Great video , I enjoy watching the progress you’ve made on the hearse.🇨🇦
Thanks 👍
You are doing a great job on the old girl. It’s going to be so much fun showing it around.
I can’t wait -Laura-
@@Theoldironworkshop 😁
You just make my day! LOL! Floor is lookin gooood!
Thank you
I've been following this project since the first episode. It's great!!!
Thank you very much
Thanks for taken-us to OK to see the sights/buildings. cool old buildings. Have u seen the 1-6 wrong turn movies?? some scary stuff from west Va bair woods?
This group of people that set a trap for cars, to catch the people and eat them!!!! cool old movie.. Ur 50 Cady Hearse is looking cool..
I think possibly like when I was a kid I’ll have to look that up
I just love your show! Interesting and funny! Thanks for all your vlogs.
I really appreciate that thank you
Metal work is an art form and you sir are an artist, she's starting to look like something now. Thanks for sharing.
I can’t wait to get it back on the ground.
Tulsa is the second hottest place I have ever been, Vietnam was number one. I never complain about rain in Texas, but I don't like the hot, humid wind. When the Lord turns the oven on around 11AM here east of Mesquite, I get looking for a shady spot. Mabel is looking good; I am looking forward to seeing you install the AC system to keep you and your "distraction" happy. Thanks for the video, I appreciate your dry humor.
Thank you. AC is a definite necessity. Trying to work through my shoestring budget is the biggest challenge.
@@Theoldironworkshop Money is the only thing that ever held me back.
@@Theoldironworkshophope you know something about a/c. 😮
Really great work
Thank you.
Another great video watching in the UK cheers
Thank you.
Thanks for another great video, I sure am enjoying the progress on the hearse
Glad to hear it!
Thanks for vid. Your stuff is cool. Good to see Tulsa. Architecture is amazing. Thanks for reference to "Hud." Paul Newman and Patricia Neal. Wow. There's a big huge car in that movie too. I think Paul's character wrecks it. Maybe like a '59 Roadmaster. You're a good guy.
Hard to believe Patricia Neal was kinda Hot once ! 👊😂👍
I actually always thought that was James Dean in that. Of course I haven’t seen it in probably 25 years.
Progress is progress! You got my full attention! Thank you for sharing!
Awesome! Thank you!
Always great to watch. Quite entertaining and sometimes funny.
Thanks
Coll video, I have worked in Tulsa for about 25 yrs. there are some super cool buildings, the Tulsa Driller is a cool piece outside the old EXPO building. That chop house is a fav for sure! Love the progress on Mabel keep picking away at it!!
Half way on a big big prodject...good 4 u. Mid mich.
Yeah, I’ll be heading back to Tulsa shortly. Do you recommend any places. I’ll probably stay in the same general area I was.
As always an excellent video, thank you so much .
Thank you
Another great video always look forward to watching new videos you share its getting closer to being finished
Thanks 👍. It a slow ride. But it’s getting there
As a Tulsan...thanks for the kind words about Tulsa...Yes we do have some cool Art Deco architecture! I'm enjoying the hearse project videos!
Thank you. Tulsa is awesome. It’s like Austin used to be, I can’t wait to go back. I’ve got an office there so I’ll probably be there occasionally. I love history and exploring new places.
Looking good.
Thanks 👍
Coming along nicely And Nice scenic tour through Oklahoma love that second church
Yeah, it was amazing. And those were all right next to each other. I didn’t even get to see all of them. Think I’m headed back there in two weeks so maybe I can do some more exploring. Never made it to the ghost tour.
Sir, always your talent and tests amaze me. I watch your videos full and will keep watching you. Thank you sharing your knowledge.
Thank you very much!
I love your videos I wish you did this full time
I defenetly wouldn’t mind, perhaps in the future.
Stop by your local motorcycle shop and get a blown tube, cut to the width you need for your english wheel. Cheap and easy at least.
Yeah, I’ve made a couple attempts to do that. Just never been successful. One of these days.
Nice vespa scooter in the back ground
1964. Hopping to do a little work on it soon. It’s actually a rajah I also have a VBB project.
@@Theoldironworkshop I'd like to see some video coverage on that project, if possible ???!!!
