It's time for another Redline Rebuild time-lapse video! You saw us pull our 1950 Chevrolet 3600 truck from the woods earlier this summer. And you watched as we attempted (successfully!) to get the rusty, grimy inline-6 engine running before we dismantled it. After a few small issues with a cracked head and an oversized piston, our little Chevy 216 Stovebolt engine is finally back together with a fresh coat of paint and ready to be fired up (for real) for the first time in decades. Watch the entire process unfold in our unique Redline Rebuild style.

272nd.
Nice❤️❤️
The camera work is just as skilled as the mechanic work. And none of the fake drama of TV shows.
Just wondering how many days before they have finished it 🙂😂
Thats high end Entertainment
+Chuck Coy Watch Tim Allen parallel this would have been fun.
The best of the best.
I was just thinking how good/cool the editing is.
I was very proud of myself yesterday when I successfully adjusted my bicycle brakes.
I couldnt even do that 😪
Well done
I wish i could adjust mine.
Mine is on the way haha long time trying to solve it
Not sure if it’s the truth! But sure life is all about achieving achievements one after another 👍 well done to you if it’s the truth 🌟
I cannot recall when was the last time I had so much pleasure watching a time-lapse. Kudos to the filmmakers for putting together such an astonishing video.
Well put.
❤❤😊
Watching this brought back some memories. I run these engines 50 years ago and have worked on them. They were called Babbitt bangers because they have poured Babbitt bearings in the rods. The rods are not pressure fed they dip oil with each stroke out of the trough. The insert rod conversion was a good improvement that helped the engine hold up better under high RPMs.
❤❤😊
Whoever recorded this and edited it is doing some absolutely INCREDIBLE work. Its what MAKES these videos as good as they are. To whomever you are, good.freaking.job.
Agree. Super visually interesting- I think someone would enjoy this even if they weren't into cars.
@@MediumHalf That's the thing, I dont know a damn thing about cars other than how to change my oil.
Exactly my thoughts. Do you happen to work in production, too?
@@ramowas Not anymore, but I did briefly
Well said, this was brilliant!
I’m not a car or engine guy but my god that video was so incredible I couldn’t look away. Amazingly well shot and edited and so much work went into that project. Really outstanding guys!!
Just goes to show all the painstaking details, steps and parts thst go into rebuilds. Also, the bigger the worktable, the better. 😉
I didn't see it running or maybe a test run that might be a good ending
Im still like wtf.
@@humblelastguy6895 He started the motor and had it idle at 500 rpm.
@@glenhardy4770 WOW amazing 😀
Makes me appreciate my Football Coach and Drivers Ed teacher who restored a 1950 GMC pickup to perfection and sold it to me for $300. Yes that was in 1973, but man what a truck that was. Looked as though it just came off the production line. 6 volt battery located under drivers side of bench seat, floor starter, box-heater under passenger side dash, hugh steering wheel because there was power steering...ran, drove and looked immaculate. RIP Coach.
Blown away with the videography! The editors at hagerty must be one of the best in the entire community! Hagerty never disappoints. Best timelapse and stop motion I've ever seen!!!!!🔥
❤️❤️😊
Not sure why KZhead thought I needed to see this... KZhead was right, definitely needed to see this.
Same.
Hey! I loved every fast minute of it!
Lol same here. It also helps since the video is really well made.
You`ve got to thank the guys at Hagerty for doing it!!! Huauuuuhhhh!! Taking my hat off!!!
Check out my KZhead channel
Best time-lapse rebuild footage I've ever seen. Well done with the production!
BallaMOTO I was about to comment that the video editor needs a raise
BallaMOTO and John M. 100% agree ... absolutely great work 👍👍👍😎😎😎
My words exactly.
Right! Unreal
I agree bro, I don't even watch stuff like this but dam this was perfect for impatient people lol
People who can rebuild an engine have my full admiration great video chap.
I have incredible respect for anyone who can do this type of job. The coffee break around the 4 min mark cracked me up. The guy deserved a break!
