Will it run after 80 years 1934 oldsmobile hearse 

Someone trying to start a 2024 car in 2104: “Where the hell am I going to find one of these antiquated computers?”

"At least it's clean water and not rusty" while watching 3 gallons of water drain from the engine has to be the most glass half-full sentence I've heard

This is one of the last great RU-vid channels. No horseshit, no rubbish, just great content.

This channel just totally slays in terms of 'will it runs'. 1990s, 80s, 70s, 60s stuff on other channels, which are all great, but this one knocks it out of the park with these real classics.

"The termites quit holding hands" is a great sentence

Dude you are amazing! I’m 67 years old and I have been wrenching for a lot of years. Well years ago I worked at a marina and I had the reputation of being able to make a rock run but you take the cake. I’m humbled watching you bring some of these long lost engines run again. Keep on wrenching my friend.

Love seeing this old dog. When I was a "pup" my Daddy had a 1938 Oldsmobile 4 door sedan with a 6 cylinder engine. We, my brother and I, called her "Ozzie" the Oldsmobile. Back in spring of 1950, we took a trip back to Arkansas in her. My Dad made us a "bed" in the back seat and that was our "motor home" for two weeks. Mom and Dad took turns driving and sleeping in the front seat. So I sure hope you can get her runnin'. That would be a real pleasure for me.

At 20:23 when you were cranking the engine over, there was a couple valves towards the back of the engine that were not closing all the way

This man really enjoys what he’s doing and with flatheads which hardly anybody does, always so calm and positive love his content

Hi from Bendigo Australia. What i like about this young fellow is that nothing seems to be a problem..hes got a can do can fix attitude.

You have two stuck valves, one in cylinder number 5 and one in number 8 (counting from the front of the motor).

It amazes me that you still have the desire and put the effort into making it run even after finding the cracked ring gear. The magic you do by bringing these "old girls" to life is nothing short of a miracle.

Man; you are the only RU-vidr I can actually watch a video this long start to finish

I wonder if the people that drive by your place every day just wonder, what has that guy got himself into now.

What a pleasure to watch this guy.Nothing stops him and the knowledge this guy has is amazing. Simply a joy to watch .

8 days into January and we already have a Jennings Motor Sports video! 2024 is going to be a good year! Maybe we'll get to see more of the Cuda soon! Happy New Year!

Cool old car, the motor sounds awesome - really purrs. It’s a very unique vehicle that may well be worth reviving.

Great effort mate, you know your stuff. That engine was very tired and a broken ring gear is very rare. You did a great job of welding that back to cast iron. The engine was running for a few seconds, so you succeeded. keep up the great interesting videos.

Great video, very enjoyable to watch you working on those old vehicles and seeing the technology of that particular era 👍👍

Always love these slightly longer videos that spend a bit of time showing what you had to do to it. Great content, mate! . . . And WOW that was a lot of water!

Your positive demeanor really does the trick! Great job on this old thing, and thank you for saving her and taking us on the journey. / A tinkerer from Sweden

You never cease to amaze me my friend. I admire you for the ability to get these old machine running after all these years.

With your shop vac there is likely a somewhat hidden filter screen somewhere in the motor I’ve had that before a secondary filter on the motor that takes a long time to block up as it’s after the main filters.

One of the most authentic and best channels on youtube thank you for sharing good sir!

Love to see you get that baby running, she deserves it after this many years you owe it to her, awesome job Happy New Year!

I admire your tenacity getting these old motors running. I've always liked that sound and smell of a dinasaur waking up.

Truely A real Mechanic... Awsome Trouble Shooting Skills.... And Insight on Issues... NICE JOB MAN!!!

HEY! Hello and thumbs UP! Hell yes you can get it to run!!

This is SO cool! I LOVE those Straight Eights! I have ALWAYS wanted to build a bored and stroked Straight Eight with forged internals and much higher compression, then build a multi-port fuel injection system for one and turbocharge it to see how it'd perform. Edit: Knowing my luck it'd only make like 250 HP and I'd get smoked by a Ford Focus...

Just love old Oldsmobiles 😊 noticed the horn 📯 so glad you let us hear it 👍

Hello from Southern Ukraine 🖐️😉🤝 Video very, very beautiful ❤❤❤ My Super Big Like for your my dear friend 😊👍

Truly love what you do on this channel. It is a true testament to the amazing and straight forward engineering US automakers had. Keep up the good work. My first car was a Plymouth Grand Fury which had a few teeth missing from the flywheel. Never left home without my trusty strap wrench just in case I had to help her past that bad spot.

