If you were going to race on the beach like the TROG race, would you want to keep the heavy flywheel because of the inertia you spoke about or would you just go lighter for the speed?

Traditional way: get an aircraft pump 😮‍💨 and hide it in the frame

who is that bouncer in the background holding up the ladder :) Hard at work i see :)

Great video !!!

Super stoked to play a little part in your build Matt!

Welcome back! The AV8 looks great- Thanks for showing all the important steps needed to bring it together!

I have a question on the 4 banger. I have a 1930 sport coupe with a rumble seat where the trunk would be and I was thinking of first changing the 6V battery to a 12V battery and I'd like to find a different place to put the battery than under the floor, but is it ok to convert a 4 banger to a 12 V battery? are there any issues with that? Any Ideas as where to put the battery i am open to. Thanks

Hey: Yea, would love to see details on how that Xmemember gets trimmed on the ends and all the other fab details related to the brakes, steering, A-V8 conversion. MC installation and brake lines could be an entire video since those operations happen even with "banger" cars and are critical to safe, effective, systems. Currently working on a 29 CCPU but using a TCI boxed Hot Rod frame with a 283, Turbo 350, and 8" Ford rear end. Long time project that is "mocked-up/fabbed" and sheetmetal is being disassembled to send out for paint. Basic build but with LOTS of detail. Check out my channel and look for the "Old Hank" playlist. Channel name is the same as my screen name here. Thanks for putting this stuff up for us. ;o)

Great to see you back .

great to see you are back at work.. u picked up a lot of floor space lifting the body onto the frame.. room for another project? haha. Im thinking my favorite project is the 34 pick up.. I had one back in the 50s while in high school ... trying to make a B gas drag truck. Then life got into the way.. ...

About time you got back on..................enough with this illness and injury stuff kid. Hope '25 works better for you. Yes on more detail and completion steps on this, if Tardel can make a small fortune with his book you should be able to draw good audience with a visual representation.

Good to see you back, love you videos

Hallelujah...... Thought you had left us..... Welcome back.... 👍👍😎😎💪💪

I watched "American hotrod" for its whole run. I get the shirt joke.

A-V8 was such a standard thing. However, back in the day, all of the components were available in junkyards. Also, many of the details you will be encountering, like the steering box and mounting are things you will illustrate to the builders who aren't sure where to go besides a catalog... Nice to see a traditional build.

I think having the body sit on top of the frame is called a "High Boy." If you put the body down, over the frame about 6 inches? it is called being "channeled." The lower body usually looks better.

Welcome back! What are the wheel and tire sizes? Like the stance!

Pretty cool, indeed.

Great to see you back! You kind sir, are a much better person than Boyd ever was (sorry, he was jerk)! Shear is awesome! Hey Eastwood/Baileigh, sponsor this man! Brizio had his "Instant T," you have an "Instant A!" That's a proper jalopy! Looking forward to more of this build and future videos! Go Seattle Speed Shop, keep moving forward!

Matttttt... we love snooping each others shops even if they're not specifically car, do a vid of his. Glad yer back and I wish I didn't know about blowing a tendon, daaaaamn. Now about that hemi?

Liked what you said about old cars being like time machines. That's how I feel sometimes driving my Mustang around the back roads, listening to oldies on KBRC.... sends me back in time... until a Smart car comes around a bend and jerks me back to the present....kinda like Christopher Reeves in "Somewhere in Time"...

Love to see the Boeing guys shop sometime....

I like it😊😊😊can't wait to see it in the muddy driveway like your coupe.😊😊😊

Glad you’re back and ok I almost texted Matt for Iron Trap and was going to ask him about you just to make sure you were good .Love the content keep on keeping on brother 😎

Can you show us how to use a Come Along chained to the rafters, to lift an engine ? Been so long, I've forgotten 🤪

Hey good to see you back. The AV8 is a fun project, looking good. Yeah, I got the Hawaiian shirt gag...LOL

There you are......👍

Love your Banger series, truly excellent! My question is - is it worth doing all that to a 4 banger or just put the money into a flathead V8. I'm talking from considering OHV's because in the end the V8 with mods will be faster if you are racing and worth more, which equals more desirability, which equals sell ability which transform into another new project after you sell it. Would you do it for yourself?

How did you account for the lack of connecting points for anti chatter rods a 59ab and earlier would have?

Just found your channel. I've always loved 50s cars. Recently fell in love with these old hotrods. Im a sponge learning all i can. Ill soon be looking for something to start building. That is once I pay off the 57 Mercury I bought last spring. Love the content. Looking forward to catching up on all your adventures.

Who's headers on that flatty ????

Have you done any videos on the 12 volt conversion?

How do you know visually when looking at the two engines the "A" or "B" which is which?

What is the advantage of the 39 tranny? What did you have to do to install it?

Love the fact she's on the original frame rails ..light fast and ..."sexxy".

You did a very nice job on this one. Ride height is perfect. You got yourself a new subscriber. 👍 I need to know more about that engine. 😊

Nice to see an old rig in the snow. Thoughts on daily driving one during the winter? We get a lot of salt where I live. Would a good undercoating and regular washing be enough?

Thanks for saving the olde stuff. It's well worth it for History and for future generations.

I love seeing unmolested firewalls on olde Fords.

Not an hour.

Where did you get the gas tank

Put it on cement mixer and bbs in it

Iḿ late to the video but did you get it finished? I hope it has a hopped up banger motor!

Like your truck alot!

How does that car have a cowl strip? I thought that was only 30-31?

Question for you Matt, you may have already covered it in another video that I missed but does your pickup have mechanical brakes or did you convert to juice? I've got a lead on a '29 pickup project and I'd really like to do it up similar to yours with a hopped up banger. I still dream of an AV8 roadster but man bangers are cool! Thanks! Keep up the awesome videos.

Keep it all ford or do a hemi swap,just my 2 cents. Love 32 ford 5 window coupes,love the willys as well,love the classic muscle cars from 60's and early 70's also. Nice ride cant wait to see what you guys end up with for a finished product.

Thanks I'm wanting to do this upgrade to my sedan I've got a hopped up banger just curious what's your favorite engine oil for them?

i like it
