Said it before, I'll say it again. The music on its own makes this channel unique. But so does the art you make. And so do the people. How unique can you get? Three times 100% is still 100%. Keep at it. 🎵🎶🎵👍
Thanks Jim for the great music. Being American you show cars I’ve never seen before I’m finding them interesting and then you put them in an enjoyable motor head video . Thanks Bryan
Your videos just get better and better....really varied content, creative editing and excellent music from Jim Hammond. Many thanks for all your creative skill and effort, much appreciated.
Loved every minute of the video so many projects so many restorations great music your a one off man for sure just keep them coming love every one thanks.
Its midnite here in Idaho and had to check this vid. . Lots a irons in the fire mate. New Tonneau & folding hood looks excellent 👍, that French car was Swankee for sure. And that T... oh man thats a Relic😂🤣😂. Good times in the Oak Swamp brother🔧🛠️🔨🤙🤙🏁🏁🏁 Great friends for shore. Let er rip! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hi Brian, when you have built the single seater do you plan any hillclimbs or will it be for road use .? Really enjoying all your projects. Cheers Will
I've just discovered your channel, and it's like stepping into a fantasy world of fantastic cars, people,music and great editing. Well done. I'm now a subscriber.
A smashing vid mate! So much great stuff! So glad to see the panhard properly, it’s a looker. Neils Ford was great to see, he was having great fun! The tonneau’s look great, really finish the cars and super practical, making the cars so much easier to live with all year round (and quality!). Loving all the small bits of content, you are spinning a lot of plates! Bye bye to Rat, will be very much missed. But, much more fun to be had! Have a great week dude!
Hey bud lm going through a rough bit of my life, but in the US they made a pickup bed for the model T roadster I contained quick change mounting set up you would remove the picnic box and put on the small p-u bed when it was needed, it was very easy to change back and forth, this is the true birth of the american pickup and it caught on immediately and changed the entire world 🌎 as far utility? But that year make and model was the first ! Small work truck ever conceived 😊 can you guess I am a Ford man? In my youth I was a certified Ford mechanic and parts manager! The older we get the better we were!!!🤠
Thanks for such an action packed video. Really liked the T and many people in the States think a Panhard is just a bar and don’t know it was a car, cheers!
Don't know why this was recommended to me but glad it was, what a great character you have , you earned a subscriber. Keep them coming. My late Dad was a Postie and drove a Commer, he used to pick me up from school in it when he pulled up the other kids were all over it , happy memories of simpler times and leaded petrol which was like a drug to me I loved the smell of it , I was a weird kid.
hahahahah we are all still weird mate ....the smell of cars really talks to me , the algorithm was the fella who showed you my video and im glad he did welcome brother
Fantastic Bryan! Love Neal’s enthusiasm for his model t and life in general…. Man your not afraid at cracking into projects mate haha, look forward to seeing them come to fruition cheers
That was just brilliant Bryan! So much going on, and great music from Jim. Greg has owned that James since he was 17, he told me. I am restoring a 10' rowing boat he's given me. The Model T, wow, amazing. Baking food on the engine! That made me laugh. But I used to warm up pasties on the engine of a 360 digger when I did tree planting. All the best. Nick.
Awesome episode as always, the van will be great! Don't know if you follow many other channels but Scott at @coldwar motors here in Canada has French cars as well as model t content as well as his other old cars. Episode with model t racing recently. Looking forward to what happens next.
Now I'm really interested to hear you say that making a bracket takes 3 goes. I am just the same - if I'm lucky - but I watch your highly entertaining videos and marvel at how, just by eye seemingly, you make a bracket in one go! Well I used to, but not now having found out that you are completely normal! Keep on giving us all such pleasure.
Hello, just a quick hello from Belgium to tell you that I'm very admiring of everything you're doing, and we could even sing a song by an Italian singer called PAOLO CONTE, it's called ‘VIA CON TE’ and it's especially the chorus that you should listen to, especially for the Austin 10 rat, but for the other conversions too. I've already watched all your videos on RUclips at least 5 times. Keep it up, it's so nice to watch people as creative as you. Every month I wait with great impatience for the new video you're going to put online. Anyway, good luck with your future projects and see you soon on youtube. Happy Sunday 8 September 2024 Thierry P.S. I'm sorry about my English, but it's what I have left from my studies more or less 55 years ago.👍👍👍👍👍
Are you going to miss the Rat? I really like it and the whole build. The Leaf will be a good replacement. Great video and music - keep up the great work.
Wow, that was one heck of a tour round the Swamp! My mother had an identical PL17 back in the late 60s 185 AXP. Great cars, if little temperamental. Sad to see the Rat go, but there's the Leaf and a Commer waiting for a resurrection... Can't wait to see what comes next!
