Finally getting the doors painted and put back together. Actually feels like I'm working on a whole car now not just working on parts.

 

Looking good!

Man I tell ya Aaron there’s not a single video that you make that I don’t say “ohhhb so that’s how that works” out loud.

Thanks man. And congrats on forward motion on the project

 

Cool Tim. I try to show "how" I do stuff, not just show what I have done. I hope it makes things easier for other people that may do it in the future.

 

You make it easier to understand Aaron,Thanks.

First start of the 1950 Ford/Mercury Flathead.

 

Yeah buddy! That’s a real fire breathing hot rod!

I love when all of sudden the fire extinguisher appears haha

Great stuff

 

It's alive Aaron!! Congratulations on such a huge milestone!! You're giving the rest of us inspiration and hope. Thanks for the videos. Well done!!

 

Good job! You will be driving it soon.

That thing sounds great - woohoo! Love the videos.

 

Haha, ya. The fire extinguisher was there from the beginning. I don't always trust myself!

 

Thanks Brian, pretty good feeling when it fired the first time.

 

It's getting close!!!!!

 

Thanks Simplestone. The camera kind of messes with the sound. It's a lot quitter than I expected it to be. Can't wait until the new starter comes in and I can tune it up better.

 

YEAH, BABY! Now that's what I'm talkin' about! Sounds awesome Aaron!!
These are the times that make the tedious journey all worth it. Glad you shared the start up with your family/friends. Go put some miles on that great little coupe, and thanks for taking us along.

 

Thanks Greaser. Ya, I waited until my boys could come up to start her up. I still have things to do before a test drive, but it's getting closer.
Working on interior stuff now.

 

That is awesome!!!! I remember when I fired my car for the first time after working on it for about five years. Couldn't wipe the grin off my face for hours. Then when I drove for the first time it was straight to the gas station to fuel up and we got swarmed by every one there wanting to check it out. Then we fired it up to leave, nothing sounds better than a flathead with a radical cam!!

 

Congrats Aaron! The Flathead sound great!

Yep, smiled for hours! I can't wait until that first drive and the drives after.

 

Thanks

 

Great job, Aaron! Sounds nasty!

 

Thanks brEad

 

Just a quickie of the Flathead running.

 

Sounds great! How big are the tail pipes? Diameter wise.

Really really like how your dash turned out

 

That’s the ticket!

Thanks Tim, the whole exhaust system is 1-3/4".
