Thank you for the video, the car is very nice and definitely show worthy, the video was well made and the car made music for me. The tour was scenic, what a nice community, wife at the shore... your too modest, you've got it made. Best Wishes, Joe F.
I enjoyed this video. Appreciate walk arounds w/out music and just info on the build. How the 409 fenderwell headers were concocted was good to know & interior tin work looks real nice.
Thanks! Trying to build the car on a budget, the BBC trifive fenderwell headers were the cheapest we could find. Then we just kept our fingers crossed we could make them work without too much hassle.
You guys did a great job, like you said basic but very clean work and the 409 looks perfect in the bay. Definitely looks like what would appear back in the 60's at the track...very cool! Wouldn't mind tooling around in that thing, I think it would be a real kick!👍👍👍
Super sanitary build!!! the yellow windows make the car. Looks exactly like something a talented person, in the early 60's ,would have screwed together. Great attention to detail and good job saving some of the original car. Wish you where closer. Nice and warm down here in late October. Drag it down. My crowd would go crazy for this.

Love the car it looks period correct with the wheels paint loved the lettering and the car has a great stance I was surprised how quiet the car was most cars rattle and that car seemed very solid. Thanks for the video
Thanks. Yeah, it's pretty tight. The only thing that really makes noise is the trunk lid if you're on a real bumpy road. The original weather strip has shrunk down quite a bit and it no longer seals well, and the striker and latch are a little worn out so it'll bang around a bit.
Very good video! I love how you explain the build. I have a 59 Nash Metropolitan pro street that I decided to take apart and up date something’s to make it more a show car.
No! Body sits on roll cage. Rear tub with 9” rear end with 1 1/2” space between tire sidewall and metropolitan body fender. If I ever wanted to put airbags to drop the car to the ground. The top of the tires still will not touch the fender wells.
Very sweet ride, my favorite colour, and agreeing with the no music comments, very good vid man, thank you! 409 sounds just fine, could always pep it up with a small turbo kit and maybe s small shot of N2O? Dunno, but a wonderful vicarious ride adventure, well done Sir!
You probably dont care at all but does any of you know a way to get back into an instagram account..? I somehow forgot my account password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me!
@Joe Walter thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Guy, I have noticed that 60s/70s VW Variant 1600 hatchback might be based probablely on this American early 50s car shape. 🤔 Maybe not. 😛 Who knows it. Greetings from 🇨🇱 Santiago Chile SouthAmerica
When the weather gets nice I plan on doing a walk around of that. Its an unrestored 66 coupe. One lacquer repaint many many years ago. 327/350hp. 4sp. All #'s matching.
Wow thanks for the ride along! Where did you get the hood scoop? I had one like that or Very similar on my truck back in 75. I was looking on the internet for one and couldn't find anything close so I made my own out of metal. Love your car 👍😎
Why didn't you do something which would really cause a panic at a cruze night.. pur some 426 HEMI or a hogged out BBC in the REAR SEAT and do mini or not so mini wheelstands. Or...set the present engine back like 2 feet and you set the car up where you drive from the back seat!! Hint: there WERE cars set up that way which drove around with plates on the streets of several LA County towns in the mid 60's when I was out there. Anyway, I just thought I'd do some imaginerring, many congrats on your nice car it Really sturs my many happy memories of a great era in street rods....
Unusual combo with that 409. About 40-45 years ago my aunt's next door neighbor had a 409 powered Henry J.
Haha... cool. I figured it had to have been done before.
I had a 53 Henry J and put in a Chevy 350 with 375 horse had a lot of fun with that car.
Cool!

Thanks for watching!
Just found your channel after watching the 409 on the stand (sweet sounding music to my ears) and jumped here. Nice 👍. I hit the subscribe
really enjoyed the ride, my dad owned a 51 henry J back in 51 , bare bones car for sure
Thanks. My dad wanted a 51. But couldn't pass this one up when it came along.
@@jc-garage he made a good choice and the 409 topped it off
Nice car; you fellows did a great job......love the 409 !
Thanks 👍
This is such a clean well done car. You have done a job to be rpoud of.
Thanks!

Thanks for watching! It's not the most fun car to ride in when it's hot outside, but ripping through the gears helps. Ha!
@@jc-garage Thats ok that's what the Caddy is for, this thing is for the kicks! 👌
When I saw the white headers I knew it was going to be a sweeet build! Thanks for sharing
Thanks!
Very cool Henry J
Done up nice 😎👍
Awesome Car. Great job on the Henry J. Thanks a bunch for sharing
Thanks!
Beautiful car!!!!!
Good video no music required. Getting me motivated to work on my 53 Henry J. Thanks
I had a 52 in high school with a 392 stuck halfway thru the firewall . What a fun car.
Yeah... that'd be a fun car to have in high school!
If I had one like it I would be very proud of it.
Thanks!
Very nice job on the car. Love the Gasser look. Henry J's respond so well to being a Gasser.
Thanks!
Just watched this again, would love to own this car.
We could build one for you. ;-)
Nice looking Henry J. Always think of Beach Boys 409. Thanks for the ride.
Thanks!
The car is classic Gasser!. Love the wheel well headers and yellow plexi windows. It's so sixties!
Thanks!

