Cooking on a Ford Model A - Manifold Cooking! 

Yes! You can really take it to the max with some fine paint chips.

@@ModelA dont forget to garnish it with a bit of rust dust!

If that's what it takes to talk momma into approving a Model A purchase, so be it.

Good memories

@@ModelAIndeed!

Good to know. Thanks!

@@ModelA Paul, you are more gracious than my wife. When I pass one of the nuggets of useless information infesting my brain on to her I get "that" look and maybe some profanity as a bonus. Worst comes to worst, I'm pretty sure that even at my age I can outrun her.

@@ModelA Great videos Paul!

@@murraystewartj Ha ha! Well, Murray, us manly men gotta stick together, right?

@@johnnyrocket6588 Thanks

Hahahaa!!

Ha ha! You must have a bigger family then Paul.

Yes ,double the size ,two manifolds one side vegan one side meat lovers !

Thanks! This one has been in the can for a while. Glad I was finally able to get it published. I don't have any videos in the can now, so I have to get back to work!

I like to keep everyone guessing.

Did you share with the mechanics?

@@ModelA they usually took whatever was there. Don't know what happened to it.

Happy new year!!

Thank you!

That works perfectly.

Best regards to Norway!!

You could add manifold cooking to your list of hobbies!

Gracias, my friend!

Thanks, Elliott! We need to cook some grub on your Maserati when I get over there. Ha ha!

@@ModelA haha, that’s an idea!

The fire extinguisher powder will keep food from sticking to the motor.

That's what this channel is all about. It's like a mini vacation from the news.

@@ModelA We all need that this week. Thanks

I forgot to say "survivalist", too!

@@nebraskafrankcourtny yes!!

Awesome! I like the Gopherwear stuff too

Yes!!

Neat! You gonna try it now?

@@ModelA Great videos by the way. In the words of the Scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz (kinda)..."If I only had an A". I'd like to get involved in a club (will Covid ever go away?) to learn more about the cars and figure out which version fits me best (6'2"). I've heard the Tudor allows some rearward movement of the driver's seat. My goal would be to take longer trips in whatever I get, replacing my motorcycle in that role. I'm in Northern California now, but was raised in Indiana. In the '30s my uncle and a couple friends scraped together a few bucks and bought a Model A. They told their parents they were driving to Michigan (summer before their senior year in high school), but ended up in California. What could go wrong? They survived on little money, working along the way to pay for food and gas. Several times the car broke down and they repaired it and continued on, eventually returning home to worried parents but were the envy of their high school class.

@@1150migrant If you're that tall, then yes, a tudor sedan is tour best bet. Flip the seat mounts around backwards and you have the most legroom of any Model A body style.

If you try it, please do a video and share it with us!

Thanks!

Look a little familiar?? Remember when you and I did one of these together? I still think that one was the best.

@@ModelA I immediately recognized this! Maybe you could adapt the other one for this channel, it was so cool, it deserves to be seen 😀

@@BeetTheRush I think you're right. I'll ponder that for a future video!

@@ModelA 😊😊😊

After viewing the other one, it would need a lot of work. We would need to re-do the voiceovers too. I'd also have to pull it from the other channel, and that would break the links to yours. Might be best to make a brand new one from scratch. You up for the first ever collab between a food channel and a car channel?

Thanks!

Thanks, Rob! There's a warm meal for you when you open the hood...

Yep! Gonna try it?

@@ModelA You bet!

Nice! Let me know how it goes, please.

@@ModelA I dont have a Model A ford but I do have a 1921 Maxwell C- cab truck and a Willys Jeep. I will have to try my manifold cooking skills on the old Willys. I will let you know how it turns out!

They do help with cooling slightly. But, they're a pain in the neck and my cars never come close to overheating, so I didn't put them on a couple cars.

You clearly have exquisite taste. Ha ha!

Paul Shinn Yes! I only watch “A” rated cooking shows !

You got me now. I have nothing.

