- Oh the joys of old cars... not 😐 We want to pull the 1948 Chevy Fleetline out of the shipping container and drive it into the new building but we're not sure if it's going to run or if we'll be able to get the brakes unstuck 🆘

Chad & Jolene you guys do you and I will keep watching, maybe I am easily amused but, I enjoy watching no matter what project you are working on. Either the needle & seat or the float are stuck in the carb. Tap on the front cover gently with the handle end of a screwdriver or a rubber hammer to see if you can jar them free. You will know if it worked if the carb stops leaking gas. Great work as always guys, be back tomorrow!
Yeah I suspect the float has sunk; it's not stopping the gas, and the float bowl is flooding. Is that a Holley 1920? - if so, not a great carb.
To help with condensation in sea cans, put some roof vents in and side vents to get air movement, like the attic of a house.
That was my first car in 1967. I could fit 4 people in the trunk for sneaking into the drive-in.
I've noticed it in the background many times, and wondered it's fate.
Lots of good memories with this car. ❤️
Really sounds like you need to buy it Frank! Make some new memories. When I saw it I thought "hey that's one of those 'salesman' cars" where the business traveller could have a bed in the trunk.
Back in 60s we had that car and used for picking up Boulders for a retaining wall around the house he built. It did its job as kids the neighborhood kid worked all day collecting those rocks them all 10 off us eould pack in to go for 10 cent soft serve. Does bring back memory's. Chad what's that. Worth today. When wall was finished he gave it a way. Was such a work horse it was.
@@stephencarlson1160 Back in the 1990's my bride & I would collect rocks & use them in our DIY landscaping. We were limited by what we could get in the back of our Ford Escort wagon but we still collected thousands of pounds of rock over a few years. Biggest ones had to have weighed a 150+ pounds. Thanks for the memory!
ALSO , My first "driver" in 1958 , when I took Driver's Ed and got my license at FOURTEEN !!!! Damn , 64 years !
Do you KNOW A , 14 year old that you'd turn lose in a car , TODAY ?? We were in a deeper part of the Gene Pool !
@@sandybarbee8401 well sir it's all due respect that would make your barn 1944. So was Dad home on leave a little bit before that? My grandparents had 12 kids. So you always knew when my grandfather is home from the railroad approximately 9 months after he was home.
You need air flow in them storage containers, to stop it from condensation 👍
it’s great to see you moveing the cars around and getting them running and put in the new building, Jolene an aiden are such a big help to you, even fina is helping,lol lol.I enjoy watching what ever you guys are doing from day to day,,luv ya’s,,👍👍😀
Good plans. A fabrication shop, a body shop, a paint booth and a new home for the finished products. Well done.
Keep the Fleetline it's in amazing shape for it's age bring it back to it's original glory don't cut it up
These cars are rare.
@@Roger-hq1yt and yet you watch this channel everyday and read all the comments while still never having built a car yourself no doubt
I need the front sheet metal for my style master…
That’s like saying don’t do what ya truly love.. I bet hard money if Chad keeps it he’s gonna do Chad and is gonna be bad a$$
It can easily fetch $628K as it sits
Love watching ...you need to keep a can of starting fluid handy
Looks like a fun day..mannn that shop is great,it's going to fill up quick. I think your idea about making the containers a body shop is a great idea. Save u alot of headache. Especially when your sanding fiberglass and up to your elbows in dust for weeks, and u decide u need a break and want to weld a few days. That's when jokes on u and u get to spend your day away from it cleaning it..
You could never find a better friend than Aiden....Great work guys...Happy new year
That 48 is a pretty car, and brings back a lot of memories. My friend had a 47 torpedo back, with which we a great deal of fun. I had a mildly customized 322 ci Buick powered 47 Coupe, and regrettably, in 1963 I had to sell to go back to schul to get edjumacated. I loved that car, and under different circumstances, would still own it today.
