Austin's back and gets some more work done on his Buick!
In this video Austin's back out working on his Buick. First we do a little engine work and progress to getting his engine to fire up for the first time. We then move on the to the rear and get him to pull the rear diff and we mock up a universal 4 link and install a 4x4 S10 diff.

Austin is a very lucky young man to have you as his grandfather. Thanks for keeping another old car on the road.
Ah-ha! I always wondered how they were related! lol
Watching you have a small segment of moving things around the shop seemed great as to the old shop! It gives you much more freedom and comfort to work. You helping and teach two young men says a lot about you to help in their future! "Great"
Really glad to see you and Austin working together that way.
Good to see Austin working on his car. Your an awesome grandfather. Keep up the great work Brent 😊
Enjoy the slippery slope known as the car hobby Austin! Sweet ride!😎
Amen! Lol
Dg
Top man, Brent, with a heart of gold and a font of knowledge to boot. My favourite channel on YT by far. 😊
I like that you are teaching your grandsons how to work on cars.
In 79 I bought a 66 Chevelle my Dad helped me do a tune up and time it. One of my fondest memories. These are the times Austin will never forget.
This is so cool Brent, Austin is learning so much more than he realizes. Your videos always bring a smile. Say hi to Esther for me.
I'm really glad for Austin that he has such an amazing opportunity. A great learning experience and not just about vehicles.
Really cool watching you and Austin working together. Austin will be the envy of his school mates with that car. Take care and wish you all the best. 👍👍
I can't imagine how I would have felt if at Austin's age I could have had and driven a car like that.... I think I would have walked three feet off the floor! Beautiful! I'm happy that the work is progressing! 👍👍👍👍👍
This video is rated “GS GD” (Grandson & Granddad). Contains intense heartwarming moments along with life lasting memories. Good on you Brent.
High Five Brent, you are teaching your grandsons how to problem solve, create ,and make things work. Those days with gramp's in the garage will always be rememberd. Nice Work
Austin’s 1955 Buick. Is alive. Congratulations on the start. Brent, the care you have taken on this project is wonderful. I know he’s stoked. God Bless. ✝️💯👍👊
What a great car.The 50's was a fantastic era for cars.
That forklift has become a excellent aid in the shop. You're makin great progress with Austin's Buick. And we'll catch you on the next on Brent. cheers
Well hello sir I did not realize that young man was your grandson only thing I can say for sure sir that you are a blessed man you have all the equipment big garage Machinery to do all your heavy lifting I am encouraged about watching your mechanic shows might as well calling mechanic shows that shows the viewers me on top of that the mechanic work I found out Austin was your grandson by reading the comments keep up the good work there sir God bless you and your grandson Austin all your family j u a n . c. F u e n t e s. Sr. All the way from Joplin Missouri
It's so awesome that you're willing to show your grandkids how to do all of this stuff. I hope they know how lucky they are. Not all Grandpa's do that. Plus the time you get to spend with each other is priceless 👌
The old Buick growled a bit. It is always wonderful to see a generational span working together.grandfather to grandson.
Love seeing the old Buick coming back to life and teaching your knowledge to the younger generation as they are the future of the hot rodding/classic car movement. Can't wait to see it drive.
That’s so cool that you can work and help your grandsons like you do
Austin is a handsome young man... He will always remember hangin with grandpa building the Buick.. Some of my best memories was working with my dad on old cars, trucks & tractors.. He's 85 & his eyes are bad ... But he'd still be up for some shop work if I asked him. Lol
Thanks to you and Austin for sharing that cool moment between grandfather and grandson!!!! How awesome 👌
Brent your Shop looks Amazing ! You’ve got things in Great Shape! Let the good times roll! 🔥🚗📹❤️💯
I’m a car guy with 3 young kids who are all starting to show basic Interest in cars ! Way to keep the car hobby alive
I like when your green arrow is lit up! ↪️😬
Wish I had a grandfather that loved doing things with me,, you are a lucky boy
That gonna be one sweet ride! Wish I had something like that at his age… Heck I’d like to have it at my age! 🤪
I really like the way the Buick is sitting.
Austin is going to have one serious lead sled! Got to love the 50's.
