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?

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

[@nathanpowers310]

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.

[@skippyjones4195]

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

[@danimal0921]

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

[@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!

[@rlhuber76]

Just wanted to say thanks for helping Derek with the differential on the mustang. Just got around to watching his Friday episode last night.

[@randymiller7521]

Love it. Ford, Chevy or dodge Merlin splices them together without prejudice.

[@kevbev1524]

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

[@edwardhughes3240]

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

[@MRobichaud99]

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

[@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!

[@geoffballe8766]

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

[@ndafarachaitezvi1139]

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

[@cliveturner4788]

Merlin…you are a bloody genius! 😊

[@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.

[@xxBlazinBobxx]

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

[@hubiesgarage]

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

[@kimetherington2252]

You and Makay work well together! Not that you need a partner, all your buddies seem to know their stuff and the comradery you all have together seems like there's nothing you all can't do! This build is looking mighty fine! I know we all love it. Catch you on the next.✌️ 😊

[@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.

When You Say "Going Oldschool" Just Look Up Ole Merlin As That was Some amazing Stitch Welding And Fill Work on that Roof Skin! been along Time Since i've Seen it Done to That Level Without Seeing a Roller and Several Different Dollies and hammers out to Reset the Panels after the Heating and Cooling of the 2 metals

[@wadericker4795]

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

[@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!

[@scotthackl3718]

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

[@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.

[@Patrick.Weightman]

You guys are the definition of taking pride in your work

[@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.

[@enjoylife6311]

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

[@oldfart5127]

You are a true Wizard on mechanical plans and ideas.

[@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!!!

[@jodywells7519]

[@johnhart125]

[@deanhuffman48]

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

[@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.

[@stevevanpatten1372]

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.❤

[@user-sy9mo5yx9x]

Very nice middle of the week bonus! The build is great keep up the great work Merlin.

[@LawlessOffroadAdventures]

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

[@robertr4193]

You really do magic Merlin. No wonder your name.

[@joeeyman7503]

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

[@opendstudio7141]

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

[@larrydavidson3402]

Awesome job on the Model A from start to finish.

[@user-lb9hi6bo5k]

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

[@Daniel-gi3jo]

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

[@joedavis569]

Awesome work. The glass turned out great. Real talent

[@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.., 😂🤣😂

[@gregb76]

Merlin, I know you are old school but you need to update the lights to LED cheaper and brighter. Great job again U2 it's coming right along.

[@stanSnider]

It’s cool to see how the contour of the Chevelle roof, fits the model A Perfect

[@allentisthammer4763]

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

[@diesel46809]

I would love to own one of those old ford's. Great job Merlin, keep up the great work...

[@mygarden365]

Merlin, You are a talent, right on!

[@1944chevytruck]

[@kattanablade]

looking great, i cant wait to see it rolling down the road complete.

[@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.

[@mikeburgess7331]

Merlin, you are unbelievable!

[@grizphetteplace1427]

Beautiful use of a classic line...

[@ronaldbrown7780]

[@user-vj5hj5pz2v]

Just wow

[@jaimesan2609]

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

[@steveandjenny149]

The man has skills! 👍

[@rayneethling7809]

Aye That he does, That he does. Merlin the magician's engine knowledge is incredible, esp Diesel Cummins but petrol too.

[@whittlerdave1440]

Top came out good

[@user-wp7tm6uh5s]

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.

[@ricco8733]

You like them rusty but brother you are not the least bit rusty. Keep up the good work!!

[@kentspangler3401]

Nice top💯

[@rolandtb3]

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

[@almclean4835]

A plus from me !

[@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???

[@kirbysisk7003]

Best channel on the tube.
