Mr. Goodpliers and Joe head to the estate of an old hot rodder to search the parts and projects! For any inquiries I can be reached at mrgoodpliers1985@gmail.com eBay: smith.joyl
I could spend hours browsing through all that vintage speed equipment. My first car was a 39 Ford std coupe that I bought for $75.00. My best bud in HS had a 40 Mercury coupe with a 57 Pontiac engine. What a great time to grow up when new car models were different every year.
Thumbs up, thanks for bringing us along, maybe Adventures from scratch will pop in, you found some good stuff there, You called it just right on that truck, and that old ford tractor went cheap also
Had no idea the lathe would go so cheap. I help a friend recover a Rockford economy lathe that is stored in my garage. I have turned a couple of things on it. Must of been on a line belt system ages ago.
@Mr.Goodpliers I was fortunate to have time to work on several cars with my Dad over the years. He was a true Hot Rodder in my pre-teen years but also had something reliable to drive to work. The last car was a 39 Ford. You saw me buy it in Sherman. It still needs a lot of work. Solo project now. Good luck on the Falcon. Russell
I am amazed how much you know about this old classic car stuff. I was young in the Sixties, so I am suposed to know some basic things. But at your tender age, it is amazing what you know! Seeing this bin of slightly crusty bolts: They can be so handy. As I live in Europe there are sometimes bolts I could not even source where I live. I have boxes full of stuff like that, but sometimes I could not find what iÎ needed. More than once I had some bolts sent along with some second hand parts I sourced overseas.
Once I learn facts, shapes, and applications, it's hard to forget them. My dad had a shelf of Chilton manuals with drawings of the front ends of each model year of every brand, which I would study at a young age. I cleaned out an old car lot which had been hoarded full of spare parts. It came down to the end of the job, and I had many 5 gallon pails of bolts. I saved a couple and scrapped the rest, realizing I'll probably barely use a handful in my lifetime. I saw a video on guys refurbishing old cars in Cuba, making replacement bolts on a lathe. I felt a little guilty squandering something they find so scarce, but they'd just sit and rust here.
I was renting an apartment years ago and a neighbour had a 40 Ford hood boat 😁😁. His was powered with a 2 stroke lawn mower engine with a 3' shaft and little propeller. Just the ticket for Duck shooting on a small stream or calm lake.
8N had convex wheels and running (foot) boards . 2N was rebadged to the 9N during WW2 because of Govt price controls. They couldn't raise the price, so they came out with a "new" model. I am sure other changes were made too, I would bet, I am not an authority on them.
The Ford tractor is a 9n . Wide 5 front bolt pattern , foot pegs instead of foot boards. The Model A pickup project isn't a Ford . It appears to be a Chevy maybe a truck or could be a shortened sedan. Different belt lines and a cowl vent instead of a cowl fuel tank. For what it's worth😊
Please, please don't put off working on cars with your precious Daddy, Tim !!!! Believe me, when it's too late it's too late !!!! God bless you and your Dad !!!!! Eddy
Those So-Cal Speed Shop catalogues from the 50’s-60’s at 8:09 would have been fun to page through. Did you grab them? And at 11:04 a sign for your buddy Silas
Time with your dad is the most important - we come into this world with nothing, and leave with nothing, even if one has acres and acres of rusty old cars at the end! My goal is not to be one of those guys with a back yard full of unfinished projects left for my family to dispose of.
@@ronosga4391 The late TT trucks had 6.00 or 6.50 X 20 tires on the rear. The TTs used the same tires as cars on the front. The early TT would have had 30 X 3-1/2 on the front. The last TTs had 4.50 X 21 fronts. This is the same tire as was on most 1925/26/27 cars. The tire 20" Tim bought was a car size, as was used on a 1929 Chevy, and probably many other makes. Model A cars were introduced with 21" tires and changed to 19" for the last two years of production. No Ford car was ever built new with 20" tires, as far as I know. Good point about the truck tires though.
This auctioneer doesn't follow the tables row to row in a linear fashion. People pull items up that they want to see sold. There were over 40 tables - I did miss a few things
