love the old rusty stuff! I thought rat rods were dying, but ya'll are keeping them alive! Keep going! Good luck for a prosperous 2023 and lots of completed projects!
I'm an old farmer and was identifying every grill and hood you two looked at, it was a lot of fun going with you to the salvage yard. As a matter of fact, I've got to go back to get the name and location. I just may have to make a trip there myself. When I saw the length of this video, I thought I would be fast forwarding through a lot of it. But it was so enjoyable, it went very quickly. A testament to the quality of your videos. A believe "Mousetrap" is going to be another "CWC" Masterpiece. You two always make me smile. God Bless You Both. 🙏😊❤️👍👋🇺🇲
I grew up driving a Ford tractor like that one, so I had many hours looking over the top of that hood, I think it's cool that someone can bring something like that back to life!
Widen it in the rear to match the cowl. You'd widen the middle section of hood like a piece of pie. Love the Ford Tractor grille, that style came in 1953 the Jubilee tractor. Love the Crosley RR.
Enjoy seeing you two more and more as the weeks go by. Builds are very relateable, easy to follow and the creativity behind the fab work is on point. I liked the fact the length of this one was longer than what you normally post. Opening the channel up with an overview and then taking us on the journey of seeking the materials needed for the build was smart thinking. Also liked the fact you included on this weeks episode sharing with us the mock-up/installation of those very parts. You two keep up the great work and take care !!!!
I love it… I think that you should bend each side of the top downward so that you can set the grill at a forward slant so that it looks more like a rats front teeth, also I think it should be mounted in front of the frame bar. Awesome job you two 👍👍👍
First time watching. Enjoy your work. I understand your labor. I have loved custom cars my entire life. You two have “it” in your blood now. Keep the fire burning. Best wishes.
I'm a Southern California Stoneager who really enjoys car stuff. You guys are doing such an amazing job with the coverage of your projects. Your camera work and explanations of everything is top notch. I also enjoy your personalities and your interactions. Love you guys!
You guys are awesome! Can't wait to see the "trap" finished..and Cory, your logo is great but it appears to be missing an H ☺...you guys stay close and keep on building
I have a 1977 Honda Civic I plan to do the same thing to. You guys are giving me the motivation I need to get started on it after I get my 28 model a ratrod back on the road. If you guys are ever in the wake forest area of NC, come help me out
Don't worry about the naysayers the way i see that grill would have probably rusted away you are putting it to use the mousetrap is looking great thanks for sharing with us stay safe my friend
I watch your vids cause I like junk also and seeing what you guys build out of it is very interesting!!! PS. Love the down to earth people u present yourselves to be. AWSOME 😊
Badass, my knees are hurting watching you, I did a similar setup in a cummins jeep rat rod, I like 7-10 deg caster, no bump steer and returns to center quick, good job you guys!!
Maybe you could weld some round bar on the edge of the good in place of windo trim,,, that way it can't come off plus it would sturdy the hood up as well,,, just a suggestion,, 👍
Hey guys love the look of Mousetrap. She’s coming along great. I did like the yellow heavy duty grill and the “hood scoop “. Could have turned them upside down and used the lights on the bottom or made them fog lights. Keep up the great work and see ya next video…
You two are awesome. I so enjoy your videos. Yes, the Ford tractor guys were cringing the whole time. But the good news is, those hoods and grills are readily available as reproductions. Keep up the great work!
The grill looks great! The upper link on the front suspension needs to be able to pivot or it will bind up/ not lineup it you weld it like it is. That or you can put a bend in the the rear and make it parallel where the heim joints are so it doesn't bind when you adjust them. Just google radius arm suspension.
The Ford tractor hood and front end look like it's from The Diamond Jubilee model that would have been red and white and you could always Photoshop the Crosley & the hood together ;-)
I wish I lived closer to you guys because if you needed help I would be right there. I’ve owned and built a couple of rats and although I’m not doing complete jobs I sure would like to help. I subscribed the minute I saw your video and you guys remind me of my wife and I as we have a lot of laughs together when we do projects. You guys are a hoot and love the channel.
Hannah does have the model runway walk down. My personal preference is still #1 because I can see exactly what Cory meant when it matched the Crosley's lines...Line up the center divider in the grill with the center divider in the windshield. Yes, I own a 1964 Ford 4000 Diesel tractor I use on a weekly (weather permitting, no all-weather cabs in 1964...yes, levity intended), and sometimes daily, basis, and I'm like...Oh Nooooooooo...Not to be confused as Mad as Hell!! I'm not one that watches thinking, Oh, I could do that, but more like, "Oh...That's how you can do that." Note to Cory: I think front pipe cross-member, for lack of a better term, is a very good idea. Very clean, finished look. Still laughing at the ending! Another great video. Please keep them coming!
I love how you two get along and she is a clean freak and when I worked in my shop I had to clean my own mess up my wife did not like her hands dirty but at least you still have each other my better half is not with me any more and I love how well you both get along but your little car looks great I had one that was all complete and ran but im so big I would not fit in it but my wife liked it to drive to town I lived in Farmington New Mexico just keep up the good work just wish I had more money I would love a hat but it will have to wait maybe some day I can get one love you both and your shoe you both have a wonderful time together and keep up the good work
Like where the project is going guys and the trip to the tractor graveyard was like a trip to the past forgot that farm and excavators need a place to be picked clean for parts too like the choice of grill for the Crosley and as far as the diehard Ford critics go at least the grill has a good home now can't wait to see the next installment guys be careful and stay safe my friends God love ❤ ya both
Love your show but you need to flip the front axle over because the kingpin angle is backwards. Hope you didn’t fully weld it yet. Keep the videos coming.
You can trim the edges of the grill in 1/4 inch round stock. Just use tacks every inch and will keep keep to the rat rod look, and strengthen the edge of the floppy metal
When yall have a cut piece of pipe to be transferred, wrap a piece of paper around the pipe and trace it by scraping pencil around edge, unfold and cut, then put it on the new piece of pipe to be cut.. thanks for the good content and being decent folks, much love and God bless you and yours
