I beg to differ on the tools. I was disappointed to see them use a modern LED light while cleaning out the fuel tank. I would of thought they would use a period correct Whale oil lamp. 😅 What’s next….a Dyson?
It's amazing the number NOS parts your viewers have squirrelled away and they generously send to you to keep the amazing old relics functioning as they were intended. Just love your collection of old early 1900s tools. Greeting from East Texas.
A club member cleaned the scale from his '30 Ford coupe a Saturday afternoon by figure eight rotating in his driveway using small round pebbles for media. Sitting on lawn chairs he on one end and his dad on the other. To save evening back pain I suggest bungie cording the tank to a cement mixer changing angles occasionally.
Dear @@waynespyker5731 👍👌👏 That's definitely a good, common and easy way to do it. At least if you mean a concrete respectively mortar mixer (because cement is only one ingredient of the concrete/mortar recipe). ;-) 😁 A good friend of mine once used a windshield wiper motor with a wooden plate on it. Onto this he strapped the tractor tank. This simple DIY device ran very well and much quieter than a concrete mixer. He used old rusty screws as abrasive cleaning material. Afterwards the inside of the tank and the screws had been really clean and rust free. Best regards, luck and health in particular.
It’s such a joy to watch Strong’s Garage at work - you really do have the right tools, not a mole grip in sight tightening a spark plug. It’s super to see that many generous folk are donating rare gems to your period workshop. I feel sure that your underwear is correct too!
17:14; one step that would be recommended is the lube the distributor point cam lobes with a drop of silicon or light grease. It gives the points contact rub block some longevity.
My dad's first car was a 31 Chevy coupe with rumble seat he paid 25 dollars for from who turned out to be my grandfather now I have a 30 chevy sedan that was turned into truck during wwll 194 CID 6 cylinder runs good and has 2 3 speed transmission's back to back and wooden spoke 20 inch wheels
Geezer car guy here. Until watching this episode, I never knew that AC stood for Albert Champion. And I didn't know Champion plugs was anything more than a catchy brand name. Zim tool is cool.
My Father who was born in 1921 told me his first car was a 1928 Chevrolet that he paid $ 125.00 for. Doesn't sound like a whole lot but then again he was making a $ 1.25 a day plus his lunch logging with a team of horses. I can only imagine.
When your old gas gauge goes out you throw a couple of rocks in your fuel tank, and ever bump is a different ring in you tank letting you know the level of your gas.
I love the old Chevy what happened to GM the brand new cars they make now are just junk thanks for the video I enjoy them very much have a great day pretty soon it's be summer you can Cruise 😊
Good one fella's.. I like details about tools of old & how they fixed them... That boring machine that you used on Scotts rod bearings was cool... Amazing that lead was used ...Goes to show how simple cars were compared to today.
I worked with my great uncle at his tire shop for 25 years and everytime it snowed we had to put the chains on all the postal wagons. Great day to you all.
Plugs hanging on by a couple threads, hand tight, huge gaps, two gaskets, six different spark plug makes...don't drink and tune-up, kids. Hadn't thought about the dozen or so tire chains hanging up in my grandparent's old garage in years! Identical to yours, with crusty, old leather straps. Super enjoyable episode, guys! Thanks for letting us hang out.
That old Chevy sure cleaned up nice, it was great seeing it out playing in the snow! I also appreciated the vacuum hose modification trick. It will be a real time saver the next time I'm doing my seasonal gas tank vacuuming.
I do not have any old parts to send you Guys But I truly want to thank those viewers that have and will send their old stash of parts to you all to get to live a life that they were built for. Great video Jim and Matt keep up the good work.
Matt + Jim, great video as usual! One comment though I hope you put a dab of grease on the distributor points cam. Otherwise that new point arm will quickly wear down. All the best!
Matt, Jim, love the show. Nice long video and so informative and fun to watch! That Chevrolet is a runner and a looker. Great show. Until next time, cheers from Wisconsin
