- Making a "House Call" to fix a Ford Model A at the California Auto Museum in Sacramento who contacted me about their 1931 Ford Model A Roadster and a problem it was having. So. I sprang into action and aided the patient. The California Auto Museum is located at 2200 Front Street Sacramento, California 95818. California Auto Museum website: www.calautomus...

"I AM the Warranty"
#paulshinn
You just saved me a ton of cash. I was actually just getting ready to pull the trigger on one of those Stone guards. And I had no idea of the other potential damage it could cause. I think I'll leave it alone. Thanks again!
Now I'm thinking about taking mine off.
Paul, thanks for the info on the rock gaurd. I don't have one on my Town Sedan because I don't like the looks but now I have good reason to recommoend others NOT to insatall one!
Glad to help
I do like these exhibits in the museums, great looking vehicles and fun facts. Thanks for sharing, have a good weekend.
Hey, that Model A you worked on looks exactly like one I just bought a few months ago. I literally knew nothing about these cars. I was up late looking through FB marketplace and one person was selling a 31 Roadster and a 28 Roadster pick up truck. I started watching your vids before contacting the seller so I sort of had an idea of what I was looking for and at. Four days later I ended up buying both vehicles and am now sorting them out so I can hop in them and go for a ride whenever I want, because reliability and safety matter. They are really cool and relatively easy to work on. Thank you Paul, Model T and “Dad” for making all these informative vids. They’re a help to me and so many others…
That is awesome! Good work, my man!
Yet another entertaining and informative video, thanks!
Thank you for these videos Paul
I like your tool case! I have a small tool bag with basics (carb, dist, basic tools and a few parts) for drives in the AAA towing range of my house and a larger tool & parts bag for long drives.
Been to the Museum a few times, great woodwork in their bathroom! Love the accordion music that has become your theme, I'll be humming that song for a few days. Mom had one, good memories.
Thanks! I'm a huge Lawrence Welk fan.
@@ModelA "a one-a and a two-a..."
Great follow up to Model T's video. "Have tool case will travel" Paladin and Paul Shinn kinda rhyme. Are you one in the same?? 🤣😂😅
He's a much better shot
Your videos are presented very well folks. I like the music too.
Thank you very much!
Приятно видеть, как мастера уважают и приглашают в такое знаменитое место.
It's nice to see how the master is respected and invited to such a famous place.
Это очень мило с твоей стороны! Но я не мастер, я еще ученик. Эй, довольно страшно, что сейчас происходит в Украине. Надеюсь, ты не пострадал, мой друг.
@@ModelA О! Мастера видно издалека. Я не пострадал. Но страдаю душой за тех, кому там тяжело. И желаю скорейшего поражения нацистам.
Oh! The Master is visible from afar.
I wasn't hurt. But I suffer with my soul for those who are having a hard time there. And I wish the Nazis a speedy defeat.
“This car has worms” hilarious.
Thanks for taking us on this adventure, the butt dragging car / dog comparison is hilarious, I always suspected that low-riders had worms, suspicions confirmed !!!
Admit it, you got the GAV stuck to get a free visit of this cool place ;)
Thanks for sharing it with us!
We will add this to the list of places to go when you visit the US
@@ModelA Rightfully so!
Our first stop is going to be In-N-Out Burger so you can experience the absolute best American cuisine available. Despite being vegetarian (not by choice, doctor's orders), they have stuff I like also.
@@ModelA MURICAH! xD
Nice Save Paul !!
Hoovie's garage ends with him paying the Wizard. You should show your bill. Let's see, one spring, one washer, one sleeve, labor. That adds up to......
A fun one! Good job all around.
Wonderful as usual!!!
Thanks Earl
Hello Paul great video going to the car museum.. model T was great help to you .. I like to watch TH-cam together you guys make a great team .. I wanted to ask you your thoughts on the heater that is on top of the exhaust manifold … it looks like it was maybe an option later did they work very well did they not work very well how did it happen you could make a little video on there that would be great ..
