90 years old , runs and drives, that's a golden time capsule Brent , thanks for sharing ... i doubt that one day in the next century , someone will see that with todays cars ...
This one brought a big smile to my face.
You might be missing that the mixture is controlled by turning the choke rod .....
don't forget the lead additive when using unleaded gas. Awesome barn find and great to see it running and driving. Thanks Brent for the video!
The A was from before lead was used regularly in gasoline, I'd ads a couple oz's of Marvel Mystery Oil to a full tank & run with it...
Great video, love the original survivor cars.
Yes, a time capsule!!! A simpler time in automotive history...
I enjoyed the ride along!!!!
Cool car!!!!!
Took my favorite, with the dump bed 👍
Hello Brent, what a nice A. Really great condition and running as well. Awesome find. 👌 Would like to see it again when your buddy has it restored. Take care 👍
What a great car. They sure don’t make them like they used to. They best part is you didn’t need any fancy fandangled equipment. Another great video thanks for sharing.
Great video, very educational on everything you to know about trouble shooting starting a Model A or early Ford car or truck. I just never stop learning watching your videos. You made made your friend one happy guy and what a find he found, solid car. Great drone work also, take care my friend
What a beauty! She brings back so many memories. Back in the late 60's you could pick up what today we call a barn find for $5.00 and a lot of us used to spend our days doing exactly what you guys did in this video just to have some fun and cheap transportation. Back then at .50 cents per hour that was a day's pay to play. Thanks for taking us along guys. A very enjoyable video.
😂
In 1970 I passed my driver's license test in my dad's 1930 model A coupe, I think the testing guy was just enjoying riding around in the car, and didn't have me do much other than drive around the driving course. I guess he thought if I could start and drive the car I should have no problem with a modern car.
A definite way to make sure you kept under the speed limit lol.
What a gorgeous car, the footage at the the end ,cruising down the country lanes , epic
Nice work boys.
Be strong Brent ,God bless you because you had always give all of your subscribers known and being happy with your laughs and action.
Two shows today ! All good.
Gotta love it! Nice little change of pace, great video, and thank you! As always, all the best and God bless! Can't wait to see what's around the corner.
What a sweet ride. Who among us wouldn't have enjoyed that ride. Be well.
Back in 1992 I bought a 29 model a tudor sedan out of a wrecking yard It had been kept under a canvas for almost 30-year or so. I started up after some TLC. The parts for these are common OEM or aftermarket. They are fun to build, you will need to box the frame if you upgrade to a small block. I put a Stroked 302 in mine and a ford 9-inch read end. Even the wire harness is available. They are cheaper to modernize then to keep OEM.
Love these old Ford four cylinders, they are so dirt simple you can work on it with a pair of pliers and a screwdriver. A buddy has one and I love to tinker on it. It's a oasis for my mind after spending the day working on today's cars with their computer systems and CANBUS communications.
When I was 11 my older brother had me slaving away under his $10.00 1931 model A Ford -
told him if he ever wanted to sell it, I would buy it.
He sold it to a stranger for $15.00 without even telling me until a week later.
I still loved him, but WAS pissed off a while.😁
👍🇺🇸😎
Oh, there's Brent, click like and then watch
always!
And subscribe.. 😀
Always, I like Brent’s videos by default.
Brent, nice to see the old girl going down the road! Sure looked like you really liked the Air- Conditioning! Hahaha 😆. Any plans for paint?
Brent, nice to see the old girl going down the road! How did you like the air-conditioning,hahaha! Only thing I seen was the absence of Pablo, the shop foreman,give him a rub on his head! 👋 Any plans for paint?? God bless, jim
This is what friends do, help out your buddy when he calls. You’re a good friend Brent.
Glad to see a hot rodder enjoying a stock Model A 👍
PLEASE don't butcher it! Restore it top it's original beauty.
Bent you give me chills and at the same time tears today. I see my father working on the same car again what a great experience and I have never seen two guys smile so much Thank you for sharing with us
That is in remarkable shape!
