Fury Update and 1951 Mercury Farm Truck!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 มิ.ย. 2019
- HI! We're back with Part 17 of the Fury rebuild! This time I'll get the left 1/4 panel dialed in and we'll have a look at tidying up the engine bay and swapping in the correct wheel wells ahead of the firewall. The engine colour has always bothered me, so what better than a Poly Dust-in to sort it out? Also, Agent 223 dropped in to show me his "new" camera and I figured we should have a look at his sweet 1951 Mercury pickup which has been put together just the way I like to see them!

Hey! Thanks for checking out the latest installment on our Fury project! This week we'll finish fabbing the left 1/4 panel sheet metal, and start swapping and painting the wheel tubs so we can swap out the ones from the Dodge donor car. Also: Time for a quick engine dust-in this week on "Poly Talk"! Then, Agent 223 stops in again; this time to show off his sweet old camera and take us for a spin in his lovely 1951 Mercury M1 farm truck, and Frankers is getting quite muddy...

great show thanks for sharing!
You know Scott,
As long as you were there, with such great access, you could have rebuilt the engine. And as long as you're doing that, the trans coulda got a freshening. And, as long as
................. lol It'll only take a few minutes. (Air time) lol
Glad you're still producing. Looks like you've got yourself a regular job.
Can't be all bad, plenty of friends and folly.
Hi Scott, you know i love the fury. Shes lookin good. Excellent video. Thanks for making my Saturday great. I kept checking early and thought mabye tommorow. But you came through, awsome. Rev.
@@waynegouin939 Hi Wayne! Thanks for the note buddy... I'm uploading another vid to the Patreon site right now featuring some sweet Frazer demolition action, haha! Cheers buddy!
Scott, thanks for posting this. The Merc pu was a gem. Flatheads are IMO highly underrated and tough as nails. Might we get a revisit from that bitchin 383ci HiPo Newport 4dr with the black cop wheels and true Flowmaster duels? Until I saw 1 of your much earlier vids... I hadn’t even heard of a Mercury pickup until the cold start compilation with the blue Merc pu. And the Cooper Mini... always wondered what happened to the blue Mercury pu. I’m bias and prefer a physical picture via: 35mm Japanese SLR camera’s as well as tube powered amps Hiwatt, Vox, Fender, Marshall, Orange. Same with vinyl and home audio. If can’t get good sound out of a 2 channel amp theirs something wrong. McIntosh tube power amps and component pieces are the best investment for listening pleasure and value. Paired with vintage reference monitors
Having Jim on these videos really makes them. The banter back and forth between you guys is pretty great.
Jim look`s like he fell asleep in 1977 and just woke up in 2019....Shirt is priceless....LOL
Looks like he's a shave and a basset hound away from winning a Snowman look a like contest.
@@VanWinger I was thinking Snowman Jerry Reed too !
He ROCKS
Oh yeah no it's the spirit of the glove box.
Oh yeah!
This reminds me of the good times I had as a child. Every day at 5:00 just before supper brothers and sis would sit down and watch reruns of the Partridge family while mom was making supper. We all knew all the jokes by heart and how the story ended but enjoyed it all same as the first time we saw it. This car is an amazing story. Very inspiring as well.
Jim is a cool guy. I love how he appreciates all the original factory history and details. Thumbs up Jim.
It’s so cool when you’re shooting videos of someone else’s treasures and there in the background are all of my favorites from episodes gone by!
I can’t get enough of this crap!
Love it!
Another great video with nice mellow music accompanying the lovely truck working through the farm track at the end. There is something softer and slightly musical about the sound of those flat head engines. Cheers.
It's a guy taking a digital picture of a guy taking a film picture of an old mercury truck that will probably still be around and earning its keep long after we and the cameras are gone, and I love it! Awesome!
The ending of this video the air shot of the truck driving away with the music in back ground reminds me of those super cool nostalgic 1960s-70s trucker films with the tripper now rare country hit that makes the film that much more awesome
You're living the life, Scott. Great people, great place, great motors and you're giving us great videos.
