This episode was a nice Christmas present, as wondering how you'd been getting along. All looking good so far, look forward to the next update.

The stars have aligned. New episodes from you and This Old Hot Rod. What more can a car guy ask for Christmas? There is a Santa!

You make sanding look so fun! I’ve been sanding on my 32 all week, and it sucks! But after watching this, I’m all excited to sand again tomorrow. Sanding your car is cool!

So Happy to see the updates on this project. Hope to see Lucky in the mix on the next chapter.

Tiny little gussets on sides for those tiny little ears on the rear bones would do wonders on longevity. Maybe even a piece of tube with a nylon spacer, capped with a chrome washer and a dome nut/bolt. The original one was a show piece, this I assume is going to get driven. So some modifications around overall safety has to be made. Easy fix now when all the parts are still on the table. If you leave the fix on the side of the road, it's not going to be that easy.

Awesome update, 2024 the year of Tweedy Pie.

Great job! Also, good to always see Joe's truck (thanks Harrison!)

So much work using and cleaning up the old parts vs new street rod stuff but it makes it so awesome good for you getting it done!

Sorry we could'nt all be there to help you spin the engine over on the stand but we were all grunting with you in spirit, well done on getting a lot done on tweedie looking forward to the next update, we all have other things in life to deal with which makes messing with cars Fun when we get the chance. cheers John

Can't wait to see it all together!!!

Going to be amazingly cool. Total respect for your dedication to the nostalgia.

Motor stands are like bumblebees. They shouldn't support their weight, yet they do! That's a lot of work my dude!

It's going to look so pretty.

Great episode, looking great.

Great job Piero. Glad to see you making some progress. Looking forward to more shows.

Gday lads great to see you back. It’s been way to long How’s it going lucky love your shop The bucket is looking great 👍👍

PART 17... ADVENTURES IN SANDING!!!! Hahhahahahaa! Seriously, man, you are knocking it out of the park, 'cause this is where always stall on my stuff.

Great to see things moving forward again.

Good to see you guys back, life certainly gets in the way of building Hotrods but it is what it is. Well worth the wait and look forward to seeing the next update. Happy New Year to you all from the UK.

Looking good awsome update

Great work. Looks awesome.

Looking Great! Keep up the Good Work!

Very nice progress on Tweedy Pie! Looks like the road is getting shorter and shorter for the finish line!! I noticed the rubber gaskets at the ends of the intake manifold vs. just a tall bead of silicone, comments may be mean, and haters may hate, you do it your way and it will be great!!

Amazing progress! You'll be driving your bucket before you know it!

Been waiting on this new episode for awhile

So glad to see the nitty gritty of blowing the car apart and giving it the love. This is a great motivator for me to get my ass back out in the shop!

Good to see a new video, keep up the good work it's coming along nicely!

Best episode

Very excited to see it done. This project inspired my 63 Rambler Roadster project.

Oh yess!

Great video work, thanks for sharing! You guys give me motivation to get started on my hot rod

I love sanding backing plates😂

This was awesome! Was waiting for an update and loved every bit of this! Snare stand wheel holder? I'm in sanding/priming/paint prep hell on my '46 Business Coupe, feel your pain. So, I've been buying back issues of Hop Up (late to the table) and me thinks I spotted you and Bob Bleed together in a shot! Had to share with my wife who replied, "You sound like a Fan Boy honey." To which I replied, "I am not ashamed to say I am!" Go Piero, and Lucky, and all the West Coast Rodders, keep moving forward! Can't wait to see what's coming next!

WE NEED MORE!!!

GREAT way to end the year! 🖤💯👍

Thanks for the extended update, was wondering how the project was coming along. Looking good. Can’t wait until the next video. Take care and Happy New Year.

Nice work Piero! Thanks for another great video!

Awesome video

So excited

Great car, great vids, keep them coming 😎

Lookin good,motor looks bad ass,good thing you have lucky to help you tune those carbs,man 3 is a headache so I can only imagine. I'm really excited to see this thing done.

