MODEL T AND ROADSTER UPDATE

[@roblenzz7966]

I wouldn't care if you started 50 projects, i'd watch you start every one and learn something every time! Thanks for sharing

[@davidtappe5337]

Hell yeahs brother!! JW for president.!!!

[@kylegreen3728]

JW always has something up his sleeve to make a job easier or look at something differently. Hope you health gets better!

[@wesbuhr548]

I'm right along with you. It's so cool seeing someone to take the time to put junk that 10 years ago would pass up. And he is putting it back on the road Safely.

[@chrisvance4011]

Why would you question this man he is sharing and teaching stay healthy sir

[@effulge]

This is my very first KZbin comment, ever. I felt I needed to let you know that (especially during this covid nonsense) watching your videos is a significant part of my week. I am absolutely impressed with your encyclopedia of knowledge, and your common-sense approach to the builds you make! I honestly consider you a very wealthy man! I watch your videos partly because of my addiction to learning (educated myself through graduate school), but primarily because of your artistry, and ability to explain and teach in such a calming manor. Please keep up the work, and be sure to take care of your health my friend. - Ron

[@stevelangston2359]

Here here so true

[@dickjohnson1158]

Let me on that bandwagon, I’m with you , I think the man is some kind of genius, the man can do most anything to these old cars . I’m always impressed.

[@86lowrider]

Same here, I was actually wondering why there were no new videos. I know there’s health issues and was hoping that things had not taken a turn on Jonathon. It’s very strange how a kinda of friendship develops with some of these channels even though you’ve never met. You look forward to seeing the content AND the commentary from the person. Almost like waiting for company (someone you like lol) coming. We learn their back stories, how they grew up, what ideals they have etc. Thousands of people feel they know Jonathan even though they’ve never met. Way to much negativity right now for people to nitpick a “how I do it” video. They need to sit back shut up watch and learn or like he said click it off.

[@effulge]

@Round Robin Is craziness better for you? Oddity maybe? Something we have never seen before, does that work? Here let me break out my thesaurus so I can find something for you: Anomaly?Horribleness? Nastiness maybe? Crummy! that one is easy to understand! Miserable! THAT one has to work for you right? Sorry folks, I normally make a point of avoiding the comments section because of people like that right there.

[@jketch1]

Round Robin I don’t think anyone thinks lost lives is nonsense it I do think people, including myself, think the media hype (over coverage) of it is NONSENSE! Why would anyone question someone on the issue. I can’t think of anyone that thinks loss of life being nonsense. Sorry I’ll jump off my soapbox now.

[@spaert]

There's no question why we're all watching - what you manage to cobble together is pretty amazing to see. Something from nothing, all the time. I personally fix things all the time but building from scratch? Beyond me so far. So don't worry about us, we're hanging in there. Sorry your health is knocking you around - that's a bugger. But hang in there and don't let it get you down - you need your natural optimism to help the recovery along. It's been proven that a good attitude helps the body heal. We'll hang in there with ya, you do the same.

[@DennisMurphey]

PLEASE never mind the naysayers you are doing just fine. Everything you do is just fine. Many of us just adore your work and ethics and creativity. Water off a ducks back. You know that. Take care, now i will watch the rest. D

[@zephyrold2478]

I second that.

[@markbauman1411]

I agree completely. And your wealth of knowledge amazes me. I just hope I'm absorbing some of it

[@williamstrausner9063]

You are a true teacher, wealth of old car knowledge and craftsman/ machinist / welder/ fabricator/ designer . I greatly enjoy watching you design in your head a car without any drawing just your dream . I'll be praying for the doctors and God will return you to a healthy man again. Figured you weren't feeling well when no videos were posted . Al

[@pappabob29]

Hey Jonathan: Take care of your health. Like you, before I retired, my living depended upon my being "out there" doing physical labor. That means your health as well as staying "injury free" is primary towards maintaining your lifestyle and taking care of your family. What I'm trying to advise from my "advanced years" is take care of Jonathan first and foremost because you can't take care of, or help, anyone else if you aren't healthy. Good luck at your Hospital visit and we're here for you. 👍👍👍👍

[@zephyrold2478]

If others can't see that switch the channel! BTW: My prayers are going out to you and your family Jonathan (and CatScan) !!! ...Newk from Kentucky PS I hate to see bad comments get you down! I'm sure that's what stopped the Drag Car Project.

Get well Johnathan. I love how you take nothing and make a car . That's y I watch. Well that and the one eyed cat where I've learned to love. Oooooooooh analyzer . Just checks out your progress. If it's good enough for your inspector then you can move on. You really impress me on your builds for sure. Don't change nothing!!!!!

[@ianallen2]

I love the way you build with original parts and having to 'adjust' them a little to fit. Most of the moaners wouldnt know what a wrench or a screwdriver feels like in their hands. Stay safe Jonathan. Keep doing what you do. We all like it that way. Wishing well health to you and your family.

