[@johnahern1077]

This is one high quality top shelf operation. Thanks for sharing.

[@claytoresto]

Glad you like it!

[@refiii9499]

So excited for this restoration! This looks like it will be a quality build when done. Can’t wait for more.

[@claytoresto]

Stay tuned, much more to come.

[@waynemiracle8928]

I’m very excited to see the progression of this Model A project. Also to see it performed by a excellent restorer! I plan to learn a lot from this series.

[@claytoresto]

Stay tuned. A new episode is released every Friday.

[@socrates2890]

This is so informative, Mark! Thank you for doing this series & starting with a car that's not too complicated!

[@claytoresto]

Glad you liked it!

[@CindyJohnDuke]

I have a 29 Model A and love it. Excited to see this series!

[@claytoresto]

Stay tuned. Much more to come.

[@kapekodbob]

Can't wait for the next vid. You are not lazy, practical.

[@claytoresto]

Thanks, will be an upload at least once a week, usually on Fridays.

[@keithgarland3404]

fantastic, looking forward to the next episode, thanks for recording it all for us.

[@claytoresto]

Our pleasure!

[@scotte2815]

have you seen the video of the 1910 Elmore? THAT video left you wanting more

[@Adam5130A]

Can't wait for the next part!

[@claytoresto]

Stay tuned. A new release every week.

[@kimchipig]

I'm really glad to see you posting your sublime videos. This is really interesting because a 500 hp motor in Camaro is boring money flinging. This is real skill. If you want to see some equally good stuff, try Coldwar Motors.

[@mattdizzy5453]

Really enjoy these videos, I have been a car guy since I was a little kid, I have a 1919 Model T and a 1958 Apache. I want to learn more about metal repair and fab. Thanks

[@claytoresto]

Glad you like them!

[@KeithFinkFamilyFarm]

Nice. Looking forward to seeing the marriage of metal and wood. I have a 1933 International truck that needs a cab. Original was wood sheathed with metal. I have no idea how they did that, so I need to learn! Thanks for the teaching.

[@claytoresto]

My pleasure

[@pappabob29]

Thanks for all the good info on the blasting products !!! That Model A body looked SO MUCH BETTER after blasting !!! Looking forward to seeing the metal work !!! Two "B" motors hug?? Pretty "LUCKY" !!! Seen pictures of "Berts". Looks like "Heaven" !! ;o)

[@claytoresto]

It is and many years ago I used to own 1/3 of it. Steve has done great things with it.

[@shawnmrfixitlee6478]

WOW , I so ENJOYED ! Great share , Can't wait for EP 3 ..Thanks

[@claytoresto]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@MikeLoveBuns]

Enjoy watching restored 1931 Ford Model A sedan 🚘😀🚗😘 Mike from Missouri

[@claytoresto]

Thanks for watching.

[@growingknowledge]

Nice video, what a workshop ! Wish I could come exchange labour for learning the tricks of the trade. Very much looking forward to the journey with the car. Thank you.

[@claytoresto]

Thanks for watching!

[@myredute]

You've got the easiest job on one of the hardest cars Ford ever built. The mere fact you had all the gear & even a lifting crane to pick it up off the trailer is streets ahead of what the average restorer has. I should know because I completely restored a show winning '31 Slant Briggs Town Sedan 160B here in Australia, that turned out to be a $100,000 car. Took 2 years, but it was worth it!

[@claytoresto]

We are spoiled with all this great equipment. But I restored hundreds of cars without it.

[@blurrrrrr44]

That sheetmetal is in such good shape.

[@claytoresto]

If you could of only run your hand over it. You would of cried. This cars was pure abuse by man. Nature really did very little harm to it.

[@joesixpack7551]

Awesome - learning quite a bit. Thanks!

[@claytoresto]

Glad to hear it!

[@MrSpad007]

Nice work, well done. I spent some time going to Berts Early Ford a long time ago. with my friend Mr.T., I know where there are a few free antique car parts, not 4 blocks from Blast Tech.

[@claytoresto]

Thanks for the info! I need a block for the next Model A project.

[@fredkaminski6138]

😍 Love it!

[@claytoresto]

Thank you! 😊

[@clydecessna737]

I love the idea that there are cars out there fixed together by nails. Even more extraordinary is that at the RAF Museum in England there is an aircraft held together by nails (forget the type, sorry).

[@claytoresto]

Most all the cars we get to restore are built this way. It was a low production technique. When they built cars in low numbers, they could not afford the dies to make them all steel.

[@davidw2569]

Great series!!!

[@claytoresto]

There is more to come. Stay tuned there will be at least a new release every week.

[@scotte2815]

Model A cars are cool, and I am interested (somewhat) in this project BUT I am still waiting for more on that 1910 Elmore. That is a rare and very unusual car with a very different engine.

[@claytoresto]

Coming soon! But I don't have a lot of film on it. Maybe 1 episode Wirth is all.

[@gregmaggielipscomb9246]

Super Kool fellas!

[@davidb0126a]

Great work!

[@claytoresto]

Thanks!

[@johnlundberg5705]

Leapin Lizards and holy kamoley. Nice shop.

[@claytoresto]

Thanks

[@MossMini]

Love it.!!

[@claytoresto]

Thanks

[@bigredc222]

Nice very old 14" Delta bandsaw, is the drill press next to it a Walker-Turner?

[@claytoresto]

I'll have to check it out.

[@bgdavenport]

I'm confused. Are you a private guy with one helluva workshop system or are you a company that caters to customers?

[@claytoresto]

Both. I have some great customer and I have lots of my own projects too.

[@clearlake3492]

Did I hear wrong? Did you say that you might make a hot rod out of the car? I hope not...

[@claytoresto]

No hot rod or rat rod for me. I am a history guy and I like them back to original (within reason)

[@clearlake3492]

@@claytoresto That's good to hear. Talking about hearing, I think I better get my own checked out...

[@MrLeoBL]

you really do great work, but please don't say it's easy...

[@BoxcarsGarage]

Can't believe they gave you that "Piece of Shit" lol..... In my world... well.... anyway.

[@claytoresto]

I can only say it has sentimental value
