Ford Model A Social Media Q&A #12 | Facebook, Instagram, YouTube

[@billabernathy1541]

The E.F. Johnson Viking 6N2 Thunderbolt caught my eye. Man, that's more rare than a Model A or T!!

[@michaeledwards8051]

A few points: I watched the episode rebuilding the model A because Paul was on the show. That was the first time I'd seen that show. Secondly, and in no order of importance, you two have to be the luckiest couple on the face of the planet. I enjoy so much watching your videos and I'm so captivated how it looks that you both found the other person who completes you or compliments you so well or each of you have married your best friend. I'm almost 50 and don't think I've ever found a woman who accentuates so well and I don't even think that's a good enough word to describe it. - Blessed. Lastly, although the model A is my favorite vehicle, just over 6 ft tall and large stature person, I recently found my second favorite vehicle a '70s F-series with 300ci straight six, one barrel carburetor, manual transmission rear wheel drive, and no a/c or so many other things. People who know me don't understand why I'm deengineering and removing non-essential things. Until I lose weight this vehicle is my goal to be a larger Model A. I'm changing the bed and plan to change/copy the model A slender nose front end. If I can keep losing weight, I'm getting a Model A though. I love or am fascinated by the mechanical simplicity in a world of computer-controlled transportation

[@Modeltshinn]

Wow Michael, thank you so much, you are such a sweet person 💗💕 I truly hope you find a super sweet gal to complete you 💗🙏💕 Losing weight is hard, but doable, you’ve got this!! 💪🏻🥳

I thought the upholstery guy went above and beyond - all that overnight! Amazing

[@Modeltshinn]

Yes, that was amazing how fast the worked and other than not having a window to put in it fit so perfectly!

Tina, I need to build Paul a shop vac which is safe to use vacuuming up gasoline or any flammable material. It’s a typical project for any beginning aircraft mechanic. Many times we are making sheet metal repairs inside aircraft structures where there could possibly be a potentially explosive atmosphere. (A reason we use only air powered drills etc.) At job completion, the work area must be thoroughly vacuumed, no drilling chips, no debris. An air powered vacuum cleaner is simple to build thanks to Mr Bernoulli and his laws. I assume Daryl cleans up gasoline spills with a match, burning them off. Open the garage door to let the smoke escape for safety’s sake, of course. Don’t want to be breathen no toxic fumes.

[@ModelA]

You assume correctly

News about the car transporting. I have had 3 cars transported and I found all 3 companies in the Hemming's Monthly magazine. It you go to Hemming's, and search for "transportation you will find between 25-30 advertisements. In some ads the company will talk about their specialities, {sports cars, classic cars, etc.}. Then a phone call or filling out a form with offer you a time line's, distance & costs and if you want Open & Enclosed. One note, it is BEST to use a transportation company that keeps your car in the truck. Some do and some don't. Best of luck.

Looking forward to buying my first Model A. I just moved near Applegate, CA and will start looking for one this summer.

[@Modeltshinn]

That sounds like a fun summer to come!! 💕

[@gregfolkers3770]

Paul. Funny story. When I bought my A and had to get it shipped. I googled it and requested a quote. I received texts and calls for about a week. Literally bout 50 plus. I ended up borrowing a trailer. It was pretty cool cuz I got a lot of waves in rest areas, gas stations and on the road. Pretty fun. Both of you take care.

[@Modeltshinn]

That’s an awesome story 💕

Well, you guys have produced another fine video for us Model A enthusiasts! Thanks for answering more questions for us. Hey Paul! kinda hard to tell, but is that a Johnson Viking 6-N-2 in the background-sitting on the shelf? Don't know why my eye was drawn to that. LOL!! Cheers and 73 to you both! de Benton w4jba

Thank you Todd 💗

[@mr_paw_t]

thumbs up.

[@mafcawebmaster4237]

Since the Model A's fender and headlight were close to the camera, the camera focused on it instead of on you. Paul and Tina were slightly out of focus the whole time, but that didn't detract from the fun of the video. Good job, guys.

[@Modeltshinn]

Lol, I had a feeling, darn 😂 It’s also possibly due to having to use low resolution setting to upload this video, my phone is running out of room. Thank you and have a great day! 💗

[@gregg413]

@@Modeltshinn Yeah - I could tell the video was uploaded in low resolution. Anyway, we watch the channel for the excellent Model A information, not to see a Hollywood quality production.

[@myrlstone8904]

I’ve come across A wheel hubs where someone at some time has pushed the wheel studs out, resulting in over sizing the holes in the hub. Their solution was to weld the new studs in. Bad, Really bad. Not something which one wants to discover on an A which they may have recently purchased.

[@Modeltshinn]

Wow, ya sounds dangerous

[@myrlstone8904]

Folks at Branttons were familiar with the dodge. They’ve seen it done more often than once. I expect on hub, drum assemblies which they’ve received for rebuild. Good only for carrying to the metal recycling dumpster bin.

[@deanjernstrom3760]

Like I've said in the past,we watch mainly because of your honesty.Thank you.

[@Modeltshinn]

Thank you Dean 💗

[@jameswagner9356]

Note: I inquired with Jeff at Brattons about rebuilding a steering box. They replied that they no longer offer that service any longer. So I opted to rebuild a 2 tooth I got at the swap meet at Gilmore.

[@Modeltshinn]

Oh wow, that’s good to know, thanks for letting us know 💕 You’ve got this!!

[@williamforbes5826]

So the camera focused on the headlamp in the foreground instead of you guys...and I thought it was just my watery eyes 👀!

[@Modeltshinn]

Ya….sometimes you have learning moments 😂💗

[@Dan-qy1rg]

Yeah, sounds like Sean Winograd is the guy to turn to in that situation. Awesome, you got Gandolf driving, that's great! The radius ball issue is interesting, does heavy use or abuse contribute to the wear, like hard shifting or rough road conditions? Lots of good questions and great answers, loved it. Thanks Model T and Paul, have a great day!

Great question, I’ll ask Paul what he thinks 💗 thank you and have a great rest of the week!
