Thank you Steve, for explaining everything, and Thank you for your service, Grandpa Crabb, from the greatest Generation...

Thank you and especially Your Family for ALL they did and endured during the most trying time in American history!!! You are of America's finest!

Thanks for the Gunner's Mate tribute to your Grandfather and our warriors. Semper Fi,.

That was one of the best generations this country ever had, My grandfather served in WW2 and was at pearl harbor. They could of known each other. Great story. Total gear head I am, mechanic and welder. Thanks for the videos.

Gene Winfield is such a legend a true American icon!!!

Thanks for a great video! Great story, makes what we do even more special, my Dad was in Pearl Harbor in the Navy. God Bless our troops

As a Gunners mate myself thanks for your tribute to your Grand Father!

Awesome history talk. The"GUNNERS MATE" Fitting name for the tribute thanks Grandpa.

Thanks Steve its awsome to see these cars still driving.

Wow!! Beautiful '32 you have there.. I absolutely love the raw, mechanical, early period that you built it in. Pure hot rod right there. Well done sir! Just subscribed.

Thanks Steve! Pretty clean underneath too! In my dad's later years he told a story of being on a troop ship, maybe 15 thousand men, and one ship near them was hit by a U-boat and sunk. Korean War days. My oldest brother was USAF in Viet Nam, 2nd oldest brother I watched graduate Navy boot camp in San Diego and that's what I chose after graduation, 1971. Draft was still in effect. One of my mom's efforts was mailing packages to veterans with cookies, socks, toothbrush, general things. Grew up here in Antelope Valley, and lived briefly in Vegas before, so I'm similar desert rat...lol

Steve, I thank you for the story. I thank your family for the service. Once again you built a truly inspired work of art.

I love all of the extra details about the car and the fact that you would share a part of your life history with us is amazing. Thank you for all you guys do! Always learning something great and new with every video yall put out!

I like your car and I like the detail you go into on the build. The story about your grandpa and his brother waving to each other from the bow of their respective ships was great. My dad was a gunner's mate on an LST in the Pacific in World War II. He and his counterpart (gunner's mates were paired on his ship - one was a loader, one was a shooter) remained lifelong friends afterwards.

This was a way better show then the tv Hollywood show (which I watched all the episodes and enjoyed). Thanks for taking the time and sharing all the stories.

I know what a Gunner's Mate is Brother. This vehicle is a wonderful tribute, and I posted this video to the GM Facebook page. You should get a lot more hits and subscriptions! Gunner's Mate Chief Retired

Cool car, I would straighten out those headlight lenses. I'm glad to see that it doesn't have a diesel engine in it.

Built in the true early Hot Rod design... I Love it.

Thanks for these vids Steve, and for sharing the story of your Grandpa

You are hands down my most favourite TV and KZfaq car guy because you are the only one who knows what he is talking about and actually works on the car and knows everything about the car to the last bolt. Keep it rolling man...

Goddammit one of the best videos I've seen on YT in a while!

Love your show...Thanks for all the ins and outs..I love how you throw the "rules" out the window! Very cool

Thank you for your family’s service and thanks for sharing!

Great car and great story. Thank you gentlemen for your service.

Wow!! Thank you for sharing your family story!!! May your grandfather and uncle rest in heavenly peace!!!

You should bring that to Deuce Days car show in Victoria B.C. this summer. I think its the worlds largest gathering of '32 Ford's and Vic Edelbrock Jr used to be a regular guest. It's an awesome show! Dont miss it.

Such a classy car man thank you for doing these videos and sharing your grandfathers history. I am greatful for his service🤙

wonderful story and piece of history re: your Grampa! Very nice car, also.

Cool Car; I Like it. I'm retired USN and saw that Gunner's Mate right away.

Well thought out build and to have Gene Winfield help with the chop, "Every day is a school day " Gene Winfield would say!

I love cars like this, you can spend HOURS finding something new to trip out on or really admire

Great Rod, rust never sleeps !

