Envious to the ninth degree,especially the snow ,when stationed at Victorville,Ca used to take the kids to Big Bear lake on the weekends,I’m looking forward to going to East Tennessee,with our 31 Fordor this fall good Lord willing.Thanks a bunch for the reminder of being alive on Gods green earth.

Thank you so much! What beautiful scenery, and that engine just purring along. What a perfect video to watch while I have my lunch. Have a blessed week ~ Chuck
Hi Friends! THANK YOU for sharing all that spectacular scenery! And what better way to experience it than in the FABULOUS Model A Ford! Have a GREAT week!
8500 ft = 2590 m over sea level. This is a challenge for old carburetor engines.... I remember that from the time in the 1990s when I did driven arround in the Alpes and climbed passes who went above 1800m. For nowadays cars with turbocharger and their electronics it is not anymore a problem.
What a pretty drive! I'm assuming that you have insert bearings on this engine (thank goodness). It did a great job climbing that grade... Thanks much for sharing...
We will get back to it, lots being done to A’s with timelines, plus working long hours at our full time jobs…thank you and have an awesome week 💕 If we could just retire that would help greatly!
I like the music this gearbox is making! And indeed marvellous scenery. When I see you driving this "respectable old lady" like this, I think it must be possible to cross Europe with "her" without major problems. One question ... when going downhill, I suppose that you push the advance-lever "up"-full. to have a bit more "engine-braking"?
Beautiful drive with a model A. Are you using the overdrive? The climb over the mountain to my house is kinda steep too. I wonder if a model A will make it up the hill without an overdrive and if the brakes will hold coming down.
Paul was using the overdrive, but even without it it would still make it but slower…a well tuned carburetor helps a lot and if your brakes are good and adjusted properly then getting down the hill is no big deal especially if your using your engine for breaking mostly 😁💕
Seems like you shifted into 2nd gear at about the 2+ min mark. Was that bc your speed dropped and you couldn't pick it back up on the incline? (Separately, I watch these at double speed for a little extra terror. lol)
What speed were you running and did you use your overdrive much? I assume at the 9:00 mark you were in 2nd high? I only drove an over drive once, so just curious. Pretty area.
Well we started at 50-55 mph and as we climbed we got to about 45 and that’s when we were able to get in the passing lane, luckily we didn’t have any traffic behind us after that cause we got down to about 35 as we climbed closer to 8,500 ft…I think Paul said he was in 2nd and overdrive?
thanks for taking us along!
Thanks for hanging with us 💕

I was falling asleep listening to the engine 😅
Thank you for the ride
That’s awesome!
Is that the new hood? Looks beautiful.
Yep, hood with a new paint job, thank you…I still feel bad that my cat did it though
Model T cool trip !

One question ... when going downhill, I suppose that you push the advance-lever "up"-full. to have a bit more "engine-braking"?
No you don’t, the advance lever is set to engine rpm, not wether you’re going up hill or downhill. Have a great week!
Model T handles it like a champ 😇🙏
Thank you so much 💕
Thank you 💕

I take it no freewheeling on the way down, that could be very scary.
Na, too hard to get back into gear and we want to use that engines breaking help 😁💕
There is always that one guy... 1:24
Yep! Except that was a woman in her car alone with a covid mask on.
@@ModelA Ha ! I guess she is more afraid of germs than head on's. Good grief.

@@Modeltshinn Thanks for the info, I thought so but wasn't sure.
is it possible to charge a gopro 121 camera off a 6v system
We honestly don’t know, we’ve never tried changing one on 6v…we also don’t have a GoPro so that mostly why lol
did he tweak the mixture on the carburator?
No, nothing tweaked. He has it all sorted, a Mitchell overdrive.
Is it a stock 31?
No, it has an overdrive
