The temporary support cradle for the engine while working out the engine mounts, was a hell of a good idea. Well done, sir!
Glad you liked it, works well!
Loved to have had you for my " TRADE SCHOOL " Instructor back in High School, Your great , Sir !
Thank you!
With only about 650 commercial vehicles made in 39 it really makes you wonder how many of them got shipped to South Africa. Has to be super rare. Back to my binge...Lekka Boet!!
Yes, good question!
Div!!! You never cease to amaze me!!! Ive swapped a few engines in my time and even made my own motor mounts and trans mounts buy man did I thoroughly enjoy your jig you made with the bolts that you supported your engine with from underneath and also used the bolts to tweak and get it perfectly level. Very clever!!! I will add that to my tool bag Boet!! Great stuff!!! See ya in the next one!!
Thanks boet. Yes, that simple jig really makes it easy to set up perfectly
@@ratrodsafrica worked like a champ!!!
If you're happy with it, so am I. Looks great! Cheers from the shed
Thanks for the LEKKA talk this morning when I turned up unannounced at your place. Also nice of you to escort my low little car out of the muddy mess.
No problem, thanks for the visit!
You will probably have, one of the fastest Hudson in South Africa 👍
Man u really help a guy in building a real rat rod truck very inspiring and teaching u do such a great job Duff I believe watching u I can start my own builds 👍👍👍😎
I'm happy if I can inspire man!
It's awesome you tell and show what you are doing easy for anyone to understand what you're doing.
Hi-def we love watching you from Weston West Virginia in the United States of America
Hello Weston!
I really enjoy watching your problem solving and fabrication skills. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching brother!
I’m amazed how well you can make this look easy, but I know it’s not easy, you are one of my top 3 channels, here on u- tube, I hope you have a great week, looking forward to the next video, have a great day my friend. Brian.
Wow, thank you Brian!
The Hudson is diamond in the rough Div.
Hi Div, here's another piece of Hudson trivia for you. In 1947, Hudson's distributor was building a new $1.2 million dollar assembly plant in Johannesburg.
Wow! Interesting
DIV, you and ratrodbob never fail to amaze me with your fabrication skills ! Keep it coming !
Thanks brother!
Lekka job Diff. I'm diggin the build. Lekka attn to detail. No question
"THAT truck will be a BEAST"
Brother the Hudson is looking awesome....thanks for posting a new video
My first Legal Car at 16 was a 66 Cutlass with Big Block Chevy. I set my ride height low in front also. Love the Rake👍
Very nice job on the engine mounts. Truck is coming right along nicely.
Thank you
Looking good, very rare and a great bit of fun to preserve for the future!
I think so too! 👍
Awesome Div. Thats looking great. Thanks for the history lesson too. I enjoyed the tech talk and explanation. Thank you for sharing boet.
Hey boet! Yes, you like the tech stuff. Think you will really enjoy next week's vid. Let's see...🙂
Love ya work Div. Just a rat rod. No way. You're building with the care of a Rolls. Great stuff.
Thanks brother! 👍
Welcome back Div, another job done properly. I love this Hudson truck. Something different from the norm. Lekker man.
Dankie Jacques!
Diff is back I missed you last week boet. Awesome fabricating on Enjen and gearbox mounts and thanks for explaining your method. Thanks for sharing your video. Take care boet.
Thanks boet. And pleasure
Very nice work building both of those mounts ….
It's looking great, thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones, have a Lekka one,
Good to see you back in the shop.
Bart
Thanks. Still kicking! 😄
Nice to see more progress on installing the motor and transmission. In the past, I have used bushing material on the tubing part of the mount where the bolt goes through. Your cradle bracket was a good tool to get your engine placement bubble inside the lines.
Thank you. Yes, the cradle helped a lot!
Diff you are a good teacher ! Your videos are always awesome !🙂
Thank you!