Brilliant, I'd watch it like this over TV produced anytime.

Thanks for sharing that wonderful story The story brings out the beauty in the car 👍🏻👍🏻😎

What a great video,my neighbor is 96 and the stories he told me when he wanted to talk about not only brought tears to my eyes but couldn't believe what he saw,

So that thing is straight piped😎👌sounds good

I saw that show it was cool seeing the old fella working sounds pretty awesome love the drop axel don’t see to many of them banjo rear ends that looks like a hot rod most cars don’t got that look to me this looks like a hot rod well done good car to honour the victims can’t imagine getting of a carrier or whatever you call them the ones they used to hit the shoes in a boat load of soldiers scared shitless thinking of storming a beach and no were to hide you either lived or died absolutely horrifying I can’t even imagine the things that they saw would be imprinted in your brain forever terrible things we will never have to see or do hats off to the men and woman who served to keep our country’s safe god bless them

A special thanks to your grandfather and your great uncle for their service to this country. They were part of the greatest generation of Americans. Two of my paternal Uncles also served in the Pacific and saw a lot of action as well as did some on my mom's side. Serving on a Destroyer was really the backbone of the Naval forces of the US during this war. Those small ships bristled with firepower and did every kind of sea action. I have a special affinity for those sailors that served on Destroyers. Can you imagine being assigned to one of the smallest ships in the Navy and doing three years of constant sea duty and not coming back to the States for years. I also spent 3 years of sea duty on a Destroyer. When you go to sea on a small ship like that you know what going to sea is all about. I was a Machinist Mate and we were tasked to operating both main engines and all auxillary equipment. Main engine control of a 35,000 hp superheated steam turbine engine, aft engine room had the same set-up. Sometimes it was so hot down there that you thought you would melt. But we survived and grew old like your grandpa.

I can't believe this doesn't have more views. Such a cool ride. The term hot rod gets thrown around a lot but this is the real deal.

Love your show and all the wicked builds you do!! You guys are so lucky in the USA to drive these cars! Australia you can't! Only mybe for shows or something, but not as a everday car!!

Badass hot rod! Your family service history is greatly appreciated 🇺🇸

this is one of my favorites with the Mercury motor thanks guys for sharing it oh Steve you nailed it buddy

We have a 39 ford coupe with original paint with a little surface rust. No rot. We kept the body w fenders intact. We installed in new comfy interior. New glass and gaskets. New door gaskets. Autometer. All new wiring. Reproduction lighting L.E.D. 2016 ford f150 v6 4valve 4cam turbo mated to a c6 gearbenders OD rear end out of a crown Vic police car. Front end out of the same police car new frame to carry all this shit. Artillery tires on steel wheels. Custom exhaust. Its a cool car. No a/c though.

As a retired Chief Gunnersmate, this a now my favorite car from welder up, and I love them all. I hope to see more of your work and take a tour of your shop next time I am in Vegas. R/ GMC Rhame, USN Ret

Why can't we talk about Hot Rods without the wailing guitar openings and the endless riffs of distorted heavy metal running in the background? There, I said it. Lol! Nice car man!

Thanks Steve such a great vid and good to know the history around the car and the build.

Thanks for the tour 👍 great story about your grandpa. We have no idea what they went through...

One of the best things about this car and other period Hot Rods is that a 9 year old boy could see it in a parking lot and figure most of it out in a few minutes of looking under and around and inside. It inspires creativity and honors naked simplicity.

Awesome coverage of your builds! I've been wrenching for over 33 yrs, since I was 14. My grandpa had a 7 bay garage when I was growing up. I've been around cars & mechanics all of my life. So seeing how much respect and heart you put into your builds is very much appreciated!! Keep up the great work and keep these extra informative videos coming!! Thanks for sharing the details with everyone!!

Much respect to ya, you can really tell your involved in your builds. And love how much you respect you show to the old school legends and the way they built stuff. Love watching the videos.

