I traded a snowmobile for this 1949 Pontiac project that was abandoned years ago, and it's got a stuck motor. We'll see if we can get the motor un seized and get the motor running.

01:50 Pushing Pontiac in the shop
08:01 First attempt to free the motor.
10:39 Day 2
12:28 Attempt two free the motor
19:43 lifting the car and looking at bottom side.
22:30 Attempt three
24:35 Pulling wheels off to look at brakes.
28:11 Attempt 4 to un stick the motor.
40:53 Assembling the motor
47:30 attempting to start the motor will it start?
56:54 wandering the yard to gather parts.
Geez, I jumped for joy when she finally started Brent! Way to go! I was surprised as to how quiet it actually was.
Unbelievable! She's a runner, can't beat those old flatheads, I can't get over how quickly it starts!!
Hands down, the best channel, the best works, the most likeable presenter. One man band doing magic with old cars. Love your videos!
nice project, it's a good looking car the '49er. The joy on your face when she fired up the first time was priceless. keep on truckin' Brent, keep safe
Love those midfifty 2 door fastbacks
I have heard them called several things, I remember about 50 years ago a guy called them a turtleback
‘Unthaws’ cracks me up! Isn’t that like ‘refreezes’? But hats off to the guy’s determination and attitude!
That loader or whatever you call it, is probably the best investment you ever made considering how much use it gets. Pretty handy tool for your needs.
This is the happiest I've ever seen you Brent (usually you're a laid back, reserved car genius). Had me smiling the whole through! Thanks!
really enjoyed watching you breath life back into this old poncho
Another great start. Thank you for sharing Brent.
I enjoy watching honest effort, not every project starts out as a easy success. I’m with you all the way whatever happens!
The old Pontiac never had a chance. Brent won't give up on her. Perseverance..... You got a lot of that. And it helps that you know more than the average.
I have been all weekend watching your 38 Pontiac build and I followed along on the general build. I love your content keep them coming.
That runs smooth for the age of the car. Amazing.
Glad you picked a warm day
The little things that make are day. Thanks for sharing.
I love your videos, you are so forgiving with these classic cars. You always have something good to say about them, regardless of the shape they are in.
Bravo Had a great time seeing you bringing it back to life. Thanks for sharing You both look happy Riding in the General
It's such a great feeling to win the battle with something rust stuck.
I don't know what happened to it but my parents bought a Pontiac Chieftain in the the early 50's. Looked just like the one you are working on. Great memories, thanks Arizona
Brent I love how happy and excited you get when an old motor fires up :) It puts a smile on my face too. I'm always amazed that they actually run 👍👍👍
Some ATF in the oil works wonders for cleaning and unsticking the lifters and cleaning out the oil pump and such.
Beautiful, beautiful car. Nice to see people willing to give ones in this condition some love.
What a look of love and devotion...great dawg
Thanks for taking the time to make such a cool video.I love it when the machines of yesteryear are brought back to life.
I think that was the fastest fire up I’ve ever seen from a stuck engine to running, love your surprised look when it first ran ,,you made it look easy
Behold: The master of percussive maintenance!
that is the kind of car that really needs to see the road again. thanks for initiating the first steps of it's revival!
tickle me loose buddy..... your amassing to watch fixing these old cars....Your stick to it is remarkable, and it pays off....I was shocked that it finally ran.....your the man...
I jumped up and cheered when that thing turned over! Awesome!
"Compression...I bypassed that disappointed right away ! " Good move. You are now my hero.
I look forward to seeing your videos
I love that sloping roof line down the back and the wide trim piece on the hood. Man, I think the body lines are cool as is don't even chop it. Your reaction when the pistons were popping up and down was "priceless "
THE MOST entertaining first start video ever!
Love your channel, all the content, music & your laid back attitude / approach to your projects, since stumbling on it about a month ago ! I had a '50 Pontiac 4 dr Streamliner many, many years ago, that my great aunt gave me. My dad had.a '49 2 dr sedan he bought new. I also restored a '38 Pontiac 2 dr fastback sedan back in 1975. So the old Tin Indians have a special place in my heart. Always look forward to & enjoy your videos ! Very well done ! Don't change a thing. Thanks for all your efforts & time to share with all of us. You're a Class Act ! Much enjoyed !
You are the stuck motor man, very very cool!
Sooo exciting coming along bringing this back to life!!!
Hey you have such a great program I love watching this it has kept me entertained since I started watching it thanks so much for your programming
It fired right up and I thought. Are you kidding me. But there it is. Great job Brent. Wow!
Puts a whole new meaning to working the bugs out! ✌️🇺🇸🇨🇦😁
Man about jumped out of my seat for joy when she kicked over and ran like a top..amazing. Was not expecting that!
I had that happen with a 48 plymouth 4 door sedan. Popped off and ran perfect. All I did was give it a total tune up. It sat for over 20 years.
It's that positive attitude that you/we have, that make problems more fun!! I love your work & channel!! Keep it going! I know this one's "old" but worth a watch!!
