@@bluerazor7049 I LOVE that CADDY FININGAN HAS , I watch FININGAN every SUNDAY MORNING I WISH THIS CHANNEL WAS AS BIG AS *FINNEGAN'S GARAGE* *STAY TUNED* IS ANOTHER GREAT CHANNEL , IM RETIRED 😊
An old timer showed me 45 yrs ago, get a stud like that not quite red hot, Not The Block .put a wet rag around the stud base close to,but not touching the stud.meantime, take a cold wet rag chilled in the freezer. ( obviously, chill the rag from the beginning.,) wrap the cold Rag around the superhot stud and pour cold water over it. It will shrink the stud in the block hole It'll come right out.. see, the block will suck up some stud heat, then you Shrink the stud. I used this method for 40+ yrs with much success.
What a kool time capsule. I really enjoy your videos and how you rebuild existing parts rather than just throwing Chinese garbage at em. Such a cool old car
Brother, I just love the type of your content. You know a little about a lot of things and a lot about some things. Your dad fills in most of the gaps and the rest you just find out however you can. I would watch it if you were in a parking lot or a hermetically sealed clean room, as long as you work the same. Keep up the great work and have a good one!
Your dad's face said it all about the TV cable ;) I remember my dad saying that the guy who invented the automatic trans was either a madman or a genius or both. I admire anyone who can figure out how one of those magic shiftboxes works!
One of the best channels around, genuinely a pleasure to watch and am itching every week to see the next instalment. Keep up the great work. Van-Roy, Bristol UK .
When I retired a few years ago my son got me a wildfire 4 post lift. He said “Dad your to old to be crawling around on the ground “. What a game changer. I even use it to clean the wheels, bring it up to a comfortable height, don’t even have to bend over. Lol
Flux core wire works better for welding nuts on broken studs. It get alot hotter. Idk if you knew that, you probably knew that. I just thought I would pass it along. I got the t shirt on broken stud removal and prevention.
Ohh the joy and glamour of repairing a classic car. Thank you for sharing all the hard work that goes into massaging the old parts of, most other TH-camr skip right over that part, and magically it’s fixed, no sweat 👍💪🇺🇸🤗🤗
Hey Travis! To your question on what to tackle next with the Caddy: Since you've now gotten it running and driving smoothly, perhaps a budget friendly interior with the primary investment in properly reupholstered seats, to revive the absolute comfort in driving which Cadillac has always been famous for. Best from CT!
Thank you, God, that Travis did not have to take that transmission out. Also, from the drone view I saw a reflection that made me think that car would look cool copper-plated like a shiny new penny or copper gasket.
great video travis,that caddy was playing with you all the way,loved the grin on your dads face when he worked out the caddys gearbox problem,experience is key.the model a kicked you to bits that was hard work,worth it but hard.the best part of solving the problems with old cars is enjoying the drive afterwards and that good nights sleep at the end.all refreshed for the next project
Have you thought about building a shipping container shop? 2 boxes with a slab between them to put your lift up. Find some trusses to build a roof over them and close in one end. Sea containers are pretty reasonable for how much storage space you get. Just a thought.
That model A is awesome! I had a friend buy one in great shape, drove it home a couple of hundred miles. He was gonna tear it apart and make a street rod out of it. I told him that he was crazy to tear it apart. After some explaining, he decided to keep it all original, and get a fiberglass body for the street rod. I’m glad knowing that there’s still an all original model A still out there. We had that conversation back in the mid eighties
Good job Travis!! I really enjoyed this video per usual. Thanks for showing us your mistakes. We've all been there, done that. It's what makes us all smarter.
Two things are true in life, !. Nothing tears on the dotted line, and 2. Studs are going to break at the most difficult point. Good job, liked the content.
When you put out a new video it makes my week so much better. Really enjoy watching you and your old man work on old classics, cracking jokes, and shooting the breeze. Keep up the awesome work, and can't wait to see the new shop when it's up 👍
I have checked every day since your last video on this '62 Cadillac to see the next installment. As I commented previously in 1967 I owned a '62, series 62 6 window sedan and I still have my dad's 1961 series 62 6 window sedan.
Always been a big fan of the runner/driver concept!! Do the interior just enough to make it comfortable! I think a new headliner of some type and blankets with a design for seat covers! Just enough to make you feel good about crawling in and driving, and of course getting all the lights working! Between the creature comforts and patina it’s perfect!!!!
