    I immediately recognised Paul's car with this dark blue Model A. Great car, drove it in Mafia 1.

    3.3 inline 4...that's a pretty big displacement for a 4 cylinder engine. That's usually on the large end of V6 displacement.

      I bet there's a lot of torque. Super low compression too. Fuel used to be very poor quality so I bet it can run on just about anything combustible.

    Good job Zack, Some folks will say that the Model A is the first modern car. Side note too mention is that this car was driven from California to Texas and back. I’m hoping that Paul and Mrs. T would do a overview of this journey. As you have mentioned Paul is a wealth of information and help.

    That is definitely one beautiful and cool Model A! Nice to see these vintage cars in pristine condition and running.
    Also, I really enjoyed the review so much. Keep up the awesome work, Zack!

    I went to your friend's channel and really enjoyed the installation of the Mitchell overdrive, very cool.

    What a good-looking car. This is probably the only car I've seen with green wheels that look good. Rumble seats are cool if you don't mind getting some sun. I've never heard of a non-convertible soft top. These aren't sophisticated cars but they'll run forever and can be fixed at home. With upgraded brakes you could daily drive one as long as you don't need to go on the highway. You didn't mention that your air conditioning comes from tilting the windshield open.

    So the real window curtain I have the three clips on the inside of the soft top. But they are not the same as the outside clips that turn to lock it in place. Do not seem to be broken but I cannot figure out how to latch the rear curtain up to the soft top. Thanks

      Start with one that was already a Hotrod, these cars have been around for over 90 years at this point and clean ones are starting to become scarce especially sport coupes, most people turned them into roadsters. They aren't rare by any means but nor are basket case Hotrod projects as an example the complete pickup body (fenders, bed, cab, hood exc..) in my avatar was $1800 bucks about a year ago and it was missing the engine, transmission, rear end, front suspension and the frame was already semi-boxed it was the perfect starting point for a Hotrod. I can't speak for anyone but I couldn't bring myself to cut up an original or restored 30/31 pickup.

      @@AtomicReverend I wouldn't cut it up at all I would just update the engine and drive train so its more streetable. I drive all my cars. I have a 72 camaro that is all original, but I installed an ls1/t56. It's carbed so it looks original but it drives like a new car.
