Can We Even Rebuild This?? Bikes and Beards JUNKYARD WLA

[@BikesandBeards]

This is so awesome that engine looks brand new I can’t wait to ride it

[@Clarencebobarence]

Spoiler alert!

[@codyrichardson4262]

I didn't even know this place existed till you guys went. I've literally drove by the museum going cherokee. Definitely going in april

[@SteveOLive88]

Sean you rock thanks for the awesome content

What would make it even MORE bad ass would be stroking it out to 4-5/8". If you can afford it I'd do it. You'd REALLY see that thing come alive

[@danielseymour6726]

It's apparent the knowledge your dad imparted to you was soaked up like a sponge. Enjoyed this. Thank you.

[@thinkandrepent3175]

I see it too. The boy will surpass the old man for sure. Beautiful thing.

[@michaelhill7471]

As enthralled as I always was listening to Dale being excited about whatever he was doing a vid about and working on, I believe I am more so seeing Matt’s enthusiasm. “Wheels Through Time” ain’t going away to soon.

[@xxDOTH3DEWxx]

Matt*. Dale is his father

[@vernegibb621]

Much respect you helping them get that bike back on the road.

[@rodslogic4350]

It is good to see these Old Stallions being brought back to life Awesome.

[@Roger21989]

Nice to see a master at work!

[@dandaman2753]

The two coolest motorcycle channels on KZbin working together! That's a big win for all your subscribers. Thank you guys for working together and taking us along for the ride!

[@daveco1270]

It was really cool to see you go over the bike with Sean and Craig when they came in. I can't wait to see that thing fire up for the first time when you're done with the engine. Nice of you to take a moment to show us how the bike should sound. It's pretty amazing that the 39 Harley started on the first kick...after ten years of sitting.

[@bananabrooks3836]

Mmmm.. 10 years? not checking points?

[@thedewdster]

@@bananabrooks3836 he put fresh oil and gas into it right before he fired it up... Did you not watch the video? Points ain't going bad sitting inside a temperature controlled building like that either.

[@bananabrooks3836]

Ah yes he did, not used to seeing engine oil going in that orifice.

[@kicon7714]

It was like watching my cousin who's a chef take apart a chicken.

[@TheReubenswann]

Hey guys! Love to see the collaboration with the other guys. Such great respect for both channels. Im so excited to see what happens with this project. 👍

[@motorcyclewild5873]

They definitely should do more videos together

[@hogdavidson489]

It’s amazing to me the knowledge you have on these engines , and the fact that you’re so willing to share your knowledge with anybody that asks, my brothers and myself came by back in June and toured the museum and we were so proud when you took the time to speak with us and gave us the privilege of taking our picture with you. We support the museum as much as we can and will continue to. Thank you for everything you and your staff do, y’all are top tier, the very best, hope to come back soon

[@jamesozment1]

And that my friends is why I love Harley Davidson! Almost 80 years old a fired up in just a few primer kicks and one good git-er-done kick.

[@Markotto09]

It’s really not my place, but I am pleased they brought you the motor. This’ll be a great collaboration.

[@HairyMTB]

Hi Matt.... I came here from Bikes and Beards .... Subed with notifications set 👍👍👍👍👍

[@perfecthockey2366]

Brilliant. Got me for every episode. Just like that stuff with the bearings,, that much detail is what I want. 2 / 10,000th, stuff like that, show me it all, all the mundane details. A lifetime of learning you have and it shows. Teach us.

[@richardcrouse9074]

Thanks Matt for carrying the torch for Dale. You’re doing a wonderful job.

[@christianmccollum1028]

Wow. What a TREAT!!! Thank you- made my week.

[@DougFLTRX]

Saw that episode of beards and bikes.... Glad to see you ended up with the motor

[@motuknight5569]

Matt you have what they call the gift of gab! 😀 you’re ability to take the vast amount of knowledge and eloquently verbalize it while having the ability to talk directly to your audience and connect with them is amazing. Plus you really come across as a nice guy who is hyper passionate about your work. Keep doing what your doing!! 🤟😎🤟

[@justinraab8062]

I wish I had knowledge on ANYTHING as much as Matt does these old Harleys. Seems like a great guy.

[@christopherseivard8925]

Thanks so much. I am recovering from a stroke. I love to see things that can be rebuilt. Good for the soul!

[@jlletaw1954]

First time ever seeing one of these opened up 😎 impressive...and you have probably the coolest job on the planet - Great Shop 👍

[@joshjablonicky171]

As always another great video that's informative and just fun I might not understand all this but he makes it so much easier to start understanding a lot of the stuff for these bikes. We all know is Dad Dale's looking down on them is a very very proud man.

[@pskemster]

First class all the way! Will be tuning in again!

[@turtlepower3256]

Love your channel! Love Bikes N Beards channel! You guys are awesome!!

[@greysuit17]

This is awesome man! So excited to see how this all turns out.

