1940 Chevy Coupe Neglected For Years. Part 1 : Running Motor.

This old car has been sitting since the mid 90s. This was daddy's dream car back in the day so I plan on making it a nice cruiser starting with a running motor.

Miss Daisy's cameos are the best.

[@JohnnieBravo1]

As an "old" retired hot rodder guy, this the best part of my Friday nights. Thanks Chad.

[@ThisNThatGarage]

👍

[@vinces8974]

I like when Miss Daisy says helloooooo everybody ! The projects are pretty cool too

[@brucejessie]

Really looking forward to this build, Chad. Sentimental builds always get me. I lost my dad 32 years ago to a heart attack at age 57. I still miss him terribly. I'm now a year older than he was when he passed. Being a believer, I'm comforted in knowing I'll see him again one day when I'm called home. You're one of my favorite channels, Chad. Keep up the great work, and may God bless you, my friend. Bruce

[@dalehartley-vd9qo]

This will another fun project to watch I don't drought for a minute that you will do your Dad proud on the car looking forward to all up coming video thanks Chad

[@richardphelan8414]

This will be a very interesting project It could be a very respectful looking car I'll hang in to see the project to completion

[@AnthonyRBlacker]

You're telling God's honest truth Chad when you say don't put it off fellas.. Boy are you right. I miss my daddy so bad, to have one more day with him I'd just about give anything. I know one day we will be reunited, that's my faith talking, but oh how do I miss my dad.. Thank you Chad.

[@stevelangston2359]

Routine maybe for you but, interesting to us! Thanks for your hard work and dedication to make good quality vids

[@keysangler247]

No Friday night blues here..Thanks for sharing John Conlee He's been working all week, he's got mental fatigue and that old couch sure looks fine All week he's been gone, she's been sitting alone slowly going out of her mind As he kicks off his shoes for the six o'clock news, she's getting all prettied up Oh she's wanting to boogie, he wants to lay there she's got the Friday night blues

[@garyinman5400]

Love that you are honoring your dad with his car, keep the shows coming how ever you want. You do more much to entertain me than a million dollar production could.

[@hannsbown439]

Your dad is watching you and he would be happy to see it on the road again good job ❤🦘👍🛻🔧 from Australia can't wait to see next week 😊 your mate

[@ThisNThatGarage]

Hello Australia! 👍

[@barryruss4042]

Hey Chad awesome to see you working on your Daddy's Chevy and the story behind it is once again really cool. I used to see the old girl sitting in the background at your place at the beginning of each episode and thought oh yeah when are we going to see that come to life, its such a cool car , and now we get to see it , awesome! Looking forward to the journey on this rebuild as well , Take care 👍👍

[@jangles1839]

Woo hoo!!! Happy Friday y'all! My thoughts and prayers that everyone has had a great week and that you have a wonderful weekend! 💙🙏🏼 You are most welcome on the vacuum Sir! It was my honor to be able to help a little. My offer for a couple spare batteries still stands! ~ Scott Definitely don't put things off with your parents. I lost my dad in 2010 and today is my first year since my mom passed. We're not promised tomorrow!

[@brooksbeuttel]

I built a '40 Pontiac coupe in the late '80s. Kept it 23 years then sold it, reluctantly. Looking forward to the rescue of your Dad's '40 Chev business coupe. Thanks, Brooks

[@DanDan-yy8sf]

That was very entertaining for me, as always. "Daddy's" certainly smiling and watching down with great anticipation over this TNT Garage episode. He's got an eye out for what you're going to do with that Offenhauser tri power but has great confidence in you that you'll make it right with what ya got. Looking forward to every new video you release. "Yes-Sir - Shore Am"... 🗽God Bless You Chad, and God Bless America 🗽

[@joecallahan3379]

Looking forward to the build, however many it takes.

[@Joe-k8h]

One of the things i really like about your channel .Don't need to hear all that cursing trash. Have a great day and incidentally and O by the way God Bless You, your Momma ,your pets and Miss Daisy. Jim from Ontario

[@MultiKelly85]

THE EPISODE I BEEN WAITING FOR! When I turned 16 my first car was a 52 Chevy coupe. I'm 39 years old and I still have that same car.