HAPPY NEW YEAR JMS WE WERE THINKING OF YA!!! MY SON MAX 8 YR.S HE LIKES YOUR WORK,,.. !! HES SO HAPPY NOW ,,YOU MAKE ALL THESE TRUCKS GOING ..WE WOULD LIKE CARS GOING ,,THANKS..GREAT JOB!!!

What a restoration that beauty would make.

Beauty, can't wait to see how this puzzle goes together! Your shop vac should sue for non-support!

That was very entertaining! I love older engine architectures and your immense effort to restore them. Thanks for making stuff like this (:

This channel has the most consistent and straight to the point content 👍

With that much mousehouse I’d have skipped the vacuum and gone right to the leafblower lol

Bitter sweet. Sounded real nice for the few moments it did run. Imagine being being carried to your final resting place with that sweet song of old American iron as accompaniment.

Dude I cried when I finally found Ur channel my childhood is restored

Great filming,, surprisingly interesting all that water it ran at all , catch you on the next episode !

Those were actually beautiful cars when new

A very brave attempt, you never fail to amuse me. Happy 2024.

Enjoy how you talk as your working!! My son's are mechanics and iv watched them at work for years!! Am to old to get out an about, found your channel and said, "Yahoo"🎉

Now that would be a nice fixed up .. be worth no telling how much. Very rare.

Two valves are stuck open when you put the head back on?

Your hope and enthusiasm is out of this world and I love it

This is one of my favorite channels, and it's mostly because of how optimistic and positive this guy sounds... It's like no matter what, there's hope!

11:53 That car was probably holding that piss in for decades😭

I was just watching some of your older vids. Hoping for a new one. That was Epic! I would say a re visit is a must 😀

This dudes got the best fraises. Enough starting fluid to start the titanic 😂😂😂 this one’s gonna half to sit for 14 business days. This is by far one of my favorite RU-vidrs

I call this a win. You proved the old girl can run again eventually with more work. It's amazing to see these old engines come back to life 👍👍

... You still get an At-A-Boy award, for tenacity ... 🏆 ...

Wow!!! That one has to be a rare bird!!!! I'd like to see it put back together at least. Yard art if nothing else!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

It looked in the footage like three of the valves were still hanging open when you put the head back on. I imagine they would’ve eventually freed back up though because they weren’t “hard stuck”. Probably right that it just had ring issues, valve sealing issues, or maybe the ignition timing was a little off. Amazing that it sputtered and ran as much as it did! Thanks for the great video.

I admire an effort to get a 90 year old car that's sitting in parts, running and driving again. The overwhelming majority of people would haul something like this straight to the salvage yard.

I remember when you only had a little over 100k subs.. what a ways you've come!! Hopefully soon you'll have over 300k keep up the great content 💪👍

I want a revisit with this one. This is my favorite ride you’ve worked on so far. Don’t give up on her!

God Bless you for youre example of hard work and upright ethic!

One of my favorite channels! Keep up the great work! There is no competition. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Yeah you don't have to worry about getting oil on the ground. Oil comes from the ground so it can go back there no problem.

This makes me want to get my 1940 firetruck restored 😊

Great job! I dint think she was gonna fire at all. But she ran! Thank you for doing what you do. These kind of “will it run” are so fun to watch!

Just love your optimism with these old girls. I think that’s what draws me to your videos. 👍

...this is when you can hit the "like button" in the very first second, because you know you gonna love the video! 🙂😊

I would call this one successful. It certainly did run. There really is something to see a vehicle that sat that long actually run, especially with 3 gallons of water for oil 🛢️😂 just a thought, when is there going to be another video on the Diamond T? Have a happy New Year and continue the awesome work 👍✌️🇺🇲

Please don't give up with this car, is such a beautiful one and well worth of getting it running. I would like to see it running and eventually a little restoring on it. Don't leave her alone again. Cheers from Italy.

