@Sleeperdude love the videos, but have a question about the Raycon ear buds. Are they actually pretty decent, loud with decent sounding? I wanted to ask before buying any cause I bought $5 pair of ear buds and they sound better than my $30 ear buds 😆 so what is your opinion about them. I know people will say cheap ear buds have cheap sound and mostly true but looking for decent brand of ear buds
@sleeperdude my husband and I enjoy watching we have been watching when you was fixing up the first camper you went out west and broke down. Please 🙏 for us we both have serious medical problems. Your videos helps us get through. Wawa I sketch also you are very talented, Squeeze I also paint you are very talented and Ralphie I have only tried sculpting once with metal I made a seahorse for high school sculpture class they had event at place called Rose Center we had to put our art on display I won honorable mention out of hundreds of students from multiple schools. You are very talented. Josh I enjoy your history I used to be into history and we enjoy seeing you work on cars and race. Tosh you and I both love animals. But where we live I can’t have as many just cat and dog. My husband and I health is too bad to take on anymore but if I could I would. I would enjoy seeing you and Josh going on a date night what I wouldn’t give to go on one with my husband he’s bedridden.
I was about to make a similar comment. Where else would you find a 12 or 13 year old who has both the confidence and the ability to carry out that work on removing those tires. Go Ralphie! Happy Christmas.
Man, seeing the ease at which Ralphie removed those tires with the new machine made me so happy for you guys. That machine has been a longtime needed. Congrats!
Great investment. We use to circle track race both dirt and asphalt with a vintage modified. . Didn’t have enough rims to keep everything mounted and dad was too cheap to buy extras. I spent so much time with the harbor freight manual one mounting and dismounting and mounting dirt tires and slicks back and forth.
I have to say this is one of the Very few channels that I do not mind listening to the whole sponsorship add.. Not only are they done very well and keep up my interest but i just keep thinking how much this family totally deserves all the sponsorship and subscriptions that they can get. They work so hard on these vehicles to keep us all intertained and to teach us more and more things. And then we get to go along with them to Dollywood and NYC and the wild west. Its just the very best channel on RUclips. Thanks guys.
My car just after highschool ironically was a 86 Buick Regal Factory V8 sport coupe factory Buick steel road rally Wheels chrome and black accents and chrome rim lips 14x7
Ya’ll are so adorable that I turn everything else off or delay watching what ever so I can devote all of my attention to your show. I am 79 years old and I don't get out much anymore and just love to watch your show.
I think it is every man’s dream to build their wife and kids something special they can be proud to have. All this family teaming up to build these amazing cars is just absolutely heartwarming and I just love this!
Josh, have you ever thought about getting one of those cheap full length mirrors that you hang on the back of a door and hang it on the wall at a slight angle so you can see the left side tires when you're pulling a vehicle on the lift. It makes it real easy when you're by yourself putting anything on the lift. Just thought I'd suggest this just in case you haven't. With as many steel wheels that y'all use and metal parts that need media blasting maybe one of your sponsors/partners would set you up with a blast cabinet. Thanks for everything y'all do to make us feel like part of the family/ team.
Man, how awesome it is to have a family unit like y'all do. Get up every day and do what you love to do TOGETHER! God bless y'all!! Love this channel! Can't wait for more Maverick videos too!
Wa Wa, Squizz, Ralfie will never forget the memories mom & dad are making with them. Great to have a family Chanel like this. Thank you so much. Blessing from Texas
Did that once. Used to work for a VW dealer and we had an MG Midget. A salesman and I went out. He drove the Beetle and I drove the MG. The MG out handled the VW hands down. But I personally like the Beetle better. They are more dependable.
The best part is you really don't need to go to the track for it. Quickest to 55 should be good enough. They might not get their on an 1/8th mile track. The mg will have a higher top end speed.
Hey guys, noticed while Wawa was cleaning those hoops that wire wheel got awful close to her Hoodie strings.. just a reminder to tuck them in or take them out when working with rotating tools... I learnt the hard way. Thanks for the videos, stay safe.
Yeah, not to be a Safety Sally but hoodie strings should be removed and long hair secured to keep it out of rotating tools or assemblies. Mechanical scalp removal is gruesome.
