Cold War Motors gave your Stude some air time on their weekly drop, it's got me excited that you and your content have left a good impression on one of the best paint and body channels! To be fair, I think your interiors may have given him some encouragement when he reupholstered the '60 Fury.

Love that my two favorite channels are aware of eachother. 🤙

Hello Jonathon, I am amazed at the transformation from what you started with, and just look at it now!!! Jonathon, you have many talents. I know this was not an easy project. Most people would have never considered it possible to do what you have done.😊

Nana is the coolest cats I've seen on KZread! She really loves you. I agree with you on getting rid of that chain link steering wheel. I never really cared for them. Keep up the great work Jonathan!!!👍👍

Nana's awesome. :)

Made my Monday Morning coffee taste better watching the yellow street rod being born again. Looking like a street rod that I always dreamed about driving through town and every one looking my way. Way to go Jonathan W. nice job.

On that old Grant wheel, if you want to stabilize it, try penetrating epoxy. CPES is a good formula. Apply it and let it soak in. Just before it kicks off completely (while it'll takes a finger print, tacky) apply Min-Wax polyurethane varnish. I suspect semi gloss would be good. Needs to be Min-Wax to work with CPES. It'll create a a bonded finish that is durable and most weather resistant. If you want darken the wood prior to CPES, use alcohol based die like dark walnut. As soon as you hit it with the CPES it'll pop color wise. I use a scotch brite pad between varnish coats, but bronze wool works well too. No steel wool as it'll make rust spots in the varnish as it ages ...

Happy to hear the grant wheel is going back on there, suits the car, interior looks well

Hi Nanna 🐈 Catscan 😊 glad you are going back to the wood steering wheel. Brown carpet looks great! Nice job 👍👍 sweet Ride 😊

Very nice old school Hot Rod. You have all the fun tools and can figure how to do whatever is needed. Great video Jonathan! Fun to see back in vehicles. I love the steam stuff, but cars are easier to relate to. Take care and be cool. Dennis

Beautifully done!! I've watched every video you've made on this project as you made them and as the project progressed. Its been great to watch as your many of your amazing talents and abilities have been displayed. Thanks for taking your fans along for the ride! May God bless.

It's really looking cool. I like the dark brown carpet. Thanks Jonathan and Nana. 👍🇺🇸

Amazing transformation especially considering the dawg of a project you started out with. Looks really great !

For the next carpet job , sew a piece of vinyl upholstery material about a inch wide to the carpet . Place it underneath and fold it over the top to hem the cut edge .

Man, she is a beauty! Wish we coulda heard them glasspacks! Bet she's a load of fun to drive!

Happy Monday to you Jonathan and Meow to NaNa, 👍on the Carpet!!!

Love this hot rod, old school works! The darker brown carpet is perfect!

I just got my beloved MGB out of the storage it's been in since the first COVID lockdown. Your recent videos on the hot rod are the encouragement I need to finally tackle the restoration of the interior. It's black with velour seats right now which was "year correct", but I'm going to ignore the people who insist on keeping it original and go for red with leather seats.

I always enjoy your videos and have learned a ton from you over the years of watching. I never witnessed some of the things like adapter plates to connect obsolete motors and transmissions that you build. You amaze me and motivate me to do more metal fab projects around my place. Was wondering what happened to your homemade motorcycle? I dont remember a video of it being driven. That project was also amazing! Thank you for sharing your videos and your knowledge. I never get tired of watching.

Hey Jonathan nice job I like to color better than the other one can't wait to see the next video with the doors done turning out to be a sweet looking ride have a great day excellent video

Good to see her Nananess is doing well. Hard to find good help, she's a winner for sure. The buggy's lookin' sweet, I'll bet it's a pile of fun to drive too. A great ice-cream-getter.

That exhaust looks great. I like your idea for the carpeting. It looks better than the lighter one. That is a nice ride. I'm very happy for you that you can enjoy that wonderful car.

She looks spectacular, Jonathan! I don't remember; are those Cherry Bomb mufflers? Whatever they are, they look amazing! The whole set-up looks amazing! Well done, sir!

Always amazed at your wide variety of talents !

That thing amazes me, I can't believe how nice it came out.

The chain wheel is, in my mind, naff. The other is way better. What you have built is brilliant!! You have great skills.

