    Love this dream team. Great to have two videos for the price of one. You two need to rescue a Barnfind. 👍👍

    Watching the two of you working on that Crosley; you look like brothers from different mothers; especially
    when you both have the specs on! Love the content from both your channels; keep it up.

      Fortunately our eyes are as bad as each others so we can borrow each others specs when we loose the (every few minutes...)

    What a team. Like bacon & eggs. The Crosley is a sweet engine.Some mods to the intake and exhaust system should bring it up a few hp.

    Excellent stuff. If only you’d already got a 12 cylinder engined car you could drop the La France lump into.

    From the mild manners of the Crosley to the wild untamed ( It will be a beast in anything smaller than a Yank fire truck ) anarchy of the Lafrance. I can't help but think of Waylon Wire's V12 rat rod truck with the tartan rocker covers.

      not sure what the V12 will go in yet... but it'll deffo be pre-war (and quite big!)

    now a complete La France is something Mrs Tweed put her foot down and said no way!!!.....so I have some deep trauma over these.....so if you need a hand getting it running I have a big crowbar and at least 2 large Transit batteries and heavy duty jump leads to hand.......also after 3 years of sitting in the garage the Suzuki K10P started second kick so the race is on.....

      funnily enough the YG1 has just had a solid outing - it was all going well until we got a puncture at 50mph - 2 up! I may take you up on those batteries and you are most welcome to be in attendance for its first (attempted) start up. Need to make a jolly solid frame for it first (with wheels!)
