1939 CHEVROLET MASTER 85 PULLING CUTTING WELDING

[@joshuamyers6177]

Get over it.. I love it .... good for you!!! Laughed out loud when you said that.

[@ronicard]

Exactly. Good on you for quitting smoking, Jonathan. We can put up with you having candy in your mouth. Keep up the great videos.

[@larsrodbok1285]

That is the perfect time to use that expression, rather than others blathering in front of a microphone.

[@nunyabizness199]

Them complaining and running their mouth are dumber than a sack of hammers..

[@SortedGeorgeGarage]

Same here, good for you mate 👍

[@danpayne1056]

Jonathen says if your scared dont do it! Lol! I like this guy!

[@SmartSped1984]

"I'm from West Virginia, so this is actually driver quality now." You aren't kidding.

[@Moppemannen_mattias]

Lmao 🤣

[@CreatorCade]

Yeah but most people in West Virginia aren’t driving 39 chevy’s or at least not in my neck of the woods.

[@stephenandloriyoung5716]

@@CreatorCade That's kinda sad, when you think about the possibility that they could be, if their folks had hung on to them and kept them up.

[@myavo]

I laughed out loud..

[@jamesspiker6024]

Jonathan I’am from West Virginia if you would have put a taillight on it would have better then some I have run

[@oldschool6345]

"Get over it"- haha damn strait! It is an interesting turn of events the car would get wrecked and be waiting for you all these years. Thanks for sharing

[@darrenfarr4890]

You are talented and down to earth. Your creativity is perfect for all of this antique road iron to he reborn . Loved this projects first 3 videos, looking forward to many more!

[@bvcxz47]

I started doing autobody work in 1976 , and you never fail to impress me ,my hat is off to you.

[@scottm.franklinnc7942]

I agree .. Dad had a full restoration shop and he does stuff in a day that would take us several with so called pro equipment ...sometime the high dollar stuff isn't as good as ingenuity.

[@johnccargill4665]

Love your videos, you repair rather than replace

[@CJLeTeff]

Voice sounds stronger Jonathan, way to go on stop smoking! Love the WV body puller! 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@born_again_torinos]

Jonathan, this is one of my favorite video series you have ever done. So satisfying to see that crunched quarter go away.

[@jiminycricket2230]

It looked like a hopeless mess until you worked your magic!! Great job Johnathan!! Thanks for bringing us along. 😊

[@leongraham54]

Well you made a silk purse out of a pigs ear, Keep on eating candy and enjoy the clean air and good health. God Bless you

[@richiet3490]

And we appreciate you having us Jonathan 👍🏼

[@Topper-gf8xl]

That turned out great, especially that lead form. Never would have thought of that. A plus having that spare fender piece.

[@mikejohnson5837]

The old Chevy is shaping up nicely. And if candy is helping you curve your cravings go for it. My Dad chewed gum, kept a pack in each shirt pocket. When I stopped smoking I ate everything in sight but eventually got a hold on that. It beats starting back. Hang in there Buddy!

[@KEIFabrication]

That is my favorite kind of work. I-beams, chains, bottle jacks, wooden blocks, and a wrecker winch. People who can accomplish such fantastic results with old school engineering are truly craftsmen and a lost art. Nice work!

[@jeffbowling2632]

I really enjoy watching you bring these old cars back to life

[@dbeaumontresident847]

Loving watching the restoration of this classic!

[@Maxxarcade]

It's really cool and educational watching this come back together. Sentimental projects are some of the most satisfying to work on.

[@Pohleece222]

The WV "driver quality" made me fall off my chair! Jonathan you are an automotive genius who truly thinks outside of the box, and your acerbic commentary is equal to, albeit not over the top like other auto shows. My day is not complete without watching your work. Thanks for everything you do to educate us folks out here working on various mechanical projects!

[@scottsmith3381]

Great videos thanks for sharing the 39 is looking great cant wait to see it go down the road

[@macddesignreview-make-and-4207]

“ Get over it how about that” lol too funny.

[@neilschipper3741]

Congratulations Jonathan 80 thousand subscribers! That old Chevy was just waiting for you to rescue her!

[@jamesmorrison8279]

Hi Jonathon, I suggest there are very few people who have as much knowledge as you regarding cars and practical direction. I for one hope that you dont concern yourself with answers to you tubers ignorant questions but continue your wonderfull vidieos. Am sure you like me are hurting from not smoking. Me being 63yrs. I catch trout here in New Zealand, ( fly fishing )thats why I moved here from Australia. Big rodding community here. Lots of talent. My best regards to both you and you wife. James.

