    i love the way the a starts. get the biggest kick out of it when the engine seems to quit turning over while starting and out of nowhere it starts running. when i was 16 and all my friends wanted porches and trans ams all i wanted was a model a. finally got one at 54.

      Yeah, I've always found them fascinating! I like street rods too but like an original just as much! It's like being transported in time!

    Replace that two blade fan with an aluminum one. They are prone to fail from stress cracks and cause damage or bodily harm.

    I see you also have a 1969 Camaro on the other side of your garage. You have some nice toys.

    Next time, try running a temporary fuel source like from a land mower right to the carburetor.

      Yeah he was different, he used his brain. Most all of his ways of doing business and thinking still apply today. Don't get me wrong a few things were off the wall but it was a different time back then. Read his book. My life and work. I was amazed at how much he predicted what would happen in the future

    @stevewhittier3170 5 років тому +1

    As particular, and concise as you are about everything, I'm surprised by the way you spelled model in your description. Good video nonetheless. Keep up the good work. Thanks!

    • @slow_restoration
      @slow_restoration  5 років тому +1

      Fixed, Thanks for the heads up! Spelling was never my strong point.

    That's a tidy body, it's nice to find them like that. The grille shell is 31, 30 is smooth stainless without the the black recesses.

    • @slow_restoration
      @slow_restoration  4 роки тому

      Yeah, I think he has both grills. Just liked the 31 better. Thanks

    @jeffleblanc8850 4 роки тому +1

    Id make me a hot rod outa that no disrespect to the purest I’m just not into old wooden wheel and driving 30 mph I guess it’s a little to good to chop up but if it was rougher that would be setting on a new frame it would make a awesome hot rod trough but I’m sure you are gonna keepmariginal

      They are neat! I kinda like it in its rough look!

    • @robfrye4664
      @robfrye4664 4 роки тому +1

      Actually there's thousands of restored Model A's out there, not at all rare, so value is pretty relative. They're worth much more when built as nice street/hot rods. Sorry purists! But then it all comes down to what the owner wants. This is a pretty decent old girl, great for a reasonable 'rebuild' for a fun neighborhood banger..

    My dad has a 29 rumble seat coupe. Nowhere near as complete as this one. He plans on making a rat rod. The top was chopped long ago.

  • @johnweeks538
    @johnweeks538 5 років тому +1

    Darn I was hoping the motor was gone and the frame was bad shape so you s10 frame it or something and v8 it LOL but it does run amazingly well for being that old I wonder if the motor has been rebuilt at one time

    • @slow_restoration
      @slow_restoration  4 роки тому +1

      LOL, it has been rebuilt! There's something about the way these things sound!
