1951 STUDEBAKER FINISHING FLOORS & ROCKERS

[@rodney1818]

I don't know about anybody else but I never get tired of watching you do metal work

[@danishnative9555]

Stud E Baker. We only dream of cruising in vehicles like that now. Look at that front nose cone. Beautiful.

[@cledanmalek8345]

Johnathan, you are one of the best metal fabricators I have ever seen. Great work on that Studebaker floor!

[@AutoRestoNewb]

Beautifully clean welds on that floor pan! Been really enjoying these Studebaker vids.

[@richardfryer1279]

I love watching your work.takes me back a few years.thank you

[@vw4x4]

This is some of the best work I've seen on the WEB. Few people would take this one.... !!

[@derrickrees8895]

LOVE watching you bring this old Studebaker back to life , you are doing an amazing job !

[@barneyeckert9702]

The floor pans turned out nice, and your solution for the rocker panels was on the line of what i was thinking, Nice Job!

[@study650]

I enjoy watching you work on this Studebaker. My Aunt owned one, when I turned 16 and I took my test for my drivers license in it. I thought it was the prettest car I had ever seen.

[@aleblanc3547]

You cracked me up, JW. You did what you could with what you had to work with and that always beats doing nothing at all. Thanks, man!!

[@Frankinsteinguitar]

You present the real world of hot rodding, just like the regular guys do. No factory sponsors supplying you with pre made panels. Not every project has to be a show car. Well done sir!

[@richardwelcher4836]

Your wife has good taste! Loved your comment about people checking out your rockers!

[@erwinpierce1136]

Your'e doing a great job on that old Studebaker , it will be great to see it running and driving . Looking forward to see it go down the road for the first time . Keep up the good work .

[@phillipcortel6330]

Jonathan! You do amazing work! Use what you have. Don't short change yourself. The more that I watch you videos, listen to how you explain what,how,and why you are doing, you know what you are doing! Your different jobs you have had, the most important schooling, The School of Hard Knocks... Wish my dad was here to see this build,resurrection of this fine automobile. He had one. Many stories about the old Studie. You brought back memories of his stories...Thank you. For what you do,the videos, and the way you help people that need it.

[@ixlr8677]

hes a backyard king.

[@jeffsandler3339]

That's beautiful patch work Jonathan very nice work !!! Thanks for the inspiration !!!!

[@dhurt8955]

It’s really interesting watching how you repair the rockers and floor, keep up the great work

[@shawnmrfixitlee6478]

great bacon/welding tip .. LOL.. You sure worked wonders on that floor Jonathan .. ENJOYED !!

[@Deweyfd13]

I’m not sure how you can think anything you do might be repetitive or get boring. I don’t have the skills you do on fabrication but I watch to learn. Each video you show teaches me more and I hope to use those skills on my own projects. Keep bringing those videos for your students!!!

[@DDRighteous]

Great job on the floors. They look excellent.

[@LarryDeSilva64]

Nice job stitching up that floor and the rockers. Thanks for sharing

[@auburnfolsom]

Great job on the floors & rockers ! Not repetitive at all. Actually interesting to watch someone who has a natural knack for that kind of repair work. Sheet metal work & I never got along too well. Thanks for sharing your time, effort & for getting the progress videos out so quickly. Looking forward to the rest of the repairs & seeing the old bullet nose Studee on the road !

[@tomadkins2866]

"I found the back window, but I don't think it's salvageable". That made my evening! That little Stude is looking much better with every video. Great job on the floor pans. You have a lot of talent for a variety of things. Watching some of your earlier videos and listening to you talk, you came about it very honestly, often out of necessity. That's one of the things that I admire about you and your channel. Thanks for sharing it with me. (and everyone else, of course).

[@MrOilcountry]

Damn that Stude is a sweet ride!

[@douglasbrown8175]

Nice job on those floors Jonathan, I hope Noah is learning by watching love your videos.

