- A 1928 Model A Ford had been the beloved car of a much-loved father. By having it restored the family resurrected both the car and his memories.
The work was done by the crew at Wheels of Time, in Pine Plains, NY.

I would be so proud of that car. The heritage, memories.
Enjoyed this very much, especially the unveiling at the end. I purchased my 31 Model A one year ago from a gentleman who had owned it for over 65 years. I now drive it every day, in all weather-these are great cars!
That classic old Ford is beautifully done and you guys have excellent taste in music.
Good
Beautiful work, the car is brand new now. But what a wonderful women , with mother and daughter keeping their hair in a natural colour,: I really appreciate to see smart women that don’t want to hide their age with useless tricks! Even because my mother was the same,: natural but with care.
Well done , nice to preserve history , Henry Ford built great cars back then .
Beautiful work!
Thanks! It was a very special project.
The hours and hours a hand work that go into a restoration of this caliber are documented in this video. Nice job.
Thanks! Sorry to be so late in the reply, but I don't check myYT mail enough, as you can see.
Great Video Friend Great Restoration
Thanks! I'm wondering about doing an update. The car is still around, only about 1/2 mile from muy house!

nice job
The moth ball smell will never go away.
Mike, it depends on the condition of the vehicle at the start and to what level you want things at the finish. Twenty to sixty thousand is probably a good range.
such high tech tire changing machinery...
We used to do the same thing. Broke beads by running a car over the tire or with a bumper jack, two big screwdrivers to get the tire off the rim. You can do a lot when you're poor, lol. We had a bubble balancer too and it balanced the tires just as good as any of those computerized things they have now.
I love the 1:00 mark area. There was a lot of dents so we didn't fix it. We just coated the whole area with a lot of filler. Please tell us the address so I don't go there.
hammer dollies and some lead is what it needed
im currently doing a ground up restoration on my dads 30 sport coupe. would be nice if the replacement panels were made with a bit better quality than what they are. for what they cost.
It is a piece of art! Well done! What is the rock music that you played at some time?
Thanks and I'm glad you enjoyed it. To tell the truth, I did not pick the music, but just let whatever was playing in the background come through because what those guys chose .to work to is part of the story!
What color exactly is this color? Niagara Dark Blue
roughly how much does a restore like that cost a person?
Easily $20-k - $60-k
where is the car now?
Some people may not believe it takes over 20k to do this. True, a hack job will cost less and look like just that. By the way, the landau bars are upside down.
That's not to say that you shouldn't buy one if you can't afford 20K though. They don't all have to be museum pieces. Heck, I'd be just as happy with one that looked like Jed Clampett's, lol.
Easy $20-30k to make a hot rod.... Can't imagine what this would cost to do, but so worth it!
Damn she's a talker
And it's all done to good old country music. No wonder it turned out so good. But don't tell me he hand sanded every spoke of every wheel. That's going a little too far. Sport Coupes are nice but I sure do appreciate that quarter window behind the door on a regular coupe.
Jim, I hope you noticed the band-aids on his fingers from all the sanding! I did not pick the music. Tha's were playing. A bit of country makes good mechanics!
Maybe this video was made before rubber gloves were available for all that manual labour.
Weeedoggie!
Ok, so I watched more and apologize. They were super picky about the rest of the car. Not so bad after all. I just have to slow down on the beer. Sorry.
Thanks for the correction! They are pretty careful about too much Bondo!
