Hi scott. Id love to see frankers, next to a car, ( fury) on a T shirt. Man shes awsome! I mean the dog! I have a yellow lab, marley boy. He is awsome too! Love your show, keeping it real. The revved up yooper.
@@MrKeyboardCommando ...Same old Shit,people complaining lol !
@@MrKeyboardCommando If you don't like vulgar maybe this channel is not for you.
@@MrKeyboardCommando Jerk!
Do you have the "Revue Technique Automobile" for the Citroen SM? I think they are sold and shipped in France only... They are very well done: you get all the details: engine, transmission, suspension, electrical circuits... for maintaining and repairing the car....
Oh man, working on an sm, life goals. I feel you are an extremely brave man. Awesome work, and a fantastic and eclectic channel. Love your work.
I agree with the others!!!, made my Sunday, what could be better? a cold snowy Sunday morning, a good cup of coffee, and a nearly 40min Coldwarmotors update!!!! life is SO good right now.....
You just made my Sunday!
Love the fact that you don,t spend big dollars fixing your projects. Use what you have available. That is always the way our family has done it mostly because we are poor. Great work!
I, like most folks, love to smile and laugh and y’all cause me to do both. I like that you surround yourself with friends who share your interests and passions because while I am spending time watching this video, my next move will involve interacting with friends and neighbors who add substantial value to my life. Oh, and I’d be remiss if left out man’s best friend from this commentary-if your dog had thumbs, I’m fairly certain it’d be wrenching, too;. Peace-out!
I only read Playboy for its quality automotive journalism.
And I thought that I was the only one that did that. lol
Yeah, right! Me too!
People still read Playboy?
Hah! I meant back in the day, as opposed to the present. Is Playboy still published?
We Thank you for an excellent journey with Franker's and the SM Citroen We are amazed how they put so much Detail and super unique engineering on the car. Excellent work to Scott.CHEERS.
Summer, almost 40ºC, it's hot, it's humid, but who cares, I'm inside watching another CWM masterpiece! Cheers from Buenos Aires, Argentina guys!
Hi lucas, it was -10 F. where i live, (michigan U.S. hey man those cold war boys are keepin it real! The revved up yooper
@@waynegouin939 Hi Wayne! Yeah, I've read that is cold up there north over the winter, with a lot of snow and stuff. I remember the first time I saw snow in my life at 14 years old, in Big Bear Lake, when we lived in California in the early 90s. Coming from a subtropical climate it was amazing to finaly see and touch the snow. It was cold as fark up that mountain though! hehehehe!
Good to see work continue on the SM!
Dang right cut to the dog!
Frankers looks like a lot oh fun.
I must be truly addicted to this channel because despite having zero interest in any Citroen product, I watched the whole thing.
Oh cool....Sunday night, beers and a long awaited SM update from the agents ... might just have to binge-watch all ten episodes!!!
Love this channel! Total guys testosterone fun! You and your agents crack me up. Great wrenching fun too!
"Just look at the thing, it should require more maintenance. " says it all about this car!
I am currently going thru withdrawl for a ply mouth dodge dart slice and dice episode.
Me too. Warching that series over, repeatedly.
I think it is a Plymouth Fury on a Dodge chassis. In slices eh
Thanks for the update on the Citroen! It's looking good! As with the Plymouth, I can hardy wait to see you driving them down the road. You do such meticulous work. I really enjoy watching your videos! I'll be checking out your store soon!
The two faces of Dean lol bring on the Fury the Citroen is coming along nicely Scott hey Frankers hey Dean love you man
you guys are winning at life. loving the projects
Your knowledge just amazes me. Love the videos! Why you don't have more followers I don't know. Fantastic stuff! Thanks.
I can't think of a better way to get motivated on home projects on a Sunday morning than two massive cups of kicking horse coffee with toast and a Coldwarmotors Citroen S&M video! Thanks Scott.
Great to see work on the SM' again! Thanks for the update.
