In a previous video, I bought this 1964 Jeep Wagoneer for $2, and got it running for under $6. At the end of that video, I set of the goal of making it roadworthy for $200. It did not go as planned...

I did a typo on the graphic for the Napa fuel pump number. The correct number is FUP B0116P for the fuel pump that worked. Sorry for any confusion!

    That whole contraption to cut that cap was hilarious and very creative!

    :) "Everybody knows I should clean this tank before even thinking about using it, so I'm going to use it as is anyway" :)

    99% of people saw a bunch of rusted metal. The fact that you take this as a challenge is one of the reasons I enjoy your videos.

    The four kinds of Low Buck Garage comments: 1) “I used to work on these in ‘84…” 2) “How does this channel have so few subscribers?” 3) “Here’s what that thing does, you can try it this way…” 4) “I wish you were my dad.”
  • You're one heck of a good mechanic, the way you think outside the box and solve problems is really something.

    It takes me back to my first car. It was a 48’ Willys Jeepster. Paid $5 for it in 63 or 64. Had no tires, totally trashed four banger, etc. I spent a total of $300 for used six cylinder, a JC Whitney ragtop, etc. Also many hours of life lessons. I love your channel! Thanks from this 76 year old
  • Ok, cutting the hole out of the center of the chrome hub cab, just might have been the coolest thing I've seen from someone working on a vehicle.

    We all have favorite channels and certain things always happen in mine. This channel has all those things: — I learn or see something(s) new I never knew before — I laugh out loud at least once, or I find myself grinning a lot — I look closer at something I've paused, or I stop to re-watch something again

    The concept of "passenger side taillight lenses are still manufactured but driver side ones are discontinued" is one of the most baffling things I've heard in my entire life

    I’m glad you’re still working on this project. This jeep was the reason I found your channel.
  • License plate is on a hinge so it can be flipped down when driving with the tailgate down for hauling long items. IH Scout II has the same feature.
  • I bet the parts store just loves this guy when he goes in and starts naming different vehicles and different years and parts that don't even fit certain vehicles and then he asks for four-wheel drive windshield wipers😂😂😂

    One of the best channels on YouTube. I laugh out loud way too much!

    You REALLY NEED to remove the engine oil pan and clean it out also. if a big chunk of sludge gets sucked into the oil pump strainer, it will clog, and the engine will NOT get any oil. then it will spin bearings, possible ruin the crankshaft, connecting rod(s) and or the engine block. I LOVE that old Jeep! it reminds me of my dads way back in the day. oh, one of the things i remember about that Jeep is 2nd gear would only last about 25,000 miles before it would go bad. we replaced 4 of them! they must have had a batch that did not get heat treated correctly. that, or there was an engineering problem. I know my dad knew how to drive manual transmissions, because in the 1930's when he learned how to drive, that is all there was. plus he drove large trucks for a living for about 10 years. I wish you the best with it. and I'm glad to see someone else that is not just a "parts replacer. you have a good set of skills!

    Your explanation at 6:30 about air flow is so simple yet id never have thought of it like that. Really smart
  • Find a gallon of paint at a garage sale for a dollar you'll be ready for the car show ❤

    50 minutes flew by like 5. I really like these episodes. I have 12 more videos left to watch, I'd like to see them all!
