V-10

8hp swap?

M120

Dave, after what you have been through with this this car you are warranted to modify this car with reckless abandon as you see fit...

Some interesting internal combustion engine! :)

🐍 viper it man

Fix or swap the transmission, I am sure someone will sell you a 8hp or 10sp swap. Add 2 turbos while you are at it, make it really interesting.

Viper v10

V12

It's not Bondo, it's Hydacin (hide a sin)

GTR engine would be funny in it.

V10

Or sell it to. TAVARISH!!

If you want it to be dependable, put a Chevy motor in it

And oh my all I see is $$$$, trust me I've been through it with another shop and brace yourself when you get the bill....and that was back in 2015, add in the inflation of 2024 and my goodness this gonna hurt.

V10 allll....the.....way

V10 for sure

Go v10 David, it’s gonna make a unique beast!👍🇨🇦

V-10 would be a challenge but, not as much as an EV.

V-- 10 👍

Go electric!

Viper v10.

That car might need a plate welding for the next MOT lol.

Talk about taking it down to nothing to builder back up 👍👍👍👍🇨🇦🔧

My brother bought some Bondo in the shape of a Chevelle. Bondo was over 4 inches thick in places.

Good video thank you

You forgot to mention Kustoms you know chopped and dropped customs "lead sleds"... there were builders from East LA like the Ayala Brothers, George Barris was not the only one.

An actual roadster windshield frame would be a great improvement. That one is just wrong.

I can see it now The new Aston m ,DG1, includes complimentary coffee table with every order

@rumblesspeedshop-inrustwet1061 must have worked on that lol

Gross vehicle weight + 20 gallons of bondo.

BANANAED? I was wondering how you spell that! I have never heard that Bananaed word before!

It’ll always amaze me the way Americans do cars, I’m an apprentice panel beater and even I know not to layer filler/bondo over a mil or so

Gold 😂

Might as well just start out with a piece of flat sheet and make your own

Was it rust repair, or was it wrecked and someone "fixed" it? Either way glad your doing it right, hope owner does original colors ( whatever it may be)

The game is Trouble. I'm sorry to be the one to tell you, but Sorry was a card based board game.

Mavericks were the bic lighter of cars

That's not Bondo, it's Form-a-Fender!

whole can of bondo on the door lol

Initially I thought "All that work for a Maverick?" but then when I heard "grabber" I knew it was special.

I'm in let's see the beautification 👍🇨🇦🔧

I'm thinking that DG could become an influential person in the history of AM. Although embarrassing for AM, DG is putting them in the spotlight and will be building a wild almost fantasy show car. If AM could get past the initial optics, they would be wise to join with the Guild and somehow get involved with this project and at least be part of putting the finished project on tour. It would have more people talking about AM. Maybe they could even have DG involved in some new product.

I really like what your saying , don't worry about what anyone thinks . Be creative and go for it .

Dave, thanks for this almost scholarly account of hot rod history! I have not heard such a thorough discussion. And just a reminder to everyone that Dave and his shop are located in small town Ontario north of Toronto…. far, far away from California! Amazingly knowledgeable account.

David, you have an Aston- Martin.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

theres actually a road test of the 68 KR here on youtube, that SOB handles, like I'm not sure if its the same Hotchkiss suspension as in the maker of the resto mod stuff, but it says it has it, and that thing handled well, one of the old old I think road and track videos with Bill Lindon as someone uploaded a bunch to youtube, and that was one of the best, one of the worst was a stock 71 challenger with a 383 lol like that thing just plowed

