1929 ROADSTER PICKUP FROM JUNK PART 11 Radiator and More

[@dordor718]

Nice thing about building a car/truck from scratch is you get to put all your ideas into it...screw people that do not like it...no matter what you do someone will not like it....good job Jonathan... ..

[@stevewells625]

Hey Johnathan !! Animals are a good judge of people its like they sense your soul is good not so good. Your cat like your shadow. It trust and has no fear in your presence. Your a good person!!👍😊

[@leeroyholloway4277]

Whew.. glad to see this video. I was starting to get the shakes.

[@kevinheisinger1903]

I know, we expect a lot out these you tube guys

[@scottm.franklinnc7942]

LOL...time for an intervention? If so count me in too.😂😂

[@garymccord4277]

Enjoy these videos you seem to be just talking to me and asking my ideas on how I would do it, makes me a part of the build as a friend helping. Love the long headlights and yes I would paint the fan black to make it disappear with not needing any distraction from looking at the Buick straight 8

[@johneaston2348]

Build a hot rod from junk yard parts-“not an issue”.

[@edwardeverson7039]

Nice !

[@charlesrussell7090]

I thoroughly enjoy your programs. I have loved auto mechanics especially old stuff most of my life. I appreciate you. Keep it going!

[@waynegouin939]

Hi Jonathan. I'm not a preacher, but, brother you've got the gift. He has truly blessed you Jon. Performing the ""laying on of hands", resurrecting what others gave up for dead. Thank you, a thousand times. For the videos. P.S. that one eyed Ninja Cat is badass!

[@marcijunebug]

Wayne Gouin well said Wayne! Couldn’t agree more!

[@ChipsAndSparksGarage]

I’m trying to ween myself off of cheap Chinese parts, too. We can all make a difference.

[@leeroyholloway4277]

Absolutely. My new mission in life.

[@chriswareham]

I'd happily pay more for higher quality, but the problem is when there's only cheap, poor quality stuff available :-( Too many people just look at price and don't consider whether something's fit for purpose.

[@faerieSAALE]

it's not only cheaply manufactured - with prisoner labor, child labor, or slave labor - it is also produced by using scrap metals smelted down to rolled sheet that is of inferior quality! Many times the paints or finish products used are toxic. Who you buy from MATTERS - support 100% USA made products and AMERICAN FARMERS!

[@Okanagan48]

Chineseium pure outright CRAP. In most cases not worth the powder to blow it to hell!

[@ChipsAndSparksGarage]

@IrishStew The first thing to do, stay out of harbor freight! The sad thing is, some American labels sell imported products.

[@jwayneroberts3608]

Hi Jonathan. You say that you're not too sure what you're doing, but personally I think that you are the best constructer on KZbin, bar none!! And you're always relaxed and easygoing, and seem to never have any "issues" that would cause a lot of builders to just throw up their hands and quit!! Keep up the good work bud!!

[@georgew.morrowiii118]

The roadster pickup is looking good and you have a solid plan. I like your decision about putting on some paint. Paint doesn’t always have to be perfect.

[@daleolson7205]

The chrome fan shroud does stick out, some flat black rattle can would help blend it in.

[@lsrx101]

That cat sure loves her some Jonathan, lol. Animals are usually good judge of character. All of your projects are really interesting, but I'm liking this one a whole lot. Nice work, Jon.

[@tedbownas2748]

It looks good! I like the straight vertical radiator shell, too. I'd love to see you make a hood and louvered side panels for it. Adds a little mystery to make people's eyes pop when you open it up and show 'em what's under the hood. 😂

[@nodnostrebor4300]

Yes, to a hood. Though it needs to have some well-designed holes in it, so the engine can be seen and guessed for what it is.

[@RustyIronProjectsRIP]

Almost positive it's the only hot rod with a straight eight. I think no matter what it is going to get a second look.

[@waynegouin939]

An eye popper, for sure.

[@kennethparrott3579]

You are one of the best things I get to see each week . My wife passed away a few months a go and one of the the the things that make my days better is your productivity. Thank you very much!

[@publicclammer]

Loving every minute of these videos...and for sure I am not alone in this!!

