Tudor Sedan Ep 6 (Building a Hotrod)

[@davidpark9727]

You saving one, will lead others to try and save many more.

[@ThisOldHotrod]

I hope so !

[@kenpecora7526]

You have some clever solutions in this build. The amount of work you get done in addition to working a full time job makes me feel like a real slacker,

[@ThisOldHotrod]

It’s tough at time but I’m pushing forwards 😎👍🏼

[@fastback1245]

Thanks for showing this Mike people can see what we go to on the east coast to make a hot rod it's called dedication

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Yes sir ! They’re very rarely nice around here. Pretty typical for us here in the northeast. I hope this series helps a lot of people. Thanks for the support. 🙏🏼

[@Hillsiderusto]

Adapt and overcome...Thanks for bringing us along, I'm learning quite a bit- or at least feeling less daunted by the process

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Excellent. Glad to hear that. Thanks for following along.

[@AM-sp1my]

That’s right, Build them, not destroy them. Nice job looking good.😊

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thanks !

[@kurtludwig6962]

Turning out to be a great save of 93 year old ford!

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Going to be a cool little hotrod 👍🏼

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Another GREAT vid! 🍻

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thanks TP ! 😎👍🏼

[@tonymosca6591]

Great idea for the rear body mount sleeves! Moving forward Mike. Thanks for showing us.

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Absolutely. Thanks for hanging around !

[@62_C10]

great work Mike - keep doing it your way... we'll watch.

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thanks Bob 😎👍🏼

Floors are looking good. Good job especially based on the fact that what you are starting with is pretty rough, but looks like it will be good and solid when you are done. This is a good example that someone doesn't have to start with a $5000 body to build a hot rod!

[@ThisOldHotrod]

That’s exactly the reason I’m building this car. So many people shy away from a rough body. It’s more work but it’s possible to save them. Plus an added bonus of learning as you go. Thanks for following along.

[@johnkranz4004]

Nice job Mike good idea with the pipe on the rear of the floor and Nice seats

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@douglasbarnhart3324]

Floors looks nice Mike thanks for the video and your time. See ya on the next.

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thanh’s Doug !

[@nicholaschristiani253]

I was watching the beginning of Iron Traps sweet heart roadster build yesterday which was in similar condition. Just takes a little time, determination and some ability to work with your hands.

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Yeah his roadster was really rough. I remember it also. Shook loose on its way home. He got it home and it was worse than he thought. Lol. I know the feeling … t at least he has a roadster. Haha.

[@xozindustries7451]

Good work, I like how you did the rear panel, great idea

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thanks man. I appreciate it.

[@matthouse8499]

Dig your channel you definitely have all the right toys, I always looked at building some of those junk body's as a dead horse, you can't kill it but you definitely can make them better great job 👍

[@ThisOldHotrod]

That’s a great way to look at it.

[@randiegadberry5448]

Fantastic job as usual!

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thank you !

[@andrewdannelly3350]

Great content great videos keep up the good work

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thanks 🙏🏼

[@knutbkristiansen]

Awesome episode

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thanks !

[@craighough5886]

When I built my 30 I scored some old computer server cabinets. The lip in them was exactly the same as on the crossmember. I only had to bend 2 edges. I didn’t have to roll a bead in them as they would never “tin can”. A bit heavier but it isn’t a race car!

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Whatever it takes 👍🏼

[@richardlees778]

Very nice job, Mike

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thank you 👍🏼

[@black88coupe]

Keep plugging away. Looks good.

[@ThisOldHotrod]

It’s coming along.

[@nelsonniles685]

Hi Mike great videos, thanks for the techniques and ideas. I will be doing the same project.

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Absolutely 👍🏼. Thanks for watching

[@craigcaggiano431]

Enjoying these build videos, maybe you will cover the rear spring Hump.

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Next video

[@farfromdonemotors6796]

Your process is making sense to me. Right or wrong it's getting done. Kind of like framing a house from the inside

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thanks. It’s one way to do it I suppose. Like you said. Right or wrong. It’s gonna get done. 👍🏼

[@eustolioramirez2955]

Good job

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thanks 🙏🏼

[@justdale1966]

That car looks like fun I hope you keep going but I guess it all depends on how many extra parts you have laying around the shop would be nice to see the new buyer drive it out of your garage

[@ThisOldHotrod]

I can appreciate what you’re saying. But I really don’t want to spend several months building the car. I’d like someone else to finish it. I’ve got quite a few parts on the shelves to help the next person out. Depending on what their plan is. Time will tell.

[@justdale1966]

Of course let someone finish it can't wait to see when you decide enough is enough it'll be a good roller

[@ThisOldHotrod]

I hope I know when to stop. 😂. I probably won’t 🤦🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

[@davidhyson9910]

Okay, not sure how I got fed this on KZbin, but what a score. The pace and flow is good! Don't bore me with the duplicate of the other side as you did. Seems just right Mike, I love your shop and the vibe. Also I need a plasma cutter like yesterday. Q. What happens at the bottom of the tube supports? Big welded on washer with a fastener?

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Heck ya man ! Thank you. I watched a lot of KZbin and know how you feel. I try to remove the boring crap. Thank you for noticing and taking time to comment. 👍🏼. Under the tube is the actual body mount the floor structure is welded to. That tube will be welded to the plate from underneath. So you have added support and access to the body mount. Trying to use my brain. 😁👍🏼✅

[@raybass6826]

love what your doing im doing a 35 bout the same stage and shape haha makes me feel like im at work in garage with yeah and im up the rd in nh

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thanks Ray !

[@nboldrini]

I subscribe to lots of "build" channels but yours is one I always watch first. You are really determined to make this rust bucket a drive-able car. I have noticed you don't clean the rust from the rusty panels where you weld. Do you have any trouble with the saturation of the weld?

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it. I think I clean the rust haha. There’s just so much on this car. I don’t always show it I guess. But I do clean up what I can where I can. Otherwise I wouldn’t be able to weld it at all.

[@paulresca6681]

Floors look great. Which part do you enjoy the most? Fabrication, problem solving, mechanical assembly, etc. thanks

[@ThisOldHotrod]

I really like the fabrication and the problem solving. I think the mechanics and assembly would be after that. It’s fun creating something.

[@stevenbranch7362]

Mike it is really coming very nice and I love the seats what are they from? Steven

[@ThisOldHotrod]

The seats were out of a shuttle bus or Tram off Nantucket. I found the bud in a junkyard. I bought all 10 of them. These are the last set I have. I’ve sold the rest

[@terryhodgson8798]

How's the body going to connect to the floor ?

[@ThisOldHotrod]

It’ll be welded. But in the event the next person needs / wants to remove the floor or fix the body panels. I held off welding it. I said that during the video.