7:23 Oh no dont tell me, the Selespeed transmission, the F1 pumps gone out, Aston in all its wisdom shared this transmission with both Alfa, and ferrari and they were notorious for pump failure, its why there's actually a program to send it back to aston to get it switched to a manual six speed archyluxury, this watch addicted snob actually covered it on his alfa 124, he said they had three other Alfa's in on that same day with pump failure and they had it on the early 355's and the 360, also if its anything like the ferrari, dont jump it if the battery's gone, it might kill the computer, and given its a rare exotic, guess what most likely went and guess what they did also go own one, HAHAHAHAHA there was one local to me for 45 grand, I was actually tempted but the spark plugs from ford are drying up and I knew of the transmission issue plus what the hell am I gonna do with a vanquish, also the vipers reliable outside of the early headgasket and thermostat problems, because its actually a 360 V8 bumped up to 10 it was a prototype truck engine, despite what the engineer who is on here and has been in the muscle car mags says that was ment for a truck, but they didnt put it into production, and then when they were looking to make a sports car on the cheap using dodge durango running gear, which is why its rims and tires work for it as an impromptu set of snow tires of all things and they took it out and sent it to lamborghini for casting given its what they do, and do well also I half wonder if that head gasket issue was a result of that, as they use aluminum and steel in the heads and you really have to let them warm up as they expand and contract at different temperatures as the heads aluminum, but the cam on the lambos sits in steel, granted the camshafts in the block, not the head on those but try that stupid FRIGGING PUMP first before ripping it apart, also its got a code reader under the dash, the OB1 reader or something like that plug that in and see what it says, its modern enough to have the very first of those also if your gonna modernize it and go crazy, try the one 77 grill treatment, like have the grill divided into three sections and maybe have it slant inwards with the outer two, and look for some pressure releasers in the fenders, like they have on the AMG's maybe give it abit of DBS, the replacement for the vanquish S with the vents, which honestly kinda seems like the zenith of modern aston also funny little thing about it in the bond film, they tore out the engine on that to fit it with 4 wheel drive from a ford explorer, so engine swaps can and have been done before, even in the films but regardless of what you do, good luck with it, and have fun, heck maybe even give it abit of Z8 in some ways which honestly if they werent so frigging expensive would be my choice of dream bond car, mind you with the dash completely covered in leather so it doesnt reflect like crazy as in colors other than silver, it just doesnt look good, and with the leather, you could try a cheap trick, which I think someone did, maybe aston back in the day, make the top half vinyl, the bit that's exposed to the sun or something that's rated for a 135 degree's plus, which is what the heat is like when it hits it, Leno Mentioned it on his firebird WS6 video of just how hot it gets in the sun, like it may seem like its 80 degree's, but for the leather on a car interior, it gets that frigging hot and shrinks like maybe find out what porsche uses for their race cars so it holds together, hell maybe that's why they started using alcantera for everything also aston back in the day would have the car be two tone in the pre ford martin era as I call it, so you could try that, like the bond aston martin was black and blue grey the original DB5, as the original wasnt silver, which might have been a rolls royce silver, it was red so they made this rather attractive color combo to match also the gauges are where the interior just doesnt look right, if anything I would look at fitting some modern aston martin ones in, modern as in 2006 mind you, maybe with a white backdrop as the gauges in this, are from the XJS, Well XK8, and the Db7 Ian Calliums OTHER car who has made his own super duper fancy version of it that looks like ass, for 330 thousand dollars mind you this is the same guy who took a jaguar mark II, deleted all the chrome off of it, and put an awful momoalita steering wheel on it and then painted it the same red and grey as the rolls royce they put in the pool on top gear so top class marks there lol

Dave, I'm thinking there are a couple of Stateside outfits that will have an LS 12 figured out before the end of this year. What ever you put in it will be running pretty much a stand alone for the engine/transmission, so what you want is easily doable, even with electronic FI, distributor and VVT included. Now I understand what an old friend of mine meant after divorcing the same woman twice- he said the "buying that car twice was the most expensive mistake of his life". The message got a little lost not to long later when he divorced his second, second wife, though. The build sounds like fun; save me a seat, I'll bring my own pop corn!

Chris from Australia. Finally the next stage of the A.M. clean slate approachand i can a lot of ideas absoultely bursting out trying to get on paper! Many points you made are valid. It seems you're heading down the path of a Cabrio 2+2 configuration. The rear parcel tray area - what a waste. The lowered roof line (chopped) good. In the ealry 70's designed by Italians , where the vehicle had the option of either hard top / soft top with a "T" roof bar / roll cage . This offered both open car feel with added propection with extra body stiffening features. The vehicle, I hate to say it was the Jaguar Cabrio and the Triumph Stag. Some of the side roof metal would be reshapped retained with windows, but the centre section would be the vinyl roof top , electrically operated gluiding inside tracks. Good luck 🤞
