I love that he takes the worst shape vehicles and makes them run when others would never give them a chance
It is a surprisingly endearing madness..
It amazes me the stuff he gets running. Definitely a unique channel. Keeps me coming back.
That’s his whole appeal and his redneck basic approach and drawl.
Others don't do it because there's no reason. Except Ole Jethro here is clever enough to monetize on it.
That's the difference he being a Real Mechanic, and the vast majority nowadays are just parts replacement specialists..or " technicians ". 😂😅

my first teenage fantasy was a '54 Plymouth wagon. It was a beast. Stick on the column, lay down rear seats, big open split tailgate. A great car to learn to drive in and take a bunch of friends to the Outer Banks to spend the weekend. Everything was simpler and assessable to teenagers in the '60s.
Now that would require a 500 dollar car payment with a 300 dollar insurance payment just to get behind the wheel as a young adult.
@@Fractal_blip if you want to even drive a car you need really nice parents. Let alone having a car you actually want.
I was 17 saved up 3k working as a busser at a bar for a few months and bought a 97 jeep, could have spent less but I wanted something reliable for how much I drive, 100 a month on my mom's insurance for liability. It ain't hard to get a car especially when you're a kid with nothing better to spend money on.
@@Chillin4030dude what? Go get a job and buy one?
The fact that you took a rusted up boat anchor pos starter and got it cranking that engine is what I call impressive.
Even after being found upside down had those believe the engine actually ran on four cylinders as those know the allegedly broke two pistons trying to get the engine to turn over.
Think if you got that mill into a vehicle somehow and take it to a mechanic:" i think #1 is missing, #6 as well".
No. Not really. Basic critical thinking is all that’s needed.
@@peteness9550lmao you’re talking out of your ass, no modern car engine could handle this shit
Lmao the whole car is a boat ancor.
When he said "we'll reuse this" about the head gasket, he succinctly summarized his entire automotive philosophy - love it!!!
@@samholdsworth420 hey if it works it aint stupid haha
@@ricochetgaming7858 agree
"If it ain't (COMPLETELY) broke(n), don't junk it." It's an attitude that flies in the face of the face of the devolution from planned obsolescence to everything's-disposable

@@istdochallesegal3427 Use it up, wear it out, make do, or do without. 😀
What i find impressive is that starter. Completely stuck with rust inside and outside. Yet it could still be opened up sanded down to work again. The starters we have nowadays are throwaways. Once they stop working, replace them.
They don't make them like they used to.
That is because labor is very expensive and it is cheaper to replace them.
@@zef1097 why did it used to be cheap enough? accounting for inflation the average worker actually made more money 50 years ago than now, so why is the labor more expensive now to repair something that does the same job as what we already had
@@dprov1877 it is because the parts got stupidly cheap

You literally pulled a mound roughly resembling a vehicle out of the ground and went to work on it. Absolute madman.
I believe those tactics are similar to those used by african bush mechanics
I was watching with full amazement.
@@krus180 I love seeing them work always so resourceful
Makes me feel better dumping time on my hhr now.
Sounds like me too
Just to see an old engine like that firing off after so long is impressive.
Simplicity at it's best
Those engines were designed, drafted, crafted, forged, and built by men who thought about who was going to buy them and drive them. Not a computer calculating engine life versus cost versus bottom line like today's cars.
when Americans had values, the lot of us not just the few... WE the PEOPLE were at our best.

I love how happy and optimistic you are. You're like the Bob Ross of engines! 🙂🙂🙂
Exactly.
We need more people like you here in Africa. You really know what you are doing and to get something like that running is genius.
How the hell he made a car that was flatteneed, upside down, and waterlogged run is beyond talent
Cars build different back then xD
When I started the video I thought it was like a parody of that kind of channels and that he was fucking with us, saying he'd get that pancake running. He did get the pancake running...
@@exceptionalanimations1508 different as in everything rusts?
@@yes-gs2rd Different as in it is very simple in its engineering which makes it easier to get running, no computer controlled electronic fuel system.
@@briandeeley1599 It was basically designed so a farmer with chemicals and some sandpaper and "something that burns" and basic tools, could fix any engine any time for almost any irk.
This guy is so positive all the time. Nothing phases him. Never sweats the small stuff. To him it's all good and I admire his attitude. Thanks for the videos!
Small stuff like removing pistons with a chisel and holes in engine block 😄
He's obviously never tried to work on my Foxbody. That'll test his positivity. 😂