[@destry232]

This is a great project--can't wait to see the next installments! Nice to see a classic appearance of Miss Daisy at 3:45🐶

[@christophersutton2315]

Another awesome video. Me being a OTR truck driver. Your video are the best part of my Friday's.

[@tonygrimes4125]

Never a dull day 😂 I look forward to your videos every week . Keep up the great work .😎🇬🇧

[@teresawoodruff1170]

This old man is here until it's done brother. You can bet on that 😊

[@stuartfletcher2378]

Chad you are a man with respect for his Daddy , He may no longer be with you in the flesh but he sure is with you in the spirit . Work away on the coup till you get it how you want it to be , He is in that garage with you smiling at his son and I'm sure He's liking what he sees . Till next time , God Bless you and yours , Stuart in Ontario ..

[@martinsmartinsautobodyandr6740]

When I was a teen and started driving in 1984 I used to buy those Remington xt120 tires for everything. When you got them hot they were sticky for the tread pattern and wore down quickly because of being soft . They were cheap so I’d buy plenty of them

[@rhondasweeney7271]

This is so cool that you're fixing your dad's car. The memories you're going to have when you get it driving. I can hardly wait until next week to get the finishing touches done on the engine.

[@kennethsonier1766]

It's great to see you working on your dad's hot rod. The new motor seem to be clearing up a little, I'm sure you'll do your dad proud. Keep up the great work and the awesome videos Chad 👍✌️🇺🇲

[@briscoeparanormal7178]

Hey Chad I can’t say enough about your videos, I grew up on my daddy’s farm he was a old Hot Rodder and now I’m an old hot Rodder too. We build our toys with what we had, and I still do because daddy’s gone thirty years. A young person doesn’t need a ton of money, fancy tig welders, and a big new shop. Don’t get me wrong I do like those shows that do but I think it lets guys and gals think it’s the only way to do it but you show what you can do if you like us, please Like & Share use your brain. Glad your shop is up and getting dad’s project going. Thanks again Hoss, good day kind sir.

[@afrodicioortiz9472]

I want to thank you for the awesome video never seen a motor on a stand running. Does something new for me awesome. May you have a awesome week and weekend can’t wait for the next Friday to see the roaster. Get built you have a good one. Thank you.

[@Pohleece222]

Man, take it easy out there in that heat. You’re a helluva hard worker, but you ain’t no Spring chicken. I got 22 years on you, and here in Florida my car renovations are pretty much on hold. Unlike you, I’m fully retired, so I suppose I have that luxury.

[@terrencelalonde7783]

Thats the perfect project for the new shop

[@robertchryssikos1006]

Keep up the good work looking forward to seeing more

[@mikemadison2747]

I love it, it's got all kinds of character. My Dad had one, same year and everything, so this has been a treat to watch.

[@laurensmith1828]

I had a 41 in my 20's that i was fixing up and about the time i primed it and had it looking cool a guy kept stopping by and offering to buy it. Well i sold it thinking another one will come along . Here i am over 60 and just now found one but got big plans for the old girl. We must act or time will conquer. This will be interesting to see where we take these ! Thanks for inspiring me and motivating!

[@thomascornelius510]

Nice 👍. This is gonna be a good one.

[@MissWindy330]

Chad, I just had your channel pop up in 🎉 in my Utube feed. I am a female living across the country from you here in Southern California. I just had to send you a wonderful comment saying you are AMAZING! You are so fun, talented and I just love what you do. I can’t wait to retire someday and travel around the United States. Tennessee looks absolutely beautiful! I can’t wait to visit your beautiful state! Love from California 😎

[@rafaelramirez4371]

Glad to see you again this is going to be a really nice 👌 project so far you making progress you just need to get rid of the dragging projects can't wait to next week video 👍

[@garyhewett5720]

My daddy was into model railroading and some of my best memories was of us working on stuff together and helping him with building the kits. Great to see you Building this oldie back together and road worthy in the memory of your daddy. me and my brother worked on a 41 business coupe together. Will be following this series for sure.

[@HODGEPODGEDODGEGARAGE]

*Oh, that Ms. Daisy!* 🥺 Glad you could get the old engine out and the "new" engine running. Hopefully it's a simple fix on the upper end noise issue. Take care and happy wrenching Chad 🔧🔩

[@richardcobb2852]

Great video, as usual. Seen your Gravely, looks to be an early 1980’s. I still have mine and four attachments.

