    Total work of art my man.... my Dad started with one of these roadsters ran moonshine from Kentucky to Georgia in the 30s he was 16 years old , he said he had to feed the entire family somehow , then he got a 32 Coupe , made enough money to pay cash for brand new 1934. He drove the 1934 to Cincinnati and got a real job....

    Nice to see you are letting the old girl age gracefully, she's not one for lipstick, just clean out the arteries and she's ready to dance some more. Great display of old school radiator know how.

    I have my Dad's 1931 Coupe that he purchased and did a "driveway" restoration in 1965 and sold to me for $1 in 2014 before he passed away in 2016. He did install a reproduction radiator back in the late 1980's and it's still working good.. He taught me a lot about the Model A.. Good to see a Dad and son video working on grandpa's Model A!! Thanx for showing what it takes to re-core a Model A radiator.

    Just give it s nice make over and you will have something to tell and give your grandkids something to very proud. If it would of been mine I would bring it back to his original condition, what an outstanding and impressive well done job with that radiator, congratulations, from the endless summer paradise Puerto Rico Jesus Torres.

  • @robertmalley7364
    @robertmalley7364 3 года назад +8

    Please double clutch a Model A. Especially if you are down shifting to low gear. Never speed shift, just gently move shift lever to each gear. That pickup is absolutely beautiful! You did an outstanding job on the radiator.

    My uncle has a few model A's and a model T in different conditions some have been restored and others are all original and we go driving every sunday when it's nice out. The hardest car to learn to drive was the model T if you never drove one before it's totally different then a normal car and even the Model A's

  • @johnsecord9697
    @johnsecord9697 3 года назад +6

    A wonderful car. Grandpa would be proud of the newly recorded radiator. You need to learn how to double clutch so that the gears don’t crunch every time you shift. Thank you for the detailed video of the recore. I am almost done rodding out an old Model A radiator and you showed me how to put the top tank back on. Thanks again.

    • @benkanobe7500
      @benkanobe7500 3 года назад +1

      Agree. Double-clutch up and learn to time third to second and folks will think you have syncros! First is just to get moving then into second right away.

  • @garysmith5781
    @garysmith5781 2 года назад

    Cool to think, the last guy who messed with that radiator was more than likely the guy who put in, on the assembly line back in 1929..

    You do a dandy job on a radiator, but oh my ! You need some schoolin’ on shifting the ole girl! I drove all kinds of A-bones growing up, even plowed snow with a cut-down for many years and I never made that many nasty sounds when shifting!
    Good job on keeping your faithful A cool! Enjoy!

    40 years ago I knew a fellow in Napa California that had a 1929 Ford model A roadster pickup. It had a 1934 Ford model C 4 cylinder engine with a Christie OHV conversion on it with dual Chandler Groves 2 barrel cards and a Malloy distributor. It had a 39 trans with Zephyr gears in it. Don't remember what rear end it had. Probably had juice brakes. The owner of the car was killed about 15 years ago and I don't know what happened to the car.

    @jimmydolittle5479 3 года назад +1

    Great video but you are rushing when shifting up making the gears clash, you should double clutch or just hesitate about 3 seconds after shifting to neutral then shift up and when shifting down you should put the clutch in go to neutral let the clutch out and while the clutch is out tap the accelerator push the clutch back in then shift down and the gears will not clash. Watch some videos on how to and you will get the hang of it. Happy Model A ing : )
