Impala, Citroen Updates, "My Classic Tire", and Dean's "New" Buick!

[@coldwarmotors]

Hi everyone! This week I got to hang out with Dean and check out his new car when he dropped off a hood for the 1951 Packard! All hands on deck for the Citroen DS project before we hit the road for Montreal, and a terrific example of a Classic Atlas Weathergard snow tire from the 50s! Thanks also to everyone who subscribed to our channel here, and thanks also for all of your "likes" and comments!

Hey, I once did Edmonton to Dorchester New Brunswick in 48 hours. 4,697 km You need two drivers and one needs to spend 7 hours, Sault St Marie to Ottawa, during the night, doing 90+ mp/h. He also needs to do about 38 hours of the driving. Google says 48 hours but doesn't account for every minute stopped getting gas makes it hard to keep a 100 km/h average.

[@basvanderhoek9293]

After 65 years of loving the DS-19, I am still perplexed how Citroen ever got this project of the ground. Nothing to do with like and/or dislike, the complexity of how this vehicle was mass produced.( Not a single car has the same amount of spot-welds). My friend Pat is restoring one and yesterday I studied the forged suspension arms ( same on the SM) Not once have I seen a "bend" one. They move on needle bearings. As Scott pointed out, the rubber they used had to be one of the best qualities on earth . I wish you smooth sailing en route to YUL. Greetings from a warm YVR, The paint job on the car is almost sinful , the leather is delicious, what a beautiful job you boys did, Chapeau! Bas.

What a treat! Tom's car is absolutely stunning. Hope he can keep it inside. Good to see him back. You are a very kind man Scott to help him out. Dino is something else-quite the Santa with the hood and tire-Thanks Dean! Please put logs or tires or bricks under the rear of that Chrysler. I realize you are not going to fix her-but she deserves better than with her back on the ground! Thanks for that. The DS-there are no words to describe with full attention what YOU and your helpers have built. A lot of miles to drive her . But better than a trailer. What are you going to do with the FRANKERS-taking her?? I sure she would love the leather. No apologies about future videos needed. Totally understood. Just know you make my weekend by sharing as well as others also I am sure! Thank you again Scott-be safe and well! Rich

Being the owner of a 48 flathead Ford V8 coupe ( New Zealand assembled out of Commonwealth plant in Canada) I stumbled across your episode with the 41 Merc cpe (something we did not get here because of the war). Since then I've just about watched all your other ones. Love the Fury build, you are a true craftsman. We got Canadian Chrysler products here too, as a kid, a bloke up the road owned a 61 Desoto Diplomat a yellow and cream one which left a big impression on me. There was also a light green Dodge version around ( not sure what the Canadian model name was but I remember older "kingsway"s). Keep them coming as I look forward to your updates. That Dean is a laugh and a half too. Best wishes from New Zealand.

At 12:07 - Here in Brazil we say that these tires that are quite worn are from the "Kojak" brand. It is a joke that makes reference to the police TV series of the 70s, whose protagonist was the actor Telly Savalas whose character had that name and was bald ....

I really don't recall how I came across your channel, but it has become one of my favorite times of the week when your videos arrive! First off, I can't begin to say how amazing it is that you can do the level of bodywork you do! I have never seen this type of work, and I appreciate you "inviting" me in to see what is involved. Your methods really ARE amazing. Second, I love the variety (segments) you include on your videos...those are fun! And Frankers is a good host ;) Finally, something about your mannerisms and speech remind me SO much of my older brother who raised me (and who passed in 2001)...there HAVE been times when you've said something that actually made me gasp and rewind a bit to see if I'd heard what I thought. So...thank you for the fun, and for reminding me of good things, Scott. Tell the agents thank you for the fun, and give Frankers a treat from me!

[@charlesatwell6658]

Scott you should spend the time sometime cleaning all your collector cars tires with westleys bleach white and then soak them in tire shine to slow down the rotting process! Also would be a good idea to slather a little used oil around the glass and under the trim! I am amazed your cars hold up so well in Canada. Those cars have been gone in Virginia since the 70's, they just totally rot down here from humidity I guess!