[@brianyork5510]

I'd say you did a good job there Johnathon. You set a goal and met it. I'd feel some pride every time I got into the car if I were you. I Enjoyed all the videos fabricating the floors and rockers.

[@cratecruncher6687]

In the time it took me to rebuild two calipers Jonathon has expertly fabricated half a car! The amount of work you do in a day is incredible.

[@MrFREENOTFURRYJEFF]

i just like watching you work. you are a very smart, talented person. you inspire me to do great things!

[@timtate8520]

As an old guy who remembers these cars from his youth... I appreciate what you are doing to save them! You are amazing!!!!

[@slawkowegrzyn2115]

Well another fine job Well done. I really enjoy your work young man. Enjoy your videos also. Thanks for sharing your rebuilding experience with us.

[@thefordmaniac]

Repair not restore. Great saying. These metal work videos are getting me over the procrastination of the seemingly overwhelming task of trunk pan and rear quarter replacements of my 65 galaxie. I too am not buying replacement panels. Thank you sir.

[@oldschool6345]

Nice job on the ol studie. I like how you work through things. Straight forward common sense approach. I agree its never going to be a museum piece, but what you've done will save it from a scrap heap. Thanks for sharing

[@brucebyrnes5996]

The new floor looks great!

[@ronnielester2933]

Dang! Mighty fine work there! Its shapping up nice. Good work from a good ole boy.

[@braysanborn6000]

Wow ...what a difference a day makes ...floor looks much better ..Amazing !

[@johnsmart3587]

The work you do is amazing; You are a hero. Thanks.

[@ericfowler4248]

Lord I really appreciate these Studebaker videos. Since we have few in my family. Something that would really mean a lot if I could just find it a 56 president. I might just have to drive over from Dalton GA to one of your cruise-ins one day.

[@earlelfrink]

"what you do is just take their head and ye just slam it into it real hard or open the door on it and then they will quit looking" lol.

[@jeffryblackmon4846]

Glad you are using the new helmet! Good sheet metal work.

[@jameshicks4944]

Good job on that floor and rockers,you do think outside the box,a part of what makes your videos so interesting.

[@rustybottoms8859]

Dang nice job on those floors, making your own patch panels and such. You saved that one from the scrap heap. Keep up the good work.

[@phill903]

Great job of fixing the floor and rockers should last as long as you want to drive the Studebaker.

[@davidk6271]

Good work on the floor. You should be pleased. Thanks for sharing.

[@geoffturner1487]

That floor looks good. You have brought that Studebaker back from the dead. Your wife is going to enjoy that car.

[@ervingoertzen7233]

Looks great ! Almost ready for cruise nights

[@duncanfrere2656]

Rocker panel inspectors beware! lol... Good one. I laughed out loud. Fantastic job on the floors. Your philosophy in the face of so much damage of just picking a place to start and working out from there is right on. Your wife's going to enjoy driving this one! If you guys ever want to move it on after you get it on the road, I'd be interested. But then, I'm sure there are hundreds of interested buyers. Put out a call. Let us bid on it!

[@fredmaxwell9619]

Glad you got a welding helmet, so much better being safe and not hurting yourself. Absolutely love all the metal work, you make it seem so easy.

[@Christopher-fp2ks]

great job brother I love learning new things and it brings a tear to my eye to see you being able to do what you love, I'm unable to do anything anymore god bless you

[@darrellewolfe6157]

Don't worry about doing the same thing all the. You explain everything so well, I don't get bored. Love your vids. Keep up the good work.

[@williamdavidson9009]

Nice work!! Thanks again for sharing.

[@arussianasset3948]

Resourceful guy Jonathon. I envy your skills. Nice work.

[@dennisrodrigues1877]

Your level of patients and workmanship is impressive.. love watching this series from Bermuda 👍🇧🇲

[@awkwarddude]

First Class metalwork! Beautiful! 👍👍

[@larrykittell726]

Awesome video! I can't wait to see another Studebaker back on the road again.

[@fifocrew3040]

Awesome Really enjoying it. Glad you decided to do it. From Western Australia. 👍👍

[@MRrwmac]

Amazing work Jonathan!

