiful 51 Chevy sedan you don't find many mechanics these days who get to work on cars older than their fathers doing five fire City on 19 I don't know what year it is but it's pretty good [Music] these things are so cool the age and era of these things how they were built them is beyond my knowledge when despair is actually the same size as all four other wheels you should extinct it up honestly let's say a lot of headaches and they still hold up pretty well regarding nose a tube in one of them I was pretty special last time I did that I would have to hit it was in a rally car [Music] back in the day they will have different kind of threading just going that way I think this way now once they call it radio is it supporting with the radius and it's I think these tires American classic should do the exact same job as the other ones being crusher rubber and keeping the old same white wall design I think I have to find a bigger valve main thing about these cars is the latest cars do not have the same diameter I can go for a regular tire valve these are a lot more bigger than the older ones and the newer ones see well now we went with a bigger one they have a tube inside of it very retro fit and we carry in stock [Music] I thought I'd come and tired of Pirani anyways here we got a 51 Chevy deluxe it's one of my regular clients and you all here this morning replaces four tires with four classics with the original wide wall tires that's the way it was in the 50s anyways that's unique touch aged well yeah beautiful car isn't it right you can see summertime is back here finally and we're now in our customers are gonna enjoy driving it I love these old cars look at all the chrome on it God piece after piece after piece it doesn't ever end and I've got there this 1970 Dodge Dart swinger we just finished installing his 426 stroker engine which we might take it for a drive later on I'll show you guys how it does then I've got the Cobra which is ready the headers are installed the alternator is installed the power is still installed and it's ready for delivery then I've got a 1980 turbo Trans Am it came in last night new customer never met him before it's got a 4.9 to bold 301 engine with a turbo that came in with a power steering issue so we had the parts to me pressures replaced and it's ready to go [Music] then last night this other car came in 1955 Chrysler New Yorker this is a unique car check all this chrome out it's in a very very desired car here it is is this unique or what take a look inside this was called the 50s you guys 1950s that is their horn the rim for the horn is busted so he got me another one it's right there on the floor which I want to replace later on but in the meantime let me show you the engine everybody knows a Chrysler of firepower heymy engines what size engine is it I'm not sure on this one but there it is I'm working on to something similar right now and it is like a silver color on the block look at that Joe should come and see this look at that what a car just came in for a gauge problem power steering problem and of course a fuel leak we just got in last night so I'm going to take a look at it next week and we'll do some repairs from there on and look at its massive horns mean by auto light look at this Wow check this out these weren't suemungousaur what it and they make a big 90-degree turn but trumpet you look like trumpets I guess there's a high note low note I'm not sure sure and this is a 55 and for some reason it seems to have a 6 volt battery and a 12 volt battery I don't know why but like I said just got in last night then we'll check it out and it's a beautiful original Holmes times wow this is something 1955 one year before I was born so let's take a look on the interior and this what are you showing me yesterday take a look at this okay look at this time watch this hurry that you're at close by itself this is unique look even at this distance oh goodness look at that it's that beautiful look it's locked sure to do it again here we go again there it is Wow you don't get that today question New Yorker unrestored look at this this is all genuine this is all genuine seat covers carpet headliner Sun visors dash pad and of course all the chrome and gauges on the dashboard itself and what I love about these old clocks you know like today's cars sometimes you got this digital clocks in the car when the sun is shining right on the radio or with the clock you can't read him but these clocks these old-school clocks always work they night sunlight whatever he could always see what time it is and I got all gauges oil pressure temperature gauge at meter speedometer 120 miles an hour and this car is showing 39,000 miles on and this is a broken rib here as you can see here so my customer located another one which I want to replace that next week because he wants to get his horn to work and they're gonna stop early this customer at the car before never washed this car with a wet hose I decided for so many years your previous owner and you're gonna even the mirror it's not even fit it away look at it look it is this is nice this is nice and look at this a para - 1955 I never knew that one before there's no pork in this transmission you got to put the shifter in neutral like so you see there's reverse neutral drive low gear then again you put the car in neutral and you put the handbrake and that is your pork Wow well the chrome inside the car and it feels like a solid car let me tell you you get six people here to sit comfortable no problem no bucket seats no armrests and you notice no seatbelts power steering yes there's another issue you came in because he says the car is equipped with power brakes but it has no brakes you got a press real hard so that's another item on the list I got a repair for a customer like I said before every client comes in with one item saying like he said that he had a few lis he comes in with the car last