The Model A FINALLY Gets The Roof It Deserves!

‪@MerlinsOldSchoolGarage‬ and Makay are working on the Model A roof today. Merlin always uses miscellaneous items to build cars and you guessed it... This is not a Ford Roof! Will they be able to get it to fit seamlessly?

The yard sure has changed a lot in 4 years! Don't let anyone tell you that you have a problem , dragons have hoards too and they are pretty cool.

[@craigpimlott204]

Dragons have Hordes not hoards ..👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿I come from the land of the Dragon 👍

[@RuralTowner]

@@craigpimlott204 Hoard (usually stuff) or Horde (usually an army that may pillage said stuff)...either way it's having lots of stuff.

[@matthewf1979]

That Model A is coming along at a blazing pace! Looks great!

[@skippyjones4195]

I love it when a plan comes together hahaha… looking Awesome Merlin Hello McKay 👍💪🏻☮️❤️✌️

[@michaeltablet8577]

Merlin you are a master at so many skills. I worked in the auto repair business for almost 30 years and you are impressive!

[@kevbev1524]

That's simply amazing how it all came together, I love it.❤🎉

[@marvincarter870]

Merlin you and McKay did a great job cutting and trimming to fit that Chevelle roof on this Model A! No worries about installing this Chevy part on the Ford because its happy to be protected from the rain and sun!

[@hubiesgarage]

Whoda thunk it!? A Chevelle Roof with the same contour fitting on a Model A! Great work as always!

[@geoffballe8766]

Merlin both you and the Brother McKay are hands down the best value entertainment on utube you compliment each other perfectly🇦🇺🇺🇸

[@cliveturner4788]

Merlin…you are a bloody genius! 😊

[@edwardhughes3240]

A chevelle roof on a model A Ford is a Beautiful thing! Eddie

[@ethanh3421]

I can’t begin to explain how much of an inspiration guys like you and your cousin paul are for younger guys like me into cars and wanna keep the oldschool hot rodding ways alive. Thank you for creating another generation of good people and being role models for us all!

[@geroldknoebel3836]

Merlin very good craftsmanship, I can judge, laugh not as a former senior engineer / senior site manager, been traveling worldwide. But still as a young man, in the early 80s, I restored a Mercedes SL 190 about 20 - 25 years old and brought my father-in-law's Mercedes 190 back into shape. On the SL 190, which belonged to a friend, I even built the fenders myself, the whole floor assembly was rotten, everything was new. Smile, then partly repaired with 316 sheet metal and welded in with stick. The body panels, all autogenous welded, as well as the exhaust system, pipes all new and bent WT 4.5 mm. Silencer, completely new, built by myself. Everything then sanded and sprayed with a super primer, sanded again, again with primer, sanded and then intermediate coat and top coat. The SL 190 still looks like new today, is only driven in good weather and is kept in a well-ventilated garage. After that, I never had any more time and needed my free time for my family and myself. I then spent a long time restoring a house with my father-in-law, where my son now lives. Greetings from Frankfurt Gerold.

Merlin I give you BigTime Props for turning your Dream's into a Reality. ❤ Because of my Pacemaker I'm Limited to what I can do like Welding. Otherwise I can do pretty much anything else.❤

[@mattc.310]

That roof install was pretty cool. The A is coming together nicely. Haven't seen Jimmy around for a minute. First thing he says is "i'm hungry". Must be breakfast time. You have quite a crew around you. Makay has some tricks up his sleeve for sure.

[@scotthackl3718]

You have some of the best music to go with your amazing builds. Keep up the good work!

[@MRobichaud99]

Just amazing! That model T is going to be fantastic. Nice job men!

[@craigschultz3409]

Looking Good😊

[@xxBlazinBobxx]

Enjoyed the timelapse and sound track for the roof fab! Lookin' good!

