You two are great to listen to and watch. When I am Watching this channel I feel like there are still corners of the world that are wholesome and beautiful along with interesting. I have enjoyed your channel as much as I have my 1929 Coupe.
That is such a sweet comment, thank you so much 😁💗
In fact watching you and Model T have greatly enhanced my enjoyment of my model A
That makes us so happy, thank you!
Such a nice couple, those old fords are really cool. Nice video.
Once again, tons of info from the experts. Thank you.
Thank you so much 💕
GOOD Information! Glad you are both feeling better!
Thank you so much 💕
The Shin Shop sign is great.
Thank you, we love it!
Narfed!
That shirt worthy, Right there. 😂
😂 ya!!
"that's why the song jump didn't get any air play in Mexico" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 your killing me......I laughed so hard ...thanks!
I never know what’s going to come out of Paul’s mouth lol
Have an awesome week!
Aloha Tina,
Looks like your knee is healing good 🙏🏼🙏🏼💕💕
Thank you so much! My brain is always full after these, they are so greatly appreciated. I had to laugh at Mr. Shinn’s comment about clubs. I agree with Groucho Marx - I would never belong to a club that would have someone like me as a member (Model A clubs excepted). Take care, have a great week, God bless. ~ Chuck
That’s great, thank you so much 💗 Have a blessed weekend!
I love these Q & A sessions; I learn so much. It’s also a blast to see you guys together. I am glad Model T’s knee is getting better!
Thank you so much!! You wouldn’t believe how much I have to delete as I edit because we are laughing and being too silly…maybe bloopers some time 😁
Love you guys.
Thank you so much 💕 Have a beautiful weekend 💗
Paul and Bob in last Q&A talked about things that one needs to do after getting an "A" for improvements.
I hear people tell others that after they buy an "A" they should get Les A's books, Ford Service Bulletin book.
But before they do that they should watch all of the "Paul Shin Model A Guy" videos and Tina's "Model T" videos to see what needs to be done.
I get bore with manuals and would rather see things get done.
I don't even have an "A" right now and I look at the same videos every week including new vids. I have started to watch the Q & A sessions too.
Keep up the great content and thank you all!
Wow, thank you so much! You’re awesome! 💕
good info. Thanks for sharing. 🤠
Thank you 💕
Great Shoe Model T and Paull
Thanks! Have an awesome weekend 💗
Got a message from Paul a short time ago,I personally want to thank Tina,Paul, and Bob for doing what you all do. I appreciate the comments you both made the other day. Be safe enjoy!
Hi Dean!!! Thank you for being such an awesome friend 💗
Hey Model T and Paul! Some great questions and answers here. The instruction Paul was giving about the water pump replacement and nerfing the radiator hit home with me. I recently did that to my 1963 Massey Ferguson 65 tractor. I wasn't changing the water pump, I was attempting to clean rust from some screws that the oil bath breather had in it. I had a hand held wire brush with a scraper on it and wouldn't you know, I punctured the vein between the fins. Boy was that embarrassing and frustrating too. Nice video, enjoyed watching, I hope you and Paul have a great evening and good night too.
Thank you so much! Such an awesome share, thanks! Have a great weekend! 💕
Hi Guys. Thanks for another great Q and A. Tina....glad your knee is getting better. Stay well my friends.
Thanks so much Carmen 💗💕
Good to see you up and around again, Tina. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much 💗 lots of icing, Advil and antibiotic spray did the trick nice and fast!
Great video. Tina’s audio was pretty low in some spots. Very glad Tina is on the mend. She adds a lot to these videos.
Thank you so much Bill 💗 I’m not sure why it was lower at times, maybe too low on my shirt? I’ll put the mic higher next time and see if that helps !
I’m happy that you’re doing better Tina. I really want to get a Model A thanks to both Paul and yourself. I live in the South Florida area and there’s a lot of congestion with traffic. Can a Model A stay cool in a hot Florida summer sitting in traffic? I’m the kind of guy that likes to drive his antique cars and the both the traffic and summer heat are brutal here. Thank you so much for everything you do.
If you have a 4-core radiator with 8 or 9 fins per inch, a Model A won't overheat in the Saharan desert!
Glad you’re doing better
Thank you 💕
Parabéns do Brasil.
Heyyyyy. Tina..!!! Sorrrry. Been a bit quiet lately. Bussssy busy here in. Pennsylvania. Summertime and bodywork and paint is in demand now. Lol. “Where were you all winter” 🤔 anyway. Yeahhh. I wish there was a way to send you or Paul a pic. But. Terribly Unfortunately my model a blew up a cpl months ago. 😔😔😢😢 and of course just when the weather here starts getting nice. I’m Very Very handy and have been and built cars My whole life. However I’ve never changed the motor in a model a…. I have another to put in. I’m certainly thinking of changing the clutch while there. I’m sure it’s never been done. It’s 100% stock drivetrain wise. Anything I should do,look for,or tricks of any kind to help this adventure go a bit easier..?! Thank you soooooo much the both of you..! You’ve always been nothin but helpful and all around great..!
