We're going flathead racing again at Pinetree Jamboree and the event is 2 weeks away. Jolene's top speed last summer was 57 mph and her goal this summer is to hit 60 mph so Nathan is here to make some mechanical tweaks to get things running where they should be - let's do it!
Pinetree Jamboree is September 15-17 and is held at the Winterport Dragway in Maine! 🏁

On your new shed it would be good if you had a large shutter door at the back as well, so if you needed to move stuff out it would be easier and you will also get a better air though the building when both doors are open and if you ever want to extend the building at the back it would be easier to link them. You are all a great team, love watching.

@mrfatbobrider1969 Год назад

Hi guys Get some trickle chargers for your batteries Chad you can keep them on charge forever and they cut down the power and keep your batteries charged and ready to go , best thing I ever invested in for my motorcycle and they come with two leads one to stay on the battery and the other is for use off the vehicle… trust me you’ll be happy with them

@dannycameron7835 Год назад

Chad. To lock rear the right way just pull out top and bottom spiders. Weld across between two gears the 180 and do the same directly oppsite. The do same to bottom spider. Then carefully slip each back in place. Now the grears wont roll over each other thus locking axles together. If you just weld together in place they could and will break loose. My way they will never fail cause they wont roll over each other. Love you guys. Watch every day.

@petercooke9235 Год назад

the firewall with the holes would be like a blast furnace if you had a fuel or oil fire at speed.......dangerous...

@normdyer94 Год назад

Flathead racing: Mill the heads for higher compression ratio, mill for valve clearance. Or just delete the head gasket with high temp permatex, Alum intake manifold for 3 dueces, Polish the ports and exhaust pipe interiors. upgrade plugs and coil for hotter reliable spark. 2 plugs per cylinder option. Make sure the clutch springs are stiff enough to not slip too much. Check the water pumps for no friction, no stiffness. Don't overfill the engine oil, the extra splashing eats HP. Spend the time to get the carbs dead on fuel air ratio. Exhaust pipe megaphones pull it out. Extreme case: add a 1949 diesel truck turbo.

@dthanson56621 Год назад

Anti freeze raises the boiling point,so it cools better with it,but most dragstrips don't like it used because it gets slick if you get a spill.

@mitchelllavalley3497 Год назад

Thank you Jolene for sharing the photos from the book, builds the anticipation for the race at Pine tree Truly something else when you leave a vehicle set for a bit and with a little tinkering they start Hope to see you both at Winterport Me

@matthewmanuel8655 Год назад

There are two words that don't go together...Mesh and firewall!

@MartyZinNYC Год назад

Guess why it's called a firewall???

@matthewmanuel8655 Год назад

fire through wall

@nomex1996 Год назад

Water has the ability to absorb heat better than antifreeze. (Higher Specific heat.) So the answer is it will run cooler with just water. Hope to see you at the Pine Tree Jamboree!

@Aaronlewis8846 Год назад

Thats awesome that you guys are going back to pine tree. Hope Jolene vreaks 60 mph rhis year. Nate will get the car going and tuned up and ready to go. People at pine tree are gonna be impressed when you guys show up with the car and the hauler with them both painted up. They both look awesome!!!

@shake-the-earth1 Год назад

Anti freeze has a higher boiling point to help prevent turning your water into steam. I would use Evans waterless coolant in it. Especially if you are letting your cars sit for long periods of time.

@waltmarks9720 Год назад

Don't be afraid to spend a little money on it new starter and generator and battery at least. I probably would get a better distributor also you don't want to drive all that way and fuss with stuff you can replace at home for a few hundred dollars!!! While you have Nate there to set it up easier now than at the track 😊. My opinion and if it were me and Nate agreed I would put that flat head V 8 in it more common power plant and easier to get parts to repair. The plus side is your audience would probably double watching it for sure. Good luck either way!!!😊

@danielplummer6385 Год назад

Chad, Jolene, and Nathan, the car will not run different temperatures on water or coolant, the difference is water boils at 212f degrees and coolant has a much higher boiling point. Before using coolant make sure it is alright to use it at Pine Tree. Some drag strips do not allow coolant because if it leaks out on the track it is slippery. If you can use it do so with it running hot you want the higher boiling point of coolant. I hope the oil mixed with water is just due to condensation & not a blown head gasket due to running to hot. Jolene have fun racing & excellent video as always!