Following you guys almost every week, takes me back to my good old days.
As a matter of fact i was trying to buy a Citroen Mass back in the seventies, couldnt raise the cash in time though. FYI the timing chains are a real bastard to do.
Cudo's to you guys and all you do.
What an incredible car, like looking at the insides of a space craft. Amazing, thank you. You are right about the colour too.
The no bullshit, honest approach to your videos is what makes your channel so great. That Citroen is gonna be sweet when it’s done man. You’ll have to take it on it’s maiden voyage to Sask this summer to check out my Fury ll haha. Awesome video once again Scott!
I'm just here for the slick production of the videos, and the Frankers FaceTime. The cars are just a bonus.
Hello mate, the mechanical complexity is fascinating, what a terrifically engineered vehicle and so different to anything else I've seen. Performance is good too when you consider the size and weight of the car, it would put many 70s and 80s V8 cars to shame. Good that you didn't plate anything haha, that car is so much better being left original - the cleaned up original appearance is so much better than the glossy tarted up look. And that balljoint is a work of art... you should see the one I uncovered on the shit box I'm playing with... Cheers and take care.
Yeah the late 1970's V8 cars were slowed down with lower compression and Chrysler vehicles lean burn(spark control computer and smog carb) But remove that they have a lot more performance and are pretty quick ! Vacuum advanced distributor,ecu and a non smog carburetor or aftermarket performance carb !
Remember old recorded times were tested different than today,I don"t know about the Citroen but American cars from the 1960's and early 1970's (even late 1950's Hemi mopars,red ram 318 duel 4bbl in the Fury325,350,361,383) The 60's and 70's cars would spin the skinny tires and slow them down,as they had no traction when recorded on sand beach as 1950's cars were...1960's and 1970's parking lots,back roads even in the rain ! Some were on tracks and that said the drag strips had no compounds like today..Drag Slicks of the 60's and 70's were not better than a modern radial on the average new car fro traction !!! You know the modern space saver skinny spare,thats the width of tires on old cars..Wide Tread performance tires were 195-60 and 70 series 14 and 15 inch !! 1970 they had basically a 205 width and thats skinny ! Even big C body 383 4bbl and 440 cars would never hook up,even from a roll they spun the tires at 15-20 mph when floored ! Fun,but you lost races at the light to lesser cars as you spun across the intersection ,yes 4 lane intersections lol..
Gearing of todays cars are totally different too...Transmision gearing in 8 speads are 4.81 vs 2,45 for a 3 speed automatic that alone makes cars jump off the line,thats why 6 cyl cars are quick today..Also Asian cars have low axle ratio's lower than American makes..down to 5.38's for some models even a Hond a Accord will run 4.xx !! Though they still are not as quick as a 383 4bll C body with 3.23 gearing ! I have alte model car lot and own every type of car I have a few 2018's on my lot (lease returns aka x rentals) I also own many unrestored Mopars and restored Mopars..mainly B body 68-70 but a few e bodies and a few C bodies ! And I own a few 2014-2018 Hemi Mopars..5.7,392 and 6.2 s.c !
Sorry for the babble..But Yes and No the Citroen can beat some YES the 1980's stock V8 cars sure,mid to late 70's will be on the tail of smogger 360 4bbl's...beat smog lean burn 318's by a mile,non lean burn 318's would be close depending how accurate the performance test was on the Citroen !! It might boil the tires off the line,or not..Didnt see the hp/torque,anyways 8 seconds 0-60 isnt bad its quick for a 2000's average type car..137 mph makes it a highway car that beats most new car(non performance) for top end..
Remember the Citroen does 137 mph so I wonder what gear it has,must be a sweat highway car...
Peter dares you to remove that Maserati engine in the SM for a quick splash of paint in the engine bay, and while you're at it put those SM seat covers through the washing machine. Here on YT there is a Columbo episode where Patrick McGoohan drives an SM but ol' Columbo catches up to him with his own daily driver French car. He has a beagle in his car.
