Very neat, outstanding and impressive team work, congratulations to you guys, very nice of you gentleman, most kind of you for sharing it with us, from the endless summer paradise Puerto Rico Jesus Torres.
Ah ---- It looks like a Great Bunch of guys --- with a Gal or two mixed in --- No one didn't really look any older than me ---- So ---- can you show us --- How to do this ---- with creepers and rolling on the floor for those of us that don't have Car Lifts ---- Times --- has sure changed hasn't it --- bet --- there are some of you that probably had to roll on the floor with creepers to get this job done in your earlier years ---------- Thank You for the Video ----- I'll be rolling on the floor to get mine done ---------- Rodney
Thank you for watching! The job can easily be done on the garage floor. The key is to have tall enough jack stands to support the rear end of the car high enough to clear the rear leaf spring from the bottom of the car. Then you can slide the rear end with spring still attached, back on a furniture dolly. That gives you enough space to be able to pull the transmission rearward. We have had several members do this job without the lift, so it can be done.
So….overall, what is the better technique? Pulling the engine or doing it this way? Seems like it may be a little more work pulling the engine but possibly an easier job then doing it this way.?? I ask because my clutch is due, and I have a lift as well. Again, not sure which way is better in the long run…….comments??
Thank you for watching our video! We would be happy to help you connect to a Model A club in your area. Joining a local chapter is a great way to find people that are happy to help, just like a club member here! He graciously opened up his own garage for a fellow club member to replace his clutch. You would be surprised how great the people are in local Model A clubs.
@@OVRMAFC Thanks for your well intended help. But I have plenty of experience as a member of the local Model A clubs around here. In fact, I was one of the earliest members of the Totem Model A&T Ford Club which I joined in 1964, same year as I found my Model A Coupe. But how much time do you have to read? At any rate, this club later became a generic, all makes club with the misguided idea that they could attract younger members that way. I objected and they were wrong. Now the person who first presented that idea is dead wrong and most members don't know one end of a Model A from the other. Then there's the Pacific Model A Club, a club I first tried to join when you needed two sponsoring members to approve you. I never could get two members but eventually they saw the error of their ways and dropped that requirement. But my enthusiasm to join dropped as well since the club meeting location is too far away from me in today's traffic. Then there's the Lions Gate Model A Club. I was in that club for a long time as well and it was great for a while with monthly tours and workshops. Then the president had a dispute with a member or members and felt compelled to resign. The club then became more of a clique so far as I'm concerned and my latest membership application was rejected for no stated reason. Maybe it's because I tried to support the first president, who knows? So now I'm in no Model A club, no matter how much I could use some help sometimes. It's a sad thing but the state of the old car hobby around here isn't good for various reasons.
That was one of the best A video s I've ever seen. Thank you so much for the time spent on the efforts from the members.What year was the car,and do you know the colors off hand.Ive got a 28 Tudor in the same colors.Id going to have a few cans made up for myself for here and there areas.Again awesome job ,everyone involved should know ! Thx Dean J.
Dean, thank you for watching! The car was a 1930 Model A Tudor. I believe the color is Chicle Drab. MAFCA has released their updated Paint and Finish Guide.

Come on guys. You've got lots of help, lots of tools. You've got no connection to reality at all, at least not mine.
