Featuring Classic cars spanning 123 years of automotive art and design. These autos can be viewed by a private tour at
Studio 127 in Greenville Ohio USA.
To schedule a private tour contact Klepsgarage@gmail.com
We will also feature a Subscribers car and talk about features and history of their classic car.
This channel was started because my two boys were board in the year 2020 (you know why) We are still making videos because it's been a great father son bonding and we are still having fun making these.
I find, restore/maintain and drive cars as a hobby. This is not my means of an income. Once in a great while I will sell something, but not very often. Just like playing with antique cars and trucks and passing along some things I have learned over the years.
This channel is for your "enjoyment only" and is not meant for you to learn a degree in mechanics. You do things your way and I'll do things my way.

A smalltown hero is returned after 80 years. Harley Alexander was in the US Navy patrolling the English Channel when his ship hit a land mind. Divers recovered his remains and recently through DNA he was identified to his family. Kleps Garage pays tribute his return home and provided a needed welcome as our hometown let's say wasn't too enthusiastic. Helping today is Austin, his youtube channel...

I’m interested in your oem powered plant that come from this Jeep, !!!?? Do you still have it , thanks BigAl California just subscribed to see some more Jeep things, thanks BigAl California.
No engine. Thx for watching
I think the Chevy if one is going for distance wanting to carry stuff plus that motor may have a oil pump. Ford for simplicity and short distance just has scoop and splash oiling. Thanks for the presentation !
Does have more storage. Think engine is pressure to mains. But dip rods. Could be wrong being awhile since I had one apart. Thx for watching
Chevy out sold Ford but they were not very well built and did not run or last as long. Be hard pressed to find many 30's Chevy's now days.
Think they only made 1200 Chevy Landau. So yes rare to see a Chevy. Thx for watching
Igor says Hello to Erick the mascot!!!
no wood in ford id take the ford
I have a 31 Ford Slant Window Sedan, daily drive her gets 16MPG city, have installed the 3:54 rear Mitchel Overdrive, cast iron drums, 35 Fiord Wheel 16" radial tires and front and rear panard bars, plus high 5.6 head, runs absolutely great i rebuild entire car plus restored about 5 Model As, I do like the Chevys but too much wood, my 31 is all steel except the roof and that is the reason for all the Model As still around the old Chevys just rotted away 😂
Great driver setup you have there I have a roadster with similar set up thanks for watching
My understanding is that one of the basic differences between the Chevy and Ford was that Ford built the A with a steel body while Chevy used wood with steel strips. The Chevy’s were prone to rot out while the Fords were more durable. You may want to explore these car’s construction and body’s.
You are correct and the Ford proved to be more durable over the last hundred years than the Chevy.
Interesting that the Ford 4-cylinder was faster than the Chevy 6.
Thought the same. But the A is faster. thx 4 watching
Was the Chevy a wooden frame body ?
Yes. Thx 4 watching
Agreed thanks for watching.
siempre autos de chasis corto se ven mejor en 2 puertas
Agreed thank you for watching.
Yep. The Lincoln. Thanks for the videos! Always enjoy seeing the real America.
thx for watching. 🙏🏻
Speaking of drilling a hole in the dash of the A. Reminds me of a fella drilling a hole in the trunk of a limo to drain the condensate water from the rear ac.
Now who. Would do a thing like that. 😂😂😂😎. Me.
What a beautiful ride! Ford needs to go back to make fun affordable cars and cool they should call you to save the company.
@@jameskearney3789 yeah what he said. I could do it.
Great video, not many Chevy's survived, rotten wood, doors fell off, etc
Correct. Thx for watching
Got a childhood soft spot for late '30s and 40's Chevrolet trucks - but nothing beats a Model A. Brass T's are pretty good too though.
Agreed. Thx for watching
Great program per usual! So Bruce, which one do you like better?
The Lincoln. Really don’t have a favorite whatever I’m driving is my favorite. Thx.
35:43 wonderful cars as always, I love them both the Chevy has the style award. I am a Ford fan . All is fine in the wilderness, looking forward to next video be well.
Hey Jim. Where you been. Love your comments. I like all cars that’s why I have so many 😂😂🤔 cheers.
Keep up the good work Bruce! Cheers
Thx man. You to. Cheers.
What's the speed in Honda high, Jeep high and high range? What's top speed in four wheel drive? If you don't blow it up.
70 mph. flat out.
@@KlepsGarage Is the Jeep transmission holding it back. Of course you have more torque than you'll ever need.
