A couple months ago, Vic over at @FunctionalHistories approached me about getting involved with a project that would involve multiple YouTube channels and a broken car traveling thousands of miles across the country from Washington state to Dayton, Ohio. It sounded absolutely nuts. So yeah, I’m in – and thus, Project Stone Soup was born.
Donated to Vic by Scott at @heavensmopars , this Lancer is – as you can see – more than a little rough. My place (and also @rocketresto ) will be the first step in the car’s long journey. For my part, I’d like to get the car running and movable – and that will also include donating a few parts from my mountain of junk. So let’s find out what we’ve got to work with here. Scott informed me that the slant six is seized, so that sounds like a good place to start.

I heard that the PNC endless rain is conducive to creativity such as Musicians Garage bands not unlike Nirvana….? Cheers from Toledo ohio
I've got a 170 in my '60 Valiant, that Lancer should be a hotrod with the extra 55 Cubic inches…. Thanks Jamie, this was a great episode!
Try country boy gas garage. Hes in Oregon.
My favorite temporary headliner repair tool is magnets…. They never fail.. 😉
Is that some what Like a new yorker
You are quite the trooper fighting all that steady rain to get this video finished. I see what they say about Washington state and rain is very true.
Ya know Jamie l really get a kick out of some of your an ticks very entertaining for me. Don't let the rain stop ya lol. Ya going to get those brakes working though.
"The breaks work, no they don't, never mind"
All hail the mighty leaning tower of POWER!!!!!!
I can't decide if I like that car from the b pillar back or not. Kinda cool, kinda quirky. Regardless, you gotta love the Exner years. Nothing else like them on the road.
Ah, this is the best Easter present, a 62 Lancer brought back from the dead! So weird they are awesome! And the slant six surprised me. First I thought it would be stuck and it turned over, and then I thought it probably wouldn't run, and it ran. Never underestimate the leaning tower of power.
I always thought the 2 doors were the weirdest of the weird – both the hardtop and the sedan had the separate little rear quarter window. But I guess if you are going weird you might as well go all the way.
Your channel is great. Really enjoy watching the stuff that you do.
WHY?! WHY?! the power wagon!?
The floor pan in that car is nearly as bad as the one in the LeMans on the Pole Barn Garage channel. Meaning their really isn't one….
