Hey Gang! Let us know what you think about the Old 1931 Chevrolet!
Awesome!! Just the boost I need to get out to the garage and work on my speedster project, '31 chevy driveline in a '25 chassis.
i cheered when it fired up! 🤭
What a sweet ride. Awesome 31' !
It’s just perfect, I’d suggest a very minimal tidy up get it driving and enjoy it.
What a beast it's ready to go on a Sunday cruise
You boys are the salt of the earth, and your humour and passion is universal.
I have a mechanic and his son here in Ireland and it’s generally a comedy show when I call in for a service.
My personal favourite is ‘jeez man your car’s had more hits than the Beetles!’
But you guys are the best by far!
The most beautiful poetic verse in the old automotive world is ''It's a runner". good time thanks.
Jim's linear intensity always steals the show.
I love how when you work on these cars, it’s with all the old tools that would have been used when these cars were new. It really takes me back in time to “visit” your shop.
Nothing will get ya more excited than that, when she all of a sudden becomes a runner! congrats....looks like you've got yourselves a descent engine there..cool. Can't complain about that boy's good on you.
The discovery of field repairs and "wharever works" straight thinking is always a pleasure to see, and rural areas are the best places to find them.
I like looking back to watch the shelves at the shop gradually fill up with dusty NOS parts we used to find at swap meets back in the day.
Love the "farmer's wire = mechanic's wire" nomenclature, where a material or tool is given authenticity -- and the employer, a self-perceived cleverness -- by virtue of naming something for its use by another valued group. " It works for them, so it should work for us!"
Great job, as always!
I love that the only things not vintage are the cameras, the lighting, and you guys.
This old buggy has lots of possibilities!!!!
Off to the Oil Rig! That Hard Hat is stylin' now!
Matt and Jim--The only two guys who where flannel in August! 😆 But also the two coolest guys with the best barn find cars!
You two and your old crocks always bring a smile!
Ol' Chevy is pretty darn cool. Waiting to see how she goes!
NICE!!!
No laptop, no TSB, no scanner.... simple.
Always makes me smile when a will it run gets it running. Well now she deserves a good cleaning
She's a runner! What a sweetheart.
You guys are having waaaaay too much fun. Nice revival on this old stovebolt.
My sentiments exactly!
GREAT "Will it Run" Video Guys!
Ding ding YEAH!!
That is amazing how those old engines could sit for years and yet with only a points file be revived. Wore a hard hat like that back in the west Texas oil fields back in the early 70's. Sure enjoy y'all's videos.
Guys I not really a Chevy fan .But that being said that was fun and amazing and she deserves a new life way too go thanks 😊
Boy, that brought a smile to my face. What a treat.
14:07 I freaking love the joy you two exude lol. Oh ho ready to hit the town!!! 🤣👍
She's a runner! Incredible that it's charging and has good oil pressure.
I’ve lived a good life watching your videos.
Great work guys!
Always enjoy your episodes, thanks.
You guys are great!
"... big Martin guitar." YES!!!!!
That’s just amazing! Love the retro hard hat as well!
Sounds pretty good!
I don't know why you have all those wonderful period tools - you just showed that all that's needed is a gasoline container, an ignition wrench and a points file (plus pliers or wrench to change the battery)!
Unbelievable. Amazing that with so much wrong, and so many years behind her, the engine started right up. Thanks for the fun - and the added bonus of the hardhat liner.
It’s like listening to Bob and Doug McKenzie do an auto shop channel… 😂
“Take off, you hoser!!!”
Everything about this is cool! I especially liked the period correct aluminum hard hat with its new/old liner!! I had wondered why old films of heavy equipment operators seemed to have shine on their helmets....well they were aluminum...I had no idea.
Awe the suspense... it will run! I can't handle this excitement it's almost like Christmas morning here... goose bumps included!!
+From the deserts of Southern California...Thanks for a great show! We have a need for a DRAG RACE between Strongs Garage and Cold War Motors! Carry on!
Amazing the 90 year old runs great ,I hope I'm still running as nice when I'm that old 👍🏻
That auto is sooo awesome!! Good luck bringing it back to life!! Clean it up and make it driveable!!
I have a 29 chevy with the same set up. Two things I've learned about these cars . The armored cable laying of to the side of the distributor . Leave it there it's junk and disconnected for the same reason. Old wires inside and a steel conduit make for lots of electrical shorting. Save your battery & starter by putting a old style primer cup on the car. Updraft carbs are hard to prime and if you use the stock air cleaner like mine a real joy to remove. On the intake manifold there is a plug for the vacuum to the windshield wipers which yours doesn't have. Get a old style primer cup and feed the gas or starter fluid from there. It will start right up and no removing of the air cleaner. Primer cup looks cool to!