Josh. I really love the MG. I am so jealous of Marge right now. Watching you and your kids work on your collection is so wonderful. Please keep going. Thank you sir ...
I’ve had luck with re-annealing the copper washers if they leak. Heat the copper washer until it glows and then let it cool. Re-install and the leak may stop. It’s worked for me a few times.
chrome polishing tip - steel wool will leave micro scratches on various grades of chrome , use a folded /wadded up piece of tin foil with wd40 or chrome polish & rub briskly to remove rust , the tin foil will not scratch & will also fill into small pits adding to the luster & shine !
I’m 6”4 240 pounds and I have a midget. I fit in it with no problem. Yours has a 1275 engine, you can put a 5 speed trans in it, there is a ford one that will fit or a Datsun 210 gearbox will fit. There was also the factory option of an electric overdrive. I have owned several of these, they have their quirks but overall they really are a well built car and they have not gotten stupid in pricing yet.
Would a 5.3 fit in one I've never seen a mg in person and it looks very small would think with a nicely built small black it would be like a Shelby cobra
When you tighten the banjo bolts on the calipers, tighten them down, then tap the bolt a couple of times with a hammer and you can tighten it a bit more. This will help to keep the washers from leaking.
Glad to see back working on the Midget. I’m restoring a 1976 Midget. One thing to note every fastener is SAE fine tread. Put the metrics tools away. I have stripped mine down to the body and doing all the body work now. Rebuilt the engine this spring. This really has been one of the easiest and fun cars I have worked on. Good to see the family involved and enjoying working on cars. ❤
The kids are such a big help! Ralphie has the tire changing thing down pat. My husband worked in a gas station the summer he graduated (1971 ancient history right?) He was not nearly as proficent with tire changinf thing as Ralphie is.
I love the little British 4 cyl cars! I've wanted a Triumph Spitfire since I was 15. I'm 57, and still want one. Watching you bring this MG back to life has been pretty cool!
My parents had Austin Healey's when I was a kid back in the late 50s-mid60s. My first car as a 16-year-old was a beat up 56 MGA. I loved it, but it didn't last very long. Fast forward to 2022. I bought a 77 MGB from an elderly friend that is in pretty good shape and low-ish miles. I grew a few more inches from when I was 16 and let me tell you..getting in and out of that MG when the top is up is a chore!!
Loved this one! That MG is gorgeous! I think I saw a glint of “I want one” in Squeeze’s eye. Y’all did a great job on that replacement convertible roof! Every time I am more impressed.
Im so glad you got the MG on the road she clearly loves that car you all did a great job i always injoy your. Video's your a great family show and your teaching your children great skills
Such a lovely family, great animals and just an all around great positive attitude with tons of love for each other. Everyone helps as best they can, it does not get any better than this. I can only wish that I had grown up with such great parents in such a nurturing and lovely environment. It is always a joy to see you and your family working on whatever project you have at the time!
Awesome little MG !! , my Dad had one in high school back in the very early 50s , I think his was a 49 or 50 MGTC , well he drove it down the stairs at the high school and his Dad , my Grandpa took it away from him ! lol ! if Dad were alive today he would be 90 years old ! Love your little MG !! and stay away from them stairs !! LOL !!
Thanks for naming the cat tater. We lost a friend Jon Taylor aka tater many years ago. It helps me to remember my old friend. He was a friend to everyone stranger to no-one. I can guarantee he would be a sleeperdude fan too.
My Dad bought a 1957 TR3 in 1960 and we had so much fun in that little car. He did several auto cross's in it. Had overdrive and indrive (as he called it). Marge is in import heaven now in that MG!
Ralphie has come such a long way...all of the kids actually...Ralphie has aquired so many skills...he's working that tire machine like a pro! Tip...If Wawa were to put those wheels on the tire mount machine and let it rotate...she could use the wire wheel on the bead a lot easier
I love how you all still work as a team on vehicles...just a reminder before winter...ALL the vehicles with water in the radiators change it to antifreeze so your blocks don't crack you have some nice vehicles love your channel 👍😊
worked for firestone they thaught us to line yellow dot up with valve stem. it helps to balance tire so you dont have to put alot of weights on rim. i see alot of people not do it but it really does help sometimes, i would not have to put on weights on rim.