Paul Shinn haha I will be sending you some desert via PayPal - love your stuff

Thanks, Eugene!

Camera wife and kid

My grandma says they picked a lot of their meals on the side of the road. Mostly fruit and veggies and grains. Seldom got meat.

@@ModelA That sounds about right because people were vary frugal back then and times were hard with food in short supply during the depression! I am retired and restoring a 2 door hardtop 69 caddilac my mom bought new and you have spiked my interest in getting a model A ! Mom remembers them when she was growing up! Love your channel Paul!

You gonna try it?

@@ModelA Lol. Yes.

Please let us know how it turns out

Yep! There's always a warm meal waiting for you under my car's hood, Bren! Ha ha

Happy new year

Thanks!! Been to many GMO shows. Seen them 4 or 5 times on the USS Hornet

I'm told it was a lot more common than people think. My dad is older than this car and says people did it routinely.

@@ModelA I LOVE your channel! Thanks for all the informative videos.

Ha ha!!!!

My dream car is a 1969 Dodge Charger "General Lee". Seriously.

Hahahaa! Yessir!

Thanks! That manifold doesn't have anything on it. It was N.O.S. when I installed it MANY years ago. However, if you watch the manifold gasket video, you'll see what happened to it eventually.... Insert sad face here.

Only with your car!

It really was good.

See the headlight video from a few weeks ago There's a link on that one.

I didn't? Thought I mentioned that. Well, for these dishes, they took about a 30 minute drive. Sorry about that!

@@ModelA Maybe you did say that and I missed it. I love your videos and love that you are engaged with your audience. Just watched your latest video today. The Halloween Special. ;)

@@ModelA 4:55 You did put the amount of time that you drove on the screen but I'm not sure if you actually said it. I was watching on my phone and missed the writing on the first time through. Sometimes I listen to videos without always watching the screen. This may have been one of those times.

They were yummy!!

I bet! They looked amazing.

We should exchange "recipes"!

Not as fun as your stuff We just poked holes in whatever cans we wanted for venting and faced the holes up Makes a mess of the engine block, but it tastes great

@@kyleh3615 I tried that before. You're right- What a mess.

I tried watching the Mecum auction. Even though I have attended the Monterey Mecum in person, it just gets boring on TV unless they have the kind of cars I like. I didn't get to see any Model A's. When Tina and I were at the Monterey auction once, we arrived before they opened and got to ha g out with the crew and listen in on their pre-auction briefing. Tina walked up to Dana Mecum to say hi, and mispronounced his last name. He corrected her with a real pissed off look and walked away. It was pretty funny really. That blonde woman who closes the hoods was really weird. She has that same blank look even when you talk to her, and she doesn't say much.

@@ModelA Yes I agree ! when you get behind the scenes, the people almost always are a lot different than what they like to portray! I guess their so-called fame goes to their head! That blonde lady does act weird, maybe she is a robot! I guess I just watched for something to do, I like lots of different cars, but my favorites are really about 36 and back and especially 29-32 any brand, so ya it's hard to sit through all the high dollar muscle cars, even though I'm the right age for those. On the plus side, I noticed that the 30s cars are not as high as they were a few years ago, making it easier for someone to get into a car. Yesterday a good looking 1916 Studebaker sold for 9,000 which I thought was a bargain! The model As I saw sold were a immaculate 30 or 31 fordor deluxe with twin sidemounts. Looked like a high dollar restoration and well worth the 26,000 that it sold for. Other one was a right hand drive Victoria, that appeared in nice shape, seemed to be a real bargain at 7,000 ! Of course you still have to add on your Buyers Fee to these prices! Yup auction co. makes money on buyer and seller plus charges you for the (privilege) of bidding! No wonder they are so Arrogant! Sorry about taking so long, thanks for the response, I always enjoy your videos.

