1931 Ford Model A Street Rod "The Ultimate Sleeper" Big Oak Garage

[@danielmaehren882]

"You got to put a Ford in a Ford" Amen Brother!!

[@ScottieDTV]

For sure!!

[@geofo60]

I’ve owned & built quite a few Street Rods over the last forty years and I have to say that this Tudor is right up my street. A real Resto Rod. Love how you did the firewall and the dashboard. Makes a refreshing change to see a Ford in a Ford too. Regards from the U.K. 🇬🇧 Thanks for sharing.

[@ScottieDTV]

Your welcome...Glad You enjoyed it...I just shot the video....

[@kevingrant2326]

Man , I want that car ! A real beauty for sure .

[@simonstovebolt]

I love the hotrods that don't slide to far away from looking original I love it

[@ScottieDTV]

Cool!

[@mosesberkowitz3298]

WHAT?!? We don't get to see it drive? Not even one little burnout? I want my five minutes back!

[@ScottieDTV]

It drives into the video?

[@mosesberkowitz3298]

Oh, come on.....it putters slowly into the video like a stock Model A. After all those modifications its a shame to not see a little action! Great car though

[@Hot80s]

me too what a snoozer

[@m_i_g_5108]

Thank you Moses! Not all capes need to be used by heroes!

[@damianfarnsworth7474]

not with factory spoke wheels

[@QuantumLeap83]

I wonder how much torque those wire wheels can handle?

[@tonkingulfyachtclub8111]

The first time he pops the clutch, those wire wheels will turn into modern art.

[@ScottieDTV]

Maybe.....But that would still be cool...

[@pjcsmo]

I don’t think so. Those are definitely NOT stock Model A wheels…twice or three times the number of spokes…..

[@N-Scale]

Another one I could see my self in for sure. That guy and I are on the same wave length. Mike

[@ScottieDTV]

Glad you liked it Mike....Cool Car for sure!!

[@shcaskey]

I like what Ive seen of Big Oak's work. Young guys with a good eye for whats right!

[@ScottieDTV]

Right on....They are on their way for sure!!

[@iflick7235]

Not a big fan of hot rods but I like this one.

[@ScottieDTV]

Cool!

[@josephconsoli4128]

AWESOME! I love it. That's the way I'd have a sleeper. A powerful comfortable safe cruiser, yet hardly modifying any of the cosmetics. I actually would've went one step further with keeping the original dash cluster and have a flip down modern gauge cluster.

[@ScottieDTV]

Right on...Glad You liked it!!

[@mmcd5821]

Fantastic!!! Beautifully done!

[@ScottieDTV]

Glad you liked it!

[@HondariderLee]

That's exactly what I want .... this is the way I'd want mine done someday ultimate sleeper dependable a.c. old school look.... a wolf in sheeps clothing....awesome job....

[@ScottieDTV]

Glad You liked it...Cool car for sure!!

[@DrTheRich]

Please don't cut up a perfectly good restored car of you do that.

[@mikeherbst1825]

Had a buddy in Socal in the '70's running a 427 medium rise in a Model A to match his 32 Deuce coupe with the same drivetrain. Just an immaculate ride!

[@ScottieDTV]

Right on...Sounds cool!

[@mistermauser3608]

Yep, the ultimate sleeper. A real nice build.

[@ScottieDTV]

I dig it too...

[@pdgray3]

That's a great car. Thanks Scottie.

[@ScottieDTV]

Your welcome...Glad you liked it!

[@Kimoto504]

You didn't mention that they dropped it a couple of inches. It looks a bit modern that close to the ground. I love that the body's kept original and that the paint is period.

[@ScottieDTV]

Glad you enjoyed it!!

[@happyfreeliferc]

great build !! looks real nice. i think finding a 1930's postal truck or farm (bigger than the model T & A) would be a cool build .those trucks are heavy duty and could accomodate the 289,302 or even a 351. set it up for an atv with 4x4 . with military type tires and rims.

[@ScottieDTV]

Thanks for checking this one out here!

[@daveogarf]

SWEET RIDE! And FINALLY - Ford in Ford -- YES!

[@ScottieDTV]

lol....I don't like when they don't match!

[@hereb4theend]

Loving that Southern accent. Music to my ears 😍

[@ScottieDTV]

Glad You enjoyed it!!

[@duncancox7341]

In 1976, I put a 289 Ford in a '30 Ford coupe and drove it to the Street Rod Nationals. I was 19 years old. The small block Fords are narrow but long, not "huge" as described in the video. They easily fit between the rails of a Model A but need firewall clearance as shown in the featured car. The Model A Fords were rated at 40 horsepower.