SOS pads work great for cleaning the rims. I had a shop teacher show me that when I was in high-school. I still do that to this day on my 66 chevy stepside pickup
what a great video. A friend in high school had a midget and another friend had a little fiat 850... Man, I worked like crazy on the midget and when we'd get that thing running, it was so awesome... my cousin had a sprite before he went to vietnam and I remember as a kid ripping through the orchard roads in that thing... SOOOO FUN! My brother got an mgb and I remember messing with the dual carbs in the phoenix heat so he could drive back to LA... such fun and finicky cars... what memories! I'm so glad Marge has one.. .you'll get it settled down.... it will be so fun.
Congratulations Marge your little MG is really coming around. 19 years is a long time to wait to drive something. I know because that's how long it took me to get back into my 66 Chevelle. But hopefully you have most of the bugs worked out now and you can really enjoy this micro machine remember though your basically a motorcycle and you have to remember people don't look for little vehicles anymore so keep looking for potential idiots to pull out in front of you sometimes at the last minute just stay safe out there and you will have a great adventure every time you rip this now going to town rig right down to the Dollar General. Enjoyed this video a lot... hope you all recover quickly from the symptoms you are passing around the family now. The kids attend school and with the Petri dishes they are exposed to everyday just never makes it easy to know when they might bring something home for the rest of the family to experience. Hopefully it passes quickly though you and you can get back to living your best lives soon. Also good job Ralph for not missing the test run and being well enough to support the team effort you all put in on this little radio flyer. This family is so awesome thanks for Everything you share and do. You all are raising these kids up right they are not afraid to work and that's rare in today's youth. Kudos Josh and Marge you're doing a great job.
Another great video. Glad to see you get this one back on the road. Marge was all smiles I’m sure. You are truly blessed to be make a living doing something you enjoy AND can include your family. One day when they are older the kids will look back and cherish the times spent with you both and all that you taught them. May God continue to bless your family 🙏
Hey guys! I just wanted to say I've been having the same problem with those copper washers. Being a retired plumber I have a fix. Take your turbo torch and heat those puppies up then let them air cool. It softens the copper and they crush better and don't leak! I hope y'all have a wonderful rest of your weekend. 😁 Ricky from Waco Texas.
The most interesting thing I learned about the copper crush washers for banjo bolts is to tighten the bolt and then smack the bolt head with a hammer and then tighten the bolt again. The hammer smack will make the copper crush to the surface better and make it seal better.
I’m glad Marge got her car going. You guys are something else love this channel. Keep it up brother I know it’s hard work but keep it up the whole family involved. Nothing any better
I loved this one - I restored the Midget's big brother, a 1964 MGB, 22 years ago and it remains the most fun to drive of all the cars I have owned. The secret to these cars being reliable is to drive them! Enjoy many more miles with that big smile on your face.
Thank the LORD for that casing machine!!! So glad to not see you all struggling anymore with changing casings!! Marge looked so happy driving! Great episode! Keep’em coming!
Tosh's smile as she drove her MG said it all. I bet she'll be driving the 'long way' from now on, whenever she's driving the MG... especially is there's a winding country road she can drive it down. Have fun! 🙂
As always a fantastic video , great to see Raphael and wawa getting stuck in, we love tuning in when contents ready , thanks again for sharing , Steve & maz (Uk)
Great vid, brings back so many dodgy memories. I laughed to myself when you said you'd just put that little pipe in the glove box, then lo and behold that was the pipe that failed. I had the same pipe pop in a MG Metro. It was too small and awkward to get back on in a parts store carpark so we bought a bit of pipe, 2 M8 bolts and some cable ties and blanked it off. Stayed like that until the diff blew up. Those brake cylinder circlips are a nightmare! I gave up on my Mini and just put the drum back on, figured it couldn't go anywhere anyway. Have fun with that car I'm sure you'll have plenty of quality wrenching time on it (all in imperial though, you can put away all your newfangled metric tools).
As a Brit living living in the US, there are certain old British cars I miss seeing, and MGs are definitely one! Love love love this video ❤️ And bang up job (British expression that means good job 😂) on the soft top. Well done on that. The popping first and tough to find third are because it’s an old British sports car - basically means sloppy build quality. You might be able to adjust stuff to fix it, or you’ll learn to live with its quirks. Brilliant vid!!!!!!!
