Thankyou. What a gem of a car.

@flivverchannel 3 месяца назад

It's a pretty neat car. I am lucky that it joined our family :)

@Peter-jo3wt 8 месяцев назад

I'm in the process of putting a 1927 on the road. I really enjoyed your walk around.

@flivverchannel 8 месяцев назад

Glad you liked it. Feel free to ask any questions you may have.

@allaboutelectric6134 Год назад

Those coil boxes!!! 🤩

@flivverchannel Год назад

Aren't they something? One of the most compelling features of the Model T, IMO

@rustyrobinson8027 Год назад

Thanks

@flivverchannel Год назад

My pleasure. Glad you liked it.

Man, I love Model T's. I didn't really care either way, until I saw Scott's!

@flivverchannel Год назад

Thanks for watching. Ts are special.

this is very scare my cat is sad

@davidhjortnaes2000 Год назад

I very much appreciate that you are not playing some god awful music in the background, and instead of continuous banter you stop and have silence while displaying parts of the car. What is hanging behind the dash? Well done. Thank you.

@flivverchannel Год назад

Thank you for watching. Behind the dash, is and unfinished, hopefully not too prominent, dual instrument cluster, for a couple of gauges to monitor engine and electrical status. Yet another unfinished piece of the puzzle.

Parabéns aqui do Brasil.

Hello from Canada. Welcome!

@shedbythetracks Год назад

Man! that's a great car! It's always a temptation to "improve" things but I think you have a great feel for what should be done and what should be left alone. All that's left to do now is stop by and give me a ride! 😆 Cheers

@flivverchannel Год назад

Thanks R.

Nice job maintaining a truly historic car. I think those 30-31 wheels are designed to be supported by a brake drum.

@flivverchannel Год назад

Thanks for watching. I'm working on a video all about the decision to try the Model A wheels on the T. I will dive into the brake drum support issue...

@russelmaclean4416 Год назад

Sorry the color wasn't forest green it was Balsom Green. Also I thinned it roughly 25% and used automotive paint reducer instead of paint thinner. Medium reducer was about right for the ambient temperature at the time

@flivverchannel Год назад

Thanks for all the info. I have some painting to do...so this is helpful!

@caddyman7725 Год назад

Real nice! I have a ‘26 Roadster as well. I also have a ‘28 Sport Coupe that is that same color. It was restored that way, but I’m not sure that’s stock.

@flivverchannel Год назад

I believe Ford Channel Green continued into Model A production.

@russelmaclean4416 Год назад

Great video. Nice to see your car close up. If you want paint for touch up take a chip of your paint about the size if a postage stamp to Home Hardware. They can scan it and give you a perfect match with their Beauty Tone Rust paint in gloss, semi gloss or flat. I took in the color chip for model A Ford Forest Green. Painted a test piece then when dry sprayed a couple coats of automotive clear. Thus protects it from UV rays and won't get chalky. After it dried i put the chip down on the paint. Perfect match. Hung it outside all winter and no change. Should last ok on vehicles used in summer. We're not out in salt and snow and these cars are not left out year round . A little less money than automotive paint.

@flivverchannel Год назад

That's a fantastic option. Thanks!

@alexkalish8288 Год назад

You have a really nice, original late model T. The Model A wheels look a bit strange but i'm sure they drive better than the originals. Do you know anyone selling model T body plans ? I'm restoring a 1917 and am at that stage ... nothing in Lang's or Snyder but kits. Cheers !

@flivverchannel Год назад

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "body plans". Do you mean drawings and patterns for making your own body parts?

@michaellong6052 Год назад

You also have diamond runningboards, which is a pick up item

@flivverchannel Год назад

Wow! Thanks for tellibg me that. That settles it. It was a pickup originally! Thank you.

@donniebrown-mv7hb Год назад

All 26-27 cars and pickups had the same diamond running boards. The only difference is early 26 boards had large Ford script and late 26 and 27 had small Ford script.

@flivverchannel Год назад

@@donniebrown-mv7hb good to know. So the mystery remains... Was it originally a pickup?

@brandtmagolon454 Год назад

Are they early model a wheels?

@flivverchannel Год назад

1931 Model A wheels. I'm working on a video about them

@brandtmagolon454 Год назад

My grandfathers has a bar going across his head lights on his 26 was that bar an option?

@flivverchannel Год назад

The headlight bar was added to the production car later in 1926. All 1927 cars had one too. It was also a popular accessory. I would like one...

@donniebrown-mv7hb Год назад

The early 26 car and pickups had "footed" headlights and no bar. Then very late 26 changed to headlights mounted to a bar. There are accessory bars made that fit under the "footed" headlights. I have a extra accessory bar if you want to add the bar to your car car. car. car.

@flivverchannel Год назад

@@donniebrown-mv7hb I might be interested in that headlight bar. Please email me flivverchannel@gmail.com