No doubt! That's what I've wanted since I was young, a yard FULL of old cars to fix up and have fun with! You are living my dream!
I have to say your sheetmetal fabrication is right up there with the best. Yes you don't have all the high tech equipment, but boy, you get it done.
I could watch Scott work his magic for hours daily. It makes my day when a Cold War Motors video pops up !
I am so glad that Jim has preserved this truck. Most of my collection is vintage trucks. Every time I watch this episode I always wonder why I sold this one. So if your talking to Jim mention to him that I have the correct Mercury tailgate for this truck.
You have such amazing persona surounding you, its amazing and I love it. Thoroughly enjoyable to watch and it genuinely makes me want to be there. Cherish it, it's such a rare thing this day and age.
YOU BASTARDS!! I love ya! First I wasn't going to watch a full 45 minute video tonight but I thought "Hey just take a short look at how the Fury's doing". BUT NOOOO>>> I start to just want to be a part of everything you're doing that next ting I know that I'm having massive emotional flashbacks of my grandfathers old Fargo truck that he took us grand kids to the Taber Dump with in Alberta. Mind you he had one of the steering balls on his wheel. Suddenly, There I am. I am. Sitting in the truck with you guys just loving the ride and the experience!! Hearing that Flathead sounding almost like a train engine and a dog whine while going through the long straight cut gears. Wow. YOU BASTARDS! Now it's almost Midnight and I gotta get up for church in the morning. But seriously Thank you for this great trip down memory lane. I just feel grateful for the life I've lived and those that I grew up knowing and now missing. That was a time and those WERE the days!
That wheel arch repair is unfreakingbelievable... better than art 👍
This Fury is shaping up beautifully. Salute to you all for some great restoration work!
You must have some really good friends to work with you at 2:00 in the morning doing sh*twork!
It's probably still light where they are at that time.
weed n beer helps, i can attest to that
Scott, your content is just getting less shitty with every upload. Really, this 45 minute episode literally blew by. I really appreciate y’all.
Go ahead and burn one. You’ve earned it.
Back in 81 I had an OM10, the must have camera of the time for me as an art college student. Great quality feel, if a little small. Amazing fabrication by the way.
a 45 minute CWM video while having lunch? Fuck yeah!!!
I always enjoy getting to see Jim's stuff. His quips and banter are hilarious too. I hope you will do an episode on that '41 he's putting together.
Agent 223 has more style than I can even comprehend! Rock on. Also the drone work in the last few videos has added a lot. Keep up the good work.
Guy steps out of his truck and approaches you you'd expect him to be confused and ask you what year is it and who's the president.
@@ORPKryzys The Prime Minister.
Hey and Scott RULE
*He and Scott
Nice OM1 camera kit; good score and future younger generations will not know what it does! Love your 'treasure trove' yard full of classic machines and your diligence in restoring them .Bst wishes from Aus.
Just came in from my own field of dreams...staring at my 45 Dodge early Power Wagon, working on my 78 IH scout..Was just dicking around the yard on my old Honda 110. Its good to have a cup of tea and watch the show. You guys are awesome. Thanks for every show, and happy to be a part of the Patreon support.
Wow, I've said it before, but man your abilities are off the hook. You may not think this is interesting but I'll tell ya, I'd rather watch this all day than most the real shit on TV. Thank you for saving these cars and thank you for showing us how it's done!
The only show on TV that I can approaching this would be the recently-ended FantomWorks.
Ask Scott how he likes knocking dents out of minivans as opposed to this stuff.
All TV is Shit now. This is Exactly the show I always dreamed of watching. This show makes my decade. So great !
Even in today modern body shop world they have turned into "parts replacement techs" I seriously doubt if many of them know what a hammer and dolly is much less have your ability to use them in conjunction with your fantastic fabrication skills. You are to be congratulated sir on your abilities with a dying art.
Love the Mercury Pickup with the flathead. I have still have my Canon AT1 that I bought in 1978 when I was on the yearbook and newspaper staff at high school. I've picked up a couple of Minolta's as well as a Yashica to add to my collection.
