Spent a lot of my youth wrenching on anything with a motor with my father. I learned so many things and have so many priceless memories. Seeing you doing the same with your children moves me to tears sometimes. I remember being so mad at him when i was 7 and he bought a fixerup minibike for my twin brother and myself. He wouldn't let us ride it until we completely tore it down, rebuilt it and could explan the basics of the operation of a 2 stroke motor to him... I hit that subscribe button for ya and I'm having a vyeenya for my new homies.
It's a blast watching you and the kids. I used to love working on cars until they put computers in them. I'm due to retire and watching you has inspired me to get back with it. Thanks!
MY FAMILY ENJOYED THAT VIDEO OF THE 1942 FORD WE LEARNED ALOT WITH THAT CAR ,, AND WITH YOUR GREAT FAMILY FUN...YOUR GRANDPA IS GIVING YOU GREAT CARS TO FIX..LOVE THOSE OLD PICTURES IT REMINDS US OF THAT TV SHOW IN THE 70'S CANT SAY ...THE WIFE DRIVES GREAT!!! CONGRADS!!!!! FUNNY..DONT TAKE OLD I.D. STICKERS OFF THANK'SSSS... GREAT DRESS UP. EASY CAR YOU FIXED...CHICKEN WIRE CONVERABLE.. LOVE TO HEAR THE HORN.. GREAT CAR THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hearing that car run my first thought was the Waltons. John boy's car sounded like that. Great old car. When I was a kid we went to California from Oklahoma to visit my great grandmother every other year. We went by train until my dad bought a new 1950 Chevrolet. Going through the desert almost all cars had a bag of water or two hanging from the front bumper in case the car got hot. We never had to use our water but we saw people who did.
What a car ! I runs like it was new . So fun to watch this video. My Mother told me that she drive a Model-T ones in the 50`s and she field like the Ford was driving on it`s own and she just controlled the car . She said it was not like driving any other car . She also remember that that most family's in Denmark had Model-a cars when she grow up .
The car cleaned up beautifully, new roof skin and some beauty work on the paint should be catching eyes all the way down the road! The steering box of a Model A is meant to be lubricated with a thick oil originally designated 600W (About 120-240 SAE). The grease fitting on the box really did cause some confusion back when they came off the line like that, but the manual and service bulletins specifically warn to only use 600W oil and not grease for steering box lubrication. Since the Differential, Transmission, and Steering Box all take the same thick oil, I just buy it in bulk for all three. Either 120-240 SAE from the store (Whatever your car likes best) or 600W from one of the Model A parts vendors.
Life is good in a model A. You got yourself an enclosed cabin to protect from the elements (heater optional). And you start it with a push button so you don't take out an arm cranking. And a windshield wiper too, just not an electric one.
I think Rocky is a puppy dog in a goat suit! LOL! He's a funny and amazing critter! I really enjoyed this follow up video, LOVED the drive and Kudos to Mom doing the video recording of the different car scenes! I really enjoy tagging along, as I said before. I hope you got pictures of you dressed as you were, in the car, by the car, etc.. That will be something to cherish, share and look back on, in years to come. Again, I am so proud for you and yours!
Good work! I always enjoy your videos, but you’re at your best when your wife and kids are around. And, of course, Rocky is the star of the show. Very entertaining!
She's a classy old girl, and well preserved. With the low mileage, it will run for a long time(hopefully with a new top). Great to see your old car hobby is a family affair !
Great video! Thanks for videoing for us! I think you should try to fix that exhaust manifold put some kinda roof on her. Maybe tinker with the timing and carb adjustment a little bit.
Wow! Awesome work on that classic beauty. That drive at the end was so enjoyable. I hope you'll try to fix the horn, it's just a DC motor with a diaphragm so I'm guessing the motor is just seized.
That flathead 4 runs really well. I agree that you need to fine tune the timing to get more advancement out of it. You really fit the part when you dress for it. I really enjoyed it when the whole family is involved. To make sure you get all the sludge out of the engine run it for awhile and change the oil one more time so it will be ready for storage. See if Coker tire sponsor you some new Casings for the 28. Sorry for the long post. May you and your family have a Blessed One Sir.