[@larrykittell726]

Looking good! Just remember, parts don't care where they came from. I have a Ford with a Chevy engine, a Chevy with a Ford rear end, and I'm about to put another Ford rear end in a Plymouth.

[@foproy]

I'm just glad to see a rat rod being built simple, instead of adding a bunch of random clutter on to it like some builders do.

[@deanhuffman48]

My day is always better when merlin is on we love this guy !!!❤❤

[@lonhoschar1943]

Nice video, Merlin. looks like you did a fine job of getting those two body pieces married together!! It's looking awesome. Even got the glass doors put on!!!

[@ndafarachaitezvi1139]

Awesome and outstanding as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

[@enjoylife6311]

Gonna be a awesome ride! Even more awesome that you saved the pieces from the scrap yard!!

[@Patrick.Weightman]

You guys are the definition of taking pride in your work

[@LawlessOffroadAdventures]

🤘 old school just needs the rumble seat for those who really want a free ride 😅

[@BudFranks-fu9ye]

Beautiful ride👍💯it doesn't have to be painted to look sharp. I would drive the wheels off that thing just like it is.

[@carmudgeon7478]

Of course the car gods are smiling. That top would have been a candidate for Fitzees Fabrications cut-n-butt, but you got er done. Love watching.

[@1944chevytruck]

good job! more toys!

[@LeslieForster]

Hey Merlin, you have the coolest, most unique projects! I said this before, now I have to get into model "A" - "T" stuff.

[@wadericker4795]

Looking good! You are turning rusty iron into Gold! Fun stuff!

[@mikeburgess7331]

Merlin, you are unbelievable!

[@joeeyman7503]

Thank you for another lesson from Professor Merlin! 🙏❤️😎🤙

[@bigjosh4810]

[@allentisthammer4763]

Nice job mixing models . Sorta reminds me of Frank An Stein's hair line!

[@Daniel-gi3jo]

Tis good to have a towel man. Cool beans and looking great.

[@jeffclark2725]

Thumbs up great adventure with the Mogel A

[@norcoredneck]

Lots of folks dream of a project, get started and lose interest along the way. Seems Merlin is one of the few that trudges to the end, on all 653 projects he has going.., 😂🤣😂

[@gregsabo6371]

You do awesome work, Merlin!

[@johnhart125]

Loved doing this stuff, building stuff from thrownaway junk was always fun, this is cool! Satin clear on this be great

[@Heeman5]

Merlin the magician

[@opendstudio7141]

I’d still be measuring and mapping out that top. I’d take years to get it fitted in. 👍🤔

[@danimal0921]

I sure do enjoy watching you work your magic, Mr. Merlin!!!

[@Kristof-Kay]

Merlins old school garage, making cars like the rest of us make breakfast, he makes it look so easy 😂 great video as always Merlin, thanks for sharing

[@rhondasweeney7271]

Beautiful job 😊

[@garychaiken808]

Great job guys. Thank you 😊

[@whittlerdave1440]

Top came out good

[@woodsontr]

It’s looking 😎👍

[@anthonylee2099]

Looks good Merlin🤙😎

[@MartinSmiltneek]

Whjen fitting a large pannel like a door or roof, I use a refrigerator box as I typically get one or two chances to make a stiff replica of a finished shape I then cut on the outside of a sharpie marker to finish grind the actual fit. finally the top fits to Tig weld into position. I am thinking about using some magnetic tools to jack the panel level into the correct alignment for future body work with minimal distortion and filler. I love being retired as projects take time and I own the project not the project owning me. I probably spend as much time on messing with tooling as I do working on the actual project! More fun for me ! I often wonder if content pressure may detract from your projects.

[@robertr4193]

You really do magic Merlin. No wonder your name.

[@BrettFuller-e6b]

Just wow

[@georgeweisbrod1876]

Modern version of ventures'd 'pipeline' tune!

