1929 ROADSTER PICKUP FROM JUNK PART 2

[@scossum148]

Amazing! I would have never guessed the back of the cab would come from an old race car! You really are a first class scrounger and I love this kind of resourcefulness!!! This is going to be a cool build!

[@richardcline1337]

And NO Chinesium parts anywhere! The after market stuff later on to "dress" it up, maybe, but for the most part, it's all American! You just have to love this level of skill.

[@mikeforney354]

Been watching your channel for 3 years, seeing you build a car from scraps is my favorite for sure. Can't hardly wait for next video

[@drlegendre]

"It's working well." No Jon, *you're* working well. As ever, your sheer talent for this sort of stuff is downright astonishing. Sometimes I think about what you could accomplish if you actually had some real money to spend - but then I realize that would just break your stride and screw up everything.

[@waynegouin939]

Hi Jonathan. My Grampa had two A pickups. Maybe that's why I love the old Ford's so much. I'm 62 yrs old retired mechanic. I had some very good teachers and bosses, I was lucky to be surrounded by good folks. I really enjoy watching you build a hot rod from junk and scrap. Thanks! Someday your hot rods will be collector's items.

[@dangoodall-williams4200]

You are a genius. Seriously, anyone that can take junk and actually make a vehicle out of it, deserves some kind of recognition.

[@robertlee4564]

Jonathan, I am amazed you can fabricate sheet metal pieces, for your truck, from parts from different cars. You have a great imagination that all of us can learn from. Great job !!!!

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

I'm runnin'out of words meanwhile! It's simply ingenious what Johnathan W. does/creates. 👍👌👏 Best regards, luck and health to all of you.

[@derrillbalshaw1199]

Just love your eye for detail.The way you can see something in nothing and turn a scrap piece of metal and turn it into something that you need for the build. You and "Rat Rob Bob Builds" are on a par with each other in talent, skill and knowledge in building a car from scrap. Love watching all your videos.

[@lateefcarrere1649]

I can barely wait for the finished product. It's like Jonathan wakes up, takes a look around his yard - and a few weeks later, there's a new vehicle built. Awesome.

[@keithperry8098]

[@johnapel2856]

Hey, that is starting to look...like a car! Wow! Making progress. Amazing work as usual. This video flew by. That 11 minutes seemed to last about 3 minutes. Good to see Ninja Catscan back on the job. Meow. Thanks!

You continue to astound me! I know this for sure, I would not have attempted something like this unless I were not insane. Last time I went to the psychiatrist he told me that there were a lot of things that were wrong with me, insanity was not, if I remember, one of them. You're doing a great job Jonathan.

There are many shades of yellow - not just bright canary yellow. Yellow hides a multitude of body sins and weirdnesses. I like Chrome Yellow if I was to chose one. That was the color of the old-time Cyclone board-track racing motorcycles. www.jstokstad.com/Legends/Motorcycle.com/Photo_Gallery/Full_Size_Files/OD9P0649.JPG I also like the glorious blue color that the YALE board-track racing motorcycle was painted. 1.bp.blogspot.com/-zqllFhRqhRo/TgvYlHT3jNI/AAAAAAAACvE/3wkHD9j9pAA/s1600/Yale%2BBTR2.JPG Blue was a popular hotrod color in the 50's. Tiffany Blue is also beautiful. cdn.pursuitist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/245280.jpg Italian cars of the late 1930s also used light blues such as this Alfa Romeo i.ytimg.com/vi/NsPnYk5EyuA/maxresdefault.jpg What a car to have back then compared to the American offerings. Personally - I think Jonathans hotrod roadster pickup truck would look good light blue, with a blue engine, wide whitewall tires on model A wire wheels and a dark blue or brown-tan interior. NO WOOD GRAIN. It's his build - and he can paint it any color he decides - we viewers have no say on the matter.

[@mikec6892]

Once again Jonathan is making something awesome from almost nothing. Great video thanks for sharing.

[@blk77sunshn]

J.W. U DID IT AGAIN ! From what I heard the back panel was stamped in Monte Carlo. Back in '32 wasn't? Just kiddn, the body line matches seamlessly! You really are skilled, keep up the good work, if you need supplies us/we and them can help out u know. In fact I live in NC. I would be more than happy to do a care package air drop (no contact to keep everyone virus free) just want to keep the master D'avinci well supplied, at least I and prob. others really appreciate the hard work you put into the projects and time to make videos. Thanks again keep em going!

[@jimmyj2563]

This brings back memories of building an A roadster pickup in the 1990s here in Australia, built from the remains of a tourer and I used the tourer back for the rear of cab. Power was 8ba flathead and c4 through a Volvo diff. Car was put together in 7 weeks and a small budget and was fun! Sadly I had to part with it due to my son getting very sick and requiring expensive medical care but I enjoyed it while I had it! We still have him and he’s building his own A now👍🏻👍🏻

[@dordor718]

Looking good Jonathan...every morn I tune in to see your progress...you amaze me most of the time....