I love your content and your ability to bring these old girls back to life. Also I'm from Vancouver Canada and your accent and slang is very entertaining! Keep it up

Around thirty years ago the wife and I went to a guy's house to look at his '34 Oldsmobile hearse . Unlike yours , his was sitting inside and had been drivable into the eighties . Unfortunately, back in the day funeral homes were also the local ambulance service in a lot of towns . During WW2 a small plane had gone down in a farmer's field outside of town , and the hearse was driven across the furrows from the plowing and not with the furrows . The body flexed so much , that most of the finger joints holding the structural wood pieces together in the body broke , causing all five doors to sag . The owner wouldn't allow me to open any of the doors in order to look inside . We passed on that car .

Great work. Love your channel. Do you sell these cars?

Enjoyed the Video. This car is worth fixing up as Historic Vehicle. I'd let the Funeral Service Museum in Houston know you have this .They'd be thrilled that you have it .Valuable Car !

Of the dozens and dozens of different people I've tried watching do will it runs and such. You are one of 3 I like Keep up the Awesome content Brother!!!!!!!!!

Ole Jennings has the real will it runs.

Great video! Was curious, what do you pay for something like that? Thanks

Don't ever give up !!! It will be a really cool project.!!!

Brother I gotta tell ya, man I appreciate you. I don't hink you know how much the people need you yo keep away from bad energy. I hope you make a million videos cause I will watch everyone and like everyone. 👍

Great video👍 do you ever repair the cars enough to drive them?

Круто что смогли его завести теперь осталось поставить его на ход и прокатиться на нем

Man you got a great attitude...better than the Energizer Bunny. What a lesson in perseverance. You'll get goin. Thumbs up.

"Raticus giganticus." Sir, you are the most entertaining mechanic. Those GM products are fun to watch since I owed a few of them, not so nice as those! I love your videos. Liked/subscribed already.

Cuda project?

To hear you complain about a weak shop vac, after the stuff I've watched you fix, is comical...

Back in the day cars were so beautiful 😢

I remember way back in 1949, my dad bought a 4 dr blue Oldsmobile 6 cyl for about 20 bucks from and man. The trans shifter had come loose and the shifter would pop up out of the trans. Anyway, my Dad was able to fix it, and we had it for several years. In May of 1951, we drove it from National City Ca, to Hot Springs Ark. for a two week vacation. That was the time of my life on that trip. Me and my brother called him "Ozzie the Oldsmobile".

Above everything I see in this video I admire the positivity from this guy! To me it shows the real American spirit that gives hope to solve things no matter how hard they are! Greetings from the Netherlands!

You are amazing; nothing seems to bother you. You just keep working through whatever these old engines throw at you.

I am inspired, I have a 1942 Duece 1/2 with a broken ring gear and broken bell housing and I have acquired replacement parts to get’er going ( get’er done). Thanks! Keep ‘em rollin.

Just love your videos.. Every time you get one of these old gals running I let an almighty roar out.. Keep the old gals running.....

You are one of the most positve individuals I know on RU-vid. I imagine it like this: Presents car burnt in a barn fire, burnt to bare metal. Tires melted off, essentially nothing left. Jennings Motor Sport: "And that soot washes right off and when we open the hood, look, it seems to be all there. We need to put them new plug wires and she'll be purring like a kitten!" Proceeds to put spark plug wires on and starts the engine.

Love watching your revivals. And you are easy on the eyes. 😁

Wow! That old hearse is worthy of a full resto! - It has nearly everything, and that front end looks really sweet, 'specially with that horn working too!

You have what my Grandmother called (stick-to-i-tive ness) plus a lot of mechanical knowledge. It is a good thing to watch you work & succeed.

I watch every single one of your videos, learning a lot!

I'm glad that car can't talk. Also, you had a stuck valve on cylinder 8, but you didn't hear me yelling. 😂

You have the best patience ever FairPlay to you,, I’ve got a feeling that you are going to put the big old hearse going again your certainly not a quieter Great video and thank you for letting us all watch your videos What a big engine it is hopefully sometime when you get a chance to put it running I would love to see running,, God bless and keep your good work up my man

This was a good one. I'm always amazed when they fire at all.

I would have given up before I got started. Great video and you do amazing work, never thought it would run. A ++++++ video and I really enjoyed. watching

That horn blew where it ought to!

You need some magic powers on the body. But the engine just your usual magic ability. New here from Alabama.

i really enjoy what you bring back to life and i hope someone restores this one of a kind