@pz5232 Год назад

I use water with a water pump lube for track cars

@lumpodogge Год назад

At the start of the pandemic I bought 2 brand new batteries for 2 vehicles, and thinking that they may not get much use for a while, put a $10 cut-off switch on each - one of the better investments I've ever made. Twist them on when I want to drive, back off when I get home. Both were Walmart's smallest, cheapest car batteries ($50 each...!) and each is working as new today.

@andybell6948 Год назад

Hi Chad and Joleen, great combo of hauler and car, I just thought a suggestion for loading and off loading might be to run some round stock along each side of bed front to back to help line wheels up, like they do at auto car wash. Once aligned at front on loading it will keep all wheels straight..love the show, you inspire. Andy Tipperary Ireland..

@seamusgargan5567 Год назад

Most antifreeze work as an anti freeze in winter and a coolant in summer. so should help to have coolant in it ,also increase the volume of water some way

@bananazz2000 Год назад

I would like to see you seal up the"holy" firewall on the car.. not only is it a huge safety issue concerning fire in the drivers compartment it keeps out heat from the engine.. watching her drive this car is like watching her weld in shorts.. sooner or later she's gonna get burned... ☮️🙏

@Aaronlewis8846 Год назад

Its not that big of a deal to have the holes in the fire wall like you think

@Deservesamention Год назад

It’s called a fire wall for a reason

@fonhollohan2908 Год назад

Here's a tip, for ya chad. You should park all your vehicles on a little bit of an angle facing towards the main front door, that way you can drive them in and out without much of a hassle at all.

@bluemule3891 Год назад

Hi Chad, what a great combination, really nice. if I may suggest, I know you are trying to keep it "original", but the safest option for that differential is replace it with a good used chevy 12 bolt posi, or replace the Cherokee carrier with a posi. The NHRA realized the danger of welded differentials many years ago, and banned them. Honestly, it is an iffy, and potentially dangerous modification. Anyway have fun. Blue Mule

@bryancostlow8508 Год назад

I personally think anti freeze runs cooler. However, lots of tracks want water only for safety. Also im a huge beliver in water wetter. It's an addictive that helps cool.

@charlesranscheart6738 Год назад

Yeah thanks for all the welding tips and everything Chad it's been 30 something years since I did any body work and I forgot all that because you know I was always busy doing construction drywall finisher yeah I'm to the point where I can sit back and do body work again and have fun and I love it just like you all love it y'all have a good day God bless you all hope you all

@WilliamGorak Год назад

THIS is the BEST Autotomotive show on the planet........ You inspire many. :)

@brianrichardson7946 Год назад

Definitely need a reorganization of how everything is in the shop. Since you don't ride motorcycles I'd get everyone off the floor and wilh the high ceiling you should be able to make something to hang or set them on. Also store the biggest hardest one to get out right by the big door. And that's all the unsolicited advice I'm typing in the comments 😂😂.

@JohnM-zc4ju Год назад

Chad already said a few months ago he is going to build high racks beside the walls to put the bikes on to display the bikes.

@i8ntnuts Год назад

@brianrichardson7946 The storage shop is a disaster. But this is what chad wanted and he likes it so that’s all that matters I guess.

@hoytdenniston4349 Год назад

Take Nathan with you, would be awesome to see him there as he is a talented part if your team

@wartorneagle9028 Год назад

Install an Overflow tank with a big lid to take off so you can put ice in it. The ice water will swap out the hot when the thermostat opens. You can use an electric pump to pressurize the system if need be. Just fill it with ice before each run.

