I always appreciate when people bring some life back into these old vehicles. Its too bad some people put these cars out to rot. I have never understood that. Thank you and good luck in your restoration process.
Nice car, lucky man. I've always heard of this business of priming the engine and the just turning on the ignition and the engine just jumps into life but I've never seen it. Nice job, well done.
Don’t be afraid to put some paint on that engine. I use a satin black that looks better than glossy. Also .. you are running rough. I think you need to adjust gas mixture in the carburetor by the needle valve. That is adjusted by the rod on the firewall. Start out rich for starting (anti-clockwise) and then turn clockwise to lean it out for smoother combustion.
Soak those would spoke wheels in water and they’ll tighten up. My grandfather said they used to drive them into a stream and let them sit for a while to swell up the spokes just like they did wagon wheels.
So cool! I have been helping a lady from our church with an estate sale and they have a 1925 model T touring car. In very restorable condition. I found the outer head light glass in the shop and one was really blueish.... they even have a second engine and tyranny to go with it. Several extra wheels too. I have no idea how much to ask for it either. Since you live in Washington State and I live in Oregon, what can I expect to get out of a decent Model T? Thanks. I have really enjoyed your videos.
The official FORD name for this model is the runabout. I would replace the spokes but this car is in excellent shape. It looks correct and original for 1924. Starters were added to the car in 1918. They were optional before that.

Congrats, that's a really nice unmolested T

Free start! Woohoo! That is a sweet ride. Fantastic condition. Great video introducing the car.

Sounds pretty healthy!
Yes, the muffler was also rusted out, I put a new one on today so it is quieter now.
Like your channel especially as i have just completed 1924 tourer. Good to see your process and hope to see more videos

Are you still Tinkering with that T? Haven't seen any videos in... too long.
Why are you so scared ? Model T does not bite, it only kicks a bit sometimes, and you will have learn it, that you are the boss !!
Where are the new videos? We need some more T videos.
Clear glass turns purple because of manganese used until divert for the Great War 1914-1918.
Can you guys do video on a Chevy truck 1918 to 1922
People must have mental issues or inbreeding issues to let a irreplaceable vehicle sit to rot as yard art ..
