Thank you both for another very enjoyable video of some beautiful country. It’s really good to see the Model T travelling the rough country tracks for which it was originally designed. And even after ten decades its ability to drive these lanes hasn’t diminished. It’s a testament to both you and the car.
Thanks, We really enjoy the T on back country roads and trails way more than on highways. We are new to filming for youtube and do not have footage of some of the places we have taken the T before we started making the videos. We have had it into places, that a lot of folks would only go with a 4 wheel drive. It was made for that kind of roads.
Hello and a very warm thanks from us here in Curaçao, in the Caribbean. We again enjoyed this episode and you are a perfect driver giving the way you handle the T the room to drive through those country roads and yes the T was made for these roads. But you drive also very decent and taking care of your vehicle. The scenery was awesome, we here on our 54” Oled screen enjoy at the most. Good job Kathy , and yes she was tired, but the end result is tops! Thank you Kathy . Merry Christmas and May the lord bless you both!
Love your videos takes me back to the days we would drive the old backroads and enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside. We didn't have a beautiful car like yours but it was always nice to be out and about, sometimes we didn't want to come back home.
Thanks for the comment. The old car gets a workout sometimes. But it will really surprise you as to what it can do. We have had it out on national forest trails where some of the city 4 wheel drive folks have turned around and headed back to the city.
Beautiful car and roads to match. I’m more of a 60’s hot rod kinda guy but I love everything 1930’s and where there’s beautiful machines like yours I love those beginnings from before the wars. The modal T ford is one of those priceless endeavors. I love to own one some day.
Very nice video Donnie. I didn’t even know we had those little low traffic roads around here that actually go somewhere. Beautiful scenery. I enjoyed watching it sitting by the fire as we prepare for a cold night. BC
Thanks Bob. Yes, we have more miles of little 2 track and single track roads than we will ever be able to see, let alone film. We also like to chase all the old remaining Missouri and North Arkansas rail road right of ways that are still drivable. When driving along in a model T it is very easy to imagine and dream about what it was like to ride the train thru this area of the Ozarks back before WW2.
Thanks for subscribing. We are very new to the RUclips thing. We are still learning. Throw some camping gear in your old 49 and head out into the woods and trails. It's amazing what you can see at the slower pace of vintage vehicles. Thanks again ...
Just got to watch. Great video! If you could have drove chimney rock road to bottom of mountain and continue about 1/2 mile you'd run into our old place. We had 30 acres. That's where I spent most of my time growing up.
We have been to the bottom past the Chimney Rocks. The creek has washed out the road so it's not possible to go any further unless on a 4 wheeler. Beautiful area. Thanks for watching ...
Some of the places we go gives the old car a workout. Check out our video of going to Natural Bridge. The climb back out of there required low/low a couple times. Thanks for watching.
What a wonderful video y'all made ! Loved the rock formations up chimney rock rd. and the old train bridge! No one would ever guess that you all are new to this, you seem to be pros already! Congrats on hitting 700 subscribers and your channel taking off like it has! Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 😊👍
My home turf. Beautiful hills but brutal unforgiving and unpredictable weather. I worked on the old church and Mason lodge at Elba on the river that was a town on the same railroad... MN&A stood for Missouri &North Arkansas but it was so bad and so slow people jokingly called it the "May Never Arrive" 😅. An old timer that lived near me by the name of Charlie said he could run across from one town to another five miles at a straight run barefoot over the mountains and beat the train from station to station.
Yes, it is very beautiful here in the Ozarks. Kathy and myself are railroad nuts. We try to explore as much old railroad history that we can. I went to school at Leslie so the M&NA is my hometown railroad. It's average speed was 10 mph. The railroad had ttoo many curves in it to go any faster. We are planning a camp out at Arlburg along the old M&NA when we get the time. Will probably drive down to Elba to the old lodge. There should be other places that you recognize in some of our other videos. Thanks for watching and subscribing.
Thanks for the comment. It would take several hours to just see the Chimney Rocks. There are quite a few of the formations. We still need to try and get together someday.
Thanks for the comment. I have always been a pre-war type of auto guy. But I also have a "dark side"😮 I also have a 33 Plymouth coupe I've had since I was a teenager. It has a 360 cid Dodge engine in it. It's built as a late 50s 60s style hot rod. And then I also have a 1919 Model T race car/speedster. It has all the bells and whistles a pro R 0:08 acer would want in the 1920s. It's running a RAJO 4 valve head. It's capable of 100+ miles per hour if you have the kahoonas to hang with it. I have had it to 85 mph before my brain said what in the he!! am I doing. There was still plenty left if I wanted to unleash it. Now we just like to go camping like my grandparents did. We just did a 3 day 2 night camp trip out in the Ozark National Forest. It should be ready to post in a few weeks. Thanks again.
I have some paint for that fixer upper…. Bout a quart, don’t know the color, color blind ya know…lol enjoyed the video. I can see where the camera person could use a scooter to keep up….“millhog2”
We have been in worse places. During the Model T era the roads in the Ozark Mountains were almost non existant, they were little more than wagon trails. Even today a lot of the county roads can become impassable after heavy rains or winter storms. My grandparents lived in the Ozarks in the Model T era till about WW2. Their stories of how bad travel could be always interested me and is part of the reason we use a Model T to vintage camp with. Thanks for watching
Hi. The car is a 1927 touring. It is a late production car. One of the last Ts. The engine and transmission is stock Model T. Engine produces 20 hp. We need all 20 hp. The entire car is basically stock. There are a few things added for safety. Windshield is now safety glass. We also have added the rear disc brake kit. The kit is a bolt on kit and nothing is modified. To go back stock, just remove the kit. If you watch our video of 3 days 2 nights camping, I talk about an accident we had before the disc brakes were added. The brakes on the car then did not hold and we flipped the car upside down. We drive our car way to much to trust the old brakes so that's why we changed to the rear disc kit. The only other non stock item is we have a 6 speed Warford auxiliary transmission. They were a very popular accessory back it the Model T era. It gives us 6 forward gears and 3 reverse gears instead of the stock 2 forward gears. With 20 hp. the extra gears really help. That's why the Warford transmissions were very popular back in the T era. So other than the disc brakes the car is just like it was back then.
@@donniebrown-mv7hb Thank you for your extended response. Very kind. So, I went to Wikipedia, which I should have done to save you some writing. It says there that the driver of the Model T had to manually set the firing order of the cylinders. Did I read that right? The engine and transmission shared the same oil! Electric start came along in 1919 and was apparently well developed by the time your model came out. There were three pedals. Acceleration was via slider on the dash (?). Wiki says it operated more like a tractor.
Sometimes we do. We have found lots of Missouri and North Arkansas relics when we camp on the old right of way. You have to be careful in National Forest and State Parks. Some places are OK and others are not. The private land owners usually give permission.
No it's not 4x4 but will go lots of places a 4x4 should be used. There is a very rare 4x4 model T era attachment for the Model Ts available, that I have been trying to find and buy for many years. If I ever find one I will convert the car to 4x4. The Model T was designed to drive roads and trails like the ones shown or even worse condition as a stock 2 wheel drive vehicle. The dirt road/trail we are driving on going to and after chimney rocks is actually an Arkansas, county road. Back in the day nearly all the roads in this area looked just like that or worse. Thanks for watching, more to come, as we get time.
Yea, It's a little bit questionable. There are maybe 7 or 8 families living past the bridge. It's the only way in to their farms or homes. Everyone that lives across the bridge usually crosses the bridge at least twice per day. The families with kids in school have to take their kids to school or if old enough their kids drive themselves. The school bus does not cross the bridge. I've driven across it many times. The guard rails are just there just as a "suggestion" . They are barely good enough to hold a person's weight. No way to stop a car. The bridge was built about 1908. The metal structure is still good. It was designed for a train. But it was modified in the 1960s to be used as a auto bridge. I guess the thought of guard rails was not given much thought back then.

