1953 Olds is Back! Let's get into it... Plus: Buick Nailhead Progress and A Continental Deadline?

- Hi guys! I went over to the GCFCE this week and we puilled the 1953 Oldsmobile 98 Holiday Hardtop into the garage and Dan and I dug into the long-dormant hydraulic window system; it's going to be very fun figuring them out! We're back on the Buick Nailhead rebuild for our 1959 LeSabre, and then it's time to head over to the Jim estate where Dean and I join Jim as we keep hammering and grinding away on the 1956 Continental Mark II... There's even a wedding deadline now!

18:17 The star of the show wants to play a game of chase with Miles! IT'S FRANKERS!
So nice to have you guys in my life.
I wish I could restore an oldy .
@@happyjohn8256 In a recent live stream, Scott described the balancing act. He doesn't want people playing for the camera, it would wreck the vibe & too much attention to filmography vs hanging out & working might wreck the whole friendship group, so keeps the video-ing discreet. This goes triple for Tom. Tom doesn't want to be on camera at all, might leave if he thinks he's being filmed.
@@gzkarr3730God bless Frankers . 😊👍🏻
"We're just Bums in Jim Town"--another classic CWM quote!😆
Scott, Congratulations on the best episode ever. In just 10 minutes Tom managed a new world record 21 Fucks. Certainly this is on a level with The Godfather or The Sopranos, or even Richard Prior. Kudos, love your blog!
The continental fender has been a monumental task, well worth it. Next level work. Respect.
Scott: "This cat have a name?"
Jim: "Stripes...cause, ya know he has these stripes on him"
😂
It's Scott's laughter that does it. I'm watching this Sunday morning and I almost woke and pissed off my wife laughing so hard 🤣
I bet that IS Dan's cat Tiger...he just shifts between shops.
Dean makes any job a good time! Thanks Dean!!!😁
Everything is more fun with the Dean Machine!
Dean is like a kid in a candy store inside that Mark II. I can see Jim and his wife on their way to Vancouver in October. “Um, Jim, why is Dean in the back seat?” “Oh, Dean? Well I kinda promised him the first ride…” Cheers from Connecticut!
These musicians just keep getting better and better!! Fantastic stuff! Tom has got the GREATEST sense of humor!
No politics ,so much laughter, keep up the happy ,thank you !!!!!
I swear sometimes I wait all week just for another episode of Cold War Motors.
That's the best line, "where'd you get the cat"..."Oh he just kinda showed up"... Classic CWM!...Thanks again...
Looked like a good example of a Standard Issue Cat, as they call it on Reddit.
Stripes is the new Supervisor, interior quality inspector. If he is really top notch, he will find the screw/nut you drop, under the car/bench. No more scrounging around. An old blanket/towel in the back seat and he will also keep the mice and bugs out.
The valve and seat grinding, just like my high school shop class 1970's. That Buick should run like a top for another 50 years.
Jim might want to contact another Lincoln owner/club in Vancouver to securely house the car while in town.
PS install a tracker, and hidden remote cut off, BEFORE you leave home. TIP, use the stock radio antenna as the security WIFI reciever.
Everybody needs at least one shop cat. Upholstery tester
The CDS, or Cat Distribution System, is still working well. Delivering good cats to ideal homes all over.
I'm so glad that Tom pops in now and then to enforce the CWM "no swearing" rule. The dude is a legend.
I've got to say, that was a great story that Tom told!! Enthusiasm! Rare! Classic!! Real!!
Glad you enjoyed it! I always do, too...Cheers!
Dear Dan: This is called Karma... Leave me outside to become a snowbank and I will demonstrate how disappointed I am in you... Do we understand each other now? Sincerely yours, Big Blue Olds...
Not only one come a snow bank but a snow bank at -30C
Hi Scott, nice to see progress on Jim’s car. Any classic dart episodes lined up?
Every body needs a Tom, he cracks me up. I'm pretty sure that when I'm his age I'll be just like him. Great video Scotty, thanks mate.
Hey thanks for watching this stuff... Cheers!
@@coldwarmotors We wouldn't miss this shit work for anything!
By then you can sell the same old shit mugs and claim it for yourself 😂
Dean and the Conti together make for a great video.
That Olds is a happy looking car. Can't exactly explain why, but it is.
