I genuinely enjoy Tom, just everything about him, his knowledge, his responses; it's always a good time when you pop over to his place, it's even better when he has a hand in the video.

When the cylinders are down on compression, always use 2-stoke fuel so that you do not get drywall and better valve seating in old engines as they hate sparks in a can. Or so I have found here in Australia. Ours is called Start-Ya-Bastard.

I have been really happy to have Angus on the channel full time. If we could also add Tom full time that would be awesome.

I have been a Buick guy since I was 19 and bought my first one in 1973. It was a 1966 Buick Special. I have had a '56 Buick for 38 years. I also have a '65 Buick Skylark. Between my wife and I we have seven Buicks since we were married in 1984. I will be 71 in June.

The thing I love most about Junkyard Digs and Kevin is the format doesn't change. A video from years ago could be watched between two of the latest and it's the same great content. So many channels try to change things up and end up losing that magic that brought the people back for that comfortable escape or vicarious experience of watching what you always wanted to try but never got around to or are just starting out and want some good inspiration and the wealth of knowledge that Kevin brings to the audience. I'm always excited when a new Junkyard Digs video drops because there aren't any bad ones. Keep up the great work! Cheers brother. Hey Mook!

I'd been missing Tom. Great to see him (and ofcourse everybody else, too) again! Excellent job with that beautiful Buick

Awesome to see it move! My wife just inherited a 60 Buick Invicta project car that hasn't run in 30 years from her father so any Buick love gets me motivated to get out moving!

The emblem falling off during the brake drum hammering 😂 😂

I'm 35 and my Dad just turned 80, we are restoring my grandfather's (his dad's) 1973 GMC. My Dad loves joking about how he never thought he'd be learning to do body work, let alone at 80 years old. Truth be told, he is pretty damn good at it too!

We shall call that remnant of rubber fuel line the "forbidden slim jim". Seriously though, every video with Tom is such a treat. Another one brought back from the depths thanks to Kevin and the gang! Keep up the great work guys!

Here’s an idea for a T-shirt design : a can of brake cleaner being sprayed into a carburetor and the words “ come on ya turd !” Somewhere beneath that carburetor.

23:40 My Dad used sandpaper to abrade the points on his old Continental. Since it was a Lincoln, he had to clean and polish them with a $5 bill.

"If I had a dog that looked like that, I'd shave his butt and make him walk backwards" had me absolutely rolling. 😂 Dad vibes are strong in this one.

I know that Kevin is addicted to his brake clean starting of old junkers, but I can’t help but wince each time he does it. Brake clean is really good at washing away oil, the one thing you don’t want in an old engine cylinder with low compression. Maybe it would be a good move to switch to 2-stroke fuel like TruFuel you can get at any parts store??

I wish my Dad was still alive to have been able to watch this episode. What a beautiful car. Please do a full mechanical restoration.

This is hands down the most interesting revival ive watched, a 1951 Family owned Buick (being 73 years old) last ran close to the same year the Bonneville was parked and Seized. Amazed at how much life all these old cars still show when you give them enough persuasion and dedication to bring them back

I’m 18 years old and I inherited my great grandfathers 1930 Chevy pickup. It sat for 15 years and needs a lot of work. You’re guys videos are so inspiring for me and make me want to get my truck running even more and more. Thanks for the great vids.

this is by far the coolest save ever. Congrats to Tom on driving his families car. His dad has a cool collection too. More on the buick would be great