It is nice to see your building getting filling up.
you should get some ventilation in them storage containers, with nova scotia being so humid some air movement in there would help a lot
That looks like a Holley carburetor with a rectangular bowl like what a lot of Fords had on them in the 60s. They were usually pretty good and the ones that had the clear rectangular bowl on the front were extra cool, since you could look through the glass and see what was going on while it was running and tell if your float level was shutting off at the right height and if your fuel pump is working or not. It looks right at home on that 216.5 “stove bolt Chevy 6”
hello, Chad and Jolene,
@Bad Chad , for riviting the Bugatti again, look at a tool MacroMachines made for riviting his ride on YT. he made a little hollow stub on his air chisel, for creating a dome on both ends.
preventing you from getting a flat spot on one side of the rivettes. and there's no need to think about orientation of the heads, considering drivers-side or not. 👍🏻
Good call Jan!
the video is called : Making a Rivet Driver from an Allen Key
on MacroMachines TH-cam channel.
Edit: but! seeing the video again, he does create a flat side, BUMMER! but if you got a concave in the weight block ALSO it leaves two domes. thats how I remembered it. LOL only needs some fiddeling on the sizes of different heads and the length of the rivet.
Sell the fleetline to me. You have quite a collection that's growing. I would just leave the fleetline like it is. Put the exhaust on it so that has good back pressure and don't burn the valves out of it in the cold weather. But it's not like you're driving it everyday either. Have a short piece of tuba six ready maybe two of them and Liam against the rim and hit that with sledgehammer to break the car loose. But if you're just breaking the brakes loose, then crawl underneath and get to the backside and adjust them first. There's many different ways when everybody has their opinion. Your shop turned out really nice. Glad to hear that you're using foam to crawl around on in the shop with your knees. It sneaks up on you and that's a good start. Your cab over creation looks like something from the 40s Futurama show! Or maybe even 1930s Futurama show. They had something like that where they showed the cars of tomorrow. Which of course now would be 60 to 80 years ago their future that was 10 or 15 years ahead of them. Enjoyed seeing your collection or at least this part of it
That's a beautiful Fleetline. Amazing condition for a 48.
That beeping noise usually means you've drained the booster below a safe level,they should be charged after each use chad
It only needs 6volts and that oil is thick
I’ve never seen that done with the containers before ., cutting the sides out to make one big shed . Brilliant idea . Unfortunately In New Zealand the container prices suddenly went through the roof so it makes for a rather expensive shed . Great videos you guys have . Anything with Jim in it is always entertaining .
All you would need is a 12 v. fan on to push out the condensation through a weather proof vent up high since heat isn’t an issue- ?!!
Chad
I have been using shipping containers for years and i have found that if they are kept up off the ground a bit, so that air circulates under them the condensation isn't as bad. the other is to either cut in vents or holes or small windows(that stay open). both ways cut down on condensation. I see your cars in the container garage and you made reference to condensation. I hate when people tell me things to do because i already have 999 things on my list, but i hope this helps you.
Happy New Year. Heath
oh my that's my '56. bought it when i was 16 or 17 as my first car. i tore the front seat taking it out to patch the floor. the engine was rebuilt and rebored as it smoked like a train when i bought it back '87 or '88. were did you see it before when you were younger? in hubbards when i used to drive it. its just a big pile of rust now, so sad. so many memories of driving it across the country, and through the states. its a savoy. looks lie someone ninja'd the letters and name off the fins. still has my aldershot base pass on it from when i lived in greenwood.
Man you're lucky she didn't catch fire all the fuel running down the exhaust manifold. And in your brand new shop with no fire extinguishers visible. You lucky lucky guy.
