U r one hell of a guy not to many people fell the need to teach people how to do what u do and here u r teaching thousands of people thank you for sharing your life with us
I just hope he doesn’t get any ideas about painting it. It would be a shame to hide all that bodywork that he has done. Car builders would love to see it
It is good to see John working on the front brakes. He seems to know his way around the mechanical brake system. As usual Chad is doing a great job on steering modifications. Great camera work Jolene. Hi Fina. Bill
Mechanical breaks require a lot of pedal force to make them work. The longer the break pedal the greater the pressure can be exerted to the break pads. A long moment arm (long break pedel) is needed to use mechanical breaks or a 225 lb strong person driving. The rear hydraulic breaks system should stop the car but could go into a skid real easy.
@@joepacheco4038 All I hear from you is negative comments so why don’t you just not watch or as most people were taught when they young. If you can’t say something nice don’t say anything at all.🙄
We should have a contest picking a name for the car and the Hauler. It’s Jolene’s car so she could pick the winner. I’d love to win a hat signed by Jolene
I wonder how the body is going to come off without removing the entire steering assembly. I think it would be a lot less work to attach the cross brace across the top of the steering shaft.
Not only do i love watching the fabrication side of the build the mechanical side of the build is just as great. Thanks Chad Jolene and John and FINA. Lovin the content
The racecar is coming along pretty quickly! Going to be interesting when done to see how it works! Thanks Chad and Jolene for the great videos each day! Always keeping it interesting for the fans.
@@neaveiisaac2816 this was the first time I had seen those spoked drums. I've been around car my entire life but mostly 50's and newer. I never was around too many that were earlier than that. I did drive a Model and believe it had mechanical brakes but that was a long time ago.
NHRA dragstrips have rules that forbid a solid mounted rear end on a car like this. Chad should get a copy of the tile rule book as there are many other things on the car that would not pass an NHRA tech inspection.
Haha Chad says “ it’s so quiet in here“. I wish I could’ve been there to tell him “yeah it’s because you stopped talking” lol Thank you to both of you for bringing us these videos. Jolene captures the action as good as any other professional.
Mechanical brakes !!? Cool . I assume it takes a good bit of foot pressure on the pedal to slow this rig down. I work at a bicycle shop for 23 years and I have worked on really old English bikes that have mechanical brakes using linkages instead of cables. This way there are no cables that can stretch and freeze up from corrosion. Simple and efficient. Pretty cool.
I don't think you guys understand how important you are to some people you have made my life bearable the last year I really enjoy watching these videos and taking my mind to another place thank you Chad and Jolene.
For 350.00 you could go all hydraulic,for front conversion kit from Speedway motors. A lot safer and easy install. Big benefit you get both front and rear stopping power. Just add your own master and splitter.
Thank you John for showing us how the mechanical brakes work. It was great seeing you guys working together. Awesome job showing with a camera work. To me it looks like mechanical brakes are like an emergency brake nowadays.
I'm very appreciative of the fact we're not waiting weeks or months between videos to see progress on this. Good stuff, sir. Jolene is, as always, doing a fantastic job helping you out.
I’m pretty sure the pine tree derby has the website with the rules and regulations and suggestions. Some of those old V8 flatty’s are somewhat quick and you could definitely get hurt in one even in the 8th mile. Still I’m not sure even a rollbar is required on a roadster. Might be a helmet and belt race
Hi Bad Chad! My uncle and I love your videos! Brings back alot of memories for him. We both learn so much from your uploads! Watching you work is a pleasure! Kind regards, best of health, much love and respect from South Africa 🇿🇦!
Never saw a mechanical brake set up, so I learned something new today, yes I did... ;-) I figured thee would be more talking from the guys, but they just did their things...
They are not very good brakes but it beats draging your foot! I hope you guys have a blast with it. I love your passion. Thanks for sharing. Steve in Texas.
