STARTING UP THE 1935 HUPMOBILE ENGINE: FLATHEAD GASSER HOTROD BUILD

[@matthewfocke5360]

More classic engine cranking...An interesting aspect to watch and learn about. Thanks Chad and Jolene. Thanks for your honesty about your work and what you think about it...Always moving forward perfecting your craft. I like how you bring your specialist friends in to help you in areas you know less about. Smart business sense on your part, in your car building approach. It is great to have good friends to work with... I can see why you pay close attention to spending quality time with one another outside your work. Intense hours finding your way-your path. No suspension on the race car? Really? I don't understand why. I guess I'm a little slow in understanding your reasoning. I mean no disrespect in saying that. Us older folks know how to read a clock if you know what I mean.

[@andygervais4645]

Only a mad talented genius could have a number of projects on the go simultaneously. Chad and Jolene keep up the awesome work. This has got to be one of the most entertaining channels on KZbin!!!

[@rayrobbins4625]

Hello, I stumbled onto your video yesterday. I don't know why you are called Bad Chad . For what I have seen so far . Your work ethic is awesome and you are an inspiration to others . You are living proof , you can't tell a book by it's cover . You have a wonderful relationship with your lady. I wish you both many years of happiness together . I don't work on cars , I am fasinated by how you solve problems and carry on . You are also a master craftsman . I can't wait to see your wife drive the Bugatti . Take care . I had a 40 Plymouth coupe when I was young, many years ago .

[@jimcoplan9502]

This will be fun to watch. Seeing a classic motor come back to life is special. Chad and John can do it. Jolene's video will be awesome.

[@OwenFromOhio]

John is a keeper, you need a good wrench on hand to get all those creations actually done!

[@ronaldplatts2011]

so cool, the people who come with vast amounts of knowledge to help out, got it started and running, nice work.

[@TheRichyrich1966]

That engine is sweet, can't wait to see it run up the yard. Even better when the chopped body goes on. Awesome.

[@ronaldcolonna3721]

It just needs a little more in depth going over. Making sure the timing and firing order is correct and a good carb cleaning. It will run!

[@neilmcgregor8868]

That flat head runs perfect .Good job Chad and John. Hats off to whom ever rebuilt that engine. That much oil pressure no click or clang ! Rock on 😁

[@DennisMurphey]

Well, you did it again. Bringing John is was the right move, he was so calm and patient and then it fired right up, i was smiling just like you were. Dang it was so smooth and just might be a heck of runner. Too bad we can't find a Cam, headers and nice intake with 2 or 3 carbs. That will really fit the dang Cab Over perfectly too. So happy for you guys. I was worried about the truck and where it was going, but i feel like now you show its purpose with the race car. Just great stuff. Thanks, Dennis

[@cannabisticannabisticino2718]

wow! The engine started immediately, 😎👍 great job guys. Greetings from Switzerland

[@somebodysomebody2055]

You can tell Chad is super happy with the motor.. AWESOME 👍👍👍😁

[@alexandriawootton1742]

Nice to see John back working on the Hup engine, congrats on getting it running, Chad looks excited as he should be the engine sounds good 👍

[@DavidBrown-mn3iy]

I am looking forward to seeing a narley intake manifold and some amazing header coming off the same side of that engine!

[@dwartfarquart9590]

Hearing a motor run for the first time never gets old.

[@markgriffin4888]

After all the hard work in separating the cross member, you can now sell it, at what ever hourly rate it took you to get it done👍👍👍

[@lawrenwimberly7311]

sounds like a good engine... good old flatheads have a distinctive sound

[@loubianchi2577]

Can't believe you are talking about fall and winter weather coming. I'm impressed with how much you and Jolene have accomplished over the four summer months. Thanks for the summer entertainment!

[@fredhoman6101]

great to see the engine running,it's promising for the build,thanks for sharing

[@williampalmer4676]

Hello Hiltz crew! Forward progress on many fronts! Very inspiring! You guys ROCK!

[@stephenmelton7706]

This channel is turning out to be one of my favorites. I just got done binge watching Bad Chad on Discovery and am hoping for a 3rd season.

[@rufis-fo2zp]

I enjoy watching your videos. Real life. Real work. Real hot rods.

[@pbcummins58]

Chad, It certainly was a treat to see how happy you were when that engine fired up. I know the feeling. It's like a major mile stone in one's project when you hear that thumpin'. Congrats!

[@johnnorris816]

The first startup of the Flathead. That was awesome jolene's always looking good. Good job from all of you.

[@TheRavnKnight]

good idea for the front suspension ... and super excited when i heard it fire up just awesome :)

[@billhoward7730]

It is great to see an old Hupmobile start up and run as good as this one. Great job Chad, Bob and Jolene. Hi Fina!!!. Bill

[@justanonymous8858]

It is all coming together! It's fun to watch. Thanks for sharing your passion with us.