G'day Chad.! with your carby flooding like that, it's a sure sign your needle & seat are sticking. you should have done some tap tap tapping on the bowl of the carby, more often than not, this will free it up.. In saying that, the carby needs completely pulling down, cleaning jets etc, and checking the level of the float when its assembled. No doubt the NEW owner will do all this.? john, Perth, western Australia
Thats because chad is a dreamer, an a fabricator, an a builder. An in my book, that beats a mechanic any day in my book. You have to be dam good when it comes to making dreams, an visions in your mind come alive. Now days you can get any kind of motor an tranny that just drops in an runs with little to no knowledge. An that makes our builds this day in time very easy. Don't get me wrong. i remember those days of building those old 265,327,350 -- 221,260,289,, 273,318,340,360 an all those awesome big blocks but in todays hot rodding its just so easy to get one an just drop it in an go. Yea, its a but more expensive but what isn't. An the engines today have way better response an power compared to the old school set ups. An I'm a one wire dist, one wire alt, an after markets gauges kind of guy. An we still build them old school hot rods time to time. Just so much easier an faster to go with modern equipment these days. You go Chad !!!!!! 😁👍👍
Another day of car moving. Chad will figure this one out. Jolene will make another great video. Aidyn is a great assistant too
Don’t know if you read this. There’s two things you need to start an engine, you need spark, and you also need fuel. Check those two things to start off with. When you flood a car you can sit and hold the carburetor full throttle for five minutes or maybe one or two more. Then turn the key over without pulling the pedal up and keep it down floored until it starts. Once it starts, you’ll have to clear it out. If you have a problem with a sticky carburetor valve or float, it Hass to be taken apart and find out what the problem is.
Your style is like nothing else on TH-cam. Awesome work
Condensation is a killer on cars. Your containers need to breathe. Sad but it needs air movement. Cut 4 holes on the vertical ends. 2 x 4 inch in front and 2 x 4 inch in the back. Make slant roofs over the holes to keep driving rain out.. also silicone window screen over the inside holes to keep bugs out. .. keep works
Beautiful building, I think your cars would look great parked at a 15° angle. Love that Fleetline sooo much!
Your pup is adorable as heck too. 😉
Hotwheels has a black Fleetline out right now
Chad! Spray WD-40 all around the moving parts that are sticking before starting.
My advice from the first time you used that new charger, READ the INSTRUCTIONS to understand the controls. Guessing can cause problems.
Talking to you from Texas!
Chad, Just a little Ol' timer's trick when you flood a carburetor. Wait one minute (60 seconds) then press the accelerator to the floor and hold it there. Turn the key and let the car turn a few rev's. Don't release the accelerator back up unless it starts, but if it doesn't, even after you've turned off the key don't release the accelerator. Wait 15 seconds between starting attempts. Turn the car on for a couple of more rev's. If it still doesn't start, don't worry, "just don't release the accelerator", always keeping it floored to the firewall. Try to start it a couple of more times. It should start somewhere in that space in time (especially GM products). If it still doesn't start, remove the air cleaner and literally bow down into the carburetor. Go back to the key and this time you release the accelerator completely and turn the key on without depressing the accelerator. It should kick off, and if it does kick off, DO NOT touch the accelerator unless you hear it starting to stall. Give the car a good 15 seconds of free running before touching the accelerator again. Good luck.
Now where did we place that Bugatti hmmm ? New twist or new build ? Got to hand it to Chad you just never know when or what's he's up to next ! And you know what ? I'd have it no other way ! Thumbs up 👍 Chad and Jolene 👍
Good camera work Aiden, hopefully Jolene will have more time to start cars!! The car didn't flood with fuel you flooded it Chad.... Choke and a couple of pumps on the pedal, has never let me done...Happy New Year guys...
Good to see you got yourself a tractor they are a very helpful around a shop
Love your videos, Chad. Whenever you have cold or first starts like this, please have the camera on what you're doing inside the car. It would be better to watch than a beeping jump box. Plus it's neat to see what you do with the pedals and whatnot.
I know you already know this Chad but some of the viewers may not. If you pull the coil wire out of the center of the cap and hold it up near the valve cover and turn the motor over with the key on you should see it jumping spark. It comes out of the coil to shoot into the top of the rotor to be distributed to the six plugs. You can even stick an old used plug in that end of the coil wire and lay it up against the valve cover or something steel.
Chad I really appreciate the fact that you don't give up, that's rare nowadays. Good video
Hope Chad and Jolene get all their cars into the new building before winter sets in!
