Let's pull a FORD Model A Engine the EASY WAY!

[@certified68crazy3]

Henry was content with the T, it was Edsel that finally convinced his Dad to move on from the .

[@wesleypulkka7447]

SG, well Jim and Matt I've seen body off resto work but this is the 1st body off oil change I've seen! You guys are a hoot! My dad had a friend who had 7 Model A's and always kept two of them in solid running condition as daily drivers well into the 1970s! My former neighbor (I moved) Pete T still has a '28 roadster with rumble seat and double fender wells for spare tires that he got in high school before he graduated in 1963! In the meantime he's picked up four more A's. The A is one of my all-time favs as well. Great Video!!

[@upscaleshack]

Good to see Matt sticking to light duty work, just low stress things like lifting bodies from chassis, etc.

[@philipdecatanzaro1822]

"Another special day if you are into a model A". Jim's a poet and doesn't know it.

[@MrButtonpresser]

That car is the same age as my Dad. He's just celebrated another birthday too!

[@ellwoodblooz]

Ding Ding YEAH!

[@briantheoldjeepguy6793]

The start of another epic Jim project! At 1st glance it looks like the Model A will be completed before the Mark II or the VW bus, time will tell. I'm always pleased to see you guy finding excuses to use that overhead trolley lift, I would too if I was lucky to have one! Stay Well & Stay Warm!

[@asteverino8569]

Happy December and thank you.

[@tomtheplummer7322]

Back when I road raced motorcycles on the track, I started at Brainerd, Minnesota, went to Daytona, Florida for the 200 against Wes Cooley ...yes the 80’s. You kids won’t remember. Finished up in Dallas, TX fixing 737 flame out engines at high altitudes with my motorcycle teammate. Our race team went bankrupt. Scooter Enterprises. We still beat Stihl chainsaws with our Husqvarnas. We spent time in the mobile home porting with a pair of Dremel tools. Packed the distribution van (our race van to the end of our run) and we sold saws in Nort Minnesota and Wisconsin. Good times. No Country for Old men 🎅🏻

[@desobrien3827]

Such depth of knowledge you guys have. I am hoping the engine lining job you did for Scott gets tons of views...one of the best efforts I have seen...and did not know was/could be done.

[@petesmith8846]

My favorite CWMC agent has his own channel and I’ve been watching it since the first upload and i love Strong’s Garage so much. Congratulations you guys and thanks for showing us what you do.

[@carlosmontoya8658]

You two guys are very, very multi-talented individuals. Us out here in KZbin land surely benefit from your content and deeply appreciate it!

[@ltdjag7577]

What a wonderful shop, such character. Matt and Jim, charming

[@glennnickerson8438]

Thank goodness for Edsel Ford! His styling cues created some of the most beautiful cars that Ford ever made! Enjoy your new toy Jim and get well soon Matt!😐😐🏋️‍♂️

[@Praterphil]

Great to see the old hoist, in the cool old shop, working on a cool old car! Thanks for doing these videos.

[@johna1160]

Great episode, guys. They don't all have to be lengthy videos, just under ten minutes works for me. You managed to be entertaining while sharing some interesting Ford lore. Glad Jim remembered to turn on his mic for the shop segment. Expect you'll be busting out the Santa hats pretty soon.

[@brianhdueck3372]

Such a cool show you guys have! Love it!

[@crushingvanessa3277]

The debut of the century, until the Ford Escort came out, ha ha. For some reason I think of Krass and Bernie when I watch this.

[@planetwisconsin9901]

Comes in for an oil change and now you're winching the body off! I laughed my ass off!😝

[@installwebercarburetorsona6159]

The Prairie Home Companion of automotive KZbin channels. :)

[@jamesmoore6146]

The snow treads are so cool on that car. No waiting for spring to drive that one.

[@PaulinesPastimes]

What a great car. My grandfather had a 1930 A tourer with twin fender mounted spare tyres. It was long gone before I was born but I do have a photo or two. The Model A is my favourite vintage car. The coupe you have with the handy trunk is beautiful. 😊

[@desobrien3827]

Also guys, what an absolutely brilliant business model, it will be very successful...I reckon your customer base will just keep growing exponentially... KZbin an ideal platform to get advertise your skills & services, business wise...

