SAVING an Abandoned Race Car - Henry J RESURRECTION Ep. 1

Описание: This 1951 Henry J gasser is an abandoned race car that has been sitting since the 1970's and I'm going to make it run and race again. This car has a lot of custom details inside and out, and it's the perfect gasser in my opinion. The car features a 1941 Willys straight axle up front, a 12-bolt rear end, and all the room in the world for any engine combination I could ever dream up. In this video, you'll see us tear the car down and begin making a parts list to get this thing back on its feet again.

Watch along as I teach my kids why this Henry J is so cool, and see what it's going to take to make it functional again. Stay tuned for more build videos, as this is a huge project that will require multiple episodes to tell the whole story with the final part being an exciting match race with ‪@Sleeperdude‬ in his Funny Fairmont. Make sure you subscribe so you never miss an episode!

If you'd like exclusive access to build updates (photos) before the new videos come out, please consider becoming a member of the Hot Rod Hoarder Youtube channel. It's a small fee and you'll get updates along the way, and get some cool icons, and the satisfaction of helping us fund this intense project.

We have some great companies involved to support the build:

SUMMIT RACING
The crew at Summit Racing understands that car guys want quick service and the best price, and that's exactly what you'll get when you shop the HUGE inventory on hand. We're glad to have Summit Racing on board for this build, because of the wide variety of parts that'll help us put this car back on the road and on the drag strip. Our Summit Racing list is LONG, but some highlights include a new torque converter, all-new cooling system, and so much more. Between the Summit-branded components and a huge selection of famous name brands, Summit Racing has you covered on any project. Shop today at https://www.summitracing.com or check them out on Youtube ‪@SummitRacing‬

HOLLEY PERFORMANCE BRANDS
For more than 100 years, Holley has been a leader in fuel systems, and now, the company includes some of the most well-known brands in the automotive aftermarket. Although a lot of Holley's contemporary marketing efforts are focused on EFI, the Bowling Green, Kentucky based company still offers a wide variety of period correct components for old school gassers and hot rods. We'll be calling upon Holley for tunnel ram, carburetors, Hooker headers and much more. You can check them out at https://www.holley.com or watch great content on Youtube ‪@HolleyPerformance‬

COMP CAMS
The undisputed leader in camshaft and valve train components, Comp Cams offers the perfect combination of parts to help our Henry J drag car come to life. Camshafts, lifters, valve springs, pushrods and more are available in Comp Cams kits and we're planning to give this big block Chevy donor engine a little more attitude with a hydraulic roller camshaft and associated valve train components. No matter what you're working on, Comp Cams has go-fast options for you. Check them out at https://www.compcams.com or watch informative content at ‪@Compcams1976‬