❤️❤️😊
I'm 65 and I remember when there were lots of old bubble nose Chevy trucks still on the road. Makes me feel good every time I see one of these sweet old pickups brought back to life.
The amount of knowledge, skill, work, money and dedication to this task is staggering! Job well done!
Biggest is money, with money, all things are possible.
So satisfying to watch these incredibly talented restoration professionals bring a classic, like this, back to life. I'm so impressed by talent like this. Killed it guys!
❤️😊
I'm 77, my dad had a 53 five window. I worked on that many times, including engine rebuilds. Very reliable truck, had it for 20 years. Good memories, thank you.
The amount of skill on display in this video is epic, from the engine rebuild to the camera work, very well done!
I think the video was harder to do than the rebuild
Great work, great video story boarding
It does my heart good to see somebody still knows how to work on those old straight sixes
Love it when they get headers, EFI and a turbo
May not have been too powerful, but they were solid reliable workhorses. You could overheat them 156,000 times and still be no worse for wear.
Not too many of those old school mechanics anymore. Especially when I saw the guy rebuilding the distributor with points
So cool. The engine rebuild is amazing...but lets give a shout out to whoever did this amazing time lapse video!
Hitting the starter and just hearing the engine turn over, took this ”50's boomer" back to my early teenage days. Thanks for the memories and a very well done video.
The time lapse guy gets a raise this time. The tape roll down was epic.
Dave Butler faxx!
👍
Omg yesss and the parts coming out of the box
You should watch the harley and vw rebuild if you liked that
and how there were two of him while doing the piston rings... awesome!
This is the best time-lapse I've ever seen. Also, this looks expensive...
+Conrado Balbinot That it does. Very expensive. A ballpark dollar figure eludes me though.
Probably about 5-6 grand for a rebuild like this if you wanted someone to do it for you
@@judgejudy7283 THANK YOU! You have given me a starting point.
My thoughts exactly, my goodness the labor cost of these rebuilds!!
@@judgejudy7283 i'd think it was twice that.
The entire production of this video just makes me tingle with enjoyment! Who, as a car and truck enthusiast, doesn't love this 100%?! Excellent job everyone involved!!
My great grandfather had a truck almost identical! I used to ride in it! It’s awesome to see new life a come back to it! And come back to almost brand new! With extra added character! Awesome video!
My great grandfather was a machinist for Chrysler. The way he held his tools and the precision he did everything thing with was amazing to watch. This video reminded me of him.
You know it's a pro when they don't cheer and laugh when the engine fires up for the first time
Yeah, just a normal thing :)))))
Yeah. There was still an unseen huge sigh of relief.
I would be too nervous to move
He just simply says: "This one's done." LoL!
He's probably too busy listening to it. (Ears are diagnostic tools)
only those of us that have actually done it can truly appreciate the work and time that go in to doing something like this
This is art. I am a video editor for 15 years and I give huge respect the videographer. Mad respect.
Never lose your camera guy. What a solid lad.
I'm 44, I've never rebuilt an engine, always wanted to learn, that sense of accomplishment and satisfaction when you first fire it up has to be amazing.
I just finished rebuilding my second motor. First was an overheated 70's 85hp, 3 cylinder, triple carb, 2 stroke Chrysler outboard that was in three cardboard boxes when I bought it. I was 16~17 at the time, and my dad was so mad that I bought this boat. He swore that I'd never get it to run. I bought the books and needed tools, had the cylinders bored and head surface planed, replaced the pistons, rings, bearings, head, and gaskets. One month from the day he told me it would never run, I had it back in the boat and started it up! Never did get an apology or anything. 😄 Second was a 70's Ford 3 cylinder diesel that puked its oil and seized. Went through the same procedure, and while it took significantly longer to complete, it also is back up and purring. Ya just gotta go at it and get it done. Fear is our biggest obstacle.
Yeah, until youve built your 500th engine and barely making enough money to feed yourself and pay rent...been there, done that
@@ElementofKindness " Fear is our biggest obsticle." I like it.
@@sadmachines6991 I bet that's the truth! That bugger injection pump fought me a full ten days before I got it straightened out. That's definitely a cost you really couldn't pass to a customer, if I had been rebuilding for a customer. Headaches can throw profit down the toilet in a hurry.
