Attempting to get this 1930 Model A sedan to run and drive again.

[@dayslife]

90 years old , runs and drives, that's a golden time capsule Brent , thanks for sharing ... i doubt that one day in the next century , someone will see that with todays cars ...

[@EdOfTheNorth]

What a beauty! She brings back so many memories. Back in the late 60's you could pick up what today we call a barn find for $5.00 and a lot of us used to spend our days doing exactly what you guys did in this video just to have some fun and cheap transportation. Back then at .50 cents per hour that was a day's pay to play. Thanks for taking us along guys. A very enjoyable video.

[@sl5303]

Bent you give me chills and at the same time tears today. I see my father working on the same car again what a great experience and I have never seen two guys smile so much Thank you for sharing with us

[@CSmith-oz4wp]

This is what friends do, help out your buddy when he calls. You’re a good friend Brent.

[@jimbojptx]

I had a 1930 4 door Chevrolet sedan that I restored and got to enjoy and about 6 yrs ago I picked up a 1930 model A pickup truck and we restored it and had fun with it. good work guys

[@astravanmk2]

Awesome! It’s amazing how low those early motors idle down. Nice to see it going down the road.

[@williampolfus6975]

In 1970 I passed my driver's license test in my dad's 1930 model A coupe, I think the testing guy was just enjoying riding around in the car, and didn't have me do much other than drive around the driving course. I guess he thought if I could start and drive the car I should have no problem with a modern car.

[@dispatch444]

A definite way to make sure you kept under the speed limit lol.

[@terrencebuller7676]

Hello Brent, what a nice A. Really great condition and running as well. Awesome find. 👌 Would like to see it again when your buddy has it restored. Take care 👍

[@tedhewitt4299]

It is a 1930. It has short aprons spot welded to the front fenders , a heart shape instrument panel & a 30 grill shell.

[@kiwijeff3964]

31's also had a dimple for the fuel filter on the firewall, this 30 don't.

[@royvanzant5811]

Early 31's did not have dimple in firewall!

[@tedhewitt4299]

Normally you need to open the gas valve a turn to start. That is the choke rod. Good job fellas. Nice to see another one running again.

[@GearheadStew]

Love the old A's and T's, such a cool piece of automotive history!

[@theodoreharper4565]

Thank you guys so much for the memories of familes and friends. My dad and I laughed and enjoyed the simply things. Thats how we became mechanics and engineers today. Plus knew how to use logics to solve problems.

[@terryeustice5399]

Pretty easy fix. Fire and the fuel. Got it going. And a maiden voyage. Great video Brent. 💯

[@Telephony954]

What a sweet ride. Who among us wouldn't have enjoyed that ride. Be well.

[@milsonfialho2725]

The best part of this video is on 25:07 when the engine fires up and the smile of the driver and the thumbs up of the mecanic showing up. Congratulations on a job well done

[@flyingmachinecustomparts8227]

Cool beans...every one doesn't have a talent for engines like u Brent. And great to have pals like u sir. Good job

[@crowetrucking]

This one brought a big smile to my face.

[@craigsowers8456]

The genuine joy on your face mon ami ... so worth it. Nice break vid !!!

[@garyhughes9199]

That was fun. Mine was in a barn for 60 years, think I'll give her a kick.

[@craigbowley6783]

What a beautiful car. You don't find em like that very often. Most of the time they've been chopped and hot rodded. It's cool to see an all original one like that.

[@markstack2309]

Excellent the mad scientist is in the house super cool 😎

[@loucinci3922]

Nice job getting her going again. Thanks for sharing

[@ghouliesgarage3922]

Well that was certainly a fun Sunday treat Thanks Brent. Those things just go

[@derekpirie9188]

I have a 1928 Phaeton, that has been in our Family since 1959 and my Brother has a 1930 Tudor, same as this one. Good to see that the Model A's are being found and put back onto the road. Greetings from Durban, South Africa.

[@jameslewry2950]

G,day mate, this is what I like about your part of the world, the old iron and cars, are still around. Here in Australia, the old girl would have been scraped, eighty years ago. Mate, hang on to your history, because when it's gone it's gone, I know very well. Hooroo my mate se ya later

[@deanbrunner261]

Lost a lot of the older one during Wll that got sold for the war machines

[@jameslewry2950]

G,day mate ,you are right, spot on cobber. Our prime minister, was called, pig iron Bob, the government sold all the scrap to Japan before the war. Then they shoot it back at us. Australians, don't hold grudges, over a blue. Japan apologies to us in a would wide broadcast. It takes a very big man to do that. We are square with the Japanese people. Hooroo cobber se ya later.

[@Bolero5757]

Nice to see old car runing again, good work, regards from Sweden

[@jesscourt9068]

Smiles per miles nothing better. It is what friends do. Great video.

[@robbieautrey3158]

Wow how cool was that, awful nice of you to go and help that guy get that Model A started Brent. Sure looked awesome going down the road, nice drone shots..

