On this episode we are rolling along with the roadster, literal and figuratively! We mock up the spindles and drums and get the steering boxes bolted in. We get the early tie rod ends disassembled, cleaned up and mocked in for measurements. A new drag link and cross steer are being made. And the wheels and tires are bolted on. Summer cruising is amongst us! Fingers crossed.

Love watching your videos of all these flathead cars.

[@timr.3108]

The project is really coming along nicely.

[@bennettscustomsco]

Thanks Tim! Finally taking shape

[@timferriss905]

Coming together nicely. I like the way you keep stuff even if you no it’s not good enough to use on the road. It will always be there when you need a part or piece to do a mock up and not wishing you had binned it. Although you can get a lot of stick for being a hoarder. As I do from family. Why have one engine when you can have three. And why not read a magazine and then pass it on instead of thousands of mags from years gone bye. Keep it up Jordan. Thanks Tim.

[@bennettscustomsco]

Exactly right Tim! I’ve done the sell lots of bits and pieces but it really is best to keep a lot of it for those rainy days, I love to dig through Nic-naks to see what I can create out of them

[@wrstew1272]

You are a brave man to wear white pants in a fab shop! I could walk by anything that had ever been rusty, greased, etc. and they would look like your coveralls from the clay track episode 😂. Being from an aircraft background, 4130 tube and heim joints would decorate my car. Not period, as I think you are going for- but hell for stout and easy. Looking forward to seeing what comes next!

[@bennettscustomsco]

Hahah yeah they didn’t last long and now are completely brown! Oh well. Haha Yeah this is true! It’s hard to balance both early parts and safety some times

[@kevinbarrett9615]

Love the Timmies sign, true Canadiana. Great channel, great build.

[@darylthexton2287]

Looking great!, love the early steering parts too. Keep up the awesome work!

[@bennettscustomsco]

Thanks Daryl! Yeah definitely like the early steering parts! Nice details

[@gregjobson4844]

Like the look of the wires on the roadster Jordan, good choice on deciding to use threaded tie rod ends on solid bar for the steering , I did the same on my '48 Dodge ute when the originals were obsolete... works well, also cutting and shutting steering components is illegal for road use down here, well it was when I did mine. Cheers Greg

[@joecioe8566]

Great video. I like the ball ends on the control arms. Nice little details.

[@garysargeson2539]

Great video as always mate - Love the steering arm looks really cool 😎😎 careful with the dust on them old brakes I love seeing old parts come to life, well done, great detail 😎

[@dennistwitchell8821]

I'm running 17's all around but with a much taller tire on the back. You might consider that if you can't find 18's.

[@bennettscustomsco]

Yeah I found you can purchase new 7.00 18s which is good!

[@nicveness]

I’ve got a set of 1934-36 16” wire wheels with white wall 16-7.00 BF for my roadster, going with the same theme Highboy fenderless. Hi From Kamloops, B.C. 👍 Keep up the great content! ❤

[@daleking8529]

Nice job! That car is going to be awesome!

[@floridian7143]

Thanks for sharing!

[@SchysCraftCo.]

It’s always nice to see your thoughts out when you’re working on a project. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God Bless.

[@ivanolsen8596]

Bloody unreal, just finished watching Jay Leno scudding around in a Radial Motion powered Meyer Manx, then heres Jordan with a Vw Kombi with the RM engine hanging off the back. I had never heard of these engines before, then 2 in 2 vids! Hope to hear a lot more about them. Love those vintage wires on the roadster, I can remember far enough back to when most vehicle had them!

[@franccoch4676]

hey cool vw bus in the dark side of the shop, would you stop few minutes around to tell us more, also about this strange engine 😀. Thx

[@harleycikarouski5488]

You don't have to remove the backing plate to adjust, you can loosen the locking nut with the wheel at full lock.

[@ronh5491]

The front backing plates may have a slight angle to compensate for the straight axel toein

[@garagehot813]

projeto muito bem feito , aqui do brasil estamos vibrando de alegria , valeu!

[@Richardsalazar32]
