'The Leaf' a ratty roadster, part nineteen

[@malcolm8938]

Not long got up, it's raining out. I've loaded the frying pan up, just flicked KZbin on and there's 45 minutes of the swamp to lose myself in. Bliss. Thanks.

[@oakswamp]

hope you enjoy both mate cheers

[@malcolm8938]

I did thanks 👍

[@paulwright1458]

Just such an eye opener, the stuff that's being built in sheds, all over the world.

[@oakswamp]

its a nice thought isnt it?

[@joeamar2519]

I'm binge watching the Rat build to catch up. Clangs, bangs, arcs, sparks, fumes, tunes, and Bob's your uncle. What a riot!

[@oakswamp]

fantastic...hope you are enjoying it ...thanks dude

[@eddiereeher7594]

2nd time watching.Had a good time.like always.Keep on Truckin😎👍

[@oakswamp]

[@bry3500]

The content, editing and Swamp Juke Joint vibe a heady mix! Cheers Bry, I love this shit

[@oakswamp]

thanks dude👊

[@Steve-Chapman64]

Jim, Keith and you what a trio. Music was top drawer Bryan. Loved Steve with the Landies Another character. Can't remember him from the Hook build. Looking forward to the French mission. What a great episode this was.👍

[@oakswamp]

thanks mate was fun to do...the lads are great we are talking about bands

[@Mopar46]

Keith bears a not-too-slight resemblance to Jimmy Page, [present day, that is] with that mandolin in his hands. [Battle of Evermore, i'm thinking?] Anyone else see that? PS: love the smell of Trefolex in the morning!!!!

[@oakswamp]

hahahah ....he does a bit dosnt he ? Fair play to him he banged out numbers all day ....ps hahahahahahha

[@90FF1]

Touched on all of my favorite things. The Leaf, the music, drives in the country side, meeting friends, seeing other people's 's**tuff, beautiful sounds from small displacement engines, and outstanding video editing. Quite a score on the cast iron Crosleys. Thanks again for a very pleasant Sunday morning.

[@oakswamp]

thanks mate knd words.. they are all really good blokes ....i feel privileged

[@NickPettitt]

Always a treat when a new Oak Swamp video pops up... Excellent as always, keep 'em coming... 😁

[@oakswamp]

cheers Nick ...always appreciated bro

[@kelleyhaney-cw7mk]

Caught one of your videos and saw the little roadster called Alan hopefully you'll put a little bit more of that guy and I really thought that that little car was really cool he kind of blended ultra modern and shiny with enough of the old style and the old patina I really like that rig I'm looking forward to seeing what the leave and I really enjoyed the videos on on the Austin 10 you like a lot of the same kind of things that I do I'm I believe a little bit older or right at your age but I was into this kind of crap when it wasn't very popular and I'm really glad to see this is catching on this is Texas red in Arizona and I'm looking forward to more of your videos as soon as you start releasing some of the newer stuff and by the way happy Halloween it's almost time over here I know I think you guys have already had it by now.😊

[@oakswamp]

tonight !!!! I wont be going trick or treating hahah ....I built a hot rod in my 20's and it was cool and all that but what i really wanted to build was something like the Rat ...skinny wheels , light and did 60 to the gallon but i got caught up with it all v8 's and drag racing and it took till the rat to get it out...Ill be starting a proper project in the next month or so and im really excited for that unfortunately the leaf was never gonna be all that artistic ...it is what it is really but watch this space Red, thanks for the comment

[@andrevassili1039]

Truly excellent video Oak. You're right, we do like it when you visit people and show us what they're doing. Music is fantastic as always.

Great video, love the garage explores, best way to spend a Sunday morning! 👍

[@oakswamp]

[@jimwhittemore1610]

Amazing how much you can squeeze into one episode! Can’t believe you got yourself more Crosley stuff. The tranny is actually a three speed when it’s working properly. You can’t get a lot of rpms out of those engines. They were extremely fast in small hydroplanes. Thanks!

[@oakswamp]

I had to edit loads out too, hahha , excited about the crosley ... dyou know much about these motors then Jim? if you do and have time drop me a line here mate cheers . [e-mail]

Many thanks for a fun packed video. Great to see Warren. His engine and Steves tractor body could be a Mini “Beast of Turin”. Loved the music and the New Forrest. A trip to Crazy Steve, the Bracket factory and Ady was Icing on the cake 😎👍

always kind words brother thanks mate

[@stephenpickering9831]

A brilliantly entertaining KZbin offering. How come I build old cars and no one EVER gives me wonderful old stuff like the lovely old Crosley engine! Its crying out to be slotted into a vintage motorbike frame. Reach for the angle grinder and get cracking.

[@oakswamp]

hahahah you are too remote Steve! its a beaut isnt it mate ...yes bike, trike and special have all crosed my mind ....ill try get him running first, hope you are well bro? cheers mate

Happy Sunday Brian. I just messaged a guy on Facebook marketplace about a Model A frame that he has. I believe I am going to use that as the frame for my 1928 Morgan. I want the dimensions to be a bit bigger than the actual car. I am still planning 0n building the supercharged opposed twin and mating it to the MG 4 speed manual gearbox. I am going to have take part the gearbox as my first video and get it to go into the gears. Right now it will not even go into any . Thanks for sharing your busy days with us. Another banger of a video for a rainy Sunday morning ij Eastern Pennsylvania....

Wow that little Crosley eyngine brought back many memories my pop worked for Ford before and after the war……in our garage he had a bunch of machine tools and built flathead fords for racing. .the midgets used the 60 hp v8 (1937-41) hoped up and he hoped up those little crosleys into the 1960,s. For the 3/4 midget race cars which ran indoors and outdoors in the New York. Area…..he made dual carb intakes for two webers I forget which ones I think 32;s I did most of the cleaning,porting,and honing of the cylinders time spent going to races 3 or4 times a week working in the wooden garage (shed) with him was priceless I still have his tools and work on my model a fords….besr to.

[@Hazzy238]

Excellent production again. Thank u. Just by the way, next time u need a bearing just put the part number into the computer. U will do a heap better than that bearing shop. Alternators? Worry not. Lack of moving parts makes it easy for the cheap import version. If they work for a day, they last for years.
