I very much appreciate that you are not playing some god awful music in the background, and instead of continuous banter you stop and have silence while displaying parts of the car. What is hanging behind the dash? Well done. Thank you.
Thank you for watching. Behind the dash, is and unfinished, hopefully not too prominent, dual instrument cluster, for a couple of gauges to monitor engine and electrical status. Yet another unfinished piece of the puzzle.
You have a really nice, original late model T. The Model A wheels look a bit strange but i'm sure they drive better than the originals. Do you know anyone selling model T body plans ? I'm restoring a 1917 and am at that stage ... nothing in Lang's or Snyder but kits. Cheers !
Real nice! I have a ‘26 Roadster as well. I also have a ‘28 Sport Coupe that is that same color. It was restored that way, but I’m not sure that’s stock.
Thanks for watching. I'm working on a video all about the decision to try the Model A wheels on the T. I will dive into the brake drum support issue...
Sorry the color wasn't forest green it was Balsom Green. Also I thinned it roughly 25% and used automotive paint reducer instead of paint thinner. Medium reducer was about right for the ambient temperature at the time
All 26-27 cars and pickups had the same diamond running boards. The only difference is early 26 boards had large Ford script and late 26 and 27 had small Ford script.
The early 26 car and pickups had "footed" headlights and no bar. Then very late 26 changed to headlights mounted to a bar. There are accessory bars made that fit under the "footed" headlights. I have a extra accessory bar if you want to add the bar to your car car. car. car.
Great video. Nice to see your car close up. If you want paint for touch up take a chip of your paint about the size if a postage stamp to Home Hardware. They can scan it and give you a perfect match with their Beauty Tone Rust paint in gloss, semi gloss or flat. I took in the color chip for model A Ford Forest Green. Painted a test piece then when dry sprayed a couple coats of automotive clear. Thus protects it from UV rays and won't get chalky. After it dried i put the chip down on the paint. Perfect match. Hung it outside all winter and no change. Should last ok on vehicles used in summer. We're not out in salt and snow and these cars are not left out year round . A little less money than automotive paint.
Man! that's a great car! It's always a temptation to "improve" things but I think you have a great feel for what should be done and what should be left alone. All that's left to do now is stop by and give me a ride! 😆 Cheers

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "body plans". Do you mean drawings and patterns for making your own body parts?
I'm in the process of putting a 1927 on the road.
I really enjoyed your walk around.
Glad you liked it. Feel free to ask any questions you may have.

I believe Ford Channel Green continued into Model A production.
Nice job maintaining a truly historic car. I think those 30-31 wheels are designed to be supported by a brake drum.

Thankyou. What a gem of a car.
It's a pretty neat car. I am lucky that it joined our family :)
is it a runabout, or a runaboot? haha..
With my Canadian accent, it's definately a Runaboat. 🤣
Thanks
My pleasure. Glad you liked it.
Those coil boxes!!! 🤩
Aren't they something? One of the most compelling features of the Model T, IMO

Thanks for all the info. I have some painting to do...so this is helpful!
Are they early model a wheels?
1931 Model A wheels. I'm working on a video about them
Man, I love Model T's. I didn't really care either way, until I saw Scott's!
Thanks for watching. Ts are special.
this is very scare my cat is sad
Is it positive or negative ground?
Model Ts are negative ground. Then, in 1928, the Model A was positive ground. Fords stayed positive ground into the 40s I think.
Parabéns aqui do Brasil.
Hello from Canada. Welcome!
You also have diamond runningboards, which is a pick up item
Wow! Thanks for tellibg me that. That settles it. It was a pickup originally! Thank you.
All 26-27 cars and pickups had the same diamond running boards. The only difference is early 26 boards had large Ford script and late 26 and 27 had small Ford script.
@@donniebrown-mv7hb good to know. So the mystery remains... Was it originally a pickup?
My grandfathers has a bar going across his head lights on his 26 was that bar an option?
The headlight bar was added to the production car later in 1926. All 1927 cars had one too. It was also a popular accessory. I would like one...
