Your loss is profound but you have a plethora of great friends, youtube viewers included, that are ready to support you and Strong’s Garage!
sorry for your loss Jim moms are the worst to lose
My mom is in her 80’s and still going strong. She may out-live me. But we don’t last forever, and I’ll be heartbroken when she’s gone. My condolences to you, Jim.
Those tools and parts just may be priceless. Great find and perfect for your shop.
Back in 1975 my older brother was made the manager of an old auto parts store in Peoria Illinois that was just taken over by a national chain. I worked part time helping catalog some of the stacks of old inventory going back to the 1920's. rebuilt carbs, water pumps, fuel pumps and so on. The place had been a Hudson dealer ship up until the 1940's also so there was a huge pile of old collision damaged body parts in the basement, mostly 20 & 30's stuff. The second floor had been the old body shop complete with a wood and steel car elevator but the second floor had literally tons of new/old parts and accessories on the floor and in racks. It was like opening a time capsule. At the time I was working on a 1934 Plymouth PE four door sedan and was able to source a fuel pump and starter for it there. once the word got out they had all kinds of collectors and restorers calling and showing up to look for stuff like fender skirts for a '61 Chevy, I know because they had a huge pile of skirts but more importantly there was a catalog with them. Fun times for sure!
All you blokes, including Scott and the rest of the crew, are like our cool and crazy cousins, and watching your vids is like a tonic. As part of your YT family, I think we share your loss, Jim.
Sorry to hear about your loss Jim. Super happy to see you both back in the shop! You are one of my fav channels on the tube and I sure missed the updates from the garage!
Heart felt condolences at your loss, there's always a thousand things to do that must be attended to. nice to see your grown tool collection A lot of antiques get lost in the shuffle of life and don't get preserved.
For a long time, tools were handed down from father to son. It really isn't until you get to the post war era where tools start to become quasi throw-away items. It would not surprise me in the least if a 19th century man had a workshop full of tools his grandfather owned and used.
Very true. Tools used to be valued in terms of what they made you capable of. In the 50's son's seldom thought about selling dads tools if they were passed down to him. Even if he doubted he would ever use some of them - he kept them because you just never know. Now it seems the family just wants to cash out, They see them as useless to them and take whatever they can get quick.
Glad you're back. The loss of a family member definitely supersedes a TH-cam video. Sorry for your loss.
Good to see you guys again. Jim, sorry to hear about your mom. Never an easy thing to go through.
Sorry to hear about your loss Jim… Cool old tools!
My sincerest condolences about your Mom. Glad to have you back.
My deepest sympathies Jim... The important thing is that you were there for her and I'm quite sure she was very proud of you! May fond memories support you during this time.
P.S.: shop looks great!
Wonderful to see these 70 year old tools and parts rescued and preserved. Great work, Gentlemen.
Jim sorry to here about your mother. Peace and comfort for you and your family. Love the old tools. Y'all's shop is like an automotive time capsule.
Those wooden crates are great. I have a bunch of them nailed to the rafters around the perimeter of my basement. They make great shelves. They shipped everything in these crates. I have one that has peaches on it and the name of a fruit company. They were my fathers. He is the one who put the idea in my head of making them into ceiling shelves in the basement. Though the ones I have are much lighter than the one in the video that has been "hotrodded"
Very sorry for your loss. It's great to see you back though. You guys have such a fascinating shop, love what you're doing.
Jim, This Mothers Day will be tough for you. Sorry for your loss. The relief instead of grief that I received when my Mom Passed was that she no longer was in constant pain. Carry forth her teachings and in that way you preserve her forever.
Your antique find and show and tell is terrific. All of man's history shows through the tools and methods. My Uncle who ran a shop in the 40's and early 50's used grease on all parts of a car when he repainted them. Taping was yet to come along. Then he would come along after the paint dried and used old newspaper tho wipe off the painted grease. Just a different way back then that worked fairly well.
Enjoyed your video. Rich
Sorry about your Mom. Love the old stuff and you guys are great curators of a by gone era . Thanks
Watching with my husband who is a mechanic. I'll ask, what's that? And he gets excited telling me about it. I may not understand but I'm definitely impressed. Thanks for the history lesson!
May I add my condolences.
And at 12:58, we used to call this tool an Oil Ring Expander when I was a mechanic back in the early '70s. We could use regular plier type expanders with the compression rings, but this tool would expand the thin side rings on the oil ring without them twisting and without scratching the pistons if you were to simply set the first end in the oil ring groove and spiral the rest of the side ring around the piston into place.
Your shop makes me so nostalgic! Thanks for the memories.