Sitting in a coffee shop, chili size & coffee... this pops up.
Good for the digestion!
Hydraulic power windows on a 53 Olds. Franker's will have fun any way she can! Lol. It's a beautiful day out here on the test porch after much bad weather! Lol. Thanks for letting us ride with you and Miss Franker's on the Chev Thursday.
Thank you for all you do Scott. And friends. Best show on TH-cam! Hands down. Have a fantastic weekend everyone!
You might not be aware, but GM was notorious for using brake fluid in their electro/hydraulic windows from the late 40's through the early '50's. That tended to cause corrosion in the central pump and hard lines since brake fluid collects water over time.
Not to mention that if it leaked, it ate any paint that it contacted.
@@vermontguy7692 It most certainly did!
Man what a fleet you guys will have next year. You should go to a couple of car meets together and show your stuff. Maybe do a little meet and greet with some subscribers. Thanks for a great vid.
"Dean is telling the story through sound and dance"! laughed out loud! There's an image for you! Man you guys are funny together! Wrote this before I heard "we're all just bums in Jim town"! great episode!
Thank you to Dean for showing us the Continental interior! I had forgotten how exquisite they are
I don't know if I'm getting drunker or your band's getting better but it sounds great
One of their better clips so far
They’re quickly closing in on being another Allman Brothers!
Yep they sound awesome
it is 10 P.M. here dont know if I look or go to bed ... Hm 10 min maybe. Saw the whole episode😅. Good night friends
Transmission, I've built Transmissions for 36 years for a living... take the pan off and look for anything that looks like coffee grounds... or an unusual amount of metal. Some is normal. No chunks or pieces! If it's clean and the fluid dosent smell like burnt crap, real seal the thing and run it! Love as always, Junk's Automotive
What fun! Where else can one find such joy in resurrection of 70 year old hydraulic technology and a Mark II quarter panel? CWM is the only place for such rich, diverse pleasures. Thanks, gentlemen for adding ‘welding flannels’ and ‘sugar scoop’ to my vocabulary!
Looking forward to the hydraulic rebuild on the Olds window lifters. Have never seen anything like this before. Interesting to see it come back to life. Nice to see Jim putting a target date up for the completion of the Continental. Certainly wish him the best for that. Thanks for making a dreary February Saturday evening that much brighter this side of the pond. Best wishes to all the agents, Frankers and yourself from the UK 🇬🇧
I've been watching your videos for 8 1/2 maybe 9 years now I still love watching them keep up the good work
Thanks, will do!
Me too! I think the first video I watched was of the 57 Savoy will it run series! I think Scott started that didn’t he?
Hey Guys! Great show today, I'm really lovin the continental project, its really coming together well. Loved hearing Dean drool over the interior, it truly is something else. Thanks for sharing. Cheers
Hey Dan! Glad you enjoyed it... All the best from me and Frankers!
@@coldwarmotors Dean Drools - Is that before or after the Greasy Flips!
Ah, a hard deadline for the Conti - let the bodywork begin! The “No Swearing” light must have burned out before Tom’s visit……thanks for another entertaining hour, see you next week, Scott!
Love Jim's cats! He's a good guy to give them a home. Just be sure to get them neutered, and they are really cool companions! I have eight of them - all but one also "just kind of showed up". Endlessly interesting animals!
And here is me thinking that Mercedes had the first hydro windows on the 600's in 1964. Leaky cylinders often mean no rust though.
Unless it uses brake fluid....
Hey Jim, a Lincoln Mark II just sold at Barret-Jackson for over $200K!
Tom,again with the insightful observations.. 😁😁
Keep the band footage coming . Great update on the Olds, it deserves the attention. It appears Dean was dreaming of cruising that Lincoln. The nailhead will be good for the next 65 years. Always looking forward to the next video, Thank you.
The Lincoln is looking great! Thanks for taking us along. See you Thursday.
I should note I went to school with Grinder Gruntwork. Played defense on the football team, ended up owning a liquor store in Ft. Assiniboine. Drove a series of Ford vans. Great guy.
Good show today. Loving the progress on Jim’s Mark and tips from Tom.
Keep up the with the good assist from our buddy Dean.
