1928 Ford Roadster! Epic 1,700 Mile Road Trip Across the USA in a home built Model A Hot Rod!

[@MC-re2ry]

So Moronski, cool video but . . . got anything original? I mean, isn't there already some other guy doing this schtick of rescue and limp home? Maybe you should move to Canada and get a girl friend and fix up tri-5s . . . . oh, wait a minute. It's a hard cold world out there. But c'mon man, you're better than a copycat. Do something only a Mortske would do.

[@MortskeRepair]

Copycat how? What hasn't been done before? I did anything but limp home. I bought a bucket list car for me, drove it to the beach, also bucket list, broke down, met good people and hung out with my friends. What more could you ask for?!?

[@sscottphillips1973]

​@MortskeRepair, you did awesome with this one. I hope one day to do this. Fly in and drive it home

[@DubiousNookie]

I've found our Troll of the Week, Mort! And ya didn't even have to pin it for me! 😂

If you feel you can do something original go right ahead and do it, video it and make it great….😂

[@MortskeRepair]

Our pleasure

[@SuperMAZ007]

Been not able to keep up with all the videos cause I have the wheat harvest going on. Very little time to hang on youtube. But I do like how Puddin and all the other people came to your help. I do recall one time when my buddy forgot the retainer plate on a bearing and it was probably one of his worst days. The roadster/hot rod looks super cool despite some of mechanical faults. This car has potential needs more old school hotrod stuff.

[@MortskeRepair]

All good

[@paulmurawski3683]

Yeah mort I watch Chiefs Classic

[@cindyh8822]

It’s great to see car people that realize that you have problem when you’re sitting on side of road. Means there ARE still good people in the world. The three of you slick, pud, and yourself are like a comedy show. It’s always heart warming when you get home and have your pet just go bananas. Keep it up your videos are awesome.

[@thejalopyjoint]

If I were doing the types of things you guys do for my entertainment, I would definitely want to do like you and bring the vehicles home to work on in my shop with my equipment rather than trying to get something running in a field and drive home. That being said this was one of my favorite videos of yours. The flying out to an already running and driving vehicle, and road tripping home with stops to see great friends was really great. The fact that you have friends all along the way that you can pop in and do a burnout or thrash for 3 days is amazing. I wouldn’t be disappointed to see this type of video again sometime.

[@MortskeRepair]

Glad to hear it

[@wpkennels3555]

Hey Sir Morticus, When I was a teenager I cut the roof off of my crown vic. I found that the perfect spot to hide from rain was a car wash. Nobody uses them while it's raining, so you aren't in the way. Love the new hot rod.

Orygun is that way too but the rest of the World doesn't see it that way.

[@Pantheragem]

@jeffhutchins7048 I know Oregon is that way. I've got a lot of family up there. Folks are visiting them. The farther East people are, the more they think all of Cali is L.A. and S.F. and likewise Oregon is just Portland. Except for the people who live in L.A., S.F. and Portland. They also think Cali is only L.A. and S.F., and Oregon is only Portland.

I loved the stop at Chief’s. My dad was a Pontiac man and I believe we had every one of those cars at one time😁 my first car was a 56 Star Chief convertible. I loved that car but ended up trading it to dad for a daily driver @ 16😳 if I only knew what I know now. Dad kept if for years, but needed cash for our body shop and sold it.