@@sadmachines6991 500! 500 engine rebuilds. That's the number I figured when I was a kid! 500 teardowns before you could consider yourself a legitimate engine rebuilder. You need it for experience - to develop leather skin! So I got started ... I tell you, you learn a lot of things on the way to 500. None more important than this ...😉😎😂
This is just wonderful and satisfying to see another classic vehicle rescued!! Long may your great work continue... God bless you!!
Proof that we don't need words. Give us bangin music and restorations.
Not nearly enough of society appreciates the talent and intricacy needed for something like this.
We need urgently a society to make stuff to last and BE transform and fix... The making new all the time is not sustainnable.
Sad 1.4K dislikes this video. 🤔
Because the world has moved on from 40s-70s junk welcome to the 21st century where old "jewels" dont matter. We like putting hard effort/work towards more oh i dont know useful projects per say?.
cmd1zz13 agree..
I'm a lady with no knowledge of the workings of cars, but THAT was delightful to watch. The hours and hours of attention to detail was impressive. Great timelapse!👍👍👍
As a fellow KZheadr, I would not want to edit one of these video's. *I couldn't imagine the time spent.* Good job Hagerty team. 👍👍👍
And please don’t stop!
Just pulling the pictures off onto the timeline. Frame duration of 1/24 sec each and it should be pretty quick. Actually taking the time to take the pictures though is the tough part.
Farm Alarm I’m like how much of their budget is editing
@@SteedDigital1 you could film and edite the parts you don't want. Tan speeeed up. This would be my simple solution haha
This is an awesome, totally awesome production. Wow. Each and every step covered, in a great and precise way. Wow. Sat in awe here of not only the job done but the filming.....
I don’t know the first thing about fixing a car or truck. I’m not really a car guy. But this was a great video. The fact that you guys got that engine completely overhauled was truly a testament to your skills, knowledge, quality tools and patience.
Two worth quality of this video: 1. The rebuilding process. 2. Cameraman+editing.
What camera and gear was used in this video? Absolutely incredible time lapse. Seriously next level. Thank you
Play it back in slow motion its awesome
I had a 48 Chevy stylemaster Town sedan with the same motor in it men this video brings back memories I had taken my motor out just like he did and I had everything on it Chrome plated the oil bath the intake exhaust manifolds everything love it
The first song is really cool too.
I was gonna say the same thing then i saw your comment. It s a incredable job, isn't it?
I enjoy seeing old engines brought back to life.
Hagerty
What these guys do is truly phenomenal.
Thanks for the memories. ...of 5 car buddies in a '51 Chevy Commercial coupe on a quest for a holy grail driving the California highways of 1961. And of working on that old stovebolt six engine.
I dint know what's more impressive, how beautiful that engine looks or the incredible stop motion timelapse done by your production team.
The amount of labor, expertise, parts, money put into this is amazing. No wonder restoration is so expensive. Very interesting.
I love that no matter how old these cars get and no matter how scarce the parts for them become theres always somebody gifted enough ta get these classic beauties rolling down the streets they once did many years ago again 😏👍
Thank you for saving that piece of American history
The amount of skill and knowledge is just humanity at its best.
It's manufacturing skills shipped off shore for greed. This is what america is capable of
I'm more impressed with the amount of editing and set-up it took to get a lot of these shots. The video itself is a work of art
What a great video. I love the simple older engines and their desire to run. Great job fellas!
Wonderful video! I loved the time lapse. Great editing of both sound and video. From a car guy perspective I appreciate seeing someone restore the stovebolt as apposed to sticking a 350 in it. I recently got a pair(49 and 51) of old Chevy trucks and can't wait.
❤️❤️😊
Your film and editing team really has their time-lapse game together. Some of the consistently best time-lapse stuff i've ever seen.
This is how a timelapse ought to be done.
👌
You guys are real masters at your craft! That older gentleman was like a surgeon but for metal. This was amazing.
I keep coming back and watching this like every other month for a year now!