At some point in the early '50's, someone in Oldsmobile Engineering said "I think this whole gravity thing is a fad. I don't trust it to last. Let's throw a big fuck-off spring in the mix to ensure the windows will consistently roll down..." This is a French Car Level of unnecessary complexity. Part of her charm. :) That Olds is a magical thing. Looking forward to seeing her returned to the road.
The Olds sounded like Christine when it first fired up lol!
Best bit for me was Dean and that Lincoln - full of wonder, like a kid in a candy store! Brilliant!
@ 46:25. Take off...
To the great white North .
Take off...
It's a beauty way to go .
Good day, eh
Also I'll say it again it's awesome how you guys get together and help each other out.
I didn’t realize there was a wedding upcoming- missed that. Congrats to the happy couple
Great upload Scott. Lots of fantastic content. Tom is a living national treasure. His stories of yesteryear are awesome. Not many of his type left. Be good to see that '60 Impala running and driving (but perhaps not fully restored) with Tom behind the wheel at least once. Cheers!
Hydaulic window are great when there working when they are not they are a pain just as a Mercedes owner.
Life is better with Coldwarmotors
Just the thing for a hot and humid sunday morning. Cheers from Australia !
That valve dresser/grinder takes me back to 1968-69 when I was grinding vales in Auto Mechanic's class in grade 9 and 10...great memories. Thanks !
Spring 2024 t-shirt If shit work was fun this place is Disneyland! See you next week!
They were making’53s when I was born! Do you ever think about the GM engineering team at their desks on a huge floor of a massive building designing the automatic windows? Longer music segments!
Thank you guys, a great show! Hope Dean gets the Alliance, that'll be very cool. Much enjoyed, thank you so much, the drive in the '37 Chevy and wrench action, wahoo!
Final scene, it could make a fun, new TH-cam shorts, highlights playlist, "Car Rides With Francine". Just an idea that came up. Big cheers Scott, a treat for sure ✌☺
Knocked it out of the park with this episode! Tom's chopsaw tips were extremely helpful and I laughed way too hard at "Grand Theft Forklift" and "Scotzee here with another one"
A little trick i learned years ago working in a dealership. Rusty screws that won't budge. Take the positive booster cable and connect to the positive on the battery and touch the screw with the other end of the positve booster cable. Just a little bit not long time. Burns the rust off instantly. It works.
Fully enjoyed this week's shenanigans. Especially Dean meeting the Conti. Cheers as always.
There's been a return to swearing as of late, and I appreciate the artistic integrity in it, whiffs of old TH-cam and Real Life when adults spoke like adults. Pretty pumped to see Dan's Olds come back, and to watch some hot Buick action. Jim's Conti looks like a car, at long last. We even got some Dean cam this week! All Hail Stripes.
Totally agree!
👍👌👏 The intros with the band are always sooo cool. Of course Francine having fun in the snow too! 💚
Thanks Scott. My Saturday is now complete. Great show. The band rocks. 👊👍
Also Scott , very important to keep the bands on the hydo properly adjusted , critical really . It's done externally at two places on the side of the case . I'm sure you can find the specs on line . And, I found a great man , master mechanic , that's a professor of auto at Weber Univ. in Utah . The site is Weber Auto . He has a 5 or 6 part series on disassembly and rebuild on the early 4 -speed Hydra-matic . It's outstanding !!!!! All his vids are XLNT . Enjoy , Cheers
Another great video from the Coldwarmotors gang, saving one car at a time from the crusher
Cold beer motors time!
It will be awesome to see the Continental back on the road!
That Oldsmobile has to be on the next calendar!
Story time with Tom...... what a hoot!!!
Great to see the Continental getting closer.
I like to hear Tom's stories
Great show as always. Thanks .✌️👍❤️🇺🇸 Cheers.
Love the music! That Continental quarter is fantastic! What a save! Dean is hilarious as usual...BZZT!
The window mechanics is very interesting, thanks for showing us its inner workings. Dan has his work cut out getting the whole system back on line.
Flat lifters 🤔 must be a new thing 🤣🤣 great update 2x👍
Good show guys! That MKll is A LOT of car. Most people will say at first glance that it is like a same year Thunderbird, with back seats. BUT, its huge. Its at least 1,5 times the T bird. Big car!! Good going on the Buick engine and on the 53 Olds... gonna be sweet. Hang in there guys. Every time you stop working on them at the end of a day, well they're always in better shape than when you started.
