Hotrod tudor sedan build ep. 5 ( Saving an old 1930 Tudor Sedan)

[@JAMESTHOMAS-we1pq]

Mike, I always look forward to your next episode! Your descriptions just about put the viewer into the project and make it so easy to follow every step, thank you! Best car show on KZbin.

[@ThisOldHotrod]

I really appreciate that. Thank you. I’ve gotten pretty comfortable talking to the camera. It’s a tough thing to learn. I’m glad my descriptions and explanations help. 🙏🏼.

[@billmiller7138]

Looking good, Mike! Enjoying what you’re doing with this one!

[@ThisOldHotrod]

@@billmiller7138 thanks buddy. I’m humbled by the response. It’s lighting my fire ! 🔥🙏🏼

[@billettinger2171]

Great job Mike it’s nice to have someone that explains things so you can go do it for yourself not just watching some guy slap it together and leaving you to figure out what he did keep doing what your doing a lot of us need it

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thank you. Glad the videos are coming across good and may help people in the future.

[@stevepeuster2857]

You can guaran-damn-tee that I will always be back for a "next" video! Wish I had more money, to help in supporting the channel, but right now, "slow-joe" has me kinda strapped. Keep it going, bud! Love the content.

[@62_C10]

Mike, you are making something very cool out of what most folks would just give up on. The PS door function is no less than amazing given what you started with. Excellent work!

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thanks Bob ! It’s really coming together nicely. Thanks for following along and the kind words. The door is ridiculous. Haha. It’s the best closing door on any car I own 😂. Kinda a head scratcher how it worked out like that. Haha.

[@davidhyson9910]

Exactly! Loved Old Skool Hot Rods my entire life. Never thought I could afford one, but I'll bet I can build one! This is some great content.

[@ThisOldHotrod]

@@davidhyson9910 you absolutely can build one.

[@tonymosca6591]

Mike you are motivating me to get out in the shop and work on things. Retiring on February 1 so it comes at a great time. Thanks!

[@ThisOldHotrod]

That’s great ! Congrats on your retirement 🙏🏼

[@paulvanhouts3365]

Hi Mike, I am retired and enjoy learning new things. Your videos and explanations are of great interest to me. I have not done any body work in my life but your efforts show that if you put your mind to it, use a lot of patience and problem solving anyone could do this if they want. I also like Karl of Make it Kustom, also Brent of Halfass Customs and some of Bad Chads work. I learn from each and enjoy the journey. Thank you for sharing your passion and yes I am digging this.

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thanks so much for the comment and kind words.

[@dadsrustorations5103]

You have become a great teacher Michael. Appreciate you!

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thanks 🙏🏼

[@nicholaschristiani253]

Hope that the business side makes sense in the long term. Tax man is a thorn in every honest persons side.

[@ThisOldHotrod]

I can’t change it so I’m just going to go with it until it doesn’t.

[@stanleyfanning5316]

I watch your videos for the build. I've always liked old hot rods,and guys like you that bring back to life. If you got to sell it then do it. Can't keep them all. Keep up the awesome videos.

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thanks 👍🏼👍🏼

[@davidpark9727]

You make the difficult doable, the impossible takes you longer ! Keep up up saving them one at a time. Those 85 year old bodies deserve saving !

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thank you 🙏🏼. It’s been very rewarding and I’m loving how it’s coming out.

[@lonniebaird2358]

Always a good time watching your videos Mike, look forward to everyone 👍

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@rustysparks8645]

New Year + New Project = Great Content. 👍👍

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Glad you’re enjoying it ! Thank you 🙏🏼

[@knutbkristiansen]

Awesome episode

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thank you so much.

[@mattewiegand9896]

Man it's coming together so quick!

[@ThisOldHotrod]

I’m busting my butt and living every minute of it. It’s gonna be good !

[@donlandenberg8126]

Nice job! Thanks for taking us along. You'll get there, love it so far.

[@ThisOldHotrod]

It’s moving along nicely. Thanks for following along.

[@davidhyson9910]

Thanks for "the talk" it makes all the sense in "my world" anyway. I've never done anything like this, but I have done all the fab things you are doing to this point. That gives me the steam and outlook I didn't have before. I'm grateful. I like the wrap up chats at the end.

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thanks David. I appreciate that. I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos and my little chats at the end. I really like how the build and the video series is evolving. Thank you 🙏🏼 Mike

[@g.o.b.2558]

If you don't use a flat head a early Cadillac 331 would be pretty sweet. Great episode keep the content coming👍

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Problem is. I don’t have an early flathead and they’re not easy to find unfortunately.

[@paulresca6681]

Looks great and interesting business information. Look forward to the next episode. Thanks

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@DroooooopDead]

Looking great buddy

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thank you 😎👍🏼

[@TairnKA]

When I see classic hotrod roadsters, I think of the concept of installing a Corvair engine (with shrouds), instead of a regular one, with the transaxle in back. ;-)

[@ThisOldHotrod]

I’m sorry to hear that. 😁

[@kurtludwig6962]

👍 thanks

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Sure thing Boss !

[@franktwiss6758]

Don't see drive shaft tunnel?

[@ThisOldHotrod]

It’s because there isn’t one. Most of these cars don’t need one if the car sits high enough. If it needs it it’ll get it. But the next guy can do it if I don’t.

