    Great job,
    I’m 74 and near the end of my journey. Been wrenching for over 60 years. Sooo glad to see youngsters take up the challenge. In this age of planed obsolescence, just throw it away and buy a new one, it is such a joy to see you “make it work”. With every generation fewer and fewer are getting involved, keep it up, I’ll be watching every video.

    First comment was a few minutes in, this is after watching whole vid. WOW, fix the brakes, exhaust leak, get seats and windows, gas tank, and you got yourself a daily driver. You guys remind me of me and my bestie, lost him a year and a half ago. Stick together and make more vids. Thanks to both of you and your third musketeer the vid guy, and to all your buds.

    this was a lot of fun to watch guys! I've been working on a'37 Studebaker President for 11 years and i'm finally ready to assemble the engine after i have the new bearing shells line bored. this made me want it even more, especially since it looks really similar to my car

    The fact that the engine and transmission still work is a testament to simplicity and using metal where we now use plastics and synthetics. My company car (2023 Durango) had to go back to the dealer for a coolant leak at 560 miles. Yet this still drives after 80+ years. In my world, the quality in this car far surpasses even the new stuff, in many areas. Also, it brings a tear to my eye when I see you young guys still wrenching on old junk. And youre actually using box wrenches in place of battery impact guns. Merry Christmas

    The most impressive thing about this is that are bringing back what was from what is stock instead of the usual "custom" cookie cutter drop a LS into it. 51 here, but there is something better about getting the best out of the car or truck from where it was originally built as.

    Twisting wrenches. Having fun with friends. Turning the clock back on old iron. And Burgers at the end :D Sounds like my kind of time. Just finished...Well we all know nothing is ever totally finished....Just completed the major work on one of my long time projects. 1978 honda cb400t motorcycle that i restored once. Sold to someone who trashed it. Bought it back and have restored it the second time. (running restore it wears it's battle scars proudly) Next person who owns it will buy it from my estate lol. Been watching your Videos for quite a while. Always a good day when a new one pops up. Rusty wrench salute from northwestern PA.

  • @hotrodZack1948
    @hotrodZack1948 11 місяців тому

    You’ll get the master apart. Take it out, remove as much parts as possible. put it in a metal pan with parts cleaner and let it soak for a few days. Then put it on a heat pad or over the fire and get it to a boil. Remove it and then clean it and it should come apart even if you gotta take a wooden rod to the inside to get the parts out. Give it a sandblasting and hone, fresh rubber bits. good as new

    • @hotrodZack1948

      As far as the hoses you might be able to get them at Napa or online. Or even have them made at a hydraulic shop if you have one near you. Do all three and do all the brake lines and wheel cylinders as well!

    Just push the roof back up with a custom made piece of wood that matches the curve in the roof on the passenger side and a bottle jack or porta power. You can just change the shape of the wood as you go along with the push. I didn't know a 38 had an overhead valve engine.

    do you use a 12v coil when doing that? Nice to see it light up. Really enjoyed seeing the Chevy slide in the corners. Outstanding Emilia Island level body work, and tuning worthy of Le mans. You get better and better power sliding. Outstanding seats. I was hoping you had the brakes together. You might consider road tripping to Cold War Motors, because you are the next generation. You did really well with this video.
