    To hell with the negative commentors. Start that thing like you want to. Everyone is a damn expert behind a keyboard. I enjoy your channel because you do stuff your way and I respect that.

      I agree with Colt! Besides, the bitchy people telling you that you did it the wrong way didn’t get to get behind the wheel and drive it. I respect the way that you think things through and the vast amount of real experience that you draw from to make your decisions. Let them shut the door, shift into first and drive their keyboard. If you shorten the videos to make it look better, I will be disappointed. I admire what you do! Thanks!

      I agree with you Colt, these negative people are only jealous they are only good at picking fault . I too enjoy watching Jonathans channel because he does things his way and it works. all the best from here in the UK. Ken .

      There are a lot of know-it-alls even some people that know a lot , like musty and his 50cc Clinton.. not a 50 cc back in that day they raided that engine at 2 and 1/2 horsepower and they did not care about the CC even though it does have a displacement but it's not 50

Hell, I'm an Old Southeast Ohio Boy That Relates Big Time To The Way That You Work! Maybe The Longer It Runs The Better It Will Run. It's Ben Sitting Idle For 70 Years, Things Are Bound To Be Hanging Up. We Got A 59-AB Flathead Out Of A Car That Hadn't Ran For 30 Years In The Late 70's in The Late 70's & Brought It Back. It Had The Same Issues, Blow-by, Valves Sticking, Etc. It Came Out Of It Without Having To Tear It Down, Cause We Couldn't Afford To Tear It Down. Keep It Up !!!

  • @michaelmarrett6423
    @michaelmarrett6423 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video! Usually the people that have a bunch of negative comments about how you're doing things are doing nothing themselves, so I would just say, "I'm not perfect, but I like the way I'm doing it, better than the way you're NOT doing it." So keep up the good work! I love to see these old antique cars and trucks come to life. It gives us a little glimpse into what life was like in the old days. I'm kinda burned out on all the restomods and flashy Barrett-Jackson trailer queens. I'd like to see more of these vintage vehicles driving around like they did back in the day.

      I had an electrical fire in a starter on a 460 once which was caused by a stuck ignition switch. I didn't realise that the thing caught on fire until I tore it apart and found it completely ruined on the inside. Took me an hour to get the new starter in place since I didn't have a suitable jack to hold it up.

      Hi Mustie1.
      Good to "meet" you here again.
      Have a nice day in/at the new secret/hidden location. I had no clue that some fans had molested you at home and wanted to be welcomed in. That's a pity and a shame. But unfortunately something that happens to every celebrity. This so called price of fame is nowadays getting even more worse than in the earlier days (maybe because of social media/TH-cam etc.p.p.).
      I simply love your channel (as you might know already)! :-) ;-)

    What impressed me was how fast the Franklin moved down the road, after sitting since 1948 and just now being started up. Also the car went into reverse much more easily than I thought it would. While I've never been around a Franklin, and have not seen many cars that old, I have seen people work on a dead old car trying to bring it back. It isn't easy. You did good, and I enjoy the videos. RIP starter, now that's funny.....

      'Tits on a boar hog', great saying, I use it! BUT, forlorn, tits on a boar hog are exceedingly important. Yeah we raised hundreds of show hogs. "What in the cat hairs are they good for", you ask. Didn't think you were ever going to ask!
      Simple!!! The more tits on the breed boar, the more pigs in the litter. Yep, it is hilarious, but that is how we tripled the Poland China litter rate. Ain't life funny. I still use the saying.

    There's an old saying that goes..."Don't criticize a man till you've walked a mile in his shoes!"
    95% of the population have never even HEARD of a Franklin, let alone worked on one. You just dug in your heels and got it running after 71 years
    So There! I think Noah is doing a fine job, being kinda quiet but takin mental notes of everything. Most kids his age can't even check the oil...he'll do just fine.

      Ken Worcester I've seen his videos and I like this content, I don't judge his work, the man has even admitted to the quality of his work, in several of his videos. I can see other people's points. Jonathan's works not to my own standards on something, on others well the man is an absolute genius, and one of the hardest workers I've ever seen.
      Got to realize that Franklin is it rare find these days, it's not the same as an easy come by Ford the same age. They're not really car show, more of a museum material, people have different standards for things like that.
