Tinker with a T
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 13 พ.ค. 2020
Hello, my name is Gabe and I like to tinker. I am a college student studying Mechanical Engineering. In my free time, I am usually out in the shop working on a random idea. I have a passion for vintage machines, cars, clothing, movies, and pretty much anything that is old. For the first project on this channel, we are going to be restoring my 1927 Ford Model T. So why don't you join me, and "Tinker with a T."
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...

This is some footage I came across and thought I would share it. It is a promotional film from 1917 published by the Ford Motor Company. The film follows a journey up the Columbia river highway in Oregon which had started construction in 1913 (parts of it were still under construction when this was filmed). The highway was the first major highway in the Pacific Northwest and it was the first de...