[@matttaylor373]

Thanks for the videos love your work and dedication to saving the past! Thanks again!

[@edwardkodai1319]

I'm a faithful watcher. Live your old machines. Great channel.

[@CommonSenseLover]

You're such an inspiration and I enjoy the humor! So great to see these old beauties getting fixed up and back into service. That would be driver quality in New Mexico, too!

[@walthageman1758]

Jonathan, I am duly impressed with your skill, ingenuity and tenacity. I'll be grinning from ear to ear when I see the finished product.

[@fava7753]

You were born when I started my mechanics apprenticeship , worked in heavy goods autos and heavy plant , bodys , fabrication , welding , gas stick mig . Resprays , restos , if we never had a panel , we made it by hand with sheet metal did the lot over the years . everything and anything in the trade . I made it my goal to learn as much as I could . Used to have oil in my veins father always said . Always loved the old iron though , real classics , not like the crap they churn out these days . Keep saving the classics Jonathan ,your the top man for finding all these gems .

[@jaymiepobanz8801]

Wifes name and pic. Mark here. You live your life as you wish, I'm enjoying learning and thrilled to have such a great teacher. For those few of you who are nagging, this ain't Hollywood and your not a director; This is Jonathan's show!

[@Afrodizyak47]

I'm actually enjoying how you are doing this repair.. Old school and simply effective. Thumbs up from Perth Western Australia

[@57Banjoman]

We will listen to the candy any day-keep up the good work on not smoking-we want to see these videos for years to come!

[@kenswitzer4133]

As an ex-smoker, I understand and Yes Sir. Get over it. I got hold of one of the stud welders and bought a pry handle from Eastwood and it has worked great for me. Pry on the stud work with the hammer and bam! I think they sell a device to use with your MiG welder to weld the studs. The slide hammers didn’t work too well for me. I was amazed at the way your lead puller worked. Made sense and worked. This is why they say necessity is the mother of invention. It makes me feel so good when something I think of works. You put out some fun and informative videos and We want MORE!!!👍🇺🇸🤙

[@jeffryblackmon4846]

Jonathan- your talents are amazing. I appreciate your work quality and have no doubt the finished product will look simply wonderful. Congrats for the progress achieved thus far.

[@karlelliott9254]

Thanks for another great video. That’s a beautiful old pre WWII Chevrolet. We all need to know that those were state of the art then and be thankful for the wonderful, safe, fuel efficient vehicles of today. If you don’t love old cars there’s no one that can explain it to you.

[@pauldonnelly5198]

Lovely job I'm in ireland great videos

[@fastcar1957]

That crease straightened out nice. Great work.

[@Dwayne7834]

Great progress. Thanks for sharing your work on these old cars and trucks. Very enjoyable watching the video.

[@JazzStrat781]

You are doing a great job on this old Chevy! I live in NC too and currently going through an illness but would love to talk to you about buying an old car project when I get through this. Love your channel and I have learned a lot from you! Best to you and yours Jonathan!

[@macddesignreview-make-and-4207]

That’s going to be such a neat old car when you’re done with it hope it’s one you’re going to keep.

[@GlamStacheessnostalgialounge]

@@aliceshaw8265 Same, I bought my current car from the first owner who was in his mid 90s then and it was so cheap I though I'll just fix it up mechanically and sell it off. Then when I did that I thought might as well fix the body a bit, started ordering parts, etc etc, now its my daily.

[@Jddvs]

Glam Stachee : Yes, like your car, this car has a known history and his friend was the owner. No doubt that this one means more than just another project. Did you notice on a previous video that he said he would not remove the friends name tag on the instrument panel? Yeah, this one is going to be a keeper.

[@johnmccormick175]

You never cease to amaze me with your skill..looking awesome,i just love the body style of this sweet old car!

[@kenworcester4387]

Awesome work! Amazing how that crease came out the way it did. Learning a lot from you!

[@johnrw2012]

You do a great job on every thing you fix i never miss a video of yours ,,THANKS,,

[@Natures_Intentions]

Awesome work. I was born in 1975 same generation as you. Awesome to see you saving all of the classic cars I always enjoy your videos

[@kenpartytix]

I used Trident gum to quit smoking after 14 years. What I tell everyone about quitting is that it is like breaking up with someone. Sometimes you go back and forth and ultimately you have to make the decision that you no longer want them "it" in your life anymore it's tuff but if you believe you are better without them "it" you have to do whatever it takes to stay away! Love the content keep it up!