Wow,another old iron back on the road, an what great shape its it ,damm, friends helpin friends out ,what a gift car people are, damm cols ride but those laughs an smiles says it all.tks fir sharin as allways Brett
Wow, I would love to get one of those in that as found condition. I'm usually pretty good on the prep for a first start. It is a great feeling when they run good after long storage.
That thing is mint. Keep it as is. Very cool ride
Good show could get the smile off my face
Normally you need to open the gas valve a turn to start. That is the choke rod. Good job fellas. Nice to see another one running again.
I was completely surprised on how well it ran when it started up
Wish I could find one of those before I get to old to do stuff like that... Been looking for years but they are always out of my price range... Don't see "Old Cars" just sitting around looking for someone to give it a good home, Anymore... Love seeing an "Old Car" cruising down the road again... Wish I had one.... If wishes were horses I would have a cattle ranch... LOL...
Thanks for taking us along. As stated below, the occasional update on this car please? 8^)
Late 1931. Fuel cutoff valve and strainer are on the engine side of the firewall.
What an excellent blend ! Drone shots of a cool 1930 model A!🇨🇦👍
It is a 1930. It has short aprons spot welded to the front fenders , a heart shape instrument panel & a 30 grill shell.
31's also had a dimple for the fuel filter on the firewall, this 30 don't.
Early 31's did not have dimple in firewall!
1st of all great video. 2nd it's a Model A ,they just run.3rd the area your in is beautiful with the farms and fields. Great place to run your favorite A .Hope to see more videos on the old girl.Please don't hot rod her.She needs respect for being 93 years young .Thanks again .D.J
What a nice car , I always wanted one of them
Great video wonderful job on the filming
Awesome! It’s amazing how low those early motors idle down. Nice to see it going down the road.
What a beautiful car. You don't find em like that very often. Most of the time they've been chopped and hot rodded. It's cool to see an all original one like that.
Nice Model A. Looks great going down the road, only thing missing is the pin-stripe suits and Felt hats and maybe a machine gun or two. :)
So cool!❤ i had here in germany a two door Sedan 1931 !
Pretty neat old rig. That was cool to see. Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed watching ✌️ 😎
Cool beans...every one doesn't have a talent for engines like u Brent. And great to have pals like u sir. Good job
Beautiful car!
The Sedan looked pretty good --- could not see any bad rust anywhere --- Did he have a 12V. battery in there? Sure turned over very fast for a 6V. --- Your countryside always looks so good. ---- Thank you for the trip ---- Rodney
Yeah he converted it over to 12 volt
It's sad to see them changed to 12v when just dropping in an 8 volt battery gives the same result without changing anything else .
Pretty easy fix. Fire and the fuel. Got it going. And a maiden voyage. Great video Brent. 💯
Love the old A's and T's, such a cool piece of automotive history!
It is an early 1930, given the oval speedo.
U can really tell that u luv that car u were smiling from ear to ear
I just love seeing those old cars back on the road again. I would so love to have one, they're just always way too far out of my price range.
Maby you can find one of your budget non stop search, america is to big
Hi Brent.... did the distributor get oiled?... both upper and lower bushings need oil.... also on the choke lever there is a mixture setting, rotate the nob about 3/4 turn counter counter clockwise to richen the mixture for a cold start
That’s one sweet ride Good job Brent .Keep up the good work
Don't forget the oiling point on the distributor guys.... before every run.
Well I have to put my two cents worth in. As complete as that car is and as good of shape it is in. If it were mine I believe I would keep it stock and just put a paint job on it and any interior work needed and drive it as a historical piece of history. Not necessarily a full frame off restoration but a mechanical restoration as needed, and get everything working. I would paint the car in a color combination that would have been representative of the time. It's a cool car, fifty three years ago a fellow one class behind me in high school had one and he drove it back and🥸 forth to school and it would spin the tires
Great condition considering the age of the vehicle. Way to go!