I forgot to add this. The one thing I accidently discovered, my model A never did run well. Then one day when checking the points, just before using the car in a wedding, I noticed that when the points were advanced, the gap changed, which reduced the dwell and so the spark was very poor. I filed the notch larger in the distributor cap, the notch permits the points plate to move back and forth, and that fixed the problem of the gap changing, so the car ran much better. About a year ago, I decided I wanted the car to run really well, so I purchased an electronic ignition kit for it, and converted it over to a 12 volt system, and now it really runs good. I have had my model A, a 1928 2 door sedan, just like yours, for 56 years and the brakes have always been terrible. If Covid ever ends, I am going to switch the car to juice brakes. Even power front disk brakes, if I can find a kit. I am not a purist, just like to have a safe car to ride in. I even put seat belts in it, so my grand kids are safer. Hope this helps.
I love these cars. Original My father in law has a 1936 three window coup V8 with a rumble seat. For the most part its original. He did change out the brakes to hydraulic and the engine has been changed out. He took the body off the frame and cleaned and painted the farme. Then he had the body painted. Its cordoba grey. Its really beautiful. Other than that is pretty much original. I haven't had the chance to ride in it yet but I love it. My father in law doesn't want a hot rod. He says there are only so many of these still around and each one you rod its one less original. Just an FYI the bumper is not chrome its stainless steel. Black was the favorite color for Model T and A. Black was the only color that would dry fast enough to pain the body and keep up with the assembly line.
Those old Model As were not easy to get started. Thanks a bunch for letting us into being with the family. You're a very good Daddy. I hope remember all the fun.
Thanks for the opportunity to see u work on some nice old school rides and I see Rocky is just like one of ur kids lol he is such a piece of ur videos I enjoy but thank you for the content u give
Another great video. The car is amazing but your relationship with your kids and wife is the real heart of this channel. (And Rocky of course!). You reminded me of John-Boy Walton driving to church! I was humming “she’ll be coming ‘round the mountain when she comes”. Lol
Hi there to all of you guys, I'm Brian a retired mechanic from Canada 🇨🇦, I love 😍 your channel, thanks very much any one can watch this channel, keep up the great work.
A very COOL old car!! Part of Americas History, and part of YOUR Family!!!! Double declutch when you change gears, do not rush gears changes!! Non synchromesh gearboxes back then! Speedo probably needs cleaning inside, it could be worn out?? No doubt repo speedo,s can be purchased.
Got to love Rocky... He's so funny if you could hear him all he'd ever say is 'what is that can I eat it? what is that can I eat it? what is that can I eat it? 🐐💕 He's not your ordinary Billy Goat.. He's the original Hill-Billy Goat👍 Yeeeeehaw
I think when each of your kids do their dmv test, they should take this car. lol. I'm sure your grandpa will be happy to take it out for a drive again. Thanks for the video.
Glad to see an old car running again. Yep. Flip flops. My hero. I wish I had seen your channel years ago. I need reinforcements on the flip flops...and the bike...and the old cars.
Your wife is a trooper and is involved with what you are doing.. so cool! My xwife didn't like cars and sports 😂 my hobbies... Love the 29! Yes don't change nothing... These days the more original the better! Yes keep the falcon, turbo bird and definitely the galaxy!
Hey! This one looks 100% better than that that one that was so washed out with too much light. One way to clean the crankcase is to do what we used to. Before you change the oil, start and warm the engine till you can have it at a slow idle then add a pint of kerosene to the crankcase and let the engine idle another 5 minutes. It won't hurt the engine and it will break up that sludge in there and the oil will drain much easier. Be thankful it has all those zerks. That's why it has lasted so long, unlike modern vehicles where when the part wears out you just have to toss it and buy another because you couldn't grease it to keep it from wearing. That diesel oil likely has zink in it which helps keep the valves and seats lubricated well as they're a softer material than modern valves. Back when gasoline was leaded that was what lubed the valves. You can also buy a product called Instead-O-Lead and add it to your gas tank and it will help as well. Even with all that though those valves will get leaky over time and not seal well and it'll be time to "lap the valves" which was a common job on older engines. Somewhere around here I have a lapper which is basically just a dowel rod with a suction cup on each end. You'd stick that suction cup to a valve, put some grinding compound between the valve and seat and spin that dowel rod back n forth between your hands and that ground the valve and seat so they would seal against each other well again. Back in the day you would have removed the inspection stickers or else after a few years you'd not be able to see through the windshield, lol. They weren't for vehicle emissions, but more for, are the tires with enough tread to be legal...stuff like that, do the lights all work, etc. and they were also a form of automotive tax and you got a new one each year. Now on something as old as that if it had an A, B or C sticker about that size I'd definitely leave those as they were WWII gas rationing stickers. If you had an "A" card your vehicle was considered the lowest priority for fuel and you were allowed to buy 5 gallons a week. Even then you wouldn't drive much because you couldn't buy new tires or other maintenance stuff at all because the rubber and lubricants, etc. all went to the war effort. Sorry for such a long comment...I tend to ramble on a lot.