[@Crullie]

So good to see a model A back on the road. 👍

[@dwebster50]

Now that is a beauty. The drone shot of the car going down a winter Manitoba road , is so Cool 🛞🇨🇦

[@rudylerma3042]

I have a 1931 Tudor Sedan and have a lot of fun driving it , I hope you keep it original! Enjoy!!!

[@frankmcnab522]

It’s really refreshing to know you are not only a great artisan but a real person who responds to his fan base thanks and keep on rocking dude

[@HalfassKustoms]

Haha thanks

[@flattankjourney6962]

Cool car! Great to see a couple of mates working on a car and then driving it. Snow and all!

[@josephacerra5987]

Thanks for sharing I miss doing this stuff so much . Puts a Smile on my face I used a magnet on the gas tank it grabbed all the rust

[@stanleymartin1613]

Pretty neat old rig. That was cool to see. Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed watching ✌️ 😎

[@gerryharris2240]

That’s one sweet ride Good job Brent .Keep up the good work

[@herbgreen3599]

Nice little car, I have a 31 and really enjoy it

[@allanimalstaxi]

Great video, very educational on everything you to know about trouble shooting starting a Model A or early Ford car or truck. I just never stop learning watching your videos. You made made your friend one happy guy and what a find he found, solid car. Great drone work also, take care my friend

[@jorgeb9715]

Not only the relic runs but those tires hold air,,nice it rides great it needs a freshen up,,paint refurbish wheels,,rubber and time for cruising

[@gerryhartung736]

The hole in pass floorboard is for the manifold heater that bolts on to exhaust. Basically a rectangle cast-iron tube the wind would blow thru when moving. Closing gate inside firewall. On our friends we put a tin shingle with bent over edges that would slip over flange front of heater for summer, shutting down any heat entering interior. This vid brought back memories of my 31 I traded for in 1962.

[@thedr4549]

WOW Brent, that was incredible! And the last 5 minutes was more like a wonderful music video! Just Beautiful! THANK YOU!

[@jimmydeeson9037]

don't forget the lead additive when using unleaded gas. Awesome barn find and great to see it running and driving. Thanks Brent for the video!

[@timnewman1172]

The A was from before lead was used regularly in gasoline, I'd ads a couple oz's of Marvel Mystery Oil to a full tank & run with it...

[@markbrown6236]

Great video, love the original survivor cars.

[@johnnyk4551]

Awesome! You guys cruising in that beauty made me really smile. Cool video!

[@carldean7347]

Great video, I love seeing these old girls driving down the road.

[@haroldgetchelljr.4031]

That Ford is real nice shape….no rust nice video

[@Bertuslouw76]

Now you know how motoring was a hundred years ago. All the work you did was a routine process for people back in that era. It was also a common sight to see a broken down vehicle next to the road.

[@laserbeam002]

I love to see these old vehicles preserved/rescued. There obviously are only a certain number left so please take good care of it. Thank you for posting.

[@MrGixxer1300r]

For such a old car it looks pretty complete, and fuctional. The motor sounded real good. NIce find. Thanks for sharing this with us Brent.

[@Rosskenpo1]

Model A's are a ton of fun! I have a 1928 ccpu that I've been working on and driving for the past couple of years. A lot of the rattling can be sorted out, steering 2 tooth box rebuilt, and they become a real blast to drive!

[@jesterr7133]

It is amazing how well those older vehicles were made. I met a guy a few years ago that had a daily driver Model A that was nearly 100% original. It had been in his family since it was new, and had never had a single part replaced on it. It blew my mind. It still had the factory plugs and wires. It was the most original of that age that I have ever seen, and this guy drove it regularly. I didn't believe him when he originally told me that, so he invited me to inspect it. He made a believer out of me.

[@BRI33NOR]

Runs good, no smoke.

[@ipaddlemyowncanoe.7441]

That was a sweet old ride. It's amazing is that old and it's still runs. Good job. He did a great job on it. 👍👍🇨🇦🙂

[@goosecreeksouth9327]

That's cool almost 100 years old and still running and driving

[@robertordewald8678]

Thanks for the video. While I worked on many of these cars and many others of this vintage I've never driven one. Maybe someday soon! Thanks for the video I enjoy the whole bunch and always your friend Bob from Virginia USA

[@brianhughes4206]

that is truly awesome. love seeing those old cars run agian

[@davidfleishman2275]

Great Old Time Revival Brent.Like your vast experince on the old stuff.Lost art there.

Always wanted a Ford Model A roadster pickup. Henry Ford was an amazing man. Those zone shots are so cool. Looks like the 1930s.

Nice job bringing her back to life. I love the model a I have 3 off them.

Gotta love it! Nice little change of pace, great video, and thank you! As always, all the best and God bless! Can't wait to see what's around the corner.