So rad!!!

man, that engine looks the balls! interested in seeing if you can scare up a white radiator hose! thanks for the treat man and happy new year!

When you set up an engine on an engine stand, do not set up the pivot for the stand with the center line of the crankshaft. The stand pivot point needs to be well above the crank center line. The top of the engine has more mass than the bottom. I think you know that now.

Really enjoyed the update! Your dream is getting closer to reality. Cheers from Iowa

That motor looks killer

looking good only thing i hate is that rubber fuel line set up i made proper steel fuel pipes on my twin X2 carb set up here in aust they prefer you use solid lines over rubber less chance of leaking and fires

Shits getting real! That thing rules!

Awesome

Happy to get an update, thanks 👍

Awesome job buddy

Was wondering whirr you were. Looks like a dream already. Best wishes!

Its been a while, its been for ever ! Please get with it ! Thank you.

Inspiring, nice work.

Lots of work accomplished for sure. that engine is looking great. You accomplished a lot of tedious work.

really looking good!

New subscriber , I'm loving it 👍

Whew! That’s a lot of work, friend. It all sure looks great. So inspiring. I’m determined to get back to work on my projects! Thank you!

Motor looks sweet.

Lots of work but it’s paying off, the colour against the polish/chrome is class. Looking forward for more in the new year 👍👍

What a way to start my New Year’s eve! What an amazing episode, i’m learning tons, your attention to detail is off the rails, i love the way you describe everything, teaching while building and restoring so even for a rookie like me gets it! Love your support cast too, Cheers to you Piero, Tweedy Pie is amazing and Happy New Year to you and your crew!!✌🏾

More please. 😂

So it does rain in southern California! The sound had it all wrong!LOL!

So damn cool. I need to get back on my Trpu.

Make sure you use slip plate on those leaf springs when they go back together. Don’t use petroleum based lubes.

Cool. Glad to see more on this. Can you provide your chrome shops website?Website? Getting chrome done in Ohio is a pain. Got back to my car after 23 yrs. Thanks to you guys

The problem with polished parts is they start to oxidize almost right away unless you clear coat them. You`ll be constantly be re-polishing them unless you clear coat them. Ask me how i know.

Sunday morning New Year’s Eve. I get to watch lg speed. Then you come on next! What a a way to end a shitty 2023. It’s been a really tuff yaar. Won’t be long now we can start a new. Piero I would like to wish you and your family lucky and his family all your friends and subscribers a happy and prosperous new year. Will you make the big show in February? Cheers from England.

Stoked to see this thing finished ! Curious though, what kind of weenie can't flip a motor on an engine stand ?

So stoked to see another episode I noticed something when you put the intake on. You didn’t put an oil separator canister in the lifter valley for the road draught tube. Without it the road draught tube will puke oil all over the ground and bottom of the car.

🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳

motor looks bitchin dude ...... keep up the good work ....... your smashing it 👊👊

You should work on a piece of carpet ,metal bench will ding your polish work

looks really sharp where did you get your linkage from.

noticed you put your gaskets on dry... do you ever use any gasket seal? Motor is beautiful.. very nice work..

Hard for me to relate. Six new Stromberg$, mega chrome to come but rattle can paint?

Killer! Carbs need polished....😊

Binge-watching all the Car that ate my brain 2; Tweedy Bird videos, but I know that Piero had a heart attack in March 2024... feels kind of weird watching, when Piero is exerting himself...I want to yell like we did at the movies when we were kids when the villain was behind the good guy: "Look out behind you!!"

Is that motor a 283 or a 327? I see it has 283 powerpac heads but so does my 327 . Have they ever mentioned what the engine is?

Ssshhhwwweeett

Where can i get the first "car that ate my brain"? Being in the UK cannot watch on Amazon, cannot find the DVD any where

This is coming along great. I'll be following this one for sure.