[@ryandavis930]

Freaking amazing I'd probably spend a week on those floors and you did it in probably about what you said. 8 hours

[@tedbownas2748]

Considering what you had to start with, those floors and rockers came out looking freaking amazing. Looking forward to seeing it on the road. 👍

[@ScottandTera]

I was feeling real bad today , my depression was and did get the better of me today. But I watched this video and instantly felt like wow I could do that . You inspire me to get out in the shop and get off my but.. Thankyou for making this video cause you saved me from my self tonight

[@davemiller6893]

You don't know me but I understand how you feel. It just takes a little glimpse of light to give you that lift. I am one of Jonathons biggest fans and his positive can do attitude does inspire. So I'm glad you are feeling a little better and the black cloud has lifted just a little.Thanks Jonathon. Regards all around.

[@ScottandTera]

@@davemiller6893 thanks for the kind words, I have a long way to go before I am better. But this helps

[@thomast596]

I struggle with depression also hang in there Scott!

[@ScottandTera]

@@thomast596 I am seeking help, I tried to go this alone but did not get anywhere. Nut the struggle is very real

[@davemiller6893]

Hey Scott, Let me tell you there is lots of hope. Depression has affected me several times in my life. Believe it or not I was prescribed Prosac and although I didn't think it would work it did. The medication helped me draw breath and once again see the world as a beautiful place. One of the best things I ever heard was from a fellow sufferer who said and I quote" When you know you are depressed if you can say to yourself, "the negative thoughts I am experiencing are not real but the result of an in balance of chemicals in my brain and are not correct" and with proper help they will pass." I don't pretend to know all the answers but I know if you seek help things will get better. Your mate, Dave.

[@henryszubielski8601]

You are doing a great job! I appreciate the efforts you you make on these cars! Keep the video's coming!

[@lutemule]

That looks really good! Solid too!

[@lyerby2931]

It absolutely boggles my mind what kind of pinhead a-hole would give one of your videos a thumbs down! Your generosity of spirit absolutely trumps(no pun intended) your skills; and Brother that's saying a lot!

[@jonathanw4942]

It was the guy that was looking at my gaps on the rocker.

[@PuReNeonn]

Don't mind watching the same thing over and over. Learn something new every video. Keep up the good work man!

[@Shane-Singleton]

Have that thing looking almost like new! great job on those rockers. Especially considering how much original metal was missing. All of my projects I can get brand new replacement sheet metal for so all i'd have to do is cut and splice. No bending, fabrication, etc. Working on something that you can't just order a replacement panel for or get metal from a donor car requires a TON more skill. Again VERY nice work!

[@howardkoster4026]

Jonathan, you are REALLY moving on that Stude!!!!!! Thanks for your videos!! I can hardly wait to see this car finished! Like you said earlier, that engine started fairly easily for you. LOTS of body work, but you just waltz right thru it!!! Keep up the great work!!!

[@davidfraser4830]

you are my favorite channel and I love your videos. thanks

[@eric_seguin]

I watch these videos for a few reasons. Some I watch over. You let me worry about monotony. You just keep posting videos of what makes you happy. None of these projects are exactly alike and you seem to come up with different ideas and methods in each one. Monotony my eye. I'm learning new methods to overcome obstacles. Thank you for any video you share.

[@CallMeAdam2023]

If you sign up for a myUPS account you can see the location of the UPS truck and timeframe when they are going to deliver it, you can also sign online so they will leave the package if you aren't home.

[@billstevenson7381]

Looks like momma got a Stude. Great job on the floor panels.

[@Contantq]

Nice job preserving the floor. Its usable and strong once again.