[@MartsGarage]

Wow Jon it's really taking shape. My Model A Roadster "Old Rusty" wasn't as bad as that but was still pieced together from odd parts. Seeing those sub rails and all the clamps made me think of it. Thanks for posting up these short videos Jon it's great to watch. Mart.

While I'm wasting my time sleeping, Jonathan is building something worthy of a moon landing😉

[@Eigil_Skovgaard]

Contrary to the LM this actually works. It you have ever examined the Moon landing/ascending module in dept you would realize that that vehicle would never be able to support the survival of two men in nearly absolute vacuum and exposed to 240 miles times two space radiation. Can't even be done today.

[@micheltebraake7915]

You build a car out of material that other people had already thrown in the scrap yard because they couldn't do anything with it. This is again a true piece of art.

[@gryfandjane]

Another great project! Loving this one so far.

[@miket.3144]

Jonathan, one of the coolest things about your projects is your unique engine choices. I know you said you like old engines. Me too!!! I like to see stuff you don't see every day. We used to pull 4 cyl class mini-modified tractors. Everyone was running 2.3 L Pinto engines. Ours had a Subaru boxer engine. It was a crotch rocket. Keep up the great content Jonathan. I look forward to every video. Oh yeah.......I'm pulling my hair out waiting to hear that old Caddy with finished glasspack exhaust.

[@daveb5016]

This is turning into a roadster factory. Great work Johnathan, loving the daily videos.

[@regsparkes6507]

Maybe a good nick name for this project should ( or could ) be "The Phoenix" ?

Jonathon you turned this around very quickly! It is looking like a roadster pick up sitting on the concrete! You have the eye and skills for these classic body"s!. Very Nice work

[@StarlightWorkshop0z]

You the man!! Just an idea, the existing front door posts, could you lay them back a bit and do the window frame the same angle? Maybe put a little swinging 1/4 window in the door. Anyway your toy and its rocking.

[@Jddvs]

That pile of metal parts is actually shaping up into something that resembles a roaster pickup! Just goes to show that if it is in Jonathan’s mind, it’s going to happen and done well. Magical !

[@TomHKruse]

You remind me of my older brother in the 50's. We lived near a few junk yards. He was always dragging bits and pieces home and somehow ending up having a car to drive to school by summers end. Love watching you work, like going home.

45 years ago I bought the land that I live on. Out in the woods is a Model T frame with the fire wall, fenders and running boards on it. You make me think I could have car running in a couple weeks ! You could I'll still be dreaming ! There's also a pile of panels, mostly rust, buy the back panel still had the plate bolted to it ----- 1917 ---- probably junked 103 years ago. No mechanical parts around.

[@snoopu2601]

I like watching you guys build car's truck's out of what ever you guys can get on the low budget and make something nice that any one would want to own. Keep on keeping on. It's taking me a long time just to build me a welding table. I'm working with what I have on hand I didn't go out and buy any of it. When some one is tossing our scrap metal I get it and cut it to the sizes I need. Now that I have got the wheels to mount to the table I can weld it together and paint it so it don't rust out from sitting out side

[@brucefelix5992]

Like one of the folks below said I remember you said you didn’t like the fit of the other roadster. I was helping paint a bed room today when I notice the shape of my roller tray was shaped like of the recessed well in the floor some cars use to add headroom without raising the roof. It lowers your butt a few inches. Side pipes will hide any external signs of the mod. Although I’m sure you have considered this type solution already, I just thought I’d run it by you. It just may help you get the fit you wanted, to sit a little lower in the car without changing it’s outside fit.

[@mrnobody6573]

I think I would keep the front door posts & make roll up windows like a model A cabriolet with like a lift off top out of cloth or fiberglass since you are making solid windshield posts like a closed car anyway. Just a thought.

Love watching your videos. Because of you I just accepted a 1926 Dodge Brothers Coup 126.

[@n1r0l]

Stupid question: Have you checked to see if there is enough room for a steering wheel, transmission tunnel, and seat? I wonder if you will be riding on this truck or in it? I know you didn't like the other roadster because it was too small in the cockpit. I fear this one may have the same problem, especially with the straight 8 making a long front end. You will figure it out, I don't doubt you, just wondered...

[@mrnobody6573]

I was thinking the same thing before he even cut the first panel. You have to build a car so you can fit in it & drive it comfortably. When I built my chopped & channeled T coupe I got the seats I was going to use & sat in it for fit before cutting so I wouldn`t make it too small to fit in.

[@jimmyj2563]

Yep they can get a bit cozy if you are tall.. my sons A is on a 120mm longer chassis ( in front of the cowl) so we didn’t have to recess the firewall .. he is over 6 foot and position of steering column and pedals has been done so his big feet can fit.too

[@lskiller1903]

Now if he lacked room in the other factory sized roadster, don't we think he has considered that when he built the extensions behind the doors. And as far as the width of the cab, the cowl width dictates that to a certain extent.