[@vincentpatenaude9152]

You deserve so many more views and subscribers! Your videos are excellent!

[@scottarmstrong1172]

Great video Matt! I always like to see how the old timers modified their bikes.

[@sladeb6036]

I bet it was super awesome ripping that down the beach back in the day. So sick.

[@kawikakilawana7250]

Right off the bat, you guys cleaned it up tremendously! No better place to bring it to than you guys.

[@RusselLee]

Love seeing this. Yes I fallow both channels. So cool seeing behind the vail. The collaboration with the other guys... Very cool. Great content as well. So grateful for all you do. Maybe one day I will win one of your awesome machines. I'll keep trying. Roll on.

[@frankparnell7931]

Really love it for both Wheels through Time and Bike & Beards!

[@SILVERGHOST-qu5cn]

I can't wait to come down and see the museum and hopefully meet ya Matt, amazing stuff

[@K_Nasty]

Great "behind the scenes" look at an awesome piece of engineering history. Thanks man.

[@Patriot-up2td]

Fantastic walk through Matt. Thanks for taking us along!

[@dougscott8161]

Wow, Matt, It looks to me like the only real damage to that beautiful, rare machine is the cracks in the cylinders and the broken valve springs. But as long as you're doing a full rebuild on her, it's best to replace the bearings that could be just beginning to become a little bit iffy. The Bikes and Beards guys have them selves a real treasure there. Thanks for an extremely informative video, God Bless and stay safe.

[@garystratton4125]

This is the most interest I have had in a video in a long time. My Dad put a 45 cu. inch harley together in 1964-65. It was an old bike at that time but do not remember what year it was. I loved the smell of that assembly .. gas and oil and grease.. Love it.. This is the best video...

[@mcjok88]

WTT!!! THIS WAS GREAT. YOU DEFINITELY SHOULD BE REBUILDING BIKES ON YOUR CHANNEL. NARATE THE HISTORY, A PERIOD PICS OF SAME MODEL BIKES...YEA I WOULD LOVE IT! DO IT!

[@bossbuick8615]

i watched the bikes and beards guys pick this up and was upset the way they had no idea what they had or how to ride it, now i realise we all had to learn, hope they treat it with the same love you are putting into building the engine

[@Kaptain13Gonzo]

A history lesson mixed with the soft touch of an expert rebuild. Dale didn't really need a mic to know how big those bearings were. So fun to watch.

[@davidescalera7927]

Wow wicked sounding bike!

[@bobmurphy3723]

What a great bunch of guys

[@krazyaxe69]

I absolutely love the enthusiasm he shows when talking about and showing the bikes you can tell he is a man who loves what he does

[@davebarrowcliffe1289]

Great to see that engine all cleaned up. I want to see every detail of the rebuild...

[@Audizz]

Damn that 1939 Sounds really nice.. Goosebumps

[@Nzchimeran]

So great to see it being saved. Wow sounds amazing

[@jankjensen222]

Awesome video, very instructional analysis :-). In rebuild mode my self so great motivation.. make it look easy. Keep the videos coming especially in these dark times in europe. All the best from Denmark, cant wait to visit.

[@marshall4759]

I could watch your videos all day. Very educational, and entertaining. Thank you.

[@robertwells6454]

You have done a great job with Your Dad's legacy and memory. Matt You are the perfect Person to be involved with this project. 🤟😎 🦅🇺🇸🦅

[@christopherhughes2211]

Damn I wished I had your knowledge of these engines Matt! It’s darn impressive. That’s hard one knowledge by doing and paying attention to the guys that came before you.

[@bullitt79]

Awesomeness personified and multiplied. Thanks man, this is such good stuff. I'm so glad you guys are working together. This is very cool. Thanks.

[@scottimusgarrett15]

Initially found out about you through the Bikes and Beards guys, and I was totally impressed with your knowledge on these old dogs! Subscribed! I cannot believe how mint that case came out!

[@coachjeff493]

What a flipping great episode mate ....... Love the sound of that machine and love watching you work Brother

[@steveshoemaker6347]

Nice to ssee a longer video from you guy's🏍👀....Awesome video thanks 👍

Thanks for the video and sharing your knowledge with us. Miss your dad too.

[@AmericanVoter]

Matt thank you for bring history back to life. I had know idea what man had accomplish so many year before. Thank you for keeping this so important history alive.

[@sportsterjaykline1913]

Love the cross channel thing with Bikes and Beards going on lately. You should do more wrenching content as well.

[@tomcleghorn4005]

New subscriber here! My biggest question is how have I never found you before? Your knowledge and genuine commitment too the history and future of these machine is commendable! Thank you sir

[@Fezzler61]

Magic! When passion meets knowledge, skills, proper tools and heritage = Wheels Through Time. (I also love the cross-channel collaborations.)

