When you called the fan a "dirty dog", it reminded me of the greatest Canadian in history, Norm Macdonald.
Part of the fun of this channel is seeing how they dealt with things back in the day and how it lets you get work done today. That hoist is amazing.
I like how that driver’s side door closes with a Lexus-like “snick”.
Grinding the valve to a screwdriver is something I would totally do 🤣
If I recall, part of the haul included another block that looked in better shape. Fellows, this is one rabbit (squirrel?) hole worth going down - to see this old gal back on the road would be a series I would follow with GUSTO! Plus, the shop name/logo done the right way would look AWESOME on this rig!!! EXCELSIOR!!!
If anybody could get it running again, its you guys!
Don.t think i've ever seen the cylinder walls actually collapse, might need to check the wrecker for a new used engine & a set of valves...route 66 special of the day....
The clean-up job you did on that old Ford made it look 50% better.
Ding ding! Yeah
Just a thought 💭
Old cars with coffee and plaid.
Up until about 1980 you could still get remanufactured short block Model A & T engines from the old old J.C. Whitney's that was on Archer Ave. in Chicago guaranteed free from cracks, welds and brazes. That was quite the place to visit when I was a kid getting parts to rebuild my '63 Galaxy XL.
That automobile is as fine as a brand new penny. thanks guys for another good one.
That monorail trackage for your hoist is amazing.
The old armstrong barn cleaner we had when I was a whippersnapper used the same type of rail. It would hold several hundred pounds of natural fertilizer.
I helped restore a WWII seacoast fortification that had a very similar setup, for hoisting and traversing huge gun shells.
Nice SHOP !!! Enjoyed watching !!!😃
Ford Motor Company when building the Model T reused the wooden packing crates as floor boards, waste not want not saves money right, therefore the end product could be cheaper, the Model T,s were build to a budget so they were affordable to everyone!!
Just carefully ( it is almost 100 years old ) disassemble repair where necessary clean up the parts and reassemble into a running driving vehicle again!! 👍👍
Hi from Kentucky! Dad was a Holley employee for many decades so my lack of knowledge is embarrassing. But I enjoy your channel and I send him your videos. ☺️
I can not believe you are into part two on this Model A and neither of you have mentioned the hundreds of bullet holes in it!!! Looks like it was driven by Bonnie and Clyde.
Audio worked the second time I watched it. Thanks for sharing this video, I really enjoyed 😉
I have no doubt it will run again! The squirrel did too --that's why he beat feet out the door to tell everyone! 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐿!!!
Great chain hoist set up. Worked in an older shop when I was young that had a very good rail set up, so nice.
Wah! RIP shop squirrel...
Ha, used cars, the good & the bad. Love the old shop & stuff, kinda reminds me of one of my early jobs on the turkey ranch. We had so many trucks on the ranch that we had our own garage for repairs, rebuilds & tire repair. Was good experience learning how to make repairs & fix tires.
From the midwest US. I sure enjoyed this video. Great job guys. Always look fwd to your next video. Thank you.
LOve this ..'Geez Louise! that doesn't want to come loose eh!"
My wife’s maiden name is Robertson and her dad was an inventor. But never a square screw.
Love the old crane/gantry I used to use an electric gantry in Bridgestone, tyres, Salisbury South, South Australia, very useful, all the best to yous and your loved ones
No LS poofery here gents. Keep up the good work.
Man that crane is a work of art!!!
You guys just keep the quality coming! I appreciate all the work that goes into the episodes! Thanks very much for including us on the fun!
Nice floor board. Scotty could have used that for the template on the one he recently cobbled.
Love the old shop and all the cool, unique tools you guys keep whipping out. That track switchable pneumatic crane is a hoot. All the best from Santa Cruz, CA (the other CA!).
Hi Fellas,
I know that this Model A motor is a boat anchor now but, if you guys are making a show to "show how it's done", why not consider demonstrating how to re sleeve a motor? As a kid I had a neighbor who owned and fully restored a 1920 Mercer Runabout. It was in as pitiful a shape as the Model A you presently have when he bought it for $25 dollars but since this car was such a rare beast he decided to restore it from the ground up. It took him 4 years to complete. He built and assembled it in his cellar, then when it was finished he hired a backhoe to scrape dirt away from the side wall of his cellar, punched a hole in the foundational cement blocks around the original exterior descending steps and winched the car out.
Your shop is very user friendly, and the roadster is cool. It's an education for me to watch you work on all the old cars, especially the A's and T's. I heard my Dad and Uncles talk about mechanical brakes but I had never worked on any. It will be nice to see how the roadster pickup comes together. I always enjoy your video's. Cheers
You guys are just doing the greatest thing with that wonderful garage. Good luck with old roadster!
