Welcome! My name is Brian Nuñez and this channel focuses on early ford hot rods and events I attend. My goal is to inspire many of you that are just like me, with a simple garage, some tools and a passion for working with our hands and seeing something come to life.
As long as you take the time to build it correctly, it might turn out at a higher quality than most. And remember to do your bolt checks after too!😂 nobody likes finishing an engine and having leftover pieces in the box! Haha!
you are referring to the caption. well noted and agreed... at the end of the day it has to be fun... it can be frustrating or challenging every once in a while... but has to be 80% fun.
@@calirod Not brave enough to run the orange? Bro come on😂 Just say black looks nicer why to act like the orange color would turn your car into a Prius?
@@kinanalhawat6753 ahhh... you do know what its going in right :) , its a 32 ford with no hood or hood sides... so the engine color is very visible. Orange would be period correct, and what should be on the car for a late 50s/early 60s drag car but like I said... not brave enough to run it.
@@calirod good idea scoring it and scratching it so the paint stripper or thinner gets through. Well done. I don’t see good work like that often, car guy to car guy 10/10 Well done and even better showing them how it’s done!
@@calirod just went back and watched all your build. Awesome. Looking to build a 32 5 window. Like your approach of one piece at a time. Very informative and inspiring.
@@calirod hoping the same with my differential cover, 73 nova I just got has chrome oil pan, chrome valve covers, chrome timing cover, and chrome diff cover I'm currently taking apart to fix all the leaks
I had a engine built by a speedshop and he paints all his blocks "gunship grey" unless you insist otherwise. I asked his why. He showed me a couple examples of different colors with oil leaking on them. Grey stuck out like crazy. He said " do you want to know where it's leaking or not? My engine is grey
@@calirod thanks,i looked on the Calirod website,there's not much there for parts?a few crossmembers.i'm trying now to order a new frame,waiting on some answers from Brookville and another supplier but i'll be needing everyhing for axle,suspension and on and on.
@@user-bh5mp5cm9p Thanks for the response... if youd like you can email me at bnunez@calirod.com then I can share my cell phone number with you and help with what ever I can and better explain over the phone. Hope to get your email soon. Thanks!
very nice,is this a Brookville frame?was it built with stamped frame rails or pieced together and welded up rails?very nice.i'm starting another 32 now.
interesting, I recall seeing old ads with orange unless it was in that early 70's era when they went to blue, even on their bowtie logo then reverted back to orange after some Ford backlash.
Glad you painted the block back. After seeing 69 years of orange blocks (1955-present) I’m tired of seeing them orange in anything other than a restoration. At 78 years-old black is my favorite color and my 2nd Gen LT4 is black, and my LS3, LSA, and LS7 engine blocks are all natural aluminum, of course. Good thing you tore the engine down and checked everything. I have seen a crate engine direct from Chevrolet Performance Parts come with a missing main bearing and another engine had some loose rod bolts, not sure how those things could happen. Good luck with your project - I enjoy your videos.
Me too, so especially when you have the alternator mounted on them... thinking about keeping them for a tri power, 327 but its just a "want" at the moment :)
@@calirod An overhaul is replacing all the seals and gaskets. Which you probably did, but not shown in this short. VGG paints an old motor and with each pass exclaims something like “Ooh! New bearings! “
frames and control arms boxed truck ball joints extended rear links...are some of the mods... My co-worker has an 84 Caprice that is juiced. And yes they do break them.
