GRANDPAS 1935 CHEVY COUPE REVIVAL MYSTERY ENGINE ?!?!

[@lynnlutjen261]

I am 67years old and this brings back so many memories. I would not change a thing with the running gears it so vintage and shows what we had to work with when things were not plentiful as they are today. Love listening to your grandpa tell his stories! Thanks

[@snoopu2601]

Exactly I would change out the flat head just get it running, that car has so many stories behind it. Just get that car out the garage and enjoy road trips with grandpa.

[@BUILTFORDTOUGH79]

I wouldn’t change a single thing. I have my grandfathers truck, and it has a ford 400 boat anchor engine….. it’ll get rebuilt before I swap it for something he didn’t put in it himself. Love it man…. Good content right here.

[@wybarprojects]

I could listen to your grandfather tell stories all day. He reminds me a lot of my grandad, although I lost mine a few years ago. It definitely looks like you appreciate what you have and that’s great to see. Keep the videos coming when you can!

[@goldenrustorbust]

Thanks for listening and I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather

[@kerrypierre9494]

I'm with you 💯 I love listening to the Old-Schoolers tell stories about their lives, it's living history 👍🇺🇸🔥

[@miksedk]

My first thought, my granddad biked out to people just after wwii, fixing people's radios, and later on when people got TVs in their livingrooms that too. He ran papers for the resistance etc. He let me screw on old radios and learn when I was a kid. He always was a good teacher. I looked over his shoulder when he fixed the family's tvs and radios. He died last year 93 year old. married to my grandma for 72½ years. Yeah, I NEVER ONCE heard them fight og use high voices. neither did my Mother and my Mother's Sister. ❤💪That's love all the way through life. My grandma still lives, love them both endlesly

[@keithkoester4884]

Your grandfather is an amazing man, I could listen to him all day!

[@jeffpowers2916]

Cherish this time with your grandpa John. Lost mine 25 years ago. He was a mechanic all his life but never got time to hang with him and get some of his knowledge. I'm also from the davenport area. Great video

[@phillipcortel6330]

Grandpa is a treasure John! Like listening to his story's. Nice old Chevy! How easy it started for you and grandpa!

[@hqwoody327]

What a treat! I'm so happy you get to spend real quality time with your grandpa, and you get to document the time together, and his stories. Cherish it, mate.

[@dave.harmon]

I knew I was gonna love this, even before I hit play. Your grandpa is a legend!

[@ksook13]

Never got to have a bond with my grandparents 😪. Just a short but very sweet bond with my moms mother. Seeing you and your grandpa's bond is so incredibly touching!!! Love grandpa's storys!!! ❤️ by the way the 1962 /63 coupe is so cool , and so exciting watching it get put back to running again!!

[@defuller1]

Your Grandpa is the gold in Golden Rust or Bust! Both of my grandpas are gone now, but I'm enjoying seeing you work with yours. Thanks for the video!

[@4Skyline05]

I lost one of my grandpa’s in 2020 and I just lost the other one about 2 months back. Listening to grandpa’s story’s are making me feel some kinda way. 💜

[@goldenrustorbust]

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. family is very important and when you lose a family member its like losing a piece of yourself. sending my condolences

[@AERVBlog]

72 year old here. This was such a heart warming video. Watching you and your grandfather work together and share so much made my week. I wish I could have had those times with my grandfather but unfortunately he was gone early in my life. You are a lucky man. Thank you for this.

[@tankman1930]

Both my grandfathers are gone now, and hearing your grandfather brings back a lot of good memories. Back when one of my grandfathers learned me how to do drum brakes and rebuild a carb when I was 5 ish. So many memories. Glad to see the old ford. Not many still around.

[@sccarguy8242]

Man treasure every moment you ca get like this. What a story, what a car. PS my vote is leave her heart in her, she has been good to the family and deserves to stay… PPS if that air compressor is 100 years old take a good look at that tank, make sure it’s not rusting internally. They tend to pop after a while.

