I know some people complain about Boston/Taxachusetts accents in general, but the "B poost" even threw me for a loop. Love the leverage trick to get the beltline even between the doors and cab, and as someone that has never installed a Model A wood kit, this was a great educational video too. Nice-nice!
Any luck with those 36 rear tail panel measurements.Maybe stick it in one of the videos .and door belt lines too.Thanks again for the killer roof I can't wait to start chopping it up
Morning Travis! I was wondering how the wood would fit, kinda figured it would be a pain in the butt, most of my wood in my model A is still good, I want to replace my "B" pillar wood with rectangular tube, we will see, you are doing a 👍 fine job!!
Having gone through all of this on a 29 "basket case" CCPU, one has to wonder how it would have been putting these things together when they were new?? Did everything just "go together"?? Watching the old production line films, it sure looks like they did. They sure didn't seem to spend too much time getting things to assemble !! When they are as old as they have become and the "new" parts are after-market, there sure is a lot of "custom fitting" necessary. There probably aren't very many "Current Restored" Model A's that are exactly "identical" !! Getting the cab, bed, doors, hood, and grill to all line up is "lots of fun" !!! Than, you take it all apart to finish everything and DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN !!! Isn't the rear spring location on those 36 bones "behind" the differential?? The Model A is directly over the top/center of the diff. So, won't the 36 spring hanger move your wheels too far forward in the fenders and make the torque tube too long??? Maybe you plan on moving the rear crossmember/spring perch ???
I know you have the tools and skills to quickly make a roof insert, but I don’t! For benefit of your other viewers, I found that a mid 90s full size GM (Bonneville etc) has the perfect crown in both directions, for a Model A pickup. I took my wood bows to the salvage yard, checked roofs until I found the right one. $30 and 10 minutes with a sawzall … Shazam!

boston and the rest of the state sound much different... but he sounded a little scottish just then with that 'poost' slip up.
Hahaha yeah I don’t know where that came from 😂
Liking the daily videos, perfect length also 👍
At least you caught it, good job on the wood install.
Thanks for sharing, your moving right along!
Those radius rods are perfect for extending Harley springer front ends, for Choppers and the cab is looking very good Travis
It's coming together nice.

You should do a short on how you hung your portable bandsaw. Cool idea!
Not a bad idea!
You should have a lot more subscribers. Good job
I appreciate that!
Lookin great Travis, nice cab. Is he running a flathead?😊

Oh, boy, woodshop. (in the South Oh, boy is something you look forward too.)

Yeah it must have been a pain on the assembly line or they didn’t care about fit and finish as much. And you’ll see on the QC
