    Hey Matt,
    Kansas had free fishing weekend yesterday and today so I got up early to head to the lake totally forgetting about the Sunday video post.
    Shame on me !
    Came home empty handed but enjoyed getting out to be with nature.
    Thank goodness for Bob Drake !
    That tank worked out like it was made for that car, Oh, It was !
    The engineers that make that stuff actually do a good job sometimes.
    That 34 is going to be such a sweet ride soon.
    Keep the great videos coming.
    Be safe and well all.

    It would have been sacrilegious to install a plastic fuel tank in the 34 Tudor I'm guessing Matt. A lot of good info for sure. I'm sure I'm not the only subscriber who can't wait to see this old beauty rolling down the highway. Y'all stay healthy and safe and cheers from an old retired coot living in Tennessee.❤️👍😷🍻✌️

    Matt, I love the attention to detail. Strange how some folks don’t have time to do it correctly the first time, they’d rather tear it all apart and do it twice. She sounds so sweet already. I can’t wait for the straight pipes. 👊☮️👍

      I'm 100% guilty of not doing it right the first time and just letting it be "good enough" but trying to be more mindful as I go these days and I knew this is one I'd regret if I didn't test it a few times before the final install.

    I really love the 34, what a great score you made. If you go back in Eastwood catalog history you can find my family passed down hot rod. The car is a 32 5 window that's channeled with bobbed fenders and no running boards. The car is a corvette yellow with red steelies and moon discs. When you see it you'll see why I like the 34 so much. Keep up the good work on all the rides, and maybe we will see you soon.

    Testing the gauge before installing the tank is a great Idea. My question is about the cut to length rod -- it slips into the plastic so easy -- twists easy, and comes back out easy -- how is that ever going to stay in place bouncing twisting turning down the road with fuel sloshing around the float ??

    At best a fuel guage is an indication there MAY be fuel in the tak.

    And that depends on earths on the instrument cluster.

    Straight pipes, growing up, it was the thing.I remember my older brother got a ticket in his '56 Chevy for straight pipes. He and his buddy tried to put steel wool in the ends of the pipes to quiet it down. No, did not work. The heat just disintegrated the wool. I remember the whole thing! You don't remember days, you remember moments. I was probably 6 or 7. Gee I wonder, is that one of the reasons why I'm a carburetor head to this day?

    of these guys now run a 3rd brake light kind of like what new cars have today on their Hot Rods ....I like the way that they did this as it really doesn't take away or look out of place.
    REASON WHY they both did this? both of my friends cars were rear ended at stop lights
    as my friend said thank God it wasn't a hard hit but he said the drivers that hit them said they didn't see the tail lights ....................just a heads up as one of my friends ,friend had his 39 Ford rear ended hard ................drivers today get used to that third brake light up high
    And I know on these old cars it's all about the cool look ,but the fellows I just told you about did a really cool way to install one on their cars to the point when not lit up you wouldn't know
    it had one installed...................as they said better then getting wrecked.

    I would want it to read 10 of the 12 gallons with one gallon above the F when full and one gallon extra when bottomed out on E. I know it's just an illusion but I like it when the tank stays full for a while after I fill it and that I can still make it to the gad station when I hit E.

    • @IronTrapGarage
      @IronTrapGarage  4 роки тому +1

      All a matter of preference. I just know that when it's close to E it's about to run out. Gauge is true to what's in the tank. Either way is fine as long as you don't run out and know the limits.

    I've got Stewart warner gauges on a 65, f100, and a problem I have, that I had with my first vehicle, a 62 ranchero, is, when your below a quarter tank, the fuel can slop in the tank and is no longer accurate, so you run for a gas station... Stewart Warner should put trip meters on the odometer guages so you can refill and reset the trip gauge... then, if your vehicle is good for 250 miles, you know, about 225, you best start looking for fuel.. ..

      We'll write the President of Stewart Warner in 1960 and ask him to make those changes :p . I work around it just like they had to do when they were using these gauges in the car back in the day. Modern gauges take care of that if you buy a new Stewart Warner gauge now I'm sure you can get an odometer as an option.

      These days, just like when I was a teen, in the 60s, I keep a 1gal can in the box of my truck...:), but, there should be a better way. Most modern vehicles have a trip gauge...
