The people who designed and built that car could never have dreamed it would be driving around in 2021 and have something with the incredible technology of the cell phone on the seat. How amazing and well done!
You make a very excellent point Jessica, i had reply to you months ago however i forgot to press send, instead only "closed" the comment so it was "lost". Huh!
But i well remember this, and what i had said back when.. and because it keeps coming to mind? I am here again to state this verbatim, or best i can and better.
Here we go; Excellent point! The people who build this car could never imagined this, and had we told them about cellular technology, they would of thought of us as crazy. So it is, as i see our future, not to far from now...space traveling to other planets, with the help and technology of an advanced race. Who visit and share their space technology freely. Openly and take us on to journeys far far way from here to galaxies light years away. As much as we couldn't even imagine this.. And may i add, no faith or belief will be required. Just as hand held cellular technology today is common, to see these devises slip' sliding around on this bench of an very old car. As if, it is nothing.
Faith then as it will be now, will happen regardless of our limited beliefs. A very bright and promising future, despite anyone who would hope to stop it. They simply can't, nor ever will..in my own estimation.
I said.
And what reminds me of this, is a FB post from Wun Feather i will link bellow. As i will link this post and video to his page, with the utmost simplicity.
So thanks for being here. And a wonderful thanks to wonder of work and success of this channel.
It was such a pleasure to had followed all the videos, which climaxed to the above cognition, thanks to Jessica. And to God, whom inspired me to come back again, and again..
At first when i had lost the comm i "felt it must not have been meant to be" i wasn't wrong. I wasn't quite as ready maybe. Until now, and with Wun Feather. I think this cycle is complete. And done.

OUTSTANDING MASTER ART WORK IN RESTOREING A 1923 FORD T MODEL LOVE IT 💯 🔥
So cool that you’re enjoying the fruits of your labor.
My dad and I visited LB Swap meet in the late 1990s; lots of bargains and tons of parts. I see that the quantity of good stuff is still being sold. Great memories for me. There's no good swap meets within 200 miles of me in Las Cruces NM
It's a winner. Watched all your episodes as you were working on it. Well done.
A good drive, glad you figured the coil box issue out, someone has wedged pieces of wood in to hold mine tight, probably a proper fix to do on them but I am not messing with them for the time being.
This series of videos from start to finish is one of my all time favorites. Thank you for sharing this..
Very interesting! Thanks for the look.
My first Long Beach Model T Swapmeet was in 1972, and I went every year for 20 years while it moved from the old Hamilton Bowl to Memorial Coliseum. We would get there at dawn Saturday, sleep at our site(s) that night and leave late on Sunday. Glad to set's not all lawn furniture and Subaru parts, as it was when last I was there. Thanks for the memories.Drive safely.
I just love driving around in your Model T. Had a '27 coupe and your trips bring back some great memories - might need to look for another.
Great video. First antique car swap meet I’ve been to. Thanks for bringing us along. RT
You should buy a traffic light detector. I just bought one for mine. They are inexpensive but well worth having. Especially with the visor.
They attach on the windshield with a suction cup.
Thank you very much for this beautiful stroll with you on the fantastic Ford !!!
WOW !!! I wish i was in the car with you !! what a wonderful drive !! I love old cars ! Thanks for sharing this video !
Jarred,
I enjoyed your drive to the.swap meet. Good call on the #1 ignition coil. I have been driving Model T’s since since I was 18 years old and this is my 50 year anniversary of restoring Model T’s. I started at 15 years old and took 3 years to restore my early 1923 Model T with a Syverson Wagon Express.ash body. I still have it.
Your driving is very good although I noticed that you consistently stay longer in low gear longer than I do. I baby that low gear transmission band. On my wish list is a Ruckstell 2 speed differential. My 1925 Model TT has a Ruckstell 2 speed diff and it is very useful even at the lower speeds of a TT.
Well, back to changing a hand crank bushing. I like to use bronze oilite bushings whenever I can. By the way, the hand crank bushing is a 3/4” ID 1” OD 2 3/4” Long. Along with regular oiling, I have had long service life with oilite bushings.
Thank you for posting this video..
Very nice ! Thanks for the ride along !
Came for the 356, stayed for the T. We in Germany call this trip "auf eigener Achse" Great content as allways! Great greatings from Leipzig, Germany :)
Went to a Model T Hill Climb at Signal Hill with my dad when I was 15 back in 1972. Loved those old A's and T's even before that.
Thanks for posting this.
God bless the model T..
Well done sir 🤠👍. Fine Job👏👏👏
I enjoy your Adventures 😋✌
One more time is a very pleasant see your Ford rolling. The only thing is where is the little dog? Thanks for the video
You have a beautiful car!!