Carpet looks great with the Dash! I've been admiring your faux burl. Excellent job - very 1930s!

Beautiful, well done! I learned quite a bit on carpeting, thanks! Much enjoyed the video, thank you!

Looking good You're right about the steering wheel but it don't look that bad keep up the good work keep them videos coming we enjoy them

A possible easier way to do the carpet is to lay it crossways. Fit it over the hump and cut all the edges straight to the body. Cut it straight across at the rear edge and put a welt on the cut edge. Do the rear section the same way but lay it under the front section. May have to do a couple relief cuts in places and sew those up or use carpet fusing tape, but less work than going the whole length. Cars from the 60-80's had two piece carpets.

Ya, I chuckled when you showed the chain steering wheel in the last video. Years ago, I took a car on trade with a chain steering wheel. Took it off the next day. The car is looking very nice! Enjoy it.

I’m always amazed by your skills and problem solving. Fantastic.

What impresses me about you is you finish what you start!

The chain wheel might be neat to cover the chain in epoxy so it’s round instead of chain shaped

Can't blame you for changing out that chain stering wheel. Gotta be a million degrees out in the sun! 🥵

Matches the dashboard nicely!

You have to be proud of how good it looks, starting from worse than a basket case! Inspiring to say the least

Nana was just striking a pose for her write up in Hot Rod magazine, she's a real babe and definitely a star. Jonathan, I'm sure a lot of people have already told you but it is nice to see more car videos lately. I enjoy the steam engines but I've been pining for the good old days. I'm waiting for the steam engine car, I'm sure you can find you an old steam engine auto, Put out some feelers and I'll bet you can get a lead on something just right for a guy who is not afraid of fixing something. Whatever you do I'll be watching. 😀✌❤

The car looks super!! Great ideas on the interior!! I thought you would not like that chain wheel!! All the best from Canada

The Grant wheel looks great on that car. I'm surprised you don't do your own nickle plating considering all the things you dabble in.

I have done some nickel plating. I built a motorcycle engine where I cast the block and nickel plated some of the parts.

Jonathan, You are having fun getting it closer. We can't wait to see the final product. Then you can enjoy it. Thanks for another enjoyable video!

The roadster looks awesome I enjoy you Sharing your knowledge with us

Talk about multi-talented! You amaze me, Jonathan.

That roadster is cool Jonathan I'm digging that canary yellow paint thumbs up

LOVE, love that "Yeller " roadster...................

Love that you're back to working on car projects JW. I've been a subscriber for several years and that was how I originally found your channel. Hi to Nana cat!

I knew you wouldn't like the chain I had one on my 40 Dodge coupe drove down the road maybe 5 miles came back took it off threw in in scrap pile I have brought hands at that time I was logging from running chain saw to pulling cable on the skidder up here in the mountains of southwest Va You got the ok girl looking sweet but it nice to see nanna cat doing good I had to blurry moms last cat mom died 3 year's ago and was taking care of the cat but you stay out of that hot sun as much as you can and drink plenty of water stay safe my friend

You did a great job on the carpet Jonathan,it looks really great…I am not much for the chain wheels either.

This is the project that you were starting when I first found your channel, so happy to see it's almost finished!

Watching you working on that lil rod sure makes me smile. All the steam engine stuff is great to understanding our industrial history. But that can realy get deeep. There's a simple joy in rods and the friends you become involved with. I can't imagine a bunch of ol steam heads meeting up in the parking lot of a pizza or burger joint. Peace from California

Have to agree that the dark brown does look better! Thank you Mr Jonathan for the video!

"buzzards on a gut-wagon" That's a new one on me!

Hi Jonathan, Is there some way you could get the steering wheel incased in resin? resulting in the same look but more comfortable to handle.

Absolutely love the old school look of that wheel and I hope it stays on the car 👍😎

Wonderful work as always

Back in the 1970's a buddy put a 10 inch foam padded steering wheel on his '55 Chevy. Looked really cool but with no power steering it was a bear to park so he went to a 14 inch Grant after that.

i believe u can use chalk on carpet to lightly mark out lines/cuts if that helps, sewing shops sell a little chalk wheel pizza cutter type deal to help mark (lay out patterns) on fabrics and carpets. then after its finished you can vacuum of wash the chalk away easily long as you don't over do the chalk :) just an idea hope it helps in future! :)

A very nice little rod Jonathan, homemade the way there should be.

