Will it Run? Ford Model T Part 2 With Peter Anderson!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- This Ford Model T hadn't been started in over 50 years... We spent a couple of days on it, and now it is time for a test drive! This week we are joined by my friend Peter Anderson who flew in all the way from Australia to hang out and wrench on a few projects with me while he was visiting! What a great surprise, and Peter is such a good sport to put up with the chaos here! A great visit, and we worked on several fun projects, so he'll be popping in for a few videos now!
I hope you guys like this 1926-1927 Model T coupe that my friend Matt found for me... I mentioned to him that I wanted a "tall T" in all-original condition, and did he ever find the right one!
She's a barn-stored, one-family owned car, stored since the late 40s, according to the info I got from the gentleman that sold me the car. He bought some T's at a farm auction in Saskatchewan last year, and was just going to use the rougher ones to make a T racer, and agreed to sell me this sweetie!
I never thought I'd find such a nice untouched one at an affordable price, so I am just thrilled with it. Plans are to make it run well enough to putt around the yard, and eventually go through the mechanicals and restore the interior so it can be driven as much as possible!

Thanks for checking out the latest episode of "Will it Run?"! This time we'll see if we can get my old Model T to move under its own power for the first time in 50 years! This episode picks up where part 1 left off, and then we'll go for a ride with our guest my good friend Peter Anderson of Australia! He flew all the way to Canada to hang out and wrench on a few projects with us while he was here! I thought it would be fun to see what he thought of the old "T", and so we went for a drive and then I let him at it! Many thanks to Peter for surprising me and sticking around to help out!

Gaskets hung on plywood wall,
Stacks of bumpers ten feet tall;
Rescued parts and mounds of hoses,
We ain't got no bed of roses.
But life up here ain’t nearly bad.
We ain’t rich, but we ain’t sad.
Our dreams are those of veneration…
The mislaid Cold War Generation.
No muscle iron defiles our sight,
The mundane is our great delight.
You boyz can pimp the IROC-Z…
But Exner’s musings speak to me.

UP Post Script:
Though daily drudge spawns weariness,
And sometimes bring its dreariness,
The light that shines forever bright
Will drive away the clinging night.
Editor’s Note: Well, The Poet is all stove up now since that straight eight soap opera came to a dramatic climax. It seems he had his money on the Buick, and now the bookies are pounding on the door. Naturally, the little rat bastard has fled the neighborhood, leaving me to face the goddamn music. And Wifey.
Keep punching, Scott.
Is the motor a Jack Roush engine?
@@lbindert yeah, coyote.
It is still alive. Remarkable. Fix up the lights with original parts, glass windshield, and leave it alone. Mabye some new old tires? Independence day Parade Queen. Petes a Ford guy, ya those older Fords were pretty tough! P.S. the Packard needs sae 30 and stp!
Not to many people alive that have had the pleasure to drive such a automobile...I’m jealous,your lucky so is the Aussie!
The wheat farm, dirt road, old red barns & a Model T....... perfect Mate!
You forgot the quintessential gigantic black French poodle in the front seat with her master. Perhaps cliche but a classic image of a simpler time nonetheless.
@@cratecruncher4974 Yeah, you're right! The old farmer & his dog.
???
@@cratecruncher4974 ???
@@tdiamonds23ice82 A humorous reimagining "man and his hound in old pickup" stereotype. Salt Flats got it.
This model was called a "doctor's coupe" I believe. Fix the radiator, get some floors, new upholstery and headlights that work and she's ready for plates. Few people realize the historical importance of these cars. Bravo, she's awesome.
All too true. The Model T is as historic as flight, the Maxim machine gun, an refrigeration. These things literally changed the world.
My Grandfather always started his T with the crank because he said that it provided more electrical power to the engine from the battery because he wasn't pulling down the battery at the same time he was trying to start it. I never remember his old Mod T not starting on just one crank every time even in the dead of winter. I'm 66 and this was a long time ago when i was a pre-teen. He would take us on a trip into town and he would often go around 50 mph but that was really moving out for that old tin Lizzie. It is a wonderful memory.
TBull Cajunbreadmaker All 6 volt cars start better with the crank.....as my Dad used to tell me, crank it over two turns ignition off to build compression then turn on and give it a sharp jerk....with the thumb not wrapped around the handle! Do not ask me how I know about the thumb thing.....