My sympathy for the loss of your Mom, Jim. Mine was my best friend-I miss her so much-prayers----
Sorry to hear about you loss Jim. My mother passed away in 2018. The shop and tools look great.
One of the tools you showed was for putting in valve keepers. The one before the piston ring spreader.
Usually spin off channels whether it be on TV or on TH-cam never live up to expectations. It is great to see that your channel is becoming a very top notch channel. Between Scott ,Dean , Frankers and you Jim on Coldwarmotors, this is another channel I can't wait to see when they come on. As a lifelong mechanic myself as my day job, I find your stories close to home most of the time. I have owned my own shop most of my life. And have older tools not used anymore but still respect the history.
I'm very sorry for your loss, Jim. I hope your family is ok.
Jim, my sincere condolences for your family’s loss. Thanks for the entertaining show-and-tell. Until next time.
So sorry for your loss, my deepest sympathy. What a wonderful collection of usable early Ford tools.
Very sorry to learn of your loss. Please accept our most sincere condolences - Jim & BethRoberts, Hopkinsville, KY
You have a wealth of tools there! That oscillating valve lapper brought back memories - I can hear the valve ssh-sssh ... ssh-sssh'ing. Be sure to take off the cover and oil up the drive VERY well, and it'll last for you. Oh! Seat reamers 😎
Thanks for coming back with fine content. You were missed. Again, very sorry for your loss.
Sorry about your loss. I lost my mom last October
Sorry for your loss Jim you two have got a priceless collection there. If those tools could talk imagine the stories they could tell.
Sorry for your loss Jim! I appreciate those old tools aswell. I used to work in a small town garage in saskatchewan and it used to be a IH dealership and had lots of neat stuff like that from 100 years ago aswell! Great to see. Thanks guys.
Jim, that is a tough loss but we are pulling for you and your family. Your even temper and constant good humor are a blessing to all of us! You and Matt enjoy all of the new toys!
Sorry for your loss Jim.
Glad to see a new video from you guys, what a neat collection of authentic tools that will still be used by Strong’s Garage.
Sorry for your loss Jim.
Congratulations, on the other hand, to both of you. Incredible show, the tools are so incredible, and have went to great stewards
Another TH-cam channel you might check out, if you haven't already is Iron Trap Garage. They are a channel for old hot rods, but they have a lot of FORD parts from many of the car years you work on.
Sorry for your loss Jim...
Cool haul of tools!
I was out at Scott's last Sunday with my Rover P5, met a few agents, hopefully I'll meet you guys too.
Pretty cool stuff and things.
Sorry for your loss Jim. Always hard to lose a loved one just have to remember all the good times. Speaking of good times wow what a score. That is great to get all those tools made just for what you are doing there. It is amazing the things they came up with back then.
I'm Sorry for you loss Jim.
I love all of the old tools, boxes and cabinets.
But wouldn't know what 90% of the tools were for. 🤷🏼♂️
So glad you got this cache of treasure.
I appreciate what a good home they found.
My condolences, Jim. 💐
My Condolences to you Jim. Glad your boys are back
It's a rite of passage to have to say goodbye to our parents. Hate to hear you had to. There really isn't much that equates to losing your parents... it's normal and expected - but at the same time it's not.
It's amazing to me these caches of tools can still be found decades and sometimes a century later. They seem to be in as good a set of hands as there could be. Thanks for sharing.
You and yours are in our prayers Jim...
Old tools! So cool to see. It’s amazing to see how well they have held up. Sorry for your loss Jim.
Sorry to hear about your mom,may she rest in peace
strongs garage and coldwarmotors are the best on you tube
sorry to hear about your mother. ...it's hard.
I bought my boss's Snowmobile later ATV shop. He sold Scorpions, Arctic Cats and Ski- doo. When he was ready to retire. When we were packing up the old shop to move to my place. We found all sorts of old tools he had forgot about over the years. I put most of them to use when needed. Thanks for the good memories of my mentor. Glad all the stuff you found is going to get a second life.
Sorry for your loss Jim.
I totally send my condolences about your mother especially mother's Day around the corner I lost my mom 4 years ago tomorrow on mother's Day and it never gets easier each year all I can do is remember the good times and celebrate the good times. An absolutely love the channel I'm glad you started a channel what you guys do there is amazing and it's great that you're showing other people and by the way I used to make model a model t radiator from scratch using original tooling from the factory and there's nothing cooler than vintage tools.
I sure am sorry about your mom Jim. Best to you both, really love your channel 👍
Condolences, Jim, on the loss of your mother, glad to see the two of you back.👍
Jim sorry for your loss.