Nice rake and engine angle. Especially as I decided on the same 3 degrees of rake and three degrees of backward engine angle on my project just a few months ago too.👍
The Hudson is a cool truck, nice to see the progress
Nice! Great minds think alike! 😁
What a great lesson in alignment - thanks for passing on your knowledge
My pleasure👍
Awesome morning brother great to see you again brother !!!!!! Pray all is going well with yall again !!! Have been waiting patiently to see a new video lol !!! Great to see you again brother !!! Awesome progress so far
Hey Div
Here in California we call tapit covers valve covers. Also spirit levels we just call them levels The little level you have, we call torpedo levels. And gearbox mount we called thim crossmembers . Or at least that’s how I’ve heard it not everybody probably says the same thing . I really like hearing the different ways things are called that’s awesome .
Great video you’re moving right along especially with all the camera set up an editing. Thanks
Thanks man. Yes, interesting all the different words for the same thing. Here's another one. We call a fender a mud guard 🙂
Nice job div. I enjoy the way you work with what you,ve got. A rare talent 👍
Thanks
Great video , lots of mechanical knowledge for your viewers . Good stuff !!!!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for the history brother ! Kick azz as always ! I enjoy the knowledge and experience you share with the world !
My pleasure!
Looking forward to seeing more videos.
👍🏻Nice job! Looking good! Thanks for the schooling
Hi Diff, 3° is what most manufacturers go by, thats why your Carb is now level.
One more job knocked off the list and done to perfection looks good
You got it going on with engine and looks great! That flat plate and tubing cost makes my wallet shrink like a swim in cold waters. Expensive it is now! DK, Omaha.
Everything expensive these days!🙈
Always good work and thanks for the history on the Hudsons. Hope you are ok..Paul from Ohio..
Cool back on the build glad to see you again working on your project take care div.
Always a pleasure div
A true master and you explain things so well. Very good video. I will watch all your videos.
Thank you! Welcome to my shop😊
Hey Div. Good video. It is surprising how much you can find out on the internet. Good to see that you have the drive train in the truck. Now all you have left is the rest. 🤣🤣Thanks for sharing.👍👍🍁
Only the rest 😂
Welcome back Div, Sundays are not the same without you. Great progress on the engine and transmission mounts. Nice job Boet. 👌 Take care my friend, see you next time. 👍
Thanks brother!
Love the way you teach people all the steps threw a build. So many people just show you on camera what they done. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge
You are welcome! Thanks
love watching how your mind works, it is obvious you have been at this for quits some time, all the best to you my friend
Thank you kindly.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤔Hmmm? Been standing here for hours.. Still haven't had anyone stop to give me a ride 😤👍👍👍👍👍👍... Seems nobody rides for free.. No one knows this better than Diff... He doesn't work in fiberglass like Ed Roth but Massaging Iron Oxide is more Diff's medium and is equally creative. Thanks for the update Diff. 👍🏁
😂 Maybe if you wave some money someone will stop?😄 That's what hitch hikers do these days in South Africa! And fiberglass makes you itch man!
@@ratrodsafrica 🤑👍
@@RaysLaughsAndLyrics 😂
Looks good. Got the hard part out of the way.
I was feeling your videos.
Always ready for a new video
Cereal box Aided Design
😄 Favorite tool!
Nice job Div, you'll be driving it soon, lol.
Glad to see you back brother
Another enjoyable video Diff, always helpful explanations. 0:01 😊
Glad you enjoyed it
Well done again Diff great work
Thanks again for another awesome adventure with you in progressing with your work of art !!!! Brother you are by far one of the best channels that I watch !!! Great to see yall again and have an awesome day brother ( leeka one )
Thanks man! Big compliment!
Love your work mate enjoy all your videos what a great teacher cheers
Thank you!
nice one Diff , fits nicely . when hudson started nascar racing they had Smokey Yunnik as theyre engineer, he was a very smart man,one of my heroes! he had the race blocks caste with the crank offset to get around a nascar rule that outlawed offset piston pins
Interesting!