I'm certainly up for that although I think the empties should be used for display. Made me wince when the flap came off the Filco box. Nice, collectible box. I have a few NOS spark plugs in a case on my wall.
Imagine trying to cross the Rockies during the winter like they did way back yonder on those ole gravel roads. I guess you just wouldn't take such a chance without risking your life. Man those ole pioneers were tough hardy people. When I look at this ole jalopy it just shows how far the automobile has come. Wow You've done a decent job cleaning this ole car up and getting it back on the road with a little bit of Tender loving care. Good Stuff.
A friend of mine was gifted a beautiful original '31 coupe, and he generously let me drive it last summer-interesting experience-about 45 mph is all out-it must have a really high gear ratio rear end-great video guys-thanks!
Where can you go for a dab of old car resto sunshine? Strong's garage! Cold War Motors is the Yang to your Ying, unkempt, obsessive and full of dark humor and darts; Strong's is bursting with cheer, order and color. Fans can explore all sides of our "hobby" without putting down our phones. Then, there's Carter-- the Rasputin of bodyshop geniuses... Long live Kanadian Kar Kulture!
I really love Matt and Jim on this channel. They get along so well and the content is always top notch. Matt is multi talented. I remember seeing him at Scotts Cold War Motors christmas party playing the guitar. Jim is talented to with many interesting projects including his 1956 Lincoln that Scott is helping him with. I love his personality. I would love to see you guys do a video on just your shop going around to everything and explaining the tools and the layout of Strongs garage.
Don't knock it, for years before this kiddo weather we been having the past 40 years you had to carry them in the car back in the day. Thank you for sharing your work with us.
Another engrossing video, who would think that in bringing the Chevy back to the road, you would have NOS parts to fit? Amazing but a joy to see and to have it out in the snow on period snow chains, a bit like being transported back to the time when this car was someone's pride and joy and their daily driver. Fantastic, best wishes guys.
That was great seeing the Chevy running again especially in the snow. It's amazing the collection of tools and equipment you have and use. I haven't seen anyone put on tire chains in a long while. That car is ready to use as a daily.😊
I had a cousin who worked with brother in auto repair. Albert had one harm. He lost it in a combine. It took his arm including the shoulder blade off. He could set the points and time a car one handed.
Scott would hemorrhage because of not cleaning the starter to new or better than new condition. My advice is never disturb a sleeping problem... if its working then just leave it alone... short of tune ups of course. The valve covers were designed to if not bent down from a wrong tightening thing.. the acorn nut on the top was the torque for it.. Nice job guys
Thanks for sharing another great video. I appreciate your editing very much. You show the mishaps but pass over the tedious valve adjusting. I also appreciate the use of books and proper tools. You guys are the best
What a amazing car. This could easy win a summer beater challenge. Beside how many of these do you see around? I would say almost none. There is a rattling noise that can be heard from the engine while it's in gear. I wonder what it could be?
What a great project that will be for somebody. Its mostly all there, it runs & actually sounds good. The world needs all the 31 Chevs it can get. On I-75 in Detroit yesterday morning, drove past the Ford Plant on my way back to Canada, was thinking about you guys. It would be like visiting Mecca for Strong's Garage.
My friend’s dad told me when they still lived in India my friend put rocks into the tank of his Studebaker Champion. My friend said he thought it would make it go faster!
I had friends that had a 31 just like that one but a roadster and looked like a brand new one, and ran so smooth and quiet and had actually bought it from a used car dealer friend that had picked it up at a car auction in the early 60's, I could not tell for sure of any replacements except both frt & rumble seat were vinyl and paint had to be a respray but i never saw any evidence of it. All the bright work was flawless.