[@markbrown1061]

Hi Jonathan. I will tell you why I watch your videos. You are very talented old school. I really enjoy watching you make a car from basically nothing. Please keep it up. Please record more of you actually doing the work and not the finished job. If people don’t understand why you do it the way you do, they never will. Please give update on all your projects. 1, motor bike build. 2. Dragster build. 3. Franklin. Thank you again. Being shut in during this virus, this old man has enjoyed your videos. Just wish they were longer. I am retired after 41 years on the same job so I know about making living to support your family. Take care my brother and enjoy your hobbies

[@tonycompton6690]

[@tomrolando6115]

I had a good friend that bought everything from a catalog for his track T. It looked good but we all called it a 1 800 car. I can’t believe the results you get from someone’s throw away junk. You amaze me. Take care.

[@chrisdreyer8747]

Why I watch... 1. I’m learning stuff that I’ve always been curious about. 2. You remind me of a fella that I worked with, he came out of the Oklahoma oil fields and could make machines run on piss and bailing wire. 3. I’ve always considered myself a problem solver and made a good living at it, and I truly appreciate how you reason to overcome that most people would walk away from.

If I have to explain it to you then you wouldn't understand it anyway. That my friend is it, that is all you needed to say. I Love It! I sure hope you get to feeling better Jon. It sure would be a shame to lose your videos for any reason. Whoever has anything negative to say about your work ought to go play with the dogs.

[@detcarguymichigan4021]

Hi Jonathon, I guess you can say I'm very old school, I'm 64 years old. I watch you because I love to see you take these old parts of bodies and mechanicals, to literally save them and put them together to go down the road! Personally I think using parts from cars made 50 to 100 years ago gives your project car an old soul, some heart. I love antiques of all kinds, I like to use them and enjoy them. They have a story, experience. Like my 1948 Mix Master, been using it for 40 years, got it for a dollar at an estate sale! Anyway I also love old cars and their history. I think you're amazing, how you fabricate and put these old parts that were left to rust away back into a car and these parts are going down the road again, like they were meant to do. I love watching you do a first start on an engine that was abandoned, they always seem eager to start and run, to come back to life! It kind of gives an old guy like me some hope that I've still got plenty of miles to go!!! I hope you are feeling well soon!!! Thank you for continuing your great videos!!!

[@MechWizzard]

Do what you want, when you want. Screw 'em. :o)

[@kiesh.]

"If I have to explain to someone why I rebuild these old bodies instead of buying new, they're not gonna get it anyway".. you get satisfaction from the achievement, and we get the pleasure of seeing the journey. It's akin to "why bother home cooking when you can buy a ready meal", it's just a dumb thing to ask a guy like Jonathan.

[@dbm0456]

JW you could post a video of you folding a box and explaining each step and I’d enjoy it. Keep doing what you’re doing and look after yourself.

[@edwardmartin4894]

In my many years of doing various stuff, I have always found that there will be somebody that does not agree with the way you are doing something, and the Internet now gives them the opportunity to say something about it. Just keep on doing what you are so good at, and ignore the naysayers and armchair builders. I will not hesitate to shout to the world that you are a fabrication wizard. You have the eye and the skill to see what is possible and then make it happen. I am constantly amazed at how well your fabrications turn out. Keep it up for us poor souls that can no longer do this kind of work. We really appreciate it......:D Oh yes, that 90-degree grease fitting......I would have used a 45-degree fitting (easier to get a grease gun nozzle on if you have it up in the air while you are greasing the front end)....lol....

[@stevenwithanS]

Hope all is well and you feel better soon. I love that comment you made, "If I had to explain that to you, you wouldn't understand anyway". Perfect.

[@jamesstrahan5130]

Jonathan when I could walk my dad sat me up on top a tractor and had me taking out head bolts. I still have a lot to learn from your videos. I found out in life that people dont always share your dreams. I know it matters to you what your viewers think, because you want to share yourself and you are passionate towards the welfare of others. However your viewers have spoken loudly to you and highly appreciate and approve of you despite the troublemakers. I have to deal with bronchitis on a constant schedule. Your first impression is one of those that speaks good friend. I'm praying for your healing and recovery. Don't worry about how fast you get us another video, just heal up and enjoy family. We will catch you when you're ready. GOD bless you!

*You are supporting another man with an inspiration that will help him work with his son. What wisdom you have Jonathan. What grace do you show us all. What creativity do you bring through hard work so that a friend can broaden a relationship that is precious. What efforts do you put forth to educate us, encourage us, and entertain us. That you, for the polite and kindly way you address those who know no other way than to make others wrong (if, indeed, that was their purpose), or the respectful way you support their worry for you if that was the reason the spoke up. Good on you, Sir.*

[@jamesstafford7467]

Some people just don't get it when it comes to this stuff. I know you love to help your fellow man out when it comes to building. Sorry you've been under the weather. Pray you get to feeling better soon. In Jesus name. Keep doing what you do, how you do it. Leave that other stuff just blowin in the wind. Love you brother. God bless.