Wie in einer anderen Zeit ,wundervoll.😍👍
Congratulations on your restoration work of this car. I watched many episodes . Curitiba / Pr / Brasil ...
My mind is blown every time I watch your video's. Great job getting that machine back on the road.
I enjoyed the build series. and I also enjoy the drives you take. Regards, John
Imagine someone recording a video 80-100 years from now driving one of our modern day cars
Very nice trip and a pretty neat swap meet by the looks of it. Thanks for sharing man! 👍
Thank you for bringing this and other projects back to life. :) :)
Nice Swap Meet.... thanks for the ride 👍🎩👍
I drive a Model A. I see you have a good hang of the spark and throttle levers.
Excellent video. Love the T
Wonderful job!
Thanks for sharing the drive video!
Sooo cool!!!! Thank you!!
Looks like a great parts show.
The camera work is fantastic. Nice job.
Just got my 1926 model t fordor. Gonna need some tlc...great video!

She turned out lovely. Well done mate best of luck for the future. Paddy from Ireland 🇮🇪
THANK YOU FOR SHAREING 💯
The fact that you can roll all 6 windows down while driving just amazes me!
Love a good road trip!
YOU HAVE A GREAT T FORD, YOU DO A GOOD JOB DRIVING IT ! REALLY ENJOYED, 83 YR OLD MALE, A MOD. OWNER !
Fun to watch.
I LOVE THAT CAR!!!
Swap meet had some really nice looking automobiles.Congrats on your first real road test with the rebuild.
The rattling sound seems it may be whatever you have your go pro mounted on..Its picking up the audio directly on top of it.Just an observation.
I know that area.. you’re driving through the san pedro/wilmington area. Dude that’s badass. I live on my boat next to the henry ford bridge where the old ford plant used to be decades ago.
Make sure to use marvel mystery oil in fuel it helps our Model As and Ts keep valves rings from sticking and other benefits great video thanks for posting 👍
Lol I couldn't hear you very good but I knew exactly what the problem was happens to me as well I stick a little wedge in there to keep the coils from popping up
Thats one car pulling out of car show that won't spin tires and loose control lmao 😂
I love your air conditioning 6 Windows 28mph, I remember my Dad telling people his car had 4-40 air.lol.
it's hard without turn signal lol , i like that !! thx :)
Here is a ford running 100 years ... and my sister can't drive her Pos 2022 bronco 800 miles till it swallowed a valve ... lmao 🤣
At 1:50, who needs electric windows after all! LOL Nice !!! :-)
Jarred, Another great video! I love the automatic panning of the camera. How do you do that? Also you're a brave man for going that far. Of course that's a testament to the superb and thorough rebuild of your T! Did anybody else with T's there drive as far as you? I saw some Trailer Queen's there, which is no fun to me.
You are probably experiencing the closest thing to how your T drove originally, except for the poor roads back then. That to have had to add another dimension of driving to the whole experience!
I have 5 Corvairs that I have restored and I drive them regularly. Traffic in Michigan is a challenge for sure and that scares me more than fear of a breakdown.
Keep up the great work! You are an inspiration to others.
Regards, Casey in Detroit area, MI
Thanks for the comment. I think I drove the farthest. The camera is a 360 degree camera. You can pick your view and move it around when editing the video👍
Wild!
I bought a Chevy 1918 truck first year made from someone who didn’t know what it was I’m was gonna sell it but really thinking on keeping it because it looks so kool
I'm fascinated with the way your video camera seems to focus on you. as you're driving and then pans to the road ahead without you doing anything. How do you do that?
It’s a 360 degree camera. So it films everything all the time. Then you select the view when editing the video👍
@@Jerod_Helt That's very cool. I know a lot about Old Fords; guess I know very little about video cameras. You're very good with the editing, for sure.
when they 1st got married,my Parents had an identical T sedan .Until Dad swapped it for a 1929 Dodge Victory six.In todays traffic The constant pedal dance and advance throttle manipulation makes T driving a real experience. And because todays roads are jammed up, it's no problem driving a 100 year old car..A few years ago me and mate were driving a 1914 and were leaving cars behind out of the lights.
Good Car
the steering wheel is funny, like in half life, angular :)
I have spent a bit of time on the side of the road working on my TT
The Model T doesn't have a wheel brake. The right pedal is a transmission brake. It stops the transmission.
On the left is the lever and then the left pedal is the high/low speed and the middle pedal is reverse. The throttle is the lever on the right.
The Model A that began in 1927 was more like a modern car. There were wheel brakes but the transmission was not synchronized called a non-synchronous transmission similar to a tractor. It requires double clutching to synchronize the speeds of the shafts within the transmission and you can also use the rpm's to shift without using the clutch called float shifting. When I learned to bobtail in 1980 I was taught to shift around 1,800 to 2,000 rpm's without the clutch.
hey man I love you, you are a jewel on wheels
I would like to see these cars put back into mass production then the Government pass legislation making them the only cars allowed on the roads.
