Another great project! For 93 years old, that car is in great condition! "We also found a few other interesting artifacts on this car, but that'll all have to wait for next video!" Stop teasing us!😡
My guess is that the nail in the exhaust pipe hanger is to keep it from rattling. Believe me, that is a frequent spot for rattles. I am very interested in this one. Mostly because I did much the same to my 29 Tudor 4 years ago. The difference is that it took me 2+ years to finish. Mine had very wallowed out rear body to frame holes, but not completely gone like yours. I put a smaller plate than the one you found. I am eager to see how you patch and reinforce rose rear mount holes.
Yes, that nail would be a shim to keep the exhaust pipe from rattling around. I finally wired mine to the clamp, as I recall. But if you don't shim it somehow, the next thing you know, the exhaust manifold to exhaust pipe clamp nuts will loosen up and she'll start backfiring going down hills. Very interesting that this car had white pinstriping on a black body. I wonder which assembly plant it came from.
As a kid I was fortunate to have a dad who was a motorhead. His friend was a car dealer and had 2 model A’s. Used to have a blast riding in those cars. Now retired I thinking of getting one myself. I had my first muscle car just before my 16th birthday. Auto auctions with my dad’s friend was the highlight of my Wednesday nights. At 17, I had 4 cars but dad was not happy when I came home with that 4th car.😂
Thank you for a great video. I am looking forward to watching the progress. Good analysis of the existing condition. Also, the nail in the exhaust clamp was an attempt to stop an annoying rattle. I had a similar problem with an ill fitting clamp.
Frame numbers weren't always put on right, depending on which location assembled the car. Some had no number at all, som at a different spot or different orientation. So even with this shoddy job, it could still be the original chassis frame.
@@martyscncgarage5275 I don't know how registration numbers work in the US the only other registration number on the car is the engine number. So if it was registered with that engine number as title, yes (the number put on the chassis is the engine number when the car got assembles) But he said it got a rebuilt engine, so maybe things are different now?
Here in the UK it’s extremely unlikely to find a vehicle of that age in such good condition 🙄 to damp!……. I look forward to see your progress on this project…… doesn’t seem to be many difficult challenges unlike your other A’s you’ve done……. A breeze as we say 😎
Really enjoy watching your videos. Studying up on Model A cars in hopes of buying one in the near future. your videos are really informative and really enjoy your delivery. No hype and your not full of yourself like some. Watching every video you put out there. Thanks !!
love that video.Your work is fantastic.At least for now my 28 Tudor will have to wait before I can do anything like that.Maybe some day.Keep us informed on the progress .We're always learning.Thanks Dean J.
hello, love the channel! I have a late 31 Tudor sedan. Both of my doors on the hinge gaps, they are very tight on top and wide on the bottoms. The doors belt lines are 1/8" low. They do latch, but I can see through the latch sides on top. Any ideas to remedy this? thx. Joe
I called the Ford factory, They are going to find out who on the assembly line missed that body bolt and HR going to make him take 15 hours of recurrent and job attitude training along with on-line test that he has to pass before he can go back to work.
I'm not sure about the history of this car, I'm guessing the engine was already replaced before the current owner bought it. I expect they would've saved it if they had it.
I noticed there seems to be mounting holes in both the left and right side chassis rails for the Steering Box to mount on. My 1930 RHD one here in Australia doesn't have holes for LHD steering. Could this be a thing they did for replacement chassis, so they could be used in either market? Nice car BTW. Not many are that well preserved. Looking forward to the future videos.
Interesting. I have been wanting to see how these go together and how the body panels are put together. Looks like panels are mostly riveted, and no brazing.
Just came across this video. We ended up with a 1929 Model A when we bought a house as-is including all contents, which included a car in the garage under all the garbage. I'm looking forward to the rest of the videos on the restoration!!
I must say I was hoping that at least one of the blemishes in the paint was bullet hole, however, I can't wait for this second owner '29 project to unfold. .
My Dad was a Model A fan for sure. He had two kinds of tool for his Cars... One set for taking it apart, and one set to put it back together. Great Video... "one"...
Hello, excellent video. I have a question for someone that can help me to understand what is the "box" seen in the transmission tube to the differential. It can be seen clearly at time 11:11. What is the purpose of that? Thanks!!!!
I would highly recommend you invest in a good pair of safety shoes. Otherwise, this is an excellent series you've started and I'll be watching for future videos.
You're like Sherlock Holmes when you examine "Your Subject". Great technique for sure. My Brother has a 29 Phaeton. Original car with one repaint about 50 years ago.
Very timely! I am going to do something similar to my 1930 Tudor. I hope you spend some time on the top install, inspecting and replacing wood, and the interior, making new panels (cardboard? Thin plywood? Masonite?) etc. Also inspecting the door regulators, window channels and repairing if needed. My driver's window simply falls and all my channels need replacing. Will be nice to know what I'm in for. Thank you for documenting the process for the rest of us. I DO know how much time it adds to the project!