Hello
How can I contact you? Do you have an email that I can send you my questions about Citroen SM?
Thank you.
Thank you Scott. Great to see a cwm video to start my Sunday off. Cheers from Groveland Florida.
Hello to all the agents and specially to frankers. 😄👍🚘🚗
this episode is very significant as Dean states that he doesn't like something. I'm so so glad that you're progressing with the SM. I adore classic Citroens & hope to get a BX at some point after I get my Talbot Alpine on the road. There is more innovation in your SM than any car launched in 2018, Citroen made awesome cars back in the day & it's just a shame their name is just plastered on restyled Peugeots. Thinking of a good colour for the SM, it would have to be something quite flamboyant & luxurious, maybe a deep metallic red or a crystal blue/green. Maybe even just go for a bright Alpine white (similar to the Playboy roadtest car), it would certainly show off the clean lines of the car
Colour, of course, is very much a matter of personal taste, but I feel that strong colours really don't work well on the SM. There are a few around in a rather bright mustard yellow (apparently and original factory colour) and it just looks wrong, it rather ruins the styling. The original silver/grey is a very good colour for these, and it is a very contemporary colour now...
@@gosportjamie I think yellows & oranges would definitely be too much, but a deep red (almost burgundy) in metallic would look really smart I think. But of course a Bright White would look simply delicious
@@GreyTheFloydianSergal Yes, a deep wine red metallic would look superb, I have seen one in that sort of a colour and it was so much of a head-turner that I walked into a lamp post. The bright white would look good too, it would need to be a proper white, not an off-white to really stand out but that would work well with all the polished stainless trim. But, it's not our car so it's not our decision. I'm sure Scott has some ideas of his own and, being a painter among his other talents, he probably has a good idea what colours would work and what wouldn't. I must admit I like the silver grey he tried on the wing/fender but I'm not sure it would work on the whole car and it's a bit modern, it might get a little lost in a sea of blando-boxes often painted that sort of colour...
@@gosportjamie I agree with that statement. Scott should know what he's doing & I'm sure he'll make a grand choice, he may even have something in mind that we haven't covered. It's such a shame that silver is such a common colour now-a-days, at least cars like my Beige Talbot Alpine now have a chance to stand out
@@GreyTheFloydianSergal Yes, you certainly don't see many beige cars around now, though some of the modern whites come very close to being beige. You needn't worry, a Talbot Alpine will stand out whatever colour it is...
This is going to be one of the best SM's in the world. Restored and maintained by a guy who loves and respects every stupid French nut and bolt on it.
Well done, indeed.
That was Great!
I love to watch hero's in action!
Totally enjoying your tour through the SM. Engineering at the extreme. Makes my 1st gen Montero look like a TinkerToy truck.
really like to see the sm on.... the road Scott....plus the plymouth....thanks for your efforts....and of course Frankers too and Dean
Only you guys could make me watch 30 odd minutes of s and m madness. Cheers
Made my Sunday better.
Thanks for the awesome video.
Coming along nicely
Legendary stuff.
Whoa... was watching the 24hr race and got a notification... Instant bail out and stage dive for the couch.
I like that ball-joint separator -- way less damaging than the pickle-fork I had to use to get the old ball joints out of my '68 Ford Galaxie last summer.
bringing back memories of my bx 16v one of the best cars i ever had really fun to watch
I recall a French friend who acquired a TA 1953.....it is good that Frankers give you help. Tim Horton's now has take away coffee? I used to get lunch at Horton's in the Soo & then to the seaplane museum..always something new there:)
A suggestion: Shiny Heavy Aluminum foil laminated onto the headlight reflectors might be good enough. Make paper patterns and then transfer to foil. Spray glue is easiest for handling. This is much like myself, very Polish. Bo.