[@dmindi1773]

Great to see an old Chevy! I hate to say this, but I like it a lot better than Lock Jaw.... Thanks for all of your hard work. I always look forward to your next adventure!

[@lawrenceedwards6327]

Super happy to see the old Chevy get some attention! Super cool car! Can’t wait to see what you do with it.

[@kirk467]

Good to see Miss Daisy my friend, she’s a sweetheart!😊

[@ronniepapepape1629]

Good that you are rebuilding metal Chevy. Not many of them left. Enjoy the post thank you.

[@kirk467]

The back fill around your shop looks good Chad, it’s good to see you doing other jobs! Glad you got the gas tank cleaned brother! It’s great to see you getting it done for the families grand daughter and hopefully she’ll enjoy it! It’s awesome to see you working on your daddy’s CHEVY COUPE, should be a good looking ride Chad!

[@MichaelMcFearin]

I have always wanted one of these myself and with swivel bucket seats wow great idea for my chubby old self.

[@kreigwoodbury6073]

This is gonna be a fun one to watch. Love this guy I watch him every Saturday morning usually while eating breakfast lol

[@m.rogers5846]

I seem to remember "Sam Spade" driving the same car in one of Humphrey Bogart's movies. Loved the lines of the car. Anxious to see how this turns out. Never saw anyone free up a stuck drum brake the way you did. That was thinking outside the box.

[@danielbush1980]

Another great video that we all can learn from. Looking forward to seeing the progress with this one and looking forward to learning along the way.

[@hoseclampehhh]

I hear you on the hindsight. My father bought a ‘52 bel air back in ‘83 for us to work on. We never did. Even gave it away when I had a friend interested. Well after my father passed, my friend gave it back when I realized my mistake. Completed a full restoration from 2016 to 2020, finished it in time for my daughter’s grad. Wish I did the car when he could of seen it. I’ll never sell it, and we have a blast cruising when the weather is good. Looking forward to see what you do with this beauty Chad. Cheers!!

[@BenjaminKuso-op6ob]

Yes that's a long time get it done she deserves to be on road 👏

[@vishaledwards738]

Love the videos keep it up good job u work hard👊💪👍

[@user-xi7po1df6k]

Look forward to your videos every week Chad. I have learnt so much watching and listening.

[@clydepodvin5026]

Cool car. Make your dad proud 👏

[@troyfitzgerald3046]

Mate, it could be a 20 part series and we'd all be here every week! Keep up the awesome work.

[@WeeShoeyDugless]

You have a chance to do something I wish I had done as a 22 year old, Chad, and that was to put a little time and effort into keeping my dads old 1956 220S Mercedes on the road but......? Sadly it's long gone😥 Yessir, take your time with your daddies car, make it run good and make it look just the way he would've wanted it. You will be rewarded for life❤❤

[@JimsFastbackGarage]

I love this old coupe! I'm glad to see you getting to it. God bless, Chad.

[@aaronhunt1616]

It’ll be a sweet cruiser when it’s done and your dad will be looking down on it and be very proud

[@horstszibulski19]

That will be a really hot rod shortly, love the body style and the three carb intake... Thx for showing! 👍👍👍

[@bryco32]

About tripped over myself when I saw the notification for this installment of the old This N that garage. Even stopped reloading for the range day coming up to gander at ya!

[@loydhenderson6945]

Since coming across your channel , I've acually learned something about how a engine works. Your videos are awesome and funny. Keep up the good work.👍

[@reedb9039]

Your Dad had some cool vehicles.

[@stephenmalone1673]

i like ten part series, heck twenty works for me. I truly enjoy your channel. May God bless you.

[@williampritchard540]

Thank God you’re doing something with your daddy’s ride I’m looking for a 58 best game for my father

[@timothyrondo5808]

been waiting to see you get into this one, gonna be awesome series 👍

[@astravanmk2]

I would say your Pa would be proud. It’ll be a fitting tribute to him when it’s back smoking tires again.

[@garyburgess3829]

Sometimes those old engines will fool you..take care, have a great weekend.