[@RustyIronProjectsRIP]

You and over eighty thousand of us. Lol

[@waynegouin939]

I truly love Cold War Motors, but what Jonathan does is different. Building old school hot rods from mostly junk. It's amazing, and I love it. The Man is gifted when it comes to stuff.

[@marcijunebug]

“I like making ppl complain sometimes” 😆👍 Yes to the dog crap burl I think it would be perfect for it!

[@dxrflyboy]

BUSTER BROWN!

[@vet-7174]

Yeah Dog Crap Burl !! 🖒

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

👋 Hi Misses Marci. Nice to meet you here again. Will you please be so kind and tell me what "dog crap burl" means? Respectively what colour is meant by this phrase? Thanks in advance. Best regards, luck and health to all of you.

[@marcijunebug]

@@Chr.U.Cas1622 Dog crap burl is...."faux" burl wood that he did using a plastic sack and two colors of paint...I loved it but others thought it looked like "dog crap" so in typical JW fashion he ran with it and hence the name "dog crap burl" was born! I've attached the video he did it in...starting at the burl wood dash part! enjoy! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJyxmn6Ddslghac

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear Misses @@marcijunebug 👍👌👏 Thank you! Now I know. Before your kind explanation I wasn't able to see the context. English is simply not my native language. I have watched the ingenious plastic bag touching burl wood dashboard from great J.W. some weeks ago. That dash etc. looks amazing and impressive (at least for my kind of personal taste). 2) Was the video from great CWM channel helpful for making the turn signal lights for your sons fantastic bug cart? Sincerely yours.

[@richair1527]

Your knowledge and abilities never cease to amaze me Jonathan. Thank you for the great Vida.

[@nealpurdy1202]

Here's my 2 cents lol... What about building rocker panels that cover the frame when you patch bottom of body? It will give the look of channelled with out losing interior room. Also would love to see you fit some old side panels to the rpu... I just love original side panels... Either way you are doing great work! Love the proportions and stance...

[@ZippoVarga]

It may be my eyes, but the grill and radiator look slightly pitched forward. Pretty soon, you're going to have your own complete car show! I'm really enjoying all of these new projects and still anticipating updates on the older projects like the bike and drag car. Cheers my Friend! Zip~

[@scottbrooks1342]

If any one could I'm sure you could make a jw jigg an press your own grill shells. Even if was done in parts and weld it up

[@reddog6429]

Made my day , brother ! Kick ass that you can build a car out of junk while tending to your cucumbers ....... they're both gonna turn out just fine !! Love that one eyed cat too.......

[@derrillbalshaw1199]

Glad you are holding out on the height of the front, until you have every thing in place. Then you can get the height exactly how you want it. It's coming together so good. Can't believe you only had a running engine, gearbox, rusty old doors and a cowl 2 weeks ago.

[@MatthewBerginGarage]

He takes making something from nothing to new heights.

[@johnboutchia2349]

What ever you do it comes out great and it’s a learning experience, always look forward to your videos

[@georgeparker9977]

Love the idea of Burl on the engine. Very creative!

[@toonseten]

The tighter you make it without issues you know, the more it looks like you know what you're doing even if you don't. I need a quote from you every day. Nice and simple. I really enjoy your video's. Thank you very much for sharing.

[@chemxfan]

I was a little concerned when I didn't see a video yesterday - but then I figured that Jonathan was probably busy w/towing or probably gave the whole day to just working on the car. My only piece of Totally Unsolicited Advice is to paint that fan housing - the rest of the car is authentic, but that's too much chrome for me. And paint that engine however you like - if it makes sends those keyboard car builders into shock, that's ok too. You've got a "Hollywood" type Catscan now...she'll probably inspect things on her own sweet time now. And probably demand you build a trailer for her on-set. Take care out there - and #HappyMothersDay to the Mrs.!

[@andermac1]

An electric fuel pump looks like the best option, you gonna checkerboard this firewall? I love that. That big motor makes that truck.👍

[@raym3036]

Hey Jonathan, really enjoying your hot builds. You're sharing some useful, creative ideas. Body mounts, cushions, I used a hole saw to cut discs from old tires, used this to cushion other applications too. If you get the opportunity out up a row video or two. thanks!

