Well , joey , we like you in the USA Keep up the great work in the videos.Thank you so much for sharing. You don't need people like that anyway. You have lots of friends here.
Damn! It must have been a full time job pissing off every douche canoe and his bow legged grandma to infinity (WhoVille)and beyond!(The Great White North) Or was it just a part time gig, something to do in between building hot rods, consuming mass quantities of biers and the search for the elusive bearded clam & working for some dough to buy more car parts and more beers. Whatever your method(s) to get their panties in a bunch for the past 40 + years it must have worked, and their car clubs name has just been officially changed to The Syph'litic Parasitics.
Good Day Mr. KoO. I don't know if I'd want to run a flywheel made in China. Nostalgia: I was at Detroit Dragway one time down at the "Big End" watching from the fence when I potted something with gear teeth on it sticking up out of the grass. I hopped over the fence and got what turned out to be a piece of flywheel. It was from some kind of engine that had the starter gear made right on it and had a recessed area for the disc. It broke right at one of the crankshaft bolt holes and looked like a slice of pie. That's quite a distance from the track to where I found it, so it had to've been traveling at a pretty good clip, Trust China? Not me. OK, we'll see you tomoro. ben/ michigan
I've been following your escapades for something like 15 years. I've never understood why you get so much grief from Whoville. Keep making videos and we'll keep watching. Thanks Joey!
Most groups are cliques and haven't moved on from their school playground days. It took me 25 years to get to an alumni banquet. 5 years and it will 50 years since graduating and I almost think the once 50 years is enough. Doesn't matter what it is the same type of people are in everything. The worst is those that go for the trophys buy paying someone else to do the work. People are people.
Lots of hot rod clubs without attitude and family environment in the U.S.A. that would love to have your talent shared , whoeverville loss not yours ....
Ah, the memories. Back in mid 70's I bought a dismantled 70 SS chevelle. Kid that had it totally took it apart as he thought the motor blew. Turns out the ring gear flywheel plate for the torque converter was loose and rattled the bolt holes oblong. Took me 15 minutes after I reassembled it enough to start, to figure it out. Loved that car. Then messed up and got married. She was afraid our kid would someday get himself killed with it, so I let it go. Should have kept the car and got rid of the hoe! She left anyways several years later, to be with her boss from work. The son stayed here and now I have 2 grandsons! Oh yeah, the hoe moved back into the area after her wonder D**k dumped her after 18 years! She wanted to be near "Her Grandkids" supposedly. God I miss that car! And now the thing would be worth serious money, not so much with the X
First! Joey said: "Must've been a good time... since we don't hear anything". Here in 🇧🇷 we had a saying (before the new world buried our language and culture): "Bad news spread fast!"
@@kingofobsolete4789 got so Manny projects of my own doing a little semi retiring they won't let me but I'm pushing it gotta pay the bills love what ur doing and what I'm doing most of time excellent Joey cheers 🥂
Wow that is awesome doing a moter in 10 hrs. Took me over half a year in high school just for a 6 cylinder. Then to find out the valve seats blew oil. 😂 outstanding job buddy. Rick
Ah the 80ies, I was young and dumb and full of stupidity. 1st reget getting married, 2nd regret was selling my 1971 Dodge SuperBee in lime green with a 383 magnum with a 4 speed with 4:11 posi track . She was fast as ever . The State of Mean made me bring the car to thier shop for inspection and wouldn't let me tag it unless is passed .🤬🤬🤬🤬
it was 7 years ago this weekend that they film a pilot TV show on my life. we got dropped like a pregnant mistress for the rust bros. oh well. i am enjoying my success here on youtube with interaction with everyone thansk
I always thought that some day I would rebuild a small block,but probably never will. The fastest car I will ever own was a Pontiac wagon with a 400 small block 2 barrel,100 mph was no effort,thanks for a very interesting video
Thanks for the memories. Back in the mid eighties I had a 67 Chevelle. It had a 350 bored and stroked, big cam, 4 barrel carb the whole nine yards. My second regret is selling it and having no pictures. My first regret is my ex wife lol.
