Next Shop Project? Random Shoe Box Ford, Plus Model T Progress

This video ends up taking a few left turns. We start off by de-greasing the front axle and motor on the 27 Model T. After the axle was de-greased I got a call from a buddy who wanted to go look at a car. Didn't have to twist my arm to hard so I hopped in the truck and we went to check out a 50 Ford. She needs a little bit of love but we put it on the trailer and brought her home. Once back at my place I finished off the floors on the T, a little bit off an odd video but fun non the less.

Paint always makes everthing look nicer in my opinion

[@DrStickyTits]

The only thing better than buying old junk cars is going with a buddy watching while he wastes his money buying old junk cars 😍

[@DDSpeedShop]

hahaha so true

[@robertwallace4092]

Yes, oven cleaner works great. Cheaper also!

[@imjustsaying8026]

I use oven cleaner. Trim down the shell grill instead of slanting it, and love the axle not painted but maybe would paint the backing plates.

[@tysonwilliams2085]

That 1950 Ford looks solid make a cool cruiser for Mike ,paint the fenders ,get her running check the brakes.enjoy

[@jeffreyc6508]

Paint it, And yes do the FORD!!

[@brianhdueck3372]

Definitely get the 50 running! Have to hear that flathead roll.

[@davidblinn8251]

Please - paint the axle. The body looks great, but you have a good look going with the frame, too, so carry that through the axle.

[@sjp52047]

Definitely a project car. I dated my wife in a 49 ford in 1963. It was a two door. If you happen to know anyone who can convert this from a four door to a two door that would be a good move. Lead sled that rear window a bit. Yeah, a real project car. Regards, Solomon

[@DDSpeedShop]

yeah, a conversion would b kinda cool

[@michaelharrison500]

Great video Yes to the 50 Ford

[@allenrussell7701]

The shoebox looks like a great project. Your T is outstanding Thanks

[@DDSpeedShop]

Thanks 👍

[@reidbarnes9851]

The 'shoebox' Ford is one of my favorite cars. The sketchy trailer loading was amazing and no one was killed or injured during the filming. 👍

[@DDSpeedShop]

haha sotry of my life

[@reidbarnes9851]

@@DDSpeedShop I think most of us that drive sketchy cars do some sketchy operations .😇

[@Sludge73]

Paint the axle. Chop the shell. Fire up the Ford. Keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing.

[@stevecr8934]

Please include Rat Rod Bob in your subscriber area. Best Hot Rod builder I've watched. Magician of metal fabrication. Between you 2 and Jonathan I've learned a ton. Great work on the interior. You gotta get off that kind of work for awhile tedious. I wish I could weld half as good as you guys.

[@donaldk.macbaird5248]

I love those old shoe box Fords

[@brenttuttle2692]

Can't wait to see more of the Shoebox!

[@rickashay6023]

Paint the front axel and chop the grill shell . Love the ford .

[@horshak1]

I like the '50 Ford project

[@dalesakawsky7309]

Oven cleaner works great , it also etches the surface ready for paint when it's dry .

[@DDSpeedShop]

Great tip!

[@Chevyv8man1]

Hey Danny I found in one of my books that it's a 57 thru 66 - 283 2 bolt block.Hope this helps buddy. That's not a bad old Furd your buddy got there. Well worth the swap. I'd like to see that running, I'm guessing it's got a flat head in it so let's see the thing running. Then he can work on it for a week or two and then leave it sit for a year until you buy it. lol - Later

[@DDSpeedShop]

thanks buddy!

[@theozman38]

Same as I found.

[@spikewsspe]

A small difference. A '57 283 block does not have side mounts cast. They were front mounts only.

[@spikewsspe]

Dan, take a look please, I can't tell.

[@Chevyv8man1]

Some of the late 57 had both and almost all of the small blocks had the front mounts up until the late 70s Or should I say they had the bosses for them but didn't always drill them out, but you can. Also don't use a long bolt in the front top mount on the passenger side or you will lock up the fuel pump.

[@wayneguess7946]

Even 4 door shoebox's make nice looking tail dragger customs!

[@MadScientistGarage]

Make that shoebox run!!

[@DDSpeedShop]

haha

[@briquetaverne]

D.D. Call me a purist but I think all under carriage pieces should be black.

[@DDSpeedShop]

its mostly oem haha

[@smartweadsgarage6806]

Oem with rusty flare

[@hydroy1]

@@DDSpeedShop Dan OEM ???? Part number XXXXXXXXX No sorry , we don't have any of them in stock right now , lol . Bartender give me some of what even Dan is having and a set of them BLINDERS he's got!! PS. Steve is such a good boy puttin up with that drone .

[@79beans347]

O.E.M = Old enough mess 🤣😂👍

[@unclelarryboy1608]

I'm thinking paint the axle. And the shoebox; that's on my bucket list of cool cars to own. Sure get it running.

[@1936fordcrazy]

Paint axle black, section the 32 grill and mount it strait is my vote

[@floridian7143]

Paint it and chop the grille!😎🌴

[@robertgregory6315]

It would be nice to see the Ford running.