I'm sure when that nail was put there, UA-cam would've only been something from a SciFi movie.

The point of the nail is aimed at the rear of the car so you will know where it is. Otherwise confusion might rear its fearsome head.

Thanks for posting...... looking forward to seeing the restoration.

Solid survivor car. Rare to have only 2 owners in 93 years. Looking forward to your progress.

I'm curious to know if the numbers match the title/registration!

That's one pretty 29. Just like mine :)
Currently doing new interior, to my own style, pretty fun.

Thank you very much. I try.
Live your videos, can't wait for the roof replacement since I need to do that soon.
love that video.Your work is fantastic.At least for now my 28 Tudor will have to wait before I can do anything like that.Maybe some day.Keep us informed on the progress .We're always learning.Thanks Dean J.
Those are OSHA approved California steel toe flip flops. Not to worry…!
I was wondering if you plan to sand or soda blast the hard to clean areas? Looks like a great core so far.
We're not sure at this point. but since there's no deep rust, we're probably going to clean it with hand tools as much as possible.
How are you stripping the paint off?
Very excited for this series! Excellent motivation to tackle my ‘30 Tudor.
Great project! I will watch to the end! If UA-cam will not be blocked in Russia)))

I think your serial number is correct off the line. My 29 coupe is stamped the exact same way.
I called the Ford factory, They are going to find out who on the assembly line missed that body bolt and HR going to make him take 15 hours of recurrent and job attitude training along with on-line test that he has to pass before he can go back to work.
It's fascinating to see what someone did on an assembly line so long ago.
4:40 that modification was probably done before the internet even existed xD
4:40 the pipe was rattling, so what do we have laying around to wedge in there? Oh look, here's a nail!
Really looking forward to updates on this car 👍 love your channel!
so far, so good! keep it up :)
How are you sanding down the metal?
A restoration versus a rustoration. How about That!
Why wouldn't they keep the matching number drive train?

I'll be following along. I never worry about someone exposing my shoddy workmanship, my whole channel is based on it. :D
Class: Sedan
Orgin: USA

On these bodies, most of everything is riveted or bolted together.
It's only original once

Love your videos . I am interested in buying that overdrive unit in this car. You said they puting new ??
actually, that is the new overdrive in it. I don't know what it had before if anything.
This is cool thanks for posting this video I love model T.s and A.s I just found this video just subscribed thumbs up my friend
I must say I was hoping that at least one of the blemishes in the paint was bullet hole, however, I can't wait for this second owner '29 project to unfold.
.
Very informative, useful information even if your not restoring one. I understand my A better, Thanks
Very informative video. Learned a lot by demonstration. Thanks
My Dad was a Model A fan for sure. He had two kinds of tool for his Cars... One set for taking it apart, and one set to put it back together. Great Video... "one"...
Hello, excellent video. I have a question for someone that can help me to understand what is the "box" seen in the transmission tube to the differential. It can be seen clearly at time 11:11. What is the purpose of that? Thanks!!!!
That is a Mitchell overdrive.
Thanls!!
The nail was to settle a rattle issue. Since the muffler clamp was installed wrong. Kind of shade tree!
Great job showing closeups of elements of a mostly unmolested car
Does the engine match that # ??? Neet video
The engine that's in it now doesn't. I'm not sure what happened to the original.
Im sure the ford dealers still have new parts for this lol
I would highly recommend you invest in a good pair of safety shoes. Otherwise, this is an excellent series you've started and I'll be watching for future videos.
Yeah, I was wondering, work gloves and flip flops. I thought it was just me!
Looking forward to future videos
That beauty is like a time capsule.
Looks like fun
Would a Chassis change explain the broken body mounting plates?
Possibly. I wondered that myself.
You're like Sherlock Holmes when you examine "Your Subject". Great technique for sure. My Brother has a 29 Phaeton. Original car with one repaint about 50 years ago.