Thank you guys so much for the memories of familes and friends. My dad and I laughed and enjoyed the simply things. Thats how we became mechanics and engineers today. Plus knew how to use logics to solve problems.
What a sweet little ride but he's got to learn to turn off the key when it's not running or he better keep a good supply of points, nice work on getting him going Brent
Very cool old girl
Back in it's day I could see it running moonshine & out running the cops.
Just for giggles.
👍👍🇦🇺😎
Positive to Ground
I'll have to drive by and see if I can find this place, Steinbach is where my wife's family lives.
And she runs and drives, maybe not like it was new, but the old gal lives still. A great video with a happy ending😏
Great video
Nice to wrenching again
I hope they remember that the stock model A is 6 volt positive ground.
now this is just awesome!
Nice car. Always great getting it going
Great motorized carriage!
That was a sweet old ride. It's amazing is that old and it's still runs. Good job. He did a great job on it. 👍👍🇨🇦🙂
Nice brother
So good to see a model A back on the road. 👍
That was a lot of fun to watch. Can you imagine back when they came out, there probably weren't any around them parts of the country, and most everyone around there would have still been using horses.
😮it's not a model T! There were lots of car manufacturers in 1930!
Who said it was a model T? The title says model A.@@danesderelicts
@@johnb5519 I was referring to your comment. When the model T first came out it was a pretty rare sight. By the time the model A came around cars were alot more popular. Horses and buggy days were done.
I guess so, but out in the country, and even in the cities, they still used horses for deliveries.@@danesderelicts
Top o'the world, Ma!
I guess it was a plaintiff’s attorney that caused gas tanks being moved from your face to the rear of the car.
Besides at the Henry Ford Museum, I have never seen such a complete car from that era.
Awesome looking car ….
That Ford is real nice shape….no rust nice video
The truck looks wicked going down the road. It must have been tough getting by Pablo to go to your buddies place..lol...the 30 looks cool..good luck with combustion 🐾🍺
you can tell this is there first time working on a model a
Isnt that just awesome? Another one on the road. I cant get enough of this stuff! Thanks for introducing us to Red as well. You did say Red, correct?
That one is a perfect candidate for a paint job too! Some satin black, and distress it some. Hope to see it in my travels this summer.
Haha it's Brent also.
@Halfass Kustoms I thought you called him Brent, and right before that I spotted a red International L or R-130 1950-54 2 piece rear window 9'2" box parked by the garage. I am on the west beach of Lake Agassiz with a few old binders. You guys have inspired me to see if I can drive my all original 35 chev truck this summer. It hasn't been run for quite a while.
It is a 1930, first half of the year, pre-june.
This is an absolute GEMSTONE.
PLEASE don't repaint the car , it's most beautiful as it is .
Patina at its best.
That was fun. Mine was in a barn for 60 years, think I'll give her a kick.
That thing is running smoother than owl sh-t there now !
Any mechanics with long beards are very brave men.
Cool car! Great to see a couple of mates working on a car and then driving it. Snow and all!
That's a cool car. glad you got it running and driving.
Now that is what a real gangster car looks like 👍
Awesome
Taking a break from the 35 Dodge eh. Beautiful old Model A. Cheers
For such a old car it looks pretty complete, and fuctional. The motor sounded real good. NIce find. Thanks for sharing this with us Brent.
Awsome! I have no idea where such beauties are hiding in this world?😉 in my country a 20 years old car is eaten by the rust... Anyway! I got a cylinder head for that engine! Came out from the soil in Poland! Which is interesting. Thanks guys you are great.
Great pleasure in hearing an old engine in its original condition come back to life.
Model A's are a ton of fun! I have a 1928 ccpu that I've been working on and driving for the past couple of years. A lot of the rattling can be sorted out, steering 2 tooth box rebuilt, and they become a real blast to drive!
Love it
Gotta love those old cars, so simple to work on. I just imported a 67 econoline pickup from the USA, so easy to work on. Great video Brent. 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍
Positive ground.
Oh the stories that car could tell….🤔
Great job.!!!