You are the Metal Maestro my friend. When you are done with this project there will not be one square inch that you haven’t touched. This is my favorite channel of all that I am subscribed to. Thanks for the update. 👍☮️
You display incredible craftsmanship. This project is almost as involved as miss Belvedere would be.
Another winner from CWM's! That Fury engine really pops with the silver. Can't wait to see the finished product. Such a great project! The drone footage of the Merc Pickup was sweet also. You gotta love those flatties they sound so fine indeed. CHEERS! to another successful installment!
Boy, that was a fast 45 minutes!
Jim (Agent 223) looks exactly like some dude from the early 1970's with his fancy dress shirt, haircut, vintage film camera and old Mercury farm truck.
Nice job on the Fury. It's the little things like the engine compartment detail that are going to shine when all is said and done and the Fury is together and running.
From Kuwait we love you and your fury🇰🇼🇰🇼🇰🇼🇰🇼🇰🇼🇰🇼🇰🇼🇰🇼
love the Merc truck. Agent 223 almost needs his own spinoff series.
Nice repair on the rear quarter panel and what a great looking original Mercury Truck !
Love that old Mercury Truck, flatheads rule!
Looking forward to seeing the Fury in all it's future glory
That Fury is getting great work done, lots of details.
You're raising the bar pretty high with the cinamatic-quality drone footage at the end. We'll try not to expect that level all the time. Thanks for the variety and the humor.
The fury is coming along nicely. You are good at making those lower panels and wheel arches. I made the top of the B pillars on my 1990 Toyota pick up (extra cab) with the recesses for the door and side window all in one piece so I can appreciate what you are doing with the fury. The ford pick up is tidy and has that used and worn but not wrecked look No one at ford ever thought they would last for 50 + years and still be on the road.
your philosophy of automobile redux is outstandingly good. without your attention to these old relics the past would be nothing but images. thanks again
That OM-1 set was the thing in the day ( late 70s) all you need now is a Black and White Dark room. Develop it yourself!. It is hilarious to watch him discover the use of the camera. I used one like it for years, still have it. Love the Merc
My favorite video of yours this year. I love old Mercury trucks with all the aged patina. And that one had some great battle scars to go with it’s age. It was perfect, thank you for the tour and uploading this one.
Happy to see some Canadian content on the TH-cam, some good finds,my Dad had a fleet of 49-52 GMC and Chevy half tons going, all running on 6 volts, good vids ,keep it up!
Scott that is an awesome metal skills you have man I wish I could do that kind of metal work keep the videos coming on the fury want to see her all the way to the paint job
I was just rewatching some of these Fury updates, and when I saw the engine painted silver I immediately thought "but did you paint the carburetor?" haha
Nothing betters the sound of a healthy V8 Ford Flathead..bliss.
Agreed! Miss my 1949 Ford business coupe . Paid 150 bucks for it in 1968, could not hear that flathead run.
And that one did sound nice and happy just sat there popping away.
the 'Flathead' is so cool. those flatheads can run like sowing machines real smooth.
Love the slow idle on that beautiful Mercury pickup...
That was a great piece of panel making for the 60 plymouth sill/wheel arch assembly....
Its gonna look really great when it's finished.
thanks for posting.
Classic episode, and I'm now eagerly awaiting the release of the new CWM "Unsynchronised Firsts Save Lives" T-shirt!
Mercury Pick up is awesome. As is the OM-1 camera. Japanese and Canadian quality side by side. The fury getting a little closer to the yard lap with Frankers!
In the 1950's they called those hubcaps on the Mercury "MOONS" and they were very popular. Great youtube program you do! Thank you! Ron
That's one nice "Merc. truck!
This is what I sub'd to this channel for:
27:35 - Scott(talking about the camera): "Whaddaya got in it?"
Agent 223(talking about the truck): "239 Flathead."
Scott: "I was talking about the camera."