All that looks good to me 👍 this time of year we get the heat after the rain same as you & l ain't even wanting to think about the humidity but the cucumbers seem to like it

Definitely liking how your roadster is turning out. Beautiful job in spite of what you started with and its origins. Nicely done, Jonathan!

That wheel looks great with one brace out of the middle she look better I would say.👍

Great video! Love the hotrods and Studebaker. I think I know that Studebaker.👍 I saw it in the old building where it was stored.

I like the darker color carpet. If you can't put some miles on your Roadster. What good is it. All my cars were built to drive, a lot. Nice looking ride Jonathan. Dark days were when you started on the 31. Now it's bright and shiny from here on in.

Nanna's just a lover/ Such a sweet girl

I dig the old school ride Jonathan. Love all your videos buddy. Mike from Indiana

Nana-approved roadster! Gonna have to watch she don't shed all over the carpet too... XD

Hi JW, lol Nanna knows u luv that car and she wants some of the Luv She's a cool cat lol Cool like the Oldschool !!!! Luv ya JW and Fam! Peace! from down Under!

One slick ride Jonathan!!

I sure enjoy all you do. A very talented man.

Great to see progress on this car!!

Since that metal piece lives below the door, I believe it's called a "Threshold". ???? I've seen lots of carpets with a color matched vinyl piping at those cut/seam points. Don't know what the sewing procedure is for using the piping but it results in a pretty nice looking "joint". Watched this entire build when you did it. If memory serves, I've seen people use JBWeld to repair the cracks in the steering wheels. They used to also have "restoration" kits. Without question, you ended up with a very nice looking car!!! Enjoy !!! 👍👍👍✌🖖⚙🛠🗜🔩🔨😉😉

Evening Jonathan, considering where your hot rod came from, she looks pretty darn good! I'm not a "yellow" kind of guy, but hey, it's your car!!

wow that car looks great really digging the brown carpet

A hot steam iron would help to mold the carpet.

Hi Johnboy Nana is watching the car so no one will try to drive it of and the car is looking good can't wait until it's finished so Kathy can take me for a ride Johnboy.

Great job! Love it!..thanks for sharing and stay safe..:-)

Looks Great ! Thanks for another great video and for taking us along . B

Jonathan, there is an exact model Studebaker for sale in Lillington near the Wendys that Scott from Cold War Motors wanted to buy this week from a junk yard.

I have had good luck changing the color of car rugs with fabric paint, works good and holds up. However I was doing this 50 yrs ago, maybe they don't make the paint the same quality as they did back then. Nice looking roadster, nice job on the interior too. Thanks for all your interesting videos.

Nanna is the star of your show when she does the Kat Scan.

I really like the yellow paint. Looks sharp.

I had one of those chain steering wheels with manual steering and when after turning a corner letting loose of wheel so it would spin back it would beat my fingers to hurting...LOL!

As always you’re doing a amazing job on this car ❤ love the video content. Cheers brother

Jonathan W Hello Friend I've been following your channel for years, It's good to see you're still wrenching on the cars and trucks so keep up the great work here from Philly PA God Bless 🇺🇸🇺🇸😃😃💪💪👍👍👍👍

I wonder if the headers will get hot enough forward of the dumps to discolor the cowl paint. make a good war wound I guess😆👍👍

Your carpet color looks great with your dash

This 16 minute video felt like 3 minutes as it flew by.Great job on this as i saw what you started with.

Awesome always cool stuff always thanks 😎

Looks great!

Coming along nicely!

From yard art to true art

Looks fantastic 👍

My favorite part the Anti-Theft AKA three pedals

NOTE: to keep Ninna occupied and distracted, you just need to put an empty cardboard box somewhere in the vicinity, preferably somewhere between her and the car. Cats are fascinated by boxes and must hop inside them at every opportunity.

Like your darker colored carpet very nice .

Looking really nice!

That wass a great video Jonathan! Thanks!

Johnathan you are the man I've learned so much from this channel, thank you. Central California watching.

Wow such a beautiful car!!

Looks awesome Jonathan 👌