It sure is nice to see the young man that Austin is turning into
Austin is sooo lucky....my I never knew my grandparents..... And I love old cars...never had anyone to hand me down anything Never had anyone to teach me how to drive either.... Hope he appreciates this time
Man, that was good to hear the old girl fire up, Brent. As you say, she's one step (well, a couple now) closer to being able to move under her own power again......and I bet Austin can't wait! Speaking of the young fella - he's certainly getting more confident with the tools and around the workshop in general.....and that's great to see. It's a lot to learn with a steep curve on the learning process, but if he can walk (drive?) away with the rudiments and a basic know-how of what makes the car do what it does and keeps up the interest factor, he'll have a lifetime hobby that will keep him entertained until he's older than either you or me.....and it will always be something that he can enjoy the fruits of all his hard work as well. Keep going, Austin. You're doing fine, buddy - no matter what you may think of your efforts right now. Practice and experience will give you the speed and knowledge that Brent has....and I'm sure the "old fella" would be happy to offer advice if you are ever stuck. Just relax, go with the flow and never be scared to ask questions or put forward ideas. Brent will be able to tell you if they are possible or explain why they aren't and maybe you can come up with something else together. The Buick will be one mean cruiser when she's finished and that engine sounds strong.....so be glad there's a diff out of a 4x4 going into the beast, buddy! All the best.
The look on Austin's face when it started says it all. He's very lucky to have you as a mentor. Look forward to seeing more on the old Buick. Be safe and stay well.
It's good to see a young man interested in old cars! Who needs video games when you cab build cool stuff like his Buick. Looking forward to seeing as well as your custom truck on the road!
Good to see Austin and Ryder gaining more confidence in themselves learning to use tools and equipment well help them all there life's mechanical minded and common sense are great valued assets
the look on Austin"s face when the motor fired uo is priceless
Brent you are a amazing grandfather. I am so proud to have the privilege to watch your videos. Blessings and best wishes to you and family. Austin is a great young man.
It's great u spend shop time with both your grandchildren..keep making memories
Nice work, with both the car and that young man. It's great seeing another young man get into the hobby. Austin seems to really want to learn, that's getting to be a rare thing now days.
Austin has a cool Buick that is starting to come together. I loved seeing her come back to life.
I would have killed to work on my grandfather's Buick with him before he got sick. I love all your videos, but seeing you teach the grandkids is awesome!
That Buick is a thing of beauty.
It's a mental check list every time. Good to see y'all working together. Ronnie.
You are so great working with Austin and Ryder! Passing what you know down to them, and showing them how we sow into the generation coming up.
This car is going to be nice Austin is learning a lot life skills he is so lucky to have somebody that will teach him you are totally awesome I enjoy watching everything you build
Brent, it is good that u are teaching Austin how to work on cars. His Buick will look good when finished. Cool Pablo taken a Boot at the end..
Brent, you're a very jovial person and it makes your video so much fun to watch ! And you're a great grandpa. Have a beautiful week. Namaste🙏
Good to see Austin gaining knowledge, getting his car closer to running, and more comfortable with the camera.
I remember being the kid with an old car and having an experienced gearhead helping me put it together. Looking back now, I appreciate the patience you have in showing him how to do this stuff. I was just like him, not knowing what I was doing, but I can see how I could have been better at anticipating the next step to help the job go smoothly. Kudos to you for passing it on to the younger generation. He may not realize it yet but he's getting a valuable education and will appreciate it as time goes by.
That was a moment of inspiration when Austin felt tdc for the timing his face said it all, since he started on the buick he seems to have grown the leg length to fit the seating position. Great project
Ahhh! Great Piano Bar Music! Thank you.
Been watching ya on the big screen lately so maybe not commented as much cuz it sucks to type on my little wireless keyboard, lol... switching over to watch this one now QUICK!
Been doing the same, find it impossible to comment on TV screen
Hey Hi again Halfass Costoms Brent and Ester, Austin great job on Buick you're going to be on the Road🎉👍🤩✌️
Awesome seeing you and Austin bringing the old Buick back to life. Gotta teach wrenching on your own rig to youngsters so this craft doesn't die out. My favorite youtube channel. Thanks Brent!
He's going to have a beauty of a motor when this is finished💚🇬🇧🌱 Very jealous 👌
Austin car is getting closer! Enjoy watching and listening to you Brent!
I hope Austin appreciates all the help you give him with that car. I really like seeing you work in your new garage it's really working out for you. The nice lifts and the smooth floor so you can roll cars around easy. Wish I had one like that.
Not only did the song end just as you were done moving the diffs. The piano struck the final low note exactly as the garage door hit the floor. Your band is amazing.
Very cool car, not many young guys would choose a 4 door. Austin is a man of few words 😄 Great you are having the opportunity to teach him, he will never forget these days.
I think the new shop is Trent’s times more efficient to work in than the old one. 👍👍🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🤘🏻🤘🏻
I sure hope those grandkids know how lucky they are to have a grandpa to hang out and help them with their old cars. My grand parents On both sides where gone by the time I was six.
That little lift is irreplaceable now isn’t it. What a year eh!!’😎👍
Good work, Austin....you have a runner!! Brent,those lift tables and fork lift are proving invaluable.Mint😎👍
Your warmth and humanity shine out. Keep up the good work!