[@Fffffffffffffff130]

Great video, I first seen that car sitting in that exact spot over 37 years ago and it’s the first time I ever seen it move. And of course once an automotive teacher ALWAYS a automotive teacher. My first automotive lesson was in that driveway and it was changing the master cylinder on my little red ford pickup. Good job John, keep the videos coming 👍

[@joshwallick2708]

My grandpa just died a couple weeks ago. I miss listening to his stories! These guys lived life to the fullest .

[@saludahead]

Young man, You are very lucky! Cherish the time with your grandfather! Any time you can sit at the feet of wisdom is time well spent!

[@lonewolf744]

Grandpa is a legend!!! I've always loved old chevy coupes.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Love the stories and the history in this episode and all the cool old vintage Items from the early days Reminds me of Being a kid again back in the 70s

[@fireslayerdad]

Your grandpa is an amazing guy!! Enjoy every minute that you can.

[@stubbysgarage]

I lost my grandpa April of this year. He would tell me stories about all his old cars. Being ripped through the driver's window by a cop after getting pulled over, or losing his clutch coming back from work and rebuilding it under a light pole on a bridge. Great stories and memories

[@hendo337]

You're so lucky to still have your Grandfather he's a really cool guy. I miss mine so much, he used to tell me stories about his Model As, '49 Ford, '58 Meteor. It would be sweet of you put a roller cam 351w in there. Just to keep the theme of a Ford in a Chevy if the Flattie isn't in the cards anymore. Great stuff, I'm also here for the mustache...I have my mullet twerking and my stache rockin'. 🤣😂😎🚬

[@rager1969]

It's really cool that you can work on things with your grandpa. Two things I noticed immediately about this video. First, a 50 minute video, which I believe is longer than normal. Second, an opening theme song and video sequence. It looks like you're upping your production quality. Congrats, as it's a skill and may pay off for the channel.

[@friguy4444]

Yes I really hope he digs in and goes for it making more videos! He's got what it takes IMHO!

[@kerrypierre9494]

Hey John, it's great to see you again, beautiful old Chevy and your grandpa is awesome 👍🇺🇸⚜️🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@kennywise1]

Wish a had a grandfather like him 👍

[@jasonlovesanythingcars3579]

You got great friends as in junkyard digs!! Congratulations on your engagement. I was married. Now divorced. Remember that she won’t always be there if your always at work or whatever. That’s why mine left me. I was so involved with work trying to feed my family I forgot my family I guess. Best of luck man!!!!!keep her happy! Ask her what she wants to be happy. We don’t know till we ask.

[@saludahead]

That,fuel pump is for an FE Ford engine I used to have an old 62 galaxy! It was one of the best cars I ever owned! I got a newspaper, ran through the want ads, and found one for a 1962 Ford Galaxy. Transmission slips engine smokes fifty dollars I was driving my boss' 1948 Ford wrecker , so i gave the man 2, 20 dollar bills and a sawbuck to go with them. Stopped at the parts store and bought a vacuum modulator, left it on the wrecker, slid underneath and popped the modulator in and snugged it down. It smoked like a cotton mill for a few minutes and quit smoking. I drove that old Ford for ten years, painted it red, and sold it for for $3500.00, bought a 62 Falcon, and dropped a 427 Side Oiler Ford engine in it!

[@jasonlovesanythingcars3579]

She is a beautiful car. Thanks grandpa!!!!

[@oldmanriver4839]

44:11. The amazing disappearing dog. Awesome people and vehicle.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

That had to been fun as heck Driving grampa coupe with grandpa with you

[@jeremywimer8842]

What an amazing story. Your Grandpa has definitely had some cool experiences. Great episode! Thanks for taking all of us along!

[@williemorgan6738]

Wow your grampa reminds me.of my dad so glad I got to see him and his beautiful car.

[@frestkd]

Recording these videos with grandfather is good. Wish I had the ability when my grandparents were alive ...

[@keithrhoda9508]

Your Grandfather is a totally cool dude. Enjoyed seeing him in the video sharing his stories about the car.

[@Mercmad]

In the 1960's I delivered newspapers in the evening. One person who got their paper delivered had a 1937 Stude coupe which had a GMC 302 six. He sold the car to young guy just starting an apprenticeship at the local Ford dealers . He had found a rebuilt 59A flattie in the company's spare parts department,and that got installed in the coupe. I had flatties later on and still like them .

