Hey Gang! If anyone is interested in taking a look at the Manual for “Stormizing” here is a link. onedrive.live.com/?cid=edbd5d73722caa18&id=EDBD5D73722CAA18%2123327&ithint=file%2Cpdf&authkey=%21AGRuEA7KHwHaD5I Let us know how you like the video! -Strong’s Garage
Must have been a serious investment for a shop to purchase this tool. However it was during a time when people tended to repair things rather then junk them out.
Nice boring job I used to have a boring bar called the quick way kind of similar to bolted to the top of the deck one at a time was a slow way but it was very precision I did a bunch of engines back in the day my buddy gave it to me when he retired he was a hot rodder i he had a48 Anglia409 he made a custom tunnel ram intake out of Sheet Metal Harley anybody is doing that back in the day it had2 660 squirters is a 4-speed narrowed 57 Olds rear end48 gears it was scary in a good scary have a great day you guys did a fantastic job that things going to run great
This is like the "Antiques Roadshow" of Automobilia! Seeing antique tools and cars and showrooms is wonderful and heartwarming on these cold California desert days! HA! Keep up the good work! Hope you make a million!
I find it amazing that you have acquired period correct tools in mint condition and know how to use them. I am sure that there are just a handful of people in the world that are still doing this type of work with old original tools. I did watch Scott's video and it had me in awe as to how impressive these tools worked and your knowledge in using them. Great video and would love to see more like this. Thanks guys.
Awesome! Back when things were made to be able to be repaired and mechanics had the tools and knew how to use them. Modern "mechanics" are just parts changers. You guys are great.
Matt, there was an old show when I was a kid called "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom". The old guy, Marlon Perkins had an asst. named "JIM". Marlon would say " While I stay in the Jeep, boat, or tent, Jim is going to capture the Rhino, Hippo, Python, or Crocodile. Since you are laid up, you can do the same thing!
Saw the CWM Video. You guys really have a great shop and tools! Matt you are a trooper to be out there still closely involved in the process. Jim, you did a great job setting the tool up to get a good straight cut. Very impressed with Strong's Garage. You can tackle anything!!
I have been a follower of CWM for a number of years. When Scott bought the '37 Chevy I drooled! I remember it took a bit of time to asses the full nature of the damage to the engine. Scott was prepared to take the engine out and completely rebuild or replace it but when it became clear that the #5 cylinder was the only one damaged he began to explore other options. At first he honed out the #5 cylinder and attempted to repair it with JB Weld epoxy. Fortunately Jim, the agents and many CWM followers were able to convince him to perform the in-frame cylinder repair that you have witnessed instead. I recall when I was a youngster, this was a rather common technique which reduced the cost of returning an engine to a proper state of repair. Scott's '37 was a perfect candidate for this procedure because of the very low mileage of the car. A failed head gasket was declared the cause of the corrosion damage which was confined to the #5 cylinder. The rest of the engine was in very good condition. All that remains is to install new piston rings (on all 6 cylinders) and re-assemble the engine. Scott hopes to be driving it next year.
For once RUclips suggested something awesome. A few days ago I saw one of your older videos and subscribed instantly. Love the use of old tools on old cars. One of the best channels yet. 👍
My first job in the motor trade was in a place that dated back to the thirties, they had a lot of kit like this stashed away in the back. Sadly, not much of it was used any more but there were still guys there who knew how it worked. I wish I’d taken the opportunity to broaden my horizons. In those days I wasn’t into old cars, I just drove them.
Nice job getting that old miser's jalopy patched up! While it's in the shop you should toss on an extra carb, split manifold and blocks out back...I bet he won't even notice!
Matt, Jim, just watched CWM and boom, you guys have even more details of the same vehicle and tools. Very envious of what you guys do. Keep up the great work and we enjoy your show. Cheers from Ohio
Matt & Jim you are such true craftsmen. I watched Scott’s video and watching you boys work is absolutely incredible. The use of period correct tools and methods is incredible and it is what makes your channel unique. I love your sense of humor in every single video, you boys are a real hoot. Heal up quick Matt.
They make great little scooters that you kneel the broken limb on and roll around. Pretty handy to get around and to be able to stand and potentially lean over a car with. I find that patients really do get around better on those. And couple of docs have even rolled around the ED treating patients, so a car should be doable as well. I love your vids. You guys always bring a smile to my face. 💕
I just watched this on CWM. I'll be happy to watch it again on your channel. Be advised: cheap bourbon is involved in the watching. Matt, I hope you bum wheel heals so quickly that it flabbergasts the medics.
...as much as I wanted to watch the great JB Weld experiment, I'm glad Scott was able to find that sleeve and do right by the old Chev.......the Storm machine is steampunk brilliant.....thanks guys.......
Matt and Jim,what a treat! Such a passion for the old tools and the old ways. Thank you 😊 for doing the calibration with Scott and the other Agents of Cold War Motors!
It was fun watching the boring operation and seeing your shop and parts department. It's always cool to see vintage tools and their catalogs that have prices listed. Sure wish we could buy these tools for the prices shown. ; ) Can't wait to watch more of your videos. Hope Matt heals quickly and with no pain. Take care.
Matt, PLEASE GO EASY, take time to really HEAL CAREFULLY!! Jim, you are a really nice guy, kind, dedicated and patient!!! GREAT WORK on Scott's Chevrolet AND Jim the VWs and Licoln at your place looking great too!! ( Awsome finding a good bus roof!!!)
Hi Matt and Jim! Thanks very much for dotting the i's and crossing the t's on this one. I really enjoyed Scott's video and this one also. I've taught myself to use a vintage Buma boring bar, so this video is right up my alley. I have only used mine on Flathead Ford V8s as that is what I am primarily interested in. My very first job was a sleeve job so talk about in at the deep end! I've showed the machine in action in some of my videos. It's a little later than the Storm so looks more like the familiar Kwik Way and Van Norman types. Keep up the excellent work and get yourself better Matt. All the best, Mart in England.
