    What an achievement to actually see the ‘34 running and driving. It has come a long way from being a bunch of unattached body parts and a frame to a complete car. Your hard work and determination have paid dividends. I love the sound of that engine. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

    You guys sure punched in a ton of work in a single day. Great job! I think that just speaks to how often you guys build these.

    Great job, MIke! I remember the first time I drove my built-from-scratch model T roadster on its first time around the block I sat there and cried.

    @stephenfrost2272 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Brilliant! When I think back to seeing Mike bring a pile of broken looking panels out of his garage and place them together, it just shows what's possible because, you know what, it IS a CAR now. Well done, Mike.

    Great video! Driving your "baby" for the first time is a great memory. Keep up the great work, and keep the videos coming. I enjoyed the "music" early in the video when the free T was running in the background.

    Really enjoyed this video of getting the fabriolet running! Like Mike, I also built an AV8 by not starting with an old car but just a collection of old junk Ford parts. Lots more work and time but still lots of fun with many highlights like this along the way. Big congrats to you Mike and also Matt and Steve! Great job all, and thanks for all the videos!

    Gee, I would find a 49-50 Merc flathead to put in there . My Dad had a 40 Ford back in the day, he built an early 50 Merc dual carb motor said that 40 could scream and would run really nice

  • @ddally8851

    Good start! Now you need to get the body as straight and smooth as glass. After the full under coat, you will need to apply 8 coats of hand rubbed, lipstick red enamel.

  • @garycook2355
    @garycook2355 ปีที่แล้ว

    When I first saw the car on the frame machine I thought "what a heap" but you have made amazing progress toward turning it into a righteous hot rod that runs and drives. I am an old fart and a rod that isn't finished (ie painted) is only half done. Being old school I ain't into these "rat rods" to me they just show me someone to lazy to finish the job.😎👍

  • @380.motorsports
