Repairing and taking the Vintage Ford Racecar out for its first test drive! So excited to see how it performs. We installed a new custom-built radiator and had the carburetor overhauled. Then we took the racecar across the London bridge and to the BURN OUT PAD in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. This classic 1929 Ford Speedster performs so well. Come along with us as we repair and go cruising. #TheGr...

We bought a 1929 Ford Vintage Racecar!

We are so excited about buying a 1929 Ford Model A, Boattail Speedster “Vintage Racecar”. These rare Ford cars are hard to come by as they were built as racecars in the 1920’s. Often times these collector cars are featured in timed hill climbs and for the Race of Gentlemen “Trog”. We traveled to southern California to buy it and bring it back to Lake Havasu City, Arizona. #The Race of Gentlemen...
Monkeying around in the Arizona Mountains! Motorcycle fun!

Question: where is the Vin plate located on this 34'? I cannot find mine at all
I had a ‘34 Ford Victoria when I was 17 years old in 1958. I purchased it from a neighbor who had become too old to drive….the car had about 40,000 miles when I bought it for $50!!!It was in perfect condition and I loved the car…..i also thought (and still think) it was beautiful.
@@LuigiBadaboom we had a Viki!! They are one of Deans favorites!! What a cool story!!!
Nice boat reminds me of my ol jon boat
I watched all 3 videos and absolutely enjoyed every one of them. I wholeheartedly admire your wife for doing this trip with you. I have told my wife this is a dream of mine and she said absolutely not. You’ve got a keeper in Erica.
@@davidjenkins1958 we truly had a great time! One of our best trips ever! I’d do it again in a heart beat!!!
So glad you are back. Missed you both
@@hoosieriphone we are glad to be back! Have some fun stuff planned!
Wow, nice car. Must be a very early '34 as the interior door handles are at the front of the door similar to a '33. When cranking the window down it was too easy to hit the handle and thus the phrase "suicide door" was coined. Most '34s have the handle moved to the center of the door.
Bill's Pizza is the best, we finally tired it in Palm Springs one of those pass it a hundred times and finally go in. My wife loves the Elton John I get the combo. Go in for some slices nice cheap lunch.
@@Moondoggy1941 love the Elton John too!! We love the slices for lunch too and the staff is always so nice!
Beware of the chain coming loose, beware of a bad clutch, beware of bad transmission, beware of the cheap soft shocks, these are junk and shame on Honda. You tube the bad transmissions... Buyer beware
Two tetards
did you guys break up?
Noooo…. Life got busy and hectic! Hope to back to our shenanigans again soon!!
Love these!!
I absolutely loved the positive attitude you all had throughout the video! The boat performed amazingly, and Site Six didn't disappoint-it was a fantastic surprise at the end. Great job!
Nice boat. Looked like a great day.
Awesome Dean and Erika, Born and raised in Flagstaff. In 2004 we moved from Scottsdale to York, PA for a Job/Turnaround in Hanover, PA. Brings back memories of moving from AZ to PA with 4 horses, 4 dogs and 5 cats. Your comments about the humidity are right on. It was such a culture shock moving to PA and being out in the rolling farm country. Culture shock was mostly the taxes and the poor condition of the roads. Driving on the PA Turnpike was a harrowing experience on our trips to NJ. Snow removal reminded me of Flagstaff. We had a herd of deer that stayed in a thicket on our 3.1 acre property. We spent a lot of time shopping/in Lancaster as that was the closest Chico's - if you know what I mean. Went to the annual Carlile Ford car show every year. Loved our home but we moved back to Scottsdale as soon as my contract was satisfied. MXS Wickenburg, AZ
@@mxmissile4588 wow how cool! We live in a truly amazingly gorgeous country but Arizona has my heart! ❤️
10:24 $16,000?! Yeah keep that thing in Canada 🤣
You guys are too cute. Love the CHiPs music. My wife and I also ride together but our bikes are a little bigger. She would love to have a Monkey. I’m more of a Grom guy, but I love that comfy seat on the Monkey. Keep having fun and making videos.
@@dankrasher43 she can ride her monkey while you ride your grum 😂…. We did the “big” bike thing too, the monkeys are more my speed when I’m riding lol
When a friend and I take a road trip, our number 1 rule is no eating at any big name places, Every place needs to be a mom and pop diner or some sort of small local restaurant.
@@scottevans8489 we totally agree!!! Best food best people!!!
This entire video is nothing but money business! 😂
When’s next trip to Santa Fe New Mexico La Fonda Hotel on Plaza?
@@FredFeo-t7d would love to go back again soon! Don’t know yet, we have a few trips we want to do!
Awesome video series. Just watched it again for a second time. I plan on doing a similar trip next summer in my 30 model A. Keep up the good work and more videos.
@@trentlinder3806 we love that you’ve enjoyed it! It was a trip of a lifetime for sure! Where are you going on your trip?
Great video
I saw you guys a few days ago riding your Honda’s . Looks fun. So many place close by to go check out and enjoy nature. Please be safe- crazy people have been seen driving in Prescott these day.
