How many lives are changed by the presence of one man? Hundreds? Thousands? It's hard to say but Matt is one of those men that touches the souls of those around him in a positive light. God Bless You Matt...❤

I almost cried while watching this video. Reminds me so much of my childhood days in our country, the Philippines. My dad has a Harley repair shop business in the early 50's and I grew up riding those sidecars as our main transpo. They're usually painted red like the one in the video, my dad;s favorite color, I presumed. By the age of 16 in the 60's I, together with my other big brothers was already doing harley repair works, engine overhaul and body works. My dad likes them as original as possible and even the smallest screw should be harley certified part. I learned a lot from him how values the every details of being a harley mechanic. I really missed those days.
Complete overhaul and runs like a camp. The look on Stan's face when Matt said Don't Flood It, is priceless. Great Job Guys on the The Rebuilding of a Classic 1940 Flathead Harley Davidson.
What a great combination. I am a big fan of motorcycles with sidecars and this one is really beautiful. You really helped that neighbor quite a bit...he must be a happy man with the revival of this beautiful machine. Well done guys.
Man I never get tired of watching your videos I'm a old chevy guy been building 30s and 40s chevys for 45 years but I miss my old 45 ......George the old chevyoligist
Great video guys and fabulous old bike. Can’t get over the fact you got her totally rebuilt in 80 hours……no substitute for passion and knowledge 🏴
Simply a project named Oof. I love to watch you wrench Matt but I dont envy this one at all. Best of luck and may the gods of speed be with you. Cheers!
Loved watching you bring this back to life.....if I ever make it to the states from Australia...wheels through time is definitely a place I need to see
I have always loved the older motorcycles. Now because of you guys I appreciate them more because every time I watch a video from you I learn something new. It is so cool how good they were designed and how user friendly they are. Really hope to have one that you and your team built someday that would be the best.
@@wheelsthroughtime already have tickets for 2024. Got them to sooth the loss of the most perfect bike for me the 2023 raffle bike.I would have rode the wheels off that one.
Also, you know how Sean has a picture of his face on a shirt from bikes and beards? I think you should make a shirt with WTT on it and an outline of your face in white on a black shirt, I would 100% buy that!!! I’m so in love with your videos please continue to post working on Bikes. It is awesome!
This is a cool video but the ones I really like are the barn find revivals for some reason! Keep the cool videos coming guys!! God Bless you guys, have giving me inspiration to revive some old bikes myself. Thanks!
That was a righteous deal you did for Stan, dang man, I'm wishing I was back in shape now and the thought of having a sidecar seems it would be much easier to handle even in my shape makes a feller think! Thanks for the video. Opened up some heartfelt feelings again!
You don't even need to be into Bikes, to enjoy your videos. Very professionally done. Video is crisp! Great explanation, and we root for these bikes to rumble one more time! Best of luck on your channel. Should be no problem if you run it like your current business!
I never knew Harley made a flathead beyond 36, Now I have a whole new outlook on flatheads and I am becoming a big fan. I have been around bikes my whole life and never knew it I am a flatheader now. I had Triumphs Nortons and BSA's and Harleys when I was finally able to afford one we would get a 900 iron head Sportster and though we were hot stuff.😂
This was one of the best rebuilds I’ve seen lately. Thx for all your work Matt. It kept me entertained foresure. Every time you open up a bike you never know what you’re going to be dealing with and this was a big one👍 You are one positive dude.
Hey! There were some turn signals for my FXRP! That’s the first time in a bunch of videos I’ve seen your FXR. Got to the loose shifter arm tonight and the splines are good! Im the 3rd owner, officer from 93-97, previous until 23 & now my turn.
This is the kind of medical repair show I'd watch every time. Watching professionals in their element is very exciting... You've done a masterful repair on a beautiful machine. Kudos to all who worked on this classic machine... Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours...
Great Job Team Matt! That bike is a beauty! I have a photo of my late father in law on a very similar bike right after WWII. It was black and had that same logo on the tank. I need to study it more to see if I can tell which motor was on it.
I f*cking love this content , you guys are out here doing the lords work for Harley Davidson. I have came to see you guys multiple times. I can 100% say I’m a huge fan. There needs to be more people like you guys in this world !
Great job mate. Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and and a safe new year . Looking forward to seeing what you have installed for us at the museum that runs. Take care cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
In 86' Napa County had a flood that was horrible. The sanitation department also overflowed into the river. My dad's 58 FLH was under the grips in sludge water. The bike was black when it flooded grey when it dried. The bike wouldn't roll on its own had to use dollies and a tommy lift to put it in a truck bed. Gary Copeland of Fairfield Ca. Rebuilt the motor and trans. Almost a gallon of pure sludge was in the lower end and trans. And five gallons in the 2.5 each tanks (yes incorrect). It took over a year to complete the restoration of it.
new video format with applied mechanics and explained technique. wow, thanks Matt, I want more like that. I have never worked on an H-D flathead, but on my flathead 47 Chief, yes. It was a revelation to see that you can install the cylinder heads on the engine in the frame. I can't do this on my Chief because the frame tubes prevent me from using the wrench correctly. Is this a special H-D tool you have for tightening the bolts head ?
Looks and sounds great now I have two Harley’s a 03 ultra and a 22 Tri Glide which are both rubber mounted engines could you mount the old engines on rubber to take some of the vibration out

