    Wow what a year you and Tina have had in 2023. I am looking forward to following you guys in 2024. Your gas cap tip in a winner. I started doing the pocket thing a few years ago after losing way tooooo (won't say) many. I think the last one was when we were going to Nashville in 2022. I started to think my car was leaving its mark with gas caps as we traveled this beautiful country God has given us to enjoy in our Model A.
    God bless you and Tina

    Wow. That is the quietest A I've heard. It's like you have start stop like in modern cars when stopped. You've got 1 golden gem. Happy new year paul and tina. I've been seeing A phaetons body come up for sale by me. Wonder if those are loud and limiting. Meaning can't drive them in rain or if cold cause even if there's a model a heater it wouldn't do beans. For some reason I'm debating on a tudor and fordor but heard talking to a bunch of people thr fordor has a lot more wood. But I love old cars with suicide doors.

    • @ModelA
      @ModelA  10 місяців тому

      The fordors (except the 31 slant window) are made of wood. If you find one with good wood in it, then don't sweat it. But if there is any soft wood in it, and you aren't prepared to replace, then pass on it. Open cars are FUN!! But not in the winter. Tina's roadster ain't going anywhere until it's warm again.

Just a little bit on you index finger and little swipe on each face of the cam. I still have a tube of it in my tool box. haha

    I add Lucas oil stabilizer to anything that sits for a long time, like my 31. Not because it raises viscosity, but because it sticks to everything really well and helps to protect parts after a long time sitting. That stuff is both super sticky and slippery at the same. Makes a great assembly oil when putting together engines and other parts. Far superior to assembly grease.
    Might be something to look into, nothing more than 10%.

    I thoroughly enjoy your channel. You provide so much information on Model A's and have helped me quite a bit. I have 2 of them. A '30 coup that doesn't run and a '30 Tudor that I bought 6 years ago, that does run and drive. There is one problem that both have and that I have a question about.
    The doors on both sag on the aft part of the doors so that they don't line up with the body line and prevent them from closing tightly. What do you have to do to get the doors aligned up with the body. I thought that I had read somewhere that it has something with raising or lowering the cowl and/or the body. I don't know if that's true. Can you give an explanation (or maybe a vidy 😀) on how to fix this condition. I love them both but the door thing aggravates me. Any help would be awesome. Thank you and thank you for all you and your wife do!

    • @ModelA
      @ModelA  10 місяців тому +1

      On a tudor (metal body), that means you may need to shim the body and/or cowl sections to get everything to line up. I sorta touched on that a while back as part of a longer video. I will give some more info on that as I build the truck.

      I'm not sure. It's an old one from an outfit that is no longer in business (got bought out). I'm the 3rd of 4th owner in my neighborhood. It keeps getting shuffled around my neighborhood.

    Hi Paul, just watched your 1929 Fordor out for its annual New Year drive. I have a similar car, but Canadian born, as all our original Model A's are in New Zealand. I must say however, that I cannot agree with your "making Model A's cool again". Have they ever been uncool???😄

      The quietness is not isolated to the engine itself. It's a combination of lots of things. Once in a while you come across a restored car that is super quiet, but it is pretty rare.