@@Sleeperdude I just can't get over actually messaging with you! I know it sounds stupid, but to me it's like speakin with a movie star lol. I don't watch tv, so yeah. It's 23 out, I'm in a tent for a few weeks saving up for a place, your videos have helped me keep on keepin on, I really appreciate the effort.
I’m subscribed. My friend and I drove his 1914 Model T touring from Iowa to Chicago to attend an antique car show. Two lane roads all the car came with a Manifold cooker. We made roast pork with potatoes and carrots and it cooked on the manifold on our way to a campground. We could smell the pork cooking while we drove. Car ran perfectly to Chicago and back.
I have really enjoyed seeing the “A” on the road again. I like the old pictures of cars that have been in the family. I have a 1924 Ford T that I had before my kids were born so there are pictures of them all through their lives in the “T”. My son has it now so there are pictures of my grandkids in it . My son is 48 now 👍👍🎩
Definitely a great day when you can ride the kids around in your grandparents old car, I'm shocked it went that far trouble free after setting for so long but the bouncy ride is probably just the tires, great save and I agree with keeping it as is for as long as possible 👍
As Henry Ford said... "Any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants, so long as it is black." . That car would make for a really nice restoration.
I really enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the great work. Love seeing the whole family (including the animals- Rocky is hilarious) getting involved. You will have great family memories!!
Hey guys! Reminds me of restoring a 1928 model a open cab pickup with my pop. He is gone now, but the memories will be with me forever. (Tip) aluminum foil , balled up and dipped in water is the best thing I have found to restore rusty and lightly pitted chrome. You have to try it! You will never spend on sos steel wool or scotch brute again!
You did a lot of work on your grand cater car awesome job Little more work and I’ll run like a top say hello to the whole family and your wife is gorgeous she could be a model thanks keep up the good work Big super fan of your channel I need to work on some or all cars
Takes me back to 1960. My Uncle had a "30" coupe which my dad had sold to him a few years earlier. I was 5 but remember riding in the car. Of course it had no roof either, but it still was something special to ride in it.
I used to loved doing old school wheel bearings, wash them out in petrol in a old icecream contrainer and get a lump of grease in my hand and scrape the vearing through it to pack it on the inside
I'm glad your grandfather has a great selection of classic cars. That's something to cherish. Thank you for sharing and hopefully you can get this Model A running. 🚗 P.S. Love the goats. 🐐
What a nice video and your beautiful family loves the old cars and helps with them also. And Rocky the super goat right there to keep everything in line, so cool. I love that little Goat that your daughter was holding, I kinda think Pebbles is spoiled already. That '28 Ford runs very good man I would love to go for a ride in that car. All you needed with the blue jeans and suspenders was a black over coat and Eliot Ness would have been proud. You have got her road ready and that's wonderful. And Rocky says hey I ain't about to be intimidated by the bigger Goat this is my place. I love that old Falcon also and look forward to seeing you work on it when the time comes. A friend of mine had a '63 Falcon back in our high school days many decades ago now. Keep the video's coming please sir lots of folks enjoy them besides me, thanks and be safe, all of you.
Cool we get to 👀 see 👶 the Sleeper dude ⁽⁽〉〈⁾⁾ when he was just a brand new Baby dude. well dressed up for the period, of old timers day, the 28 modal A look just like a new car in his heydays. thank so much .