[@brianregner5209]

Using the tire for that is genius

[@davidarnette327]

Buzzard barf knotty brown is only way to go for that valve cover!

[@davidhughes1634]

Coming along just fine,Dogcrapp Burl,sounds good & mybe do the radiator cover the same,

[@shaynelowther8893]

You can see the shine off that electric fan all the way across from the UK , you should have put a disclaimer at the start of the video to put sunglasses on now i have myself another headache LOL. PS you could always give it a colour match with the rocker tops / valve covers..............

[@oldschool6345]

Don't think I would go with burl engine parts, but hey...... let the compaints fly haha. Long headlights look good with it. Always enjoy how you work through it. Thanks for sharing

[@mjmcomputers]

I bet that fan would look better black.

[@mikec6892]

Looking good. Keep doing it your way. Thanks for sharing.

[@gljarheadj2083]

I love the coil over idea. Better cover up those plants we are having frost freeze warnings here in Tennessee and it is heading your way in a day or two. This little truck is looking better and better everytime I see it. Thank you for the videos. Stay safe. I am loving this build.

[@saskjoe1968]

I’d be interested to see quarter elliptical rear springs. The rear kick up on the frame would be a great mounting spot.

[@colerippeon3903]

What are elipctical springs? Never heard of them before and would love to know. ( i am being serious lol )

[@saskjoe1968]

As far as quarter elliptical springs picture a normal leaf spring assembly from a parallel leaf spring system. Now picture the part normally clamped to the axle getting clamped to the chassis and the free end now acting on the axle Full elliptical meant two leaf springs joined at their ends forming an oval or ellipse (like in horse drawn carts) Semi elliptical is the most popular way you see them in suspensions

[@Pohleece222]

The burl and tan will look great on the motor.

[@nrgate]

Buy a variety of peoples unloved parts. Get an old unique drive train running and season to taste. Raid junk pile with blue print and parts list in head. Start building, season with a bit of MSG and years of experience. Do some fine details and out to cruise night. Repeat. Don't stop, you inspire dreams.

[@RustyIronProjectsRIP]

LMAO....could not say it better.....can't wait to see what he cooks up next.

[@MatthewBerginGarage]

Love this beastie but I would have to paint the rad and fan black. Too much chrome.

[@notsure8041]

I think Nana runs the show. I grow cucumbers every year . This year I planted a bush type that are supposed to be space saver and they've hardly produced. Anyway, I am always amazed at the drive and skill that you put into every day !

[@freddiebates5539]

This old man being stuck at home really enjoy your videos, I like the long stance on the front end, the radiator could lean back just a hair. Another '39 or era dash will look sharp too. Old Georgia boy out!

[@garyfeltus9801]

It's looking perty Darn good. Thanks for sharing.

[@dougscott8161]

Rattle can on the fan and I like the idea of burled wood grain on the rocker cover and lifter cover. You're giving it a squared off look. God Bless, stay safe and keep these videos coming, thanks.

[@Paleoman52]

Coming together nicely! Enjoying this build a lot. Great to see all this stuff coming together to make this cool ride!

[@bigDbigDbigD]

I have never seen a guy who knows better "What they are doing" than you Johnathan.

[@rickey5353]

We just know he's gonna paint that fan shroud black. LOL.

[@KEYSTONELIGHT69]

JONATHAN YOU HAVE THE BEST CHANNEL IF EVER SEEN. YOU ARE LIKE I WAS 20 YEARS AGO, BUILDING A CAR WITH WHAT I COULD. 1972 WAS A GOOD YEAR FOR BUILDING WHAT YOU COULD WITH THE MONEY YOU HAD. IF THERES ANY THING YOU NEED [INFORMATION] YOU NEED ON PONTIAC'S FROM 64-78 ILL BE GLAD TO HELP YOU. GARYC FROM GILLETT PA.

[@kentowens2179]

Looking great! That build looks really clean! Thanks for the video!

[@macgvrs]

I look back at what you started with and I see what you have now. Amazing! I am restoring a 53' Desoto and that is a challenge. I can't imagine building something from scratch. Not sure I would have all the skills and knowledge to do that.