@@jamesanderton344 Yes that's true about the dead cranks and the reason you used your thumb is because the crank could bind up every once in a while no matter how well lubricated and cleaned it was on the shaft. When you wrapped your hand and fingers around the crank handle, if it binded up and the crank started turning with the engine your hand could be broken big time. So by using the thumb your hand would not get caught up on the handle and the thumb would be simply pushed away from the crank instead of your hand being wrapped up and twisted around with the crank. PaPa said he had seen a lot of people with broken fingers and wrists. I'll bet a lot of people had to learn the hard way back in the day.
TBull Cajunbreadmaker that’s it. My Dad wouldn’t buy another Ford until 1967!
TBull Cajunbreadmaker sounds thrilling to go fast in an old Lizzie!
Some day we all will be dead, but this damned old Fords will still run :-)
Seeing that old model T cruising around is so wonderful and the best part it's original not all butchered up and turned into a hot rod I'm so glad you got this one and saved a part of history
There's just something satisfying about seeing that T emerge from the barn with the round hay bales beside it.
I sure agree!
Great to see Peter Anderson with you enjoying your beautiful Model T, what a delight.
Annie was such a sweetheart,
bless ‘er.
She was indeed and thanks for the kind comments, cheers.
Hard to believe I ever lived without my weekly dose of Cold War Motors!
Thanks again for another great episode!
👍👌👏
Me too for sure!
Best regards luck and health.
After watching the latest episode I just had to come back and rewatch this masterpiece. The last 10 minutes is pure cinematic art!
I used to think model T’s were slow but having driven one, I wouldn’t want to go any faster in it!
45
It's funny when you think that nobody really knew how fast these cars would go until they put them on paved roads.
The guy who sold me my 23 touring said you can go a lot faster in this car than you should be going. Of course I drive at a good clip and luckily I haven’t hit anything.
A drive like that is why we take on the challenge of getting an old car like that running. it's history and a feeling of better times gone by.
Three years ago, I missed this episode, was a good to watch and see Pete Anderson.
That really is amazing that you got that to run and drive with minimal work. They really built those cars to last and to find one stored for 50 yrs and in untouched condition is even more amazing. Thanks for the great video and sharing with all of us.
LOVE SEEING THE WHEAT!!!!! As a kid in 2nd grade, we learned about Alberta, and the massive wheat crops. I would love to see them in real life.
This one brings back sweet memories of a '25 coupe my dad had . Purchased from a guy about 1949 who was collecting vehicles considered "old" at the time (20s, teens, and earlier) for re-sale. These were very plentiful in the late 40's.
Ours was a one-owner - yes, an old maid school teacher had it and stored it until the re-seller removed it from her garage. The interior was totally original, complete an 'A' sticker from WWII on the windshield (US ration that would maybe get you to the grocery once or twice a week). There was a Model T club in Rochester NY at the time with over a hundred members and owners. As about a 12 year old, I helped my dad take the engine/transmission (not really separable) down into the basement where we did a complete disassembly/assembly during the winter. Even lapped the lead bearings with a knife. That engine absolutely purred like a kitten when complete - would idle down to well under 500 rpm. In fact, if you could get it to stop a the right location, it would spontaneously fire upon switching to magneto - no starter required!! Thanks for the memories.
My condolences to the Anderson's for their loss.
It was strange but entertaining to hear "Same ol' shit." in an Australian accent.
The T looks and sounds like so much fun! I hope some new tires are in its future.
Thanks again for taking us along for the ride!!
It's Sunday morning in Australia so that can only mean one thing; the latest from CWM. I eating my breakfast and watching a beaut old Model T going for a spin. Good to see Ando there as shotgun and observeor. Those Model T's had a wierd driving set up but you would get used to it pretty soon.
Thanks for taking us for a ride through the wheat fields that was super cool looking like it belonged there. This channel never disappoints.

Keep punching, Scott.
I think I can turn a few of these into a first album.
Some sort of road beaten sackabilly music.
@@AryDontSurf Have at it. Any royalties to be paid to Cold War Motors, Scott Newstead as payee. At the very least, Scott gets performance rights. I will accept a case of Jameson's Irish Whiskey as my payment.
@@marcomalo02 I don't suck that bad, but I'm not exactly talented either. So you gotta figure this may end up in a case of Bushmills, and possibly a rusted Dualjet as royalties.
@@AryDontSurf I'll trust you on the royalties as long as Scott gets to play the music for free. When the party happens we'll all meet in Ardrossan, Alberta and drink the Irish. Deal?
I'm certainly not the cold war generation but this is my kinda song. And this is my kinda shit
I haven’t even watched yet but gave it a thumbs up before settling in to watch my favorite channel. 👍👍☮️
Oh beautiful, for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain!
What? Oh, right...
Oops, wrong country. Sorry about that.