@@DaveEPie how funny!!! We have a lot of fun with them! We are very diligent, and defensive but always know to keep our eyes and ears peeled!!! Thank you!!! 😄
Dean & Erika, thx. for the fun ride and the bridge facts I hadn't heard some of them. Is the boat still for sale with your son? Have him email me. Thx. Shad.
@@k.shadburne7900 emailed you :)
Wonderful video, great enthusiasm . Reminds me of a 33 plymouth I drove home from South Carolina to New Jersey... good that I had someone following me although we made it without any issues. Here’s a simple solution to that Radiator overflow. You can buy an item to attach to the overflow tube from the radiator that will release pressure after 7 lbs of pressure, thus pressurizing the system with raises the boiling point. The main cab will need to be sealed off with a rubber gasket. I hated the over spilled anti freeze on the hood of the car and windshield. Another fix that I always did was the electric fuel pump because ethanal destroyed the diagram in the older mechanical units. Always mount this near the gas tank for optimum performance. Be sure to use an inline regulator with the electric fuel pump and set it to 4 lbs. Personally I would convert to 12 volts and use an alternator. All you need to do this on the Ford is change the light bulbs, coil and use a pertronic electrical unit in place of the original points... or you could reduce the voltage going to the coil and use the original set up. The 6 volt wiring being so large in diameter handles the 12 volts exceptional well and the starter will love the extra voltage. Just a suggestion, love the video and I wish you the best with your new baby.Best part of this video is, “IT’S NICE TO BE NICE” and you showed that throughout.
Fun video.
Good video.
@@bradwiebelhaus7065 thank you! We are glad you enjoyed it! 😅
Love this!
@@RobertaSnow-fh9cl I missed her!!! 🤩
I’m a contractor in the area and would see him working on this as i drove by when i was working on a pool up the street. Very cool to see how it came out. Nice work.
@@RM-bj2hu how cool! He really put a lot of sweat equity in that boat! He wanted it just right! 😃
Where is the 34?
@@cchog1 stay tuned, we were waiting for some parts to come in!!! 😃
You guys need seat belts!
Vapor lock?
@@cathyperger2984 fortunately not this time.
Such a cute car!
Looks like fun! thanks for the videos.
@@MrBrendog67rat we are glad you are along for the ride! Stay tuned more to come!!!! 😃
Fun video!
Very cool. I just bought a 1917 Model T Ford roadster. All stock but with Rocky Mountain brakes. 👍
@@markbehr88 how cool! We haven’t ventured into Model T’s but we’ve talked about it .😄
@@Adventuresofdeananderika They are terrific. 👍
Awesome 👍
You have a few weeks until the snowbirds invade Havasu and take over the streets. Gonna have to keep your head on a swivel in the Speedster when cruising cause a snowbird versus Speedster would be bad.
Glad you mentioned the crescent wrenches. Was going to call you out. 🤣🤣just found your channel a little while ago. You are a fun and entertaining couple. I see you have a GS, maybe our paths will cross on an adventure ride. Keep the content coming
@@kevinsterner9490 we are glad you found us and are along for the ride! Stay tuned we’ve got some fun adventures coming up!!! 😃
On a stock Model A radiator, the mounting ears rest on a rubber pad. The attaching bolts come up from the bottom and the spring goes on top of the mounting ears, not between the mounting point and and mounting ears.
@@joealbert7773 thank you! We will have to check that out for sure!!!! 😃
Don't screw it up.
Ok, wow, your Of one flesh now.
This was so fun! I needed this today...a great feel-good video! Love the Monkeys!❤
@@WheelsNotHeels glad you enjoyed it! They sure are fun the toodle around on!!! 😃
…. …. my fav cia asset…. ….
they had a push rod working the fuel pump it wares down and wont move the pump enough to give enough fuel take the pump of put a small washer on the push rod replace the pump bet it works ask merlin he would know,
@@GeorgeBisch we did check the push rod… but didn’t know that about the washer! Will keep one handy for sure!!! 😃
Enjoyed your adventure. Have fun with your new car. She’s a beauty.
@@jeffedwards4111 we love her! Stay tuned another adventure coming soon!
Erica said 0 derogatorily statements to you, and you said 3. The one I think hurt Erica the most was when you said " There's the old girl, not you Erica " referring to the 32 Ford 8 cylinder. Dude all the joy in Erica's face drained away , when you said that. Remember, you have a successful marriage, don't screw it up. Keep doing these videos together, it will bring you closer together. Bill
I live there.. Always looking for a new adventure and have 1,000 or so left.
Why tf is this sponsored? Trying to buy views?
Great video, loved the journey so envious and would love to do this some day. Just a thought though aren’t you supposed to do it the other way around? Buy a South Western car and take it to the North East? Lol.
@@LJSW-rp6xm lol we always do things a little different 😂😂
@@Adventuresofdeananderika It’s the best way 👍
That guy ripped you off !
@@WilliamRHill We knew we would have to do a few things and that was reflected in the purchase price. 😃