[@dougstarkey7128]

well jw you did the impossible you both made and ruined my day. ever since you brought it in and started sorting it out I have been thinking about how much to offer you for this car. but if your little lady wants it by all means it is hers. I am amazed with how easy you made it look to rebuild the floor pan. I am no stranger to body work and shapeing and welding in repair panels, so I know how much work it is to make and install them. well looks like I have to go back to watching and waiting for you to discover another rough beauty and if it grabs my fancy I will contact you and try to make it mine. please, please ignore all the haters and critics who say that you are doing it wrong or they would do it differently, remember one thing its your car fix it how you see fit, and if they don't like it they should go else where to whine and cry. (had to retype that part three dif times to get rid of the profanity) I just really enjoy seing you save these old classics and give them back a use full life . thanks for all your hard work doug

[@IsaiahM494]

Thanks for the video Jonathan!

[@217daryl]

The car is looking good! It is not easy work doing all the floor and rockers but you are doing a fantastic job!! Love to see the old car going down the road soon hope your wife dont fall in love with it or you will have even more work to do on it! Keep up the great vids JW!

[@roygunter3244]

When I first saw it I thought the floors were past being repaired without a buying a whole replacement floor which I am sure they don't make. Now it looks like they were never rusted out, wow. I was never a fan of the body style but now at 71 I kind of like them, haven't seen one in the flesh in a long time.

[@kentowens2179]

Great job on the floors! You're going to end up with a solid old car!

[@nozmoking1]

The pan looks great. Nice work.

[@barryphillips7327]

Jonathan you are doing great work there, it looks good, keep up the good work, don,t worry about negative comments, it is your car not theirs!

[@scottm.franklinnc7942]

Looking good..thanks for your heart to save these classics. Can't save'm all but at least you saved this one.... Would you think of a full restoration down the road on it or the others you will keep.

[@DannyWalker1949]

NICE WORK, Jonathan. That IS COOL you're Wife is gonna drive this to the Cruise In.....👍🏼

[@arkyump]

You always amaze me.

[@annachrissy4874]

“I did find the rear window...I don’t think it is salvageable.” Ha ha ha!

[@KS-cp6bj]

good glass man could save it

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Well welded, Sir! ;-) Looks pretty solid to me. Thanks a lot for making taping editing uploading and sharing so much videos. Best regards luck and health to you.

[@nickjh72]

That's very nice job johnathan and definitely will keep going for a good few more years them floor repairs as always great to watch from over here in Norfolk Uk.

[@ThePookosh]

Great job on those rockers! I wish I had your metal/welding skills!

[@Lfig012]

Great repair & great vid..... thanks

[@j.c.smithprojects]

from swiss cheese to a good solid floor and rockers. very nice work....you made it look so simple and easy. after watching this, i would consider doing sheet metal work if needed. the problem here is, once it gets to that point there usually isnt anything left to weld too except rust.

[@MichaelMcFearin]

I love the metal fab work, feel free to show more of the labor involved in it.

[@tombob671]

Very fine job making this a serviceable unit

[@Idahofabmat]

Video popped up while eating diner turned the TV off to see the update lol during the day while I'm driving I let your channel play for back ground

[@robertsampson5805]

I admire you for keeping it real..

[@redrevo_117]

Man great job on the floors. really making me want to hurry up and start on my floor for my corvair all i need is a helmet and sheet metal...

[@RatdogDRB]

Very nice looking repair. You'd better spring for the fuzzy dice now, your wife's car will need that little touch.

[@williammcguire3rd]

Dang looking awesome love it!!

[@garyp1533]

Damn fine job on the floors Talent up the wazoo!!!!

[@sixpackroadrunner]

Awesome job on the old girl. Thanks for filming it im showing my son how to do this on a old car. Keep up the good work .

[@formulafordisaster7609]

Man, you really deserve more subscribers! Keep the videos coming, I really look forward to the next step!

[@erikturner8687]

You will really like the helmet!

[@mjmcomputers]

As always, great work!

[@markbrittell2001]

Nice job on that floor.

[@sheldondyck8631]

You downplay your skills a lot man. It might not look like factory but it’s made just as well and looks good too. Great work.

[@MrJoey1970]

i enjoy watching you because your working on my favorite kind of car. Studebaker.