Top 3 channel on the Tubes for this guy. Never miss an episode. Using period correct tools is outstanding.
really cool to see you guys doing this in an old service station, with old tools, and old benches, and old parts, just unparalleled
Thanks for another , Brothers !!
I beg to differ on the tools. I was disappointed to see them use a modern LED light while cleaning out the fuel tank. I would of thought they would use a period correct Whale oil lamp. 😅
What’s next….a Dyson?

@@agomodern not very many. Those that are made are not original equipment. Most parts are made in China these days.

no wait that came out wrong....

The brilliant use of the "handyman's secret weapon" makes me wish for more Red Green in the world.
Geezer car guy here. Until watching this episode, I never knew that AC stood for Albert Champion. And I didn't know Champion plugs was anything more than a catchy brand name. Zim tool is cool.
While removing the valve cover, you came up with a great title for a RUclips show. "Two Simple Nuts." Lots o fun to see your work.
This is AWESOME 😊I LOVE NEW CLICK AND CLACK SHOW
Close as it comes.
Someone that uses books today is such a refreshing aspect of this show. No cell phone needed here! Love it!
Two-tone green...just in time for St. Patrick's Day!

I can smell the old gas all the way from Memphis. thanks for the memory

Watching old cars drive in the snow is a very fine thing and you guys just raised the bar on that.
Good one fella's..

What a sweet ol' Chevy. Nice touch with the vintage correct tuneup parts.
Jim wishes it was a Ford 🤣I wish it was a Dodge . Nice work boys . 👍🏻

What’s the thinking behind iodine on the spark plugs? Never heard of that before.
What a lovely original car . Top blokes 👍👍👍
Love seeing the old girl getting some love and coming back to life! Well Done.
👍
✌Nice period correct tune up, no need for pushin gloves
That old Chevy sure cleaned up nice, it was great seeing it out playing in the snow! I also appreciated the vacuum hose modification trick. It will be a real time saver the next time I'm doing my seasonal gas tank vacuuming.

I'm waiting to see a Studebaker!
I own a 1951 CHEVROLET DELUXE with the same 6 cylinder
Actually, that was fun! Great seeing you bring the old Chevy back to life. What was with the rocks in the gas tank?
You guys are doing great love the show
What a beautiful ol' Chevy. Congrats on 12k subscribers and cheers to many, many more. Love the channel, guys. 👍
Thanks guy's i am in my 80's and i really straight 6's 👍
Shoe🇺🇸
Matt + Jim, great video as usual! One comment though I hope you put a dab of grease on the distributor points cam. Otherwise that new point arm will quickly wear down. All the best!
Matt, Jim, love the show.
Nice long video and so informative and fun to watch!
That Chevrolet is a runner and a looker.
Great show. Until next time, cheers from Wisconsin
12K... Woohooooo!
You should have a giveaway of the old new stock boxes the spark plugs came in.
I'm certainly up for that although I think the empties should be used for display. Made me wince when the flap came off the Filco box. Nice, collectible box. I have a few NOS spark plugs in a case on my wall.
Hello Jim and Matt!! CWM sent me over here to watch the fun!! GREAT show!!
The wave from Matt in the rumble seat - classic. Currier & Ives classic.
I'm be watching when you first started both exceptional mechanics, good job Matt & Jim.
Crazy I commented on mr. Carter, how does my, comment end up on your show? is this some weird Canadian conspiracy?
I wonder what a tune and service like this would have cost back in the day. Great video guys.
It's always a pleasure to peek into your shop!
You guys hit the spot every time, you always manage to make an old 4 banger 1928 Chevy survivor car owner grin!
I love watching you guys do all this work the old fashioned way. I E the right way.

Another great video
Come on spring!
Another great one guys.! The old Chev sounds good but looking forward to the Model A coupe. Cheers from NZ. -Wayne.
Hit the like button! Holding that same ZIM tappet adjuster in my hand wondering when it was used and by whom…thanks for the education guys!
Good morning and great day to you all and enjoy your Sunday.
I did not know the spark plugs were left hand thread.
Cool Chev Boys!
Another fine episode!!!

