Fantastic, gentlemen!
Dear CWM Scott N.
👍👌👏 I agree! Simply true experts! Please hug Francine from me. Thanks in advance.
Best regards, luck and health in particular.
It's not just the old cars we like, it's the pair of you two, engaging, entertaining and informing.
Great history lesson on the Model A and the 32. Henry never stopped innovating. Glad Matt that the ankle is healing.
Nice comparison between the two models. It's amazing to see how quickly automotive technology changed in the '30s.
Matt + Jim, I love the fact that you guys have all of those original Ford tools like the cast engine lifter that fits the V8 sans intake manifold. And the comparo with the A chassis was a real treat! Thanks!
Good to see Jim is still getting a laugh at Matt's gammy leg LOL
Nice engine and glad to see you progressing in your mobility Matt. thanks to you and Jim for these informative videos.
Excellent presentation gentlemen.
..great to see you not having to use the crutches, Matt.....that had to be a drag....
Terrific episode, guys. Who doesn't like a side by side comparo? Matt keeps insisting he's not a '32 expert. Well, if he isn't, he's undoubtedly the next best thing. Didn't even know I was curious re diffs between the Model A and '32. Matt and Jim make a great team. Between the two, there's not a whole lot they don't know in their chosen field of vintage automotive.
Very cool to see the Chassis comparison. Quite the leap in design from the Model A to the Model 18/B.
What a neat little engine that changed the world. 65hp and only 15 hp more than the B 4 banger may not seem like much but that extra 15 hp when expressed in percentage is huge at nearly 35% more hp that’s quite the difference.
Thanks for sharing this
Better attention to detail than when built new.
Love your channel, guys. You never disappoint.
Can't pretend to understand all the comparisons but liked this Ford/ Model A comparison very much. Glad you're healing, Matt. Feets are no fun when they break.
Hey Jim!
What a difference a year makes! A 32 car chassis is one of nicest frames ever made!
Excellent explainer on the progression of Ford design back then. Thank you.
Hey , no crutches. Finally, good job.
The only shop on earth that has a lifting lug for a 32' Ford engine block AND whips it out to life a 32' Ford engine block out of a crate. 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Beautiful Piece of History ! Thanks Matt & Jim ! ...Newk from Kentucky
Cheers gents I look forward to each new release!
Thanks for taking us along with you guys.
Good to see you sans the crutches.
Nice episode gents
Cool stuff guys! And no crutches Matt-awesome!
That is a pretty chassis and engine combo.
*Edit Add: I scoured **#IronTrapGarage**'s Ebay inventory - that did not produce favorable results...I commented on a video of theirs the other day. They do not have a "Tall" 32 Coil at this time. All the best!* Sirs, are you not familiar with IronTrap Garage? They have a large warehouse space jam-packed full of flat head engine parts (nearly literally 😉). I'd be surprised if they didn't have the coil you're looking for. Glad to see you're crutchless! Excellent video! Thanks, guys!
Thanks for the lessons. I'm an old guy from Memphis but was raised south of Bismarck North Dakota. Miss the people but not the winters. Keep the content coming 🤠🤠🤠
I enjoy watching your informative videos and look forward to them. I wish my Pop born 1910 (RIP) would have loved watching these. Thank you a million.
Good tip
Motor mount bolts.
If the nut falls off , the screw drops out.
If you push the screw down into the hole ,and the nut falls off, the screw still stays ,and gravity looses.
I learned in machinist School ,
That when a nut and screw come together,that makes a bolt.
The type of tool too work it ,is not factor.
The bolt comes up through the bottom on flathead motor mounts. There is a cotter pin to prevent the nut from backing off.
14:40 - Switch to the Sepia-tone Filter and this could be a Ford Factory assembly line documentary! So cool to see. Love the access of a stripped chassis. No bench pressing the bell housing or mate with the tranny!
Very educational! Thanks boys.
Very cool to see the two chassis side-by-each! Cheers! (Matt I was messaging your missus about the sleds in your Dad's yard, the Nordic was eye-catching enough let alone having a Skiroule parked next to it! P'raps I oughtta trundle my Oly down the tracks and we can go for a burn!)
Hey good to see you all!
Guys, check with Matt at Iron Trap Garage. He will have it be able to locate the 32 period correct tall coil.
beautiful engine! good to see you hobbling around :D get well soon
Very cool to see the progression from Model A to ‘32 side by side. Good to see Matt on two legs again. Waiting to hear that flathead run!
Thanks fellas I really enjoy your content and am glad Cold War Motors sent me here. I'm pretty well versed in 46/48 V8's and the C59/69A so it is a real treat to see the engine that started the legend. Great that you compared the A Chassis with the Model 18/B, I have never seen these two cars with "no clothes on," great comparison. Greetings to you from NZ.
That's an interesting looking carb.I'd like to see more as you get it set to run.Thanks guys.I've never seen a flathead without the intake on.
Nice video Thanks for sharing!
Love the content of your channel guys. Good stuff.
Still a rag in the carburetor, don't forget. LOL
What a treat!! Thank You
Thanks for the informative and uplifting chassis tale!
Very good presentation of the differences!!!
What a tonic after a day’s work.
Cheers guys!
Excellent and informative, seeing the frames side by side?.... Ooo la la!
Keep up the good work! Vicarious wrenching at it's best.
Very well done video.
The knowledge that you two share is incredible. Thanks!
Very cool. I have seen 32 frame rails, but I had no idea there were so many differences between the 32 and the Model A. I really enjoy watching your channel. Nice to see Matt is on the mend.
Matt, Jim, love the show. And no crutches!! Awesome. Glad you're better.
That '32 truck will be sweet. Can't wait to see more of it. Thanks so much for sharing all of this. Cheers from Ohio
Very cool.
