No matter how much a guy knows, there’s always an old timer that knows just a bit more!
So true!
That is so cool.....✔
So, when do you put the supercharger on it to match the badge? 😅
Shows a lot of humility when you have all the mechanical knowledge but are willing to listen to an old timer. Paid off for sure getting this car running.
At least you guys have a concrete floor. Back in my younger days we crawled around in the dirt or grass. Wrench on the weekend so you could get to work on Monday.
You had it easy. When I was a boy we didn't have any dirt and we had to hang a car from a tree and work on while hanging on with our fingernails!
We had that soft and powdered dirt about 6" thick.if you dropped something it would disappear and good luck finding it.
S*** y'all had it better than I did I used to have to lay on top of freaking gravel.. and good luck finding anything if you dropped it, but I'm a fat cat now I got a garage with a lift. 😂🤣
Dang, you guys had it easy. When I was a boy the ground was lava and we had to put down pillows just to get around. If you drop something forget it because it turned into lava. I lost so many friends to the lava. It hurts just thinking about it.
Probably the coolest car I've seen on TH-cam in 5 years. You are one lucky steward of the old stuff and thanks for the show and tell Matt.
They were chopping, channeling, sectioning, z-ing, boxing, and every other "ing" that you can think of, in the 1920's, on Model T Fords, and other less common makes.
However, that takes nothing away from the coolness of that car, and the fact that it exists in it's original form.
What a gem! 🙂
Absolutely amazing! Never knew this car existed, thanks Matt for bringing it out!
Goes to show. These guys can breathe life into just about....anything !
It always puts a big smile on my face to see these beautiful vehicles being brought back to life.
I'll have a much bigger smile when I win 🏆 the 37 Knucklehead, (haha 😄 I can only dream and hope).
Thanks for keeping these wonderful pieces of history alive.
Matt, until you positively I.D. the transmission, it may or may not have synchronizers. A 32 Trans, generally had synchronized 2nd. and 3rd only. But of course it may have had several transmissions over the decades. Either way, even with synchronized, it helps to double clutch and slow, deliberate shifts. To shift into first while still moving, you have to clutch and then match the r.p.m. to the spread of the ratios, or like most just come to a complete stop. Actually if you are matching r.p.m. to the spread, the clutch doesn't even matter. Example, if there's a 300 r.p.m. spread between 2nd and 1st, provided the vehicle or wheel speed stays the same, pull the shifter into neutral, raise the r.p.m. 300, and the transmission will go into first gear like butter, clutch or no clutch. The tricky part is if the vehicle speed increases or decreased while you're doing this.
INCREDIBLE PIECE OF HOT ROD HISTORY, THAT GUY HAD VISION !!!!
T.S. RACING
Hey Matt a baby nose bulb works good to prime a hose and what fuel you pull out can prime the carb..... Ain't it just ain't it 😎 I had an old Fiat back in the day with dual Weber's that would bleed back over night so I would use the nose bulb it ran to good to fix the issue....like sucking snot.... lols 😎
Matt your the best, I miss you making videos. Been praying for you and your museum, hang in there pal
Was fortunate enough to be at the museum right before closing time and see the car run at first I thought it was ZZ Top and a new car or an old one in this case your beard has went through me
Just wanted to leave a comment I’ve been through your museum a couple of times I absolutely loved it keep leaving these cool videos on TH-cam I love watching them unable to get down there very often I live in Michigan hopefully I can visit one day soon
Looks like an english sport sedan of the thirties...many fords were modded to look like english sports cars in the thirties...Clarke gable had a brand new 36 roadster chopped and channeled with door cutouts made to look like an english sports car...Elvis presley drove a roadster hot rod in the movie Lovin you...said to have been built in 1936...according to hot rod and custom magazine the oldest photo of a hot rodded and customized ford was a 1934 roadster chopped and channeled with V windshield...taken in 1935...cheers guys ...love your work and dedication...P.S.i have picture offf the internet of two girls driving a channeled thirty two roadster ...taken about 1938...
Holy Crap Gentlemen Cletus was the coolest Drummer of the 20th Century. Matt Your Dad was a trusted cool dude too What a day
Sadly soon all combustion cars and trucks including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-(
In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025
on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Car washs will be forbidden too because they are climate killers, now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime. (BABVVEN & TEBBVEN & BEFVO laws)!!!!!!!