[@ukrarex]

Getting closer and closer. Would love to see this truck in person.

[@MIKEH.777]

I'm really excited that the motor for the race car is running. Keep up the great work and God Bless you and your family

[@williameversole2093]

Thanks for not leaven us hanging on starting that cat thanks for taking time to entertain us from our day to day life's

[@larryray4811]

the part that on the old frame that has holes, would work nicely for picture frame for several pictures.

[@davidtutor6763]

Man that thing runs good. Looking great. Thanks for the hard work you two

[@Jimsathome]

Even though this small 6 was easy to get running, that Flat head V-8 will move you down the track faster when you are racing.

[@ronaldyoungberg9933]

Clyde Barrow wrote a letter to henry Ford thanking him for building the V8 motor.

[@mattnelson5322]

the engine start was great! Awesome work all 3 of you! thanks for sharing!

[@jamielegacy5247]

Good job downtown John got the flat head running and good video Chad and Jolene

[@oldschool1993]

Never ceases to amaze and frustrate me as guys crank and crank on some engine- usually with a half charged battery. Step 1- Check compression- if your cylinders are under 70 # it ain't gonna run Step 2- Check for spark- if the plugs don't spark it ain't gonna run Step 3- Check for fuel- rig up a tank that will gravity feed the carb so you don't have to worry about old fuel, rusty tanks or bad fuel pump. Step 4- If you have compression, spark and fuel, then static time the engine by hooking your test light to the negative side of the coil, turning the engine by hand toward TDC- the light will go out when the points open, showing you where the timing is- move the distributor so the light goes out about 10 degrees before TDC- at the same time note the rotation of the rotor and check your plug wires for the correct firing order.

[@gordandcolleenkerr7760]

if the firing order was wrong it would be back firing out the top of the carb

[@oldschool1993]

@@gordandcolleenkerr7760 We'll see when they try it. Of course if they do the correct procedure, it should start right up, but then the video would only be 5 minutes long and we wouldn't get to see Chad running back and forth for another 55 minutes.

[@moose958]

I agree y Didnt it back fire u are spot on.

[@lenbehr2571]

Wow that awesome! That motor seems to run great. It's gonna be a cool little hot rod

[@donaldshortreed3011]

I’m really looking forward to seeing this engine run!

[@june281980]

Unbelievable! Awesome to see that engine running like a champ

[@TheOldaz1]

Classic, engine runs well. Possible the oil pressure relief valve is stuck, pressure looks way high for low speed running.

[@johnjackett3138]

Bet You'll be the only Hupmobile powered race car out there...Love watching daily

[@laurencesteers9648]

Hi Chad and Jolene, if it fires up and runs, I will be into my workshop tomorrow and fire up my vintage motorcycle. You inspire me, and I will have to act on it.

[@nosparex]

It's great to have Jolene and her many talents/skills.

[@canadianentertainment]

I wanna see your your project running that would cool keep up the hard work

[@robertstaff]

Love the hum of the engine.

[@ronc6249]

Chad & Jolene I'm looking forward to hearing the Hup engine run! It sounded pretty promising the other day so I'm sure it'll run! It's a perfect engine for what you're using it for. Keep up the great work both of you

[@jacksellar1692]

Nice to see your motor choice started and ran well …… sorry you did not use the flathead, but fully can see why time wise. Nice to see the progress on the frame - that looks like a GREAT choice to use! Hope the transmission and rear end will work for a “gasser race car” but suspect you may need some changes there if speed is a concern. Enjoying watching the progress!

[@butziporsche8646]

That engine sounds better than I expected. Although, I still think a 6-71 Detroit would sound awesome.

[@tomedwards38]

Motor sounds good. Can't wait to see the car come together.

[@davidadams007]

nice to see the flat head start up so well after so much time outside. Excellent!

[@paulnull5389]

That away to go Downtown John. Motor sounds great. I can already visualize the chopped Ford going down the race track.

[@danobrien3109]

How nice to see that beautiful old motor come to life. Happy for you.👍👍🇨🇦

[@Kyle-qk8hr]

That’s good news the motor runs . I will most likely see you guys in Winterport ME next year. The drag strip is about 1 hr from me.

[@westonward735]

That brought a smile to my face! Awesome!

[@chrispiazza7487]

I need to move to Canada, you guys are having ALL the fun!

[@monadking2761]

Those flat heads are smooth running. Was that a 6 volt system running on a 12 volt. Usually 6 volts systems crank over alot slower.

[@susanparody5152]

Nice to hear the motor running quite smoothly with a little TLC

[@scottjacomb8101]

It’s great to see how quickly you got that flathead running. Good thing John was there to help

[@fareed-9981]

Excellent display of automotive knowledge and abilities.