@@Sleeperdude I got the full screen of your thumb nail of this video it came out Super Cool Wawa had herself an RC Cola Smile, everyone came out looking great, And the Greatest Of All Times the GOAT is ‾ ‾ ‾ ‾ looking Super Cool Too Ooh wee!🎈☁ Granny Goat gave the garage her hi Blessings and a safe send off to you all at the beginning of the video so that you all would get back safe in your return back home in one piece. Granny goat paused and stop at the entrance of the garage on the first video when you and the family first had your test drive. I think she was a little nervous for you all , cool thing to see an old goat do her thing too . Tell me Sleeper dude how much would you sell that picture of your thumb nail in a poster size for $. I like it very much it looks Super Cool .
A rule of thumb I was taught was for old vehicles 55+ or more in age after you drainout all of the old oil was to add backin some lucas and diesel and run it for about 5 mins... Let it warm it up good, shut er down and yank the drain plug.. The diesel mixed with lucas will scrub and basically do the same as a hot acid bath... It will break loose almost all of the sludge gunk and any leftover metal material that may be stuck in valleys or channels within the block.... I have seen ungodly amounts of crap flushout of an old engine block and it works very well.... When you did the front bearings that is a open & shut case of dirt and water contaminated grease.... Water breaks it down making it harden up & the dirt makes it a funky brownish grey color
Man this was a good video. That oil kind of look a lil weird but everything turned out nice. The cleanup was simple and easy and you could tell the difference. That was awesome seeing the wife driving the vehicle. I really like to test-drive especially with Ralphie in the video at 33:05 when Ralphie said that will be terrible. Boy i tell you Ralphie is funny. It was also cool to see Ralphie driving the vehicle at the end. At first I thought you was doing the video without your flip-flops on. I love how you switch your clothes in seconds. Yes I was told they had flip flops back in the days too. I was told that's all my grandfather wore back in the days was just flip flops because he had very extremely wide feet with toes that were equally straight across. But he had normal size toes it's just his toes was very very extremely wide. I see where my extremely wide feet come from now in the family. Just back doing Christmas I was looking at some pictures of my grandfather wearing flip-flops back in the day & till this day my grandfather is still wearing nothing but flip-flops. He only wear shoes and boots for certain things but other than that he is in flip flops 24/7 even when is 20 , 30 , 40 degrees outside he still wearing flip-flops to the store. My dad does not have wide feet & his toes are not equally straight across but his toes are spread out. I apologize for slightly jumping off the subject but but yes they did have their flip flops back in those days. The video thank you for for sharing.
Don't forget Bonnie and Clyde had a thing for 35 ford sedans with the v8 . They wrote a letter to ford motors telling them how well it performed and how Clyde was so happy with the power of the ford v8 . He always stole them . They never really stole 4 cylinders.

Looks like a prime candidate for full restoration. Looks good so far.
That would be nice

That Rocky needs his own show! Just love that little guy.
I think this is his show and I am just on it
I love driving my 1926 Oakland but as much as I love driving it, it sure makes me appreciate my modern cars.
Yep that true
I just love the style of those cars from the 20s and 30s.
Me too

Thank you
It's a blast watching you and the kids. I used to love working on cars until they put computers in them. I'm due to retire and watching you has inspired me to get back with it. Thanks!
That’s great thank you for watching
This guy is 5 years older but is 100000000% more mature in life. God has blessed you brother what a perfect Family
You can tell the type of family by how they interact with each other and the animals, beautiful !

GREAT CAR THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you
Родители просто отличные, с какой нежностью держат сестрёнку и братика! И козленок любопытный, без него никак масло не залить! 🐏
Hearing that car run my first thought was the Waltons. John boy's car sounded like that. Great old car. When I was a kid we went to California from Oklahoma to visit my great grandmother every other year. We went by train until my dad bought a new 1950 Chevrolet. Going through the desert almost all cars had a bag of water or two hanging from the front bumper in case the car got hot. We never had to use our water but we saw people who did.
Wow that’s an interesting story, times were definitely different then
What a car !
I runs like it was new .
So fun to watch this video.