Really neat old jewel your dad found! Some time shortly after the first car started rolling down the road, fifty years before this one was built, some one was modifying a car to be "more what they wanted". And get two horses in the same county (or two cars!) and there will be a race- nobody likes to lose, and the losers tended to seek a way to go faster! Shocking, but that is what motorheads have always done on two wheels as well as four! Now they play with monster tires and six wheel drive to boot! But this car, largely unmolested since it was built, is an awesome survivor- a tiny bit more size than your beloved MC's but no more complex, really! You did great on starting it- you brought the bag of tricks your dad used well for decades- I am surer today that he sees his museum well cared for! FR FR
Dude you have got to have about the coolest job ever. There's an inherent satisfaction and great sense of pride in being able to repair and or restore old vehicles of any type to working condition, and this is apparent with you from the look on your face 95% of the time.
Super cool car, great job getting it running again and seeing the daylight.
Next time fill the bowl up so the engine will not crank so much and start and prime the pump.
You guys not only have one off bike's but cars too just awesomely cool Dale had the eye for some very off the wall thing's
The bystander had the right idea
That thing is awesome!
The pre-war guy that comes to mind when I think of that era is Harry Westergard, but I don't think his documented work goes back to 1932. Interesting and way kool kustom kemp! I'm fixin to come down and visit in November. Cheers!!
Very nice old car Matt 😎👍
...And you didn't forget your sunglasses!
wow. when the engine started the hairs stood up on the back of my neck. It sounded exactly as if it was Dale shouting ah hahaa!!
That's a rare piece of automotive history. Great job Matt and Chris 👍 and crew for getting the old girl up n running again.
Thanks for watching along!
it needs some marvel mystery oil in the crankcase and fuel tank🐱👍🏿
That car is so cool and the long front end choppers actually started in 1910 but there's only a few pictures of them.
That is one sweet peice of hot rod history 🤘awesome .
Very cool. I was just at the museum, the whole place is great.
The spare tire appears to be on the flat side.
I'm from pulaski in my youth i remember klet every body did quite a guy but with all of us age and time won out😢
It would be the bomb to visit the museum while they’re doing stuff like this. Damn.
I met Matt today. What a genuine dude. Thanks for the hospitality today Matt! ~ Pat-IL
Sometimes it takes a village to raise a child. Great job guys!
It's hard to believe he did all that customization and left a $2 engine and running gear in it. I saw the V8 hub caps and figured it was a flat head V8 and when he opened the hood it was a 4-Banger and hauling a trailer with that, he must have been the slowest thing on the highway. Some peoples priorities are way different than mine I guess. Beautiful work but he must have not been an engine guy.
Cleetus and your dad arent the only ones smiling brother!!
Cheers to the peeps like Matt that keep these old beauties running. I hope I never get too old to enjoy the adventures of an internal combustion engine.
That is a COOL RIDE man. A good clean & a polish & your ready to roll.
In 1931 my dad got a speeding ticket in Dayton, OH in a '21 ford Model T, it had special made pistons and a frontanac head...91 mph!! he said a motorcycle cop caught him with a Henderson bike and the cop had to use beeswax on the drive belt to catch him.... I saw the original ticket in 1977 when dad told me this... in all fairness the only thing modified on that car was the engine... I have driven several original "T's " but never at 90 mph!!! wouldn't even try...
It’s amazing to me a car that’s almost 100 years old starts right up after cleaning the tank and freeing the cylinder heads. That’s when we used to build stuff to last, for the every man to work on. Good things cars can’t be fixed by normal human being these days because kids today hardly any of them ever picked up a wrench before much less fix their own stuff.
Great job. Thanks
Very cool car and loved the video. I visited the museum in 2019 and loved it. I need to do a return visit soon.
Love the shit out of it!
What the brand of BMX bicycle hanging above the street rod? Lol I'm a bmx collector so I notice crazy stuff like that...lol.
I believe I've seen a picture of this car with the original drummer on a musician's history documentary, the statements made was that this car was his calling card..... musicians from the 20s and 30s are today's Legends
I believe that Mr. Cloves bought a rolling chassis from Ford and built it up from there , rather then starting from a complete car . This would explain the title being dated 1934 , it was titled when it was finished .
Repeat a lie Five Million Nine Hundred Thousand Nine Hundred and 99 times, and nobody believes you, but one more time and, BAM; truth!
thanks for sharing ... very impressive
It's always a blast when you can keep and save a part of hot rod history, I own an inherited my dad's 54 Chevy he bought brand new as a base model he went straight to work doing the typical 50s custom work French headlights French tail lights the usual rounding of hood corners and trunk corners fender skirts all the good stuff he said he completed it in 57 only thing I've done to this car other than keeping alive and the way it was was a 12 volt conversion got to love old cruisers in hot rods
Really cool car but it was built on a 32 chassis so it's not the world's first street rod. I have a 29 Packard with a 28 Model A roadster body that was built in 1930 & I bet that wasn't the first one either!
