Digging into the 1931 Model A pickup engine. Will it run or is it a boat anchor. Flathead banger

[@gwolfe1231]

Well, I'm excited to see where this project goes! Love the old cars. Doing a trans overhaul on my '47 Ford now. Had to pull the engine pan to remove the flywheel. Usual sludge in bottom - oil pick-up screen 3/4 plugged. All fun.

[@Maine_A_S]

Good idea on pulling that pan. That old oil makes some serious sludge. What is the condition of the rest of the car?

[@glennnickerson8438]

Enjoy your new winter project--Spring will be here before you know it!😉

[@Maine_A_S]

Thanks. The sooner the better. I've already had enough of winter.

@@Maine_A_S No snow yet on the NH seacoast, which is good, if I want to work on my current project I have to do it outside! My coupe is in the garage (10x12) and I'm not putting that out in the weather.

@@glennnickerson8438 We had a little snow but it's all gone now. What is the current project?

[@glennnickerson8438]

@@Maine_A_S I have a 66 Rambler Classic sedan (making a Gasser out of it). Has a 61 Econoline straight axle under it. It was a Southern California car I paid $500.00 15 yrs ago (life really gets in the way). My driver is a 41 Willys coupe (steel car). I've owned it for 35 yrs. In between I did a 36 Ford pick up (that was a 20 yr project), but had to sell. Drove it for a couple of years. Would like to do another early Ford but everything is up there in price. Thanks for your channel! I think the 4 banger will be alright and that truck is sweet. I mix automotive paint for a living and have formulas for Model A and early v8. If you need anything let me know, we can always meet up at Epping.

@@glennnickerson8438 Thanks. Sounds like a great collection.

[@Bbbuddy]

I’ll be watching.

[@Maine_A_S]

Thanks

[@HouseofChop]

This is excellent! Recently found you on Instagram and I’m just digging into your videos now. This one is a gem. I’ve been dying to find one in this condition. What a great find. Looking forward to the next installment.

[@Maine_A_S]

Thanks

[@tomwilkinson2184]

😮nice work, no bs.good luck with your new truck, I know you will be driving the heck out of one Sweet ride.

[@Maine_A_S]

Thanks for watching.

[@ironcladranchandforge7292]

Too bad about the 2 cylinders. Hopefully it will work out. Either way, the truck is definitely worth fixing up and making it road worthy. Looking forward to the next video!!

[@Maine_A_S]

Thanks for watching. I'll get it going. One way or another.

The Junkers was the Preussian landed aristocracy, which especially after 1871, ran the Preussian state & military. The most famous Junker was Otto von Bismarck.
Very good filming from on the ground under the crankcase.. We, the Audience, got it perfectly...

[@Maine_A_S]

Interesting. Thanks

Aaaah the teardrop recess in the firewall, definitely a 31.

[@Maine_A_S]

Yessir.

[@andrewmantle7627]

Done well.

[@Maine_A_S]

Thanks

[@garycamara9955]

Wow an exhaust heater

[@Maine_A_S]

Yes. They are a pretty neat piece.

[@SilverBack.]

Are Model A's expensive to buy with work needed ??

[@Maine_A_S]

There are decent deals out there. The really rough projects that need a lot of work can be bought for $2,000-$3,000.

[@SteceGrant]

Whats up Maine?

[@Maine_A_S]

Same old. Dark and cold.

[@garyaxsom1815]

I'm new thank God your not going that route!

[@Maine_A_S]

Thanks for seeing it through. I probably scared off a lot of viewers with that opening.

[@MrJeep75]

I think she will run again

[@Maine_A_S]

We shall see.

[@Wooley689]

Okay, you got me there in the beginning, I was just fixing to quit watching. Phew, glad I didn't.

[@Maine_A_S]

Haha. Thanks for sticking with it. I'm sure I probably lost a few people with that intro.

[@randalldrake4704]

You lost st e as soon as you said LS...

[@Maine_A_S]

You should keep watching. You'll see it was a joke.