[@StreetMachine18]

just found your channel this week and binge watched this series! good build so far. you do you!

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thanks man ! I appreciate it !👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thank you so much. I’m happy people are enjoying this build.

[@block21motorsports]

I like your simple approach. Nice job. 👍🏼

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@svenunland6501]

Awesome work Mike. You made that doors work really nice. I wish, they would have brought up the same quality of work on my 26' back in the 80s

[@ThisOldHotrod]

It took hours off camera messing with the door to get it to work. I’m fortunate I was able to get it to that point. Hoping things don’t move too much when the body comes off.

[@svenunland6501]

@@ThisOldHotrod It looked like hours of work, but it worth the effort. Well done 👍

[@duxhunter78]

Dig the series!! Still believe this would make a sweet Banger.

[@ThisOldHotrod]

I don’t have a banger engine. If I had one it would be an option

[@joelstinson2886]

Love how fast this car is coming together, great work.

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thanks so much !! I’m totally diggin it too. Haha. But I’m not keeping it. 🤣👍🏼

[@dannychiguina3962]

Awesome 👍 job guys I appreciate all your Tips and Tricks and Video build keep your great 👍 Work much obliged

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@Joe.Doucette]

Come on, get on the 34. KIDDING! This build is very useful to many folks, I'm sure. And it's enjoyable to watch. As you say.. you have to treat it as a business and do things right. I hope you weren't out there too late that night and got in trouble. ;) Have fun.

[@ThisOldHotrod]

I’m flirting with danger lately. Hahha. There’s been some late nights in the shop. All the girls are needy 🤣. Doesn’t matter if they have legs or wheels. Hahaha

[@Joe.Doucette]

Hahahha Dangerously true. ;) BTW, I have been folowing you for a couple of years but don't comment much. I enjoy your work and methods. Take care.

[@billyself2743]

Mike you are doing a great job starting to get stronger with each peace you put in it is a lot better than it was and I believe it will make it sell a lot easier because you will have done the hardest part keep up the great work Mike I’m so glad you are back in the shop working because I love watching your video’s and tell your new bride thanks for letting you do your thing

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thank you so much. You guys are all amazing ! You are motivating me as much as I am you ! She’s my biggest supporter 🙏🏼. I’ll make sure I tell her thank you from you ! Mike.

Thanks Mike! Great content.

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@resiliencemotors]

Just recently discovered your channel. Great content! Inspiring! I'm a total noob so your work is helpful! Thanks! 👊 😎

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thanks for following along. I haven’t been doing this too long. Compared to most. I have a hunger for the knowledge and skills. That’s what drives me.

[@MF-rn5os]

Tudor is coming along quickly for only being episode 6.

[@ThisOldHotrod]

I’m really excited for the progress and to show you guys. I’m a bit ahead of the videos. I think you guys are gonna love it. Can’t wait to catch everyone up. Mike

[@w.r.rayborn3954]

Like you're work

[@ThisOldHotrod]

I appreciate it very much. Sorry for the lack of videos. Life has me busy with the real job and family is keeping me busy

[@garyf2245]

it woud be great for a school to pick up where u leave off for the gen

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Not sure how that would work ya know. Most schools wouldn’t have the funds to buy a car to finish it. It would most likely have to be donated.

[@darwinfoster7420]

It's called business .

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Indeed

[@kleinbergers33]

I herd you say that you built a 29 model a. Was it a sedan ? Did you do a video on that car ? How did you deal with the all the wood? I have a 4 door sedan... Help!

[@ThisOldHotrod]

The car is a 29 Tudor sedan. There is a walk around video of it I posted last year or the year before. If you do a search for 29 Tudor sedan walkaround. It should come up. Not a lot of wood in a Tudor

[@terryhodgson8798]

What holds floor to rear quarter panel area? Didn't see anything?

[@ThisOldHotrod]

I didn’t get that far in this episode. That’s Saturdays episode. The frame of the floor is connected to the lower rear panel supports and also the lower part of the side window channels. That was in last Saturdays video. Sheet metal in the rear of the car is coming up next

[@christopherjohnson4733]

Is the body permanently connected to the chassi

[@ThisOldHotrod]

I would be booted from the hotrod hobby if I did that nowadays. I explained the body/sub rails mounting locations on the previous episodes. Not to mention some future coming up. Guess you missed it.

[@christopherjohnson4733]

I did miss it .I know you have it tac in place I wasn't sure what you were gonna do

[@ThisOldHotrod]

@@christopherjohnson4733 I welded the whole sub rail structure (what I could reach) while the body is on. The new floor structure is bolted to the frame and the body was slid down over the new frame work and welded to it. 4 mounts to connect the body. 2 on the trans crossmember and 2 on the rear crossmember.

[@justdale1966]

Thanks for explaining the tax situation to people that don't know about it I found out with a mobile detailing truck after 3 years my tax man told me you can't afford to be in business or you need to make a whole lot more money to pay your taxes welcome to California

[@ThisOldHotrod]

It’s fun isn’t it. 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@INFIDEL82AA]

I'm really wanting to see what's hiding under those car covers. What little I can see... Daddy likey! You have an awesome set-up, by the way. I love your garage, and the way that it's laid-out. Very cool.

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thanks so much man. Far left is a 1930 Coupe Middle is a 29 roadster and my 29 sedan is visible. 😎👍🏼