Good job brother
It actually looks like a European car, the nose looks French, fabric roof looks British and the Suicide doors look German.
This is crazy my grandma and grandpa and my mom all grew up in Chestnut Illinois and my grandma and grandpa used to follow the Tiny Hill band around I'm sure they've seen that car
That is super badass
Matt, It’s so freaking cool.
Thank You Matt for another Great piece of history 🙏🇺🇸
Take that tilison carburetor and throw it in the trash and get a zenith. My father and I have 4 model a's and we had nothing but trouble with the tilison and were always adjusting them and the cars never seemed to run quite right. After putting an original zenith on them the run like a Swiss watch
That’s what I do to prime mechanical or vacuum fuel pumps is run it on starter fluid, if it doesn’t start after a few seconds something is wrong usually
Very cool old Hot Rod
Leave it to Matt. He always gets’m going. I don’t understand with this guy being so young but, I dig it. I’m smilin’ too.
What a great car. I love the custom roof. Is that green leather or is it an early vinyl? Easily the best customized car done at such an early stage of automotive history that I have ever seen.
And this is why I love Maggie Valley. It's a magical place.
why are they're more bikers than car guys, you don't have to crawl under a bike to replace anything
COOL ! 😎
You are so wrong Matt! Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was built from a race car that crashed in 1909, so there.
AWESOME !!! AND SUPER COOL TO SAY THE LEAST!! INNOVATION BY A MUSICIAN AND I'M SURE HE WAS A COOL DUDE IN HIS DAY LIKE NO OTHER!!??
That car is awesome, you should have it has your daily drive, Matt
I wonder if he used an English model B for they had suicide doors most were 4 cylinder sedans?
MATT, IT SEEMS THAT YOU ARE THE MERLIN OF MOTORS THAT YOUR FATHER WAS......THAT CAR WAS STUCK.....NOT NO MORE........
It does seem a bit silly to have that aero radiator cover and lowered roof, and then use the car to tow a huge caravan.....
World's first? 1923 was the first Street Rod, Hot Rod..
amazing car. I love the headlights those are true ditch lights you can see to the left you can see to the right LOL....😉
Wow I cannot believe that that little four banger would h a u l that trailer full of band gear that things got to be what 60 70 80 horsepower tops
Brings to mind the song: "Shake, Rattle and Roll"...
Very cool car. Do you rent it for dates?? Keep the good stuff coming guys.
I bet that 4 cyl was struggling its ass off pulling that trailer behind it . 😂
Outstanding... Hats off to the man with the plan that did the trick...
That framed title had to the be the second vehicle title/original clobe title after he did his mods to it
You wouldn't pull a trailer like that with today's 4 cylinder
That’s a nice car I wonder what happened to popcorn Sutton’s model T
Mt Pulaski is a town that time forgot and that’s a good thing.
I didn't at all realize that your dad was Dale of Dale's Harley Davidson in Mount Vernon Illinois. My dad has lived in Mount Vernon his whole life, bought bikes from Dale's, raced flat track Bultacos and Husqvarnas, and had friends that worked at the dealership.
Keep on keeping on !
Sounds to me like it could use some new bearings in the bottom end though.
Put some marvel in the fuel and the crankcase man .
To think a bystander had the answer to prime the engine .
Must have made quite an impression at the Speakeasy !
13:08 Wtf? All that cool body work, but no long filler neck?
Looks like an old gangster car . Especially with the suicide doors. I'll have to get back up there one day so I can see everything you've added to the museum. I'm 60. When I was young a friend got hold of an old chopped Tbucket his grandfather built when he was young in his 20s.
So the first custom car with suicide doors and a gas door
That is one cool automobile that's for sure.
Gotta keep an old man on standby in every shop
Love the soft top style all down the back, Sunday morning here in Sydney Australia. Best breakfast show ever. You could emagin how smooth he would have dressed playing the drums and cruzen around in his 1/1 custom.
Can hardly wait to see what you trailer with that.
Very nice car, great job 👍...
That's old time gangster.
I finally made it to your museum this yr, great place and i am gonna make it back again,
Thanks for coming by!
