This makes me smile from ear to ear. I have a 37 Tudor humpback that was me and my dad’s project and I’m now going to get my son in the garage to finally get it on the road
wow !!-nothing--but nothing beats the sound of an "old-flathead-ford" !!-If I was on Mars,-I would know that "sweet-music''---it really gets in your blood !!!
Ive been fortunate to have had a couple big 80s American luxury cars a couple years ago, but one of these 1937 fords will always be my goal to obtain someday! Nothing beats the sound and styling of those things man
There were many V8 engines before Ford, but mainly in more expensive luxury cars. Ford produced one of the first affordable V8 cars starting with the 1932 model. In the 1920s and early 1930s Henry Ford wanted to produce cars the working man could afford. The Great Depression put many expensive car manufacturers out of business.
I love being taken for a in a classic oldie down a country road, looking ahead as though I were a passenger, admiring the dashboard and the gear shifting, and the sound of that engine. Thanks for the ride!
Congratulations young man for restoring and preserving in its original form that beautiful 1937 Ford. I remember my pregnant mother driving an identical 1937 Ford Flathead V8 engine. I love Ford V8s and even today I enjoy the sound of my free exhaust from my 96 Explorer 302 V8 engine. I look forward to your next videos
Thanks for sharing this beautiful car with us, Josh! Loud? Nahhhhh....! I believe she sounds exactly as she deserves to sound! 'Love the jeweled tips, as well! Classy! Enjoy! Be safe! Bro Harry
The '37 Ford will be a eye catching view as you driver her on by! Even the Chevy lovers will take notice. Sweet ride with fancy tailpipe tips to shoot flames one day?? LOL
I remember an uncle of mine owned such a Ford car, and as a little kid, clearly remember his rubber bladed fan that appeared to be mounted on his dashboard near the driver side window (rather than on the steering column).
@@QuickSpeedShop Believe me, I know, I've got 5 old cars and I can only seem to keep one going at a time! But I don't mind if they all don't run, I like looking at them too! LOL! Hang tuff friend, I love your videos.
Looks good, fancy tail pipe tips nice touch. I love the sound no such thing as too LOUD but that's just me. Is the 40 Mercury on hold for now I know you had some suspected clutch issues and engine temp concerns keep up the good work look forward to Sun and Monday videos.
So I couldn't find where you updated us as to if the reverse eye rear spring mod was a success with the longer shackels. Do you need a panhard to tighten up the rear? And how much did the rear actually drop??
Take off the exhaust tips. Doesn't look good at all. Put some Cherry Bombs on. It will sound a lot better. As is would be ok in the wilds of Montana or streaking along Rte.2 in N.Dekota. I keep hearing a valve tap noise. It may be the exhaust note. Car is really cool though. Flatheads are awesome engines. Best wishes for a great car.
Sounds like she's going to need that tune up soon or your going to be fouling plugs every time you fire it up. once you get it hitting on all 8 you're going to feel the difference and it should sound a bit better.
It's running with a really old condenser right now because the brand new one failed after about 10 minutes. Rest of fuel and ignition system is new or rebuilt.
Camera mics never do justice to an exhaust note, I know from buddies that have had stock flat heads with straight exhaust that they sound really good in person, the camera mic makes it sound obnoxiously loud like it has no pipe what so ever. Now you got to put in a "3/4" race cam (aggressive but streetable cam) to make that pipe sing.
I hear you on the camera mic problem. I think the engine might have a cam in it as it idles lumpier that other stock flatheads I heard run. It has adjustable lifters in it so might have some sort of cam too.
I drive every day, why? Oh, you mean you don't like how I drove this car in this video? FYI, I had just swapped a 59AB into it, had literally just got it running, this was pretty much the first drive and the first time the car had been around the block in several years. It also needs tuning and shaking down, but that can't be it. It just must be that I suck at driving, yeah that's it.