Whilst the tools and techniques (to some) may SEEM outdated... I have a great respect for the precision of the older equipment which is/was used. The skills and understanding could one day become very useful in our 'virtual reality, bluetooth' world. Nicely done.
OH YAY! Didn't know we'd get a SG video to follow Scotts today! How awesome! Not sure if you saw my comment on his video but the motor on that tool of yours is super cool! it's a repulsion start - induction run motor! I have one that I pulled off an air compressor that was doing about twice the work she was ever meant to do and still running strong! That's a pretty rare motor these days as i'm sure most were scrapped since they are so very very heavy!
I saw your comment, then had to look up how a repulsion start motor works, then watch a bunch of videos on the subject... Geez thanks buddy, for sending me once again down the You Tube rabbit hole and making me burn up half of my day off, lol. Man, I'm such an old tech geek. Seriously, thanks for your comment. I had never heard of a repulsion start motor. I learned something new.
I miss the days of a half dozen buds hanging out watching the 2 guys wrenching.Years of memories and knowledge shared.I'd never seen a 'boring bar'at work and it was nothing like what I'd thought when I heard of 1 as a kid.Everyone was just picking up blocks from a shop after waiting weeks for them to boil and check for cracks.Thanks for sharing all the great tools and parts with us.
I tell others that are doing projects, Go to Strongs garage if your looking for a tool that does things just like the boring machine. Not going to find one of those in any shop in america now. I have used one before and its a new life for good many engines with a wrist pin scar or a light crack that might start to go through the cylinder to the cooling or even exhaust chambers that lead to bad things if not fixed. Flathead ford engines were remembered for cylinder cracks... real bad on some of their engines I decided to edit or add to this comment. Although I am only 73, the town I came up in was a good twenty years behind towns only say thirty plus miles from us and then the cities just a tad more. Meaning I grew up with guys who taught me old school stuff cause it was still new to us. I therefore could stand with mechanics say fifteen to more years older and be with their knowledge sets. I used a boring bar to "True" the hole if it was just a smidgeon off of true. That with our crank shaft tools that would weld, cut and reman the shaft to its exact sizes. I did help with "doing a stroke" on a crankshaft". That took more time than worth but the pay was phenomenal.... like almost a twenty dollar day for only ten hours. Didn't make a difference if it was monday or sunday as it all payed the same.
YES, lots of tools, I love tools too. Where and how did you find all the tools. Did you have a video on the procurement (you like that word) of those cool old tools thank you and coldwarmotors good stuff ALL stay safe.
You guys have all the cool tools! Incredible that almost everything in your shop seems to be the correct vintage for your theme. Also hose reels, crane and even Matts crutches looks vintage!
awesome work and skills you guys, i watched CWM and what a fantastic time you guys are having, thanks for your explanations of the gear, looking forward to seeing more of your magic .
I watched the complete process on Scott's video. It was remarkably interesting. (I am using Microsoft's suggested word choices). There were a lot of interested people in your garage today and the Storm Boring Bar did not disappoint. I enjoyed the videos, both yours and Scotts. You have a great garage and some genuinely nice cars. Cheers from KCMO
That's the perfect fix with the perfect tools for the '37! It'll be on the road next spring..............if Scott doesn't get too distracted by the bazillion other projects he's got going on! LOL
Thanks for featuring this machine in your video. I saw pictures of one years ago Most people I've spoken to thought I was nuts to believe such a thing even existed.
Yesterday, as the boring machine was going on, Scott commented it was the only antique boring machine being mounted on an antique car on the planet at that moment. I hope the antique car owners of North America find you guys and book your services. There's NO one else out there that does just what you do.
Wonderful video on the repair and of the use of the tools, thank you for taking us along. I hope your foot heals quickly my friend. Cheers from Fort Lauderdale Florida USA republic
Having these old sleds and actually driving those registered and used as daily cars until You have to use some of the 2020 tooling to repair/rethread/rebore a patient in need is awesome already. Having the contemporary tooling which eases the repair in a contemporary way like the strongification tool set did for You here is in deed lifting all that old-car-divertisment up to a completely new level. Thanks for sharing - hit the like button three times for good measure 😁
My great uncle had his own machine shop back in the 30s up untill the early 60s...he did all his own machining for the equipment he had....all cool old tools
This is the perfect corollary to the CWM video. I could not see how the boring bar was installed without removing the crank or how it could remain centered. It's all explained here, plus the sleeve installer that pulls from the bottom. Awesome job guys.
I went int my shop and looked at my original Black and Decker valve seater tool and refacing machine. With a lot of mandrels and stones I paid 100.00 several years ago. Learned how to do valves when I was 12, I;m 78 now and still a mechanic.
Hey Matt/Jim - Kudos on the site, very enjoyable viewing. I so wish my Dad had lived to have an opportunity to see your efforts. He would have been thrilled to see that there is a new generation of enthusiasts carrying on the old car hobby.
Actually, this was much more entertaining and informative than the original show, but don't tell Scott that! I've always wondered how and why they did that, and how the inside measurements were taken!
Thanks to you guys that car will now be with it's original engine forever. Such an amazing original pre-war car should stay that way in my view. BTW, Matt must really be hurt. I've never seen his hands so clean!🤪 Hope you're on the mend and better soon bud.