[@tristanmeadows]

Bikes and build did lead me to you channel and iam stoked. I love channels that do in-depth builds especially on motors very interesting subscribed!!!!~ That engine sounds so good love the lumpy idle :D

[@nickelcityrider5431]

I could watch 8 hours / day - everyday of Matt talking about engines and motorcycle history. Super interesting and informative. I can not wait and see how the Bikes n’ Beards project progresses. Hope to see more of these kind of videos from both channels. Incredible!

[@robertcribb3859]

An old friend of mine rode Harley's for years and he always said his bike didn't leak oil it was only marking it's territory

[@greenmountainsuriving]

I Love that you are keeping your Fathers legacy alive your knowledge of Antique Harley no Forget that your Knowledge of Antique Motor Cycles is Amazing I can tell you soaked in every word of knowledge your father spoke to you while growing up and the reason I know is I was the same with my dad I always was my dad's shadow growing up I learned more from him than any of my teachers could have taught me anyways thank you from Sean in Vermont

[@petersmith5832]

Great channel, it’s an education for me. Great work

[@Popsaircraftdetail]

Your place is magical brother

[@andrewdowns3403]

well done Dale , good to see you doing the work your self . greetings from Australia

[@davidbarnett7754]

I commented they should talk too your museum! This is awesome!

[@danielbal5272]

I agree with everyone, this is great content and two channels working together is very cool. I have built several hot rod engines in my time and I wanted to clarify the reason for polishing the rods. It is definately for strength, never heard of anyone doing this to make their engine "slippery". Polishing the rod beams eliminates stress risers and makes it more resistant against cracking. Keep up the good work.

[@EnemyKnown]

That 39 has an incredible sound. Can't wait to come down to Maggie Valley and see these treasures in person. Matt it's great hearing the same enthusiasm that your Dad had for these classic American classics.

[@infini1970]

Wow that looks new!! Geeez what a great job.

[@mcjok88]

This is FANTASTIC! Absolute treat to follow up BB Video with this. The detail, the history the hands on in the shop. Just great. Thank you!

[@mikeh.4087]

Very interesting! Love to hear it run when it is done!

[@rickygraham3330]

I drove from Oklahoma to N.C. last July just to come and visit Wheels through Time. It is absolutely a mind blowing experience.

[@BMWHP2]

Came here with Bikes and Beards, and I love your channel. Thanks for this video, i keep learning. 👍 Whow, 80 years old, first kick running and awesome sound. I bought a 1942 WLA civilian version in 1974 and road it for many years back and forth to my work in Amsterdam. I was tricked-out of it by a (former) friend, and still hate the day i was that stupid.

[@AA-69]

Love the way he doesn't mollycoddle these old bikes... Just like his dad 👍... Take care my friend, .. 😘from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@Pittsburghpilot]

Matt I think your channel is going to blow up! The video and your knowledge and expertise are intoxicating to watch and I am hooked and I know I not the only one.

[@GoodForYou4504]

Good to see a rare piece of history sent to one of the few that has the experience and knowledge to work on it. Thank you.

Matt, Your doing a Great Job"" Your Father was a Great Guy'' been over to your shop 3 or 4 times Now'' from Knoxville, Thank you ''

[@davidnanze8697]

I see the apple don't fall far from the tree. your dad taught you well. good to see the Museum is in good hands and will be around for generations to come. I hope to visit one day. Its on my bucket list.

An amazing amount of knowledge and history here …. Where will we ever find guys like this again.

I hope you show the rebuild process. Could watch this all day 👍

[@chriscastro3361]

I agree, I learn new stuff each time I watch Matt explain his video topic!

[@leetownsend46]

Loving the rebuild . Currently I'm on with a 1960 BSA great to see other people who love the history of motorcycles.

[@mdlipps]

Thanks for firing up that WLDR that was a real treat. I've been following this build and can't wait to see it when it's finished.

[@rollerizer2558]

Thank you so much for this video, and especially for taking the time to fire up the '39. Your knowledge is just amazing, and your ability to communicate what you know is outstanding. The Museum is so interesting... *definitely* on my agenda for a good long visit. Thanks!

[@chicoshovelhead]

Great narrative. You can tell this cat loves what he's doing...and knows his shit. Well done.

What an awesome video. And Mr. Dale is really knowledgable!!!

[@DancerOfClouds]

Kudu's to Sean for introducing you to us Matt. Your museum is definitely on my bucket list.

[@GareyCooperdude]

Such a fun video to watch. Love that comment about the pan full of oil under the other bike; "if it's not letting oil out, there is no oil in." Perfect for the times. "Back in the day" everything with oil in it leaked, sooner or later. Great to watch so much expertise here on these Harley motors. Good luck on the rebuild guys.

[@YoshiRambles]

Been following Sean for years and seen the videos. Duuuude....you cleaned the crap out of that engine! Looks amazing, WOW. Can't wait to see the final results, great job.