Blame it on our resident host and Canadian renaissance man for the cinematography
that inspired my singing there - and this is the ONLY way you want to experience me
singing a dang thing, trust me.
Cheers, Peter! Heck of a commute you got there. Thanks for being a good sport and
condolences on your loss, mate. Pups, man, they get the core of our hearts...
An enthusiastic thumbs up on this episode's cinematography (even the Frankers nostril
close-ups!), musical score (y'all know that's Scott doing those too, right? Hence "Canadian
renaissance man"), the fabulous Ford (sounds just like the Ford 8N tractor my dad used to have)
and of course the regular cast of FRANKERS, Tom and the Agents.
These are heady times, Mr. Scott, to be savored as long as possible sir.
Thanks again for inviting us along for the long ride.
Speaking personally, it's been a pleasure sir.
Here 'til I ain't,
-Ed on the Ridge
Like Agent Jim said " That's a very nice car ! " totally agree, a great design that still works almost 100 years later :) Cheers from Australia to Scott, Frankers, Tom, and all the Agents :)
This Model T I am pretty sure was built in Windsor ON. I help tear down the casting plant where I think the engine was cast in 2007. We love your channel keep up the good work.
I love the setting you used to showcase the T. Wheat fields, Parked in a pole barn, hand cranked complete with fashionable farmer clothes!! Just like It was back in its day. Thank you CWM for the time travel to another millennia when life was a whole lot simpler and moved a lot slower!! Francine look lovely in her seat watching over things.
Worlds collide! Drone footage of a model T tooling through amber waves of grain in the sun set.
Great to see Peter there. I follow his channel long time. Awesome.
Outstanding, not one bit of plastic on motor, 90 yrars old. Cheers from Oklahoma
Oh wow, that farm was a perfect filming location.
Hi Milo! Yeah, I was very happy my sister let us film the drive through their field, and the weather cooperated just in time! Cheers boss....
Yet another marvellous episode. Terrific adventure for Peter Anderson, he looked quite comfortable there!
Closing footage of the T trundling around was epic, poetry in motion, Frankers looking gloriously goofy in the passenger seat.
Well done Y'all, and thanks for all the trouble you go to to post these fabulous videos.
Mr Anderson....I've enjoyed following your '57 Plymouth videos, A beautiful car sir. We need to see progress on it though.
And Scott's model T....unbelievable that a car that sits that long fires right up. Absolutely stellar!
Such early autumn beauty in Canada!
I love the Model-T through the wheat fields!
I live in the San Francisco, Ca area, but grew up in Buffalo, NY, just across the border, reminds me of the Autumn.
That T is the standard of "base" that all other cars should be measured against. Oh it's the "Ace of Base". Great to see her running.
Your aerial video and music are absolutely professional quality.
Hey thanks; I did have fun putting this one together. Luckily my brother is a terrific R/C pilot and we always get a bunch of nice stuff to pick from... Cheers!
Very much enjoy the banter, education, and your appreciation of all mechanical parts that you have reconditioned for use in this series and the straight 8 series. Nice to see someone recognize old school quality of a bygone era. Of course all would not be the same without Frankers gracing the scene. Cheers from Southern Alabama.
I like the Gary Cooper "High Noon" filming angles at the end. Well done.
Great job Scott on the old girl, another car put back to good use, can’t wait till you paint her black and have her looking beautiful
Fun video and another lovely, evocative closing sequence. What a cute car. Cheers.
Always loved the sound of old T running
Best Utube Channel ever.. Not a puf of smoke in sight... Please go forth and multiply!!!!
Love it, love it, love it! Cool watching you hang out with Peter. I liked the foreshadowing shots of the wheat field as the video progressed leading up to the driving finale . The trail whistle in the distance.... the camera work.... just great. A treat to watch. Thank you
Hey, thanks for saying so; glad you liked this one, it was fun making it, but definitely a bunch of work, haha! Cheers from here...
Let's see if the new junk sold today can still drive through a wheat field 95 years from now. Nice old Ford !
Such an honest design, the T Model Ford..one gets the feeling that its default state is 'ready-to-work' - dust 'er off after 60 forgotten years and drive to town!
G'day Pete...that was some fancy wheel twirling, there (and I'm jealous as all shit.) 😊
16:50 There are some true daredevils in the Agency...The absolutely LAST thing I would do is reach over a spinning fan, even if I was following the radiator connection, but you guys are like "Hey - look at this!" And I liked the camera set up for the ridealong...people say "I wish I was the fly on the wall" when referring to eavesdropping, but in this case, you're more than welcome to come along. This is just too cool for school!
