FULL BUILD - BARNFIND 1934 FORD COUPE !!

Full Build-
My Dad and i picked up this Aussie body 1934 ford coupe hotrod from south Australia late last year where it had been sitting abandoned for at least 30 years we met the owner and dragged it from the carport (barnfind haha) and towed it back to the workshop and commenced the rebuild!
We love survivor cars so we think the car looks great the way it is with all its chips cracks and scares to tell a story!
we did a full mechanical over hall on the car with a brand new second hand 1941 mercury flathead with twin 94s. from alibaba
We got the car ready and drove it to the River City Reliability Run in January and it was its first major drive!! 750km round trip.
This body is different to the American 1934 ford 5 window coupe, this is an Aussie body build here in Melbourne Australia at our old Geelong ford plant!
had a few disasters in the rebuild finding other parts broken that we didn't know about!

We don't get many here! A nice 34 roadster was found last week so it must be the season!

i just found your videos man. First of thank you for not being a typical youtuber. Your style of video is more like M539 restorations (my favourite youtuber). i do have one criticism though would you mind going into more details about the car or the parts and steps you are taking to do the task at hand for those of us who arent familiar with old cars it helps us to connect with the videos more. Thank you and keep up the good work

Hey Cal, how are the carbs holding up?

[@CalONeill]

Still working and not leaking! So I'd say they holding up well
