Another great video ! Thanks for taking the time to produce and edit these videos. I'm sure it takes much more time than people think. So again a BIG thank you.
My '20 Runabout looks just about the same overall. Reupholstered just post-war, a sewn date tag on the material lists the date and shop and rather than remove the old material they just put the new right over the old, just like your seat. As far as the left side body bracket not being installed, I think they just forgot to install it. Keep up the good work, always a pleasure to watch your new videos.
Regarding the top saddle plugs, I have heard that some folks bought open cars because they were cheaper and just never lowered the top. Also, many at the time regarded closed cars as dangerous because of all the plate glass in the side and rear windows.
Upholstery is voodoo science to me, it will be interesting to see you build the seats and top, maybe I can pick up a few pointers. Thanks for taking time to video your projects!
Model Ts almost never stopped running for any catastrophic reason. With proper maintenance, they would run nearly forever, because the engine turned at a maximum of 1600 RPM, which is just only 1000 RPM faster than idle❤
I enjoyed your series on upholstery and top for a 1925 T roadster. The videos are helping me a lot. I will be making a top for my 26 roadster pickup. How many feet of top material should I order? I believe Colonial grain material comes in a 59" width. I want enough to do the top and side curtains. Thanks
Thank you. on these cars, my general rule is the length of the top and rear curtain x2. That usually leaves some extra in case I make a mistake. I'm not sure how much is needed for the side curtains.
Did you happen to make a video regarding replacement of the wood to the door? I have a '25 Model T roadster or runabout and I am wanting to know just how to remove the wood from the door skin without damaging, breaking or ruining the metal as the door frame is removed from the shell skin. I can't find anyone who has actually done this or seen any videos showing such. I loved the fact that you showed the wood framework for the backing of the seat in the car, as mine was all in pieces and made little sense to me as to how it was installed in the car. Thanks for the video.
Thank you. The only way I know of to remove the wood from the door is to pry the top and sides open slightly. Unfortunately, they weren't made to be taken apart. But if you're carful, you can pry the wood out and new wood in without doing too much damage to the door skin.
What a great original car with great patina! If the existing upholstery buttons are painted steel, save them! They are probably the original buttons. Ford did not use buttons covered with upholstery material. If you decide to install an upholstery kit, I recommend Classtique. Since you are on the west coast, Chaffin's would be a good source for any other items you might need.
Last year I acquired a 1927 model T which is topless. It will be interesting to me to watch you bring this beauty back. Just subscribed. Is that original seat material you found underneath leather?
Hello, I am working on a 1924 and I don't have good patterns of the inside corners. Do you have better pictures of what is on the outside of that C shape wood piece. Looks like a metal C shape piece just behind the gas tank. Thanks
I made patterns of the structure of this car while it was here. You can Email me at onewhocollects@gmail.com and I can send you pictures of what I have.
@@onewhocollects6781 Looking forward to more episodes of the Model A and the Model T. With two projects on the go does this mean we can expect twice as many videos? 👏

Could say a lot of stuff.....bottom line: I really enjoy your 'no B.S.' presentation and videos. Keep up the good work!
Another great video !

You're one of the Best Restoration guys on TH-cam.. I really like your back yard approach! Dont Stop!!🇺🇸🎩🇺🇸
Thanks for the great narration and technical discussion of a original vehicle. Anxious to watch the progress and your expertise materialize.
I always enjoy the T stuff. Your knowledge is appreciated.

Your videos are always encouraging and educational! Thank you for sharing with us
I can’t wait to see the finished product

I have a picture of my grandpa in one of these cars circa 1927 in Detroit .
Sure … I see this helpful video after I have done the seat and top on my 1923 runabout. 😄

thank you for share this information with us. Congratulations.
I think that’s a police bumper, because of the badge relief around those front bolts…

I wonder if someone started to reupholster the car and realised they'd left that bracket out so they saed it for next time.
Oh yeah? Just wrenching on the old weekend project are we
Very neat!
Why are those books along the back so long?
Those eyelets on the bumper are for towing your Model T behind your Winnebago! 😄
What happened to the Model A? 🤔
The coupe? It's still being prepped for the repaint.

@@robinimpey101 Maybe.