I remember how bashed the Continental was.. Looking good guys!
What a great video. Tom was at his best, Dean providing sound effects, and Jim' Continental along with Myles doing shit work was a treat. You fellows have such fun together. Can't leave out Stripes the cat. Also love Dan's Oldsmobile, that will be a sweet ride when finished.
I love the thousand pounds of brightwork on Dan's Buick..... God bless
Love the Buick action!
I remember helping a guy work on a '47 Lincoln back in the 1970's and it had a very similar hydraulic window system.
I’m late to the party again! Good to be here though.
Fashionably late Gordon! I just got in to!😎
Thumbs up for "Tom's Tool Tuning Advice" - Needs to be its own segment! 36:30
Superb as usual gents
Dean is such a sweet guy!!
Looks like you got some snow after the warm break.
That Oldsmobile is really something. Very cool. The Buick engine is getting close to reassembly. Looking good. And a great job on the back of the Mark II. With Dean taking care of details on the deck, very nice guys!! Thanks so much for sharing Dan, Myles, Jim, Dean and Scott!!
I smashed that like button so hard it'll fit right in with the other jalopies in your yard.
another great video .when i was in high school iworked at a garage- gas station lots of guys like tom hung out there . that was 52 yrs ago and i still remember them to this day.
God bless ya, Tom! It won't be long and I'll be the cussin' old timer supervising in the shop.
"We're all just bums in Jimtown"
Jims cat was thinking ive heard this deadline bullshit before!!
Great stuff Thank You
Thanks!
Hey thanks so much; very kind of you! All the best from me and Frankers!
Always love seeing the band in the beginning you guys are great loved that there was more on the 1953 Olds and the Buick Nailhead FRANKERS and Dean makes my day keep the great videos coming i will watch i am hooked cheers.😊👍👍✌❤🍻
Dean should totally get the REnault Alliance!
Right? I'm trying to get him to do it, but it is more than 500 bucks so it's hard to pry Dean's wallet open that far... Cheers from the junkyard; hope you can stop in one day!
The Oldsmobile, is so clean in a lot of ways for her age. And so curvy !
I would love to have this one..for a home restoration !
YAY CATS! I love "Stripes" I have a female- "Lilly" that looks a lot like "Stripes!" What a cool, friendly cat! I love animals.. Frankers, Tiger, and now- Stripes!
I would LOVE to see a photo shoot, of those three- and maybe even a T shirt with them!
"Vice or Face" made me laugh hard- as a Luthier, man, do I ever know that game! I love the jams at the start of the show!
Love the show, and never miss it.
Great stuff scott and gang. Remind Tom that it's a family show...😈
Oh! Glad you enjoyed it! Well, it isn't actually a family show; I rate it 18+ for the swearing, drinking, smoking, and drugs... Cheers!
@@coldwarmotors tongue in cheek...Didn't someone say that Damn Tom swears to F;n much? 😉😉
@cjdesign5700 - Yah, and anyway, if the cursing were censored and lips and doobies were blurred, it would be like watching a silent film through frosted glass🙈🙉🙊 😅 Edit: But to your point, Tom may not be bonkers yet, but somebody should check his 'filters'😂
I can hardly wait to turn 18 to watch this show, born in 51 LOL.Gord Ontario Canada
Stripes is a cool cat and knows the best places in town hang out!
I Dean walking in at Jim's with a box of barley sandwiches. Picnic at Jim's.
Another great Saturday Show. Jim's Continental 1/4 sure looks better than Dan @ DDSpeed Shops Camaro. Lol
Scott. That band rocks.
Dan's Olds is going to be a luxury liner.
Jim's the funniest guy in the Edmonton area. Is he getting married? Or is the Continental just going to be wedding white...🤔
Cheers from Wisconsin.
Great progress on the Buick,and the Lincoln will soon be wearing wedding white! Thanks for the video.
Good one Scott...
Thanks for showing the band-love it!
Hey glad you enjoyed it...Cheers!
Thanks, Dan for sharing the Olds project. That is just a sweet car. You guys wouldn't know anything about a stolen stuffed polar bear? Thanks for the weekly show. Cheers!