Jolene does just a great job doesn’t she John!! It’s important to her and it shows. And she just keeps getting better! I hope Chad doesn’t get burnt out too soon. He’s in amazing shape for his age and I hope he stays that way.
When I was a kid, we bought a shop in Tyler Texas and a side stall was filled from top to bottom with brand new mobile home wheels and tires. The wheels were held on like the front wheels on this race car. However, they were oddball 14.5" wheels/tires. The guys next door had an ornamental iron works and they owned and built hotrod VWs on the side and they had VW centers welded into some of these rims and all of their Baja Bugs had 14.5" trailer tires. It was a hoot. They had some that were just floor pans with a hoop to hold the steering column and we'd drive them (even though not street legal) to Kilgore on a beer run (Smith County was a dry county).
Another great episode. Love watching John work, very methodical and knowledgeable. The racecar and truck have made great projects. Chads enthusiasm and Jolenes filming make for a great hour. Oh yes Fina looked so comfy asleep in bed in the midst of it all.
I think it's crazy that back then they didn't make a full hug that covered the brake shoes. You guys are doing a fantastic job on the race car. Keep up the great work and God Bless you guys and your families.
I don't want to critesise but I'm not sure about the pitman arm
Mechanical brakes on a race car. You love her don't you?
Mechanical brakes and no rear suspension, not a recipe for success my dude.
Rear end has juice brakes, ain’t sure how to do mechanical frt and hydraulic rear.
U r one hell of a guy not to many people fell the need to teach people how to do what u do and here u r teaching thousands of people thank you for sharing your life with us
I wish she would take that damn door off though before he gets hurt
I'm 76 and watching downtown John knead the grease into the bearings, brought back Remberences of my dad teaching me how to grease bearings.
Getting closer to race day each day! Chad's having fun building it his way ! IT'S CALLED FREEDOM👀👍👍🏻🧢
Watching from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
My husband and I watch every episode !! Thanks Joelene for the great filming 👍
cool race car!
on the homeward straight now and its looking good
I just hope he doesn’t get any ideas about painting it. It would be a shame to hide all that bodywork that he has done. Car builders would love to see it
Be interesting to see how mechanical front and hydŕaulic rear brakes work, loving this build
Another saturday night movie experience refreshing memories working on old junk.
It is good to see John working on the front brakes. He seems to know his way around the mechanical brake system. As usual Chad is doing a great job on steering modifications. Great camera work Jolene. Hi Fina. Bill
those brakes, my first disappointment ......Bennie
Name the car. O.S.H.A
Back for another fun Saturday
Love watching and learning new things. Never saw mechanical brakes before. Thanks for the hard work you two

A long moment arm (long break pedel) is needed to use mechanical breaks or a 225 lb strong person driving. The rear hydraulic breaks system should stop the car but could go into a skid real easy.
I don’t think he will use the rear brakes. That would require rigging up a master cylinder. Pretty sure that’s beyond the scope of this project
@@i8ntnuts It's gonna take some real riggin to hook up those mechanical front breaks too!
@@joepacheco4038
All I hear from you is negative comments so why don’t you just not watch or as most people were taught when they young. If you can’t say something nice don’t say anything at all.🙄
@@leosimon9463 This isn't about negativity this is about safety pure and simple.

Is your name Joe Pacheco
Jolene and Chad, you guys are doing a great job on the videos and car projects. Keep on keeping on.
Nice to see work being done on the brakes.Fina looking relaxed in her bed !!
I think it’s so cool that Fina hangs around. They obviously love her and treat her right. I wonder how old she is
When it's all together it will be 3 tons of fun.
We should have a contest picking a name for the car and the Hauler.
It’s Jolene’s car so she could pick the winner. I’d love to win a hat signed by Jolene
@@i8ntnuts good Idea. Email Jolene and pose the? To her the Lady might just be up for that.
We'll learn something today like all of Chad and Jolene's videos.
Chad has taught. me a lot.