@sthildas4857 Год назад

I do like the idea of showing more of NS its history, plus looking for cars on your way. We all need some work life balance, while you are still young. A great opportunity to show the beauty of the area plus surroundings. Happy Birthday as well..🇬🇧

@jerrymason6027 Год назад

WHEEW. ya got lots goin on right now you guys,,I’m thinking the empisis will need to be on the race can an the hauler for awhile,,good luck on everything 👍,,even fina seems a little excited,,lol,,luv you guys, keep on keepin on,,👍👍😀

@cannabisticannabisticino2718 Год назад

Great guys, can't wait for the race. 😎👍 This year the car is painted and gets a nice tune up by Nathan. It will be very fast and colourful, and to match the hauler 🏆🏁

@user-to4nq9ts6v Год назад

Loving that old Ford Truck. That Hupmobile you're hauling around has about a hundred horsepower. Little tinkering with the carb and some proper tires that old Dude should win a trophy or two. I saw Jolene drive that thing. She's good.

@larrylilly2552 Год назад

Also I’m thinking you will need to double clutch the truck when shifting I don’t think that transmission has what’s called syncro’s in between gears.

@johnnymac1580 Год назад

You can’t avoided the Doodle Bug for ever ⚡️

@_UncleBo_ Год назад

Love the build man but for the love of God put a Cam in it and run some synthetic oil it does add maybe a K&N intake!

@nickjowett Год назад

Chad,there should be a "silence" button on your alarm panel. That will clear the siren until the smoke clears.

@nboldrini Год назад

Foamy oil is caused by water. Could be a cracked block or a bad head gasket. Anti freeze supplies lube to the water pump.

@martinfrey366 Год назад

Chad needs a guy like Nat around. I'd bet the starter has been loose the whole time, loose starter means no ground. Sometimes it's just the simple things!!

@user-yk8li1kh8u Год назад

You could never pass tech without a sealed firewall. Very dangerous for Jolene, a fire can happen at any time, fanned by wind it gets big fast. Would hate too see Jolene hurt.

@rogermcdonald1607 Год назад

Batteries, if you dont use them regularly, you should have a battery tender hooked to each one!

@Hneely Год назад

Distilled water does dissipate heat better, and won’t hurt anything during your race

@danpurvis9193 Год назад

If you have water in your oil, that could be part of your overheating problem could be a head gasket leaking

@ate-updesigns9186 Год назад

Here she comes pinetree...Queen Jolene ...hope you guys get the car running goood...and with nates help i think your guys are goin to be ready to Rock n roll 😊..lookin forward to the Races...cya tomorrow

@lawrencerinaldo9635 Год назад

Hell Yeah ... 60 it is in sight! Jolene needs to have a racing moniker: consider "Cha Cha" Shirley Muldowny, or "Big Daddy" Don Garlits. We have "Bad Chad" which can be used when he's driving, but Jolene needs a race driver name.

@peterfraser2097 Год назад

One could make a second floor over all the low cars and but all or most of the motor cycles on on upper deck with a small movable lift like the work stage that fits a two wheel bike ❤

@kidkhryslerkid1193 Год назад

Water dissipates heat faster than antifreeze. So the more water you have in the system the better it cools. Most tracks don't want anything but water in your system. Good luck with your trip!

@WilliamGorak Год назад

I LOVE those rigs.....Pure awesomeness !!! I only wish you could countour the windshield sun visor.... You folks have good fun !!

@maxyearwood1085 Год назад

If the oil in the oil pan is milky, it sounds like the engine has a head gasket leaking or water is getting by some where, as a cracked block. If it has set around in freezing weather with water in it, this happens a lot. Antifreeze is made to keep this from happening.

@jimcoplan9502 Год назад

Time to get ready for Pinetree. It will be fun to see Chad and Jolene drive this rig to Maine.

@dougsmotherman8960 Год назад

On a race track they usually like water so if your car leaks it only leaks water

@faronf2006 Год назад

I loved Jolene's race car SO MUCH better before it was painted ...just like that rustic look 😎

@harleyryder2796 Год назад

FYI: To reset the alarm, the unit needs fresh air and time to burn the contamination off the sensor. Push and hold the silence button for 5 seconds to silence the alarm while contamination is being burned off the sensor. You may need to do this a number of times to give the carbon monoxide alarm enough time to reset.