As a young boy growing up in Australia cars such a 1953 American Plymouth Cranbrook were a rare sight But my best friend at primary school had one and it is something I will never forget in a county the British cars reigned supreme Riding in this Automatic with a monstrous 6 cylinder flat head engine that rocked along at 60 miles per hour with nothing more than the sound of the wind Yep how could one forget
My dad owned a 53 Cranbrook. I learned to drive and it was my first mechanical experience vehicle, both. I build cars now and he was very sad I didn't take it off his hands and tow/ship it 1800 miles home with me when he retired it. At that moment I was not in a place to take it. When he passed I got all of his original brochures and display them proudly in my garage as an homage to him. It was a unique car in many ways.
I explore abandoned houses and properties as a hobby and find cars like this all the time. Never in a million years did I consider they could still come back to life. These videos are fascinating to watch but also haunting in a way that’s hard to explain. I recommend your channel whenever I get the chance. Never stop doing these.
Long as there's an engine in one piece, there's air, fuel, compression and spark, it'll run lol
@@topaz123212 I guess I always just assumed the motors were long seized up with no hope of coming back. Lol you so much as fart in the crankcase of some of these newer engines and it’s game over for good.
What is your favorite car that you have found
@bemotivated if you're asking me, one time I was at an abandoned shack with a little barn door garage and inside was a 57 hudson that had rotted so badly it couldn't be saved (frame and body) but engine was still in relative good shape (327ci)
@@bemotivated8443 I once found a Model T in a barn that probably hadn’t been opened in over 60 years. Large trees had grown up in front of the barn doors. The car was 100% intact from what I could tell.
Amazing.. Given a few hours, I bet this guy can put the Titanic back into service... Excellent work..!!
No way. The damage and corrosion from the salt water would make it literally impossible to put back into service.

Hope you’re doing well for yourself in Burundi! I know life can be hard there for many people
I got a 37 Hudson to run after it had been laying in the woods for 40 years. I actually registered it and drove it around on the back roads up here for about a year. No top, no driver's side door, and no trunk lid. Obviously I had a LOT of interesting conversations with law enforcement personnel USUALLY they were laughing too hard to write a ticket! This channel appears to be fun! I'll be back!
It is something fantastic to register a rotten car gotten from nowhere! In my country you must have all papers from previous owner and pass a strict technical control to register one.
@@Seregium Yeah freedom is wonderful.