You put down the words I was just thinking.
Thank you both!!
Like his father before him 😎♥️🇨🇦👌🍻
Everyone loves the work you put in and a lasting legacy of your dad buddy
Who knows, the bikes owner may donate the ride to the museum someday?
Love seeing those old bike ridden! Great job! Beautiful!
Thanks. Well told, better edited. (Imho) I am recovering from a stroke ( lived) all things that are” returned to normal “ fill me with hope. Merry Christmas!
Thanks for watching!!
Seeing Matt work is amazing - speed and accuracy. And he’s great with the people.
You do know it's speeded up? 😂
like a virtuoso pianist
DON'T FLOOD IT! Love this guy. He has his father's spirit.
It's amazing to watch you knock out such a huge project. You guys do amazing work, and it shows how much you love doing it.
Hard to make a fitting comment on your efforts to help out a neighbor. Merry Christmas and safe rides to all!

Remarkable! Only place in the world that a vintage Harley Davidson could have been saved. Great work. Great Video.
He’s just one of many that can do the job
Congratulations Matt on another successful build. Your dad would be very proud.
Stupendous job. Craftsmanship, skill, enthusiasm, perfection. Fun to watch.
You fellas are artists. Sincerely!
That's awesome for you all to offer your skills and expertise to get that gorgeous bike back in the wind for Stan❤
Great video guys and fabulous old bike. Can’t get over the fact you got her totally rebuilt in 80 hours……no substitute for passion and knowledge 🏴
I love it!! I'm grinnin from ear to ear. I'll bet Stan was flooded....with emotion.
....leave him high and dry? Yeah, that's the goal after two floods! A labor of love!!! 😊❤
Simply a project named Oof. I love to watch you wrench Matt but I dont envy this one at all. Best of luck and may the gods of speed be with you. Cheers!

Man ! That is some job you guys did . I love hearing that bike fire up . Just something that gets me when those old bikes get running again .
Y'all have me hooked ! I saw my first bike with a tank shifter was in my teens. I can't get enough of this stuff.
This is a cool video but the ones I really like are the barn find revivals for some reason! Keep the cool videos coming guys!! God Bless you guys, have giving me inspiration to revive some old bikes myself. Thanks!

So much living history, preserved . Such foresight, such can do .. and fun too .

Always a pleasure watching these videos, you guys are on my bucket list to visit one day. Hopefully it’ll be on a Harley too 🤙🏾
How's that Go ( A Man that loves his Job Never Works a Day in his Life) to be able to Do that is a True Blessing! Beautiful Bike Great Job Guys
You guys are awesome. As I restore Vintage Gibson guitars, my appreciation for what you do to Vintage motorcycles is beyond words. ❤
Thanks for watching!!

So beautiful to see that vintage iron back on the road.
We think so too!
beautiful machine
Bringing the best back to life. Thanks Matt!
Nice bike keep it keep it
Out of the water and on
The Road .
Thanks from NOR-CAL.
Great story! Great ending......well done and Merry Christmas!
Matt!! Motorcycles don't usually have a chassis they usually have a frame and this HD has a frame!!
Stan has a pretty neat workshop, grit blaster and all
He’s a fukin fool, let that bike flood twice and then let’s it sit for ten years
Great job fellas happy for Stan !!!
That's one nice old Ride! It looks beautiful 😊😊😊❤❤❤
Fantastic work.
🙌... that was fantastic Mr. ! 🇺🇸
That was absolutely amazing and a ton of fun to watch!
love watching stuff like that. I wish I had your knowledge.
Would you have to worry about the frame ? Being the flood can frame of the bike rust from within ? 🤷🏻♂️ great job as always , love these videos 💯🇺🇸👍🏻
Top Harley Man, you must be the BEST in the entire United States!
Well done. 👌
Lots of great mechanics out there.
That is too cool. Reminds me of building my '48 UL that I picked up in Davenport, back in 2016.
In 86' Napa County had a flood that was horrible. The sanitation department also overflowed into the river. My dad's 58 FLH was under the grips in sludge water. The bike was black when it flooded grey when it dried. The bike wouldn't roll on its own had to use dollies and a tommy lift to put it in a truck bed. Gary Copeland of Fairfield Ca. Rebuilt the motor and trans. Almost a gallon of pure sludge was in the lower end and trans. And five gallons in the 2.5 each tanks (yes incorrect). It took over a year to complete the restoration of it.
I love these style of bikes and it sucks because I know I’ll never be able to afford one. Way cooler styling than now days.
Check out our annual raffle. A ticket to win a 1936 Harley is only 10 bucks!!
@@wheelsthroughtime oh yea I’ll keep trying
Love watching your videos wish I had 10% of your knowledge.
Very cool Matt. Great job and video. Thanks!
Healthy and Happy New Years to all at Wheels Through Time
Well done Matt!
I'd be interested to know how many runs he's had since Matts gracious rebuild !
new video format with applied mechanics and explained technique. wow, thanks Matt, I want more like that.

That bike looks so much better since it's been rebuilt.
Awesome job…Your dad would be proud of you!