Well... Cool. Looks like Austin is getting knowledge on a little bit of everything. Kudos to you for teaching him. Car is coming along nice.
That pile of rust that Austin swept from beneath the Buick is far smaller than the multiple piles of rust I’ve swept from beneath a vintage VW Beetle - those cars shed rust like a dog sheds his winter fur coat in the spring. Ah the joys of working on unibody cars. Pablo ~ Careful Austin, don’t sweep up any of my dawg treats.🥶🇨🇦🤪
Good to see y’all, happy Saturday
Good one sir Brent you do have room in this shop.Great to see Austin back at the Buick and she runs cool Hope you get the diff in there with what to have .Well done guy's thank you for sharing
Nice to see Austin getting his car in the shop and fixing it up Brent!
Its always exciting when you do a first start especially on your first car!
It's priceless to work with and teach grandkids!
Couldn’t think of a better way to teach a grandson some life skills. Y’all make a good team. 👍
I remember well , my dad owned a 58 Buick 2dr Hardtop, SMOOTHEST ride I ever had
Yup, Austin is getting oppurtunitues that not many his age (or mine) get. Hands on 4 bar fabrication. Cool! And nice that engine fired!
It’s nice that you and Austin can work on his car together, what a learning experience for him and a great bonding time for the both of you. And you made some great progress on the car, first time firing it up and the better diff and setup for the back, great job the two of you. Later
Great progress on the Buick and in Austin's future! The shop is now back in it's comfort zone as if it's always been there. Quite a transformation in a very short time! Looks like you're back in the saddle again! Congrats, Cheers and all the Best!
I like the idea of converting it to a 2-door. A couple of ways to do that. Move the B pillar back and find a couple of doors from a 2-door donor car or lengthen the existing doors with material from the back doors. You know both ways. Fun and semi-easy project for you both. It will improve the look of the car...especially for a guy Austin's age who will drive it to school.
2 doors and a set of mini tubs. No wheel spacers needed than.
Totally unnecessary and just more work, it looks all original now.
First video Austin appeared in vs today's video = Austin is growing up.
I’m happy you built such a nice shop for yourself 😊 I have enjoyed your channel for a long time. Thanks for the entertainment and the knowledge you share.
Glad for the update Fun with Family when you make work look like fun.
Great to see you and Austin getting the engine fired up Your teaching Austin, puts him many steps of the average student, because you are giving him the one skill that most younger people don't get a chance to learn, and that is that any part, from any other vehicle, can be made to work like the car was designed for that setup.
wow you must like your new fork toy ,AWSOME
Forklift in the shop for the WIN!
Coming along nicely!
Austin is going to have one of the coolest hot rods in the school. I'm rooting for him all the way
Excellent video Brent :) , Austin :) worked together on his Buick car and nice job guys also super 👌 👍!
keep it up Brent , great way to keep the young generation at foot, learning to be car smart and exercising their muscles and brain building their own big toys ... 👍🏼✔
Can't wait to see what you will do to that t-bird--Great classic !!!!
Hi Brent, just a suggestion if I may. I used a bottle like yours for years to squirt gas into the carb. They'll stay running awhile longer if you squirt into the carb's vent tube to fill the fuel bowl. Oh wait, It looks like you already knew that. Lol! Great video with Austin!😎❤👍
This is coming along so cool Austin & Brent ! Thanks definitely enjoy this build !
It sure is nice seeing you enjoying your new shop
Awesome work as always. I am insanely jealous that the boys get to work with their grandpa that much. And have videos of you doing the work. I'd give my left arm for even a five minute 8 mm film of my grandpa working on some project back in the day. Those boys are so lucky!
That's quality time right there!! Take care
Great seeing you and Austin at it!
It’s coming along nicely so far
YYEEAASSS, love all your vids but seeing that bad boy sitting in the back ground for soo long definitely had me wanting to see it come back for more. Thats a bad mammajamma for sure!
Hi Bent, I could not help but notice the 63 or 62 T-Bird in the shop. Man that is my favorite car of all time. I had a 62 my senior year in High School mack in 1970. I am hoping ya can do it in Burgundy with a cream white interior. I almost got to buy a fully restored 62 T-Bird a few years ago but the Wife shot that down "it looks like an old mans car". dang. Anyway, i look forward to your videos every day. they are a pretty big part of my now retired and lazy days. Thans!
Thanks for the video Brent. You have a lot of cool old cars in there.
There’s nothing like a old Buick I’ve had to never had to do much to them feed um regular maintenance sure miss my 67 Buick Electra 430 4 barrel those were good old days