You can't make this stuff up...the camera work, humor, adult beverages, competent body & paint work, friendship, and a beautiful poodle.
Oh yeah, the weather...reminds me of my town(if you don't like it, wait 15 mins...it'll change) :)
Cheers from the City of Big Shoulders! (edit) One other thing: Scott, you're going to have to change the motto: "It's rare, and we don't care" to "It's rare, and we kinda care" because now you're fixing & dusting up the engine compartment. If we see you considering color swatches for the interior... we vote for blue.

Hi Scott ! I Am Always Happy to Receive a New Video From You of Coldwar Motors. I am LOYAL a 55
yr old in Wheelchair from Spinalcord Injury on 08/09/90 in Peoria IL...
I Cant Wait to See '60 Fury Finished this year 2019. Thanks 1964
Hey Scott ! I never thought it could be done ! Man was I wrong. What a great car ! Concours de elegance...... well kinda
Flat Black is flattest at the bottom...great quote.
My dad used to sell OM-1s at his camera shop in the 70s. he loved Olympus second only to his Leicas.
That is a nice camera. My dad had one that I sold on eBay and sold a few Pentax K1000 as well. There is a good market in Asia for them. Lovely Mercury truck and I appreciate keeping it as is. Those flatheads always look super heavy... big hunks of iron.
That's some good SHIT right there Have a great day
I like what you folks are doing and it does my heart good to see you fixing up forgotten classics. Keep it up many thanks.
You do F'ing great work.... Love your resto/repairs, and ingenuity.
Hey thanks, and thanks for watching this stuff! Cheers...
Watching the ride in Mercury Pickup truck, I had a continuous smile on my face love the critique Ya Gotta LUV the survivors lol
Great show. Just keep getting better and better.
I’m not even a big fan of the mercury truck. Until you start talking about the details of it. Cool truck. Great job on the inner fenders and the engine paint job.
Thanks for the good videos...and showing the world Canada has cool car guys too
The drill holes in the shift knob are Braille? No? LMAO Great truck!
Once again youse' guys hit it out of the park.. love the metal magic..thank you
Great seeing how much progress you have made on the Fury. The old Mercury truck brings back some fond memories of a 1950 Ford F1 that my buddy's Dad had, back in the late 60s. They owned a body shop so it was restored like new. The Flathead ran so smooth and quiet that only way you could tell it was running from under the hood was the fan was going around. You could sit a glass of water on the hood and there weren't even any ripples in it. I got to drive it from their house to the body shop and back several times, with the owner of course, when I just had my learners permit. I was a farm kid so I had been driving tractors and trucks from the time I could reach the pedals. So he wasn't worried to let me drive it. In the early 70s they decided to turn it into a drag racer and put a modified Mustang drive line in it. The last time I saw it was in the mid 70s sitting outside the body shop with a blown engine.
Keep it going guys, loving it.
Thanks so much; we will if anyone wants to see it! Cheers...
Great episode as usual nice touch with the drone footage at the end very classy....
Positive comment to help rankings.
Love the flattie powered Pickup. My earliest memory was sitting in the front of a near new 46' Pickup my dad borrowed to go and collect my new born brother from the hospital,and being told to not touch the Fing gear lever.which i did...
In New Zealand that model were always popular and for some reason were known as a 'Bonus built' .Even into the 70's they held their value because folks realised they were a quality truck and easy to live with.
You know you're old when you remember the TV ads for the Olypus OM1!! Love your videos!!
Huge honor to be mentioned in the patrons section at the end. Love your channel and proud to support it!
I did not know that mercury made a truck I thought only dodge did I’m 53 you lean new stuff all the time thanks for the video
Mercury truck Canada only so Mercury dealers would have a truck to sell, if there was no Ford dealer in town. They were made from 1947 to 1972.
Mark Linder wow I would enjoy seeing those also
@Mark Linder Not in the US or Canada but for certain export markets. Last I heard they were still making DeSoto trucks in Turkey.
Btw ... I like the Fury as well, strong work, tough job to take on!