With the Jeep transmission, Isn't torque the only thing added? Added at the cost of rpms?
No gear ratio. 5:38 to 1 final drive. That’s why Honda. Jeep 4000 redline. Honda 8k redline. Could go up Mt. Everest
Would say rpm’s make it run faster than stock. Tach is 4800 at 55mph.
I hate how Crotch Rockets and Fart Cars sound, but it sounds almost like the original Jeep at low RPM except like you're giving it HELL! Is it still a death trap above 50mph on the highway? I love it!
Ooh yeah drive like hell you’ll get there. Runs comfortable at 55. I don’t go over 60. But is very stable. It’s still a Jeep made for off road. Thx 4 watching.
Amazing build! Sounds so darn good.
Thank you
Too flipping cool!! Just outstanding. How did you end up with the Goldwing idea? Envious of your fab skills to make that work. Wow!
In the video I said. I had a Jeep when I was 16 or so and it was too damn slow. Couldn’t chg gear ratio. So thought higher rpm motor. Going down interstate one day at 70 mph. Got passed by a goldwing with two heavy duty peeps a side car and a trailer. Voilà goldwing engine in a Jeep. Finished the project in 1991 have over 10k miles on build with no issues. Thx 4 watching.
*EPIC* I would love to see that transferbox setup. Difficult?
At 1:24. Shows a pic of the case split open. Used Jeep transfer case gears and pro adaptors. Did scratch build case and vectored the gears. Was not a novice type build
@@KlepsGarage Would have been nice to see how the two were mated together. Watched a different video on this jeep and they didn't even have that two second pic.
I. Need to do a new vid on setup thx.
@@KlepsGarage Good looking and it sounds like a beast. I've got a 1200 out of a 84 I was thinking about building a locost, but reverse would be nice.
Yes. See 1:24 pic of inside of case.
Put the flat 6 1500 in one.
I thought about putting that in a two wheel drive car to get good gas mileage
Damn, makes me wish I had kept my Goldwing and my Cj-2a
make something out of nothing. Thanks for watching
That is not a 75 limousine. The limousine had a partition between the front and back compartments. Cadillac referred to it as the series 75 nine passenger sedan
I believed I called it a nine passenger family car, but I converted it to a limousine to haul weddings. Thx for watching.
I have to say I never thought the Gold wing Motor would have so much Power , You did a Great restore. God Bless
Thank you 🙏🏻. And thx for watching
He’s geared the heck out of this thing. I think I heard 33 forward gears😮
@@ShaunHensley That's because of the two transactions
@@MrTomjolly yes
Buddy, that thing is wicked awesome 👌 Y'all did a good job on all of it!!
Thank you 🙏🏻. It is a lot of fun. Thx for watching
@@KlepsGarage Yessir, you're welcome. I bet it is! Now you've got me thinking of what I can build with a Goldwing engine! 😂
Good luck and have fun doing it.
Looks great and sounds awesome.
Thank you. 😎 thx for watching!
Considering this was built during the brass era and there's nothing brass on it it's a shame it's missing so many pieces
I show a pic of the car together with brass lights horn carbide tank. All was taken off to race.
You'll probably enjoy a 1500 6 cylinder Honda Goldwing with the gearbox lopped off, a new sump made and then mated to a Subaru Leone FWD transaxle mounted in the rear of a Hillman Imp in New Zealand..... with a Porsche sound and a blog showing the whole process.. and custom fuel injection fitted as well..
Think I’ve seen that vid. Cool mod.
Do you have drum brakes or discs
Drum. Original. Keep Jeep stock except for motor.
@@KlepsGarage that’s super cool 😎 that sounds awesome 😎
I'm going to be different and confuse things. It's neither. It's a hybrid. It is built like, and functions like an automatic, but it still needs to manually controlled to go between the two forward gears. That being said, I wish I had a beautiful, calm, peaceful old road to drive mine on like you do! :)
Yes an automatic that requires involvement. Thx for watching. I am blessed with roads less traveled.
Thank fuk for subtitles,,, That way I can watch the video, know what's going on, without having to listen to his immature sounding Septic Tank Voice. IMO. Kleps Garage??? What about Craps Garage. FFS
"Any clearance is enough clearance." Nice parking job! Cheers Bruce. 🍺
Thx man. People always ask how I park them. So. I showed them.
The BIG question is, how easily does the clutch slip. Guessing it'll be fine OTR, but no good for climbing.