[@bryanmorgan8501]

I like how your getting to spend time with your pop's! Mine passed away when I was younger. Glad to see you enjoying each other's company

[@goldenrustorbust]

I’m sorry to hear about your loss

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Love them old quiet 💯 plus year old compressors

[@Bodhranarama]

Good to see you back man. Grandad's a star.

[@ianmatthews7887]

:-) Great to see new content. Love the bond you and your Grandpa have. Love that car as well.

[@billcar741]

I have my Mom's first car, a 1935 Ford 5 window coupe, someday hope to put it back on the road, last driven in 1964.

[@galenamall2061]

As larry the Cable guy says get her done

[@billcar741]

@@galenamall2061 LOL, Trust me, its on the list. After i finish my high school car, 1971 dodge charger R/T

[@verncommet1798]

Grandpa is awesome I’ve never seen someone do their own lining replacement thanks

[@coonlakebackwoods]

Awesome revival. Your grandpa is a cool guy.

[@sabresquatch]

Your grandfather is awesome! I'd love to see him in more of your videos and hear more of his stories.

[@garyashdown5376]

Love the car but you're grandpa! What a guy please treasure him and yes I've got a touch of envy due to a certain European war which claimed both of my granddad's as we call them over here. So even though you've heard a story a 1000x treasure the moments. Great channel as well by the way.. Gary 🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@jasonmyers3847]

I love the idea of replacing the trusty old flathead with a 302!

[@randalltucker1900]

Love all the old school stuff. It was a joy listening to your grandpa teach us about riveting on liners to brake shoes that was awesome. Also I enjoyed learning about your distributor that had two sets of points I never knew distributors had two sets of points in them you have to go more in detail with that I'd love to learn more on how that operates

[@shawnmartisko1966]

That’s a bad ass car ur pap knew it was a keeper whenever he first bought it and that’s awesome in it’s self for him to see that in it years ago

[@jacquelatourcaptainunderpa8475]

It's cool that you have a gear head grandpa, my grandpa's and Dad were lucky to know how to change a flat tire. And all my family has passed away now.

[@hendo337]

If you kept the Flattie, to make it more capable of modern speeds I believe a T-5 manual with Overdrive can be adapted to those so you can cruise 70mph at safer rpms. I think that a 3.8/3.9 OHV V6 Mustang has a T-5 that would work.

[@michaelcann280]

Fantastic car wow. Great man yore grandfather to would loved to shake his hand, I'm in the UK and British born, now 68 yrs. as a kid ( kid !6 yrs ) i worked full time in a motor auto shop and my main job was cleaning old break shoes and re lining them with rivet's again we hand new lining for 60 odd British cars other jobs were make up replacement inner speedo cables, making new sets number plates we also stocked diaphragm's and valves kits for fuel pumps lol,. Later years i went on to become a mechanic 4 yrs, and a manager for at a large auto parts centre. good old days haha, grat vlog,

[@macrandalljr8828]

I love that car and your Grandfather.

[@cshafer4577]

Your grandpa is awesome Very kool

[@Mrintelligent2025]

You have a amazing Grandpa. And that's a beautiful car .

[@Helge198]

Thats a CAR dude, love it

[@Ray56z]

Memories! I vote for your G'dads 302 idea if you have to replace the motor. From '74 through '81 me, and what I claimed as my brother, road hunted fence rows in N.E. Mo. and bought every '34-'49 GM worth dragging out of the fields. We'd buy every 289-302 motor and automatic from every junkyard we could get our hands on. Yep, they went in all those chevys, ponchos, buicks-and were put in right-wasn't any cobbling like your G'dads car was when he dragged it home. I know one '39 chevy, 4 door(suicide rears)was still on the road 3 years ago. Wasn't the only conversions we did, lot of others. Neighbor blew his '66 GTO, girlfriend totaled the '70 Road Runner he then bought to drive. Wasn't anything hurt with the 440 and 727 so in the GTO they went. His G'daughter drives that car today. Farmall F-20's, only chevy powerplants we every used. Old 283's and 327's nearly bolted into them. New sub, going to be a loyal viewer-great content. Followed you from Junkyard Digs and the Stang II episode.