[@user-sv9xr9ck6c]

Well I just wanted to say I’m anxious to see how this car will turn out and I know you’ll make your dad proud no matter what. I hope this motor doesn’t give you to me problems. Can’t wait to see you next week’s video.

[@caseybeckner2625]

I got faith in you Mr Chad you will get it fixed and running I don't have a single doubt about that you are this and that garage you got this

[@That70sChannel]

20 years later, or not, I'm sure you'll make him proud.

[@buckster2575]

I've been waiting on this one👍.I was 20 in 95.

[@donniepulliam9053]

Love your video usually have to wait till Saturday morning early about 5 to watch him but on the back deck drinking coffee

[@erikalbertson7483]

That's a cool old hot rod with a great history. Looking forward to the build !

[@GeorgiaRidgerunner]

Dont care how many parts this is ill watch every one of em

[@richardmoore8224]

My granddaddy had a 72 AC pickup that I wanted so bad. When he passed my grandma had to sell it because she needed the money. He was a mechanic and always helped me and my friends work on our hot rods. Love your channel because it reminds so much of him.

[@anthonywright774]

That is a cool car, reminds me of the Jr. Johnson videos when he ran moonshine at night ran out of gas and poured a couple gallons of white lightning in the tank, that's how NASCAR began.

[@johndenton5555]

This is a great video. The story with the car is also superb, you building this one will generate 2 classics, the video series, and the car itself. 👍🇺🇸😎

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent video Chad :) also Orange Truck got fix up nicely to also Dad 1940 coupe car going not bad on repairs and looking forward more videos too soon watch on too it very nice ! Like new motor exhaust mufflers so cool going put on to hopefully engine problems are easy to solve too ! Swimming Pool fix can be challenging to do agree to that Lol!

[@user-pf7gs8dd8t]

A pool is nothing but a pain in the ass to maintain and a money pit. We had ours taken out years ago, and never looked back. Well worth the expense.

[@kirk467]

Thanks for sharing Chad, good to see you brother and I’ll be waiting for the next video! Go do something but take your time brother and stay safe Chad! Prayers and good vibes brother! Kirk , Louisiana!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👌🏻👌🏻👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👋🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@testy518]

Nice to see you working on an oldie. It's almost as old as me. Keep up the good work!

[@JimsFastbackGarage]

I love this old coupe! I'm glad to see you getting it going again.

[@alecsimages1]

[@darrenhawken9766]

Great vid , sentimental restoration, built with compassion, thanks for sharing 👍💨💨

[@stuartphillips430]

[@ThisNThatGarage]

[@terrytye6497]

You are awesome and I Love watching your work. Remind me of my dad. Keep up the good work. Lockjaw is the greatest can’t wait to see more on him.

[@paulcook1275]

The only thing I hate about your videos is having to wait a week for the next one 😂but worth it 😊

[@ThisNThatGarage]

👍

[@prg900]

On Fridays, around 7pm eastern I start hitting "refresh" until I get a notification...YT is not always timely and accurate... and I'll be honest, sometimes I save it for an entertaining Saturday or Sunday morning. Thanks again for another Must Watch Friday night video! The Miss Daisy tax is always a bonus! Looking forward to pretty much any project you tackle. I don't even own a pool but would love to see your fix for it.

[@ThisNThatGarage]

Preshate it.

[@roberthinkle981]

I lost my daddy 10 years ago he always had old cars to play with

[@Tathbubs]

I work at a parts store and its nice to see someone who must walk in and know most of the parts he needs when he walks in. (probably). Love the vidyas.

[@ThisNThatGarage]

I order most online at Oreilly's and pick them up the next day.

[@wattsd12]

My dad rolled one of these 8 times in 1950 when he was 17. Came out without a scratch. Went to a junk yard and bought another frame and body and swapped the flathead he had in the wrecked one to his junk yard special. Cost him $25.

[@philiphereford5657]

Great job as always. I share this channel with everyone I know.

[@ThisNThatGarage]

👍

[@somerandomguy3868]

Everyone should know that when you say a engine is junk it really is junk, what a good girl miss daisy is

[@Oldfarmersgarage]

I’m gonna be moving down to Tennessee next year for work. Be more than happy to help ya out on the weekends with stuff. You seemed swamped. I don’t expect to get paid except with experience 😂. Took a college auto body class too so I could help paint some stuff for ya even
