I'm a vintage car admirer and love how this maintained that original/vintage look with the body and seats. My brother just bought a 1930 Model A (all original even the 6 volt positive ground generator) so I've gotten a good idea of what stock was on these. The (original) 3 speed non-synchromesh transmission is a bit tricky to drive having to double clutch but it's a solid trany. What speed/transmission is in this car?
great build !! looks real nice. i think finding a 1930's postal truck or farm (bigger than the model T & A) would be a cool build .those trucks are heavy duty and could accomodate the 289,302 or even a 351. set it up for an atv with 4x4 . with military type tires and rims.
You didn't mention that they dropped it a couple of inches. It looks a bit modern that close to the ground. I love that the body's kept original and that the paint is period.
Oh, come on.....it putters slowly into the video like a stock Model A. After all those modifications its a shame to not see a little action! Great car though
Had a buddy in Socal in the '70's running a 427 medium rise in a Model A to match his 32 Deuce coupe with the same drivetrain. Just an immaculate ride!
I am building a model A sedan with a 302 but am stuck on where to put the battery not much room. Nice job on like the model A like the way you did the fire wall.
AWESOME! I love it. That's the way I'd have a sleeper. A powerful comfortable safe cruiser, yet hardly modifying any of the cosmetics. I actually would've went one step further with keeping the original dash cluster and have a flip down modern gauge cluster.
That's exactly what I want .... this is the way I'd want mine done someday ultimate sleeper dependable a.c. old school look.... a wolf in sheeps clothing....awesome job....
In 1976, I put a 289 Ford in a '30 Ford coupe and drove it to the Street Rod Nationals. I was 19 years old. The small block Fords are narrow but long, not "huge" as described in the video. They easily fit between the rails of a Model A but need firewall clearance as shown in the featured car. The Model A Fords were rated at 40 horsepower.
I just acquired a 32 Ford Model A Monterey 4 for in amazing shape. Any suggestions on a great motor and trans replacement for under 10k? Doesn't have to have massive hp, but I'd like to drive it on the highway.
My only sleeper build was a '79 Volvo 262 Bertone' Coupe. It had a Chevy 350 with TBI, A REAL PAIN. Behind that was a turbo 350C( full lock up T 350). The car weighed around 2900lb. A company called JTR(JAGS THAT) .
thanks Scottie, nice video. im the same, ford in a ford, but i appreciate all cars though, staying true to a brand to me say a little effort went in. hope you have been well
Your welcome Brother....like I tell the builder I talk to...You can't tell Me you built a awesome car...and couldn't make the motor match.....Not in today's market.....I have been great!..Thanks for asking...ready for outdoor show season to get really going!
@@ScottieDTV I thought the owner wanted it to be able to drive any time any where , wouldn't that include all weather conditions ? Yes I understand fair weather use only . Its a very nice restomod , very nice so much was left stock or stock looking by hiding things on the dash over hang .
That’s exactly what I’ve always wanted to do!! A Model A stock appearing sedan...not slammed or chopped. All original looks with a V8 hidden under the hood. I’d even like to get a 5 speed manual in it for drivability. BTW all Model A Fords had a 4 cylinder with a whopping 40 horsepower. They didn’t even have a oil filter on them and recommended oil changes are 500 miles.
Wow, that's amazing, the classic look with a powerful, modern engine. Did they upgrade the brakes also? I would think the car needs a lot more stopping power than the original mechanical brakes would provide.
Scotty you never seem to amaze me with the cars you track down this is def in my top ten of cars that u have done a show on keep them coming love the cars and love what you do P.S you need to do a meet and greet and rod run have always wanted to meet you and never got the chance to god bless man
Glad your enjoying the videos Brother....Check out www.ScottieDTV.com when you have time.....I have done meet and greets at the Pigeon Forge Rod Run....I'm easy to meet ....you see me you can meet me..lol....Looking forward to it one day Brother....thanks so much for the support!!
Keep doin what you're doing. It's really appreciated by the car guys. You can say it's Our Drug of choice. Shout ot to the Big Oak Boys and keeping it Real. Outstanding.
@@ScottieDTV i hear them folks at Miller have a kit that can get them old 4 bangers to ~110 horses! Not much compared to your friend's 302 but when you consider she only came with 40 horses; ya gotta marvel in respect at the hard back breakin American work them old hot rodders put into makin that possible!
Always wanted a model A slickest on ive seen around in awhile like hows it's a model a with the option of 302 and not a ford with a chevrolet motor great job 👍this one would be in my in option for me 2 purchase if i could afford it
I wonder if it'd be possible to do this to a model T? It'd been my dream to own a model T in a pre ww1 configuration but having an actual original would be terrible. Much better to take a later T from the mid 20's when they had sedans then put on the super pretty shiny brasswork. I'm wondering if you could do anything with that teeny tiny engine space though
Would modernizing the suspension change the look of the vehicle drastically though? Part of my plan is to modify it enough that it can be a "daily driver" After all, I live a victorian-y lifestyle in my day to day life so I need a car to match!
Heartgear One of done properly you wouldn't change the appearance but u might loose a bit of its offroading capability, which what model T is born for.
I can see you know little about model A‘s. They came with a 200ci flat 4 engine that idles at 350rpm and “redlines“ at 2200rpm and it made 40 horsepower. It was mated to a 3 speed unsynchronized transmission. It also has mechanical brakes. The engine is so simple, it doesn’t even have a timing chain of belt. The crank and cam are both in the oil pan and are joined together by 2 helical gears. Extremely simple Tanks those old cars were. Sometimes they still run after sitting for a really long time.
Man really nice car! Bet it surprises a few people, haha lol. The stock mechanical brakes would gone! Even with standard engine they were not great brakes. Love the stock standard look, NOTHING to give away what is under the bonnet!
Keep the original engine gearbox etc, because it was to be sold then you give the option of putting it back the way it was. I am certain their value can only go up!
should have slappen in some better seats, seat belts possibly and a nice steering wheel on top of that.. also lower the roof (top chop) a little bit.. however that is my personal preference, really nice car would love to drive one
I wonder how much torque those wire wheels can handle?
"You got to put a Ford in a Ford" Amen Brother!!
For sure!!

