Great episode! I love how you included the struggles … keepin’ it real!

[@Theoldironworkshop]

Every day is a struggle. Although if somebody learned something from it, then that’s great.

[@raymondcollyear4773]

Isn't that the way it goes ,you fix one thing and something else goes wrong. Thanks for another great video

[@Theoldironworkshop]

You got that right! But honestly, it makes sense. The car was originally put together around 1970. And was in storage for about 30 years. So I think I’m just working through a lot of the weak links at this point. I’ve gone near rebuild everything on it. Maybe I’ll rewire it the spring. Wiring is a little sketchy.

[@HogshooterHotrods]

So many struggles with crap you didn't have much reason to rebuild, till the struggle bus dropped a load on you! Very good episode I love the 40 for sure!!

[@Theoldironworkshop]

Well that is life. But really what else would I do?

[@bradfordbarrettluckotheIrish]

Great efforts and patience

[@andymccracken4046]

Nice video, these things always take longer than you expect but it will be good once it's done.

[@Theoldironworkshop]

I hope so!

[@Rustyhalligans]

The struggle is real

[@Theoldironworkshop]

Yeah you know it

[@Rustyhalligans]

@@Theoldironworkshop let me tell you this 27 coupe I’m building gave me a fight on first start up. Anything that could go wrong did. Noodled through it got it dialed in the next day .

[@stomper2582]

You have a calmer disposition than I do. Back before I was heavily sedated I would have been picking up my tools in my neighbors back yard a couple of times during that endeavor. 😮

[@Theoldironworkshop]

I have three daughters. Over the last 20 years of living with four women. I’ve learned a fair amount of patients.

Must hell when their menstrating

[@Theoldironworkshop]

Oh, there’s never a dull moment

[@DarkFlamage]

Stop me if you know this. Remove shift rods. Shifter in neutral. Pin/nail /drill bit/ what-ever in shifter alignment hole to lock shifter forks. Put all tranny fork levers into neutral position. Adjust rods to fit/then install them. Remove pin. Done. Assuming shifter/ rod bushings aren't worn out. (If this doesn't work, decide which is cheaper, case of dynamite or new shifter). 🤣

[@Theoldironworkshop]

Yes, I discovered the instructions afterwards. The funny thing is, I didn’t even move into the linkage when I took it off so I don’t know why it didn’t go back at the same way. Transmission seems to work fine it’s definitely a linkage issue. I’ll have to get to that next week. Of course I have to fix my tire first.

Thank you

Wow. I'm not the only one with all these crazy problems.

[@Theoldironworkshop]

You know, the reality is nothing goes very smooth. It would be super easy to just edit everything to come out perfectly. Well, that’s not the reality of what we do. I think I try more to show the process more than the outcome.

[@garypannone7755]

That's why this is a cool channel. You show real life things. @@Theoldironworkshop

Hi man, I love the rods you have in special the red one. Hope the blanc metal one will drive properly soon. Send you love from the Netherlands

Thank you

The coupe is perfect the way it is,,dont mess with it

[@catman19]

Make sure the arms the rods hook on to are rite. I think the arms hang down. I got that wrong long time ago & really messed me up. Good luck

[@Theoldironworkshop]

She’s all fixed up

[@larrymorgan5265]

The Cady girls channel,she had a bad ass caddy ambulance/Hurst it had a trolly that went to the back door or went forward and pivoted out either side door. Wouldn't it be cool if she had extra rollers and roller plates for Mabel??

[@Theoldironworkshop]

That is known as a three-way. I could easily convert mine to do that.

[@fieldcars3301]

should be fine after adjustment sounds like lever not fully releasing reverse which locks u out of forward gears. Hate to see all the spare parts I'd have after pulling my trans apart lol

[@Theoldironworkshop]

Yeah, that’s my theory as well because it goes into gear fine but as soon as I put it in reverse, I can’t get it back in forward gear. And honestly rebuilding it is pretty simple in the scheme of things. It’s just a matter of working through the correct process.

[@user-oh7lv8ud1z]

Good evening, cool caps. Where can I buy the same ones?

[@Theoldironworkshop]

Which ones? The baseball caps are at my store. The gray newsboy cap. I have no idea where I got that. I’ve had it for years. It’s actually the only hat that keeps my cold, bald head warm.

[@ralphhammond8398]

Hey guys, how come you don't have air conditioning in the hot rod??? Ralph...enjoyed the video😂

[@Theoldironworkshop]

I don’t really think I have room for a condenser. Course I haven’t tried. Besides air-conditioning is cheating. But I’m definitely gonna put it in the wife’s hearse

[@garyjones2582]

Love those cool blankets on your front seats.. Hey are you related to Bad Chad? The first time I saw one of your videos I thought you were B.Chad...See you next video...

[@Theoldironworkshop]

As far as I know, I’m not related to Chad. Although, aren’t we all technically related? Actually, my grandfather was born in Canada and moved to Flint Michigan just on the other side of the bridge. So who knows maybe we are.

If you were not going to change out the doors // Just a thought Brother -- Cop on an incline to where you take just a little more out of the front pillars than the back on an incline / This in my brain fart would look great .

[@Theoldironworkshop]

Yeah I haven’t had too many 40 Fords that I like chopped. I guess that’s why I haven’t been super motivated. Period although last night I was dreaming of building another 36 so maybe the 40 will go down the road shortly

[@thejeepdoctor]

Appears to me that the clutch is not fully releasing. If it goes into gear not running, then the clutch is spinning, not allowing it to go into gear. Did you replace the slip yoke bushing in the rear of the transmission? That is what galled the original slip yoke. Push up and down on slip yoke. Should be almost no play.

[@Theoldironworkshop]

Yes I replaced the bushings. Also, the clutch is fully disengaging.

[@thejeepdoctor]

If it was fully disengaging, trans would shift like engine is shut off. Does vehicle use a pilot shaft bushing or bearing? Dry bushing may be keeping the input shaft spinning? What ever your problem is, is clutch related.

[@Theoldironworkshop]

Hmm. Perhaps I will try to readjust. The clutch doesn’t seem to be dragging on engine is running and in gear but you could be right.

Mr. B. Here ! 🍩🍩☕️👀😎👍. Am no frame guy but cutting the frame weak ends the frame ? Just asking ! Who built this car ?

Round holes are not as weakening for the frame. Not sure I saw any round holes. 😮

@@stomper2582 Mr. B. Here ! Just looked like by some were cut ? I beams are pretty strong & heavy, I have a 58 I beam in my Olds ! With factory cut outs ! That why I ask ! ☕️☕️🍩🍩👀😎👍

[@Theoldironworkshop]

I have no idea who built the car in the 70s. I tried doing a search on the H.A.M. But didn’t turn up anything. But all of the holes in the frame were cut out with the torch. It’s pretty crude. The big bottom plate definitely helps everything.