I wish I lived close to you I would happily volunteer to sort through and clean as much of those old tools as I could, there’s nothing like the touch and smell of old tools, I’m very jealous of your boxes of history 😊 happy hunting and cleaning 😊👍🦖🗿🦤🦑😻🏴
So sorry for your loss Jim. Take care

Sincere condolences to you, Jim.
I've watched this several times and I keep seeing new things, it's great! Thank you.
I am so sorry for your loss, Jim. Our condolences to you and your family.
Sorry to hear of Jim's mother passing, its always hard even when we know its coming. Great find on the old tool score, i bet the original owners are really glad you guys are going to use these tools rather than having them wind up in a scrap pile.
So sorry for your loss Jim.
Sorry for your loss guys. Awesome treasure trove of old tools. Glad to see they've landed in hands that will appreciate and care for them well into the future!
Sorry to hear about your mother, Jim.
So glad you are back. Sincerest condolences for you, Jim, and your family. Such a great treasure of tools to authenticate your garage. Such a lucky find. Continue the success of the program and the garage. We truly enjoy it. God bless. Cheers from Ohio
My condolences for your loss, Jim. Glad to see you both back. The counter paint job is spectacular! Just an utterly incredible haul of automotive artifacts that border on the spiritual. I, for one, think that the flatty you got is the single greatest crate engine unveiling I've ever seen. Would LOVE to see the both of you tear into it and make a determination as to whether it can be rescued or not. Happy trails, Fellas, wishing your both many more great finds. Look forward to the next episode!
Jim, so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. It’s nice to see you guys back!
Sorry to hear about your loss Jim really enjoy watching your videos
So sorry to hear about your loss Jim
Love the original parts cabinet! With NOS parts ! And the work table. It’s great to continue using them !
I think that Jack with the bar's the end's look like you would use chain and stretch frame's or body supports, I think, don't know for sure, if you go back and look on the floor there may be places where they bolt frame's to floors, all the best to you all and your loved ones
A great episode guys. Condolences to you Jim, sorry to hear about your Mom. If you can, everyone should call their Mom and tell her how much she means.
Condolences Jim on your loss. Going through the same with my Mom although she's still fighting at 95. Cheers mate.🇨🇦
I'll bet that oak cabinet was originally used to hold lead type in a newspaper office.
Nice to have you fellas back. Sorry to hear about you Mom, Jim.
That is some gold you guys got. Very cool.
Condolences Jim to you and your family. You're absolutely right about priorities. Be well and keep entertaining us with this great content.
Condolences to you and the family, Jim. Sorry to hear about your mother's passing.
What an amazing treasure trove of factory service tools! Wow. You're going to really enjoy continuing the legacy of those gems. So glad I found you guys' channel. - a fan from Texas
Good to see you back.Absolutely delightful episode.Thanks so much for sharing your stash.
Condolences Jim, and thanks guys for sharing your experiences, thoroughly enjoyable. I like the look of the red 40 coupe in the background and would like to see more of it.
Sorry about your mom Jim, glad to see you guys back. Cool stuff with the old Ford parts/tools.
Sorry to hear of Your loss Jim. Love old Car's and old stuff. 😎👌
Fantastic tour of your acquisitions.I could look at old tools like this all day It's good to know that these things will not be in a landfill somewhere, rusting and lost to history. Jim's crack about the mouse "milling system" was a hoot.
This is cool stuff. There was a service station in my small SK town where they just "downed tools" sometime in the early sixties, but the building and several others around it remained in the possession of the same family. I was able to roam around in the shop once as a youngster of about 12 and look at stuff. I remember picking up and examining a valve spring compression tester. They had lots of cool tools and parts. The smell of old grease and oil and wooden workbenches remains in my memory. You guys might like the vintage vibe over at Dave Richards channel. He runs a 30's era steam powered machine shop. Sorry about your mom Jim.
I am so sorry for your loss, sir. Stay strong.
I hope you clean it all so it looks New !
No
Glad your back and on good health. The tools are a very neat thing most people would not even imagine how people worked in the 1930s. These things tell a story, think of all the vehicles they served and how many came and went.
The horseshoe looking tool with the hex end and the big open end is a 49-53 camber /caster adjustment tool
Wow, what a treasure trove😀
My condolence. So sorry for your loss. Sure enjoyed this video. Very interesting. Thank you.
Condolences for your loss. It is a part of life that is never easy to deal with. That was some impressive haul you guys made. Lots of Luck with the tools. Let's hope they made a mistake with the block and it's OK.
The crow's foot attachment for a ratchet is, I believe, used to tighten the rearmost head bolt on a Model T. Otherwise, with the firewall/body in place, it is very difficult to tighten that bolt. Getting that bolt tight on my 1926 was a bear with normal hand tools.