Dude, the story of the brothers waving as they pass really pulls at the hart strings. That is a great name and reason to build that car!

19:03 it’s not boring when you’re building one and don’t have anything else to go off of. So thank you!

Awesome vid! Don’t worry about getting crazy with’em details! I wouldn’t mind sitting here for hours! That really is a dream car right there!

We have a lot in common my grandfather was in World War II Navy get started on your videos I'll be on them for days man nothing but big love brother thanks so much for all the knowledge you drop👍👍👊👊

Awesome story Steve!!! And great build!

I love all of the cars and the old trucks so I love ur work

Man, love this, and the story about your grandfather. Awesome

Thank you for sharing the build, and the story Steve. And thank you for your service to your dad and uncle. Growing up USMC, in the 80s, I remember several sailors and Marines talking with my father, about what they saw and did in Vietnam, and seeing some of the strongest men I ever met she'd tears over it, years later, still has an impact on me, to this day. They saw things most of us could never imagine, and relived then every night. That's why I always made it a point to never ask about the battles, but the funny and touching anecdotes instead. May they forever rest in the solace and peace, they sacrificed in life, in service to their country.

PLEASE.... Make this a regular thing! Love it!

Love the inspiration and the story behind the build. Please do more videos like this!

Great ride and I appreciate the war stories just as much as the car! Thank you

Video quality is amazing as well as the build.

My favorite build, my dream car, man I'm so glad they didn't pro tour it like alot of people do these days.

Beautiful "32" Ford!! Awesome stories of your family too. Just subbed.

You sure do create some wicked machines! I wish this one was sitting in my driveway begging to be driven. TY for all the content folks.

My favorite 32. Glad I got to see it in the shop when a visited last month. Amazing detail.

Welderup love the video Steve and I can't wait to see the new season on Dave in the UK you guys build awesome motors

Wonderful car. Beautiful homage to your gran dad. That generation rocked. My uncle went straight to India at the start and never saw home till the end. They just did it!

love seeing all the detail that went into making it

I love how you built this car! Gunner mate.

Awesome car and great story about your grandpa

That's a great tribute to your Gramps, well done.

Cool walk around the old 1932 Ford showing all the detail of the car enjoyed it and thanks.

Thanks for that video bro awesome car you got there it's part of History at the end you brought up the wars and my grandpa was in World War II and D-Day he used to tell me the hell that they went through that day and Beyond you're right war is hell thank you for the video I now subscribed

that background guitarist is kicking ass!!!

Ignore the haters Guys. I'm so pumped that you've joined the KZfaq Nation! I've been a Tuber posting videos for nearly 12 years and I've got a couple Custom tractors I've built. One in particular is Traitor. It's a mash up of 4 different year Wheel Horse Garden Tractors that is reminiscent of an old Rat Rod Gasser that I can flip the axle on and slam the front end on the ground with 10" Spoke wheels or flip it and throw on 6" aluminum skinny tires. Thanks for all the years on Discovery and Now On KZfaq!! Cheers! Zip~

Love what you do and love story people don't have clue what them men went throw in war.

Rude and Crude Muscle Machinery. Just like my Daddy Would Build Them. I Appreciate The Nostalgia....

Very Cool ! I need to road trip one day, come for a visit / tour

Saw you driving this around last time I was in Vegas. Nice ride!

I watch your shows on tv here in Australia, & as you said we don’t get to see what actually goes on because of the timeframe you are working with. It’s cool all the same. I really enjoyed this because we get into it a lot more. Cheers

I have a 39 Ford Standard Coupe!!! All steel!!! Lucky it survived the war steel drive's!!! I feel lucky to have it!!!

they put truck beds on cars so they could get more gas coupons cause trucks were considered productive

Thanks for the cool video from Sarnia Ontario Canada.

And as we know in 1917 Chevy made the first V8 with overhead valves not a flathead. that frontend is basically the same as the Ford 2N 8N and 9N tractors.