[@kirbyhumphrey3653]

Dog crap burl 😂 it all looks great. Save as much of that historic, iconic Henry Ford steel as possible 😀

[@70charger13]

Hi Johnathan, looks like a pickup truck now, lots of ground clearance. Those headlights look perfect, it's your car paint it whatever color you want. The cat must like your voice, he always comes around when you start talking. I'm a welder, nice welds.

[@olnamgrunt9857]

That brown halfass kustoms did that 38 Pontiac was neat

[@rogerraven6976]

Pleasant updated. I will not give any suggestions on colour since I paint everything flat black anyway. Keep it coming and god bless.

[@synthpro]

That thing is already looking really cool! Love the straight 8 setup.

[@markhensley9378]

Yeah, 3 days without a video and I can't wait to see what happens with that ole truck! It never crossed my mind as to finish building it and get all of the weight onto it before readjusting the suspension. Stay dry and thanks again for your time.

[@deanbenson6879]

Thank you for the Straight 8 update! Live your work to date, wouldn't do it differently!

[@guillermonieri4203]

The roaster pickup is looking beautiful. Thank you for sharing what you know.

[@MrPaige222]

I know it's off subject, but what is that beautiful white 4 door in the background? I'm currently working on a 1938 Cadillac, bit thaf looks a little newer. Truck is FLYING together.....looks amazing.

[@jtthill5475]

Cat scan and viewer approved. Another work of art coming together. Thanks for sharing.

[@Tiger351]

Looking good so far, keen to see how this one ends up. I must be the only one who wants to see what Nana the cat got sent in the mail lol.

[@johnrichardson4327]

catnip?

[@b.atwater3904]

Catnip and an eye patch...AARR!

[@howardkoster4026]

I always look forward to seeing your videos, seeing you create your projects. Stay well...

[@lennycraig9529]

Great Inspirational vids. I swear I can see a face in the bottom quarter of the passenger door. Looks a bit like Shakespeare with James Dean haircut. Great work.

[@Goomer]

Love the headlights.

[@jlletaw1954]

Looks good everytime l see it...wood burl engine parts - l'd never thought of that (should get some looks & comments) l'm wondering now is there anyway you can woodgrain the frame & tell em' it come off a Franklin

[@LarryDeSilva64]

Dam coal dust cucumbers who would have thought they would grow in that. Our soil here in Nevada is so alcalai that not much grows in it at all. The old '29 project is really taking shape now. A good set of leaf springs on that rear end and rear end welded in place and you at least have a roller. Thanks for sharing.

[@stex1985]

Looking good all the way around, I really like your thinking on the cheap parts.

[@cobadogeats]

not sure about the colour(s) on the motor, but I guess you can paint over it if it doesn't look good. This is going to be a cool truck when you get her done!

[@terrycole6464]

It's coming together really good it's your design doesn't matter what others want I really enjoy watching your project

[@PillarToPost77]

Slowly coming together, love the look

[@bensonsspeedshop1191]

Excellent video, Brother Jonathan!

[@philwortman8071]

Thanks for the video Jonathan!! Always enjoyable!!

[@matt59736]

Glad to see you're back. This thing is coming out awesome.when this thing is done it needs to have a mid 50s early 60s single axle camper trailer behind it.

[@danmay9728]

Coming right along sir, looking good. Be safe. Peace.🇺🇸

[@RANDALLOLOGY]

I'm loving it more and more with each video.

[@edwardmckenzie3402]

Like the idea of coil overs and leaf springs like you said. What you said about waiting to re drill the front makes complete sense. Get all that added weight on the front and you would be drilling allover again. The ones that didn't come up must have been planted in something other than coal dust.

[@jamesmcglinchey2295]

Got my dose of JW...now I can get to work!

[@cyborgbudda3374]

Yes I love how the radiator and shell is looking!

[@dbeaumontresident847]

Love the burl idea. Keeping it unique jonathan!