@tonywitmer1244 Год назад

you have the best guy on it to get more power and i agree with Jason Nate and Jolene will have it flying i love the colors on this truck and car

@jasonlawson2400 Год назад

With Nathan on board Jolene may break 70 mph ! Waiting to see the upgrades to the flathead !!

@jimwhittemore1610 Год назад

Time flies when we’re having fun and you guys provide a lot of it

@428shelby Год назад

The difference between antifreeze and coolant coolant has a higher boiling point, but water takes the heat away faster that’s the difference

@markmckeachnie4484 Год назад

I forgot how beautiful that rig was . Nate is a pretty smart cookie

@James-qr6rp Год назад

Straight water will cause gunk build up after a while. An old fellow showed me a trick trick he said to put a old stocking in the thermostat and it worked like magic it collected so much gunk just in 2 months you have to change it every few months thanks for great idea old boy..

@stevebennett3248 Год назад

I high boost my batteries in the sping for about 5 minutes with caps off, then high charge for half an hour, brings them back to life, do it every spring!! After setting all winter, I disconnect the positive cable when I park them ..

@joshburton1165 Год назад

So glad that you have Nathan helping out to move these projects along and proud of you for letting him kind of taking the lead on the mechanical stuff

@forreststewart5940 Год назад

Antifreeze will help your engine run cooler. It also will help keep your cooling system cleaner.

@kodywest1641 Год назад

Sweet car and bike collection! Hauler is super cool!

@jimmimbs2900 Год назад

Was thinking it would be nice to put Nat on that for up coming race 😍😍

@521farmer Год назад

Well Chad ya better treat Nate good ya need him alot been were he has l thank you for what ya do and no Shame in saying your wrong cause we're you are he's a dying breed old school mecnec hard to find and rare to have on your payroll be glad too have him on my payroll l,m like him getting harder too find Jolene awesome video and thks for sharing keep it up from Canada 🇨🇦 SK later 😊

@hermanclarke283 Год назад

Might have bad head gasket if it has water in the oil

@DanielSimmons-pf5uv Год назад

You should use some kind of stabilizer in your cars and stuff that’s sits for long periods. Sta-bil is what we use in our cars and anything that has a engine when storing over the winter months.

@martinfrey366 Год назад

Antifreeze has things in it that will help your system not rust up and lube up your water pump. Water can make your cooling system start rusting up and plug the radiator. then when you forget to add antifreeze you're gonna end up with a cracked block or popped freeze plug.

@jjamanda Год назад

Called Double the clutch when driving the truck depress the cluth pedal select 1st gear move off depress clutch shift to the neutral position lift clutch pedel and depress again before putting it into second gear lift clutch pedal and repeat when you go from second to third you will find when you get the hang of it no more crunching gears.

@ratmanbrian Год назад

That's shifting up. Maybe you could explain about shifting down gears as well. I'm surprised Chad doesn't seem to know this stuff.

@BigDaddykik1973 Год назад

Grab the belt and spin the motor little bit in reverse and it should free up the starter if the starter is stuck.😮

@garylovelace711 Год назад

Hi chad& Jolene looks like u need a shed just to charge batteries. They are putting off gasses that will explode. So u need cross venting. U have a lot of batteries u can charge a couple batteries at a time.

@adambujakvyaya5806 Год назад

Yup stay inspired, time to take a minute to refresh on the tanker hauler.....nice!

@brucewitcpalek5120 Год назад

I forgot how nice of a job bad Chad and his queen did on this truck and race car !! Beautiful 🤩

@i8ntnuts Год назад

SEMA stuff right? They should have a special category for some cars.

@1944chevytruck Год назад

SHE IS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@charlielemmons5525 Год назад

I know Nathan will get this one running better. Chad and Jolene will have an adventure driving to pinetree. I would install a large ceiling fan to help circulation.

@berlynreed4253 Год назад

Might try my technic! Fully charge the battery and unhook the positive when not using!

@chrispadgitt3689 Год назад

It will be good to see Jolene race again. You should have John Armstrong at A & J tune it up for power. He should also know how to fix the generator.

@davehunt4031 Год назад

This will be cool, a bit of mechanicals for us . I might learn something new yay !