Enjoyed seeing that one start ....when I was small my Aunt used to visit with a 49 or 50 Pontiac ...got into a lot of trouble pushing the starter button with my Cousin in the driveway ....what a tank
I had such a good time yesterday watching, i watched it again today!!!
Brilliant and very lucky man Brent having such beautiful toys to play with ,you're living my dream brother!!!
I always loved seeing these old engines roar back to life.
My Dad had a '48 Pontiac Silver Streak, had a flathead 6 but a crack in #5 cylinder wall. He bought a running '54 Pontiac (last year for the flathead engine) with a straight-8 and pulled the motor. It was a bolt-in swap into the '49 and ran like a champ.
Love the music and your work on this antique..My Dad loved Pontiacs..
Brother, you're incredible 👨🔧👍👍
Love to see these old machines come back
That is such a kool car! Glad you brought the old girl back to life!!
Love this old Pontiac! Would love to own this one, best to you Brent! Great video!
Awesome start up she sounds great
I somehow knew that you'd get it running. I always worry, when someone sprays oil down the plug holes, that they're going to drop the little red tube down one of them lol.
I enjoyed the ol pontiac star up. So satisfying
This was very gratifying. Can’t believe you got it running.
Great video! So much to see and learn plus fun along the way! Such talent! Thanks for sharing
That was good you got it going pretty good now we just got to see her running on its own. 👍👍😀
I love the style of that car - so cool.
Optimism abounds; great project ..and parts cars , invaluable.. Love this Guy stuff. I never had a newer in Wyoming 1979 to 1990, drove these Old Buggers.
again an amazing video man....old school mecanics....like the early days......love it
Fun... So glad you are keeping this engine instead of swapping it out.
Holly cow! You are awesome! My bad on any of the negatives!! So impressed!
Golden Royalty Brent!!Love it.
Great blast from the past 👍
Well done !
Great stuff !! Love the longer video !! Thank you !! God bless you all !!!!!! Eddy
I had a ‘49 Olds with the “Big Six” flat head. Nice to see something comparable worked on👍 My Olds had an X frame and lever shocks. Your Pontiac must be a ‘50 because I believe that’s when the conversion from lever to tube shocks was.
Man, that's a beautiful piece of work. A darling.
The joys of wrenching in Canada -
Heard about your channel from dd speed shop and checked you out I'm subscribed im loving your channel quickly becoming my favorite channel I love how you use time elapsed footage so that we don't have to wait twenty years,to see the finished product I hate the guys who yap and yap about what their going to do showing you all the parts and telling you what their to do with them then the shows over nothing got done you rock it!
I Knew it would run. What a wonderful experience to discover a good engine under all those rumors. It's hard to beat the old 6. One of the best engine made. You couldn't hurt them.
Just stumbled on your channel from vice grip garage channel! Your fun to watch too. Great job! Ill be watching more! Thanks man for the fun! 👍🏽
Video did NOT drag! It was great. This one is screaming to have a good build series. 20K plus views already. No wonder, it's a 49 two door with a visor. Can't wait to see more of your magic. Thank you.
Can see the joy in your smile when it finally started.
Cool lull! My buddy Brian had one of those. What a handy unit. Especially in MN
thank you for your video young man!!!
Another great save!!
What a thrill when it started to spin. I did the same thing with a 30s something Hudson straight 8 many years ago.
Perseverance pays off 👍
My first recollection of a car was my dad's 1950 Pontiac. Then I ran across a picture of me as a toddler in 1955 with the Pontiac in the driveway. It was a straight 8, he had it until the mid 60s. Great old car, very reliable.
love the yard an outdoor museum full of TRESURES
the longer the better. this was a awesome episode and a cool old car I really like those swept back Pontiac's and Chevy
Great to see it go from stuck to running! I was half expecting you to run some sand paper between the valves and seats just to give them a little clean up.
Great job brother she's a keeper
This is so cool, thanks for this video have a good day Brent!
Nicely done. I had a thought of taking a piece of wood the size of the cylinder and tapping each one, but not too hard as the rings my break. Very nice to hear it running though. Thanks for sharing.
My dad had a 1950 Pontiac in high school and drove until he got married it was pretty Rusty and he scrap the car except the tail lights and put them on his 1954 pickup truck and he also kept the instrument cluster which we still have
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed it a lot. 👍
I loved watching this one. I have a 48 Chevy pickup with an engine that I used to be able to turn over by hand. It gives me some ideas. Thanks!
Wow impressive, still runs, nothing like old school build. From amazon, car hop trays, spring is here.
Love the Pontiacs. That looks a lot better than you would find around here.
Looking forward to this Pontiac Adventure. Can't wait
I can't wait to see what else you do with this oldie but goodie
How cool is that ! 49 Pontiac, and it's a runner ! I thought the motor was a goner, but you bought it back yo life. Thanks Brent. 👍😎🙏🕵🏾♂️🍺🎵🎸🚙👽🥂
Started watching your KZhead channel and i think it's awesome bringing these dinosaurs alive again, keep posting I'll keep watching awesome.