No slipping. Have logged over 10,000 miles and some serious off roading. Thx
Put the 4 brush conversion starter in it. Makes it turn over like it has no compression
What year bike is that off of
1977. 1000cc
You have a model T that has been parked for 15 years?!?!?! Sell it to me! I'll give it some honest to God use!
There are plenty out there for you to drive 😎
Good video. Looks like you were having fun. Driving in England is a bit more of a challenge. There is traffic everywhere and they are not very accommodating when you drive an old car. Sunday mornings work best 😊😊
@@Casterton-Vintage thx for watching. We have a lot of back roads. Easy to get away from traffic.
I have an old lamp that I had thought was from an early model T But I was told that it may be from an 1892 Panhard.,,,🤔
Send a pic. To klepsgarage@gmail.com. I’ll see if I can guess.
@@KlepsGarage ok 🙂
Did you? Get the email
0:52 why is the buick wearing shoes 😃😅😂🤣
Knee protectors if you have ever walked by a car with frame horns sticking out and whacked you knee you will put something over them to.
It’s a runner 😂😂😂😂
@@KlepsGarage Thats a good idea
Great show Bruce! Sorry your corn didn't get very tall this year... 😁
Thx for watching. I’m not a farmer so it doesn’t affect me directly.
@@KlepsGarage Fortunately I'm not afflicted with farming either.
Great video and it was a great time!
Thx man
thx, great cars, love them all !
Glad you liked it thx for watching
Wow thanks for that!!!!
Thank you for watching glad you liked it. 😎
Why don't you drive it? Although mine is a reproduction built in 1952, My car has several thousands of miles on it from driving it all over northern California to a Trip from redding Ca. to Branson, Missouri and all over around the small towns there as well as in the St. Joseph, Missouri area and towns along the tour all along the trip.
@@BitterDemo I do drive it. But not like you do. Mine is more of a museum piece and is believed to be a very early one. I don’t want crash or break something that is Irreplaceable. 😎 today’s traffic is not like 100 years ago wouldn’t you agree. Thx. 😊
Correction: the 1976 Buick Estate Wagon did have optional auto climate control as an option. My uncle had a ‘76 with every option including auto a/c.
Thx. And Thx for watching
My father, back in 1970's worked for USAF on R&M Activity (surplus) and they had instructions not to sell WW2 and later M38 jeeps to civilians because they had a notorious reputation for tipping over and the Air Force didn't want the litigation.
@@clivewilliams3661 yep. This one snuck through. It is a legit M38. Made to goto Korea. 1950 to 1952. I bought it as a parts Jeep. As most parts were missing. Ergo the decision to do the motorcycle swap.
Tears were shed that cold morning in late 1977 when Dad backed "Big Blue Brenda" out of the garage for the last time. She was a 1972 Pontiac Grand Safari, Cumberland blue with blue interior and 455 4-barrel under the hood. With papoose #5 on the way (and two more to follow over the next five years), the time came to trade in Mom's beloved '66 Mercury Monterey hardtop coupe. Mom had here eye on the Mercury Colony Park (Dad was a "Mercury Man" at the time) but when they visited the Pontiac dealer, Brenda caught their eye. She was ordered for a customer with rally wheels and without the woodgrain siding but for reasons untold the customer did not take delivery. Between the sporty styling and attractive offer by the dealer, they couldn't resist and took Brenda home that afternoon. I still remember being in the yard when she first pulled into our driveway. We spent the first day amazed by the tailgate and I remember my older brothers climbing under the car to see where the tailgate went. It came in handy when loading up the week's groceries at the Pantry Pride and we kids thought we were such hot stuff at school dropoff because we had such a nice car. She hauled us from our family home in Easton PA to visit friends and family in West Virginia, New Hampshire and Long Island, to our regular weekends in Rehoboth Beach and the Jersey Shore, and family vacations out west, up to Canada and down to bayou country to visit our relatives in Louisiana. He vast interior could swallow whatever project Dad was working on and in one particular emergency situation, we squeezed in 13 cub scouts and two nerve-rattled den mothers. My permanent perch was the back "rumble seat" and I loved being able to see what everybody else in the car was doing. But the time came for a new car and Dad stuck with General Motors, replacing Brenda with an Olds Custom Cruiser. It was a very nice car, more luxurious with its velour seating, and easier for Mom to park, but it didn't have Brenda's personality and we never bothered to give it a name. As the older kids went off to college, I graduated to the middle seat and left little brothers Scotty and Nick to the back row. For some time I looked for Brenda in traffic but she was never seen again.