You know guys,not only your the best mechanic but your patient to do is great.
...and the cameraman deserves special mention.

Credit goes to the tripod
Love the fact it is using the original engine.
To be more practical, a newer small-block Chevy crate engine would be less money and time consuming, but some prefer original.
@@jeffruebens8355 That's the problem with with the car culture now a days.
@@jeffruebens8355 ah but a good ol' inline 6 is a great engine anyways
@@Chris-tl9wd as an example, was the Ford Flathead owner wrong to add a custom Ardun head to prevent overheating back in the day? Maybe they kept the original head. More recently, Jay Leno owns at least 1 original Lotus Elan and 1 almost completely custom Elan. Anyone is free to prefer 1 or the other, the 1989 Mazda Miata that copied it, or the faster and safer 2019 MX-5 Miata for more money that will likely be more reliable, at least short-term. See the recent Consumer Reports top ten list for reliability. I bought a Dodge Dart with a slant 6 engine for $200 decades ago- very reliable engine and better gas mileage than a V8. After the automatic transmission lost reverse it went to a junkyard for parts. I got my money's worth from it by then.
@@jeffruebens8355 sir i am srilankan i want to work with you how can It's possible
Great job guys, I tore an engine my youth, I'll always regret not being more involved in automobile mechanics. But I was a precision machinists for a lot of year. At one time I was able to hold a .005 tolerance on a stainless steel pump. Thanks to the original operator of said surface grinder.
Настоящая работа мастера старой школы. Хорошо, что такие люди ещё есть, на них держится мир.
In 20 years there probably won’t be anyone left that can do this work.
That two merged scenes when he was assembling pistons and drinking coffee at the same time were super awesome! Keep it up guys👍
Can you imagine what it was like when this guy heard the sound of the first engine he rebuilt? Getting this good at this kind of art is a passion.
Auto building in America used to be an art ! It's nice to see some traditions are still holding on!! Great video! The paint job on the engine is beautious! How about the completed truck ??
Let's be real, that editing and camera work was top notch. And that rebuild was 😙🤌
who ever is the camera and editing guy, WELL DONE!!
Seriously, those smooth timelapse pans have got to be tricky to pull off.
Exactly, echoed my thoughts, superb photography, excellent editing and a great build, the Cat's Meow.
I know! How the time lapses move too 😒👌
Dudes...Awesome Work...!
@@Mcfc2Rich how you have tutorials there?
Just for those of you who were wondering, all the music used in this video is by *Tigerblood Jewel* . Here's the timestamps: 0:00-2:23 Let's Go Go Go 2:24-3:39 Ghostly 3:40-5:23 I think You Better 5:24-6:56 Feels Like I'm Going Crazy 6:57-7:40 Demon
EVILBUNNY28 Thanks, the music is always good in those videos.
Bloody legend!
It's incredible to me that these guys were able to do all that work in one day! I didn't see the sun go down once in the video...
So amazing a person can still get parts and restore older cars and trucks,I love older cars,
OMFG, just the sheer amount of effort went into this production! This is like distilled humanity. Awesome!!
Let alone to bring a 70-year old 6-cylinder block engine back to life. Yet it goes to show you that simpler is better, as older cars were all mechanical, and not electronic like today's cars and trucks.
Какой калосальный труд был проведен. Уважение и благодарность людям за трудолюбие! И какой результат ошеломительный.
The music, the pauses, the videography WHA! This video was something else and props too to the mechanics
Hell of a job, from the video editing to the mechanic skills.. Now this is America, bad ass!
The job you do of restoring those engine's is a work of art... Such beauty in the craftsmanship. Thanks
More than a brilliant mechanic, you’re an artist. Love these time lapse. Well done to the production crew too
This is called the best hyper lapse I have ever seen in my life.
Enjoy your restoration and rebuilds much more than any of your other videos
Damn it's nice having a garage. Opens up a world of possibilities
Right? Last motor I rebuilt, I was practically having to do it outside, with only a Harbor Freight tarp garage to provide a little protection.