A unique look at a unique auto.-Hopefully some parts will bring another to life again. I would have removed the Rad first. I would hate to be the cause of any further damage. Parts are Parts. Somebody did some real fine "re-work" years ago-and here Jim uses a Hack saw. Very cool guys! Thanks for the show. Rich
The hoist is most excellent. You don’t need no stinkin’ telehandler 😎
Love your show. As soon as I get a notification you have a new video, I grab a cup of coffee, and get ready to watch. Thank you for your humor and your project review
Your workshop is just the coolest.
That overhead crane is so cool!
In it to win it. You already have the pennants.👍🏻
Liking your trolley works great. That tool you used lifting the head is a great thing. So awesome some of the tools they came up to help doing repairs.
Enjoy you guys very much...wrenching, teaching and displaying while working. I have enough trouble with just the working part. Keep at it!!
Looks like the squirrel had some nice for roommates. Love the shop.
Yeah, the 4 banger be a bit crispy, oh yeah, a bit crispy. You guys are great.
That is a great hoist in that shop. Someone was really thinking there when they put it in. Lots of Luck to you guys.
That was fun.
All that's missing now is some ragtime music while you fast forward the action.
You guys are doing great.
Great show love your sense of humor. Did you guys ever find the squirrel?
By the way what’s the story on that sweet Olds lurking in the background. Glad the squirrel was restored to the wild.
Weld old t handle Allen wrench to a old spark plug thread.
Honestly I'm amazed at that truck. Though bad, it seems it can be salvaged. Keep chewing on it and see where it goes. Cheers from Ohio.
Well it won't run, but will it paperweight? YES!
Coolest shop I've ever seen! love your videos!
Shop Truck! Shop Truck! Haha cheers fellas....
That engine will buff out.
When you went to the time lapse while taking the body off, you should have inserted some Charley Chaplin music!
I watch all your videos just because they are fun!
That is really quite some shop... 🇬🇧👍
Cheers, guys! That trolley crane is priceless! I googled “Walden-Worchester” (pronounced “Wuster” here in Massachusetts) and found that it is considered one of, if not the, most important early automotive specialty tool manufacturers. Keep the videos coming!
I came to reply "WUH-ster", beat me to it! Lots of nice tools out of that region years ago. Cheers from New Hampshire.
Almost but not quite pronounced as "woof-ster (omit the"f") if you find it diifficult to pronounce, pity us Yanks trying to say "about" the way Canadians do!
I find “a boot” is close, but then my mom was born in Canada!
@@rickrice3221 I can't decide of it sounds more like "a boot" or "a boat" it seems to be somewhere in between, that I can't reproduce. 8-))
Here in England 'Worcester' is pronounced 'Wooster' as in 'Wagon Train'..........
Fun time in the shop!
Summer Beater challenge candidate for sure!
55 gallon vinger might help
or boat anchor ?
yard art just nedd to be there so your good
I think what you have there is a "town car" cab for a Model A pickup. You know the one where the driver is in the open. LOL
Ding!Ding! Indeed!
The tool you have is an L3 Walden-Worcester Cylinder Head Lifting Wrench: total Unobtainium. If you find one, grab it is my suggestion 😎
Thanks for more great content!
Nice dual-purpose radiator hose/fan belt wrench Jim. Have to scour the swap meets for one!
awesome historical shop
i cant believe you got the head off that easy, it took me 3 weeks to get the head off my model a it was stuck hard
You guys are awesome! So much fun to see some of the history in operation. If I ever get out of sask I would love to come and tour your place! Fun stuff!
I want to make some of those lifting tools. They look handy as heck.
I sure was pullin' for that engine to be a potential runner. Rats.
That one tool that screws into the spark plug holes. it might be hard to find another, but it looks like it would be really easy to make if you knew someone with a lathe.
Have you seen them guys in India they re manufacture every thing they would have that engine done in a day new liners and machined
It looks as though you're inching up on 10K subs. Here's a comment for your analytics.
you guys have quite a busy project on your hands that's to say the least 😉
Yikes, collapsed cylinder walls? Wow.
Awesome
Love the channel. You guys are great. Very inspiring as far as working on my on old junkers. Thanks guys

This is gonna be such a cool project!
Love the channel.
i love your show . yeah model a engine is rust so ripe it down as model for front .
Enjoyed the show!
What happened to the squirrel?
Love name of garage😊
Apropos the Robertson screw, could you folks do a short (video) about it? Us Yanks know little about them and might get Canadian manufactured goods with it. While some Canadians may have forgotten a bit of their proud heritage. 8-))
Shes gold boys😊
Too many Will it Run? videos on the TH-cam. I like a good Won’t it Run. Nice change of pace.
Scott just did a vid on his 'T' floor board fabricated replacement - what are the odds, eh? So what's the plan with the 'T' now?
The model A would be a good test mule for some rust penetrant product .
Good episode, thanks. Look forward to watching your channel grow , I was #33 Sub.