Yes, a neat Mercury alright. As soon as I heard the vigour in the starter motor I knew it had a 12V conversion!
Awesome truck! Nice!! That’s the way to roll, gone through mechanically and ready to enjoy. I have a similar one, it sports a Cold War Motors sticker. Fun truck to run.
Damn Scott, what a Dream Life ! You and the Agents Really know how to Enjoy life 👍👍👍👍🏆🏆🏆🏆
The Fury looking good rare car here in Ohio it's going to be so nice
I could listen to the sound of that flathead forever. Man, that's an amazing sound!
Amazing find on the 35mm SLR. I have a Nikon F3 with that same Vivitar lens. The ones that would screw on were Pentax.
Love those old trucks! Ill take an old one over a new one any day!
The Fury is a project that reminds of the one you did on the Frazier. So involved...very impressive...
I would make that truck into a replica of the Sanford & Son truck! Watching that show when I was a kid made me want to have a yard filled with old "junk" to play with and if that dream came through for me, I wouldn't have become a hermit that fixes up small things that clutter up my apartment. I'm suffering from depression from the sheer lack of human contact and no big projects to work on while having a few beers and a few joints with friends. If I lived in Canada I would love to hang out with you guys, but I'm stuck in the USA.
Hammer and dolly work is just so much fun (but not very!).
That M1 is a beauty!!!!!!
Another Quality Video...and another good ole girl
Love the CWM resto philosophy: tidy but not cute 😁. The flatty concert at the end was 👌
What a lovely machine, want!
That hit the spot...great episode! Jim scored a very nice camera. The OM series is a pro level camera, I have a bunch that I've gotten for 20-30 bucks a pop. Marvels of engineering in their time...light, compact, dependable. The lenses are awesome, you can get those pretty cheap, too. When I finally got around to building a shutter speed tester, I discovered why I couldn't seem to control my exposures, which was because every damn OM I owned, the higher speeds were all hovering around 125 or so. They're very much worth getting overhauled, and it's not too pricey. I recommend mailing it off to John Hermanson in NY, though I'm sure there's someone up in your neck of the woods.
You guys are good enough to be on motortrend... No b.s. i watch roadkill an all them shows.yers has an originality...real reality. Yer reality. Mabye yer better than ther shows. I look forword to this show as much or more than any others.
I used to think Roadkill was my end all be all favorite, but this is the BEST of the BEST.
@@shaunclifton5281 agreed. Is it just me or does it seem like the show has changed frieburger? Mabye theyv spread themselves too thin so too speak...episodes seem thrown together in a rush sometimes now
@@adammarsden4650 You're right. Which shows that it's better just to watch and Enjoy Scott and the Agents here, because Television would screw up this great show.
The fury is looking great guys!! Looks to be nearing the home stretch. Wow what a lot of great work done on that car. A true rescue of a beloved automobile.
That truck tho!! A celebration of Canadian manufacturing. So good to see. I envy to no end the fellowship and comradery of some good car guys having some beers and picking away on an old car slowly bringing it back to life again. No Dean or Stella this time around. We'll see them next time im sure. I'll be watching for sure. Take care fellas!!
Wheel *coves* , that fancy Fury has! 🙂
- Ed
Much needed motivation to get my 51 F3 back on the road.
Very cool old truck I have and drive a 52 with the original 239 flat head that still runs great . Mine came with 15 inch wheels no radio ...3 speed on the tree .
Jim is THE MAN 🕶.
Thanks, this was so fun!
Olympus OM-1. Sweet. Oly made relatively compact & lightweight gear, very nice handling. The 50 mm f/1.8 lenses, while being more compact, are often even better than the f/1.4 lenses, at all apertures except of course f/1.4.
Excellent end, drone scene and music!!!I really enjoyed seeing that '51 Merc also! Cheers!
The fury is looking awesome!!!!
I love your videos and I wouldn't miss one for the world. Being from the states, It seems strange to hear you guys talking about a Mercury truck. Here A Mercury is a car and a truck is a Ford. LOL