The Panhard PL 17 was a treat to see. Beautiful. The French had a flair for style. French curves, I call it. Love the way you muscled the engine into the Commer. There's more than one way to skin a a wing. As the say in the airplane business.
Another Banger my friend!!! I love that little truck thing...I need one of those. I think everyone needs one of those....lol...I have a model T transmission I was going to mate to my opposed twin BMW engine For my 1928 Morgan but that crash box is just such a dream to shift...yeah I am using an MG 4 speed manual....
Loads of content as per & sad to say bye to the Rat, but the tonneau looks really great on the Leaf , rusty Comma with a straight 6 absolutely smashin 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
That Panhard is amazing! Love Jim’s music too. If you didn’t know, the inlet manifold for the Triumph 2000 was canted slightly to compensate for the engine being mounted at an angle. So if you fit the engine level, the carbs will sit at an angle and could mean the floats / fuel metering don’t work properly.
The Commer was cool cut down. Would look cool as a mini Brakedown rig. Some tubular set up. With sides Done in tube and light bar. Great video and music. Cheers👍👍. Have a good week mate…
25 mile shake down run in my 2 seater this morning - then back to this your latest video and the wife's doing a deluxe spag bog this evening - life just can't get any better!
@@oakswamp Nothing very special I'm afraid - It's was built in the style of an MG J2 about 35 years ago with Herald engine, running gear, etc and rebuilt by myself over the last 10 years.
@@oakswamp It's a real pleasure to drive. I've put it on 15" wires which has raised the gearing, improved the ride and looks more the part. Some problems with petrol cooking on hot days this summer which I've overcome with various 'Oak Swamp' type fixes i.e. heat shield fashioned from an old oil can, heat barrier gasket from a bit of underfloor heating material, etc.. All good fun - Thanks for asking
I had 2 of these back in the mid 80's they were always breaking down. From NZ I always joked I had 10 Commodore's an Australian sedan car made by Holden. Each commer had 5 doors ie 10 commer doors
My dad told me that when he was really young that my grandfather had a Ford Model T. There was a very steep hill that would cause fuel starvation. He said that grandpa would back up the hill in reverse.
The Panhard is beautiful, the wipers on the Renault Alpine A310 move in the same mismatched unison, very interesting to watch them trying to catch each other..
Loving the Commer Bryan, an awesome project in the making. Any chance of getting Jim to pop over one weekend and give us a soundtrack to swing our spanners to lol !!
Lots of stuff covered this week. The Commer should be a cool piece of kit that can earn its keep. It was nice to see Jim's 'Shiney' Panhard too. Music as ever was just so right. As ever such great editing Bry you are a very talented dude.
Had one of those Commer vans once, about a year old. Used for carrying two motorcycles to race meetings. It was the most awkward , sluggish, gutless van we ever had, plus it handled like the proverbial camel. Soon went back to Ford Transits. But maybe a 6 cylinder motor would have made the difference.
I have just found you & subscribed. Awesomeness! I wish I was there in the U.K. & not in the “Nanny State” of Queensland/ Kingsland her in Awstawyla! We’d get so much more done, with more fun.
I do belive you can start referring to yourself, as the, "Oak Swamp Car Company" ...If you dig around on the Web you can find pictures of "Stone Mountain" in Georgia, with a line of Model T's all backing up the mountainon a sunny day. This is because of the "gravity feed" fuel system..It was perfectly normal to stop, turn around, and proceed up a steep hill in reverse...Laws were more practical back then..LOL...Well done as always! ..I look forward every weekend to your video's!!! ..I think, with your editing skills, you could easily get a "Cable TV" show!!! You should submit you "work" to the BBC, who knows, you could use the extra cash to "upgrade" your shop and make it easier on your old self..LOL..👍👍👍😁🗽🇺🇸
Hey Brother fantastic episode as always a bet each way with you , Is it the man who dies with the most projects wins 😉 Dont go anywhere dude we all need some closure 👍
You are so lucky that the Morris 8 bonnet was (pretty much) the same profile, thus making it fit the "Leaf" was not such a huge task. Well done. I'm assuming you have plans to eventually compete the Austin Big 7 Monoposto? Prescott maybe? We are all waiting for the big reveal.
You got me on that Commer FC, I thought "he managed to find some Aussie spec one of them with a slant six Chrysler engine" (well they did have Bedford CFs with sixes and even V8s downunder)... It's a sound idea though and certainly cheaper than getting a Holbay 1725 unit lol.
@@oakswamp I'm actually from Austria (where we have only one Kangaroo but many apfelstrudels) but visited Oz back in 1987, so saw some of these "weird" versions - no clue whether Chrysler Oz did any official conversion on the old Commer but Aussies would modify anything, particularly after the original engine blew up and was expensive to replace!
yoooo mate, where the heck do you find all that energie? You are working on 3 cars at the same time... Glad to see you friday for a funny weekend @ Beaulieu👍 I'll give you a call shortly
