- Hey, this is Davin with Hagerty
and our redline rebuild updates
on our 1950, 5 window, Chevy pickup truck,
3,600 lumber wagon.
And,
hey, we've made a ton of progress.
You guys have been following along.
We are down to the little bitty scraps.
I got to put the hood on.
I need to do a final adjustment on the clutch.
I'm stuck on the bed
because I'm waiting for lumber for it, but what?
We're gonna see if we can break this out of the garage
and drive it around the building a handful of times
and quite frankly, put it to work.
So here we go.
(vacuum cleaner hoovers)
(clears throat)
(metal clunking)
I guess it just pushes to the back.
It should.
Guess she's tight.
You're gonna be like this.
(clears throat)
Shorter people, man.
Look at that.
Boom, boom.
Beautiful.
Lightings are on on the dash.
(metal clunking)
Should we try to adjust that clutch pedal too?
(background indistinct chatters)
Yeah.
I think we adjust that clutch pedal
before we throw the hood on.
The physical arm.
Oh, for one, it's not tight.
(bright beat music)
(Car engine starting)
(car engine revving)
Alright.
So I got out the back out of the garage.
That's man, a monumental task at this point,
got the hood on and had to make some adjustments
for that alignment up in the front
but we got it.
So it opens and closes now.
So that was stepping the right direction as well.
Made a little adjustment to the clutch.
And as you can see, it rolls backwards at least
on its own power.
Now I'm gonna take it for its maiden voyage
around the block.
The block here in our industrial area.
And test things out.
See how it goes and keep in mind,
this vehicle has not moved under its own power
in 20 to 30 years.
So this is huge.
Bringing it back to life.
(car engine whirring)
(bright beat music)
(car engine revving)
(car door opens)
Sweet. She runs.
It goes down the driveway nice and fine.
Now it'll be a little bit before we can get it
on the open road and really put her
to some riggers out on the open highway,
but it is time for this baby.
Get back to work.
(car door closes)
(metal clunking)
Like I said,
time for this old boy to work.
Moving.
