Saved From Yard Art, 1924 Model T
Greetings, I finally have another video up!
This is a short introduction to my latest car, a 1924 Ford model T. My grandpa bought me this car out of someone's driveway, so it almost turned into yard art. Now I will be maintaining and driving it, so it will be on the road for many more years to come. All of my previous videos on the channel have been on my 1927 pickup, I am still working on restoring it. Progress was slow while I finished college, but I am back to work on it, and will hopefully have a video out soon. I have been working on bodywork and paint, and I ended up re-doing most of it, so it has taken a lot of time. More to come...
Happy Tinkering,

The highway was the first major highway in the Pacific Northwest and it was the first de...
