The Model T is alive and kicking again! What a great job done which was a pleasure to watch over all the episodes. Looking forward to see you ride in the Model T for a few miles.
Heavy vibration on right headlamp assy. I like your style and video presentation! Can't wait to see you and the family on it's first test drive...plus that dog!
Wow! I have seen all 18 videos and am amazed at the skills you have in different disciplines. Great restoration job. Thanks for sharing. Congratulations.
Wow! Congrats! Never delved into the T rear end, mostly just engine and transmission. Pretty simple for the most part! Now...where's that drive video!?
Hi, what a great series about your restoration of the Ford T, now that I know what everything looks like, partly because of this I can rebuild my scale model (1:10) of my grandfather's Ford T and there is only 1 picture of it , probably one from the years 1921/22/23, he bought one in 1932 and converted it into an ice cream truck. So it will be a huge challenge to build it. And thanks for sharing your experience and videos video
When you look at all the fine work done on this car by one incredibly talented man, how can anyone give him a thumbs down????????????Maybe they are childishly jealous?
I've seen all of the restoration's episodes so far and it's absolutely unbelievable what you've done with the vehicle. i admire people who can restore old things. what value would the vehicle actually have today, after the restoration? It must have been countless hours of restoration. that is actually priceless.
Model T’s are simplicity at its best. I’d bet the farm your blood pressure is very respectable from working on this old lady. I know just watching your videos has a good effect on mine. 😁 so.... when’s the “Shake down drive”? You’d better make sure Walter has a pillow to sit on so all the neighbors can see what a lucky dog he is to ride in Dad’s jalopy. Great job as usual!
Jared! You have done a FANTASTIC Job getting this BEAUTIFUL Car Going again! You are wise to ditch the Hassler`s, They look cool, But they put a LOT of stress on Your Axel plates, And the single bolt that holds them on wares out AWFUL! I am putting a Anti Sway stabilizer bar in Mine, And I will not have to modify anything other then using a couple of bracket`s that I made for the Rear axel! I am using the Hasslers on the front! They hold up pretty well! The Anti Sway bar keeps the Car from tilting bad when making hard turns! I put one on a 1929 Model A Ford Four Door "Blind Back", One The Heaviest Body's used on passenger Cars, WHAT A DIFFERENCE it made!
I stumbled upon your first video and watched the whole series without breath. What a magnificent work. Can't wait for another one. I am glad you made it as it should, not some hot rod shit or similar. Pure preservation and conservation. New life to an old machine. Great!
Good job. I'm surprised about 2 things. One you didn't use classic car jacks from that Era and I was waiting for you to hand crank that ford to start it! I have 5 jacks from that time. My dad used them back in the 60s to level his camp. They are my next project to restore!
Silent time-lapse videos are better than annotated. Although the work on the rear axle is also interesting, especially the difercial and planetary gear system! The Model T had a pedal-operated mechanical drum brake on the rear axle, or just a lever-operated parking brake? Otherwise, the system of suspension the rear axle with a massive transverse leaf spring was so pre-dimensioned that there were no deformations over the years, which testifies to the quality of the construction!
This vehicle is pretty cool! Some of the technology used back then is definitely unusual compared to today's. I bet you get folks all the time that tell you to turn it into a rat rod. Throw in a Ford 9" and a Chevy crate (using hillbilly voice)
3 annoying things in an otherwise awesome job: The broken radiator frame, the steering wheel repair job and the door paint job. Other than that congratulations. Great job and you make it seem so simple.
That's a good move putting the rear brakes on the ground you didn't end up like what happened to another RU-vidr called CarsandCameras who had the car oil spitting, I found it funny. Although that on the Model T's empty thank goodness.
Un gros merci pour tes vidéos! Cela nous permet de voir comment la mécanique des ces voitures, tout en étant très simple, à quel point c’est ingénieusement songé! Henry Ford était un Elon Musk des années 20.
Really loved the video and the series . Only submission why didn’t you paint the veh . You did everything and made the veh such a beautiful piece . Do paint it if it’s okay waiting to see in it’s full glory . Inspirational and so mentally soothing 😃😃
Parabéns!!!! Eu amo ver vídeos de restauração!!! Você entende bastante desse assunto e faz tudo com perfeição, com amor!!!! Sempre fico aguardando seus vídeos e fico completamente feliz por passar alguns minutos distraído, principalmente esquecendo a Covid-19. Congratulation!!! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 BRAZIL 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
What a great series of well done video's, from a very talented guy. I'd really like to know what air stapler you were using in the build. I kept checking your tool lists but didn't see anything listed, unless I missed it somewhere in the series. You are to be applauded for your persistence in those areas that were new to you but you dug in and found a way to do it. Five stars to you sir.
IMO, good idea to ditch the double Hassler springs, get new spring perches and go back to stock. I don't think AC or Rocky Mountain brakes will work with the Hasslers anyway. :)
I have binge watched this restoration. In time, how long did it take you? Do you have another job, or is this it? I’m 82 so I’m not out to run you out of a job. I have loved every segment, particularly you filming so really see what you are doing. I’ll look for more of your work.
I doubt you can get the rear wheel nuts tight enough with the factory hubcap wrench. I torque mine to at least 75 foot pounds, then tighten more as needed to get the cotter pin holes to line up. :)
@@Jerod_Helt If it feels like it's taking way more than 75 foot pounds to get the cotter pin holes to line up, you can add a washer under the nut to try and achieve a better combination of torque and cotter pin hole position.
Before you began mentioning the cotter pins; I have thought about them all along your build. If we used that many cotter pins today, there be a lot of people going to the hospital for stiches every week. One thing about Henry Fords Model T design that bothers me the most is where the gas tank is located. What the hell was he thinking? And do you really have to pull the seat out to fill the tank and then smell the spilt gas all day. Plus, back in those days people smoked a lot. I wonder how many people started themselves on fire or blew themselves up?
Looks like the preferred method of entry to the driver seat is through the passenger side door. It doesn't look possible to fit through the driver side.
Great job as always, but regarding the "fil-frein" (sorry I don't know how to pronounce in English, I'm talking about the safety wire) on the driveshaft, it shouldn't be in shape of 8? To avoid loosening the screws.
Awesome old Tall T you have man. I’m curious about the gear oil and grease you used. Does a Model T require specific fluids due to its age and the type of materials they used back then?
I’ve been waiting for this video! You are incredible! My ‘27 differential seems ok but the oil is jet black. There is no drain plug. Is there any way to put in fresh oil without taking it apart?
bravo, bon travail, mais où sont passé les petits ressorts du train arrière. Pierre de Vierzon France. well done, good job, but where did the little rear springs go? Pierre de Vierzon France.