I’m glad he will be getting some help
Moving forward with this. It will be ready for a test run soon. Thanks for the video
Whoop Whoop another great day working on the hup. Thanks guys for a show ... Keep up the good work!
I get to see you guys work in real time. Enjoying your videos with you and Jolene
It’s not always easy to put on a U-bolt. Be patient he will get it
John knows how to grease a wheel bearing! I can smell that grease!
I wonder how the body is going to come off without removing the entire steering assembly. I think it would be a lot less work to attach the cross brace across the top of the steering shaft.
Always something to learn.
Why would you not want to rebuild the brakes with new components given the age and condition, for safety. Cost is minimal
Definetly in my top 3 episodes you have doen, no talking, no bs, just building, cool cool cool
Wow it's time to make it whoa watching from ohio
working today. I feel like I need a nap already.....lol keep the videos coming. I watch on youtube and FB.
Project is coming along quite nicely !! Nice to see you have a helping hand today
I'm so excited to see Jolene racing.
Learn something everyday ...enjoy the show ..You Guys are great..Thanks
Not only do i love watching the fabrication side of the build the mechanical side of the build is just as great. Thanks Chad Jolene and John and FINA. Lovin the content

Reminds me of when i had to repair the brakes on my 34 back in 1960.
I always liked those spoked drums.
@@neaveiisaac2816 this was the first time I had seen those spoked drums. I've been around car my entire life but mostly 50's and newer. I never was around too many that were earlier than that. I did drive a Model and believe it had mechanical brakes but that was a long time ago.
Make sure the brakes work good… don’t care how fast a car is. If you can’t stop it, it ain’t worth driving
I remember the 57 Chevy half ton pick up front axle bolted right up to my 37 Chevy Coupe.
I just can not get enough of this , Love it , thank you for the knowledge and hard work the both of you do for us
Happy to see John back in the shop.
Awesome job guys👍👍👍
NHRA dragstrips have rules that forbid a solid mounted rear end on a car like this.
Chad should get a copy of the tile rule book as there are many other things on the car that would not pass an NHRA tech inspection.
It’s a sanctioned race?
Yes.
It is sanctioned race st an NHRA track with a full tech inspection.
The NHRA does not fool around with safety matters due to insurance risks.
@@gerryk8644 Unfortunately you are correct.
Seeing that car on the jack stands foreshadows the wheelie Jolene is going to pull when the tree goes green!
I can’t wait to hear that six banger screaming down the track. No telling how fast it will spin. Five, six, maybe even seven RPH
Those 101 octogenarian horses will be lucky to squeak the tires without a good feed of nitrous oatxide! 😉
Going to be a lot of chat today with mechanical brakes!!!
I like the calm pace of today's show
I love you all this videos I am curious to see if the shortened pedal length makes it harder for the clutch and brakes to be activated
Yes. And the steering will be harder also with the longer steering arm. I’m sure he tried the clutch though, like Chad says that’s only common sense
great job ,thanks for the video
Downtown John is in the house! It's time for the gasser to get some brakes!
Thanks for your regular videos Chad and Jolene. Your show and the news are the only things I watch regularly! Cheers
Haha Chad says “ it’s so quiet in here“.
I wish I could’ve been there to tell him “yeah it’s because you stopped talking” lol
Thank you to both of you for bringing us these videos. Jolene captures the action as good as any other professional.
Yup if you wanna go forward ya gotta be able to stop beats throwing out a anchor ..lol 😆
Won't be long. The race car is looking great Thanks Chad and jolene 👉⚘⚘♥️♥️😎😎😎

John, Rebuilds and cleans up and packet's the bearing's on BOLTH front Brake unit's in one Hour. Chad bolt's in one ubolt in one hour.🙈 John WIN'S.😁👍
Looking good Chad and Jolene (FINA) keep up the education.
I was thinking the same thing. It’s nice to be able to just watch him for a change. I hope he’s OK
I don't think you guys understand how important you are to some people you have made my life bearable the last year I really enjoy watching these videos and taking my mind to another place thank you Chad and Jolene.