[@briankinnear7461]

A very cool piece of history. So great to see you 2 tooling around in it. Must be very exciting for your friend. So simple to get those old flatties running....spark and gas. Thanks for sharing. Be safe and stay well.

That's a cool car. glad you got it running and driving.

[@randybourdon2791]

Great condition considering the age of the vehicle. Way to go!

[@unitedurbanwarriorsociety8286]

Back in 1992 I bought a 29 model a tudor sedan out of a wrecking yard It had been kept under a canvas for almost 30-year or so. I started up after some TLC. The parts for these are common OEM or aftermarket. They are fun to build, you will need to box the frame if you upgrade to a small block. I put a Stroked 302 in mine and a ford 9-inch read end. Even the wire harness is available. They are cheaper to modernize then to keep OEM.

[@bombardier3qtrlbpsi]

Great job thanks for sharing the start up.👍

[@BrettRSutherland]

You might be missing that the mixture is controlled by turning the choke rod .....

[@oacumulador]

Great helping friend you are!!

[@soeprijo]

Be strong Brent ,God bless you because you had always give all of your subscribers known and being happy with your laughs and action.

[@retiredbutnotdead9929]

And she runs and drives, maybe not like it was new, but the old gal lives still. A great video with a happy ending😏

[@ModelARickLasCruces]

From what I can see (radiator shell, running board split splash aprons, and oval instrument panel), this Standard Tudor was built between June and December 1930. Looks great!

[@ModelARickLasCruces]

On second glance, it has the earlier instrument panel and oval speedo, so it's a January - June 1930 Tudor. And that stripe one around the instrument panel was not original to standard tudors.

[@richardbauer3327]

@@ModelARickLasCruces Glad to know that there are guys still alive that know Henry's Lady.

[@garylamb4777]

Awesome friend

[@rscruiser3533]

The Sedan looked pretty good --- could not see any bad rust anywhere --- Did he have a 12V. battery in there? Sure turned over very fast for a 6V. --- Your countryside always looks so good. ---- Thank you for the trip ---- Rodney

[@HalfassKustoms]

Yeah he converted it over to 12 volt

[@edwardesty4951]

It's sad to see them changed to 12v when just dropping in an 8 volt battery gives the same result without changing anything else .

[@jerryking2418]

Great job. Nice piece of American history.

I just love seeing those old cars back on the road again. I would so love to have one, they're just always way too far out of my price range.

that choke knob is also the high speed jet adjustment for the driver on the road.clockwise for lean and counter clockwise for rich.

[@frasermacdougall7610]

Nice Model A. Looks great going down the road, only thing missing is the pin-stripe suits and Felt hats and maybe a machine gun or two. :)

[@jamesfairbairn1588]

What a great car. They sure don’t make them like they used to. They best part is you didn’t need any fancy fandangled equipment. Another great video thanks for sharing.

[@johnb5519]

That was a lot of fun to watch. Can you imagine back when they came out, there probably weren't any around them parts of the country, and most everyone around there would have still been using horses.

[@danesderelicts]

😮it's not a model T! There were lots of car manufacturers in 1930!

[@johnb5519]

Who said it was a model T? The title says model A.@@danesderelicts

[@danesderelicts]

@@johnb5519 I was referring to your comment. When the model T first came out it was a pretty rare sight. By the time the model A came around cars were alot more popular. Horses and buggy days were done.

[@johnb5519]

I guess so, but out in the country, and even in the cities, they still used horses for deliveries.@@danesderelicts

[@gerryhartung736]

The hand throttle is an early version of cruise control! Had a 31 5 window coupe set the spark advance, got on the hwy to Santa Ana cal, set the cruise control ....and away we go......

[@kingtut5923]

It's amazing something 70 years old can still make a man smile

[@79tazman]

I bought a model T that sat out in a persons front yard as yard art for over 10 years and I has less hassle getting the engine running then that car all I did was put a cap full of ATF in every cylinder and cranked it over a bit put the plugs back in filled the gas line with fuel and it fired right up and ran it was lots of smoke from the ATF but it was like it was parked and ran the day before but it sat out in the open for many years. I could not believe it ran so good for being a rusty old piece of yard art.

[@ricknethery2441]

Love that Model A!

[@RichieCat4223]

12:27 Yes the flywheel will move the Bendix back out. Don't forget you have to double clutch to shift gears there are no synchro's in the trans.

[@billywird]

Well I have to put my two cents worth in. As complete as that car is and as good of shape it is in. If it were mine I believe I would keep it stock and just put a paint job on it and any interior work needed and drive it as a historical piece of history. Not necessarily a full frame off restoration but a mechanical restoration as needed, and get everything working. I would paint the car in a color combination that would have been representative of the time. It's a cool car, fifty three years ago a fellow one class behind me in high school had one and he drove it back and🥸 forth to school and it would spin the tires

[@georgeevens4881]