Your welcome...Glad You enjoyed it...I just shot the video....
Man , I want that car ! A real beauty for sure .
The first time he pops the clutch, those wire wheels will turn into modern art.
Maybe.....But that would still be cool...
I don’t think so. Those are definitely NOT stock Model A wheels…twice or three times the number of spokes…..
I love the hotrods that don't slide to far away from looking original I love it
Cool!
Another one I could see my self in for sure. That guy and I are on the same wave length.

It drives into the video?
Oh, come on.....it putters slowly into the video like a stock Model A. After all those modifications its a shame to not see a little action! Great car though
me too what a snoozer
Thank you Moses! Not all capes need to be used by heroes!
not with factory spoke wheels

Anything is possible...
Such a wonderful car! Henry was a really Great man!
Thanks for checking it out!
Not a big fan of hot rods but I like this one.
Cool!
Will, you didn't show or talk about the frame, front end or rear end, brakes etc. Was any of this changed or modified?
All I know is in the video...Sorry
Hi, how much would something like this cost roughly to have done?, I would love to convert my 1931 Buick to a modern engine with automatic trans,
I just shoot the videos and never ask cost....Big Oak Garage did this one
Another impressive project thanks again Scottie
Your welcome...Glad you liked it!
Can the wire wheels handle the torque of that V8? Seems like they would be the weakest link.
I like it! I don't want any one know what they are looking at or up against, until I tell or pass them.
lol...Right on!!
Fantastic!!! Beautifully done!

Very nice toy. And updated for todays use great!

I like this car its very nice.
Cool!
Do the tires handle tha huge increase in horsepower? Pretty skinny.
Says it runs good till about 60....Then gets hairy...It's a work in progress..I would think they will make a change there...
That is My way to hotrod a model A. I just hate when people chop the top, I'm wondering if you have upgraded the brakes to disk?
It's not mine...I just shoot the videos...
At 0:38 you can see the front disk brakes.
Cool it can stop! Gotta be fun blowing people's doors off.
I remember a test with this. so where is that video?
No idea...This is the video I made ...
WOW! just WOW! An absolute beauty! I'd drive this car every day. I love it! 👍🏻👍🏻👏👏👏👏👏👏

ScottieDTV an absolute DREAM!

