What a gem that truck is! It's gonna make a sweet roadster. That timelapse with you and Shepard was hilarious and I loved every minute of it. When you can't find something, you will have to go back and look at the footage to see where Shepard put it for you.
Don't know what's better, Shepherd climbing over the axle again and again to get a hammer or wrench, trying on the safety glasses, standing back when the "loud" cordless impact was going, or him putting on the "giant" gloves...
Travis I love watching you and Shepard working together in the shop. I have some Great memories working with my son's and now my Granddaughter, She is my Ride or Die Buddy, She has some of her own tools as well. Good Times
I watched you mount the tires for the "T". Please don't sit on a tire until the bead is seated. I suspect you were being to conservative on the air pressure you were trying to seat the bead. But that is a good thing. Better safe than sorry. Also, when mounting the tire, take smaller bites with the prying tool.
I’ve heard a story about Ralph Earnhardt (Dale Earnhardt dad) using screwdriver shafts for axle keys on his race car back in the day. Drivers would have them break and he always had spares when they couldn’t get them.
Since it’s a Brookfield, why not extend the open cab at the rear quarters so you can fit in it. Shorten the bed for the difference. Get your self a Pete’s & Jakes frame components.
About 15 years ago I bought a ‘29 RPU in not as nice condition. The biggest mistake I made was restoring it as a stock Model A. In retrospect I should have yanked off the body and bed and scrapped all the stock 4 banger chassis stuff. The stock Model A frame isn’t strong enough to handle any horsepower and if you’re actually going to drive these you need to keep up with traffic and be able to stop. BTW Brookville has been around (I think) since the ‘70’s.
Recess box the frame with plates 1/5 thicker than than Henry's frame, drill lightening holes or cut slots similar to '39 X member before welding the plates. The recess sort of hides the weld making the box look factory, a channel to run wires or lines. Pete and Jake suspension components would complement the car.
Treasure that video, with your son, forever! Hopefully he will develop a mechanical passion, as you have. Does my heart good!
The kid's hired!
Shepherd is really helping in this video. Cute little guy.
Good little helper you have there!
Grinding out there with your lil buddy!! Nice
Like father like son. Good boy! 😊
Awesome , love the helper. My son and I have been working on our 29 RPU since he was 6, he’s now 19! Some of the best memories.
Love you include your son in this stuff… good dad!
Gonna be a neat build!

Love that your young apprentice has free run of the shop to experience the fun of hot rod building!!
Love your videos! They have inspired me to get out into the garage and work on my rods! Thank you for all your hard work!
Glad to hear it!
pretty ambitious helper You have
Enjoyed seeing ur son hammer away 🤙🏻
You would never get done without the supervisor I'd bet.
👍👍☕
Cool 😎
I have the same latches and strikers in my roadster, I had to grind and file both strikers to get them to engage into the latches, royal pita.

You could do like Halfass Kustoms and put a late 4 cylinder that is injected and has a computer.
I feel like a martini 🍸 other than that great video 👍
I like it with the fenders. Better than open in my opinion 🇬🇧

Looking forward to seeing more Travis Nice Start

Hahah its his favorite thing to do!
It looks like you got yourself a new power hammer...?
Good eye! 🤫

I’ve done that too! Haha

cool truck. I like your idea of the flathead but I also like the banger. Did you sell the Coupe?
I’m thinking those 4 extra bolts you bought go in the top of your dash panel?
Did the screws go into wood?
i'd say that's your son's truck now.
👍🏻🍺
what is with that shifter dude?....is it proper bent or stock?...good luck with her..
Pretty sure brookville roadster has been around since 1976. I could be wrong.
1972
Your son seems to be working harder than you. Lol
How might I be able to get in contact with you?