Loved today’s show. Marge is so happy to drive her MG ! Wawa is such a big help for you. Prayers for Ralphie to get better and hope everyone else hasn’t caught it . 😮
For 40 years I thought that it was a tire machine myself but through watching these videos I have found out that it is in fact a casing machine. I cannot believe that I went that many years completely misguided.
Your refurb on those Rostyle wheels looks great. You did it exactly the way I did it on my 74 MGB. Paint masks are available but hand brushing is easier (in my opinion).
You got to remember when those MGS were made the British used to use a different system than we did it was called the wallsey system which is in a 30-second scale for everything
Incorrect. It is the Whitworth system. Story I heard was they came up with it during WW2 so the enemy would never be able to work on any captured equipment. It seems to pre-date that though. Appears to have been developed in the late 1800s.
Hi Josh, Loved the MG revival! I worked for British Leyland back in the woebegone 1970’s, always a soft spot for MG. I still own a MG, a 1957 MG Magnette Varitone saloon. Midget needs a headlamp, if spares required , Moss can help you stateside, or NTG in UK. Also love the 1964 Ford Country Sedan! If floor shifter doesn’t run afoul...Id put the bench seat from the Country Squire in there. The buckets would be perfect for a Fox body Ford. Thanks for listening to me! Keep up the good work!!!

I had 18 notifications of RUclips but this channel was the first I went to.!! Why ??? It’s my favourite .!! Thanks for an amazing video.!!
Wow, thank you!
Woohoo I've been waiting for the family to work on this car. Good luck 🙏🙏🙏
You and me both!
Hey guys! I just wanted to say I've been having the same problem with those copper washers. Being a retired plumber I have a fix. Take your turbo torch and heat those puppies up then let them air cool. It softens the copper and they crush better and don't leak! I hope y'all have a wonderful rest of your weekend. 😁

I think that it is awesome that you get to do what you love with your family everyday.
I think so too! Thank you
The most interesting thing I learned about the copper crush washers for banjo bolts is to tighten the bolt and then smack the bolt head with a hammer and then tighten the bolt again. The hammer smack will make the copper crush to the surface better and make it seal better.
👍👍👍
tx josh for the joy you and family bringing
Thank you
I’m glad Marge got her car going. You guys are something else love this channel. Keep it up brother I know it’s hard work but keep it up the whole family involved. Nothing any better
Sleeperdude family is awesome!
Thank you
The smiles on marges face said it all in them moments smilleing ear to ear great video great lil car
Yes!!!
Marge, you are doing a great job in the camera! I appreciate seeing the work being done rather than the person doing the work.
I loved this one - I restored the Midget's big brother, a 1964 MGB, 22 years ago and it remains the most fun to drive of all the cars I have owned. The secret to these cars being reliable is to drive them! Enjoy many more miles with that big smile on your face.
Josh I think this is the car that you show us your body work skills and get the MG looking nice for Marge! At least it’s really small.
Yeah maybe so
Thank the LORD for that casing machine!!! So glad to not see you all struggling anymore with changing casings!! Marge looked so happy driving! Great episode! Keep’em coming!
Yes!! Thank you
So hilarious guys. Glad to see Tasha's Trophy getting worked on. Love the puppy.
Thank you
Tosh's smile as she drove her MG said it all. I bet she'll be driving the 'long way' from now on, whenever she's driving the MG... especially is there's a winding country road she can drive it down. Have fun! 🙂
Great old British classic midget, I restored one for a customer 6 years ago. It was army green, much love from Scotland 🏴
As always a fantastic video , great to see Raphael and wawa getting stuck in, we love tuning in when contents ready , thanks again for sharing , Steve & maz (Uk)
Ralphie is gonna be the kid with his own shop and the coolest car in town
Great vid, brings back so many dodgy memories. I laughed to myself when you said you'd just put that little pipe in the glove box, then lo and behold that was the pipe that failed. I had the same pipe pop in a MG Metro. It was too small and awkward to get back on in a parts store carpark so we bought a bit of pipe, 2 M8 bolts and some cable ties and blanked it off. Stayed like that until the diff blew up. Those brake cylinder circlips are a nightmare! I gave up on my Mini and just put the drum back on, figured it couldn't go anywhere anyway. Have fun with that car I'm sure you'll have plenty of quality wrenching time on it (all in imperial though, you can put away all your newfangled metric tools).