Great that this car is getting driven!! How cool is that?
Very little traffic. I guess everyone has moved out of California.
I'm surprised how well it kept up with traffic
omg thank u for liking my comment ! u built that model t better than I ever could!
Thanks for sharing, glad it all went well for you. Joe
Just curious if the windshield opens like on a soft top? It appears to.
Now I see it!! Lol
It does open👍
You should have taken Walter with you!
damn this car is faster than my car
How about Model T with EFI?
How are you shifting into high without the handbrake lever? I thought you had to throw it forward or something before letting off the go pedal.
Once I start moving I release the parking brake all the way forward then I just use the “clutch pedal” to hold the car in neutral when coming to a stop. I only pull the parking brake handle back when I park the car. The video linked below goes into more detail on how to drive the car.
How to Drive A Model T and Why It's So Hard to Drive on a Hill
ua-cam.com/video/cPTtXpzLBSs/v-deo.html
How is the steering on these cars is it hard to turn
It’s not hard to turn. But then again the tires are not very wide
You don't realize just how small this thing is until you watch him roll down all of the windows from the drivers seat. No wonder it gets 20 mpg.
What kind of gas milage do you get driving the model t curious to know also I'd really love to own one myself one day really cool piece of history you got there !
I’m not sure on the gas mileage, I mostly drive it around the neighborhood
@@Jerod_Helt cool I just started watching the build series
Fantastic video. What was your top speed on this trip.
Around 30 mph👍
@@Jerod_Helt Thanks so much. Felt 30 mph is about right for a Model T. Looked like you might be going faster. Absolutely loved your video. Thanks so incredibly much for responding. Much appreciated
Where did you get your traffic indicators from please
Snyders and chaffins 👍
Something that's always crossed my mind is..
Is there a seat-belt in the model T? if there's not is it legal to drive a model T around without a seatbelt?
No seat belts. You’re only required to have the safety equipment that came with the car. So since they didn’t come with seat belts it’s legal to drive without them.
What is a reasonable cruising speed for a Model T?
About 30 mph👍
how are you turning the camera while you drive?
It’s a 360 degree camera 👍
How fast were you driving on the highway? Thanks
Top speed is about 27mph
What are you using to rotate your camera?
It’s a 360 degree camera. It films everything and you pick the view point in editing
@@Jerod_Helt ohh sweet!
I notice your not shifting with the handbrake? Is this car custom somehow?
Rather than use the handbrake I just hold the clutch pedal in the middle for neutral.
@@Jerod_Helt Oh I see!
My wife and I would love to know roughly how many man-hours you put into this spectacular restoration?
Thanks so much for the most instruction playlist I’ve ever seen created.
Cheers! 👍👍
Thanks! I'm not sure how many hours it took, but It was a lot.
What's your top speed?
I hit 37mph once going down hill👍
Stop light changing! That’s the biggest worry I have when driving my model A.
Oh, if you only had power windows!
Will you repaint your car?
No
If a new car smashed into you,their airbags would off, the car would be totaled, the driver would have either a bloody nose or a burnt chest from the bags lol, probably a concussion, bruised head/knees, broken cell phone, trying now to call the police, their insurance, lawyer and wife. Meanwhile you get out look at them like Rodney Dangerfield did in Caddy Shack and say hey slap nuts you scratched my bumper !! 😂 Plus you didn’t even spill your coffee while they are all wearing theirs lol 😆
Why aren't you running on magneto?
I am👍
@@Jerod_Helt So it is my understanding that the coils are off once you switch to magneto. They aren't needed.
@@joealbert7773 no, the coils are always needed. But the coils either get power from the battery or the magneto.
@@Jerod_Helt Thanks, I didn't know that.
You still need the eyes... 🤣
Did ya get any offers on it?
Yes, a women did try to buy it, but it’s not for sale👍
I realize to keep the Lizzy original....but for reliability and safety...electronic ignition has no rival....yes I know it takes the whole view of "why"...but hey we don't live in a society that cares ya driving a unsafe vehicle of the past ...its why I have disc brakes and turn signals front damper etc.etc...all around....I know Henry is smiling at me just the same with thumbs up 👍 😀 👌 P. S., I do like the paint style of original period.
Roll down the back windows while you are driving, ha ha ha, 1920's Air conditioning. Try that today and you would crash, besides cars now a days don't even have crank windows.
what are you worried about? Back then there were no blacktop roads, gas stations in case of break down or good weather ! lol. Your screwing around with then levers too much, Drive it and like it !!
