Brent when are you getting back to the GMC roadster?
Just finishing up the 54 quick to get some road miles on er then be back on the gmc.
I double dated with a friend from high school who had a ‘54 hardtop with three on the tree. Returning to the car with our dates it would not turn over. I pushed it all over the parking lot while he popped the clutch but it wouldn’t start. He finally walked to a phone booth and called his dad. The first thing his dad asked was “did you check the cable to the starter?” We looked at each other while he crawled under the front in and said “try it now.” Started right up!! Our dates were impressed….. with his dad!😂
Hehe
Love this car!!!
Brent you and Carl have fun together that's great to see 2 men without egos.
Nice to see the 54 back in action. I see Pablo enjoying himself as always. Thanks for the video Brent

The 54 is such a sweeet ride , It looks good standing still , and looks great in motion . Karl is the kind of friend every man should have , he fits in so well with the surroundings and his laughter matches yours so perfectly . Thank you both and all the members in the shop for this update . Stuart in Ontario ..

Karl thank you for working on that car. . look at the fenders many men worked on that car and we gotta keep that car alive .. let's get a 4 link and a nos bottle on'er and tune that baby to the moon and put a Ford 9 in rear end on that gogetter moonshine runner!

The old girl needs a chance to get out and run, she kept you going between shops. Carl is one of the good guys.😎
Not much room under the hood of the 54' with an LS stuffed in the engine bay, mint!!
Love the ‘54.Great collaboration with Karl.

Nice work on the front-end repairs. Great to watch you and Karl 'working' on stuff. You look like you're having so much fun. The '54 is gonna be one great burnout machine for sure. Look forward to seeing what's next. Be safe and stay well.

Look I don't want to be a nay sayer but you two guys have way way too much fun together and It's a pleasure to watch this. Thank You
I just missed out on a 54 i was ready to buy. My buddys wake was the day i seen it and by the time it was over she couldnt wait and sold it The aerial drone shots are a great addition to your videos.
Thanks Brent!
Pablo rides again👍😊
She's a runner!
Hi Brent, I’m sure Pablo is asking to drive the 54, he’s trying to squeeze you out. Great to see you all. Hello Esther too.
Glad you learned to like the Jaguar front suspension. I started working for Jag in 88 and retired from there about 5 years ago. That suspension was used in cars capable of 140mph and even more. It will be interesting to see if the shock mounts clear on on bump. I remember you working on that one in the little garage after the fire. I bet it feels spoilt in it's swanky new surroundings. All the best, Mart in England.
Good video
'smoke wrench' haha you have a seriously cool place there mate !!
Oh Yea Burnout time Digging it Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the video. Another cool car.
That is some long dirt roads lol. I love the 54
Thanks for sharing, always interesting
good show like always thanks😎👍
I like Karl's comment about the idle!!
I hope the coolant didn't damage the main or rod bearings.
Nah oil pressure rocks and it didn't get driven much.
What a blast 🙌 wrench 🔧 with friends and a great time cruising all the relics and swapping at the meat 🍖 😀 munchies in auto cruse outs❤🎉😂
Thanks for sharing 😀👍
Mint thanks Brent
Nice exhaust note
Like watching your videos as it takes me back to my job, only problem every so often I get twitchy fingers, you know like when your wife is driving and you keep braking a pedal that’s not there.
Brent, if you've "loved" the Jag XJ's front calipers, you'll love even more the rear one (inboard brakes : really fun)
Most definitely head gasket problem.😊😊 4:41
Man the car sounds great, all ways a fun time when karl stops buy.
Excellent video Brent :) , Karl :) , Ryder :) , Pablo :) , Buddy :) , also all work on 1954 Car , yes sometimes something go as planned and other ones got have diagrams how work on from internet! I know myself found need information, instructions and how do it too in steps! That how things work for me Brent and be challenging too at times!

..Ralph
Bye Karl, thanks for the Assist!
I really like the 54, great cruiser! I like them better than tri-5s!
I love that car ! Thanks for another , Brother !
I had a 55 Chev, but the post 54 looks just a little better.
That is a great car!
Pablo looks like he wants to drive this one,
Cool video! Enjoyed watching ✌️ 😎
Hi Brent you got to say I love that 54. Sell your buddy Carl there he looks like Eddie Munster, pretty cool dude pretty cool
The car is sounds good. Another great video 👍👍
Too bad you and karl dont live closer to one another it looks like you two work well togather !
Good tunes!
Dammit Brent, now you have Karl touching everything under the hood!
Man, that is a cool car, always love those Early Chevys. Might just build my own some day 53 or 54.
Its all good as time is something no one has much more. Short summers and long winters... might think insulation now
Well, you hook up that turbo that thing looks like a awesome sleeper
I always found Seafoam worked Really well
I'm the same model year as your car. Had a few thing removed and replaced as well.
Yes Sir!!!
Funny about parts on a Jag. Had to rebuild the alternator on Ambassador Lils Jag at a generic electrical shop. After tearing it down had all of the parts in stock. This was in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Alternator was under the a/c compressor but slid out between the frame and the center link with a tweak from a pry bar of about 1/8". R&R of the actual alternator was about 20 minutes. Too bad she was a helicopter customer, otherwise it was an easy job. This was in 1990. Think the Jag was a 70s F type.
Until the Mustang II came out, Corvair front suspensions were popular with hotrodders, due to their compactness, simple disc brake (Camaro) and rack & pinion steering conversions, but the Mustang II had those features, standard. ;-)
