This 1928 Ford Model A Hasn't Run in Over 60 Years! | Roadworthy Rescues

[@abefroman7808]

There is so much I feel is missing. MT has this idea that we all dont have enough of an attention span, that we can barley hang on for 15 minutes. If you know Derek's fan base, you'd know we watch all 2 hours of his episodes and love every minute of it. I want the history on this car. I want to see the first start and Derek's reaction. I just want more. What a waste....

[@42forddeluxe]

Absolutely! I hope that the feller doesn't leave behind the formula that brought him success and keeps us watching and enternained. A guy needs to not forget what makes him who he is.

[@raisethedeadbrame7206]

We went from a compression test to driving on the road. WHAT!?

[@vimsi]

I love how the VGG videos get longer every time :D i can listen to his doodaps all day long - I laugh so much and longer videos means more laughing :D

[@Iseerightthruyou]

I agree 100%. This is just as bad as watching a movie that ends with a cliffhanger, and never making a sequel. Why even waste the effort. I'll just watch Vice Grip Garage.... Lol

[@markdoyle9642]

Sold Out, Im Sad.

[@michaelbradley7529]

Love how it jumps from "we got compression" to "now we're driving on the street". First starts are not a thing MotorTrend cares about. 🤦‍♂

[@daveswinfield]

With a new top...and seats. I watch these shows to see how everything is fixed. This channel seems to edit out that sort of thing.

[@michaelbradley7529]

@@daveswinfield That's why I go right to Vice Grip Garage for that sort of thing. I only clicked on this video was because of VGG.

[@drglinski]

That's why his channel is better

[@leftyo9589]

these cut down vids truly lose everything.

[@GeorgeKennedy-u4r]

Yeah, almost like watching one of those home-rescue shows. The brothers smash one counter top then the 8-man crew of Mexican artisans comes in, next thing you see is a finished rebuild. @@leftyo9589

[@ModelA]

Working on this Model A in Detroit with Derek was seriously the best week of my life. Thank you Derek and MotorTrend for the opportunity to make this episode of Roadworthy Rescues! Let's do it again!!!

[@moparman1962]

Outstanding Paul, you rock!

[@George-dy3pt]

Thanks for helping Merlin get back to Ohio!

[@GoodForYou4504]

Telling someone not to buy something and then helping to get it fixed up is a theme I'm way too familiar with.. 😂 Nice work sir! 👏

[@ModelA]

@@GoodForYou4504 Being friends with Derek means taking one for the team now and then!

[@billebobb]

Derek you DEFINITELY could not have found anyone better than Paul Shinn to work on a Model A. I’m of the mind that he knows more about them than did Henry Ford‼️ You guys need to do a follow-up❗️❗️

[@SR-gt350]

I laughed so hard when Derek was shaking the car to clean the gas tank and the mechanic comes in the shop. The look on his face was priceless!!😅😂

[@ColMason]

plastic bladed paint mixer cut down to fit into the tank on a drill will work alot better than car shaking alone. great vid! thanks

[@kenweiss8565]

Derek and Paul are great together! Old cars, even better! I want MUCH more content like this!!!!

[@ModelA]

If Motor Trend ever invites me back, I'm in!!

[@davidwildridge8080]

@@ModelAyou are the warranty Paul.

[@toddtonis]

Paul seems like a super nice guy donating his time to this pretty junky car and getting it to run. I've caught several of Paul's videos on these old cars and I love the simplicity and thoughtfulness of their design when working on cars was part of their initial design. I love Paul's shirt that says "I am the warranty".

[@GTStuning-]

Doesn't matter where you are in life, Derek will make anyone laugh at least once per episode!

[@dj-kq4fz]

Jumping a starter solenoid with a screwdriver was the first thing I ever learned about cars, thanks to a buddy's car having ignition issues. It has served me well for decades. Thanks Derek!

[@tonyrasmussen2265]

My dad has a 24 model T and a 31 Model A. Simple to work on and simple to diagnose. Great cars.

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

Yep. Easy to work on because they had to be. No dealer network in the beginning and repair shops were still not too common. Easy to work on, but quite a handful to drive (at least at first). My dad, who worked on many cars in his life, told me years ago that the Model T and A were the easiest cars he ever worked on.

[@marvincarter870]

Excellent job of breaking the engine down and replacing defective parts and then the pleasure of driving this old girl. Paul Shinn has so much knowledge about these Model A's and Model T's he's a valuable man to have by your side.

[@ModelA]

Except that Paul will drink all your Gatorade and only leave you with the Diet Cokes.

[@rayscrafield2106]

That was excellent! When I was just a kid, all my buddies had model A's so I learned a lot from them. I never had a Ford but the basics are still there. Gas, spark, compression. Bang!

[@ooj316]

Awesome. I’ve got an 09 Buick …1909 which is crazy to drive. Throttle and advance in the wheel. Brake on the right first gear reverse are clutches and second gear is a lever.

[@americanpatriotbill]

Love Derrick, he's a great fella

[@ozahmed4523]

I laugh when he licks the dipstick to taste the oil. 😆

It's great to see Derek and Paul together again!

[@moparman1962]

Very cool episode...Derek and Paul reviving a 1928 Ford Model A and then cruising around Detroit, MI in it...automotive only content doesn't get any better than that!

[@jamesreed58]

I have watched this episode several times times . I am so glad y’all saved another ole ford A

[@jbmaximus6910]

Vice grip garage is always entertaining. I was stunned to see this channel host and I watched this video completely.

[@DaveWEarle]

I love watching these old babies come back to life, and have the greatest respect for the guys who make that happen!