[@shadygingergarage]

This car has sparked my interest in pre-war Chevrolet's. I wish I could buy this one. I love the way it looks. Also, I'm glad you are kicking the smoking habit. Do whatever you have to do and keep up the great work. You inspire me with every video. Thank You.

[@ChristopherFryerblurb]

It is a real pleasure to hear the bounce and enthusiasm back, congratulations on your stamina. Your work or play shown is an inspiration to all bearded men working in their garden sheds, a high complement here in the U.K. Thank you and please keep on keeping on.

[@carlosmontoya8658]

Jonathan, as always, your temerity is only surpassed by your ingenuity. A pleasure to observe you brainstorming!

[@ldean-du5im]

It's amazing how much work you get done. Your a hard worker. Love the videos, thanks for making them!

[@myavo]

Very cool that you're resurrecting this forgotten derelict. Excellent work and congrats on the not smoking thing. 10 years ago for me.

[@timothynewkirk2654]

Really enjoying your repairs and explanations. Years ago at the age of 17 I took on a nasty crunch on a Corvar rear fender. No help, no guidance; just a torch and a come-a-long. Let's just say...i did get it done! ...Newk from Kentucky

[@DLink2theworld]

Your breathing is getting better from the lack of smoke. Nice job on the repair. I have been following you for a while now and very interested in all your projects. Thanks.

[@asteverino8569]

Comming along nicely. Really enjoy seeing you doing these repairs and fashioning things.

[@synthpro]

I have really enjoyed watching your progress on this car. You my friend are wizard when it comes to these vintage cars and find many uses for your wrecker.

[@1961nuffield]

This is one of the channels that I look forward to the most on you tube! Good luck with not smoking, you're doing well!

[@marcijunebug]

1961 nuffield couldn’t agree more! From building hit-miss engine out of compressors to the various “heaps” brought back to life! Love it all!

[@ussdiscovery6912]

Awesome work! I've worked in the auto body repair industry for 30 years and have seen many different techniques for pulling sheet metal but you sir have educated me get again, you have inspired me to do so much more, between you and Mustie1 my welding skills have improved dramatically! Thank you! I love making useful things from JUNK or scrap. As far as hearing you chew on candy or gum? I'd MUCH RATHER hear that than hear you smoking a cigarette, I was a smoker for a long time and yes I could tell when you had a cigarette in your mouth. And people who criticize you??? For doing something that helps you live longer??? Well like you Said they can GET OVER IT! Congrats on being a Non-Smoker!

[@fjrdriver8924]

Thanks for going to the trouble of filming your work I enjoy watching and look forward to the next episode.

[@sandee3127]

I am so glad I ran on to this channel...Your a master with this old iron

[@alanwilliamson9350]

I think you do 1 hell of a good job on everything you do, it amazes me at how much knowledge you pass along to your viewers. Love all your videos.

[@shartne]

Very nice work fitting that back together and pulling out that huge impact.

[@johnhansen4550]

Great lesson on body work......Yes! Paint the '31

[@johnhutchinson9714]

I look forward to my daily serve of classic true panel beating, fast becoming a lost art.

[@MrStan1221]

She is looking better and better everyday. Keep up the great work, we are all pulling for you.

[@georgelackey622]

You are a master at your craft! There many ways to do a job, some better, some not! Whatever works for you is the best, regardless of what anyone thinks!

[@arthursmith5409]

Your channel is turning into a show, Johnathan, that I tune into watch each week and days. Yes Sir.

[@nodnostrebor4300]

There will be people watching these videos long after we're all gone, more then than now. These videos are only going to get better with age. There's tremendous value here, Jonathan. You need to find someone on Madison Avenue to syndicate and manage rebroadcasts. Car & Driver, Popular Mechanics or Field and Stream, some one of these outfits, or another, will pay for this content. These would make great inflight videos for the airlines. You should be a millionaire by now, Jonathan. Delegate the project, and maybe put the wife to work finding the right promoter and publishing/business manager. There are people all over the world, in Japan, India and China watching these videos right now. Talk about opportunity...

[@johnapel2856]

It's looking good! Amazing transformation. Learning a lot about the process. Thanks!

[@daniellarrivee6510]

An image is worth a thousand WORDS Thanks JON !!!!

[@jameshicks4944]

You are doing a really good job in my opinion,i enjoy watching you fix these old cars,i never get tired of it,good video,waiting for more.

[@berniekrukkert7010]

Jonathon your patience and knowlege is amazing !!!!

