9:12 Look at that driver side door! That kind of rust does not happen from driving it in winter. That kind happens when you let a car sit out in the open, with the frame touching the ground, for 28 years. I would guess that that car was in very restorable condition on the day that it was first left out to pasture, even with the barn collapse damage. This is a crying shame! Kudos to you for salvaging it! I cannot blame you one bit for using it only as a parts car instead of restoring it.

So sad people leave these beautiful cars sit outside. I'm sure decades passed while someone said "someday I'll restore it" as the car rotted away. What a waste.

Industry was changing in the late 50s in favour of planned obscelescence. My 58 Chrysler, for example, was supplied with a cast iron crankshaft, but it has been replaced with a forged steel crank from a 1957 model.

Tony Soprano And in America we have this little invention called a winch. By the time you lift this rusting, rotting car that's sitting on its rotting frame rails in mud far enough in the air to put four tires on it, you could have done like these guys did and just winch it on.

Nick Jervis I'm sticking with it would have taken twice as long or longer to get this rust bucket lifted enough to get wheels on all four corners and those hubs have been sitting in dirt and mud for decades making that idea even more of a challenge when you can simply just winch it on. You should have liked his comment though. That's what he was really looking for.

you eventually need wheels on it, not saying put new ones, but just stick some on it to move it around once you get it where you are going. You do not want to have to break out the roll back every time you want to move it

Have seen worse and done worse Here in the UK a Jaguar series 1 XJ6 that came out in two halves once due to weather and rot lol , but well depends on how much would be left of the underside , if you don't mind me asking what was it like structurally? , If it was not good structurally then probably not worth saving as would be too much to do. Having looked at the chrome trim even that is knackered which I know would cost a small fortune to replate as for the body panels they could be very hard to repair or replace. All depends on how long it was sitting there , that and the weather I suppose. I mean from what I can see the doors are shot and the sills below that are shot , I just can not see much else. Is it me or is the suspension on the rear collapsed? Still keep up the cool videos and to me well worth watching and very interesting , I heard that most old cars got crushed due to the price of metal and hence why not many old classic cars exist. A good question I suppose is how many junk yards and car salvage yards actually exist in the USA today? , I know not long ago there were thousands.