yes losing those vehicles hurts the most but you have your memories. back then we worked, had fun and bettered our hot rod vehicles. now we work and barely able to live in the new world, lol thansk
Morning from Gagetown, nice.. the old Dodges are back in the spotlight. I’m a die hard dodger fan, however since finding your channel I have become very fond of the old Chevy trucks. They look incredible. I doubt I’ll get to build a rat rod, but it would be be either a Dodge or chev truck for sure. Not much of a selection in New Brunswick, the salt gets most trucks here. Hope everyone has a great day 🇨🇦🇺🇸
yes that is true, the east coast salt rusts them away pretty quick. i think they were all the same back then with styling. in todays world it is all about being able to get parts and chevy has the most re-produced parts being made and easy to get online. thansk
OK Mr. KoO, you might get a kick out of this: Back in 1971 I bought a 1969 Plymouth GTX that was in a front end collision. The engine was bad too. The guy I bought it from was in Jail for racing on the street. I went with his mother to the credit union to make his last two payments and get the title. I remember it like it was yesterday. She was hopping mad because she'd been making all the payments on it for several months. Anyhow, I got junk yard frontend parts and put an engine in it myself. I even painted it. That car could go beyond 120 mph, but was not very aerodynamic and any faster it was starting to become airborne, so that's all the faster I ever drove it. I am surprised your truck could go so fast, but I'm no aerodynamics engineer. But I did experience a faster drive one time. A friend got a brand new 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda 340, 4 speed for graduation and he let me drive it on a trip to Northern Michigan. It was much more aerodynamic than my GTX so I drove it 135 mph on that one trip to the north country and it handled like it was going 70 even at that speed. His rear axle was 3.55, too high to go any faster. We were taching at 5,900 rpm. I still have my GTX but since those days I have no need for that kind of speed. Eh! Thanks for jogging my memory. Have a relaxing holiday. ben/ michgan
sounds like you were at the right place at the right time. the 37 dodge hot rod truck was built for traveling and we traveled lots on the weekends. the truck was a dog till 30mph and like to run at 70mph. oh the memories thansk
@@kingofobsolete4789 Goes to show that they had aerodynamics figured out pretty good in 1937. With all the gas mileage requirements they have today where they give marginal AC and marginal charging systems to attain better mileage what are they thinking with these big flat front trucks.
@@tomarmstrong4156 yes the 37 did not have much wind wind problem plus all the weight was down low. my dad speced it out and i just followed along. we started on a 55 chevy and he figured to drop that and start on the hot rod truck to be more fun. the factory hot rod of today are made to handle and stop not like in the 1970s thansk
Good video Joey. I've never had that trouble with old hardware . That nut that broke may have been heated and quenched over the years and was made brittle. Who knows? Thanks bye.
Good morning from Cape Cod ⛵ Shifting gears on projects again Joey. Just a heads up, my experience with RockAuto is you have a 60/40 chance of the parts actually not failing. Summit Racing my go to parts supplier for internals, 💯 OnPoint. No it's not cheap but I learned my lesson failed parts in the past, I really don't like doing things twice. I follow one of your fellow Canadians, DD Speed Shop, reach out to him about getting a Muncie, I believe he has a handful of them. He likes road trippin maybe you guys can collaborate and he can bring you a tranny. Personally I prefer a real women 😂 did I say that 😂 I'm going to leave that there a screw political correctness 😂 all right that's all for now have a great Sunday guys ✌️🇺🇲
the joys of living at the end of the world only certain companies will mail up here. other companies use the fedex and ups with soak us good on freight. i think it does not matter where you order from, all new parts in todays new world are not very good as the good old days. oh well. i will let Sir Rodney handle the purchase of the 4 speeds since he is in that business. thansk
