I’ve bought some pretty nasty vehicles before, but by far the worst of my life was the C4 Corvette that I bought to make into the Vette Hack test car and that later became the Vette Cart that Finnegan and Freiburger had fun with. This thing was filled nearly to the tops of the doors with crap and smelled like ALL the mice had found a home there. When I picked it up and brought it to Finnegan’s shop, we both thought we were going to die just trying to make it not a really disgusting mess.
For that project, Finnegan and I got the crappy job of cleaning out all the mouse hotels and mouse crap, while Freiburger got to miss it. Well, maybe the day he got the van is going to be payback.
Watch and see this thing try to get nice. Will it work?
Video Description:
My 1974 Chevy G10 motocross/surfer/stoner van is a ‘70s time capsule! In this video we’re going to see if we can revive it after it sat neglected for unknown decades before going to the junkyard. We’re going to fight all the usuals—poop, ants, mold, and vegetation—plus a special guest star, a possum! Technically in North America he’s an opossum, but he wasn’t particular.
Will the 350 small-block Chevy run? With transmission transmit and will the brakes stop? Find out in this episode as we butcher our way through through the basics to decide if the van is worthy of more.—D/F