[@ScottieDTV]

Right on...

[@motorTranz]

Beautiful. One of the top ones you've shown.

[@ScottieDTV]

Thank you....Glad you enjoyed it!

[@barrysnider635]

Best of both worlds !!

[@ScottieDTV]

Right on!

[@GMC79]

Need to take that to the strip and do another vid!

[@joefwarren]

THANK YOU! for keeping it all Ford!

[@ScottieDTV]

I would not have shot it if it wasn't.......

[@BikeronaTrek]

Nice car, i like how how the modern features make this car driveable anywhere. I really like that power under the hood though. Clean!

[@ScottieDTV]

Right on....Glad you liked it!!

[@djbanizza]

This thing is gorgeous

[@ScottieDTV]

Glad you liked it!

[@erlihs.7994]

the car is awesome. when I saw that shiny engine I was really surprised - I had not expected to see something like that.

[@ScottieDTV]

Right on....Glad you liked it!!

Sweet ride.

[@ScottieDTV]

For sure!

[@neilmaster785]

Al Capone wishes he had this car

[@ScottieDTV]

lol..I bet he does...

[@nopenone9399]

Al Capone didn't drive a Model A

[@happyfreeliferc]

@@craigbrown7707 ive read that they(Bonnie & Clyde) wrote to Henry Ford thanking him for building a great car

[@mikedunham1015]

I'm a vintage car admirer and love how this maintained that original/vintage look with the body and seats. My brother just bought a 1930 Model A (all original even the 6 volt positive ground generator) so I've gotten a good idea of what stock was on these. The (original) 3 speed non-synchromesh transmission is a bit tricky to drive having to double clutch but it's a solid trany. What speed/transmission is in this car?

[@ScottieDTV]

All I know is in the video Brother....I just shoot the videos..

[@bossco09]

That's cool Scottie,very nicely done.....:):)

[@ScottieDTV]

I agree Brother....Glad you liked it to!!

[@huck01955]

[@ScottieDTV]

Nice build for sure!

[@JohnW1711stock]

Very nice. More American engineering. Thanks Scottie.

Glad you liked it Brother....figured you might...

[@rlu1956]

I love this.

[@ScottieDTV]

Very cool build for sure!!

[@GIguy]

Stock engine was usual a straight 4 cyl with only 40hp!

[@ScottieDTV]

Right on!

[@BaronVonPurp]

@@ScottieDTV i hear them folks at Miller have a kit that can get them old 4 bangers to ~110 horses! Not much compared to your friend's 302 but when you consider she only came with 40 horses; ya gotta marvel in respect at the hard back breakin American work them old hot rodders put into makin that possible!

[@johnossendorf9979]

I like it! I don't want any one know what they are looking at or up against, until I tell or pass them.

[@ScottieDTV]

lol...Right on!!

[@badad0166]

2:17 I want it but what's the daylight coming through at the firewall interior? All else hard yes, but...

[@ScottieDTV]

I just shoot the videos...

[@gregghatfield9946]

Wow nice low look. WOW

[@ScottieDTV]

lol..Glad you liked it!

[@JohnnyRebKy]

That’s exactly what I’ve always wanted to do!! A Model A stock appearing sedan...not slammed or chopped. All original looks with a V8 hidden under the hood. I’d even like to get a 5 speed manual in it for drivability. BTW all Model A Fords had a 4 cylinder with a whopping 40 horsepower. They didn’t even have a oil filter on them and recommended oil changes are 500 miles.

[@ScottieDTV]

Cool!

[@ddemouchet1]

SWEET sleeper

[@ScottieDTV]

For sure!

[@gradybrowning3976]

I am building a model A sedan with a 302 but am stuck on where to put the battery not much room. Nice job on like the model A like the way you did the fire wall.

Bet it can spin those skinny tires at any time , could be interesting drive on wet or snowy roads.

[@ScottieDTV]

Snowy!?!?..Why would you drive it n the snow....Thanks for checking it out...It is a fair weather hot rod for sure!

[@heartland96a]

@@ScottieDTV I thought the owner wanted it to be able to drive any time any where , wouldn't that include all weather conditions ? Yes I understand fair weather use only . Its a very nice restomod , very nice so much was left stock or stock looking by hiding things on the dash over hang .

Can the wire wheels handle the torque of that V8? Seems like they would be the weakest link.
