The New England area seems to be our hot spot these last few weeks and this trip takes us to Upstate New York. The family sent us a few photos of this 38 Vert and a short video and we noticed the rear wheel is off, which could be bad. Overall the car looks very solid and was an old hot rod with a Pontiac engine and tuck and roll interior. First hurdle is to dig the car out of the dirt pile and figure out whats going on with the rear wheel. Let's get to work and save this classic Early Ford!!

Matt’s motivational words of the day, “of course it’s an old Ford and we have to rescue it.” Another successful rescue mission of an old gem. Looking forward to you guys working on it at the shop.

Not many did, which makes them more affordable than a 37 or a 39.

Morning Matt & Mike! Your automotive archeology is something I love watching!! Hopefully y'all will be as fortunate with this find as the last one!! Y'all be safe!!

@bladerunner6282 8 месяцев назад

one of the coolest cars from the mid-thirties. BTW, probably a foxhole. what with the deer leg and all. and the excessive digging. WWII vets didn't call their protective excavations in the ground "foxholes" for nothing.

You are sooo lucky. Back in '67 I went with a couple friends to look at a 39 sedan with a Pontiac 389 in it with a 4 bbl carb and aluminum intake . was in primer. Shuddah bought it but already had a 41 and no place to put it. Can't wait to hear it run !

@atlantis2278 8 месяцев назад

Wow ! I have had almost the same thing to do with a 38 Deluxe coupe found asleep in 1996.On the road for the last time in June 1975. Still unfinished today but working in progress after hard work to do. Fortunately, it had the mechanical brakes so it was easier to move it ! Good luck for the restoration.🏆

@michaelguinn5736 8 месяцев назад

I totally agree with you!!

@brianbarney1885 8 месяцев назад

That ‘38 is probably my favorite car you’ve acquired. Too bad I don’t have the wherewithal to buy it and get it fixed up. Not into working on cars anymore but it would be a blast to cruise around in! Love to see how it turns out whoever gets it.

@patjohnson3100 8 месяцев назад

Very nice careful job retrieving that Ford without causing further damage to the car. You really worked hard to save that rare beauty. I'm subscribed so I'll be following the project. I hope you maintain the original appearance and character of this 38 Ford. 1938 was a recession year so American cars from that year are much less common than 1937, 1940 etc. You have an even less common Deluxe model. In the 1970s when I got active with Ford flatheads, 1938 Fords weren't very popular with restorers because of their heart shaped grill. Now they are, because of the art moderne look of the front.

@nstraws326 8 месяцев назад

I watched on tv. Had to comment. Buy some lunch trays! They are more expensive than would send a blind gift not knowing if you would use. Dennis Collins did once, and forgot. When Wheels are locked up, the cafeteria lunch trays act as furniture "moving men". This can save you and (Dennis) hours of and aggravation about sliding a car on the ground. Cafeteria lunch trays for sliding locked up wheels!!!!!!!!

nice survivor, great show guys. I,d love to share this video with the subscribers over at utuber Bad Chad channel. Funny Chad bought a 2 door , he decided to chop it into a convertable, then cut for a carson top, now, he is building a bike hauler out of it. His viewers would like to see a real 38 convert. for sure. Thanks

Put a 3 deuce intake on that Pontiac like a lot of them had and i think it would fit the look of that car fine. Probably move pretty well too!

@michaelreynolds1904 8 месяцев назад

Pontiac engines are remarkably resilient over most others for long-term hibernation. unless something was peeing down the cooperator I'm willing to put 20 Bucks that says it turns over and start. if it's already got a later rear end in it. It might be interesting to just swap it out if that's the problem and keep it that way

@minbannister3625 8 месяцев назад

@todddenio3200 8 месяцев назад

I quit watching Bad Chad. After watching him butcher that sweet Hudson, the T Bird, but the 39 Ford Tudor was the last straw for me. If he would have stuck with chopping up the rotted junkers, I would have continued to watch him, but almost everyone told him to leave it alone when he asked the viewers what he should do with it and he even said he was considering leaving the body stock then he butchered it anyway and I haven't watched him since. If you ask your viewers what you should do and then do the opposite of what they say, that says that you don't care what the viewers say even though you asked, and therefore don't deserve to have those viewers continue watching. Besides that.... HE IS A HACK who builds junk that is going to rust out because he builds right over the top of rust.