He guys like to watch the videos especialy the citroens.I'm European thats why.I watch video 10 from the sm and i wonder whats happend further?Like to see part 11 in the future.Keep up the good work and also like Deans greasy flip.What a caracter brings a smile on my face.like Frankers too
You scanned by some installed Ligarex fasteners. I have the instruction book for that part if you would need it. Great video; good to see the continuing progress!
"Frankers! Where's the $700 brake vent?" ;)
Great stuff Scott! I'll watch it 3 times to bump up the SM video view count. How about paiting it gold?
Superbe travail !!!
J ai entièrement regarder les épisodes de la FURY, et de la SM . Je me suis abonné.
Je suis impressionné par l ensemble des restaurations, (Même si je ne comprends pas tout (anglais) )
C est minutieux, précis, ordonné en étant fidèle à l origine.
Tu as des mains en or !
Je suis impatient de voir enfin rouler la SM et la fury
Surprenant ce goût pour les voitures françaises anciennes.
Excellente continuation.
Je suis fan.
Please, please, please more videos on the '60 Fury. I have fallen so in love with it that if I lived closer you would have a new agent working on it with just the promise of a ride in it some day.
Good progress!
Good to see you're back on the SM.
(been missing the old girl!)
I finally finished my part on the Ferrari 330, so the 'lectrics are good to go. Robbie's got the motor & gearbox back in and she fired up no prob (with a little coaxing, of course), so he just has to synch the carbs & she's off to the Paint Shop.
It's been 3 1/2 years in starts & stops, coz the 'readies' weren't always ready, damn.
👍
nothing like some long awaited S&M !! on a cold sunday afternoon here in the UK
Direction second to none! Better then that hollywood stuff! Sorta like garage bands have that raw sound and in the moment ,just better and real,not over produced . Cheers !!
I enjoyed our comment about Citroen bolts I ran a BX for over 10 years and I have a collection of weird bolts so I know what you are saying.
Wonderful Video. And informativ
Hey, thanks for the note and for checking it out! Cheers..
This car is amazing in all aspects. It is astounding how over engineered a bunch of the components are, and how a bunch of them are just so complex just for the sake of it. I guess that's how the French like to do things. I enjoy reading about historical tanks and aircraft and the French are well known for doing the same on machines where people's lives matter. Matra and Renault are the ones that come to mind from my reading. Anyways, if a colour change is due I can't wait to see what you come up with! If it was mine, I'd change it to Royal Blue with gold trim and white accents. It's very French but I'm also a fan of dark blues :)
Love all the work going into the marvelous car and letting us come along for the ride.
"Ask and ye shall receive." I commented on an earlier video about another installment on this beauty...Lo and behold, I turn on youtube today, & this is the 1st notice I got. So of course, I fixed lunch and settled in for an informative & humorous half-hour from the gearheads north. Fantastic stuff! Francine did her best to keep you all from sounding like shows on, ahem, Motor Trend..Dean is Dean(thank God), & you know there's always someone in your group that enjoys throwing sand in your bearings(what's his name again?). Anyway - I don't know if you know, but there's this little known game called Grand Theft Auto V, & believe it or don't, there's a car that you can purchase online that looks suspiciously like a SM. I bought one & painted it yellow (it does look good) lol. I'll send you a photo...Thanks for making a snowy Monday better.
P. S. I "read" my dad's Playboys for the crazy #GahanWilson cartoons. My favorite was the one where 2 guards are escorting an unruly prisoner to solitary, & he's begging, "Anywhere but the HOLE!" You get one guess what hole he's referring to...
[quote] it does not look completely fucked..[/quote] Classic quote from coldwarmoters so that's why I watch this same old shit.. :)
[quote] I've tried that shit, it doesn't work..[/quote].. Classic!
The steam cleaner did an outstanding job, after a lot of scrubbing, obviously. Now I'll have to go back and watch earlier shows to get the information on it. Screw that transmission I need to pull out. Lol
More sweet machine, nice work, personally like the silver. Man that frankers is a cute dog! You must not get much sleep! Awsome citroen info+ playboy, (does it get any better?!) I think not. Hey, try to keep warm! Wayne aka the revved up yooper.