Love the MG. Hope everybody gets well soon.
Thank you
That was so fun to see y’all happy and loving the MG so cool
Thank you
As a Brit living living in the US, there are certain old British cars I miss seeing, and MGs are definitely one! Love love love this video ❤️ And bang up job (British expression that means good job 😂) on the soft top. Well done on that. The popping first and tough to find third are because it’s an old British sports car - basically means sloppy build quality. You might be able to adjust stuff to fix it, or you’ll learn to live with its quirks. Brilliant vid!!!!!!!
MG's have a sound all their own. I forgot about it till I heard yours. Thanks for sharing! Go Marge Go!
Marge was smiling ear to ear about her MG.😃 Great video guys!
Thank you
Still have my fathers 1968 MGB, that he bought new in '68, albeit up on jack stands. Learned to drive manual on it. Fun cars.
That’s awesome that you have it
I remember when spray paint was $0.59 a can that's how old I am I remember when testers little bottles of model paint was 9 cents a bottle😊
Yes!!!!
Those little cars are just awesome!!!
Appreciate the videos and all the hard work
Thanks for watching!
I really think Marge loves her Midget! Great video yall
I was super cool seeing Tosh enjoy her car! Ralphie's a pro on the new machine. Great work guys!
Thank you 🤗
I knew it was time to give the "Thumb up" a press when Ralphy got the axe out !
Yes!!!
Loved today’s show. Marge is so happy to drive her MG ! Wawa is such a big help for you.
Prayers for Ralphie to get better and hope everyone else hasn’t caught it . 😮
Absolutely! Thank you
Boy. Ralphie really handled that tire machine. Well done guys. Those kids have come so far🙏🙏👍💯
Yes! Thank you!
For 40 years I thought that it was a tire machine myself but through watching these videos I have found out that it is in fact a casing machine. I cannot believe that I went that many years completely misguided.
Love the 2-seaters! Great to see this MG back on the road!
Yes!!
at 1:04:08 Wa had me rollin when she brought the hammer back as if she was driving a golf ball down a par 5😅🤣
Love that, she lost her mind😂
Josh, you are really teaching Ralphie some valuable skills. Great episode!
Your refurb on those Rostyle wheels looks great. You did it exactly the way I did it on my 74 MGB. Paint masks are available but hand brushing is easier (in my opinion).
The rims look so good two toned, great idea on painting white strips down the sides, hope every one gets well soon.
You got to remember when those MGS were made the British used to use a different system than we did it was called the wallsey system which is in a 30-second scale for everything
Incorrect. It is the Whitworth system. Story I heard was they came up with it during WW2 so the enemy would never be able to work on any captured equipment. It seems to pre-date that though. Appears to have been developed in the late 1800s.
Just sitting here with a big grin watchin y'all!!!
Awesome thanks
Also when filling antifreeze full tilt front of the car up useing burper fill tool from harbor freight,cost
$34.99 funnel type.😅😂🎉
Those wheels were also used on the base Capri and Capri II. Evidently, supplied by a British manufacturer to many car makers.
Oh awesome
That smile she had when she drove the car reminds me of why we all do this! Great video y’all!
Thank you
My favorite family love y'all
Thank you
Hi Josh, Loved the MG revival! I worked for British Leyland back in the woebegone 1970’s, always a soft spot for MG. I still own a MG, a 1957 MG Magnette Varitone saloon. Midget needs a headlamp, if spares required , Moss can help you stateside, or NTG in UK. Also love the 1964 Ford Country Sedan! If floor shifter doesn’t run afoul...Id put the bench seat from the Country Squire in there. The buckets would be perfect for a Fox body Ford. Thanks for listening to me! Keep up the good work!!!
Yeah I need to fix the metal around the headlight first it’s slightly crushed
@@Sleeperdude Hows the bucket? I may have one if you need one.