My Mother told me that she drive a Model-T ones in the 50`s and she field like the Ford was driving on it`s own and she just controlled the car .
She said it was not like driving any other car .
She also remember that that most family's in Denmark had Model-a cars when she grow up .
That’s a cool story
That's a pretty funny story given that we have self-driving, traction control, ABS and such now. It's all relative, right?
Rocky is the GOAT of this channel for sure!
Suspenders only, no belt. Or belt only, no suspenders! You young whipper snapper!
Great video as always!
Yes he is thanks for the tip
Glad momma got a chance to drive it. She did great!
Yeah she liked it
I just want to see you and your kids are great. Nice to see respectful young adults these days.
Thank you we try

I stayed up late at night just to watch this, after my 10 hr drive from St Louis. Just so awesome!
Thank you I appreciate it
What a gem, loved the dressing up for the drive and how you always include family. Very very awesome, and glad it is back on the road.
Thank you
Life is good in a model A. You got yourself an enclosed cabin to protect from the elements (heater optional). And you start it with a push button so you don't take out an arm cranking. And a windshield wiper too, just not an electric one.

Yay,Ralphy!!!
Rocky is like my oldest when he was 2 years old.. Always into everything. Great video!
Yes he is into everything
Our youngest is 2 years old and I would agree she is into everything like Rocky!
What a cool car. I learned how to drive in a 1933 Chevrolet, when I was about 12 years old in about 1950. Never did get to drive a Model A.
That’s still cool .
Great video! Thanks for videoing for us! I think you should try to fix that exhaust manifold put some kinda roof on her. Maybe tinker with the timing and carb adjustment a little bit.
I agree thanks
Great job Sleeperdude must be such a contrast to driving a modern car
Thank you yes it is
As a 29 model A tudor owner, it's great to see you and your family driving the old Ford,
Model A's go by the smiles per mile lol
That’s great thank you
Love the work on the the Ford.
LOL Rocky makes me laugh all the time haha
Thank you he is into everything
Wow! Awesome work on that classic beauty. That drive at the end was so enjoyable. I hope you'll try to fix the horn, it's just a DC motor with a diaphragm so I'm guessing the motor is just seized.

Thank you I am blessed , I have had a couple of Walton’s comments
Those memories are going to last your family a lifetime! 🥰👍
Thank you I hope so

Exactly
Very interesting !! The whole Family having fun, great !!
Ralphie did good driving too !!!
Thank you

You'd stick that suction cup to a valve, put some grinding compound between the valve and seat and spin that dowel rod back n forth between your hands and that ground the valve and seat so they would seal against each other well again. Back in the day you would have removed the inspection stickers or else after a few years you'd not be able to see through the windshield, lol. They weren't for vehicle emissions, but more for, are the tires with enough tread to be legal...stuff like that, do the lights all work, etc. and they were also a form of automotive tax and you got a new one each year. Now on something as old as that if it had an A, B or C sticker about that size I'd definitely leave those as they were WWII gas rationing stickers. If you had an "A" card your vehicle was considered the lowest priority for fuel and you were allowed to buy 5 gallons a week. Even then you wouldn't drive much because you couldn't buy new tires or other maintenance stuff at all because the rubber and lubricants, etc. all went to the war effort. Sorry for such a long comment...I tend to ramble on a lot.
Ok thank you for the information
Absolutely loved this video! Thank you. I'm so glad you helped your youngens experience that car.
Thank you we had fun
@@Sleeperdude I just can't get over actually messaging with you! I know it sounds stupid, but to me it's like speakin with a movie star lol. I don't watch tv, so yeah. It's 23 out, I'm in a tent for a few weeks saving up for a place, your videos have helped me keep on keepin on, I really appreciate the effort.
I’m subscribed. My friend and I drove his 1914 Model T touring from Iowa to Chicago to attend an antique car show. Two lane roads all the car came with a Manifold cooker. We made roast pork with potatoes and carrots and it cooked on the manifold on our way to a campground. We could smell the pork cooking while we drove. Car ran perfectly to Chicago and back.
That’s a great story
Another great video! Might want to consider changing that oil again after a few hours of it running.
Good idea thanks
"ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO ".