I was watching you retorque that Model A head and was thinking it's going to strip or break a stud and low and behold! luckily, you're not afraid to try and fix anything which is a big plus when you work on your own stuff. Good job!
Coming from the Doug Fir forested hills of Oregon, your neck of the woods is foreign to me, but I sure love how you and your Dad work together. Thanks! Todd the retired trucker.
I love watching the Twilight Zone movies! I’ve been watching the marathon for years now, and have Pluto TV on my devices, so I can see them whenever I want. I remember the one that your dad was talking about. Back to the task at hand. Your video about the Caddy transmission was helpful. I’m currently working on a 78 Dodge D200 that a friends dad gave me. And it has been sitting in the woods for about 15 years. I’m dealing with water in the oil, and replacing the intake gaskets, the, timing chain cover gaskets, and everything that needs to be replaced at this point. Your videos are a great inspiration to me, to get my butt in gear! 👍
You are like the Bob Vila of cars. Keep them original and show you don't need 50k in equipment to make them run. I love you FIX rather than just replace. I love watching parts get rebuilt. I like learning how the old stuff was made. For studs I use the double nut method never used a pipe wrench nice idea.
You'll get your shop buddy. This is a "real" channel. You show it all. Mistakes, victories, honest progress. I'm glad I found it. I use to watch VGG back in the day, then he got huge and kinda lost nostalgia for me. But thats the name of the game now I guess. Progress. Ol pudd'n is keeping it real still. Lol. Anyways, great channel. Great content.
Great show and you worked very hard!! Everything was interesting and not boring!! You deserve that garage with a new lift!! I actually like your show better than some of the rest. Good verbal content and explanations. Keep up the good work!
Good job getting those Model A head studs out. I’ve run into similar situations with old Farmall tractors. I just replace the ones that break and leave the rest. Tip for removing studs: pick up an old Lincoln “cracker box” stick welder if you don’t already have one. Turn it way up when welding the nut on. It’s never failed for me. The stuck welder puts out a lot more hat than a wire feed.
Wouldn’t mind seeing you paint the Cadillacs body, just the factory colours, just the old school way, keep up your excellent work and I admire your mechanical sensibilities.
Great work on the cars , simple head tighten turned into nightmare. Love the cool Cadillac nice to keep original with subtle mods .Looking forward to the next installment , thanks for sharing your adventures 👍💨💨
It’s tough using a torch in old cars caked in grease. A tip I learned from my dad who was. Pipeline welder for forty years: anytime something like that catches on fire, turn the acetylene off and use the oxygen to blow it out. I do it all the time.
I believe that the damages on the bottom were caused by a fast railroad cross! At least in Brazil we have some damages caused by this. Congrats for your great job in this project.
Hey Travis I have enjoyed your video, I love that ol model A. I would love to have one before I kick the bucket. Anyway I have been restoring an old '65 Tbird and I can feel your frustrations with some things when working on the old Caddy. Heard you mention Church, we need God to help keep our sanity with these old cars! God bless.
Great job on the trans service. I just did my 90 k3500 4x4 transmission by my self in a gravel driveway on hill no less it was a bear, waiting on new lines not paying double for them at local parts store.
4th on my 59 just slips in slowly which I thought was weird but I believe I read that that’s normal and designed fourth to seamlessly shift. Glad it’s sorted. Car looks really good and the drone footage is epic.
So good to watch this, and the memories of working on 50s and 60s cars. All basic stuff. I only watch you and Chris at NNKH. Too much faffing around on the other channels. Never seen clamps/U Bolts on a U/J before.always an enclosed end bolting to the pinion flange.
Another fantastic video of course. I would love to see you keep going with that Cadillac that's a nice car. I'm not a big model a guy myself but I can appreciate how cool it is
That dually is freakin awesome. I'm battling a 1994 GMC dually with a 6.5l diesel right now myself. It's almost impressive how poorly all of the 90's trucks were engineered. I think I see a 5.9 Cummins swap in my future, lol.
I enjoy the way you try to keep the cars that you work on as original as possible instead of trying to make a drag car out of them.
I second this 100%
Thank you we like them original
Amen and no LS swaps
You probably saw what Finnegan did to his '61, lmao.

