Race Car Vs. Abandoned Airstrip: Unveiling The 'midnight Special' - On The Market

This build is one of the coolest builds on YouTube. Freaking reminds me of Indian Larry's bikes.

The Smiths Shocks are English. As cast in, the makers were Frank Smith and Co of Elland, Yorkshire, England.

The new owner can be assured it's a one-off work of art with no shortcuts. Brilliant piece of engineering 👍

Hope it finds a good new owner All the best and thank you

Shaun, I've known a few fella's that are as tall as you and they all suffered with back issues. There were two guys who actually resolved the issue. The world is based on an global average height of 5'7". They both started with raising all the counters in their homes by like 4 to 6 inches. Kitchen, bathroom .The one guy worked with me at a fabrication shop. He was talking about the big reno and me and few guys said, hey lets raise your work bench too. That's exactly what we did. Long story short, a year later no more back issues. I would raise that work table in the shop! Best work table I've seen lately is a scissor lift table with hydraulics! 👍

🦘🇦🇺 Whale, Oil, Beef, Hooked !!! Josh actually did some great work. 😲 I thought he just hung around the workshop eating, shitting & getting startled. Seriously Jordan, Ben, Josh & team (....including that Canadian midget, Karl) a top effort 👏👍 on both the video & the build. The Midnight Special certainly is a special piece of automotive art. ❤️🇦🇺🇨🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Look online for “1/4” woven mesh” for something very similar to your grill. It looks almost identical to the same stuff they make Model A radiator guards out of. Gotta say what an amazing race car!!!

Accurate Screen and Grating in Fort Langley would be my first stop for lattice wire mesh although I have bought some heavy duty stainless lattice mesh from Metal Supermarket in Langley for an air compressor finger retention barrier. Continental Wire, CW Cloth has a meshing collection too mainly for aggregate sorting duties and they're a Calgary, Alberta company with a Vancouver outlet last time I checked. Edit: Phosphor bronze woven wire mesh is available with all kinds of details if you don't mind going into multiple days to order.

Another brilliant video. The Midnight Special is a total work of art. Loved the photography too. Very professional job all round.

Full custom, yet still a classic! Nice job!

Mighty fine ride. A real classic racer

An amazing work of art and craftsmanship. Finally perfected the grill and with the brass windscreen and polished louvers she is perfect. This has been one of my favorite builds to watch and I never get enough of the Midnight Special. This is one you should always be proud of.

Many years ago I had a sure-fire plan to "fix" Formula One: You could have any engine/chassis/suspension set up you wanted, as long as everyone used the same skinny tires on spoked wheels. This car just looks right.

Hello Jordan I know of a couple of brothers who had midget racers. One had a fiat twin cam engine the other bought a V860 that turned out to be a junk engine. So not to disappoint the better half, stuck a 350 in it and didn’t let on. Any way he did a three thousand mile road trip in it from south of hull all over Scotland! A brilliant pair who always had a smile and something on the go. Take care all the best. Tim.O and I’ve got a photo of my daughter scary sitting in that car.

That car is a work of art. What a beauty!!!

Simply, A thing of Beauty

I put off watching this one (hurts to think she might be leaving the stable, needed to take my time). Having watched this build from the beginning, this car has become a part of me, and my heart aches that I cannot make it my own (have the banner schematic you sent me proudly hanging in the garage!). Congrats to the soul that acquires such a treasure, and more than anything...Congrats to you, Jordan and crew! You seamlessly showed us the complex joy of blending art and engineering, form=function, and just damn fine fabrication and dreams made real, into what is and always will be ART! Fantastic video, edits, just keeps getting better! Go Bennetts Customs, and Japhands, PLEASE keep moving forward and allowing us to come along for the ride! Sorry to be so wordzie. Damnit Josh! Got me drunk again! "I could go on for hours, and probably will, but I would sooner put some joy back in this town called malice." You did just that! Hvala! This was brilliance!

@10:14 with the engine crane .. I looked back at the screen and thought it was a split-screen edit with two Jordans for a minute 🤣

I've followed this build from day one and it has been an enjoyable journey! Thanks for taking me along. The Midnight Special is a work of art!

It's BLOODY gorgeous Jordan.