[@lateefcarrere1649]

First & foremost, I'd like to thank you for taking the time to record the projects that you're working on - they are interesting & informative to a idle gearhead like me. I hope that you are on the road to recovery, & that you are taking the time you need for yourself. These keyboard heroes haven't got the slightest idea what they're talking about, but they are really quick to tell you you're doing it wrong. You're not only building your car, but getting a friend's car build started, & working a tough job as well. Keep doing what your doing when you feel well enough to do it & record - the people that truly care will wait. The rest of them should take up knitting.

[@michaelo2107]

Get well Jonathan!! We will still be here watching when you get back!

[@mercsmith]

You are to hard on yourself, I find it interesting that the people that want to question your every move don’t even know why you do what do. 90% of your viewers don’t have the ability or the vision to build the cool cars like you do and build then in the traditional way on a budget. I wish I had 10% of your skills to me you are the man.

I saw a poster years ago. It said," Hot Rodders - America's First Recyclers ". How true. The skills you demonstrate are rapidly becoming lost as computer automation has taken the need for hand skills away from our civilization.

please don't let folks rude comments bother your creative endeavors. I do enjoy your educational videos. I am an old person that was a teenager that purchased an old Studebaker, Non running, drug and pushed it home to see if I could make a first start in years and make a daily driver, I was proud of the old car that people laughed and scoffed at me for "dragging that piece of junk home for." Once it was road worthy, guess what, they then wanted a ride to somewhere, in my piece of junk. Oh, that old studbuster needed was the fiber timing gear underneath the timing cover. A learner project for myself and the naysayers too. So Jonathan, don't worry about taking your drug home rust adventures home and turning scrap into your true friends long awaited treasure. Sure I do not have the environment to challenge myself. So I vicariously stand with you, Sir. Thanks for sharing the joy with all of us out here behind the computer screen and dream of doing as well as you do. Enjoy and stay safe. Your friend,

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt Jonathan, for what it is worth, I see you as the hero TR is referencing. Don't give another thought to the person sitting at his laptop in his underwear at 3 AM doling out criticism and advice. I find myself, every morning, checking KZbin to see what wonderful content you have in store. Do what you like, when you like, in your own time. Many of us look forward to seeing it.

Vintage parts that are beyond restoration deserve salvation for creative car builders. I prefer to see beautiful restorations but it isn't always feasible. Keep on with your passion and build subscribers. You da man.

I like watching because of your down to earth , easy going approach. And your mad skills. I try to apply what I’ve learned from these videos to my own projects. Hope you’re feeling better soon.

[@barneyeckert9702]

I've been watching your videos for about four years, and I'm always learning something. Each time your video comes out, its like Christmas morning. So get well soon and I'll look forward to the next one.

[@kentowens2179]

Good video, I enjoy each and every one you put on. Stay after it, and keep 'em coming! Take care of yourself!

[@chrishorbatt3504]

Wow I must have missed something. I watch your videos as soon as they come out ,love watching the fab work, totally get why your starting with what you do. If I had the skill and patience I would do the same.

[@shaynelowther8893]

Phew, i was just about to drop you a line because on the last video you said you did not feel good and then a video popped up. So glad to see you are OK. Its your channel you do whatever you like the moaners can go take a long walk off a short pier. Cheers.

[@stevehoffman9875]

Appreciate your honesty, your skills and abilities. You’re a true renaissance man. Don’t watch tv anymore cause I don’t see very much worth while to watch. Keep going and doing it your way. That’s what makes it better.

Hope your doing well my friend!

Hi, Jonathan, I'm glad to see you back into your projects, even when they are part of some body else's project (that just give us some extra entertainment). It's great that you are able to find the time to help out a friend when you can. I think that you use the really delapidated parts just to show that you CAN make them work out and get a feeling of special satisfaction over being able to accomplish the "impossible". Thank you for sharing, God Bless, stay safe and Meow to Ninja Catscan.

Thanks for the video. Rest of the couch producers, do your own projects and leave Jonathan alone. Its great that he swaps around on projects. Gives y'all brain exercise. Something you are apparently lacking. Duh.

[@SUPERTRUCKER84]

Jonathan: I am so relieved to see your post today. I've been really concerned. I'm sorry you're not feeling well. Like many others I am praying for a speedy & complete recovery. As for your videos. I don't always agree with what you build but it's your ideas and concepts so that means it's right. That's what hot rodding is all about. You amaze me with your talent and ability, and your ability to teach others. Please take care of yourself and we will be patiently waiting for the next video. God bless you my friend.

Hope you get feeling better, going through an illness myself and some days are just harder than others to get things done. I personally love how you are building these cars, some of them you are starting with practically nothing. I sure prefer that to watching someone use their credit card and starting with everything new. I always look forward to your videos and when I get through my medical journey would love to talk to you about buying a project. I am in NC and would love to buy something from you! Best to you and yours Jonathan.

[@robames1293]

Best wishes to you as well as Jonathan. If he reads these comments he will know what he means to us. Get well soon fellow buddy of Jonathan.