[@dangoodall-williams4200]

You guys sure know what you're doing !!

[@davidcoudriet8439]

That heater manifold is genius!

[@jorgefernandez-mv8hu]

I love watching you guys take apart these cars and getting them together again. Keep up the fine work.

[@dionrau5580]

Canadian mist is really good in coffee cups!!!

[@lyndatomlins3448]

Early '30 Canadian Model A? Has the 7 tooth steering box. Great episode ,guys!

[@rustyrods8535]

Nothing like a Model A coupe . I have a 1930 that was built ( modified) to a Hot Rod , even though it’s not original it’s still enough of the car left to give the great feeling .

[@johnburch6927]

Hope your ankle is doing better, or at least Jim is getting used to you "supervising". Lol. Cheers guy's!!

[@ron1836]

I've never owned, worked on or driven a car older than late 1950's. But I love anything old. I daily drive some 70's-80's chryslers. Someday I really want to move into this sorta stuff. I always had this thought that maybe I could just design and build my own version of a car about like a model A. I figure you could use a frame from like an s-10 or older Dakota or something. Then go from there. Seems like it wouldn't be impossible. And it would be really fun working all the kinks out of the thing.

[@billyhord4508]

Glad to see Matt getting around ok. Jim the A will be sweet when finished.

[@Mercmad]

I have a collection of those Floydd Clymer books .Great books! He was also the youngest car dealer in the USA,when he was 12 years old apparently.

[@forthwithtx5852]

Both of you guys crack me up, but Jim is a low-key comedic genius. You gotta listen closely, sometimes. 😂😂

[@tomtheplummer7322]

Hop along Brother...stay Strong💪🇨🇦🇺🇸😏🤭🤫👍🏻😆🛠

[@brianandglendaharkin9457]

Less is more . Dependable Dodge. You guys like Scott do great work. Oh your work is Dodgy 😂😂😂Hope to see a real car in your workshop soon.

[@jamiewaddell1598]

Hell yes have 2 model As hotrods both with flathead v8 Fords in them home built of course. Keep up the good work guys brilliant

[@crushingvanessa3277]

The water in the rad looks like the chocolate river in Moncton.

[@stevenwithanS]

Could've watched that for a couple hours.

[@Ragtop_Jalopy]

I really enjoy your presentations.... I knew a man when I was growing up, who had a similar outlook and shop...loved hanging out with him! Totally love the retro-vibe you adhere to! My father had a very similar car like this....but teal-blue colored....I rode with him zipping around town in his 30' Ford coupe....thanks for the trip down memory lane....you guys make me smile!!!

[@roadmasterk6019]

Very impressive, this upload...

[@mafcawebmaster4237]

Very entertaining!

[@victorbitter583]

Good stuff gents. If Matt moves his mic a bit further away from his mouth, it should fix the audio issue on that mic. cheers.

[@davidsolloway9349]

Keep at it !

[@paulhamer1374]

I have really enjoyed all your videos, especially the ones on the Model A as I just bought my first. Got a 1929 Fordor. I especially love all your old tools.

[@danielulz1640]

Well, that's one way to remove an engine! Just peel everything else off until there is nothing left but the engine and the frame! LOL.

[@jodysappington7008]

Enjoyed the vlog..Thank you

[@tomtheplummer7322]

No rollin up the sleeves to sleeve and bush a new bore. 🤫🤭 It wasn’t boring 😏🛠👌🏻

[@mthury4532]

Love it. Model A is one of my favorites. Love the channel.

[@MartsGarage]

Blimey it didn't take long for mission creep to kick in! I half expected Matt to hold the book sideways like the old Playboy centre spreads and Jim's Eyes to light up. I look forward to some Model A progress. All the best, Mart in England.

[@BY504A]

Love your channel. You both make the blog fun and interesting. It's hard to believe that the Model A is 95 years old. It feels like yesterday when they rolled out of the showrooms, well at least to someone slightly older then me. Will be looking forward to the updates as the car gets all of the maintenance work finished. Take care.

[@forthwithtx5852]

I remember when the Chrysler K-Cars rolled out. And I’m 58.

[@paulbennell3313]

Wish they were all that easy!

