Alex and Dennis Taylor stop by Merlin's Old School Garage and learn about some old school ways of driving. Alex is up to the challenge to drive the Model T and really enjoyed ripping around the diesel golf cart! Thank you for watching!

100 years ago my great grandfather bought two model T s in Detroit. He and my Grandfather who was 16 at the time drove them with the whole family to Pasadena California. He told me the hardest part of the trip was holding the pedal in low gear for two days going over the mountains.

@@KrisD007 It's fascinating to think about details of "motoring" 100 years ago, that are just lost to history if we don't record the stories of our aunts, uncles, and grandparents... and if we're really lucky, our great-grandparents! My dad just turned 98 a few days ago and he's the "baby" of his family now. We have several of our close relatives writing down as many of those old stories as we can, while we can. Me dad has two older sisters that still enjoy pointing out his misbehaviors from the mid-twenties and on. It is fun!

That's a pretty amazing story. I couldn't imagine driving 30MPH all the way to Cali from Detroit. 11 hours to Myrtle Beach doing 70-80 is bad enough! How long did it take them for the whole drive?

This is partly why cast iron is used very often to build water control valves. Many folks don't realize literally every town in the US uses water control valves built from cast iron. Seems like the corrosion is the worst right at the water line where they get oxygen. But when they're submerged full time, it's almost like they have less oxidation and the metal lasts a lot better.
@shanevonharten3100
@shanevonharten3100 Год назад
. Rust is literally Oxidization, needs oxygen to happen. The bottom of the lake is extremely low in oxygen
@Husky1run
@Husky1run Год назад
I think because of the difference water flow from blue sand and clay may help preserve the engine a little better internally with the oil my guess
@onefootfighter22

Crankcase went under full of blowby, a lack of oxygen is the only explanation for the lack of corrosion. I've seen it before but never such a good example.

Oh boy "if you can start it you can drive it" brings back a cool memory. When I was 13yrs my first job picking roots on a 3/4sec. By hand. For a farm 91/2 hrs greyhound ride from home. 1 month in I wanted to go to town with my pay 600$ (1 month 12-14 hrs a day Sunday off). The farmer pointed to a old gmc public works truck (crew cab about 1960) and said " if you can start it you can drive it" well a couple hrs later I was going to town ( i was 13yr old the town cops didn't think I was a smart as I thought I was haha.)

Nextdoor neighbor when I was growing up had a 1916 model T Touring Car. He originally cranked it with his thumb over the crank handle as you do. Until it kicked back one time and broke his wrist. After that, he always cranked without his thumb over the crank - always under. If it kicked back it just pulled the crank out of his hand. No broken bones. Just sayin'.

I got to drive one of them the other day. It was not stock but a hotrod V8 350 Chev. motor. I have painted cars for 30 plus years and I was looking at his paint (someone else did before he got it). They used no sealer, primer and just sprayed most likely enamel single stage. Everywhere was solvent popped and all the ones that had the bubble top gone was a speck of rust. and it was freckled everywhere. Other then that it is in remarkable condition. He had the door panels off and windows out except for the windshield. Looking into the door panels there was no rust. The only rust I saw was on the drivers side rear window edge and it was surface. There was hardly any dents just the rear panel around the back window and the lower quarter on drivers side. The dents were door ding and slightly larger on the quarter. Easy fix. I have not done anyone's personal vehicle in years as I got burnt out. His 20's Model A made me excited to do it and preserve it.