Thank you! We love driving the old roads, we get to go at a slower pace. The old roads are getting harder to find.
You make the BEST Model T travel videos! Love the truss bridge footage. Well done!
Thanks, we try.
I admire the T for getting up that rustic path.
Sometimes it is a struggle. The camera never really shows how steep or rough some of the roads and trails get. Thanks for watching..
Beautiful area! Love the rock formations!
Yes, It is a neat area. It would take most of a day to explore the area. Thanks for watching ....
Thanks for all the hard work, greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
That "old" Model T looks and acts NEW to me. Road clearance and power is impressive. Thanks for the enjoyable drive and beautiful scenery.
Thanks for the comment. The old car gets a workout sometimes. But it will really surprise you as to what it can do. We have had it out on national forest trails where some of the city 4 wheel drive folks have turned around and headed back to the city.
Thanks. Probably will be springtime before we get to do another one. It's time for maintenance and sit by the fire for now.

I just discovered your channel, great content. I love that you took that old car out and really put it to the test! Keep it up.
They were meant to use. The old car is more at home on gravel roads and back country trails than on blacktop. Thanks for watching....

Hearing those gears moaning and groaning,
brings back a lot of memories !

I really enjoyed this video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Really nice video!
Thank you very much! We are very new to the RUclips thing. We are starting to work on the next video. We are slow but should be out before too long.

Hi, thanks again. The offer always stands if you and you wife want to travel along with us.
Watched one video and I’m subscribed..!

We probably can not afford a fixer up as nice as that one.. It's above our pay grade😢. If we could afford it, we would almost be neighbors.
Roads look pretty sketchy but you have to remember when that car was built that's what a lot of them were like