Must have been a serious investment for a shop to purchase this tool. However it was during a time when people tended to repair things rather then junk them out.
Love the technical writing in this manual. It just feels well done.
AAAAhhh the car had a doorway warranty. Out the door out of warranty.🍋🍋🍋 fantastic repair thanks for posting
Good job Men!
Very informative video 2x👍
You guys are a true credit to the trade and awesome representatives of a bygone golden era of automotive repair.
BTW I got rid of all my ladders. At my age I just don’t bounce off concrete or the ground as well as when I was young. 😉
Candy shop for men. 👍

I’m definitely a sucker for old quality tools.

You fellows remind me of that old Texaco commercial, You can trust your car to the man that wears the star or better yet who runs Strongs Garage.
Good job . Scott will enjoy that Chev More joy driving these old cars . Over lap top car . 👍🏻🇦🇺Brian in Tasmania .
Great video of you all on Scott's Coldwar Motor video
like to see more of the car lift. speedy recovery pal.
That was aaawwsomeee

Really cool guys , one of a kind content here
Like a time machine.
Jim I can't wait for see your mk2 finished it'll be wild to see you guys put the roof on your bus
Get well soon Matt! Hope to see you on the mend and getting around better than ever!
It's great to see all the old tools being used. Thanx
Cool !!!!🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂
...as much as I wanted to watch the great JB Weld experiment, I'm glad Scott was able to find that sleeve and do right by the old Chev.......the Storm machine is steampunk brilliant.....thanks guys.......
You guys did a great job on Scott's car !
This was an amazing repair with simple but accurate tools. Great infotainment.
Matt and Jim,what a treat!
Such a passion for the old tools and the old ways.

