We recently shared one of Mortske’s “will it run” videos where he took a 1961 Bel Air that had been sitting outside for 49 years and got it back up and running. To say that it is a 1961 Bel Air might be a bit of a stretch though because a ton of this car had been taken and used somewhere else in its life. We’re talking doors, windows, front sheet metal, etc. There was a ton of stuff that was either missing, or smashed, on this car. Of course, that didn’t slow Mortske down any because he knew there was potential here even if that potential was mostly for fun.
But now that the car has been made to run, and has spent even more time sitting out in the snow, he feels guilty and wants to put this thing together to make ti roadworthy. Yes, roadworthy. Something someone could actually get in and drive without fear of it dying in 5 miles, falling out during that 5 mile drive, or being stranded in that 5 miles.
It will take several parts sources, and a parts car, to make this all happen, but I think it is worth it and will be fun to watch based on the Snownuts that are happening in the opening scene. Watch.

I figured it was time we got back to working on the 1961 Chevrolet BelAir bubbletop sport coupe that we rescued last year. I had rounded up some body parts and glass along with a four door sedan donor car since then so lets make this car that much closer to being roadworthy! As always, thanks for watching!
Something a person could get in and drive without worrying that it would die in five miles, that they will fall out during the journey, or that they will get stuck.
