Will This Chopped 50 Ford Shoebox Start After Sitting For 20+ Years???

[@briankinnear7461]

Great to hear the old flatty come to life. Sounds really good. Look forward to more on this old Shoebox. Be safe and stay well.

Thank you

That's so cool, I think I was smiling as much as you were when she started up there. I absolutely love that car and what you have in store for it so far. Big fan of Taildraggers, I would love to see you clean up the engine and keep it in this baby , she deserves it for starting right up for you. Good luck

[@OldTimeGarage]

She does .

[@steveveness3829]

G'day from West Australia, Rick😉 Gotta love that unimaginable first fire up🙂👍👍

[@jasonseal2692]

Old Henry is smiling now. Run that engine till it won’t. Remember, if you don’t spend the money, you don’t have to earn it. It’s gonna be one sweet ride, love it.

[@OldTimeGarage]

This is so true

Killer 50, i have a chopped 50 shoebox, i just resprayed her satin black 2 days ago

[@OldTimeGarage]

Nice . They are such great cars .

[@agentorange2554]

That flatty might be low on horses compared to what else you could replace it with, but it makes up for it in spirit!!!! I love it. She gave ya a "Will It Start" video on top of it. Was just amazing how good it ran and didn't smoke ya out of the shop. Incredible.

[@sonnyskustoms]

[@anddan11111]

What a nice car

[@kriswright1022]

Clean the fuel tank, make it weather tight, fix brakes, drive it! ❤

[@nevillemills9517]

In Australia we call them single spinners. The ones with the two grill domes we call them twin spinners.

[@greasyhandsauto-shaunbutte9726]

Hell yeah! Ford flathead for the win.

[@41plymouthnut87]

Clean it up and run it, it's a survivor.

[@OldTimeGarage]

Aw shit paint it upholstery new engine lol

[@jack002tuber]

Look at Rick making a will it run video. LOL. It took you a long time

[@labrd41]

Keep it old school flathead for sure. Remember your words "It's a Custom, you don't open the hood at shows".

[@IowaMercMan]

I’m not sure you can trust those gauges with a 12volt battery. That’s a hella oil pressure for a Flathead. Maybe need a step down transformer or Ford CVR to make sure they’re getting 6V. Still, she sounds great! I’d drive it.

[@OldTimeGarage]

It's correct pressure I checked it out here today with a mechanical gauge

[@tomrichardson2099]

Lower it, fix brakes, install glass, then DRIVE IT !

[@OldTimeGarage]

Maybe

[@garyp1533]

That will put a grin on your kisser!!!! Flatheads forever

[@cannednolan8194]

I would keep that motor in it. Have your other if it blows up. Low and slow.

[@g.o.b.2558]

Flathead Life 💪

[@oldbiker9739]

yehah baby !!!

[@tompalcie6284]

Keep it in and get everything else done that you want to do to it. After your done with that stuff then change it out for your fatty that way you won't have to push it around everywhere

[@19fortynine10]

50 ways newer 50 way finer. Old ford slogan for the 1950 ford. These flatties I run mine single exhaust 2.5 back and no glass pack no muffler. They are really not that loud. Hell motorcycles are lounder then the stock flatties.