[@hydroy1]

It would be nice to see ANY ford running ! Why do you think everybody sells kits to put a Chevy in it !

[@shanewright6958]

Cool old Ford... Another great video 👍👍🇨🇱 Yes let get it fired up

[@davidingling9791]

I can't wait to see the running an driving.

[@robbiejones4933]

Definitely wanna see u all get her running

[@garylane6868]

I like the floor. Simple but strong. Not overdone. And yes paint the axle.

[@sidluther5081]

I like the Ford

[@fixit4u73]

I've used that "Totally Awesome" cleaner from the dollar store for degreasing and was very impressed with results (and it's cheap!). Also, 409 works really well.

[@DDSpeedShop]

a few people have said that. ill have to look into it

[@josephacerra5987]

Thanks that was lots of fun. Got to get 4 door going. 👍😎

[@THESNAKE8]

Paint the suspension/drive train stuff, leave the exterior body and shit rusted. Hell i wouldn't even leave the wheels painted. You're an inspiration man! You give me motivation lol

[@DDSpeedShop]

thanks buddy! really appreciatae it

[@weldthatiron3683]

I like that your honest you don't try sugar coat your work i think you do well .

[@DDSpeedShop]

thanks buddy. just show what i do and i know im not perfect hha

[@jamesbutterson5218]

Love the fifty Ford!" 👊💨

[@frankjones4950]

Uh let's see. Don't tilt the shell, section it even with the cowl. Paint the axle AND backing plates a contrasting color (red, white, or even copper). The "shoebox "is screaming to be a early 60's low custom 2 door. And Dannis' gettin the hang of the drone ....whew! There was a lot in that great vid.👍

[@DDSpeedShop]

hahaha thanks buddy! u watched front to back thats for sure

[@rickterrell9728]

i use purple power with dawn dish wash soap added to it . works great the grill looks good leaning

[@waynegouin939]

Hi Dan. I like the old chrome T rad support. Paint the axle. Shoebox Ford's cool.

[@DDSpeedShop]

That's the plan!

[@georgew.morrowiii118]

A video on getting the old shoe box ford running would be cool

[@thomasaschenberg9809]

Man, I love your show you and the Mrs. are an awesome couple. You have some very cool rides.

[@DDSpeedShop]

thanks thomas!

[@unclerick8224]

First things first; Dani makes tacos? A true gourmet! Eat 'till you're sick, yeah! Oh, and yes get the shoebox running. Black satin front axle.

[@davidbrown-bh7it]

Get the Ford running. Cool project. The T is looking good.

[@vet-7174]

Headers came out great !!, old school look !!

[@henryescat1104]

That Ford 4 door is pretty cool!

[@henryescat1104]

The 283 in my dads old 66 Chevrolet step side.. It would smoke the tractor tires..

[@wayneweaver3644]

Paint it Black, pull leather straps on doors for closing and limiting door swing. Looks great

[@oregonhotrod7847]

Word of Warning: Only use high lead gas in those flatheads, otherwise the valves will stick. They need the lead to lubricate the valves. I learned this lesson from my 50 Ford

[@Zazu2You]

Glad you're back!! That Ford will be fun, especially for a Chevy guy!!

[@DDSpeedShop]

haha thanks paul

[@deanlangloss3798]

use a shifter boot to cover the steering knuckle be sure to make a plate to screw it down and your good to go they come in square shape or round and finding the right one in a junk yard is highly likely... keep up the good work.

[@DDSpeedShop]

yeah, good point!

[@harvey1016]

Because there are far fewer fords of that vintage around and it has its own quirky elements it would be great to see it running/driving again.

[@kenswitzer4133]

It is a 1950. Front park lights and no chrome trim around the tail lights. I like this the best of the shoe boxes.

[@fitzeesfabrications]

Dollar store oven cleaner.. cheap and great grease and oil removers. Slow going on the floors. Keep at it. Your getting close.

[@jeffreylevin1266]

Car’s coming along great. You know you need to grab the 50. That car so needs to be saved. Love the videos.

[@shartne]

Paint the suspension to match the frame. Yes tilt the radiator back. Dads not a fan of the rusty ole t, oh well Is he a chevy man LOL When my mom and dad got married they owned and drove a 49 Ford like that He liked it. Or sure talked about a lot.

[@AndyGeesGarage]

Oh I dig that shoebox. You might be in trouble …looks like Danni liked it too lol

[@DDSpeedShop]

yeah it was a pretty cool rod

[@geoffprobert2506]

need to get that shoe box running

[@keithharden7844]

I guess a good thing about having a stroke is I can go back and watch all the videos again for the first time. Sometimes though I see my previous comments and and think WTF?

[@kermitbearden7142]

Put a shifter boot on the steering shaft. The square bottom of the boot will be close to the size of the opening of the floor and the top would be close to the size of the steering shaft above the universal joint.

[@DDSpeedShop]

good idea! thanks buddy

[@Iann128]

Looking good! It looks like Dani is getting better with the Drone. Can't wait to see it running.

[@musclecarmaniac6786]

I vote...GET IT RUNNING !!!

I win this one internet! Lmao! Made my day!!

