    I love model A's not too expensive, all parts easily available (once the pandemic shortages are over) and easy to work on. I would love to see more videos.

    When I was a kid on our farm we had a model A Ford good to hear one run again . That was back in about 1956 I would have been 6 years old then.

    Steve, These are your best type of Videos! Please continue with their model A series! Removing that gas tank should be fun!

    More Model A videos please! Nice work Steve.

    "Pull the entire floor up", wow sounds like a big job......3 seconds later, job done. I love the videos with Steve messing with old cars.

    Such delightful simplicity. Everything's visible and identifiable. They've barely managed to put anything in the way of removing anything else.
    That's a handsome machine. Clean out the fuel tank and give it a wash and polishm and it's ready to roll. (Well, maybe after a look at the brakes.)

    @johnhoy6793 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    More, please. These cars are not so different from today's, just so much simpler. That simplicity is their attractiveness. Thank you for all your videos. 32

    Yes please, Steve. This was delightful and I'd love to see it trundling down the road.

    More videos please! Beautiful simplicity and solid build quality have ensured the survival of this wonderful car.

    Such a well preserved and wonderful piece of motoring history definitely deserves more attention on this channel.

    Yes, please continue with the Model A. Great automobile.

    As I'm watching your video my wife overheard from the other room she said he sounds like a teacher, like she kind of understood what you were talking about. Keep up the good work Steve I want to see more videos of the old Ford

    Thank you for sharing. I bought my 28' Model A Roadster a year ago. I'm 71 and time to start spending down. Love it !!! I feel like Jay Leno every time I drive it. Stangers always toot, wave, and give a thumbs up. Always makes me smile.

    My dad was driving a used 1928 four year old Model A just like this one when he first met my Mom. Please show more of your work on this car.

  • @lloydg4942
    @lloydg4942 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    WOW! what a nice old car! Yes please let's see more on this one

  • @rob5944
    @rob5944 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Top tip. Always use an open hand when trying to shift something difficult with a wrench. That way if it suddenly gives or slips you won't skin your knuckles. One from my old dad years ago 👍

  • @bb_37
    @bb_37 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I used to have a Model A living in my garage. It belonged to a friend and she eventually sold it. We swapped out the cast iron fuel strainer for one with a glass bowl. The cast iron one was rusted up. With the glass one, you could easily see what the fuel looked like. The bolt on the end of the carburetor that you pointed to is another strainer. You may have to clean the fuel tank. That's a big job because the tank forms the top of the cowl. As others mentioned, parts are readily available. I think NAPA still carries the spark plugs. Bratton, Snyder, and Mac are the big online parts sellers. Good luck!

  • @ianangusmann

    I was impressed how original it is. I owned Model A’s in the 60’s & 70’s. Good to see it still running.

  • @stephensim5839
    @stephensim5839 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I really like the way you work on cars, you are very clear and methodical. The model A is a cool old girl and in surprisingly good condition.

  • @anthonybrau7399

    would love more videos of this car. Amazing how simple the engine and electricals are.

  • @kevelliott
    @kevelliott ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Definitely! She sounded nice, and wanting to go!

  • @toddchambers3820
    @toddchambers3820 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Great seeing the Model A and your methodical approach to making it run. Good call not to use the gas tank for fuel. How are you going to clean out the tank? As I recall they are a real bugger to do. Paul Shinn would be a good person to contact. Yes, I do want to see more of this type of stuff. Well done so far!!!

  • @craigwiest772

    What an absolute beauty of a car. I would so love one of those - maybe even as a daily driver. We just don't get them in the UK as easily or as cheaply as the US any more.

    • @TheGramophoneGirl

    Love the simplicity, I grew up with a farmall cub, but at least that was neg ground, lol. My son has it completely torn apart, we'll have to see how it comes back together... Most certainly enjoy all your work, no matter what side of the big pond they came from. Thanx !

    Doesn’t appear to need more than a little spit and polish (besides the gas tank work) to be road and cruise-in worthy. Gotta love the simplicity.

    I think it's mildly astonishing that something so complex made nearly a century ago is still in any fit state! I'd love to know what all those weird pedals and controls do, so please do a car review once it's running and stopping again.

    The metal bulb on the firewall is not a fuel shut-off. It is a fuel strainer. The shut-off is under the dash on the inside, right under the tank.

  • @vederstein

    Model A's never had an air cleaner from the factory. It was aftermarket. Sometimes the leaking carb would cause gas to accumulate in the aftermarket filter. A backfire would then catch the car on fire.

  • @stephenricketts7764
    @stephenricketts7764 ปีที่แล้ว

    Fantastic, a little bit of a bodge here and there made it run so well done Steve . Probably a wise move not to use the tank. I have to say it did surprise me that there weren't more wires that were 'toast' but that is a bonus I think. Thanks Steve very good condition model A. It will be on the Road in no time. Don't forget your goggles I think they are mandatory 😷.👍👍

    • @ThisWeekWithCars

      The dashboard and the cowl are completely separate looms so something wrong with one does not affect the other.