Very good video! I love how you explain the build. I have a 59 Nash Metropolitan pro street that I decided to take apart and up date something’s to make it more a show car.
Thanks! A pro street Metropolitan...... do the tires touch in the back? Ha
No! Body sits on roll cage. Rear tub with 9” rear end with 1 1/2” space between tire sidewall and metropolitan body fender. If I ever wanted to put airbags to drop the car to the ground. The top of the tires still will not touch the fender wells.
In the mid 60's there was a similar Henry J in my home town, they called it ' El Greengo".
Where was that?

Great car to make a gasser out of. Love it!
Thanks!
It was a Willy's Coupe named " Souza Brothers & Dad " . COOL Henry J
Thanks! Yeah, that name sounds right.
Really cool Henry J. Collecting parts for the one I have. Maybe later I can ask a few questions. Thanks for posting!
Awesome Car ......THX for sharing.
Thanks!
My dad was an old hot rodder/gear head. He had a purple Henry J jam packed with Mopar go fast goodies.
This one came close to some Mopar goodies, but the 409 won out in the end.
Very cool!!
Great content, really like the car. AWESOME!!
Thanks!
AWESOME car!!! Looks good to me. Fun car.
Thanks!
That’s a cool little car bud
Thanks!
Well done!
Thank you!
Absolutely love it!!!! Just perfect! Hope to see the car at some PA shows in the Spring.
Thanks. Yeah... this year sucked for car shows.

@Joe Walter It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my account !
I still have a set of 690 heads (tall runner 409 Hipo), ported and polished, that I'd gladly sell.
Nice car...
Lucky man
Thanks!
Love it beautiful
Thanks!
Way cool HJ, looks prefect
Thanks!
Cool car. Just seen the door northampton pa. 👍 spent many years hanging out in that area a lot of hot rods and muscle cars around there
Thanks 👍
Beautifully done!
Thanks!
@@jc-garage Do you need a pair of ported, polished 690 heads?
Nah, we're good. Thanks for the offer though.
Liked your video, love the Henry J.
Thanks!
Very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!

Very nice I love it !

Want a nice Lil hotrod I had 4 Anglia's love the old gasser drag car's. Love the color also.
Thanks! I've always like the Anglia.
Nice car.
Thanks!
Nothing like blastin thru the burg
Love it nice
Thanks!
Hey man, let's see more of that C2 Vette on the lift behind you, PLEASE!!!!
When the weather gets nice I plan on doing a walk around of that. Its an unrestored 66 coupe. One lacquer repaint many many years ago. 327/350hp. 4sp. All #'s matching.
That`s nice, I like that.
Thanks!
Love it! cooler than penguin piss.
Haha... thanks!
Wow thanks for the ride along! Where did you get the hood scoop? I had one like that or Very similar on my truck back in 75. I was looking on the internet for one and couldn't find anything close so I made my own out of metal. Love your car 👍😎
I don't know exactly where it came from. But, it's a copy of the G.T. 350 scoop. Speedway Motors sells something similar.
@@jc-garage Yes it is similar but that one seems taller in general. Looks like 3 inches in front and 21/2 in back?
What kind of headers are they? Where did you get them?
They're custom made.
I'm building a 51 Henry J gasser with a 409 and was interested in your headers. I can find 409 flanges like yopu did but not sure what headers to get.
Big block tri-five fenderwell headers with altered primary tubes to match the 409 flanges.
Having trouble finding a dual quad intake for my 409. Did you build your engine and what intake is on yours?
We got the Edelbrock RPM Dual Quad kit for this engine. Comes with the intake (small port), 2 500cfm carbs, linkage, etc.
Hey your video is pretty good! The only thing I would change on the Henry J is the name on the title.
Haha.... Thanks!
That Sucks, they took an all Original 52 Henry J and cut it up ?
And no regrets. 😁
sweet racecar...She teeny , And toasty
Thanks!
Great video and a sweet car! I have 51. Do you have any of the front end chrome that you took off?
Thanks. Unfortunately all of that stuff was sold off.
Christ! What gear are you running, a 2.70? Jeez!
3.73
@@jc-garage Man, seems a lot taller than that in the video. Should be a 3.70 actually in a 9” Ford.
You know what, I'm getting messed up here. It's actually a 4.11, but with the tall tires, it's sorta comparable to a 3.73.

Too much babble. Not enough car.
Great car except that Garbage Motors produced chevy junk under the hood....