The manifold heaters were an aftermarket accessory. They are still being made and sold today. They work OK. But if tou have an exhaust leak, you get CO pumped directly into the passenger compartment. I do not have them on any of my cars. Just not worth the risk.
@@ModelA Paul I could take a couple days to think about your answer… very good point about maybe getting an exhaust leak and CO coming into the car cab … also I’m surprised you did not mention the fact that it takes a big hole cut into the firewall to make it happen.. not sure I’d ever want to cut the firewall … would be a great video if you explained this in a video it may save somebody grief… let’s just keep some nice blankets in the back of the car for “Model T “ she will be fine from the cold ….
@@michaelpeterson4348 Of course! The giant hole in the firewall does not need mention. It's not something I would ever do.
Great Video
Thanks John!
I didn't see any "Spare Parts" left over...I thought there was always pieces left over that are labeled Spare Parts! 😁
Nice video.
Hmmm? Warranty work at a Museum?.. Ok.. I'll buy that.
It shows your reputation as a Model-A expert Paul when a prestige museum
brings you in for maintenance work. The museum must be a nice reference source
for you and your club members.
Ha! I'm a hack, we all know it. I'm current President of NCRG, the regional group that helps get the Model A clubs in the northern half of California and western Nevada together who funds and and organizes activities. NCRG recently joined the California Auto Museum as club. I think that is the connection.
@@ModelA Plus, who doesn't like free repairs?
@@Rob-hw5wr Rob does Paul work on Tina's car, though she so talented I would be suspect if she did her own repairs.
I'm like a kid in a candy store!
Good job Dr. Paul. Rita’s Caddy is just a pretty as she was.
Indeed!
Im very sorry to bother you, but a few videos ago you promised to make a video on how to fix slack in the steering, or how adjust it or how to reassemble it.
Well I have some more than normal play in my steering and eventhough I have the must have book, when you show it it always makes me more confident to do it. So my question is: is this video still coming and if so, when? I would like to fix it in the near future...
Best regards!
Yes! That video is still in production stage though. I was hoping for it to publish this month. Sorry, things have been hectic. Burning through some of my "in the can" videos lately to keep the weekly schedule.
Awesome
Your dad would be proud.😁
thank you
Paul, why not put a piece of door edge guard on the rock guard where it runs the radiator shell
I know it would not be original but it might prevent the shell from being messed up
Since a rock guard is not original either, no worries about originality anyway. Good idea!
Paul! Could u give us some insight on pros n cons on the borg warner vs mitchell over drive . Thanks
I have discussed that in a couple videos already. Thanks!
@@ModelA ok,..i’ll go back n look for it lol.
(06:10) Belly button ring? _You are one funny guy!_
Hi Paul any updates on the Terry Burtz block. Wondering if any deliverys were made to anyone
Two of our blocks and accessories are here!!
The local Harley shop charges me admission to the dealership. It's a 'drooling' fee for fawning at the new bikes. Hmm, is that why the auto museums don't like me? Nah, couldn't be that!
Hahaa! Been meaning to tell you... There's a picture of you in the break room at the Harley shop that says to follow you around with a rag when you come in.
Thanks, Paul! Keep up the videos, as they are entertaining as well as informative.
So many cool cars! As someone with digestive issues, I would not recommend the bouncing cars 🤣
Good ! Now I don't have to go . I've seen it .
Nope, you STILL have to go because the displays change at least monthly!
They only trust the expert! Which I think it’s fair to say you’re definitely an expert! Be careful you might start seeing your email flooded with people trying to make appointments for house calls with the expert!
They already do. Dozens of them.
Dr Paul to the rescue! Model-A-acillin 500mg three times a day.
Is it still under warranty?
The lowriders make me laugh…😂🤣
What is the fancy hood support.
Just a wire thing that the Model A parts suppliers sell.
Paul, did they check to see if you had any "parts" on your person as you left? haha Are you going to send them a bill for making a " house call"? hehe
They forgot to pat me down. Shhhh!!!