@@dejaydavisson9938 Some of the Mecum people were really nice. That floor runner guy they call the Crazy Chicken was hilarious! Most of the people who deive the cars through were interesting too. The crew you never see that drives the trucks full of equipment and do the setup and teardown are super interesting. They have that down to a science!! The way it all goes together is engineering genius. We were sitting next to a guy who bought a couple cars. He bought a Ford GT racecar for $400K and some other Shelby car for $300K. We were chatting with him and his wife like old friends not even knowing he was a bidder until that GT came up. Come to find out, he was a well known guy. We were gonna id on a Model A but when we looked at the car close up before the auction, we discovered it was a nice cosmetic resto but a loust mechanical one and that lowered what I was willing to bid. The bidding quickly went beyond my budget anyway. It ended up going to an internet bidder in Japan. Oh, that reminds me... The cars outside waiting to go over the auction block are fully on display. You can sit in them, open everything up, do whatever you want except start them. They encourage you to fully examine the car before it goes on the block. Very hands-on! After they cross the block, you're not allowed to touch them unless you won it.

@@ModelA very interesting! I'm sure it takes a lot to put on an auction, and everyone needs to get paid! Not everyone is a jerk, you are right! Sounds like you were sitting next to the millionairs next door! X ten! I would like to go to an auction and sit next to Jay Leno! Or you and your wife of course! I don't think I would ever buy a car , unless I could personally examine it or it came with a warranty, which I think probably is rare. I would want to hear the engine run!

@@dejaydavisson9938 I think you're right. Ypu do get the hear the engine run when it's time for that car to go across the auction block. The drivers stand in a line and get ha ded the keys and a card with the car number on it, then they go get the car and drive it into the line leading to the auction block.

I have a few people who think of me as RU-vid competition for some unknown reason. They automatically dislike any video I post. Don't worry about it, haters gotta hate. Doesn't bother me at all. I don't do this for the likes, I do these videos to help people.

In the video, there is a graphic that shows how long we drove. I forget how long it was.

Thanks for the tip...these look really good!

Thanks Rick! I forgot all about that

Yes! This was cooked on a tudor

That's a Crosley "Musical Chef" radio from the early 50's. It is our only kitchen timer. I also listen to news on it in the morning when making hot beverages to wake up.

@@ModelA Cool radio looked it up perfect three-minute eggs with it's wind up timer.

The timer goes up to 1 hour. It has such a nice loud DING! when it goes off, I can hear it anywhere in the house.

Now if we can get Paul to insert an infomercial at the end of his Model A video. This infomercial would show off a radio we have spotted during the regular Model A Video. :-)

@@Rottingboards You guys REALLY want to see my old radios? Are you sure???

That's what my mom taught me

I love that spiral potato video tou did!

Never tried

Super Mario in Big Band style

Yes

@@ModelA Cool! Will be looking forward to seeing the radio collection!

A few people have apparently. I am just learning!

@@ModelA Engine Chicken

I put about 10K on it last year.

@@ModelA yikes

Yikes? I have around 50K miles behind the wheel of Model A's. Feels pretty natural.

Wow

Luckily, we don't have that problem over here. Manifold cooking doesn't cause any harm to the car as long as you don't spill all over everything. The worst that ever happened is I cooked a distributor once. But it was my fault, and a 100+ degree day.

Yes!

Yay I'm cooking a stake on mine once I am able to afford one

@@TylerVogel Afford a steak, or the Model T?

@@ModelA the T

Ok, that cracked me up! I see the play on "timing tool". Ha ha!!

May I help you with personal instruction?

@@ModelA I had a Ford 29, not kept like yours mine broke every week, had no Money to keep. I don t fluent english, so it has to be slow, bat i know you can t make live only for a brasilian. I m trying to watch it ten times until i understand kkkkk

@@masporque1588 Entiendo. Lamento que solo hablo inglés. Apenas puedo hablar un poco de español. Pero mi español no es lo suficientemente bueno para intentar usarlo en un video. ¡Mis mejores deseos para ti, amigo!

@@ModelA no problem 👍quando acabar COVID 19 , venha aqui no Brasil, São Paulo, Sorocaba. Tem um dormitório para pernosal VIP
