Never thought I’d be interested in older cars, until my 87 year old father bought a ‘31 A Tudor and I’m in deep! That’s how I found your channel. I haven’t seen a channel with the meticulous approach you show, and that’s saying something. Subscribed.
My heart goes to the Falcon. For my generation, these are the Model A everyman cars that have wonderful styling, comfort and durability. Simple mechanicals, good fuel consumption, and room for everyone make these gems my favorite. ❤️
Wow! And I have only a TT to fuss over. I always start with the easiest projects first, then work my way up to the more difficult and costly ones. Much like building up momentum.
nice looking collection. My heart goes out to the Falcon. as a basic car they did good. If I could find one in reasonable shape I would enjoy working on it.
I like the T stuff just because I have one, but the 65 is close to my heart because a two-door hardtop was our family car back in the 70s. I'm in the middle of an engine "refresh" on my T so I'd be very interested in seeing anything you're doing. My biggest problem has been parts availability... it's getting rough out there. Cheers
Looking forward to seeing your progress on all these projects this year. Always educational and entertaining. Thanks for sharing your skills. I learn something new every time. My grandson also enjoys your videos.
So basically you've been sitting on your ass doing nothing. Lol. kidding of course. I'm always super impressed with the projects you take on and how they turn out. Thank you for the content however long it takes to produce it. I watch every chance I get. Much, much appreciate you.
Model A Tudor is my vote. But I have a suggestion for you about rusting parts. 20 years ago I restored a 1965 Plymouth. I stripped it to bare metal and I was turned on to a product called Picklex 20 to prevent flash rusting while I did the bodywork. Worked great. Simply spritz it on the metal, wait 60 seconds and wipe it off. As long as you keep the car out of the weather it will stop rust from forming for years. And it doesn’t have to be removed before painting. It’s not cheap but worth every penny. I use it on every project and usually apply it right after I sand blasted a part.
Hello, as a hands-on learner myself. Great work on the tudor sadan roof I learned a lot, and TT metal fabrication of the doors and other parts is impressive. I like yourself have a few projects and find it hard to have them all going at once. A's and AA's mostly at the moment two run and drive.
It’s good to see you back. Always something new to enjoy. The 1918 Model T truck is such a great vehicle, as is the Model A sedan and the ‘61 Ford Falcon. All interesting topics for future videos.
My vote is for the Falcon. Probably the most rare of the bunch. A Falcon 4 door of that vintage restored to that level of quality is very unusual today. Although once very common I seldom see any.
Well ---- Happy New Year to you too ----- Looks like you have 2024 all laid out ----- Now ----- what shall I do first ------ I thought there was no rust in Sunny California ----- you bring those T-Fenders up to Washington now ------ and you can almost watch them dissolve in your hands ------- Thanks for the video and letting us know what's up ------- Hope you have a Good Week and we shall see you on your next one ------- Rodney
I still thank you for the ecotech rebuild. I learned how to do it and what not to do. I also like the rest of these restorations. Thanks! I like the Model A and the Falcon. Even I am a Chevy person, I do love vintage Fords.
Hi Bro, I need your help. I'm building my version of a speedster out of 23 tall firewall body metal. I'm running a 76 Pinto engine and transmission with a 28 axle. I need the side panels that go between the firewall and front doors. Mac's discontinued them. I put their catalog on my burn pile where it belongs. I'd appreciate any help.
Sounds like a fun project. I have not yet figured out how to make those panels for the later bodies (15 and newer). When I made them for the truck, I cheated by making the door post straight up and down which made those panels a lot easier to make since they don't have to curve in at the bottom. It also makes the floor wider. If you try making then yourself, I recommend doing that.