Wow. You just took me back to 1978 and going for a ride with Sophie, Mom, Dad, me and Penny the dog. A mid summer night and we go to the drive in for ice cream cones and a drive around town and out in the country on some gravel roads before dark. Damn you Cold War Motors for getting me misty eyed! Good job Agents...Carry on!
Closing shots...Perfect.
Be nice to Peter! His videos are so satisfying.. don't corrupt him. You gotta love UA-cam.
My mind is blown by how well that thing runs for how old it is. That's truly amazing.
Ninety years ago in my mind I can see a couple with a picnic basket off for fun day out The T driving pass the old red barns looks like she was home. From another Aussie thanks for sharing 👏👏. She’s a keeper Scott
Good Surprise to see Pete there, he does really good work.
Wow. You and Frankers taking the T through the fields with the sun starting to set, that’s some beautiful and atmospheric videography right there, and with a soundtrack to match! Just wow. 👌👏🏻
Back in the past ... a successful video. Thank you for sharing and thumbs up.
ALWAYS SO KOOL TO HEAR THE SOUND OF LIFE IN A-LOT OF WORK TO GET A PROJECT RUNNING, THE REST IS GOING TO BE ICING ON THE CAKE SCOTT............................
Hey Peters there. I watch his vids too.😀 cheers from Oz.
Scott. what a beautiful car only thing missing is a tartan plaid belt. What a cool guest to come over and see what all the fuss is about. The OG go kart
Scott besides my love amd fascination with the late 50s and early 60s cars I had loved very early cars, the model T touring especially and it is so fascinating to see an actual 100 year old piece of history that was built so simply and so well. Getting used to the order of starting ant the different pedal arrangement and function reminds me of first time driving a stick and after the learning to drive an on the column. I had read in the book Cannery row of how a borrowed model T pickup need a few parts borrowed and then when going over a steep hill the boys had to finally back it up over the hill as the forward band was worn but the reverse not so much, thinking of your car and that book is a trip into a simpler era, when every man had as much as another, be it very little and shared willingly, this reminds me of good friends I have, and of you and the guys who do the same, not working extra hours at a job for money, but forthe fun of an interesting project and just hanging out with good friends, as one the best ways to spend time, sharing it with people you like.
In addition to the subject matter, the cinematography is absolutely breathtaking.
Its amazing that these still pop up in such original condition still, will there ever come a day no more are found
Feels like traveling back in time as you bounce down the dirt track between the wheat fields.
That Ole Girl is amazing! For her to have survived this long, and still perform her Duties! WOW!
Ando in Canadia! Mate it'd be like Queensland without the heat, hey? Guys thanks for this episode, good to see moustaches translate well! Cheers
That Model T wants to live! I love how it starts on one sharp turn of the crank! Also enjoying the field shots and the sound of the trains, very evocative!
MY TWO FAVORITE CAR GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was not expecting that at ALL! You guys made my month!!!
Thanks for saying so! We had a great time hanging out and playing with some old heaps... Cheers!
What a cool channel. Never thought I'd run out of content but UA-cam is starting to get old just like sports and TV. This channel is so entertaining. I've had 5 black Labs growing up and Ill always have one, but that poodle is awesome. What a cool dog.
I love it, "These tires are really bad" I kept going too with a green one owner 1965 Galaxie two door hardtop with dry rotted, bias -ply two-stripe Nylon tires from Stockton, California to Reno Nevada at 70+ mph on Interstate 80 back in 1991. The car sat for years before I got it for $800 and drove it to Nevada. Winter made it like an ice rink all the way , fun times in a great old car :)
The results of Henry Fords competitive spirit and he liked money , but he put the average American on the road for $260.00 at the peak of the T. Great show, learned a lot about a T. Thanks
Awesome you guys never fail to put a smile on my face!,
My crazy neighbors to the North. Gotta love 'em.
So that's where he is.... I thought I was condemned to watch Marty's Matchbox Restorations....
Ian Wright I agree he is awesome Marty’s matchbox restorations are not bad but when it comes to UA-cam Coldwater motors that’s what you wanna see
@@Ellenslife851 I actually like Marty's video's. He is good fun and doesn't take himself to seriously. I found Peter Anderson's work and CWM at around the same time and I am fascinated by the skills they demonstrate.
Ian Wright I agree cwm It’s pretty good at what they do I have not watched Andersons work yet I will have to check him out but I have seen Marty’s matchbox restorations and I like the work that he does restoring matchbox cars
Great fun, I watch Peter Anderson on here all the time. Surprising to see him in Canada.