[@johnolver3217]

Just came across your channel. That’s a nice looking project! You got a new sub! Looking forward to the progress. I have a couple model A. Pride an joy is a 29 roadster.

[@brianandglendaharkin9457]

Thank God for the Dodge brothers who left Ford an built better cars the Henry .🇦🇺👍🏻truth teller .

[@gregwddriver]

Worth noting is the original coil still on the firewall. You also have the seven tooth steering box, not as good as the two tooth, but kind of a rarity on the 1930 models. I think they used them up into May of '30. This stuff still being there attests to the cars untouched originality.

[@brianbethel9929]

Matt, Jim thanks so much for the history lesson. Knowing that makes me wish I still had my '30 towne sedan. Maybe I'll find another. Thanks for the show. Cheers from Ohio.

[@angelaracino6236]

Wonderful video Men, I hope your foot or ankle heals quickly. Cheers from Fort Lauderdale Florida republic USA

[@Mr19thcenturyman]

Inspiration to work on my '31 coupe. Found it in Minturn Colorado.

[@morgansword]

You two men are the vision of men from yesteryear and its many facets for our modern day garage. I know for a fact that if it were possible to do right now for me, I would be right at home doing this kind of work and enjoying every minute of it. I got hurt right in my prime of life and that is some of the reason I'm so bitter. Your putting on a great video here depicting things as they were done in the day of milk in a container/milk jug you put back in the basket when empty and that milk man would bring along with milk, someones baked goods past from their home. Also among this commodity was some meats if requested in the note left for the milkman days prior to this delivery. Early time "Amazon" if you can forgive me of plagiarism. Each and every business was run on a honesty system and so money would be found in the note left in the basket. I wish that I could do better of this vision you woke up in me. I grew up with this system. Jails were a place usually found in a larger town collective of people who were merchants and did nothing that merchants do today. I am so short on vocabulary or vernacular skills so I am butchering my description of those days and times. Many folks were in morning for those stables that shawed the horse or fixed a harness. They adapted to a garage over time as there were less and less people that would travel by horseback. You could not just park the horse till you needed to go home again That in fact was when stores were transforming from home in back and business up front. The biggest businesses were the saloons with working girls upstairs... those girls were of high respected professions and men treated those ladies very well. I remember that some towns vying for size or cattlemen/miners had some of the local married women. I remember a argument between some men complaining about women raising the price of their wares to a whole five dollars an guys were saying; We only earn three dollars a day! that was the late thirties town talk and so me born in the late forties had heard this in a real small town that barely stayed in business. Those people were still making yesteryear wages. I happen to know this stuff first hand as my mom was a "working single woman" and so I had some particular jobs not even heard of today. My mother past away when I was eight years of age, those fine folks just toted me down to a place now known as a orphanage to get the brat off of the street... god only knew who my dad was but she did so I found my way from Johnson city N. Carolina to a small town called Rockport Washington. That man carried guilt and took me in but in a capacity of obligation so he had a new rented mule. Dang it, I fell off of topic, the garage that your operating in. So if this building is old enough, then it was built onto different stages as it went from stable to a full time shop and possible dealership of some make of car. Old enough, it was not a Ford, Chevy, many of different makes like Oldsmobile, Hudson, Pontiac, just as well name most all cars then because in my time, there was already the start of a big four car makers. So now we think of those many models of cars as part of ford or chevy.... chrysler to just name a few. I now see that I am talking to the choir as you know this already. I shall quit at this point to say thank you for waking my many memories of the past times

[@eumoria]

I am really sorry about your ankle but the crutches kinda give the whole "depression era" workshop vibe a boost. This might be the most horrible compliment... regardless keep up the fantastic work. I LOVE this channel :P

[@davecarey7452]

Modified duties hasn’t slowed Matt down a bit. You guys made quick work of the body removal. That hot air off the manifold for cabin heat was very interesting. I can imagine it may have taken some of the edge off the cold prairie wind in winter.

[@sulistiman]

Happy camper’s body’s off

[@wilenelson1810]

Sweet !!!! 😎

Nice work enjoy your videos Keep up the good work. Thanks for posting !

[@maggs131]

Vinegar flush? I'm assuming to remove rust

[@tubbs2132]

Yes, vinegar is excellent at eating rust but it will also disintegrate solid metal if you're not careful.