Thank you I appreciate it
Great car! And they DO make food grade grease, you know, for those that like that sort of thing 😂
That’s funny thanks
I have really enjoyed seeing the “A” on the road again. I like the old pictures of cars that have been in the family. I have a 1924 Ford T that I had before my kids were born so there are pictures of them all through their lives in the “T”. My son has it now so there are pictures of my grandkids in it . My son is 48 now 👍👍🎩
That’s a great story thanks for watching
Definitely a great day when you can ride the kids around in your grandparents old car, I'm shocked it went that far trouble free after setting for so long but the bouncy ride is probably just the tires, great save and I agree with keeping it as is for as long as possible 👍
Thank you
Love your episode on the model A. My favorite car in the world. Really enjoy your videos, family and goats. Thanks
Billy
Thank you 😊
That’s one cool car, well done by your grandpa for looking after it so well. Now you gotta fix those ramps into the garage!!🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍
Yes sir need to get on that next
As Henry Ford said... "Any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants, so long as it is black." . That car would make for a really nice restoration.
That’s true
Great job on the road. You look so happy . Great video 👍👍👍
We had a good time thank you
Your kids are helping, wonderful.
I am blessed
Mind blowing how long you've been around that car
Since day 1
@@Sleeperdude you where destined to fix it hopefully you'll inherit it some day
I am going to teach my son to drive old cars and trucks as well. Current project i a 55 international. You have way more patience than it do.
That’s good thanks
Awesome video 👍 love seeing the kids involved, best to you and yours
Thank you
I dig that are helping your kids learn about cars and keeping older stuff going. Admirable.
I really enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the great work. Love seeing the whole family (including the animals- Rocky is hilarious) getting involved. You will have great family memories!!
Thank you I appreciate it
Love it! Your wife, "It'll be fine." 😂💯 Way to go!
Great video, glad your getting it back to road worthy again. Keep them coming
Thank you
Hey guys! Reminds me of restoring a 1928 model a open cab pickup with my pop. He is gone now, but the memories will be with me forever. (Tip) aluminum foil , balled up and dipped in water is the best thing I have found to restore rusty and lightly pitted chrome. You have to try it! You will never spend on sos steel wool or scotch brute again!
Glad you have those memories thanks for watching
You did a lot of work on your grand cater car awesome job Little more work and I’ll run like a top say hello to the whole family and your wife is gorgeous she could be a model thanks keep up the good work Big super fan of your channel I need to work on some or all cars
Thank you
Takes me back to 1960. My Uncle had a "30" coupe which my dad had sold to him a few years earlier. I was 5 but remember riding in the car. Of course it had no roof either, but it still was something special to ride in it.
That’s a great story thanks
Good to see you all again keep up the good work buddy
Thank you really appreciate it
Such an awesome car. Thanks to your back seat passenger for doing video.
Yes thank you
Loved this one!!!
Thank you
This and your Falcon are my favorites!
Me too
@@Sleeperdude 😁👍
Incredible work I’d love to see you polish this car
That would be interesting
I used to loved doing old school wheel bearings, wash them out in petrol in a old icecream contrainer and get a lump of grease in my hand and scrape the vearing through it to pack it on the inside
That’s awesome
I'm glad your grandfather has a great selection of classic cars. That's something to cherish. Thank you for sharing and hopefully you can get this Model A running. 🚗
P.S. Love the goats. 🐐
Thank you
@@Sleeperdude you're welcome
What a great video. If your son drives that to school he would have tons of friends. Brilliant love your videos more please
That’s what I thought thank you
Awesome video.
Thank you
What a nice video and your beautiful family loves the old cars and helps with them also. And Rocky the super goat right there to keep everything in line, so cool. I love that little Goat that your daughter was holding, I kinda think Pebbles is spoiled already. That '28 Ford runs very good man I would love to go for a ride in that car. All you needed with the blue jeans and suspenders was a black over coat and Eliot Ness would have been proud. You have got her road ready and that's wonderful. And Rocky says hey I ain't about to be intimidated by the bigger Goat this is my place. I love that old Falcon also and look forward to seeing you work on it when the time comes. A friend of mine had a '63 Falcon back in our high school days many decades ago now. Keep the video's coming please sir lots of folks enjoy them besides me, thanks and be safe, all of you.