[@MartsGarage]

Looking good, Jon, may I offer some observations? It's a really good call not to lean the grille back. Nothing looks worse than a 32 grille leaning back. It does not want to be upright, as such, but parallel to the firewall. So body positioning, angles and height matchup all need to be considered, but to be honest, what you have now looks pretty good. Also, yes, agree strongly on the long lights. Long car, long lights. All good. The stay rods are normally 5/16. Yours are a lot longer than normal so if it were me I'd be looking at 3/8. You can turn the ends down for threading if need be. Just a thought. Keep it up, though, it's shaping up well. Mart.

[@BilgePump]

Jonathan I watched the drag car build that was fascinating. I hope to see that thing on the track someday.

[@deeXswanson]

you are building a teenage dream of mine and i really enjoy it and i to like to piss people off every now and again keep up the good work and stay safe

[@mikeycunningham2307]

Its coming along nicely amazing work Jonathan take care and stay safe see ya in the next one

[@marksmith6634]

The grill looks good straight up, have always thought the laid back one's looked stupid!

[@johnbernstein1127]

Really enjoying this build Jonathan!

[@blk77sunshn]

J.W. things are really moving along now! This whole build is worthless unless YOU are happy with it. I'm loving every new piece you add to it. Ninja sees that your having fun, so she wants to stick around and enjoy the good times too! Have fun and keep safe!

[@asteverino8569]

Cute cukes. Hey, they’re growing, so you’re doing them right so far. I know you didn’t ask but I vote to paint that chrome fan. Maybe flat black or flat brown to go with the “dog crap burl” engine parts. You keep creating and talking your way through this project great to me.

[@n1r0l]

Tan motor, Burl valve covers and lifter covers? What colors for the checker board firewall? Wood grain - faux plywood? You could put the wood spoked wheels from the Willy's on it , wood grain burl the frame, use animal hide for the upholstery, maybe marbleize granite the truck bed and just go all Fred Flintsone on this ride.

[@vet-7174]

Definitely a one off unique Hot Rod! ( elec.fan black ) Great Job again thanks !!

[@johnhansen4550]

What is tough in this situation is figuring out how much of this is the working people of China verses the government they didn't get a say in.... Our working people are definitely not dealing with a level playing field. The CCP pays for almost all the shipping for stuff coming to the States....big disadvantage to the American producer...

[@braysanborn6000]

Paint motor, .. cucumber green and body coal dust grey . We all need to stop buyin from Comm China , I'm tryin also . 🇺🇸

[@stevecr8934]

May end up putting spacers in the bottom of radiator n grill to move the bottom out some. Looks to be leaning forward Jonathan. I do like that air cleaner. really cool looking. More great work from ole Jon.

[@fantomson5035]

Thank you for continuing to push forward and post your progress.

[@IDPhotoMan]

So cool seeing you make art of of scrap metal that most would throw away.

[@johnswick4593]

I like your rat rod builds Jonathan, but I'm heart broke over the 50 Chevy sedan delivery. You were on a role, then it went away.

[@jameshicks4944]

Good video,it's like ive said before,you can look at this big bunch of different things,various different things and put them all together in your head,a garage door bottom rubber seal becomes part of a body mount,incredible,waiting for more Jonathan,thanks for the video.

[@ronbuckner8179]

Bar BQ Grills or old refrigerator shelves would be a good option to build your radiator grills out of.. Burl valve covers sound great! How about a 6" round cylinder gas tank just in front of the rear wheels, hanging just below the frame?

[@jamesbennett44]

I look forward to each and every video. Coming along. BTW, I was watching one of your other videos a 62 Pontiac with a 455. It was full of parts.. I have actually done that. It made me laugh. It was 76 dodge van. Warning this model of dodge van nearly every steering box mount is cracked.

[@justinhobart8747]

🐶💩 Doggcrapp Burl engine... oh, Jonathan you're so funny! 😹🤣😂

[@gregtice7479]

looks good so far colors sound good to me its your truck so what you want to pant it is up to you

[@willardway3037]

on the rear suspension you have the perfect set up for a 4 link with either coil springs or coil overs. I would use the 4 link over the 3 link, because of the pinion angle and better ride. even a cross leaf spring easy.

[@paulwhite9076]

Love your videos Jonathan always look forward to seeing more stay safe