I LOVE that CADDY FININGAN HAS , I watch FININGAN every SUNDAY MORNING
I WISH THIS CHANNEL WAS AS BIG AS *FINNEGAN'S GARAGE*
*STAY TUNED* IS ANOTHER GREAT CHANNEL , IM RETIRED 😊
I know you aren't into full restoration on your cars but I'd love to see you do some interior fix on the Caddy. It deserves to be nice.
I know, going all the way just doesn`t check the cool factor for this duo.. but Poppa would be able bitch more, I recon
I envy your relationship with your father you are a lucky guy, he is one cool dude.
Do you reside in Moosejaw? these two have a nice setup, our yard was full of miscellaneous crap that was buried under other non auto crap

Just think. The guy that bought that Model A about 100 years ago had no clue his old car would be running and driving and seen all over the world.
Finally, the 62 shifts. So glad the trans wasn't blown, looks like it drives smooth as silk now. Looking forward to more of this car. Cheers!
My heart sunk when I heard that head bolt snap. Way to persevere, Travis!
Your dad's a good teacher.😊
Be like ColdWarMotors and pour a slab and put the lift on it outside and then build the garage around it
What a kool time capsule. I really enjoy your videos and how you rebuild existing parts rather than just throwing Chinese garbage at em. Such a cool old car
I love how you work. Definitely a hard worker. You deserve that shop

I luv your dad. You're blessed to have him around, so close in proximity and to lean on his experience. Y'all make a good team.

Finally, a video with two happy endings. The Ford Model A and the '62 Caddy. Much hard work done making this one of your best videos. Keep 'em coming.

You can tell how skillful a guy is when he is working underneath a car with no ramp and he has so much patience,weldone sir👍👍👍🍺🍺🍺🇬🇧🇬🇧
I read the comments first. My heart still skipped a beat when the stud snapped. Doing great work God bless you.
Awesome video as always Travis and Rick.
Flux core wire works better for welding nuts on broken studs. It get alot hotter. Idk if you knew that, you probably knew that. I just thought I would pass it along. I got the t shirt on broken stud removal and prevention.
I love the way you won't be beat Travis.
There was some stopping moments but you kept going till you got it done.

I want to see you enjoying them

A budget friendly interior job is non-existent in my neck of the woods.

Haha chauffeuring your dad around for correctly diagnosing and repairing the trans… I love it!
LOVE your vintage washer and dryer! So cool!
Thumbs up to you and your dad. And I might add that I am amazed at your fortitude man!!
Another excellent episode! Thank you!
Great video Travis. Enjoyed watching. Love all your vintage stuff. 👍🏼👍🏼
I am from Greece and I like very much your videos!
Continue to working on cars like this.
Every projects its awesome and in a very American way!

Me too, the look on your dad's face was priceless 😂
Travis Rome wasn't built a day keep doing your thing !!!
Great video Travis. Did a whole heap of work on the 1962 Cadillac and the Model A . Always enjoy your work. Thank you for sharing. 💯👊👍
Its good you have your Dad he knows a lot ,of old things 😀
Ps. Travis , great to have a dad come to the rescue. What a dad
You do a hell of a job Travis ,that’s why machines change so much because it’s not easy to do that job,great work… I love seeing your videos….
Always good to see you and your Dad working together on these projects. Should've listened to him about hanging 80 lb. drum by the brake hose though.
That model A needs AZ historic plate!👍👍👍
Travis , your dad came through again. What a dad. Love these videos. You are the best.
It's hard work and can be frustrating but the rewards are worth it. Keep up the good work. Enjoy the honesty when you make a mistake

Pretty up that Cadillac's interior. What a beaut!
Great work on the cars , simple head tighten turned into nightmare. Love the cool Cadillac nice to keep original with subtle mods .Looking forward to the next installment , thanks for sharing your adventures 👍💨💨
When you get to putting a building up, I can get you a steel building at cost. I live in silver city.

Lets do this folks, get them views up this man, get the shop he deserve, no want deserves to work under the dang heat and dirt
Both vehicles are really nice, great job! That Dually tow pig is going to be a great watch 👍
Great job on the trans service. I just did my 90 k3500 4x4 transmission by my self in a gravel driveway on hill no less it was a bear, waiting on new lines not paying double for them at local parts store.
When that stud broke....Maaaaan I felt that too. That's such a pain in the ass, with any bolt, but a head bolt is one of the worst for sure
Love seeing this caddy. Hope to see more of it. Good luck on the new building. I think I would have raised the roof temporary on the car port for now.
That was an epic battle. There would have been a lot more cursing in my garage! Great job and restraint.
The welding a nut to the stud works best with a stick welder. They can still break, but it’s a lot less likely.
You did a great job.
That hard work paid off on the Cad and Ford.
Nice to keep your patience with the heat and sweat of the American Southwest.
4th on my 59 just slips in slowly which I thought was weird but I believe I read that that’s normal and designed fourth to seamlessly shift. Glad it’s sorted. Car looks really good and the drone footage is epic.
Awesome work Travis a job well done ... perseverance wins I love your get r done attitude.... 👍
Thks for doing what you do. I appreciated the front end work seeing its wear and fix. Cool content really
Keep up the good work best part is they are all mechanically sound but the rest of the car never really changes 👍👍👍👍
Great catch from dad 😊
Awesome job again Travis (and Dad). Love that Twilight Zone episode. Would love to see what the restaurant looks like today