Excellent work mate,pleasure to watch your videos👍💀
Thanks brother!
Hey from Mississippi brother just got time to watch
Exhalent Job on the motor mounts Div.i need to do the exact same thing when I put my new rebuilt V8 flatty in my 1930 AA wrecker this summer
All the best with your project!
Awesome, nice to see you back!
At last. Was already missing you.😜👍
👍
✌ Keep on Truckin !!
Love the Hudson
You make it look so easy.
Good to see you back mate.
Really coming along! 😎
Nice work! Enjoyed the Hudson history too 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Keep the good work 👍🇺🇸
Looking good Duff!
Love the way you work things out
your doing a great job
Fun fact, Canadian cars used to be right hand drive up until the 1920's when they switched to driving on the right to facilitate traffic to and from the United States.
Hey brother, great job again. Whenever you want to understand something better, we do too. So keep drawing your diagrams. It helps us see what you are thinking.
One small step for the rat rod build. One giant leap for DIY kind.
👍🏻👍🏻 from me!
Thanks brother!
Really great video and the mounts turned out great.
Thanks!
I think your motormounts will hold that big horse in the stall just fine
Great video as always. Thanks!
Another great video. Looking good 👍👍
Those ford mounts you can drill a hole thru the rubber and bolt it together. It is a fail safe incase mount brakes. Been doing that since the 70s
That's not a had idea! Thanks
Another great video my friend!
Thank you!
Hey Diff. Hey Boet. Coming along Good 👍. You need to incorporate a chain on your engine mount. So the made in India engine mounts from ripping apart when you stomppping on the Gas Pedal. Old trick on the old Cameros . Now is your time. Lol. I didn't think the drive shaft was in direct line when riding at normal hieght. Though it had to be at three degree angle. It don't wear um out. Still snowing in Sweden. Lol. Lekka Boet lekka. Have a good week. 👍
Another trick is to drill and stick a retaining bolt through the engine mount. I'm still going to build a 4 link setup in the back. Then we will set up the pinion angle correctly
You can buy a digital inclinometer real cheap, Diff - they're magnetic, tiny and precise - you can bang it onto the block & tune the angle bang-on. I have one & they're very handy - dirt cheap too.
I've seen those, but not in shops near me. Guess I can order one, but my old school model has been doing the job well enough 😁
Excellent! I don't have any tools. Yet, you make it look so easy. I am about to buy a 1954 International harvester pickup that needs work. You convinced me that anyone can do it.
You can do it! Persistence and patience is the main thing. And start collecting some tools🙂
The facts about Hudson are pretty interesting!! Great job on getting the engine and transmission mounts done!! It’s coming along nicely!!
Great vid, got my cuppa, my RRR shirt on ... mate says it's a self-portrait, except I don't smoke ;) Missed ya last weekend, but this vid made up for it... thank you for a great start to my Sunday. Differential pinion angle relative to Transmission output shaft angle, good lesson to learn... I have seen a lot of engine mounts that go across the front of the engine, as one single plate... that's engine mounted direct to frame, must be really noisy... I like you are still working with proper mounts, to help insulate the engine from the rest of the truck. Great work as always Div, danke boet !
Thanks brother! That solid mount business is race car stuff. Noisy and lots of vibration! My beard is grey now, want a more comfortable ride🙂
looking good my friend , im catching up on videos
Glad to have you back. Hope all your challenges were resolved successfully. Another enjoyable hangout watching this build come together. Thank you as always for the fun. 😊👍👍
Yes, at it again🙂 Thanks
Looks great as always
Flippen netjies en spot on!
Thank you.
Cool cool
Looking good brother keep up the good work. Love the fact you’re doing this way out in cow county lol 😊
Thank you! Mooo! 😂
NICE WORK MAN !
Looking better all the time Div. You're making progress in leaps and bounds.
Thanks for another great and informative video Diff :)
Pleasure mate!
Great work sir