Well done guys, not suprized, the stovebolt six was as reliable an engine as the 350.
The knowledge and the humor are top shelf, keep ’em coming boys.
As a longtime Cold War Motors fan, I have to say I am really enjoying the spinoff's. You guys are like the Laverne & Shirley of Cold War Motors. I mean that in a good way, eh?
Great first start! You guys are a treat!
Man I love this Chevy Coupe! Wish I could purchase/restore it!! You guys are just awesome!
Cars man they're all cool! 😎
I think the right thing to do is to give the car to me. Its the last thing anyone would expect. M. Night Shyamalan plot twist guaranteed to get you a million subscribers!
two thumbs up !!!
With the hard hat , liner and heater she’s all ready to take you out to work on a big ole wood derrick
Suck, Squeeze, Bang and Blow! As long as there is air, fuel and spark it will run, barring major mechanical problems (no rods out the side, stuck valves or round cam lobes). GOOD DEAL! Put some tires on it, new glass and some bulbs and it's parade ready.
Really cool video boys. Glad Scott turned me on to ya. Sure wish I could do all your doin! Junk Box Mike, Indiana USA
What a kick in the seat to hear that fire right up. Nice score!
Yes Sir, That's my baby now" CHEERS
That's great to see the motor is running
Thank you, gents, I'm really enjoying these videos. I'd best become a patron next week!
What a great car, reviving a 70 odd year prius will be just as easy what, not!
The 31 Chevy is awesome I think all you need to do is clean it up give it a super tune-up and add a little nitrous
Sounds sweet! Thought you’d throw it in gear and have it run a foot or two under power, but I guess cooler heads prevailed. Love the videos!
One of those "firsts" with the old cars.
It'll be interesting to see what you do with it!
Yeah that’s right let’s make it run
Maybe ask Scott if he has a spare 'my classic tire' for that spare wheel. 😉
Good effort on the first startup. Didn't need much.
As you said earlier, some of us say "I'd rather push a Chevy than drive a Ford." It's been a while since I actually heard that old line.
I know all other auto manufacturers had battery compartments, trays , and boxes. I had forgotten that Chevrolet was the only one with the more frivolous "battery nook" Love the throttle return cable. If you run one to that headlight you could have a left turn signal, eh? I think your best find was the hardhat liner. You two are very funny, keep having fun. Great old car.
What a treat! That Chev is such a sweetie. Great stuff as always, gentlemen; never "half-a'd", haha!
Thanks Straight Ahead ✌😎
Well, this was cool, can't wait to see what you guys do next with the chevy.
Very nice! It sounds good...
That's fun for a 100 years!
Chevrolet.... like a rock even if 90 years old... nice work guys !
Cheers from Texas. 🤠
Yaa! Very Cool...
Excellent!. if you check the oil again, it might not be so clean. Non detergent oils can let the dirt and carbon sink to the bottom of the sump. I noticed it on motorcycles, back in the day.
I'm surprised 😯!
A lot of guys working the rigs back in the 60's in Alberta bent the sides of those hard hats up to resemble a cowboy hat. Looked good if done right. You need some stickers on it as well.
That`s one smooth running automobile you guys got there. thanks for another great one.
Very nice old chevy. So cool that it started with just some gas and cleaning the points. Not as many of the old chevys around as there are of the ford's. Very cool find guys👍
I think it’s great to start off with the least amount of effort to show how well cars were made back then. I’m currently trying to get my 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback to fire up. Maybe I can borrow some of your luck!!! Fun video… thanks a lot!!! The Old Army Scout.
Very impressive, this upload...
That's awesome.
If it's anything like the Fords of the era, the Model A was gravity fed, but when they went to Model B with a fuel pump (like the Chev) the carburetor float was then fitted with a small spring in the float assembly to help seat the needle against the fuel pump pressure. Maybe once the fuel pump is back in the system it will continue to run, and maybe even idle.
Congratulations 🍾
Great job. Gonna keep ur head warm too. Double win
Its cool you it running!
It’s a 6 wheeler! 2 On the finders! 32 1st year for down flow carb.
Stopped the fires under the car when starting especially priming.
Only in Canada Boy's😊❤❤ford fan me love show❤❤
That Dreadnaught wrench is a McKinnon or Gray Canada wrench from between the wars... contemporary for the car! Tremendous that it ran so well straight off like that!
+ ground? I imagine
She's a runner !!
As a big 32 Chevy fan (although there hasn't ben one in the family since 1973) I fully approve of the content of the vid. 🧡🧡😊😊