So much fun and loved the tire chains and the ride in the rumble seat
Nicely done guys!😁
Have a great weekend.
Perfectly PURRRfect! Drives like a Dream! Great job, fellas! Thanks for the excellent content!

Good gracious thats a great car.
Super cool to see Matt back walking on his own, I wrecked my ankle in September in a similar way. Cheers boys!
Great old Chev.
Love this little coupe! Nice to see it out on the road... Looking forward to another visit soon fellas... Keep up the great work!
Will it run better? Of course!! When your using NOS parts and tools!!
Well done gentlemen!!
Are you stuck with gasohol in the Great White North? It’s the default down here, but you can buy pure gas in the Carolinas and VA.
Don't knock it, for years before this kiddo weather we been having the past 40 years you had to carry them in the car back in the day. Thank you for sharing your work with us.
Oh yeah. Perfect
Thanks lads, that was great! All the best, Mart in England.
@4:18 That gear cluster has me curious as to what vehicle that belongs to.
Another engrossing video, who would think that in bringing the Chevy back to the road, you would have NOS parts to fit? Amazing but a joy to see and to have it out in the snow on period snow chains, a bit like being transported back to the time when this car was someone's pride and joy and their daily driver. Fantastic, best wishes guys.
Thanks for the video Guys, Always a treat.
All good ! Keep at it !

I had a cousin who worked with brother in auto repair. Albert had one harm. He lost it in a combine. It took his arm including the shoulder blade off. He could set the points and time a car one handed.
It's nice to have easy access to the plugs.
Scott would hemorrhage because of not cleaning the starter to new or better than new condition. My advice is never disturb a sleeping problem... if its working then just leave it alone... short of tune ups of course. The valve covers were designed to if not bent down from a wrong tightening thing.. the acorn nut on the top was the torque for it.. Nice job guys
Such an incredible car, gentleman. Well done, both of you.
Thanks for sharing another great video. I appreciate your editing very much. You show the mishaps but pass over the tedious valve adjusting. I also appreciate the use of books and proper tools. You guys are the best
What a amazing car. This could easy win a summer beater challenge. Beside how many of these do you see around? I would say almost none. There is a rattling noise that can be heard from the engine while it's in gear. I wonder what it could be?
You guys rock!
Excellent Red Green reference!
Time for a Lincoln update!!!!!
Iodine on spark plugs never heard of that before what does it do?
I have the same car - it’s a bit shinier- but interesting to see the adjustments you made. Now if I can figure out why my horn stopped working!
Hiya Matt and Jim
As usual, interesting video. Would loved to have seen a bit of a closer look at the valve adjustment tool in operation. Thanks guys
Man that ole chev is sweet
Great episode. Thinking best one yet. Keep it goin!
A 1931 car with AC? Precocious chap, Johnnie Yankee... 👍
One of the many GM factories in Flint MI (back in the day) was the Albert Champion parts plant.
"My dad works second shift at AC spark plug."
Can I be friends with you two? Brings back a lot of memories. Great job!
Man o man you two get to play with some great toys .
What a great project that will be for somebody. Its mostly all there, it runs & actually sounds good. The world needs all the 31 Chevs it can get.
On I-75 in Detroit yesterday morning, drove past the Ford Plant on my way back to Canada, was thinking about you guys. It would be like visiting Mecca for Strong's Garage.
Really nice content well done strong bros.
That is a sweet old rig and has really come around since you guys got it.
My friend’s dad told me when they still lived in India my friend put rocks into the tank of his Studebaker Champion. My friend said he thought it would make it go faster!
What a treat you step back in time with you guys. I absolutely love it!! Keep up the great work 👍
I had friends that had a 31 just like that one but a roadster and looked like a brand new one, and ran so smooth and quiet and had actually bought it from a used car dealer friend that had picked it up at a car auction in the early 60's, I could not tell for sure of any replacements except both frt & rumble seat were vinyl and paint had to be a respray but i never saw any evidence of it.