Would love to see the pictures man. Godspeed!
Take any car made that is computer driven with electronic fuel injection and leave in a field and exposed to the same elements for 59 years you will never get it started.
I worked my entire life as a mechanic. Many pieces of crap, busted knuckles, etc, etc. How you work on that old rusted stuff and not give a few a good cussin is beyond me!! Great channel!
The KZhead overlords are pretty powerful to make a mechanic not swear like a sailor LOL
Or all the cussing is off camera! 😉👍
I have a feeling the next day that car was looking like it just left the showroom with a perfect red paint job.
The thing i'm most amazed about when I see these videos about getting old vehicles to run, Is the fact that they're able to. Almost everyone would look at something like that and think it's scrap, but those things are enduring.
Lol it is scrap. It has a cracked block and he chiseled two pistons out of it! 😂😂
"It don't really matter if it gets water down in it because, well, it's already had water down in it". Pure gold. What a can do attitude!
Along with "...it's jus missing this whole side... and the roof."
We've all seen the pictures of cars like this. It's sad to see that folks would just let them rot away. I know she can't be saved, but how awesome to get her running one more time. Silly as it sounds, I believe all cars have souls/ personalities. This one smiled when you got her started. Subscribed...
When I saw the thumbnail, I thought it was some kind of meme video but this guy is on another level.
This guy does gods work by literally giving these things life, He's gonna get every old car up and running, and even restore them. Automotive history never dies, And it will never happen.
This must rank as one of the craziest "will it start" videos ever! Big thumbs up to you! Greetings from the UK!
It’s amazing that a couple of missing pistons and sitting upside down for 50 years doesn’t matter in the old girls. Something the size of a matchbox and all sealed up will kill a modern car. I’ve worked on both and I know what I prefer 😊
Endless modern boring cookie cutter crap traveling the roads. Old cars forever I say.
This guy has to be the most optimistic and cheery mechanic I have ever seen ("its not too bad")!!!
How excellent was that? A beautifull old lady comes to life and smells the roses. Hello from Australia.
Ran as good as any Plymouth I ever had 😂
I had a plymoth breeze rental years ago. Even the horn was broken on it.
another high school kid trying to be funny.
@@roncheeseman3687 are you really trying to convince people that a broken horn was a plymouth problem?
@Ecosse57 found the Plymouth fangirl! I don't imagine many high school kids today have ever seen a Plymouth let alone owned multiples as this person implied. You need a hug or something?
Well I'm going to be 58 on the 23rd of this month so I'm well out of high school on I don't need a hug. I've only owned 2 both new and both pieces of crap. That's probably why they don't make them any more.
You give people hope , by working on these forgotten vehicles . Thank you and may God bless you .
I don't know how I missed this one! Another great video Mr. Jennings! Loved it!
I'm beyond amazed at what runs. Good luck doing this with cars today in 59 years.
My wife asked me if she could go for a "beauty treatment" seeing she's been cleaning the septic pump outside our double-wide. I told her all she needed was a garden hose and acetone. I've been sleeping in the garage for a while...
This was easily the funniest, and most fun, willie start video I've seen you do yet!
Man . . . You are dedicated and ingenious to get the old abandoned stuff running. Keep up the projects!
This is amazing. You take a car that most people think is mashed up garbage and get the engine running. I had to giggle just a bit in the first few seconds looking at it. Love your humor, am in awe of your talent, and I look forward to more of this content. Thank you sir!
This is what you call a running engine? 🤦🏽
Now you’re just showing off, and I love it!⭐️👍🔥🏁
😮WOW, I just stumbled across your chanel ,and I am hooked ! Watching your magic on the engine turn over, is frigging wild !!😮 Cool stuff, Thanks for sharing !!😅
I was a kid in the 70s I dug a bunch of old cars out of the woods. Drove a few home. One, a Delmont 88, I had to get out at every light and pour water in. It ran out almost as fast as it went in. I love this stuff.
When this world goes full thunder dome, you, Mr Jennings motor sports will be a God
These it-ain't-over-till-we-say-it's-over videos consistently bring to mind 1965's "Flight of the Phoenix" - love it!
Love this guy's voice.. sounds like Mr Mackey from South Park. "There's a little water down in there, mmkayyy.."
Unbelievable talent, she was lost and you made her found again, even if just a brief moment in time. All cars have a soul and right now this one’s smiling again . Good job 👍
I wish you posted more often. You make such excellent videos. With over 200k subscribers you could make decent money.
Thank you and I am working on getting at least two videos a week I am filing and saving up content so I can do that it takes time and sometimes the will it runs take more time then I bargain for
I turned on Bell notifications for this channel. I never do that lol
@@jenningsmotorsports7554hat The Heck Happened To The Car? Did It Wreck? I Don’t Even Know If The Body Can Be Fixed
I think with alittle body filler and paint it could be a daily driver. Just kidding.I'm always impressed with your ability to bring those old motors back to life. You sir are a top rate mechanic!
I will say you hardly ever give up on these classic vehicles. Love watching your videos keep it up
This was by FAR the most ambitious "will it run" video I've ever seen! Fantastic. Your outlook too when facing fatal problem after fatal problem is incredible. When you poured acetone all over it and lit it I knew I was in for a great video. Then you coaxed that starter, which was so dead its tombstone fell over, back to life? Keep up the hilariously great content my man. Bravo!
This channel is so unbelievably interesting. It's one of the very few I wait for new content.
💯
Same for me. The Cuda project is pretty amazing also. That car was trash and one day it will be worth a few bucks.
... Without a doubt, you are the man ! ... I was glued to my screen ... And tickled to see the motor fire up ... So, I give you an Official At-a-Boy, for showing real tenacity, and making it run ! ...
u made her run...best video for not givin up...loved it.
Just found your channel. Just subscribed. Wowww i never thought you woukd get that to run. Looking foward to watch all your videos. Great job😊
Love a good automotive revival!
Thank you
*Imma gonna let the smoke clear for a minute....* 😆😂🤣🤣🤣🤣👍 Ok that caused a 10 min tearjerking laughter. I am amazed this lump of rust even turned over once👍👏👏
❤ THIS GUY HAS OPTIMISM. Well done sir!
I love every video you put out, thank you
Thank you I couldn’t do it without y’all
Dude, you aint scared to jump on anything. I love it. You are the man. Excellent!
People like you with the skills you have are incredible. You are like a surgeon saving a life and yet less credited for it. I wouldn't know where to start. And yet you believe right from the start she will run. Its funny how someone left this engine for dead and someone with your skills can come along and give her a new life. I applaud you!
very cool work man, you have given me inspiration to bring home the old studebaker engine I found out on Forest Service land a couple weeks back. Never even considered these things might be brought to life again
Thought that one had no chance of running and you proved me wrong . Good job !
So when it was sitting on its side , Does that mean it had a slant 6 ?
I believe so lol
Привет американским работягам из России! ) Молодец! Круто!