Scott! What a blast you are having with the model T! Wow! A little more TLC and you have a driver! The simplisty. To bad cars aren't built like that any more...
That's a stunner of a Model T, very few left in Australia. Love your understated production style, there's obviously shed loads of action and repairs happening between shots but you just glide right on over it.
i like how the ignition buzz is audible over the engine at all times
What a fantastic Model T!!! LOVE it!! Can't wait to see it fully restored, can really tell how much you love it!
When running on Mag, there is a sweet spot where the mag is at highest voltage. if you fiddle with the spark control and hit that spot, you will feel more power... and she'll take off like a scalded uh Turtle! I own two tees now and love them.
My name is Russell Bales and I drive a 1968 Ford f100 pickup ad a daily driver. I'm all for what you are trying to do. Keep up the good work and pass the torch on to the younger guys and dolls. Hahaha !
The ending video and drone footage , awesome . And it lives on.
Crickey !! It's Mr. Anderson, secret agent from downunder. 🛠
you just can't not smile. really smoothed out after ~15:30. Loved the drone video footage and music at the end. Well done !! Thanks.
The radiator is just a big teapot with cooling fins on it. It isn't a pressure radiator as you already know. In the old days shade tree mechanics used to crack a few raw eggs into the radiator and as they poached they eggs would temporarily seal the leaks. Lots of chickens so lots of eggs!!
Early again! I will sing "Oh Canada" after I watch the vid...
When I was a kid riding with my grandpa in his '22 Touring the headlight vibrated off and he ran over it. The replacement had an aluminum surround, while the original was painted, so it remained an odd match at least as long as my uncle kept the car.
Canuks in cars having radiator tea. Nicely done!
This pure lovely Model T is way before my time but gee, i can not see any modern vehicle sitting for 50 years and then running again with minimal effort. As this vehicle doesn't have all the drivers aids modern vehicles do, it was back when you had to use judgement, and know how to drive them. LOVE these old vehicles.
Great to see Peter in this episode, I follow both channels. Cheers from Melbourne Aust
Hi. Miss Mini Frankers seems to really like the old T. Natural instinct. Smart 🐕. Its a beautiful day, and a wonderful life. Thanks for the ride. revved up yooper
Hey Wayne! Thanks for the note; glad you liked this little production... Made possible by the generosity of the people who keep this show on the air... Cheers!
Sad to hear about Peters Dog passing away . Awesome videos , always looking forward to see what the CWM crew has been up to .
Really solid condition. So simple and to hear it running nice and smooth. I can see now why it changed everything. And if you think a bit
there are things on the road now that are not as good as this T. An amazing car. The first T i have had the ability to spend some time with
listening to it run, it has changed the way i think about them. To be honest not having spent any time at all thinking about them
it leaves a good impression. Not at all as crude as i once thought of them to be.
Your 100 percent correct, just get it working as it should and don't change a thing within reason. This time capsule could and should go to any car show in the world as is. There might not be another one like it and as a Canadian, I'm sure proud it came from Canada.
Wow, I cant believe the mag still works too! Thanks for bringing such a great survivor back to life!
Really enjoyed the Model T. When I went to the Henry Ford museum in Dearborn the curator said the Model T was the iPhone of its time. It transformed life in America and around the world. Nice to see Peter Anderson too from the same place as me.
Goddamn it. Now I want a Model T
32:50 begins one of those wonderful little segments in these old CWM videos that I love so much.
Scott really does have an artists' eye with these things sometimes, eh?
Again, cheers to *Peter* for being able to do what so many of us wish we could - a visit!
(RIP Annie...)
- Ed on the Ridge
greatest car ever made,well done with your project
Good job gentleman...good job. You preserved some more history.
And hello to your friend from Australia. :)
Thanks for sharing the trip through the wheat fields.. The Ford was right back home.... The last cut of Peter "enjoying" His Canadian cup of tea was outstanding.... 👍
This is great. 2 of my favourite youtube channels coming together under a Canadian prairie sky :)
Man I'd be smiling so big driving that T Coupe around that I couldn't stand myself! What a great video, I sure loved that! Best to you, Frankers, all the agents and an occasional Australian that stops by!
That Sunset sweet wheat T ride was absolutely fantastic. The music was great. Total therapy!
Hey thanks for saying so! Glad you liked it; I was pretty happy with that whole sequence, and we got very lucky to have all of the lighting and weather and car and puppy all cooperate, haha! Cheers from the usual suspects...
Great save Scott!-Enjoy all your expert work as well as the appreciation of favorite autos from bygone days. Keep it up-Tell Tom-it is not the same ol ...., Its beautiful!