This is great! Thanks for helping with my dad's '32. Can't wait to see him rolling down the road!
Thank you for some 32 history. I have a 31 that I'm restoring the interior. Been a great experience with installing headliner, panels and fabric. Love the videos; seeing the shop and projects. Take care
👍👌👏 True experts, congrats! I'm eagerly looking forward to hear this really nice looking engine run. 2) Minus the crutches = congrats again! Hope the foot will be as good as before soon.
Best regards, luck and especially health.
What a treat it must be working on such great machines in that fabulous garage. I appreciate the efforts you have taken to share your expertise.
Good stuff !
Good job guys, look forward to seeing more 👍
Gonna be a good 1
What a gem of an episode, thank you chaps!
I was watching Uncle Tony's Garage the other day and he was tearing apart an engine and there where no door hinge pins in the pan. Weird.
Good to see that you're healing up well there Mr. Matt. I had no idea there were that many changes in chassis design between the Model A and the B. No wonder the '32 Ford was so beloved by hotrodders.
It’s always a treat. Can’t wait for the next one.
I am so happy for you guys to get these kind of fun jobs. You don't go to work, you leave the responsible job of dads and husbands to go play in a garage! No washing machine to repair at home or dipper to change, nope its grease and oils, plenty of cleaning where at home using the vacuum to sweep floors is a chore, this has fun written all over it. Also happy that your third leg has been removed, and you are getting around on two legs that don't quite understand their old responsibilities. I have used crutches for the last twelve plus years being a cripple. I am a mental cripple as well because had I tried a lot harder, I might still walk on my own. I just hated physical therapy and so avoided going at all excuses. Just owning my predicament i put myself into. I loved the ford anything studying how he developed his company. His strategy for the floorboards and the boards in the bed of the pickups was back when ford could still not make their own engines. They had to farm out the casting of the blocks. SO HERE COMES THE FUN STUFF.! Ford went to the company that was to build their engine, told them they would only accept those engines as long as they were in crates with certain length boards in crates to make the engine shippable. Their employees at ford were hired to take those crates apart carefully so they were direct bolt in to their vehicles. Once the company found out about this, they protested quite loudly but ford being a sob of sorts, took their grin off of their faces when he told them if its too much troubles for you, then just quit now. Your services are no longer needed as they had their own foundry set up to go. I was told this first hand by a man who worked at ford for a very long time, starting in the model t days. He was my grandfather.... a bit of a back story.... my father was born in 13, and granddad was born in 1884, I am oldest living born in 49, all prior to the two thousand era. My grandfather was also a foreman for ford in south america when he had a rubber plant there. All of my parents born a long time ago and of course grandparents even longer ago left me with very old people. I grew up feeling older than my years as I had to live at home till fifteen but at those years, my parents hung with people their own ages making me a kid listening to stories of their exploits. I really haven't made a good comment yet but to give you a break from reading the life and times of morgan, I bid farewell till the next time I hear from you
I always enjoy learning mechanicals from my knowledgeable friends up north. As one of your countrymen once said, “If they don’t find you handsome, they might as well find you handy.”
Great show, beautiful 32 chassis and engine. Wow there was a big improvement from the 31 to the 32 chassis.
I love Canadians when they speak. Great video guys.
Great show I enjoy your friendly and knowledgeable format, it’s like finding an episode of The Waltons that was long lost. Keep it up 👍
Excellent job and great content. Rare close-up showing details.
This channel is really coming along. I sure hope your business is successful , its quite a unique idea. I love it.
Thank you for the great lesson. I had no idea they were so different
Very enjoyable episode! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm for these old beasts...
So good to see you walking !
I learn this as a kid building AMT models.
Well know! This is all most interesting. I learned to drive on a 1950 f1 with the 100hp 239 and a 4 speed non synchronized of course. If you guys had been around me back in the day I'd probably still have it 😀
Glad you are back on both feet Matt!
Same here, it's the obvious friendship and good chemistry going on that's fun to watch. And thanks for keeping the language clean. So many times, I'll be watching some other channel and bombs gets dropped right out of the blue. Embarrassing when other folks are in the room with me. You guys prove you can have plenty of fun without all that. Good on 'ya. Really enjoy your shows.
Thank you for the run down! Informative as always!
good to hear bob baxter name...great guy with alot of knowledge
Great video guys! Mics are working well (not that I cared that much before - I can turn up this channel and have no fear of Al or Tom walking in! LOL). Learned a lot in this one since it's not my era. I like the longer videos.
Awesome
Not sure why, but it won't let me give you a thumbs up.
It's a nice specimen, of old engine unity, thanks for sharing, hope your injury gets better, all the best to yous and your loved ones
I warms my heart to see that flathead going in there . Pull that rag outta the carb if you're leaving the filter on. Cheers.
I am sure you all know this but just in case: Why was “18” used as the prefix for the 8 cylinder serial number?
Stood for. First 8. Now you know.
Love your channel
Excellent video! Thanks side by side comparison!!!
Happy you are doing well another great and interesting show
Every episode make me wish I had your chain hoist! Great job, and I'm looking forward to seeing what's in store for Jim's Model A, engine-wise.
Great show! Matt, glad to see you got rid of the training wheels.
Sweet V-8
GREAT Video Fella's! Keep Em' coming.
The Hot Rodder’s like the 32 for the frame.
There's a guy in Oak Creek Wisconsin with a Ford 30s pick up that's so nice it's ridiculous and it's completely stock and he's an old guy he had it for 45 years😄 have a great day
I’m just a cowboy. Just a Tin Lizzie
Hiya Matt and Jim
Always enjoyable. Interesting episode
Fun show!
Great show
Love it!
Very interesting!
Very impressive, this upload...