Did anyone else get a palpable "French vibe" when you first look at a pudel with a nice hairdo, than you dive in to a DS engine compartment, and finally we get a look inside said DS with the narrator pointing out details with a lit cigarette...oh lal a! And another thing, if people at future car shows ask -Where was this wonderful DS built? And you show them a photo of Dean sitting in his "new" forklift in front of the shop and the yard surrounding it, they'll look at you funny and call you a liar...LOL! I love it!

Looking great mate! I like the dash in Deans Buick,. it's one of those VFD things I always bang on about with the stuff I do. Also great to see a new hood for the Packard, so you didn't like the fit of the one we put there? haha... it does look more complete and the headlights will make it look far better on the lot. The DS is so close, but there's all the small stuff that keeps showing up that reminds us there's still more to do - running down to the wire now, you'll love coming home after the trip and seeing an empty space. Cheers and say hi to all your friends for me, cheers.

[@mikemullay5622]

Tom picked an excellent car to restore. The frame looks solid. And the aftermarket is full of sheet metal pieces for these cars. And like your Fury, if Tom wants to take the restoration that far, that Impala is a high dollar car when restored.

Hi Scott. The hood fairy! Excellent. I'm looking forward to Dean's Tbirds. Road trip, much needed vacation. Tom's Chevy needs a radiator and heater core. Floorboards might be a challenge for him.

Some version of Dean is sitting on the shoulder of every car lover reminding us of our roots. He may not have the technical and financial resources some of us have built up over the years, but he is completely honest about who he is> he is 110% dedicated to his cars (lives a hard life for them)> and there's no question they'd be fucked without him! Popular/valuable or not, they're a lot nicer to look at in one piece than smashed into a cube and he's saved a ton of them, bless his big goofy heart.

Those spring helpers we call “knuckle busters”. We used to raise the front ends of pickup trucks with these to make them level. You put them in with a socket wrench and twist, hence the knuckle buster.

[@omarjette3859]

Many of the posts mention the Citroën and the spring spacers on the Chev. What I've never seen on anyone's DS videos is the simple though ingenious mechanism that adjusts the oil feed to keep the car level no matter the load. It is easy enough to see from inside the trunk after removing a metal panel. Small torsion rods are anchored to the centers of front and rear anti-roll bars. The end of each rod has a small lever arm inside a cover in the wheel well. The lever arm works a spool valve with oil feed and release tubes in the body. When a load is added, the roll bar turns, moves the lever arm, the valve puts more oil in the suspension, (technical term = oleo struts). As the axles drop, car rises, the roll bars turn/torsion rods/levers shut the oil flow off. As the car moves down the road some oil pressure is lost, so one can hear the main pump cycle on and off to intermittently re-adjust/maintain the pressure in the central accumulator. This circuit also connects to the brakes, so that braking pressure adjusts to axle loading. Also runs the power steering. A separate pump runs the gear shifting and (i think) the de-clutching, which is modulated by a sensor/valve in the throttle linkage. Riding in the car one may hear funny noises like slurp, hiss, gurgle, jingle, jingle.

[@jemtec1]

When I used to sell auto parts back in the 90s, you could buy spring lift kits that would raise the front end an inch or so on most coil springs. Like the ones Tom has on his 60. You would set them in (preferably on 2 sides of each spring) and turn the 1/2 inch head to lock in place. Id sell them once in awhile, but they were good for restoring a bad sagging spring to a better ride height so the shock could do its job.

The Citroen looking nice! When I was kid in the mid-70's, a neighbor had, I believe, a '60 in their garage in storage. I remember it was a coral color with a white roof. I loved the space-age chrome rocket lights on the roof. I wonder what ever became of it. The '60 Impala is sweet. I personally wouldn't put the dual pipes out the back. I find that extremely cliché with '50's-'60's cars. I would have duals, but coming downwards at the corners of the rear as original. Also, the original moderately wide whites is a must. That era car with thin whites or black-walls is blasphemy :)
