When I drug home my Model T carcass, I didn't get a free squirrel. I feel cheated now..
With that squirrel gone, you’ll probably notice a significant reduction in power
🤣
👍👌👏😁😁😁
Where's his cage that he runs in to make it go?
Every garage needs a shop squirrel!
The taiIgate still works. I'd restore it.
Nice unit, gentlemen! Rare to find a "Touring Roadster Sedan Pickup" nowadays; most of the good ones have been squirreled away...
Ha ha ha , I see what you did there . You'd have to be nuts not to .
Did you see the nuts on that squirrel 🐿️
That box is in exceptional shape. cool...All she needs is some love...and some attention and she'll be a cool looking jalopy.
Don't let that squirrel get away! I'm pretty sure he is an integral part of the drive train of that vehicle!
7:48 in this video. A time that will go down in infamy.
You have all the bits and pieces to build a VERY cool shop truck / parts hopper. That rig deserves a better fate than yard art or chopped parts at a swap meet. What an incredible grab, fellas! Nothing elaborate - just a straightforward, efficient build that gets this baby rolling. Squirrel sold separately.
This takes me back to 1992 when I bought my 1927 Chevy 1/4 ton flat deck at a garage sale in Wetaskiwin, purchase price was a hefty $150.00. I bought a radiator and shell at the Red Deer swap meet. My plans were to put a Chevette diesel in it but you know how plans go. I sold it for a 200% profit 2 years later.
When I retire from the auto parts business after 35+ years, I want a parts counter like yours!!! What am I nuts!!! 😨😨😨
coldwar motors brought me here ❤
...all kidding aside, I'd like to congratulate you both on your choice of shop pet.
Farmers were great for never throwing anything away and making do with what they had. I've seen several of these conglomerations over the years. A lot of times a four door sedan would get it in the middle and then turned into a cab for a pickup or flat bed truck to use on the farm.
Cool find! Somebody spent some time cobbling that together back in the day haha. Based on the bodyline on the 1/4 they hacked up a roadster to make that cab. Somewhere in a tree line or buried at a farm dump there's the back half of a roadster.
What a sweet little shop truck, please get it running! Also 07:48 on slow motion for the squirrel.
OOOOOOOHHHHHH NNNNNOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
I noticed after you guys found the squirrel that Matt didn't drop the stick that he had. Every shop needs a pet.
I like crispy tires.Say hello to "Rod the Rodent". He likes crispy wires. Thanks for a Great show guys.
In the southern states, they refer to an old car delivering a squirrel as "Goober Eats".
That is the ideal project for Kyle guys, split damaged fenders...Kyles favourite thing to fix...and save.
I’d love to see this thing a roadster again, But to each their own enjoy the project I’m glad it was saved
Would be great to get this one the road with as little work as possible, keeping all the old aplicing,welding and repears etc visible. a bit of burned linseed oil against further rust, a great testimony of 90 years of history . Just preserve and drive
Yeh, I second that - the thing that makes this car great is that its such a mess. Put it back together its a real piece of working class history!
Honesty I think this is more interesting than many of the pristine factory restored cars, as its unique!
It would be a great place to use all the parts that are too far gone for nice cars
@@palousemoto4927 Yeh for sure! :) And one more Model A still exists!
Squirrel needs a new home now! Or maybe it's just found one!
I About Threw My Phone When That Little Feller Came Flyin Outta There...
Rebuilt B motor, minimal bodywork, ragtop with slotted pipework and bows, leave the A's story with its braces, rivets, gas welding, rear window blind, timber etc THE ultimate shop truck with your motif on the doors, squirrel mascot even the grain mill fits ... I'll have the T shirt with this A and "Woah squirrel, jeez blue" on the back, Oh yeah.
A squirrel what the heck! Hiding in there the whole time! 🤭
Squirrel! Chevy Chase Christmas vacation. Hilarious.
The squirrel could serve as Strong’s equivalent of Frankers; a readily identifiable and welcoming icon.
On motorcycles, red dot on tire is supposed to line up with air valve.
Restore it Jim and Matt! Will be great for the channel 👍!
The squirrel startled me! Lol!
What a bargain! In addition to all the parts you even got a new shop squirrel. You should name him Chuey, haha.
What a great find! Would love to see you get her going, best to you both 👍
What a neat car! All you need is a windshield post, a roof, tire tubes and a couple of door handles, and you're all set
I'm sure there's something that can be done with it. Surprising what survives all these years.
of course there was a squirrel, creature comforts after all
You didnt loose a finger...you gained a shop squirrel...
🚬🐕
Well now you have a shop mascot
" A little Fresh to be a hat..." 😁😁
looks like it would make a nice shop truck
👍👌👏 I bet that this DIY pickup truck will be named "Squirrel" from now on.
Just a lick and a promise and you’ll have this up and running in no time!😊 The squirrel will be the new garage mascot.
Oh Yah, we love Robertson screws, ey.
The squirrel can be the mascot! Great old Ford. Maybe it can be saved. Good show guys, keep up the good work. Cheers from Ohio.
Squirrel!
Looking forward to seeing all you do for this build 😀
Squirrel! Lol… thats hilarious! Great video.
Transporting squirrels without a license👍
Cool find, many good parts there. Interesting new shop pet you guys have there
Expect to hear from the squirrel’s lawyer.