@williamjarman9076 Год назад

Antifreeze is a coolant , of course its gonna run a little cooler but eventually will get up to thermostat temp. Better ask the drag strip if they allow you to run it though. To be sure just drain it and run clear water until you store it again.

@marysambrizendine1012 Год назад

Nathan will make it go faster for you Jolene 👍

@DANDY1 Год назад

AS SOME ONE STATED! WE HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO TO PERFECT THE BATTERY! Remember the alternator runs the business! P.s neat gasser guys!

@terrywalker7941 Год назад

Chad and Jolene if the race car has a long shaft starter on it sometimes the starter drive will get stuck in the flywheel. If you can grab the fan and put a little pressure on the fan belt then turn the motor backwards a little then the starter drive can let go

@martinsimon2170 Год назад

You should get a mezzanine for your bikes.More place for the cars on the "first" floor.Set up a car lift to get things up and down in a easy way.

@user-qs2bt7fl7g Год назад

Cool hauler truck,race car looks cool and I bet it's fun racing

@CherylCold Год назад

Get a bonnet / hood latch on the door for the Bugatti hauler. Latch in the toolbox hole, Bugatti straps to pull it down. You can make it work Chad.

@highwaystar8310 Год назад

Make sure you are using O or OO ought battery cables for 6v systems.

@randyschoenberger5341 Год назад

Anti freeze and water wetter additive is the best it has wetting agents in that helps keep it cool run in all my old cars

@markmckinney-fc4no Год назад

I think it is important to have 4 working brakes on the race car... which is more important a few less pounds or the safety of the driver.....why put Jolene life and heath when in danger when you don't have too.i hope your luck doesn't run out...how is Chad s son doing? I hope he recovers soon........

@emilepellerin6064 Год назад

If you have a RPM tack in your truck. Just pay attention to how many reeves between gear's.. It will be the same going up or down.. Shifting down reeve it up the required amount. Shifting up let your motor rpm's drop the required amount. Your Buddy in the shop will explain all that to you ,,

@GrandBB50 Год назад

watching this and the building engineer came by and heard your alarm. He immediately headed to our fire panel but I stopped him and said it was on the video and he was greatly relived. You don't have room for bigger tires.

@user-dt9kt2jw2s Год назад

It looked like the belt on the generator is very loose. Love you guys. I watch every night 🙏🙏♥️

@fishgrany9088 Год назад

If you’re on the dragstrip, water. They don’t want you to lose antifreeze. It’s too hard to clean up.

@davidjustice9036 Год назад

I use trickle chargers on everything that sit for some time, saves buying new batteries, even the ride on mower.

@brettking1233 Год назад

Double clutch when changing gears .example first gear clutch in neutral clutch out clutch in shift to second and so on

@davevan8864 Год назад

Rig looks good!!! Have you tried double clutching the truck??? Some of these 50's era truck need that!!! Thx

@FloatsOne Год назад

For a long trip like the one you are planning you need to balance the all wheels on that truck, remember you are using the wheel you welded and they are going to shake and vibrate terrible.

@user-nb7sr7xs4f Год назад

If you want your engine to run cooler, use engine ice coolant. I use it in my motorcycles. Big différence

@The_Kman Год назад

You can buy a 12 volt DC trickle charger for each car to keep the batteries up while in storage.

@hamishdavidson3368 Год назад

Check the Compression and maybe a new head gasket with that Milky Oil. If it was running hot thats the reason. Check the Thermostat or fit one. Calibrate the temp Gage.

@gmc.joesousa4360 Год назад

Make sure Neil looks at the Distributor closely. It has a stripped screw held in with silicone

@dannico58 Год назад

@B4TS1 Год назад

Asphalt tracks don't allow glycol-based coolants. Thus, most racers use plain water in their cooling system. Glycol is slippery and creates a hazard if spilled on the track

@FAB7362 Год назад

The fluid in the cooling system makes no difference to the operating temperature of the engine. Anti-freeze prevents the fluid from freezing in cold weather to prevent cracking of the block or cylinder head. The temperature of the engine is controlled by the amount of fluid in the system, the thermostat and the radiator.