[@craigsouthern5089]

Thanks for taking us subscriber's along for the ride. Model A coming along nicely. Love the channel. Keep up the great work. ✌️👍🤙🤙😎😁🍀🍀🍀🍀🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@jaimesan2609]

Merlin, you're a genius. I wonder how many Chevelle owners are wondering what happened to their roofs?

[@charlielowe5258]

Awesome 😎👍

[@littleoldlady1863]

Hi I have been watching your show as soon it comes on ok I will praying 🙏 for you and your wife 🙏 and your family and friends ok you have a wonderful day and have a good night and day ok love Lorilee xoxoxoxox

[@ronaldbrown7780]

Nice Work as always ! Merlin the Wizard

[@tonyjones9715]

Another great video Thanks 👏👏

[@lonhoschar1943]

The buckle in the roof... My dad used to talk about using dry ice after heating the metal to get it to shrink... Maybe it would work for your roof???

[@almclean4835]

A plus from me !

[@arjanvogel6444]

Thanks for the vid 😇💗💗💗 love and bless you guys, good work 😍

[@_Merica_USA]

Another Great Video 👍 Great content, keep up the great work!

[@woodsontr]

Coat hanger welding? 😀☝️

[@rolandtb3]

Soon you will have to build your own local display museum. Running out of yard space.

[@DennisMcGrew]

great as always

[@BodiTriggerfinger]

Merlinsky, I like you channel, cool stuff true work and people with McKay and JetskiJim… true life with true people without these fancy destroying things like you must other guy’s.. not blaming but it’s nice to the good knowledge people work on something without drama n‘ destroying things….. ok, well VW parts but that is kind of normal… enjoying every second on my couch to see that….

[@coltonupchurch4368]

🎉🎉🎉🎉How much for the car🎉🎉🎉

[@johngray3860]

It's looking good!!!

[@LewisMowersandBoats]

New subscriber here just seen ya on vgg ....love your show and that was very cool brother of you to help out the boys 😊

[@raymondkidwell2338]

All that work and you left that big dent in the right rear of the original part of the roof

[@kjflyte5088]

No rag top ?? Lol in Arizona i guess it protects better having a roof.

[@jessbruner708]

great job Merlin !!!!!!!!!!!

[@michaelmeyer5347]

My MHO.... That metal ceased being Chevy when it left the donor car. I like most Dodge, Chevy, Ford. Had em all. 👍🤠👍

[@TheOldaz1]

Nice job on the roof, guess if Chad can put a Ford motor in a GMC, there's no reason a Chev roof shouldn't be used in a Ford.

[@kenfrazier616]

sweet

[@RonSales]

American metal in both the Chevrolet and Ford can still say it was made in the U.S.A.!

[@kc6nfv746]

Merlin I met you in lake smell some more Around 2000 / 2002 at the mobile Gas station on central just off the 15 freeway I had a 1986 blue T Bird

[@stevebeavers3754]

Wow, chevelle hood... Sure saved you a lot of pain.

[@H4rleyBoy]

It would be nice if someone realised that pointing the camera towards the door whites put half the screen and pointed it indoors.

[@kaybakr-e4k]

nice looking roof; and it will get AC and a heater?

[@gadiantonx8474]

no garnish moldings just make some

[@JosephMullin]

Now you just need a Mopar motor and really upset thee car Gods, LOL

[@edwardhughes3240]

If anyone complains tell them at least you didn't power it with an LS engine! Eddie

[@burnoutwarehouse2421]

Every ford should have 50%chev parts to make it work properly

[@1256giff]

Will you clear cote the Model A?

[@Sam465]

Just out of curiosity, would a T coupe be3 easy to put together because of a flat top, compared to a Model A ?

[@RadioMan666]

😀 👍👍

[@robertheinkel6225]

What held in the original roof?

[@RuralTowner]

8:00 Also to dab the forehead too right? 😅

[@glenn9989]

How do you register something like this ?

[@NCMOUNTAINMAN]

Looking good. PLEASE PAINT 😑. Robbie Layton.