Great video and metal work ! The tour of Tulsa was great also. Great content my friend!
Thanks a lot! I appreciate that
It's all coming together - you and your sweetie will have so much fun with it.
We try to have a good time
Another informative video dealing with fabrication. love it.
Thank you
As a resident of Oklahoma, glad you had some fun in Tulsa…minus the brain melting August heat 😂. Great work as usual on the Caddy sir! Starting to really come together 👊🏻😎
So close yet so far
Omg you have a Big Backyard n I would have a few Classic vehicles back there 😆
Trust me, it’s not like I don’t think about it.
@@Theoldironworkshop ya same here but I'm getting older
you need some windows to dry that thing in for the cold months...lol
Should have all the glass in in the next few days.
Hey man don't talk down your work, I think you did a great job on the floor and it looks top notch! Keep up the great job on a cool as heck car and I'll see you on your next video. 👍
Well, thank you for that. I’m definitely my own worst critic for sure. However I think it keeps me humble and that’s pretty important.
The things we do for love. Thanks for letting me watch.
Always!
Thanks
Your Welcome
Another great video. I just noticed the cool fender skirts you had hanging on your wall by the door. The painted ones I thought those were pretty cool. I know how you feel when it comes to working on a project, sometimes you want it to just be over are just be done with it.🤪. But we know we are going to love it when we get it done.
Those are 46 ford. Someone painted them a long time ago. Definitely cool wall hangers
Looking good!!!! Thanks for sharing!!
You bet
Prison,bombs,ok it’s all starting to make sense,awesome build and video though.Thanks for sharing.
You bet. Yeah it was a crazy story. He had went to work and got to a fight with somebody. And came home that night and was building a pipe bomb. The bomb went off and almost killed him. He had to do a couple years for that. The craziest thing is when he got out of prison on parole he went to go work as a welder for a defense company that was making bombs for the military. Don’t do drugs kids.
Cant wait to see whats next!
Ha me too
There is this really cool invention that just came out a while ago that I think will help you with the rain and the flash rusting you gotta keep fighting... it's really cool... it's called a tarp... 😂😁
That would take a large amount of preparation on my part. If you’ve watched any of the videos, you could possibly tell that is not really my style. I do prefer endless complaining though.
I like you Lee. You have a great dry wit.
I think we call that lack of intelligence. Buy dry will work
51 views in the first 7 minutes of posting. Your becoming very popular Mr.Anderson. Was sorry to see surface rust already. You should cover it with a tarp till the glass goes in. Good installment Lee. Cheers Man 🍺🤛😎👍.
Thanks again! Hopefully putting the glass in this week.
Quite the craftsman you are
Thank you
I was getting a kick out of watching that paper kick your ass...lol on that dri e shaft tunnel it came out great for not ùsing a patteren.
Yeah stupid wind.
I use wallpaper lining paper for templates. Huge roll, cheap and different thicknesses for what you need
I’ve never thought about that. I’m gonna have to find me a role. Thanks for the idea.
Hola saludos desde CDMX de 🇲🇽👍
🙌🏻
I feel your pain, the grind is real.
Bro never ending
You should build a seat that wraps around the side and close off the rear driver's door and wrap the seat to the divider for the drivers area
That is her plan exactly. Then the back will fold down for cargo
I'm from Portland. And I refer to the crescent wrench as the swedish nut lathe.
Trut
Enjoying your build Lee, gives me extra motivation to work on my 57 Studebaker wagon (soon to be a hearse) Who else knew the plate was gonna spin with the hole saw?. Even with all our experience we still expect the damn things to stay put. LOL.
Yeah, and it’s not like I haven’t done that 1 million times.
Clamps are good! Esp.if you want to keep all your fingers.
They call me nubs
These patterns are called μαίανδρος/meander and are 2.5k years older than the swastika. They were used to decorate an upper "ring" of ancient Greek buildings & very suited for the U.S, inspired be the Greek Democracy.
The decoration is inspired by river bends - meandering rivers. I think they used them on Greek temples cuz they were once of wood & is the kind of pattern you can create intarsia with, by stacking different coloured wood slates, slice & install slices side by side as intarsia. (I once had a French table, done like that). Later they would replicate it in stone, same as with the columns and most shapes of an ancient Greek building.