[@dougwiest9318]

"Get over it" that's perfect!!! Hey, when I quit smoking I always had a big pack of doublemint sugarless gum layin around & I'm not a person to chew gum, at all! I chewed til my jaws hurt, but kept it up, took quite a few months before I was gum-free, haven't touched a stick since 1995. The really good news was that it also cured a problem I'd had to go to doctors for, that was acid reflux, the proper name. It was acute indigestion, didn't matter what I ate, thought I had a giant ulcer. After the gum treatment, no more ulcer symptoms, & I didn't gain weight, no more coughing for 1/2 an hour after those first two smokes, that was great, life is good, gotta keep healthy for those grand kiddies ya know! Probably take around 8-12 months before the brain quits thinkin about them if your jaws don't fall off. GOOD LUCK! Been on your channel long time now, big time. I'm a 55 year old auto restoration/shop owner, still poundin on em, love your channel.

[@74howell]

Great metalwork I know it’s not easy but well worth getting these great cars back on the road.

[@chevyfan82]

I wouldn't give the complainers a second thought, you are living the life doing what you want and saving cool old iron. The chevy is looking good can't wait to see the next video!

[@andrewlyons9188]

II am so glad you quit smoking. I am also quitting. It is difficult . So don't worry about what other people say..

[@kimchipig]

Andrew, the only thing I can say is keep at it. When a crisis comes, do something else. I used to chew ice cubes in the summer. After two weeks it's much easier and you will start feeling better. At two months you will no longer have cravings but you must avoid situations with smokers around. After two years, you'll think it's disgusting.

[@restwetq]

Looking awesome Jonathan!! Love watching you work your magic.

[@xozindustries7451]

Great job, I’m glad to hear you’re not smoking still, it’s great seeing the frequent videos

[@jewishman2687]

Nice job. Thanks for allowing me to watch. I'm really enjoying this Chevy. I have a couple of late forties Buicks, but my want is to have another car with running boards before I die. watching you put this one together gives me hope.

[@garthsheane2440]

You are a great narrator, Jonathan. I'm a west coast Canadian with sketchy hearing, and I can understand West Virginian "accent" just fine. So glad you don't add music.

[@angelonicassio7131]

I don't have years of experience but it's a great accomplishment and you inspire me to do a project like this. Great work and great video!

[@Jddvs]

Who needs a frame pulling rack when you have a tow truck and a couple of 4x4s? I love it when you improvise with good ole “southern technology” to accomplish your goal without expensive tools. You will have that old Chevy looking pretty straight when you are done!

[@guillermonieri4203]

It is awesome that you are putting this old car on the road. If that is all you do, it is great. If you sell it, the next owner will make it look pretty, but w/o you putting it on the road, there would not be a next owner. Thank you very much.

[@hoppy1955]

[@callmenortnortin467]

Awesome old school body work! Enjoy you putting your skills to work. Always look forward to see what you are up to next.

[@rpmunlimited397]

Looking good. In our old shop we put some tie down points in the floor and with a comalong , a chain fall and blocks of wood its amazing how you can pull bends back out. We did it with two pine trees in our back yard when we were teenagers. Keep up the good work

[@raymondsprengelmeyer1278]

I love your work Jonathan! I quit smoking 30 years ago, I was a 4 pack a day smoker so I know what you are going through. You think the way I do!

[@jamesb.9155]

An amazing amount of hard work! I think most people who smoked but quit, never even think about a cigarette anymore. So you'll just have to get over it!

[@RANDALLOLOGY]

You amaze me on your techniques. Who need an expensive frame and fender straightening machine when you have a rollback and a 6 / 6 piece of lumber. AWSOME!

[@pappabob29]

Nice work !! Very clever and ingenious !!! The truck bed with all it's attachment points and he winch sure makes a nice fixture for putting a little "nudge" on things. Kinda like a large "bench vise" !!

[@jimgray5350]

I would really love to have this car . Being a disabled vet . And on a low income . I could never afford it

[@armitage1950]

Jim Gray I don’t know what your budget would be, but the market on these old cars ain’t very high these days. A 49-54 Plymouth, Dodge or DeSoto sedan only brings 3-5000 for a nice driver with little work required. Deals are out there!

[@rogergoodman8665]

You turn coal into diamond's on every episode! Definitely my favorite channel on you tube!

[@awkwarddude]

Looks great, good straightening job and panel replacement. Huge improvement over what it was when you brought it in. I enjoy watching it take its proper shape and fit at the hands of a craftsman who loves his work! Carry on, Jonathan!
