Driving the Model T to a Swap Meet (50 Mile Trip) 

You make a very excellent point Jessica, i had reply to you months ago however i forgot to press send, instead only "closed" the comment so it was "lost". Huh! But i well remember this, and what i had said back when.. and because it keeps coming to mind? I am here again to state this verbatim, or best i can and better. Here we go; Excellent point! The people who build this car could never imagined this, and had we told them about cellular technology, they would of thought of us as crazy. So it is, as i see our future, not to far from now...space traveling to other planets, with the help and technology of an advanced race. Who visit and share their space technology freely. Openly and take us on to journeys far far way from here to galaxies light years away. As much as we couldn't even imagine this.. And may i add, no faith or belief will be required. Just as hand held cellular technology today is common, to see these devises slip' sliding around on this bench of an very old car. As if, it is nothing. Faith then as it will be now, will happen regardless of our limited beliefs. A very bright and promising future, despite anyone who would hope to stop it. They simply can't, nor ever will..in my own estimation. I said. And what reminds me of this, is a FB post from Wun Feather i will link bellow. As i will link this post and video to his page, with the utmost simplicity. So thanks for being here. And a wonderful thanks to wonder of work and success of this channel. It was such a pleasure to had followed all the videos, which climaxed to the above cognition, thanks to Jessica. And to God, whom inspired me to come back again, and again.. At first when i had lost the comm i "felt it must not have been meant to be" i wasn't wrong. I wasn't quite as ready maybe. Until now, and with Wun Feather. I think this cycle is complete. And done. m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0nBQDd4KAVmM8UQpJq76oppRvcQbKLahahhcbeBT8NCVWi8BdxrrFKALTvFCscLejl&id=100009411195629

It’s a 360 degree camera. So it films everything all the time. Then you select the view when editing the video👍

@@Jerod_Helt That's very cool. I know a lot about Old Fords; guess I know very little about video cameras. You're very good with the editing, for sure.

Thanks for the comment. I think I drove the farthest. The camera is a 360 degree camera. You can pick your view and move it around when editing the video👍

Wild!

It does open👍

Once I start moving I release the parking brake all the way forward then I just use the “clutch pedal” to hold the car in neutral when coming to a stop. I only pull the parking brake handle back when I park the car. The video linked below goes into more detail on how to drive the car.

It’s not hard to turn. But then again the tires are not very wide

Around 30 mph👍

@@Jerod_Helt Thanks so much. Felt 30 mph is about right for a Model T. Looked like you might be going faster. Absolutely loved your video. Thanks so incredibly much for responding. Much appreciated

I’m not sure on the gas mileage, I mostly drive it around the neighborhood

@@Jerod_Helt cool I just started watching the build series

omg thank u for liking my comment ! u built that model t better than I ever could!

It’s a 360 degree camera. It films everything and you pick the view point in editing

@@Jerod_Helt ohh sweet!

Snyders and chaffins 👍

Top speed is about 27mph

No seat belts. You’re only required to have the safety equipment that came with the car. So since they didn’t come with seat belts it’s legal to drive without them.

About 30 mph👍

It’s a 360 degree camera 👍

Rather than use the handbrake I just hold the clutch pedal in the middle for neutral.

@@Jerod_Helt Oh I see!

I hit 37mph once going down hill👍

No

I am👍

@@Jerod_Helt So it is my understanding that the coils are off once you switch to magneto. They aren't needed.

@@joealbert7773 no, the coils are always needed. But the coils either get power from the battery or the magneto.

@@Jerod_Helt Thanks, I didn't know that.

Yes, a women did try to buy it, but it’s not for sale👍

Thanks! I'm not sure how many hours it took, but It was a lot.