Before Adolf, the Swastika had only positive connotations; progress, movement, electricity. In Gothenburg we had old trams with swastika engine covers by ASEA. It was used as a good luck charm by supersticious early aviators (they needed it!), became the symbol of the Finnish air force, later all their armed Forces. (Sometimes they also used the Phantoms good mark, they must have been very early readers of Lee Falk.)
I live in Thailand now, we have "excessive heat", even for Thailand. Struggles with my new AC. Tubes cracked. It is not monel, like DIY brake tubes, just plain annealed copper. Under expectations..
They was some good information. I’ve seen them in lots of different places and architecture over the years. It always wondered why A.H used it. Did he think he was spreading peace? Of just a way to mislead people.
@@TheoldironworkshopIn Europe, xenophobia & very restrictive laws for who could enter/settle were the norm, until a temporary window (due to the enlightenment), around 1820-50, where it at least in some countries actually were no e.g. antisemetism to speak of.
- Just check out this Swedish law from
1741;
"All Jews, Savoyards, line dancers, comedians with several jesters, whatever their name may be, Tartars and Gypsies, who with all kinds of impiety, fortune-telling, lies and theft cause great trouble and inconvenience to ordinary people, as well as other such Foreigners who come in with barometers, various kinds of glass, tea and other less necessary goods and carry away with them valuable money, shall be expelled without delay from the kingdom, wherever they are found."
But then the Romantic movements brought it all back again as artistic motifs. But for example the Germans protested against Richard Wagners antisemitic ideas, which were not the norm at the time. But some took it serious and combined it with 'distorted' science into pseudo-science, from around 1880.
For example, the Germanic Aryans were originally just a linguistic idea & the original scientists protested when it was used for ideas about racial supremacy and herirarchy.
1874 Heinrich Schliemann (an Indiana-Jones type of archeolog), used the Illiad to try to locate the lost city of Troy, which he found and excavated. He found pottery with Swastikas. He had seen similar designs on old pottery back in Germany and sought advice of Émile-Louis Burnouf, one above Pseudo-scientists, which made the connection between the Aryan idea and the Swastika.
From around after WW1 various right-wing groups in the so-called “völkisch” movement, made the mythical Aryan past into politics & adopted the swastika as symbol. It was also used by Freikorps, who disagreed with the Treaty of Versailles, fought various communist uprisings, supported German Aristocrats in the Baltic states, was involved in a lot of things..
So the ideas (incl. the Swastika) were already in swing before A.H. He personally added the graphical design of the Nazi flag and the extreme levels of violence&evil. He did not deceive the German people, what they intended to do were described in detail in Mein Kampf (1925), which contain statements like "the nationalization of our masses will succeed only when, aside from all the positive struggle for the soul of our people, their international poisoners are exterminated".
Party programs are often much more extreme and far reaching than the parties actual politics, so perhaps the Germans read that & thought, "Whaat?".. OK, it's a party program... But then it was carried out to the letter...
Sure they saw themselves as the good guys and heroes rescuing the world from Bolshevism and degeneration by lesser races. But...
Tulsa has underground tours of the skiscrapers. You got the blue whale in catoosa. The driller on 21st between harbard and yale. The builings are cantilever truses. Rt 66. Lots of stuff to see. The medowgold neon sighn. Its huge.
I’m heading back in a few weeks. I’ll have to check some more places out
Perhaps Rob McKenna, of “McKenna’s All-Weather Haulage”, or “One-Weather-Always-Bloody-Raining-Haulage” once hauled your hearse? (Even if i guess it is true that you never see a U-haul behind a hearse...)
Unbeknownst to him (but knownst to us), Rob McKenna is a Rain God. One of his customers were Arthur Dent, in the fourth book in the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy trilogy.
Rob McKenna never turns up in the Dirk Gently universe. But Thor was revered not only by warriors, but also by farmers and peasants because of his capacity to create rain for the crops.
All he knew was that his working days were miserable and he had a succession of lousy holidays
Are you going to show us you working on the scooters I like to see and learn about them
I do have a plan to.
@@Theoldironworkshop Oops, I just made a similar comment above.