They left the hubcap on the ground outside
If you feel like you flooded it,hold the choke open ,by choke I mean the butterfly valve on top of carb ,hold open and hold gas pedal to the floor when you try to start it,or let it sit for 5 minutes then try again.
AWESOME NEW SHOP!
I would have got all the builds from the other building first. Glad to see the cars going in yhe new building. Jolene has many talents.
Hi, it's great to SEE Jolene in front of the camera!
I watched a video with Jay Leno driving that Bugatti that was built. I believe Jay Leno should be introduced to him at some point in time.
Didn't know Jolene can run a tractor.. Hey Ayden's back! Cool to see the Ole team working again🥳Happy New Year Guys!!!
Why do you sound surprised that she can operate the tractor?
Need to keep some starting fluid on hand. Would make them easier to start. Just my 2 cents.
Happy New Year everyone.
Happy New Year!
That's my favor truck the one u pushed out first. Its a real bad boy. Cant wait to see that one finished. Hope i can build my own truck one day like that.
I could be there all day watching you move your cars around, just love anything dealing with cars and trucks i guess that makes me a car guy LOL.
if you put some vents in the containers it will help remove and stop the condensation, i have a garage with a single skin metal roof and it was fine, i covered up the vents and it turned into a rainforest in a few days
soon as i unblocked them no condensation, other way is to insulate the roof by getting the plasma cutter out and venting it will be cheaper and quicker
Chad and Jolene you need to cut air holes in the top sides of those sea cans, or put some roof top spinning attic events a top of the containers so that can ventilate to keep accumulating moisture condemnation out☔😒💦
Keep up the good work looking forward to hearing it running 🤔
Hello up north from Michigan hopefully y'all are safe and healthy keep bringing the goods Chad and Jolion thank you for your time
You need a inline spark tester that plugs into plug wire and the other end plugs onto the spark plug. Simple test for spark.
Happy new year!!
Wow that Chevy is pretty solid.
Building looks great cant wait to see it when all the cars are in there
Got the float unstuck by beating on the front wheel with a sledge. Awesome tip.
That '48 is special since it was a streamliner for its day and fits Chads spirit. Don't sell it is my vote for nothing. Thank you, take care and Happiest New Year kids.
Happy new year
Needle valve sticking a bit.. Gotta give Chad credit for perpetual motion, the man keeps moving.. sometimes it's one step forward then two back, but eventually he gets there.
Have your mechanic friend to set the dwell on the points.correct dwell makes the old cars start easy
Was just watching, Chad you need some starter fluid spray in the carb, I would've tried that first.
And you could check for spark taking wire off a plug, put screw driver in end and hold near metal, turn over, it should show a spark, quicker than taking off cap. Take air cleaner off too.
Nice building. Good to see all the other vehicles in the building.
It’s a keeper!
If you installed a vent on each end of the sea container up top near the ceiling you would eliminate the condensation problem. The issue is because it’s not ventilated. You don’t need insulation and it will do nothing if you don’t ventilate the container.
That Chevy Fleetline is great just as it is. My grandad had a '48 Fleetline in '48, which he bought off the show room floor... with a Fulton Sunvisor on it as well.
I love those fleetlines made into low riders, set of skirts on air bags, they have the right look pretty much stock. Man I couldn’t sell that super clean example but I’m sure it will bring a premium price✌️
Bonjour Chad ....Jolene et Aiden....il faut mettre le starter et ne pas accéléré car tu ouvre les papillons du carburateur....mais la voiture en route au starter simplement et laisse la tourner avant d accéléré bonne continuation dans votre travail génial....je vous regarde tout les jours depuis la Belgique...tout mes meilleurs Voeux pour 2023
That 47 needs a new driver, and put the hubcap back on the tire before you loose it. Happy new year Chad and Jolene!
