Pulling my 1930 Ford Doodlebug out of the Trees after Sitting a Year. Will it Start?

This time at the Quick Speed Shop I want to fire up my 1930 Ford AA Doodlebug. Last year I parked it outside, derelict in the yard. Will it start? Let's add some gas and a battery and try it! You know what they say, these old Fords always start.
Please like, share, and subscribe. I put out new videos every Wednesday and Saturday.

I learned to drive on one of these. We called it the "Bug". That was about 70 years ago.

[@QuickSpeedShop]

Awesome!

Me too Walter! I was 12 yrs old when grandpa finally let drive it by myself in the back woods of his place in Lupton MI. Sometimes I even drove it down the county dirt road to a little store that had a gas pump. I went by a DNR officer once who just smiled and waved at me. Grandpas doodle bug wasn't near as nice and shiny as this one though. I mean lights and and actual seats?!

Looks good as new waiting for a Doodle drive... Sweet sounding toy.

Just an FYI if you have a stopped up radiator use about a table spoon full of lye to clean it out. Be advised if a radiator has had stop leak used in it or rotten cores it will also clean that out.

Just subscribed, what is in the first bay of the shelter, it looks like it is in gray primer?
Thank you.

[@QuickSpeedShop]

Its my 1931 Model A Ford coupe. It's built like a traditional 1940s hot rod.

[@JANIGHTENGALE]

What kind of rear axle

[@QuickSpeedShop]

Detroit Timken

[@KenthGustafsson300]

looks too shiney for been outside in the woods for a year

[@QuickSpeedShop]

Why would I lie about where it sat for a year? Those divots under the tires and dead grass don't happen over night. Also its shiny because I painted it 3 years ago.

Check out "the relic" the model AA doodlebug my grandfather built. It looks a lot like yours (wooden spoke back rims). It also has an overheating problem right now. ua-cam.com/video/3KDgN3N-kAc/v-deo.html
I'm halfway through your doodlebug playlist and loving it!

[@QuickSpeedShop]

That thing is rad! I love the chain drive! 💯💯
