prewar car madness 'a year at the swamp'
Well, that was damn good. Ciao.
Neil’s T is a sweet ride. The Leaf looks like a great ride. You build like we do, using what is handy in all kinds of weather. I built two rats outdoors with a single bay garage as shop space. A guy doesn’t need a frame table either, level concrete and a framing square is all. Cheers brother
Great video and Leaf build. The Jumble was fun, cool seeing a swap meet and show across the pond from us. Cheers from snowy Denver, CO
Please mention if you start shipping internationally. Tried to buy the Hammond albums and was met by angry red, refusal text. That aside, loving the channel. Cheers from Too-Far-Away.
🤙🤙🏁🏁🏁 Cheers brother... Happy Holidays 🎄🛠️🔨🎄
Hope you are feeling better mate, glad to see the outtakes making a reappearance.
Most personality and best music on youtube...
Nice work 👍
The biggest challenge must be getting rat vehicles road legal . Ingenuity is brilliant though...cheers , DAVE H.
Hope your feeling better👍💪about time another video appeared😱🤪👍💪
Great video, and thanks for the shout out! Love to Ady and Frank.
cheers dude...pleasure
Your editing is making me look bad dude!!! Another excellent episode Bryan - 👌
hahahah sorry mate
Nothing like having a ratty car and picking up a pretty gal.😊
hahahah Sas will like that comment !
Lovin' the Leaf more and more as it matures. Great editing with the flashing and banging in step with Jim's tunes. 🙂
cheers mate ....I am too , its never been a funky build ..more on being reliable and comfy ...but the more I look at it...
Love the cardboard templates - 'Shreddies Packet Engineering' I call it.
CAD designing , ( cardboard assisted design)
hahahhaha we all do it
Throw in the cats,and you might have something
hahahahh
24mph? That T is the ideal car for Wales!
wouldnt make it up the hills !!! hahaha
@oakswamp Would be fun trying!
Bunch of guys playing with their toy's.looks like fun😊
it is exactly that ....cheers
Its hard work building a car like this, even harder doing it outdoors in a British winter when your recovering from Covid. This aint cheap reality TV, this is reality. The guy deserves a standing ovation.
thanks Steve
Great stuff......
Thanks!
ironically the Lanoguard ad comes up before the vid LOL
hahahah
Thanks Jim for the music. To what extent are you going to take your body work ? It’s always good to see Neil . Thanks Bryan
I just want to get it whole and tight to be honest ...I wont be doing much more than that, no painting ...frog oil is all hahaha
@ Frog oil should be enough
👍👍👍
thanks !
You know you have a good lady when she will jump in something like that with no hesitation 😎👍
hahaha she loves it , although shes slightly concerned about her driving with the centre throttle !
I bet she is ... If you want to have some fun with your friends swap the steering on a riding lawnmower to go right when ya turn left. Then make a short obstacle course of left and right turns . You will need a box of bandaids 😎👍
Ello bloke. Love your life. Great vids... its not worth watching anything else, really. Cheers.👊
cheers mate !
Just ordered my birthday present to me... two Oak Swamp T shirts, I kept meaning to, but like a typical male, I kept putting it off! Tus done! I achieved something...I'm off for a nice smoke to celebrate!
brilliant ! thank you very much
_Mugs the cat!_
hahahahah
you make my (sun)day mate, glad you're better now. The leaf will be a smoot and nice roadster, ready to travel around from Britain to the south of France and back again 😁. Lots of fun ahead bro Cheers from "la douce France"
cheers bro....hope you guys are good ? talk soon !
Hey Bry, great ep! Backfire scratching! Lovely to see the love birds out in the Leaf😁 great music as ever and Neil at the T as a bonus! Great job on the Leaf, really taking shape! Hope the Covid completely goes and the weather treats you well👍
cheers Boyd ...all good in the hood now and looking forward to shaking down the leaf ! cheers bro
Such a lovely laid back a d therapeutic watch, thank you🤓
thanks...Glad you enjoyed it
Pleased to see the starting probs have been ironed out. I have to compliment you on the welding of the engine mounts: very neat looking beads. I always thought it was Laurel and Hardy that were funny, turns out it was always the Model T they drove, ha, ha.
hahahah I think you are right! Suzi is getting there ...thanks Dale
Brilliant fun as always - keep it comming 👍
Thanks, will do!
Belated Hippy Burpday, loved the start sequence, another great video
cheers Bri.....had a lovely birthday ,all my kids round ...awesome ...thanks mate
👍🤗👌👌👌❤
👊
Hope you're feeling better. Coming along nicely!
all good in the hood now thanks mate
By the way I have one of those murex welders and they are extremely good ! What gas are you using ?
like argon shield but someone else
Would think that welder should be the dogs bollocks ! wonder if it’s the gas ? On an other thought it should be very good on aluminium, with pure argon and spool gun 👍 , another really good welder is a portamig if you come across one for thin metal 👍
When you going to chop the model t ? You two are sat up there like peas on a drum 😁 go on down the body and lower the seating position, and stick a standard pedal box in before Neil kills someone ! Only messing 😜 ps under ware probably a good idea ! But. I would request you go to British flat caps, instead of America style baseball caps, would be more in keeping, the old waxed flat cap look 😁👍 I know do one 😝
hahahaha cheer mate ....Neil loves it up there in the clouds🤣
You want to swap your teeth for an other set them ones you got in seam to be giving you some bother . Cant you grind them down a bit haha sweet vid bry please keep them coming well entertaining
hahahah cheers Martin
super
cheers
The back of the Leaf is very similar to my '26 T Coupe (with '56 Chrysler Hemi). Both good and bad building memories! Love the ride in the Model T....keep on laughing.....
cheers mate ...yes its a bit turtle deck like isnt it
Very nice!!! Looking good!!! Loved the ride in the "T"
cheers bro ...T's are so so funny we laughed the whole time
Nice work on the nuclear bomb proof engine mounts and that bit of bodywork makes a world of difference too.could do with an episode every sunday though.....cheers me up no end!!!😮
thanks bro...will be going weeky after xmas i think mate , new project and all
Outtakes are hysterical!
hahaha cheers
Happy that clutch issue sorted..Suzi sounding much better too
clutch was a warning to change linkage which was good ...yes suzi is running sweet ...cheers bro
God, that was such fun! Laughter is so infectious and the Model T seems to generate a lot of it!
hahah thanks, indeed it does
@@oakswamp Now Bryan, we get the same when we take our 1937 Leyland Cub fire engine, Betsy, out in North Lincs. Loads of folk waving and kids love it when we wave back and ring the bell. We always have a good laugh on her too. But, hey, what happens on Betsy.....stays on Betsy!
Sunday morning bliss, bacon sarnie, tea and Oak Swamp. Great to get back to fabrication and messing about after the Brill French jollys. Love the stencil on the Commer door.👍
thanks mate its good to be back at it !
nearly at 10,000 now mate well done mate , getting hot in australia now , you must be cold
cheers bro...lucky bugger its miserable here now🌧️
Great episode as always Bryan. I really need to stop messing around with 70s Triumphs and get on with building something like this!
no time like the present dude ....cheers
Ramming Speed , all loose flaps secured, i'm going in (well it is sunday morning ! )
hahahahah
I'll be smiling all week now. 😂