Absolutely love your content. You do everything nobody else will!! Thank you👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
You amaze me! Keep the great videos coming!
Love this, new subscriber and looking forward to working through your content
Ok my hat’s off to you sir on this one. You are one motivated dude.
OMFG, UNBELIEVABLE! It's one thing to bring an almost 60 year old GARAGED vehicle back to life, but one that has been sitting OUTSIDE all this time???!!! I guess this is probably also a testament to the ruggedness of an in-line 6 motor. Anywho, you earned a sub from me (and countless others, i'm sure). Keep up the miraculous work!
Love your videos. If you had never seen them before you'd think it's a wind up but the wrecks you get running are unbelievable. Great work keep it up. The Barracuda illustrates your amazing skill, brilliant
At first I thought this was a parody of vice grip garage but then he actually got that thing to fire. Amazing. I am now a fan!
It’s amazing how you work with what you have and get these engines to fire up! Enjoy your videos!
For this thing to run with two pistons knocked out of it is just incredible, couldn't believe it when it fired off, loved it and great vid 👍
An old mechanic once told me, "The reason old engines always want to run is because there's no computer telling them they can't." Now here come the modern car simps to misinterpret that.
@@DarkElfDiva lol this is so true. Have an 07 accord with no compression in one cylinder and the computer kicks it into limp mode after warming up
@@DarkElfDiva Heh heh heh heh heh heh. And here with my rusty 05 Explorer, the engine kept going into FAILSAFE MODE because I accidentally broke the airtake temperature sensor's clip that keeps it snug in the slot, and so, it wasn't making contact. Well, a bit of Electrical Tape later, and we're golden again. Still haven't bothered to fix it "right," because why bother?
@@101Volts I once stopped a coolant leak with a no. 2 pencil.
I remember an old buddy of mine telling me the story of when his daughters home and all her belongings were wiped out in a Kansas Tornado. Upon surveying all the damage with his daughter, he spotted her Mazda 626 rolled up in a ball out in a wheat field. So…. just for fun, he was able to stick the ignition key in the steering column, and the crumpled Mazda started up! Kind of a different story…. but similar. 👍
I completely bumped into this by some weird fluke. But after watching this I have to say that was the coolest thing I’ve seen in a while! I’m hooked!!!!!
this I have never seen before, I love it.

I wasn't sure if this was just a click bait but I had to watch and you actually did get it to "run", for a very low value of "run" but still a lot more than I ever expected! truly inspiring!
I can't believe you were able to get that old engine running. Now that's impressive!!!!
That turned out absolutely gorgeous, dude! A fantastic piece to use for years to come! Please keep up this excellent work and videography! You are doing a fantastic job! 🍻🤘💜
This man really observed an upside down pile of scrap metal that, at one point a very long time ago, was an automobile and not only made the engine turn over but RUN.
I thought this was supposed to be a joke. Or a timelapse video of a complete overhaul. I certainly wasn't expecting you'd get it running in this state. I have to rethink my whole view on motorcycle mechanics now! To me this is awesome!
Love this channel… how in the heck he put that Cuda back together as good as he did is inspiring. Wow
This is a proper ''Will it run video''! 59 years upside down and two piston delete, this was the most interesting video.
Mr Jennings you da man love the videos and the commentary
When I pulled this video up I said well now this cat is fn crazy but i know one thing I’d have him work on my motor anytime after seeing this truly amazing the man is a wizard ♥️✌🏼
It wants to live.... Thank you for giving it a chance to do so.