Awesome thows old fords guys would put v8 in them back in the day , here in New Zealand but now they like them restored 👍🏾👍🏾 you will get there 👍🏾

[@jimcosgrove292]

Good video love the Tall T

[@randyhawkins6659]

Oven cleaner works great

[@Sculpin74]

Section the grille shell. Good proportions are very important. Paint or patina...whatever...is nothing compared to the car having the proper profile. And you're nailing that so far!

[@DDSpeedShop]

totally agree

[@papachubby1951]

Of course get that shoe box running.

[@DDSpeedShop]

yeah i gotta do it

[@LAKERAT_YT]

Gotta love the wifey always got tour back! Making sure you covered the carb!

[@DDSpeedShop]

haha yeah she's "helpful"

[@mattsondergeld5576]

Cheep stuff from dollar tree, LA's totally awesome works great. Metal/concrete prep from home depot will clean wheels and flash/ light surface rust.

[@henryescat1104]

I think since you have the frame painted.. That shows where you started.. I'd leave the rest rusty.. I think that's a perfect mix of contrast..

[@MrBenh1976]

Its amazing how a lot of time and a little love can turn yard art into a good lookin roller

[@searchingforsalsa]

As a guy with a ‘51 shoebox driving project, looking forward to shoebox content

[@c-10ranchautorepairmeyers]

Love to see you get it running !

[@79beans347]

Oh yeah on the t, give the grill a little tilt and it will be mint 👌👌

[@olskoolsgarage9987]

I use “Purple Stuff” for degreasing!! The shoebox Fords are friggin badass!! Definitely gotta do a fire up video!! Great video as always!! Have a great weekend!!

[@DDSpeedShop]

Thanks! Will do!

[@janfranken5257]

They always put the title and registration holder around the steering column and it was held there with 2 small springs.

[@DDSpeedShop]

yeah super cool old stuff

im sure ill get back to it this summer

[@richroxy41]

Ya please get that 50 ford going its one of my vavs,great lines on that thing.

[@DDSpeedShop]

totally sweet car

[@ferdjanklow3566]

That certificate holder is true vintage. You put your registration inside, then it wraps around the steering column.

[@DDSpeedShop]

yeah so cool looking!

[@msolbakken]

Yes, do it. Love the grill on that ford.

[@thomasstoll5844]

I'm pretty sure your friend got the better end of the trade with that Shoebox Ford!!!

[@DDSpeedShop]

i think so too haha

[@josephtrizzino6916]

Love the show.... Use a shifter boot on the floor around the steering box

[@olnamgrunt9857]

A little paint never hurts , try it once in a while.

[@DDSpeedShop]

hahah touche

[@robertgregory6315]

I wood paint the axle to match the rest of the frame.

[@whome3744]

Coming along nicely👋

[@fhionnsgarage4770]

Love the 50 Ford. Get her running. I use heavy duty easy off to degrease engines etc. I vote paint the axle etc.

[@mikesonneson2824]

Enjoyed.......Paint the front end to match the frame. Section the grill.

[@donbearden1953]

Paint front axle flat black!

[@jakemcphail2475]

Would love to see ya stuff an ls in that shoebox. I'm building a shoebox and was throwing idea around. I'm a chevy guy at heart. Just fell in love with the shoebox body lines. Love your channel. Glad to finally see good canadian content on you tube.

[@charlesthomas6210]

Easy off oven cleaner works great

[@Mike-xt2ot]

I always use a product called LA'S TOTALLY AWESOME. I use it for everything automotive and diluted for household cleaning. Get it for a dollar at dollar tree stores.

[@richc9503]

That deal you found on the seat of the ford holds the registration and it fits around the steering column, I can remember seeing them in old cars when I was a kid. I like your winch set-up, might have to look into that, especially for the dog, I've got a Beagle that likes to escape, Lol.

[@DDSpeedShop]

the 3500lb winch could probably hold back a beagle haha

[@glennnickerson8438]

Dan: I like to use Purple Power or a generic equivalent. A gallon is under $10.00, cleans greasy stuff good and is an excellent interior cleaner. It would take a case of Gunk to do what a gallon of the purple stuff will do and no greasy film afterwards!

[@willierepairone5389]

Quote of the day,,,, Borrowing somebody's pressure washer is better than having your own !

[@DDSpeedShop]

so true, same goes for car trailers

[@willierepairone5389]

Except when you have to fix said car trailer

[@60EFFIE]

Super clean!

[@lessharratt8719]

Angle the cowl. Don't section it. Could be useful on a different project. No need to paint anything . Just make it go. You have done a great job fabbing up the floor pans. Looks awesome. Making ramps for your car hauler trailer needs to go on your to do list.. Yeah right.

[@johnnystallings8367]

With the frame already done I would paint the front end! I think a few videos on getting the shoe box going would be awesome! Love what you guys do! I look forward to every video!

[@BoxcarsGarage]

I dig that drone!

[@DDSpeedShop]

Noted!

[@markchapmon8670]

It's a '50 Ford. The '49 gas cap poked out of the fender while the '50 has a door on the fender covering the gas neck and cap.