A REAL PAIN. Behind that was a turbo 350C( full lock up T 350).
The car weighed around 2900lb.
A company called JTR(JAGS THAT) .
Sounds cool!!
How much is it? I live in idaho, would you see that it is tied down good.
lol....I just shoot the videos...

Bet it can spin those skinny tires at any time , could be interesting drive on wet or snowy roads.
Snowy!?!?..Why would you drive it n the snow....Thanks for checking it out...It is a fair weather hot rod for sure!
@@ScottieDTV I thought the owner wanted it to be able to drive any time any where , wouldn't that include all weather conditions ? Yes I understand fair weather use only . Its a very nice restomod , very nice so much was left stock or stock looking by hiding things on the dash over hang .
Now that's a sweet ride! Where can I get one!? 😅
facebook.com/BigOakGarage/ Glad you enjoyed it!!
Need to take that to the strip and do another vid!
I’m curious about the suspension, is it stock did he keep the rear banjo
All I know is in the video....
This wheels are good job for this motor ?
Working fine!
Nice car, i like how how the modern features make this car driveable anywhere. I really like that power under the hood though. Clean!
Right on....Glad you liked it!!
Fuel injection?I still see carburetor and carb intake manifold
Thanks for checking it out!
That's cool Scottie,very nicely done.....:):)
I agree Brother....Glad you liked it to!!

It's a six figure car...Still interested?
Blax rVIOLENT. no thanks...
what rear end? are they coustum wheels?
All I know is in the video...sorry
hey, this is a cool car. I have a quick question. is there anyway to get 450 HP out of a modified 2.3L Ford Lima engine?
No idea...But with time and money most things can be done....
Where's Big Oak Garage located?

Right on....Glad you liked it!!
Does it have XM radio?
lol..I don't think so....
Nice video as always Scotty. Does Big Oak Garage sell T shirts love that logo of theres.
I'm working on something on ScottieDTV.com that will make several shops you see here available....Thank you...Glad you enjoyed it!
Original Model A had 40 hp. A really good one might hit 65 mph for brief moments. Apparently front turn signals were not added in the conversion.
And the question that everyone wants to know is.... What was the cost for the custom build ????
I never ask...Sorry
@@ScottieDTV Call them up !!! don't leave us hanging !!!
Wow! Such an amazing car! Not sure if I'd like to own one like this! Or all original with the 4 banger! Haha

For sure...They know cool!!
Beautiful, hats off!
Beautiful. One of the top ones you've shown.
Thank you....Glad you enjoyed it!

This was my first car! Mowed lawns for three years and paid $225 for it in 1964.
Cool...Thanks for checking this one out here!!
This is the future of car design... Not nowadays shoes wheelers
lol..I wish....
So what is the cost neighborhood for such an upgraded Model A? Don't be afraid to say it, I can take it.
60-70k
Very well done
Nice build for sure!
Is it for sale?
No idea...
THANK YOU! for keeping it all Ford!
I would not have shot it if it wasn't.......
Finally someone uses a Ford engine in a Model A !

Very nice!
For sure!!
Man - O - Man , I'll bet Clyde Barrow would have loved to get his hands on that ??

The paint is several year old.....I know a guy that can get the Tommy for you...let me know...lol
ScottieDTV lol I bet ha :D
Sweet ride.
For sure!
Quiet a departure from stock. I have seen some that not only have the original paint but also the original engine.
Cool..Thanks for checking this one out here!!

The stock mechanical brakes would gone! Even with standard engine they were not great brakes. Love the stock standard look, NOTHING to give away what is under the bonnet!

Keep the original engine gearbox etc, because it was to be sold then you give the option of putting it back the way it was. I am certain their value can only go up!
For sure!