@@Theoldironworkshop excellent
Hahaha look up epping New Hampshire it’s the center of the universe great work to
2 centers of the universe
Mr. B. Here ! 🍩☕️👀😎👍. Sir, you don’t think your Mrs., will sale Mabel ? That would have been a lot of work . I feel your pain ! LOL . Have to ask are you going to paint Mabel or leave as is ? Love you craftsmanship ! 🍺🍺👀😎👍
I don’t see her selling it. We got some plans for it. We’re going to put a sealer on the outside after we clean it up a little. We like the ominous look of the patina
@ 1:45 you reminnded me of Carl in the movie Caddyshack,,,,just sayin
Bahaha. Yeah I could agree with that I love Bill
Why not weld a washer to the back of the steering column plate in the hole you over drilled so you can still use a nutzert. Or just weld a nut. It will be a pain in the ass to nut that when engine and sheet metal is on it. Love the work. Quit talking bad about your work. There are a lot of us who wish we could do what you have done.
Thank you. I ended up removing 2 of them. I need some adjustment for the clamp
@Theoldironworkshop usually the way it goes. Welder grinder and paint no one will ever know lol.
The center of the universe is a place, not a thing. You have to stand at the spot and speak. I'll leave the rest to those who visit.
The bartender was telling me about that afterwards. I never got a chance to walk over there. My hotel was right next to it. I’m going back next week and will have to try it.
Certainly an oddity that is worth a few minutes. We might actually be a tad cooler next week, as well.
Bro before you crush I'll take it thank you
Ugg. It’s love hate
Wasn't the oklafornia raiders a thing at one time? 😎🇺🇸
When I was a kid, they were still in Los Angeles. Of course, so was the Rams.
Dirt people.. nice hat... great video 😂
you know what they say about a man with a big hat.
I am a little concerned that when the seats, interior and passengers are added there may not be enough clearance between the new tunnel and drive shaft.
It’s currently aired out as low as it will go sitting on bump stops
@@Theoldironworkshop , Well alright then. I am digging what your building. I liked the architecture tour also thanks for posting.
Your welcome
That pipe bender would have saved me so much fucking around..did you build it?
Yes. It’s just scrap from around the shop. It’s the Best tool I own. I have all kinds of different dies for it. And all of my looser tools can fit into the shank on the end. It is super handy. Maybe I’ll do a detailed demo on it
@@Theoldironworkshop that would be awesome..
The weather where you live is terrible, out of 5 videos it rains in 4!!
It’s been a pain for sure. But it only rains on days I want to work on it. We average 37in a year. We’re only at 12 for the year.
@@Theoldironworkshop Well, an old grandmother used to say that when it rains it is a blessing, hahaha, I think you are very blessed!! Greetings from Argentina, congratulations, excellent project!!
A hearse with suicide doors, a bit macabre?
Ha totally
Can you patch Air bags?
No. At least not that I’ve seen anyway
Be Nice if you had the money to build n extend your Garage for more Work Shop huh
I was actually going to in 2020 but then the lumber prices got so crazy high I can no longer afford it. And then Laura decided she wanted to move so it kind of became low priority.
Why don't you put a plastic cover over it?
I have a few times. But seems to be more trouble than it helps.
In stead of complaining about the rain getting in the car when it rains why don't you tap plastic over the windows to stop the rain from coming in . Or is that to easy .
It sounds easy.
love the car, sorry but I have to watch with the sound off
I don’t blame you.
@@Theoldironworkshop thats sum funny chit
I believe the symbol that became the (ugh) swastika was originally a Native American symbol. Hey was that a cubano sandwich?
Yes. Yes it was. And it was tasty
what is your job?
I am the tech-support guy for an industrial air conditioning manufacturer.
@@Theoldironworkshop ill bet you are busy this summer
Every summer. I worked in the field for 31 years. Now it’s Time to use my brain and not my body
Hi there mate you did take your loving little lady with you
She is funny has fuck but having bit time out mate the
Caddy coming a lone nicest mate .
No unfortunately she had to work.
Don't you own a trap?
No.
So sorry but t is not a swastica as it is reverst it is its oranagel form of a sing of good luck/fortune from Inden sub conteynunt I belev
Yes Funny thing is I’ve heard a few different versions of its origin. However I’m sometimes surprised they haven’t been changed.