Excellent talented host!
CITROEN properly named this model the "SM" for "SA DO- MASOCHISTE" !
wow chief/guys amazing results
The CWM SM restoration is a great undertaking and not something the average mechanic could do, and all the other things such as, installing Euro head lights that weren't originally there , rebuilding old parts, repairing the rust, and fixing the body & paint. And being that it is a Citroen, it's complicated. It is a mountain of work and analogous to climbing a mountain.
But it's not as dangerous as an expedition to climb "Mount Annapurna I, that is over 8,000 metres (26,000 ft) high in Nepal, with the highest fatality-to-summit ratio (32%) is the highest of any of the eight-thousanders mountain peaks. In particular, the ascent via the south face is considered, by some, the most difficult of all climbs. In October 2014, at least 43 people were killed as a result of snowstorms and avalanches on and around Annapurna, in Nepal. Since March 2012, there had been 191 summit ascents of Annapurna I, and 61 climbing fatalities on the mountain". See Wiki.
I'm just having fun here, you guys are great, God bless you all and Frankers too.
I love this colour. Take it out in the sun. It looks great, trust me. :)
The sliver looks beautiful
can't wait til we can hear the s&m running again, & would love to see the progress on the dart, plymouth project..it's all just great to watch. hello too miss frnkers & of course all the agents. time for a fatty...
Wow, even the balljoints are special on this car.
Jeez, that Citroen is *complicated*! You worked wonders in that engine compartment!
I´m following this series of videos. I love them and appreciate your effort to to restore this charismatic and exclusive car with a low budget and high inventive effort and patience. When are you going to upload part 11?? You are making us wait so much! LoL
Hi! Thanks for the note and for your enthusiasm for the SM project! I am still working on it, but I like to have enough work shown in each video to make them worth watching, so I just film what I am doing for a while, then edit it all together at once. The SM is a big job that I want to do properly, so I have to take my time. More soon for sure...Cheers!
The engineering that went into these cars is incredible. I wonder if any designers of the Citroen SM were also in aircraft design as well. When I look at the mechanicals of this car, it just reminds me of aviation quality materials and design. I don't know too many mechanics that want to work on and restore a Citroen. Thanks for the great video!
first hydraupneumatic Citroën (red fluid) use aviation hydraulic fluid (name Air 3520 in France), but for better reliability (better lubrication), mineral oil (green) was finaly introducted in 1968. The hydraulic system is not so complicated as many think, but many very intelligent solutions was use (for example for the DIRAVI steering), the geabox is ~the same as on the DS super 5, the only real difficult part to maintain is the Maserati engine who as a very long list of conception and built fails: only deep modified engines are realy reliable...the best was the Regembeau engines, but they cost a fortune...
I could smell the LHM fluid, watching you work on the hydraulics. 👍
Watching Dean laugh until he loses his shit is the highlight of my day.
watching you work on the sm is so fascinating to me, i have a 79 cx2400 (like an sm but a family sedan) that i'm near complete on restoring, if you have any questions, i'm happy to help.
Ah more fine viewing on a snowy Sunday morning in Ontario 🇨🇦. Great work today , car is coming along fine . That colour looks good to me , but it’s your car . What happened to the Playboy centrefold ?? LOL . 😄
Cold War Motors, possibly the last place on Earth that needs to make a distinction between ‘Steel Belted Radials’ vs ‘bias’ when telling tire blowout stories.
Great to see your SM again... Keep up the good work, what colour are you thinking of???
Was waiting for you guys to get back into the Citroen, there is nothing better. How is the DS going, I can see some panels around your workshop. Cheers keek it up.
They really are amazing cars. Until you shone a light on them I never noticed before. But complex for their time seems to me. We all have a preference and it's neat seeing someone else's. Great video as always guys. Definitely not the same old shit. It never is.