night tells me Nick this is I called you for a few leak and here it is then he added fuel gauge yeah the you added the rim for the horn for a steering noisy power brakes are very hard to press and of course fuel gauge and here we go and once the car comes into the shop this gets a lot larger than with the customer ones because they come in they asked me to do one item and then they give me a list for a mere two there anyways I'll do my best to get it done look at there's no cracks in this term well you know what that means this card did not sit in the sunlight look at that this is a genuine steering wheel that's what I've missed with the car when it sits in the sunlight it gets damaged by that of course this customer at it before preserved it pretty well let me tell you did a good job kept it away from rain water humidity the Sun you name it and for that reason the car as good as new it looks like brand new after all these years here's another unique item on this car there it is spoke wheels and I believe they're not restored or any just the way they came from the factory it's like pitting on the cover but it doesn't matter it's all genuine and here they are isn't that beautiful [Music] there you guys have it 1955 question new yorker with a hemi engine chrysler firepower i love these old cars talk about unique having character there it is look at that these old cars in the 50s so much chrome will always have a beautiful ornament on the hood but the thing is don't get hit this thing will really stab you Wow just don't get in their way on the road look at all the detail they they have character [Music] I got a couple of bikes outside you want to see them they're both Harley Davidsons but really something I've never seen before check out our beautiful bike so

from the US military green just like your bike it is beautiful I love it just love it not only do we get unique cars here we also get unique bikes [Music] Skelton guys caps hey then how do you guys keep your bike's wheels shinier so much you must use a lot of q-tip to clean all the corners hey I mean really look at somebody's sharp corners in there it's not like your car look at that for example like this here look cool sprees in the front suspension look at that my god a lot of work on these bikes let me tell you and no holiday I presume there nowadays typical Harley Davidson how's the idle

is putting in some speakers Nick wants to install the stickers he was hunting for earlier I am putting my VIN on my door and then we're gonna put our Canadian customs decal on it that's legally or official a Canadian car this car was all brand new in Ontario and of course it's in Canada and for that reason we're putting this on [Music] you know when they're in fact you put this on they put them on crooked here there anywhere you want it depending on the es on the staff on the net would shift a shift might shift now we attach this Canadian sticker which is kind of the customs because it's a Canadian sold car shipped to Canada and every car I went through Transport Canada or sort of say can any customs this stick was attached to a vehicle that was brought into Canada and because this car was sold to Ontario it belongs to this car built in USA sold in Canada and here we are so I put it like this and here we are and now it's an officially Canadian car which always was anyways here it is nice I like to put all the little touches in it I've had them for like 20 25 years day these Canadian stickers I got them from someone from a terror that reproduces them for this do it exactly they look like so my job is to put it back the way it was from the factory and of course from Canadian customs I installed my dash pad I stalled by here - friend nice I also installed my cluster okay and now the only thing left I got is to install my radio here controls my cables for the heater box the wiring for the heater box and of course my vent cables ashtray cut off box and of course my Stern column later on so in the meantime by the time I get the radio in I'll do the rest and then we'll take it from there sounds good Nick alright have anything that we're waiting on as far as parts right here in the front just a radio alright it's an instructor's coming in original radio for at this car okay I've got the interior on order and then next thing I'm ready to install this via Sun visors and the rear view mirror that's the next thing and I've got the seat boats getting done by Ivan so he's gonna bring him in next week also color colour black just like the interior perfect it's coming it's coming along excellent [Music] I've got a client here which also buddy Minds his name is Neil he owns this 1970 340 dart swinger this past winter we build them a 426 stroker from a 360 block they'll lay that is the only engine I took it for right yesterday but I want to do another drive today and show you guys what it does and he's got these every since he's put on these Mickey Thompson Street tires he has a hard time spinning them so after we build up the stroker with a lot of he's got like a believable 520 torque I told you gonna spin the tires very easily here let me just warm it up a bit [Music] Karnas equipment gear vendors with the overdrive but that doesn't matter you've got highway speed with this thing with the gear vendors but there with this kind of torque we don't need any kind of gears so the highway girls are going to just perfect and our bottom line is to say spindle stars and here we go and of course we got a radical cam in this mortar of course this guy doesn't have enough factor we have I believe 12 inches of vacuum on this one we're 13 borderline and you got a press real hard to get this thing to stop but I mean in the meantime we're thinking of going to or hydraboost but at the moment let me just show you guys what's this engine can do you all watch the phone okay I'm just gonna warm up just warm up the man you left I didn't see him okay