[@Roopull]

If that didn't make you smile, you're not human. 😁

[@jonlennon3348]

I just gotta say it the old six cylinders ran so smooth and some had roller cams in them so that technology is older than anyone today knew.

[@davehickey4936]

I would love to be there with them working on that old motor!

[@davidmolling5685]

Love watching your content, you always doing good work. Keep up the good work 👍 from Dave in Australia.

[@TheKustomBeardoh]

Good job on the engine boys! She sounds sweet. Gonna be a rad car when you getter all done!

[@paulanderson7259]

It’s so nice when something goes easy for a change!

[@michaelbristol6467]

She runs like a singer sewing machine. Excellent ! 👌 Ol John knows his way around an engine, be a good guy to keep around. Downtown John 😉

[@i8ntnuts]

Yeah that was nice to see John get the engine going. And Chads reaction was like a kid in a candy store. It was really nice to see the little boy in him being happy.

[@jayshotwell9764]

I'm old but don't know much about flat heads don't know how much you can build them up be interesting watching from ohio

[@i8ntnuts]

@Jay Shotwell I could be wrong but I don’t think the Hup received a lot of attention by hot rodders. There’s probably very little Speed equipment that was ever made for it. I’m sure the Ford flathead V-8 was the king of the road back then. They are still popular with many people even to this day. I wouldn’t be surprised if you could build the Ford flathead from the ground up with all aftermarket parts. I think Chad will be able to meet all his goals with this six cylinder Hup. Did you see his face light up when the engine started? They are having a good time. Can’t ask for much more than that.

[@larrybailey43]

That’s going to be interesting to see how well that engine does.

[@ronaldschmuck3901]

Very cool to see that motor running, they don’t make them like that any more,have a great day ,God bless.

[@Mr51Fargo]

Oh boy round 2 on start up did you get the starter all fixed up ... looking forward to seeing this gasser all done ...

[@tonymosca6591]

Ready to hear the roar of the hupmobile!

[@buffdelcampo]

Short video worked well for me tonight. I had a long day at work. AND... The Hupp engine sounds so good. It's the right engine for your race car !

[@andrewpowell6457]

Nice to see the old flat head going. Well done folk.

[@craigdrenga1666]

That motor sounds purrrrfect. Jolene, cou.d you post your work on KZbin because some of us don't have Facebook? Thank you. Love your show

[@elkoholicelkoholic3276]

Today was a good day... 🏎️.... Vrooooomm...motor running..

[@burthurt8365]

Whoop Whoop . Hell yeah man , the sound of success . I love it when a plan comes together

[@unique-xh2te]

it would be nice to see him build a new intake for it and put multiple carbs on it and some headers

[@rcbodyshopfr]

Nice to see engine running! As you say it's "easy" on good all cars!😂

[@gordmacdonald9711]

THAT was a blast watching that old engine come to life!!!!!!/.....!!!

[@ionedave]

Sounds really good. Look the flat 6 sound. Good torque

[@markdutka3774]

Wow it runs, all it needed was a little LTC. We done Chad & Jolene well done, keep moving forward with the project. Thanks Mark Dutka

[@pjsratrods8936]

Sounds Great! I would love to get the body off that Hupp! Make a neat rat rod.

[@jaychandler62]

It's good to hear the engine run.

[@timhanson2080]

It's a great sounding and running engine. It's going to be cool.🏁

[@franka2507]

Run it will

[@jamesglenn2006]

Wow, that flat 6 ran pretty nice. That will make an interesting car.

[@donthompson9300]

Great to see the motor fire up so fast. Glad to see they didn't run it that long without water. Hopefully John will get the gear box problem sorted out by tomorrow video.

[@paulbrino8689]

Good to see you smile with the motor starting!!!

[@littlejohnfromeasttn.5110]

great show that sounded great for setting for 3 years

[@jeffreymayersr495]

Chads so excited with the flathead he might not sleep tonight !!! 😁

[@laurencesteers9648]

Whoop whoop, I am getting my overalls out to wear tomorrow, I will be sparking up my vintage bike tomorrow morning now Chad has given me the drive forward to do it . Thank you

[@matthewleno4027]

Looking forward to every step of this

[@markallison8854]

Looking forward to seeing the flat head running. Thanks Chad and jolene 👉⚘⚘♥️♥️😎😎😎😎

[@canman225]

Amazing how resilient them old engine's are...you leave a new car sitting around for a while and it has all kinds of problems haha

[@jerrykoschney5975]

The way you have decided to mount front spring will look so much better and save some weight.

[@joebourque4860]

Can't wait to see it come to life. Thanks for the video Jolene and chad 👍👍👍

[@Hugister]

Run run, little flathead!!

[@tomswindler64]

Great to have friends like downtown John. Motor sounds great and project is coming along

[@FriedGarFish]

That was nice to see the engine fire right up.

[@benjiehoffard9323]