Thank you I am blessed
This is the perfect reason why you let an engine warm up before you change the oil that sludge would come out a lot easier
That is true
Sludge
You could almost do some black and white or sepia filming to make it look like it was back in the day. Well done.
And I am a subscriber too!
That’s a good idea
Cool we get to 👀 see
👶 the Sleeper dude
⁽⁽〉〈⁾⁾ when he was just
a brand new Baby dude.
well dressed up for the
period, of old timers day,
the 28 modal A
look just like a new car in
his heydays.
thank so much .
I’m glad you liked it
@@Sleeperdude
I got the full screen of
your thumb nail of this video
it came out Super Cool Wawa
had herself an RC Cola Smile,
everyone came out looking great,
And the Greatest Of All Times the
GOAT is ‾ ‾ ‾ ‾
looking Super Cool Too Ooh wee!🎈☁
Granny Goat gave the garage her hi
Blessings and a safe send off to you all
at the beginning of the video
so that you all would get back safe in your
return back home in one piece.
Granny goat paused and stop at the entrance
of the garage on the first video when you and
the family first had your test drive. I think
she was a little nervous for you all , cool thing
to see an old goat do her thing too .
Tell me Sleeper dude how much would you
sell that picture of your thumb nail in a poster
size for $.
I like it very much it looks Super Cool .
A rule of thumb I was taught was for old vehicles 55+ or more in age after you drainout all of the old oil was to add backin some lucas and diesel and run it for about 5 mins... Let it warm it up good, shut er down and yank the drain plug.. The diesel mixed with lucas will scrub and basically do the same as a hot acid bath... It will break loose almost all of the sludge gunk and any leftover metal material that may be stuck in valleys or channels within the block.... I have seen ungodly amounts of crap flushout of an old engine block and it works very well.... When you did the front bearings that is a open & shut case of dirt and water contaminated grease.... Water breaks it down making it harden up & the dirt makes it a funky brownish grey color
Ok thank you
@@Sleeperdude NP sleeper brotha... I have flushed TONS of engine blocks out with that method
Man this was a good video. That oil kind of look a lil weird but everything turned out nice. The cleanup was simple and easy and you could tell the difference. That was awesome seeing the wife driving the vehicle. I really like to test-drive especially with Ralphie in the video at 33:05 when Ralphie said that will be terrible. Boy i tell you Ralphie is funny. It was also cool to see Ralphie driving the vehicle at the end. At first I thought you was doing the video without your flip-flops on. I love how you switch your clothes in seconds. Yes I was told they had flip flops back in the days too. I was told that's all my grandfather wore back in the days was just flip flops because he had very extremely wide feet with toes that were equally straight across. But he had normal size toes it's just his toes was very very extremely wide. I see where my extremely wide feet come from now in the family. Just back doing Christmas I was looking at some pictures of my grandfather wearing flip-flops back in the day & till this day my grandfather is still wearing nothing but flip-flops. He only wear shoes and boots for certain things but other than that he is in flip flops 24/7 even when is 20 , 30 , 40 degrees outside he still wearing flip-flops to the store. My dad does not have wide feet & his toes are not equally straight across but his toes are spread out. I apologize for slightly jumping off the subject but but yes they did have their flip flops back in those days. The video thank you for for sharing.
That’s great your grandpa wore flops too .. hope you have a great weekend and thanks for watching as always ..
Don't forget Bonnie and Clyde had a thing for 35 ford sedans with the v8 . They wrote a letter to ford motors telling them how well it performed and how Clyde was so happy with the power of the ford v8 . He always stole them . They never really stole 4 cylinders.
That is true
She runs great dude, sweet, & are Ralphie & Squeezy twins ? I have twins
They are actually 13 months apart he is older but they are about the same size
Ahhh...Irish twins 1yr., apart...cool, great shows bud so keep em' coming, well get those numbers up even more..subscribers I mean. On standby.
Great memories created by taking that drive with your kids! You were like a kid with a new toy by the looks of your grin.... Awesome!
You got that right!
Jandals out in 1957 but it'll be fine
I am liking the moonshine runner hat. My grandfather had one like it.
That’s funny thanks