Not really its a head full of headaches
@@iamasmurf1122 if you don't like your shop I'm happy to take it off your hands
@@iamasmurf1122 ok boomer
ygtcbee23 it's cool
I gotta say this has been the most entertaining rebuild I've seen so far.
Better than sex
Darren Keen not quite better but definitely close lol
Sinclair really awesome!
@@nickwebb9937 🙏 lol indeed brother
I cannot imagine the amount of time this took to shoot and edit. I build engines and shoot video. This is awesome.
i love watching these videos watching an old engine made better than new
Hello friends, I love what you do, give life to an old vehicle that had to stop maybe due to lack of budget, how beautiful it is to live in a country where nothing stops you to rebuild such a vehicle, I have a Jeep truck that has been in my garage for almost 12 years stopped because here in Venezuela it is practically impossible for a person with few resources to be able to do something like this, I love mechanics and I swear that I would love to revive my truck again but as I already told you I said that here it is impossible ... I liked your video I do not speak English ok but for that we have the internet right hahaha thanks for sharing
Your English is fine, more than ok. I hope you find help for your Jeep.
Hermano latino ojala que las cosas se pongan mejor en tu país saludos de El Paso, TX
Do you request America to help deliver Freedom? We gotta fix that JEEP.
These men are engine machinists!!!!!!
That thing is gonna sound like a *Sewing Machine* 👍💪🔥
A true master. It’s a joy watching him work.
Just mesmerizing! This is the second time I've watched this video. Thanks guys
the best channel for engine rebuild porn on youtube.
Couldnt say it better . Lol
i wouldnt mind if they didnt do this kind of editing but its pretty cool
@@Hitomaru-shiki.sensha If you look on their channel they do build update videos which go through everything in a raw kind of way
honestly, if they upload this on pornhub, i'm not even mad
@@Hitomaru-shiki.sensha the editing is so cool
This is the type of video that you should give 1 million likes and 1 million comments if one person could..
The amount of knowledge, experience, time and sacrifice behind this is incredible. Hats off to all the people involved in this project!
Oh. My. God! The PRODUCTION QUALITY!
Просто дикий восторг от сделанной работы.Четко,слажено и качественно.Браво!
Браво этому мастеру.ниразу глаза не отвёл от видео,как зачарованный смотрел.восторг
This by far has been THE GREATEST CONTENT IVE SEEN EVER !
Wow! This is really something... outstanding job. Really like the time lapse photography...great work on the motor, great production values... this puts a lot of mainstream commercial shows to shame!
I am an electronic technician but i like auto works .Your work is amazing i like it very much.
If I had money and time this will be my everyday hobby
How can you not like this video? With the amount of work, knowledge and effort put in to make it, it's impossible not to contemplate. Amazing work as always, and when we think you guys can't improve anymore, you guys came up with a video like this.
This was amazing to watch. Truly skilled humans, I am impressed by your knowledge of combustion engines.
This labor of love is appreciated.
Time lapse and stop "animation" was amazing... great editing and sound track.... freaking fun to watch...
About as close as we're gonna get to going back in time and hearing one right off the lot. Such great work.
Guys my hat off. Sooo much work done. Ideal restoration!
That engine is truly a work of art
I feel this will soon be a "lost art", rebuilding a engine of this era.
Already is!
As a machinist/fabricator is super easy to find a job due to not many qualified people, some try but fail
@@JuanHernandez-ub3ez Not too many millennials wanna get their hands dirty doing skilled labor.
@@ICOWBOYIM also most shops trying to low-ball employees
@@JuanHernandez-ub3ez YES, that is also very true. As a retired industrial mechanic/machinist/ welder I have personally experienced that too. But then I never had a problem finding a job, repairing or building my own equipment either. I value that self worth highly when I look at the shop labor rates ($75.) and trying to keep things running, put food on the table and paying bills. What do millennials do to keep their things running... pay, pay, pay?!
What an amazing job!! Just cant beat the sound of those old engines!! I love the fact that it was done correctly and 100% original!🙌🙌🙌🇺🇸
This stop motion camera work could make brushing my teeth look awesome. Beautiful job, guys.
