Great video, Paul! When I bought my 29 Model A Roadster, I was sold on the rumble seat! Spent 11k, she leaks oil, she has rust on the body, paint on the engine is pealing, several replaced parts that aren't original, but damn it, I love her. My wife and boy ride in the rumble seat and we cruise down the back roads here in Lancaster County PA, waving at the Amish and English who look with big smiles on their faces! This car is probable only worth 5k-10k to a avid Model A enthusiast, but I wouldn't sell it for 100k. It's my dream car, and you can put a price tag on the joy it's brought our little family for the last 3 years! And the best part about Model A, (at least mine) is that I always have a project. Whether it'd cleaning out the carburetor, adjusting the distributor, changing the fluids, greasing, aligning the front end, adjusting the brakes, touching up paint, you name it! my roadster is always a work in progress and it brings me so much satisfaction tinkering with it, and making just how I like it! Thanks for all the videos, Paul. Several of your tips and how-to videos have helped with some of my cars projects.

It's got most of its body parts aside from the back of the cab. It had a bed but the owner sold it. Otherwise, its all there. The cowl may be off of a 1926 Model T, based on appearance. The whole thing is $3500.

So we watched your videos, and we thought... Why not, let's give it a try. So we got our 1929 Tudor. It had an older restoration, but it needed work especially in the carburation department, it ran so bad it once blowedup the muffler clear open. The fan was broken, the timing was horrible, it had no power. So we watched your videos, and re-watched them. We want to thank you for the immense service you do for the Model A community. Without you we would have never got into car collecting, and we would have no clue how to fix a Model A. Now we have several cars, a very eclectic collection the includes a 29 Model A, a Ferrari, a Suzuki Samurai, a Bell Air and more on the way. After applying all your recommended fixes, we just took our model A for its first big trip. We drove it 84 miles, it ran on the highway at 60 MPH with no trouble at all, smooth, and boy was it fun. Thank you again. We made a video of our adventure, if you are interested it is on our channel. As I say in the video if you were not so far away I would send you my car and ask you to send it back when you thought it was perfect, because I will never know ail, you do. Cheers and thank you.

You know what Model A to buy?! A Model A replica that is made a kitcar using modern everything, and most importantly with an electric motor drivetrain. None of that 100 years old crap. When it was new, a model A tudor sedan was like 500 usd (that would be roughly 1 full year of minimum wage at that time). So in today's money, brand new, it was like 15.000 usd. If you find one in ok condition for 1.000 bucks, then you buy it, if not don't waste your money on some junk pile. If you're gonna spend at least be smart about it and enjoy the feeling but keep the modern comfort.

I am told that early 1931 Model As came with a flat firewall, but later in the year they came with an indented firewall. I'm looking at a car with a "hybrid" indentation of sorts. It looks like a flat firewall that was re-stamped to make an indentation, but it's not teardrop shaped; it's more round-ish. Disaster or factory hack? I was told by someone that during the transition, Henry Ford stamped the regular ones. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Paul, how’s it going. I have a question. I’ve been out of town since august 20th and just got back. Model a hasn’t been started since august 15th. What should be the first thing I do before trying to start it?

@@ModelA I just started it earlier today, and I lubed it. It seems to be running a little rich. I am on the quest why it’s running rich.

I don't know absolute numbers, but I see them all the time, so guessing not very rare.

Paul, at 11:36 in the video there is something to the left of the body block that is clipped on (to a crossmember?). What is it?

It's the vent tube from the Mitchell overdrive.

Another great video Paul. I wish the Model A was plentiful and (relatively) inexpensive here in Australia. They aren’t either. Home renovations are delaying my purchase of one. Anyway, I just live the Model A life vicariously through you and Adrian at Astra Werke. 😜

When he showed the underside and it looks cleaner than my 2022 car I know maybe I’m not the right person to own a hundred year old car.

You didn't mention about the roof. Is it some kind of fabric? No problems there?

I had to leave a lot of obvious things out for time. The roof is vinyl and it's pretty obvious if it is good or bad, so it didn't make the cut. Thanks!

My Dads first car was a 1931 Model A, he bought it in 1950 and drove it for two years. 🙂