Oh wow, you have had a lot going on!!! I’m so sorry to hear your motor blew, ouch!! Well, welcome back and I hope putting the new motor ends up being easier than you thought and that you have a helpful club to help you 🙏♥️
Heyyy Tina..! Uugghhhhhh yeah very mush so to say the least. Yaaay. 🙄 lol. Me toooo it really really sucks. And of course right when you’ve waited allll winter to do so. And. Actually there aren’t many if any clubs remotely close to me and I’m not a member of any. Soooo I’m basically on my own with it all. 😏
@@bradyoung7115 darn…you need some mechanically inclined friends. Best of luck with getting you A back to running, I’ll keep you in my prayers!
@@Modeltshinn lol. Yeahhhh. I hear that Tina…. And I do for sure. But. Guess it’s also the old saying if you want something done right…. Lol. Soooo. That I shall. Hahaha. Thanks a ton. Tina. I truly Hope you and Paul are doing Well….! You guys have been great and a great ppl in many ways. I have no doubt I’ll tty very soon…. And Hopefully For The Best. Lol. 👍❤️
Love your videos and Q&A sessions. I have a question for Paul if I may. I read in the Red Book that when reinstalling springs to glue webbing to the upper spring. Other forums say do not do this. What is your opinion?
Again thanks for all you guys do for this hobby. ❤
Regarding the fellow who wrote in about his engine stamped F24589, that might not be an F. It might be the Cyrillic Г, our letter G. This stands for GAZ-A, the USSR copy of the Model A. Only 42,000 were made, so that would put his serial number in the middle of the run. Almost all GAZ-A bodies were phaetons.
That’s interesting, I didn’t know that…it looked like an F, but maybe you’re one to something?!
The Ditzler book you are looking at is notorious for being incorrect on many colors. I have seen many cars painted in Copra & Chickle from that Ditzler book and they come out wrong. But people have seen those incorrect colors on cars for many decades and think they are correct. The MAFCA book was sourced from original Ford factory paint chips and color matched. They are correct.
Interesting…well, our 1929 Fordor is factory paint and matches the Ditzler book perfectly, yet doesn’t come close to the MAFCA book.
We will continue to research this, thanks. Have a great weekend 💗
I always trust the color behind the firewall tag for a good match. Fortunately there are lots of Model A's still around that can be used for that purpose. The paint is extremely thin and can be rewetted with acetone, a good clue its orig. Also I frequently talk to people at meets that have a car with a good looking color on it like the right color and ask them about it. Once I did that on a Blue deluxe Roadster and the owner said he had it painted 55 years ago with Ditzler Lacquer factory package and he still had some at home in the orig can. Bingo, I now have a source for Washington Blue. It.s just a matter of a little detective work. Colors vary somewhat on any factory color, but blue rock green on 30-31 commercial vehicles acording to the MAFCA chip, sorry folks, not like the orig color behind the tag. Some of the others same problem. I also found a 19 inch wheel with what appears to have Hessian blue on it. I can't swear to it though but I'd lay odds on it being orig. It looks very convincing to be a wheel and stripe color too unlike the chip.
@@madman-pv9qd thanks for adding to good conversation!
How cool that is
Thank you 💕
@@Modeltshinn you're very welcome
Hi model t
This is Tony out of Kentucky a replace one of brake Chambers on the right side cuz it was messed up but looking at the other brakes they're not the same type The new break is fiber pad and the other three breaks are pads My question is would you replace all of them or it would the fiber work well with the pads they have quite a bit of meat on them.
Thank you Tony
I heard somewhere that an F serial number was British. Maybe could ask where the car came from? On the leaky carburetor is it possible that the 10% ethanol gas in use today can cause seeping just as it does lawnmowers and tractors?
Thanks for sharing 💕
Aloha Paul and Tina,
Wats next for “Stella”? 😊
The wheels should be finished this coming week. If so, the new tires and tubes get mounted and she's roadworthy! Probably drive it around a bit and see if everything is solid or needs work.
Hi Paul and Tina. YOM plates, I bought a set of 1926 commercial plates for my truck some years back for next to nothing they do show a bit of time on them with minor rust but are in good shape does DMV require like new plates and if they don’t clear are they returned?
Depends very strongly on what state you live in. Different states have widely different policies.
In California, they will accept plates with some minor patina. You don't send them in, you walk in with them.
When did you first get into model a's
Our Model A always shited gears fine. The last time I drove it was fine. Now it grinds between 1st to 2and and 2and to 3ard. I changed Trans fluid, thinking that would fix it and it didn't. Any idea what happened to cause this?
Is the clutch adjusted properly?
You didn't mention the LED lights to be seen, and see!
We were supposed to mention LED lights? Did I miss something?
How about the extra ground?
Hi! Not sure what you mean by your question? Have a nice day!
@@Modeltshinn sorry, I watched a Q&A with Paul and his dad and he was talking about putting an extra ground wire on his cars to make them more reliable.
@@douglaslambert579 oh got ya!
@@douglaslambert579 If you have the stock engine pans, you don't need it
Unfortunately, Lee Chatterton has retired.
Oh bummer! Thank you
Model T, Please speak up on all your videos. I can't hear you at all.
Hi Martin, I’ve noticed that you put this comment on quite a few videos that I’ve done and I can agree with you on maybe one in the past, however I’ve listened to this video again on my iPhone and on the television and I’m just about as loud as Paul. I don’t know if you wear hearing aids or are in need of hearing aids? I have the closed captioning on so people can read when needed. A elderly man once told me that when a person’s hearing starts to go it’s usually the high end of pitch, I do have a higher end voice, this could be the problem for you? I’m happy you’re here and I will do what I can to sound louder on my end. Take care 💕