[@craigbowley6783]

That old air compressor is awesome👍

[@lrrowley]

Your grandpa is the coolest guy! This was a fun video

[@carldyck5557]

Awesome to see you spending time with your grandpa! I was lucky enough to spend with mine when he was around.😊

[@johnsarian_cu]

Excellent teamwork. Gotta say after seeing so many Ford hotrods with SBCs I'm all for putting a flathead Ford in a Chevy LOL. Also funny guessing how long the project took - from sandals and shorts to flannels and knit caps!

[@papotorres9064]

Wow love these videos , you are one lucky guy , being able to live these moments with your grandpa , hope you can tell these wonderful stories to your kids or future kids , many years and good heath to your grandpa , hats off to you for sharing this gem of a video with us , Alfred NYC/PR.

[@ShopKatIndustries]

This is what my channel wants to be when it grows up! Cheers!

[@ronaldyoungberg9933]

Loved this one and the knowledge that your grandfather was giving us on the old car tech was priceless.

[@christiangoulden4399]

Really good format, you and grandpa. Brings back memories

[@friguy4444]

I must say when I finally get a video recommendation from your channel I'm rarely disappointed! How precious are our grandpas! Out Grandmas and the relationships we have with them! They are filled with more love and understanding than we even are thinking they know about. But they do and they want to give it! The wealth of knowledge and time he has to give to spend with his grandson is precious to him as well. He wants a good life for his grandson and can maybe not make the mistakes he made with his son and/or daughter! That's what they/we become as we learn life is for love not for ourselves but for loving those we love! If you know Jesus you will know you will see him again! Have a good look into the bible and find out what the truth of this life actually is! It's Love!

[@jasonlovesanythingcars3579]

Great job from grand pa!!!!! Now you can pass it on. As well as anyone who watches this video

[@robertvance1873]

Always a Blast to see one of your Videos and I enjoy your grandpa he's a Hoot 🤣 and Please be careful out there Protecting the Streets. Till next time my Friend 👍

[@unnatural1279]

Such an awesome thing to watch.

[@inked4life309]

Grandpa a great guy. Good video, beautiful ride too

[@claztube]

OMG John, this was my first ever day on your channel thanks to your colab with JYD and the 'Dorito' snowmobile by ARTICAT'. This was just so endearing to us old guys. Thanks John for taking us with you and your Gramps. Please don't remove that flathead form this Chevy. I guess if it is too worn out to be useful we would understand, but isn't there a chance to have it refreshed and kept as the powerplant bc of HIS'story is or would be just too much of a loss once you R&R the flathead. It sounded like it was or is a nice running powerplant.

[@icerazar713]

Your grandpa had me cracking up with some of his comments. "No self respecting hot rodder would put a Ford engine in a Chevy" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@allensnook7760]

Priceless times fer sure,be a good time for a wash n buff before heading back to storage for gramps time machine.nice to still got time spent with him,hes a man of many hats as we obviously see.too bad no ice cream shops or burger stops anymore but we get it.its near ski season time to get them ready!!!snookie pa.💥👍😜✌️💥

[@01FozzyS]

Enjoying your videos with your grandpa,John. That's one nice car he has! It's survived time.

[@gregvanderboom5011]

Seeing the hole in the lower part of the grill for the hand crank used to start the engine reminds me of a joke my Dad love to tell. Johnny shared to the class that on the way to school today we hit a pig running down the road and the hand crank went up the pigs ass. The teacher said "Johnny we don't use that word, we say rectum". Johnny said, "RECTUM?, Hell it killed him". Dad would have been 99 last week. Thank you for the video I enjoyed it.

[@goldenrustorbust]

That’s a good joke 😂 might have to use that

Great to see you back on and working with your grandpa.

[@kentoushi55]

Awesome video, man. Great times with pops too.

[@snoopu2601]

This would be the first 1935 Chevy with a Ford flat head in it usually it's the other way around Ford with a Chevy engine in it. The flat head sound good! my Pop's told me they are the best engine at the time. That's what everyone was hoping up.

[@shawnkelley9169]

That's such a beautiful car
