    My wife works with me on every project we have and we were both watching this video smiling because we fully understand the joy of having a true partner in life and not one doing what they want and the other doing the same. Having a true partner is something you just don't understand until you experience it.

    This video helped me immensely to swap out the radiator in my 1930 Coupe today. I followed it step by step with one exception. I put the hoses on my radiator and filled with water and ran it to operting temperatture before I replaced the grill and hood or rerouted the wiring. I did have to wait for the engine to cool down before finishing up but I preferred to have piece of mind that the replacement radiator was leak free before getting too far.

    That video had a boat load of "Tiny Tips" that make the change over so much easier. Great tutorial video Paul and Tina. It's always nice to see it done before doing it. Merry Christmas to you and your families

    Love these videos. I'm dealing with a severe cold, so I will keep it simple. Thanks Paul for all you do, and thank Model T for all she does. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving and a wonderful weekend.😰🙂

    I really appreciate your channel because a goal of mine is to daily drive a stock Model A. I've been slowing picking up bits of information over the years. You're the only channel I've been able to find that's niched down to the Model A & doing it well. You've motivated me to put another chunk of coal in the firebox & pick up the pace on this long term goal. Maybe this winter I'll have a fixer upper in my possession.

    Well done. Exactly the way I do it in every detail. Yes one person can deal with those nasty spring loaded radiator bolts, but more fun with two.

    Good video. You're lucky that hood lined up. I've had fun with that. Many times I swap out those cotter key bolts for nylon self lockers. If you have to adjust it's a lot easier though there is not much movement down there. On the old style clamps I put a little silicone grease on the inside of them helps them slide and tighten evenly. Hope your holiday was good. Nice having a helper to get that hood off!

    Great video! Excellent idea to use locking pliers to hold the tabs in alignment.

    Yet another great video! On my 30, I was able to disconnect the radiator shell from the radiator, and pull It far enough away to where I didn't have to disconnect any of the electrical. A friend of mine came over, we unbolted it and lifted it right out of the shell. I was hoping it would work that way considering I didn't want to take a chance on disconnecting any of my electrical, cuz I actually had it working really well at that point.
