- In this video I rescue a 1947 dodge special deluxe from mr Hewes. We picked up this car a few years ago in one of the tank deals, then after a few beers I persuaded my dad that it was the perfect addition to his collection! how badly it will destroy his bank balance, time will tell!

Welcome back Mat!!!
Cheers!
he's had a 'Selling Sunset' makeover...looking good.
There you are! Missed you. Welcome back.
Nice to see you, fella!
Nice to have you back, we've been missing you and your dry humour!
Cheers!
Thanks for taking us along for the ride Mat 👍
Cheers mate
There should have been a second line to that- my condolences to you and your family, the dodge and your trailer reversing will live on with all the other memories you have.
Oi Oi fellah!
Yes what a bloody gem that car is. 'ColdWarMotors' is having fun with a 1947 Chrysler that looks just like that Dodge.
I think they were made by a few manufacturers post war!
@@fittermatChrysler,Dodge,Plymouth and Desoto all came from the same company but were similar in looks only . Not much interchanged between them .
Love it!
Good to see you back Matt. Those fittings being from across the pond could be national pipe thread (NPT) rather than the usual British Standard Pipe (BSP)
Yorkshire Joke: man goes to stone mason to get a headstone for his late wife, the stone mason is told to carve the epitaph "She was Thine" - with an 'E'; so upon visiting the installed headstone he found the carving: "E She were Thin!" - Told you it was aYorkshire Joke! 😇
I got the feeling that they weren't too happy to see you turn up in the middle of their excavator rescue!!
so he still exist on CZcams
Still ticking along!
@@fittermat great to see you back - I betting I am not the only one who have missed you
Good to see you back, where’s that fire truck.
Cool man. She is gonna run
Nice to see you to see you NICE
Crikey...thought you'd died!! Welcome back.
You're alive!
Glad to se ya back m8
Good your back!
More to come!
Beautiful car, I wish good fortune on getting it to turn over!
She will get there eventually!
I enjoyed following along ...!
Just some points to make , that looks like it could be a CANADIAN produced Dodge ( shorter wheelbase , different brightwork , no Fluid Drive ) If so , I believe they are equivalent to the USA PLYMOUTH which has the short wheelbase , and slightly smaller engine ( 217cu in vs 230 c.i. ). Few actual engine components interchange though they outwardly look similar. Electrics for both are positive earth , E brake works on a drum behind the gearbox. DeSoto and Chrysler 6s are different again .
Great to see you Mat, and what a beautiful motor 💪👌👍
Good to see you back with a video Matt. You have been missed.🎉
Cheers! Appreciate it!
Good to see thee back, Mat! And this looks like a cracking project.👍
Be a nice thing when it’s back together
Glad to see you back Matt 👍
Cheers!
Really enjoyed that! Nice one Mat!
Glad to hear it!
Good to see you back mate 👌
Cheers!
With that color and that plate you could get a few bob for it in my neck of the woods. WSU (Washington State University) colors are crimson and grey
8:00 Er about as useful as Chocolate Teapot!!!! 😂😂😂
Fitter Mats back with all the wit and crack. It's good to see you YTing again, I'll see thee...
Cheers
That is a great looking set of wheels.
She will be great when she’s done
Gorgeous motor 😮😮
Cheers!
Nice to see you back mat . And yorkshire of course. 😂.
Cheers!
That trailer spare looks mint
That should be a positive earth system. Almost all vehicles were positive earth until 1960 or thereabouts . My 1959 Ford Anglia was one of the first negative earth cars in the UK that I've come across.
Great vid thanks, that motor sits very low in the body look cool
It does!
A cracked head on a Kubota ? Now there's something you don't see every day/ week/ month/ year 😂😂😂😂
Not seen a comeback like this since Barrymore…. Oh wait..
Alright at the front,alright at the back,alright in the deep end??🫣
Yup, it has a got a warning label: Dodge!…. My 1940 Dodge is a positive ground electrical system. The Flathead 6 was used from the 1930s to 1968, I think.
Have you got a longer strap. 🤣🤣🤣
nice car, its got the same engine as a dodge weapons carrier
It does!
Spare tyre on that trailer looks mint.
The Dodge is very nice though. Lick of paint on the hood and it's cherry.
If you squint, it’s mint!
Last year then, because you ned a boat in that field now :D
It’s took me awhile to get round to the editing!
@@fittermat I know that one, I just sort of stopped one day? Until I buy a new film editor it will stay that way :o Anyhoo, you have to admit that old CAT 360 came out good in the end :)
I'm surprised that is a 12V system. I would have expected 6V, probably positive ground. Perhaps that beast has already been partially worked on, several times.
It is a 6v system, just two battery’s to up the rampage rather than the voltage
Metric sockets to remove the starter?
Sometimes you’ve got to go with what you’ve got to hand
I don't think Joe like USA cars lol.
Are you two effing married?
Bloody hell… can you try keeping the camera steady? Serious motion sickness watching this. Or trying to. 🤮
All that bitching about the gears - I had a Vauxhall with three on the tree back in the day. It was a pa with a split windscreen.
Dear Mr Kadyrov can you please stop making so much noise it's making my vintage tank followers tetchy and threatening to start some serious WC Incarceration, Mr P of course is not impressed with your oligark performance over the last 6 months, so, for christ sakes get your finger out and start delivering some sort of content that we (your fans) can take the piss out of!
this was times ago lol are you sure joe's not dead?
He wasn’t last time I checked!