Good find guys!!! I like what your doing with this channel 😏
You must capture Rocky and return him to his natural habitat. Otherwise Officer Bulwinkle will be knocking on your door.
That farm truck is a work of art! To good to part it out!
What a treasure! They just do'nt make them like they used to. I would leave all the handywork and get it driving as much like that as possible. Those will all be gone soon.
Great video.As he was unchaining the tailgate I was thinking "Dzus fasteners"
Necessity is the mother of invention. The owner(s) of this vehicle didn't go down to their local Ford store and order a new truck when they needed one. They made it from what they had and what they could scrounge up; infinitely more resourceful than many who came after them. Glad you kept this out of the scrap yard if for nothing else than documenting how it was made and what it was made from. Had a flashback to National Lampoon's "Christmas Vacation" when one of you screamed "SQUIRREL!!!" as it made its Strong's Garage debut and flashed out of the camera frame. Chevy Chase has nothing on you guys.
No squirrels where harmed in making of this movie
Shop truck!
Ur new shop mascot. Good luck getting it to hit the road.
"SQUIRREL!" too too funny!
You guys just made my week! Funny, informative and entertaining 😄 👍 Well done, very well done!!
Looks like Strong's Garage has a new mascot. Cool little automobile. I have always enjoyed, especially on the older vehicles, the ingenuity, despite execution, shown by those before us.
...yeah, we can get a lot of good parts off of this and ..SQUIRREL! Eeeeeeeeeek!
Wonderful video, you should restore the truck in line with the modifications already made, a sort of Beverly Hillbillies rig complete with the squirrel. Seriously, this would make good TH-cam series and if you could encourage other popular TH-cam types to offer advice and comments you could push your subscribers way up. Keep up the good work
excellent find
What I want is a 32 Ford 4 door sedan if they even built one,as I have never scene one and I am 70 years old and I have scene a 33 and a 34.I would love to own one.
You guys are hilarious! Like an episode of The Bob and Doug McKenzie Show! Hey dog, go fetch the squirrel, eh.
Just leave a little bowl of Squirrel snacks out in the shop. Beer Nuts are good, He'll need water so bad, he'll leave.
annnmddd you now have a shop squirrel 🐿️😅
Cool find. And now you have a mascot.
And a free squirrel...where can you beat a deal like that? Will Rocky be your new shop mascot? I've watched that part three times and it's still funny. "Squirrel !!"
Cool find with Rocky the shop truck pet!
Cool find, Jim handled the squirrel bail out like a pro! No swinging wrenches or chucking anything at it, good job!
Winter Beater Challenge!
"Jeezuz LOU!" hee hee
Dam that’s nice you just don’t see old trucks but especially the Chevy trucks 1918 to 27 the earlier the better which someone would find one and redo it so we could see it hopefully we see the progress on your find
..looks like your squirrel buddy was reluctant to leave his home.....I'd name him Dean....
That would make a great period shop truck. A little rough but the history is all there. I would love to see what you guys can do with it. Great find and get furry friend out of there before he fouls up your cool shop.
Cool old machine. Be great to see it running as is. Finish the roof off with the tubing you can stretch black vinyl around it. Looking forward to the build.
Bullwinkle may be still hiding under that seat, and you have a squirrel tail for the antenna, like they did back in the day. But there’s a pick up somewhere that would gladly exchange boxes with you for one that is more appropriate for the condition of your truck!
Reminds you of that Johnny Cash song One Piece At A Time. Now y'all have a mascot for the shop, Rocky.
Probably a fordor sedan and they moved the rear window panel to the drivers seat. Owned T's myself and had an original 1925 roadster pick up (US production) but many were sedans that had been converted. Great shop you guys have.
A whole lotta work... 🇬🇧👍
Could build a shop truck like Iron Trap Garage...
Time to go squirrel hunting .
Life was a whole lot different back in the 30s and 40s....
Greetings from Virginia. Hey, that looked like one of the pesky Virginia squirrels that drives me nuts. He bought a ticket recently for the 'Gateway to the North". Hmmm. Great content, guys. Checking every day for the next vid.
Awesome boys
Just work away quietly at fixing it up, put lube down the spark plug holes for a few days, the body is rough but it is repairable, these vehicles are becoming MUCH more popular to do up try to keep it original where possible.
Rust converter and matte clear and she's ready for the road, lol.
Cool
Irontrap garage will be interested
Nice tail gate 😂
It's all ready for a Honda "K' swap and a 5 spd. Go out and drift that beast ! I'm kidding of course,but can you just see this drifting? A "Tire burn off' rally?It really looks like it's ready for a 'stage 2 clean'.I'd oil it,and get it rolling.Screw "The Beverly Hillbillies",you can be the "Crazy Canooks" while you tool into town for parts and chips.
Are you going to build a large cage for the shop watch squirrel. GREAT SHOW INFORMATIVE AND FUNNY
I bet it will run!
I would get it running and drive it.
Some parts worth selling. I paid $600 for a bed and tailgate. $1300 for a roadster cowl and doors.radiator shell looks ok. Enjoy
Robertson screws are the only screws to use.
A little Flex Seal and that tire can be rejuvenated to like new condition.
That cool garbage can you should fill it with bolts and screws and washers and nuts I had one like that wait a ton of tip it over all over the floor and look fo rbolts how stupid was that have a great day