You guys have some cool rides at your shop your show has that woodwrights shop feel but for cars old Roy used pioneer type tools to do wood work
Great that you are keeping the forgotten tools and skills to use them alive.

praying for you guys and Matt with his ankle get well soon thank you for showing old school and how its done
It was a Great video and I enjoyed it very much!

awesome work and skills you guys, i watched CWM and what a fantastic time you guys are having, thanks for your explanations of the gear, looking forward to seeing more of your magic .
Nice to see the proces of fixing the cylinder sleeve with the tools from 1920. This is real craftsmanship👌
My father started working on cars in the early '50's and recalled this process well.
Great job on boring the 37. Thanks for the walk through on the tools. The forgotten art and tools used again 👍
I watched the complete process on Scott's video. It was remarkably interesting. (I am using Microsoft's suggested word choices).

Lovely bit of old school machine work, extremely satisfying to save the original engine.
You two are awesome... Thanks for sharing your knowledge... Am looking forward to checking out the old tools..great idea...great content !
Thanks for featuring this machine in your video. I saw pictures of one years ago Most people I've spoken to thought I was nuts to believe such a thing even existed.

Really wondering how the spindle feeds cause the screw pitch I'm seeing looks coarse...get well Matt!

Complete reenactment of a miser..
Jim your sense of humour is the absolute best.
Awesome job, and it certainly wasn't BORING, excellent machine, thanks for the video, all the best to yous and your loved ones
Fascinating stuff, not boring at all. Now we all know the drill.
My great uncle had his own machine shop back in the 30s up untill the early 60s...he did all his own machining for the equipment he had....all cool old tools
This is the perfect corollary to the CWM video. I could not see how the boring bar was installed without removing the crank or how it could remain centered. It's all explained here, plus the sleeve installer that pulls from the bottom. Awesome job guys.
Like all those antique tools you have . I’ve never seen a boring tool like that. Awesome video Matt and Jim
The right toolS for the job! Nice! Great work, everyone!
Good job guys... I couldn't help but notice Matt's Stormy Kromer hat. Some interesting history there too.
That was an excellent job you guys did with that sleeve.
This is a lost art, really nice to see this !
Is that my boring bar?! Cool!
Great job guys. Cool tools and knowledgeable dudes! Thanks for the "limp around" Matt!
I went int my shop and looked at my original Black and Decker valve seater tool and refacing machine. With a lot of mandrels and stones I paid 100.00 several years ago. Learned how to do valves when I was 12, I;m 78 now and still a mechanic.
Great video guys. Love that you are using the old tools. Your garage is like stepping back in time.
Hey Matt/Jim - Kudos on the site, very enjoyable viewing. I so wish my Dad had lived to have an opportunity to see your efforts. He would have been thrilled to see that there is a new generation of enthusiasts carrying on the old car hobby.
Never knew anything like that existed. Excellent. Great show. That bore & sleeve fit looked pretty damn good from my angle.
Actually, this was much more entertaining and informative than the original show, but don't tell Scott that! I've always wondered how and why they did that, and how the inside measurements were taken!
Great video on cold War motors as well... hope you heal fast... even crutches look period correct!
JUST watched CWM 👀
Incredibly impressived with your mechanic skills 👌 attention too detail gentleman 🪛🔩⚙🔧
Well done , Matt & Jim !!
Just keep it simple, but it still a lot of work to do a good job. Thanks
dang, the time I could have saved...watched the whole hour at CWM, good job guys!
Thanks to you guys that car will now be with it's original engine forever. Such an amazing original pre-war car should stay that way in my view. BTW, Matt must really be hurt. I've never seen his hands so clean!🤪 Hope you're on the mend and better soon bud.
I would like to see your work on the other 216 that is in your garage. Fine job guys!