[@rodneywells2267]

Made me cry that was an honor to watch. Thank you for this wonderful gift

[@sammysurm24]

So cool to see you in my hometown working on an old “Feerd.” Thanks for the years of great entertainment, and loads of knowledge I’ve gained watching you wrastle with all these old rigs.

[@larrydavidson3402]

You get Paul and Derek and an old model A those two will make it run. Great job you two.

[@billyduffany3387]

I always enjoy watching Derek tinkering with older cars and teaching the youngins the specific names to the parts of an engine. This one was to short though.

[@beastscooter]

What a cool old car! Derek makes everything auto look easy and fun (a sign of a true expert!).

[@wesleyestill7653]

Owned a 31 Vicki for 36 years , but leaned some things from your video. thank you Derek.

[@chrispemberton1557]

Great to see. this. in 1967 in New Zealand Fjiordland, a Maori work mate took us eel fishing in his 1929 model A. I was amazed when it climed a very steep river bank while seemingly just ticking over. I have never forgotten it.

[@jeremyjoyce8637]

I would absolutely love to see VGG and Reba together. EPIC

[@danielluma2948]

To let everyone know, Packard is back in business. They are located in Medina,Ohio They will be bringing back the 1934 Packard Convertible It will be hand built with new equipment and technology. They have 1 built so far, and it is inside on their showroom floor. They have all the details and will be taking new orders soon .

[@danielbuckner2167]

As long as he is getting paid!

[@williamkaiser8067]

From a content point of view, I'm not so sure that was a step up. VGG was, and still is, a very entertaining channel (although it is more racing than it used to be and is losing its rescue/recovery style more these days, it seems). MT, as others here have noticed, rather slipshod in its presentation of a subject.

[@rototypical]

derek is in absolute top form with the one-liners on this one

[@DavidJonesZMBY]

Really love these episodes with Derek. Glad you hired him.

[@ralphhayward5693]

Love Paul's tee shirt - I am the warranty. This was a pleasant video. A bit short and skipped the actual start and body upgrade / conversion. But still worthwhile. Please keep them coming

back in the early 60's my brother and i had a model A woody wagon that was rough and we tinkered with it, learned on our own about cars and got it running and driving.

I had a '30 coupe when I was in high school (early 1960s). I spent nearly every spare cent I had on that thing, but I still love it.

[@charlesdalton985]

Two of my favorites working together! Greatly enjoyed this episode on MT and enjoyed this recap greatly. Thanks for saving it ~ Chuck

[@johnw6498]

A fun interesting video. Amazing what a "feller" can do with a bunch of replacement parts, A well equipped shop, a lift, an expert helper, and a LOT of video editing! Truthfully, I like the Vice Grip Garage videos a lot better.

[@Unus_Annus_]

I think Paul talked about this episode on his channel. They ended up buying a different engine for the model a, which in my mind defeats the entire purpose

[@robertsmith9953]

Great video. I own a 30 Tudor. Love all the vids about Model A's. Thank you for sharing your adventures. Paul's videos have saved my bacon more that I can remember.

I loved the first model T that he worked on and this is great. Also good job I want to see more.

[@andrewmassino5536]

undeniably THE BEST car show ive ever seen.

[@TwoTrakMind]

I love anything with Derek in it, but y'all left out the best part; starting the engine!

[@Twenty_Six_Hundred]

Too bad we missed the good parts. Anyway i just love the simplicity and build quality. It's like you could basically rebuild the engine with ease knowing the parts are solid an will last a lifetime

[@Jono.]

You guys definitely robbed me of the first start. After all of that teardown - why!! I appreciate you working with Derek, I wish this was on Derek's channel though.

[@ModelA]

This is just a teaser. Full episode is on Discovery Plus (Motortrend TV).

[@jamesbrown7521]

Paul Shiinn is a guru for Model A’s and great ambassador for the hobby.

[@mrwebber35]

Always wanted to do this sort of car from the ground up on a Model A. Ever since the TV show 'Walton's Mountain' had that nice yellow one the older brothers drove around in that seemed like a good idea. It was pretty much like this one with a rumble seat. Not a total disaster though. I like this one. Those white rims look amazing. Driving it around after came out of the OEM factory floor. Interesting. Is that where that Paul Shinn has his shop? Probably not. You guys probably just visited the Motor City Car Club where it was. The front wheels look like they need a serious alignment. Shazam - it has a new top and rumble seat. Truly KZbin magic.

[@ModelA]

Nah. My shop is at my house in Calaveras County (California). Derek had me fly out to Detroit to help on this one.

[@debbiem2146]

What happened? Great video, loving the rebuild, got the compression, and then...suddenly a completely restored car? I was seriously looking forward to watching the whole restoration, every little detail .... sigh.

[@GregoryBamber]

LOL.

[@gelynch52phPH]

Back in the late '60s in Venango County, PA my neighbor had several of those things behind his house that he cannibalized to keep his daily driver alive. He gave me a ride once in his pickup which was probably 20% welding rod & 80% original & added in metal, and that was one of the scariest rides I've ever had. Mechanical linkage brakes & wobbly steering. I have no idea how he managed to get it to pass inspection twice a year (we had twice a year inspections then, but annual now). I hadn't paid attention to the name of the channel, and going from compression to driving isn't how I wanted to see this. Not going to subscribe to this channel, because I like the Vice Grip Garage channel I've been subscribed to for years.

If your gas tank keeps giving you rust problems, go to your hardware store and buy a can of Lye and mix it with hot water. Fill the tank and let it sit for a while, a half hour or so. maybe rock it back and forth then rinse it with hot water so the metal dries. It will look brand new.