[@thebanjoman1963]

Did the same thing with the body of my '29 coupe. But I used my BendPak X9X lift and a couple 4x4s. I had to take the steering apart to clear but got the same results. Thanks for Sharing.

[@dennissmith5037]

I love Model A's; I like Hot Rodded better than the original. Why, you may ask? I like that you can drive them at highway speeds, 80, 90 or faster mph. I have a cousin who built one. He had a 351 Ford with a C4 transmission, and mustang II front end. I am not sure of the rear end, but it was a nice car. Great video as always. Cheers from KCMO. Matt is getting around pretty good on his crutches.

[@BillB23]

No, happiness is a choice, not a result. Nonetheless I heartily enjoyed this episode. Thanks, gents.

[@michaelcuff3418]

My favorite car of all time is a 1940s Ford business coup. Almost had one for 20 grand but I had just bought my house and didnt have the money.

[@waynemiracle8928]

I love your channel! The first few minuets of the video I kept hearing a clicking noise. Just wanting you to know you may have an audio issue, but not sure? I am not a audio tech.

[@brendamcdaniel1958]

Cool car 😎 very likable. Those crutches get in the way, might be easier to get used to a peg leg, just kidding. Wishing you the best in recovering soon. I’d like to have a late model like that. Looks like you have everything you need to make a great car. Thanks for the video.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Now that you've gone to all the trouble of removing that body, why not just save time and drop it on a modern s10 chassis? Everyone knows that you can't drive a car with mechanical brakes, straight axle and bias plies. Somewhere in the family photo album there's a picture of my great grandfather and his '28 Tudor in a similar state of dismemberment, he didn't look too pleased about the situation, he should have just brought it to Strong's for service!

[@dcwebb1]

Love this channel....keep up the great content!

[@HamiltonMechanical]

Not sure what's happening with your audio but wanted to let you know it's popping on occasion... this isn't the first video i've noticed it in of yours either, but only your videos seem to do it, so I don't think it's on my end... HOPE YOU GET BETTER SOON MATT!

[@fatasford]

No no diamonds that’s great

[@roybailey5041]

Good shop all vids seen liked cold war fun

[@8avexp]

My mother was born in 1928!

[@ModelARickLasCruces]

Now that the body is off the frame, did you locate the serial number stamped on the frame? SHOW US WHERE you found it, please!

[@hotpuppy1]

Back in the day when these cars were new, my dad was driving his boss's Oakland and a guy and gal were in front of him in a new Model A. The guy kept slowing down, making my dad pass. The guy would then speed up and pass my dad to repeat the process again. After a couple go arounds, dad got pissed and jammed the Oakland into 2nd and floored it, ramming the Model A in the trunk rack (the Oakland had a pipe for a bumper so no damage there). They both pulled over and the guy got out and looked at his car, didn't say anything because dad was going to clean his clock. Road rage nothing new.

[@markbehr88]

Cool stuff.

[@mylifesaga]

How do you find something like that and what is the price range on a poor to great model A in Canada???

[@dougsather2939]

Looks like the block is busted where the oil return pipe bolts on 😇🙏

[@robertdicarlo4490]

Do you have running boards?

[@antiqueradionut]

Never thought to pull the engine that way. But then, where do I put the body after yanking it? My garage isn't as big as yours. LOL

[@lenscap8925]

Service writer @ Strong's Garage: "I see you haven't kept the factory maintenance log up to date on your model A. We are a Ford factory authorized service center, and know you want to keep the warranty in effect on this fine automobile. There might be some extra details needed for complete service, other than the oil change you specified"😁You :"OK give her the works!"

[@tomtheplummer7322]

Well, can just build the motor in place now...

[@cratecruncher6687]

Hey! You fellows were supposed to remove the engine not the body. I hear that's the part with the extra hole in it, ha ha. This 30's stuff is so tiny!

I had no idea how the bearings were cast into the block until I cheated by watching the Haggerty video after I watched this one.I'd much preffer to watch you guys do your build,but thought others may wonder what goes into a Model A Ford 4. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXjRXmiMpLhgo5o

vinegar flush for radiator ??? how much never did that

[@agomodern]

I could make a crude joke out of that, but I'll refrain.

I think there's easier ways to get to the engine...