Looks like quite a few of your viewers had one of these. It was my first car when I was in high school --- got it for $15.00 , that was 1966..------- Happy New Year to you All ------ Rodney
Sorry, I don't do all those Social Media things. I saw you a year ago or so, and thought you were pretty good at building cars. In the video with you and Jolene cleaning up the Caddy -- You said -- I might be a little Rough around the edges -- So what, don't let what people have to say about your Builds bother you --- your work looks pretty good to me and above all --- " It's What you see in your mind that you create with your hands that counts." And if you are Still a Little Rough around the Edges --- You have someone Special there --- Jolene --- to trim them up --- and DON'T forget that!!!! Where were you without her? ----- keep that in mind.
So, as I said earlier --- Happy New Year to you Two --- I just watch You Tube for the People I like and for the Cars that I am into ------- Rodney
Collecting a lot of cars should be started at least once a month it's hard to keep fuel down because then the fuel goes bad really just a bunch of car collections are a pain in the ass
Great vid, love the 48 👍🙂❄
A car that cold never starts easy
Nice to see it going even in the snow
The hammer is called a dead blow
Very cool car. Worth keeping
Chad you are the greatest and so is queen jolen. I really enjoy your idle chatter while your fabrication. Exspecially when your are explaining what your doing and why, my favorite thing i often here you is we are going to whatever your doing and you say because ...that's what we going to do. Love it you and jolen keep up the great content from the Usa
Great car. Love the new shop
You guys should polish the crap out of that car and brush touch a whole bunch. It’ll probably look sweet. 10 ft rule. Lol. ❤️
What a great looking car.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Nice to see somebody else. Enjoying starting and moving cars. I'm always starting and moving my cars about. Seems to be waste of time to some. But I like it lol.
Nice seeing Aiden again
Put "Kool seal" on shipping container ceiling. Knock cobwebs off ceiling, then put the elastomeric white rubber coating (like you would use on the roof) on the ceiling with a spray gun or roll it on. It goes on just like paint. Make sure you have heat in the shop when you put it on. It should stop the sweat
i cant see in you new building if you have the full range of fire extinguishers at hand , moving these old cars around can develop fuel /gas leaks
Use jolene's Emory board to clean those points, 2 quick passes.
Glad you managed to get the car running again Chad and jolene it makes it so much easier to move it about for sure. Keep up the great work all of you 👍 👏
That's a great space!
To stop the condensation you simply have to put a simple roof on the containers. Insulating the ceiling inside will definitely not help. It will only be good for storing condensation water in the insulation respectively between.
I think you should send Aiden to mechanics School. That way you can have your own inhouse mechanic... just a thought, he's a great helper and seems like he learns fast... love the videos keep them coming... Have A Happy New Year... and the best in 2023...
whether im driving them or not i always start my vehicles being a car or truck or motorcycle at least once a month it keeps the bateeries charged and oil seals and gaskets from drying out and leaking just make sure you have good ventalation
congrats for new space,
looking good Chad
Nice bunch of cars chad and Jolene and it good to see Aidyn in the house again 👍
When you check points you want to watch the points open and close by the distributor. So you turn the engine over with cap off and watch the points to look for spark. Get what I'm saying.
With the screw driver your just looking for a spark. But you want to know if it Sparks as it spins, is really what you want to look for. I know your new at this.
I like that little tractor, it's convenient for moving cars. 😎👍
Cursed dripping condensation, it also happens to me when I put the wood away under the iron sheets...
Just a tip. If you have gas running from carb. Take a block of wood or hammer handle and tap the float bowl. A lot of times it will break loose inside.
Install whirlybirds on the containers. Will get rid of the condensation. I have one. Works great
happy new year you guys. put a roof on the containers it will stop the sweat inside the container. love your work
a trick I've
used if you not sure you getting spark you can take a jumper wire from + on battery and hook other end to the coil and you'll have spark then
Nice 48 Chevy she,s a keeper. Aidyn is a big help around the shop and queen Jolene working her magic. Well done to you all.
Another awesome adventure great to see yall doing what yall do even with snow on the ground !!! Keep being yall brother little sister and Aiden !!!! I'm cold just watching yall lol 😂
