      @@IamBagelOfficial There's actually been studies done on this, and apparently there's some truth to it.
      Cars built during the Depression in particular, were built to last because people could only afford to buy once. It's why EVERYTHING was sturdier & better back then. This degree of engineering carried over into the 1950s vehicles, and most 1960s/70s.
      Farm equipment was even more durable. My grandfather used a 1950s Ford tractor on his farm all the way into the early 2000s, and even then it still ran fine - he just wanted a bigger one (he kept the old one BTW for small chores around the barn). The old tractor was sold after he died, but as far as I know, it's still running and being used today.
      By the 1980s, the economy was booming again so manufacturers could relax on durability (though any 80s or 90s vehicle is still far more reliable than any modern one...particularly Toyota pickups).

    In an ideal world I would be your neighbor and would never leave you to yourself.
    During the Great Depression my then teen-aged father replaced spent crank bearings with perfectly shaped bits of leather. He said they lasted a very long time. Of course they weren't going very far back in those days. He would be a far more useful neighbor than I wouldn't he?
    Very nice video I must say.

    Well done! My father was a Model A guru and I can see you know your stuff. He bought a deluxe coupe in 1964 and took every nut and bolt apart on it. I can remember seeing the engine all laid out on an old bedspread and the body up on barrels. He had a coat hanger coming through the radiator for the choke when he had to crank it. I enjoyed this video because unlike others who put 12 volts to them and leave them shuddering to death in the retarded position while they "warm up", you grabbed that lever and smoothed her right out immediately just like I was taught. My dad would drop that lever when he was showing her off and it would idle right down so slow, ticky- ticky, ticky-ticky, then put the lever back up to smooth her out. Would like to see more Model A content in the future, keep up the great work! And BTW, my cat loves to watch me work also, she's not even afraid of a skillsaw running!

      Cab corners and sills needed to be replaced five years ago to pass state inspection. Now I need to fix the rear wheel arches. They can be rusty, but sharp edges are grounds for failure. I guess they don't want kids cutting their fingers or something.

    I always recommend pulling the spark plugs and adding ATF to each cylinder and letting the starter blow the oil back out. Lubricates and helps stuck rings. You can also use 2 stroke oil in the gas to fog the cylinders and just adds a little protection until you are running and have oil pressure.

    Dam cool there slim! Workin on a 30 chevy coach needs a bunch of wood replacing but we got it! Nery thought there would be that much wood in it using old wood as a pattern where I can. Good thing I have stock making skills on my side😊

    I guess that’s why there’s a tyre fitting on the petrol cap, so you can pressurise it to push it through

    Only complaint is the low audio during the tripod portions where you were furthest from the camera. You were not very loud and sort of muttering.
