In this video we will be painting the frame and assembling the front suspension. I will also explain how we press in bushings and ream king pin bushings. #restoration #car Email: johnsclunkercars@gmail.com
Please take this comment seriously. I was bored today and wasted most of my time watching You Tube and You Tube provided me with videos on rebuilding real Model T's. (I have a 23-25 Model TT I am slowly putting together but with a V 8 60 flathead) You Tube also presented me with videos of people your age TRYING to build the various releases of the two in one 1925 Model T Ford kit first released about 1963. Never have I heard anyone state the kits were "complicated", until today on You Tube. These younger people know nothing about the real cars (one claiming the coupes and sedans had metal roofs, not cloth) and they come down on anyone who points out their errors. What happened in this World, or at least the States, they we have Baby Boomers with knowledge of vintage cars while VERY FEW of the following generations even bother to look at cars older then 2010? Model T's were more then automobiles, they helped make the U.S. what itis (maybe that's the problem?). I will openly admit I should not try to rebuild a Model T engine because of all the cutter pins and castle nuts, etc. that had been phased out over the decades. But I can build engines manufactured into the 2000's with all their quirks. But you and a handful of others your age are knowledgeable OF and willing to work ON Model T's applying the standards of their day. At least some of you are preserving "knowledge" of what it might have really been like back then. And I repeat, Model T's are more then "old cars" as they represent a great deal of the history people of that time period lived through. THANK YOU!
Good job on the video. I bought a 27 touring a couple days ago and hopefully getting it redone also. My wheels are too rough to use so hoping to find some used ones somewhere.
Im rebuilding a 1926 T Roadster. It was apart when I bought and Im having trouble finding anything to show me how it goes together. Im ready to install the body but can't find anything to show the sequence. I'm hoping that you have more videos. So far I found 1 2 and 3.
On the Model T my family is working on we removed the fenders, running boards, and mud guards before we removed the 6 bolts to remove the cab portion. My 1926 is a coupe.
Hi John - just wanted to drop you a line and say thank you so much for filming this project! I love model Ts of all types and always nice to see techniques and ideas shared. Excellent work so far and I will definitely be following right along! Cheers.
6:50 I can make out "GOMERY WARD" and assuming your tap and die kit from your great grandfather came from Montgomery Ward and company :) I wouldn't be surprised.
Nice progress. Your grandfather's reamer set looks like it was distributed by a department store called Montgomery Ward, sort of like Sears back in the day.
Hello from Russia! Good project! Tell me please, what paint did you use for the leaf springs? I have never heard about graphite paint. Thank you and good luck!
Hello thanks for watching! Yes it is a graphite based paint that can be found in hardware stores here in the US. It is pricey stuff but it helps with the squeaks from leaf springs and it is quite durable.
