  • ‪@MerlinsOldSchoolGarage‬ takes one of the five model T's he has around the yard and helps Makay put this one together for his around town car. There is a lot of work to do, and a lot to teach Makay about his new grocery getter!

    I was hoping you'd be on today.
    First of all I was watching this Trucking video. They were loading. At this old Packing House Ontario California. It was probably back from the thirties. Del Monte's. Fat guy was walking around it's all dusty feel.
    Came across two old model theater Model A what are the most like a two-door the other one I couldn't really tell but the girl in the the engine was still in it..🤙🏾😎

    That is crazy 1 leaf spring for the entire rear suspension, mind blown lol.
    I would imagine the rear axle fell out a lot with how few mounting positions there are.
    seems like everything on those old Model's is mounted with 2 bolts and a prayer.
    I have never worked on any cars older than the 50's just dont see that stuff much in PA RUST belt.
    Everything here rust apart way before 100 years, hell even 50 years unless Garage kept.

    Hey Merlin,
    I have heard a few people say they did not know how to work on a model T.
    That is silly to me.
    If ya just look at the things, they almost tell ya what they need and how to do it.
    That 26-27 body sure looks to be in good shape, minus the bullet holes.
    I have that same body I am going to use to make a hot rod roadster pick up commonly known among hot rod people as an RPU.
    Old Fords are so much fun to play with !

    When you where doing the Brakes I wish I could have come and Help. I ran a Brake Reman Shop for 16 yrs For HD Trucks and we also rebuilt all kinds of OLD Brakes and Brake Bands for Mod A and T and you name it. Stocked every size of woven lining you could imagine. We even did Industrial Shoes and Brake Bands 4ft to 6ft across and 8"in wide for Cranes and so on. We did not do Bonded linings so what I would do (if possible) was was strip the bonded material and create a rivet pattern to secure the lining and build from there. If I had a Nickle for every reman brake shoe I assembled I could have Bought a island and retired 20 yrs ago.

  • @jackreed3445
    @jackreed3445 11 місяців тому +1

    You should build a starter that works on the front of the crank. Also, the top petcock is the full amount of oil in the engine. The bottom is the least allowable amount. That is going to be a great grocery getter. Not much maintenance required and what there is is easily accessible. A little upholstery and a license plate and you are off and running with a spare 9volt in your pocket it looks like.

    I just went back to that video.
    What are the one of them used to be a taxi cab at the yellow and black and it says cam on the door. The other one is kind of like that green when you picked up but it's all black the top of the motors got a big cap overhead some kind of electrical wire going to plug going into it does have a starter. It's an old Packing House Del Monte just moved into a few days ago. Can I get this in Spanish. What the gas is walking around his big old dirt lot comes across these old cars just sitting in the middle.

    I am a huge Ford fan, but the Model T was one car I never wanted. Not in stock form. The pedals and controls still baffle me after watching it done many times. Model A and Model 40 were more my speed. You do have to love the T for starting it all and they are still able to drive places most cars and trucks can only dream about. I am glad you are keeping them alive and inspiring the next generation.