I sure am happy I'm not the only one that appreciates good, well engineered parts. Usually I just get strange looks from the corners of people's eyes.
Very fine ball joint indeed, it just seems an adjustable preload would be logical and mainstream, apparently not.
👍😎 SM update!
I like the sm and i would like to se it finished
it.s a Beauty
Greets from Holland nice SM ! you have. If you drive one you'll never drive a car the same way, this is your new standard of comfort and driving experience! Great job to restore! This would be a nice colour:
AC095 Gris nacré Grey or :
AC082 Gris Largentière Grey
Thanks for the note! Yeah, I drove this one a bit before I took it apart, and it is just the best car I've ever driven, by far! I'm leaning towards "Brun Scarabee" for the colour, or back to the original silver, depending on the time I can put into the car...Cheers!
Let's work on that 1/4 mile time. A simple turbo ls swap should do the trick..... (lightning strikes commenter turning him to cinders)
I was a little surprised when you said that there was something that you could not do for your self, so I googled "diy silver plating". It looks like you may have some options if it is really ridiculously priced.
What I love about your show is not so much about how you get over the hurdles, but instead its how you just move them out of the way.
Back to the SM. With all the projects you have going on, I guess it helps to keep things fresh by moving back and forth between them?
I think you need to get a western leisure suit like Burt Reynolds wore in the Longest Yards car chase for the first drive after her restoration! What better way to ride in style with a period driving suit!
its built like a fine watch,good thing for a parts car or that would be one busy lathe,
Oh, this is definitely one of those cars where a parts car goes a long way! Every piece of it seems specially designed for this model only! I can't even use the relays from one a year older, because the harness is different. I love it so much though; it is going to be so worth it once it is done... All the best from me and Frankers!
I`m a GM guy ,never gave two shits about anything else . After seeing this build i`m starting to appreciate Citroen. this is all your fault .
As a TR-8 owner I thought there is no amount of automotive agony that I cannot endure.....until I started watching this project. Like Mallory on Everest.
Loving the FWD burnout shot in the promotional literature. Nice choice of beer by Dean too.
From the brutality of the Fury to the pain in the arse precision of the SM, Scott you have more patience than the Dalai Lama.
Its Sunday,,,,but early still in Canada,,,,,hope for a new show later today,,,,never know what exactly,,, "same old shit",, but I love it
What? You don't like that stainless Delorean grey? Love the content as always good sir. Most enjoyable. Keep up the good work.
Good morning Scott and Frankers!
I'm going to give my usual written spewage a rest this week methinks.
Instead, just wanted to let you know once again how much your work is appreciated.
What a treat on a Sunday morning.
You keep makin' 'em, we'll keep watchin' them - as always!
Oh, almost forgot - PATREON, people! Pony up!
-Ed on the Ridge
PS - Oh heck, I just caught a glimpse of SPRAY NINE!
Were you always using that amazing stuff or did you give it a try on my suggestion a while back?
I really don't know how you can make heads or tails of what goes where, amazing really....I agree with the darker sprayed silver looks wrong.
Scott..i bet Jamie Kitman will watch this video..He is a certifiable Citroen lover, albeit, tortured ...but has written several articles on this beautiful car..be fantastic if he interviewed you....great effn video..
Sum-of-a-gum.....Great Car....
Hey how are You, that hub cap on the last classic tire special i have just seen one
identical on a 57 chev convertable on an old standard oil commecial from 1957.
Same in every way.
Always was partial to metallic maroon / aubergine paint job on SM & CX.
Always wondered why the NA version of the SM did not have the plastic cover over the lights and center on the grill. The latest SM update solves the mystery - exterior cup holders! Citron knew back in 1971 that we are in love with cup holders. Perfect place to place coffee / beer / soft drink cartons.
What plastic?
@ The clear plastic covers over the headlights and center. See the picture of the European model in this episode.
