Duesenbergs are very freaking rare, guys who wrench on their own Duesenbergs at home are even more so. Luckily, BangShifter “Hemi” Joel Nystrom is one of those dudes and he has the video proof to show it. Joel’s exploits have been documented on these electronic pages before from his building a Hemi-powered GTX to race in F.A.S.T competition, to the resurrection of a kick ass Olds convertible. His Deusey is a real gem and these videos show a view of this amazing cars, few get. In them Joel first checks the valve lash in the engine and then next repairs a sticky throttle pedal. 

Other than museums and a couple of select shows, we have never seen a Duesenberg in any sort of detail. These videos, showing the intimate guts of the car are greatness, especially the repair of the throttle because it shows how they were built and how very much ahead of their time they were.
