We take this long-forgotten 1976 Ford LTD with 460 big block power and get it running again for the first time in over 3 decades! THEN we turn it into a legit police car clone with tractor paint!

    Jess is definitely a keeper, not afraid to get her hands dirty!! Perfect match for the guy who buys the raunchiest cars left on earth!
  • @Gutless.
    the amount of effort this man puts into his videos is truly amazing it inspirers me to start to do things similar
  • @BurntFaceMan
    Dalton : Sees the battery has slid over and made contact with the car, shorting it casing a small fire. Also Dalton: Pushes it back and doesn't put anything next to it to stop it sliding again, then immediately does a donut to fling it back out the the body work. ^_^ Y'all are all kinds of Crazy. LOVE it. I hope you never get seriously hurt but godamn, never change!

    JD is going to have stories for years to tell his kids someday, "...and your crazy grandfather and I decided to dress up like 70s era TV cops and speed around the neighborhood in our 70s era TV cop car..."
  • JD is god damn hilarious, had me laughing my ass off at " I have something to say...my moustache fell off" 😂
  • @spliffburger
    The multi person painting method was actually super wholesome. Brought back a lot of memories of me and my dad painting his Nova as a kid with two guns and me doing horribly and him fixing my mistakes. Father of the year, decade, century, millennia, whatever. You won.
  • @paulweigle6872
    The rear end bouncing non stop had me laughing. Then of course the fire. And the stuck throttle. Fantastic fun video. Can't wait to see what's next.
  • @stevecomb180
    🤣🤣 the end of this video is so darn hilarious, JD with the raybans and the moustache is about the funniest thing I’ve seen in a while he looks so serious. You gotta be so proud of that little man. You guys are hilarious. Rosco P Coltrane and Enos chasing them Duke boys 🤣🤣🤣
  • @dragon2knight
    Is there anything better than steaming piles of LTD's while eating dinner, I think not! JD's got the life! Who else gets to build a cop car in a day and go thrashing it? Dalton, you are the best dad ever 👍👍
  • There's a soft spot in my heart for the LTD. My nana had a 75 with the 400 in it. 2 door.. Canary yellow with the black vinyl (yuck) top on it. I loved that car. It sat in her driveway all my life as a kid, I learned how to work on the carburetor the brakes do the belts tune up, all that as a little kid. I LOVED that car.. she had let me drive it once at 15 (she didn't care) and she told me one day it would be mine.. well.. she passed away when I was 16 and my uncle sold it to one of his friend's kids because he didn't want me to kill myself it in. 2 weeks after he sold it, the kid cracked it up and was in the hospital for months. I never forgave him for selling it, that was supposed to be MY car. Oh well.. I'd probably still have that old hunk of junk today. NO it wasn't a hunk of junk, that was nana's car.. they bought it brand new to drive to AZ for something, (we live in NJ) and my popop passed away in 82, and she held onto that car for the rest of her life.. it had like 42k miles on it.. it was beautiful (as beautiful as a 75 LTD could be I suppose) .. man I loved that car..
  • @jacobpeacy4003
    That kid definitely has some balls, cause the last thing I'd want to hear while riding in a car is "These brakes are so weird; see, I've never felt that before"
  • @Lord_Swede
    Your father and son relationship is something I wish I had when I was growing up.
  • @dsc420247
    I just imagine some 70 year old grandma on her front porch watching y'all fly back and forth in that car thinking y'all are the real police!!!😂😂😂 She's on the phone with Brenda telling her everything she's seeing!!!🤣🤣
  • @Plarndude
    I love watching old vehicles get rescued and reborn. Your channel, Vice Grip Garage, Junkyard Digs/MOOK, and doubtless others yet to be discovered, really grab my ADHD brain’s attention. 😅
  • Jess is such a trooper and that flame thrower is badass! Paint looks great! You could see the reflection in the black when you backed out the barn.
  • @scottcol23
    Love the old LTD's. There's nothing like floating down the highway, one finger on the wheel skillfully navigating the 1/4 turn of slop in the wheel. All while getting 8mpg. poor pup at 20:30 saw its life flash before its eyes. Haha.
  • @jman642
    The back end of that car bouncing non-stop is Hilarious!
  • This old fella really likes these videos of you Jess and JD working together. Keep doing the family content. Love it ❤