The race car is going to be a awesome. Thanks for the video Jolene and chad 👍👍👍
For 350.00 you could go all hydraulic,for front conversion kit from Speedway motors. A lot safer and easy install. Big benefit you get both front and rear stopping power. Just add your own master and splitter.
No way is Chad gonna spend 350.00 on disc brakes man.. 😂
Down town John is in the house 👌
Thank you John for showing us how the mechanical brakes work. It was great seeing you guys working together. Awesome job showing with a camera work. To me it looks like mechanical brakes are like an emergency brake nowadays.
Hi guys, I hope your day is going well.
I'm very appreciative of the fact we're not waiting weeks or months between videos to see progress on this. Good stuff, sir. Jolene is, as always, doing a fantastic job helping you out.
Hot Rod coming along with you working on the steering and now the breaks , pretty soon Jolene! Enjoy your show.
Hi Jolene and Chad, racecars coming along great..I have enjoyed watching your channel alot. Thank you
I love the old stuff, is somehow still useable. Want have to worry about em leaking.
Hi Chad, are you going to put in a small Rollcage just to keep Jolene safe down the Track.. Regards Rusty Gold from Australia.
I’m pretty sure the pine tree derby has the website with the rules and regulations and suggestions.
Some of those old V8 flatty’s are somewhat quick and you could definitely get hurt in one even in the 8th mile. Still I’m not sure even a rollbar is required on a roadster. Might be a helmet and belt race
Wow,Never seen open brake drums like that. Thanks for showing us all that cool stuff.
Hi Bad Chad! My uncle and I love your videos! Brings back alot of memories for him. We both learn so much from your uploads! Watching you work is a pleasure! Kind regards, best of health, much love and respect from South Africa 🇿🇦!
Really coming along.
Awesome !!!
Another Chapter in the Saga of Jolene's Car . Steering ,Brakes are Getting there. Chad you and Jolene are Going to have Fun When Completed.
Really appreciate being able to watch this project. 👍👍👍
Good stuff 👏
love watching, thank you both
You are getting serious soon it will be a driver
Never saw a mechanical brake set up, so I learned something new today, yes I did... ;-) I figured thee would be more talking from the guys, but they just did their things...
You could just put a disc brake caliper & rotor on the drive shaft. Plenty of brakes then. We’ve used the setup on mud trucks for years.
John really knows his stuff, as evidence by the way he packed the bearings, wasn't his first time.
Glad to see the brakes getting done. Great shot of Fina directing all the activity.
This video was a little different, which is very interesting. I liked seeing the old style brakes.
This car is about ready to rock and roll with Joline behind the wheel. Happy racing, Joline.
They are not very good brakes but it beats draging your foot! I hope you guys have a blast with it. I love your passion. Thanks for sharing. Steve in Texas.
Another great video thanks
This is my first time watching you live! Love the community! Will be back for more for sure!
Jolene does just a great job doesn’t she John!!
It’s important to her and it shows. And she just keeps getting better!
I hope Chad doesn’t get burnt out too soon. He’s in amazing shape for his age and I hope he stays that way.
@@JohnnyMac04 well, the live chat was awesome! The community is great! I'll definitely be back for more!

can we call it the "Hupmoford"? :)
THKS, GOD BLESS .
Saturday entertainment 😎👍
This should be a real good show today . Maybe Fina will make a n apperance
Jolene is so graceful in her camera movements. Thanks Jolene ! ….where’s old dog today ?
Fina loves the sound of grinders & hammers, it puts her to sleep. 😎👍🇨🇦
Jolene is going to look great sitting behind the wheel of that car
Always a good feeling knowing that you can stop when you need to
take the front brakes off that 47/48 ford I see outside......Bennie get rid of those mechanical stuff
Nice to see you working together, looking good
Bearing greaser: palm of the hand!
Good to see the progress of the build keep up the good work
