Super interesting. I didn't realize Ford made a factory Depot Hack. It has lots of tell-tale factoy details and clues; clearly not coach builder built. I suspect there is no similar Model T factory Hack?
@@onewhocollects6781 This might sound daft but how would you go about getting a not new look finish but not rat rod? I figure original paint was shiny when new then quickly dulled/wore. After a few years they would have looked 'used'. How do you get that used look without resorting to "used and left in a field to rot for 100 years but now with some linseed oil on it to preserve the patina' look. My replica of a 1930 car I want to look like well used mid/late 30s car without looking fake but not looking factory new. So my plan is use whatever I can like original paint and use it and let it naturally dull/wear. Modern paints are made to last far longer of course. I don't want fake patina.
Glad I stopped by to see this treasure. Thanks for sharing update.
That is a beautiful machine. Thanks for sharing!
Great to see an original one. Pretty rare.
Beautiful um car.
Very Kool, and entertaining sir.
Another neat video with great info. Thanks for posting!
Nice car.
Beautiful woodie. I’d love to hear more about that storage “drawer” under the 3rd seat.
I believe that was homemade by the owner.
You did a fantastic job... too shiny for me to own, but a beautiful car. Cheers
Nice wagon
I love that car. More model A and T content, please!
Muy bueno!! Saludos desde Argentina

Yep. None that I know of until 1929.
Huckster!
Great work, that's a nice one .
Does it share a front window frame with a slantwindow model A?
No. The windshield frame and surrounding parts are 30-31 straight windshield except the header panel, that's Station wagon only.
What sort of paint do you use? Interesting construction on the body. Simple but practical!
It has an Omni polyester lacquer color coat with a urethane clear coat from House of color.
