Merlin I must say that Quilt was all my wife's idea. I never asked or mentioned anything about it. I was out in my shop working on my Dune buggy one afternoon and she came out and showed me what she was doing. I was impressed. That is her thing. When covid kicked off, I was caught in between trucking jobs because I couldn't get tags for my truck for the new company I was leasing too. Two months I couldn't go trucking. I spent part of that time building her a sewing room in the basement. She has made a bunch of Quilts in the past few years.
I though cars were addictive! We have some quilters in the family and it is quite the addiction and I know the amount of work that goes into one so good of your wife to do that for Merlin. 😂 It looked good what I could see of it.
Ain’t it cool to have a wife that has her cool hobby too…? Good on you for supporting her too. You’re fortunate man.
Wes is lucky to be given such a great education experience.
1 bad ass project after another. Your just throwing them out. This speedster is super cool. Stitched together out of nothing. Kick ass content Merlin 👍
Merlin can build, fix or create anything. So cool watching someone as gifted as he is , do his thing. 👍🏻
Those new front mags on the Model A are fantastical. Well since I ain't nobody else say it I will. Merlin, you are an old world crafstman. A mill A lathe and a desire to create something...BANG...well done.
merlin, i am a 60 year old guy here that has been a car and truck nut from birth, but i dont have the welding, machining, imagining knowledge that you do at all. it simply amazes me how much you know how to do! i mean look around folks! lol,,,,old school gas, new school gas, diesels, airplanes? boats, sandrails, jet skis, you name it. some people are born to love these things, and some people are born with the ability to see it in their mind and also have the ability to fix it themselves. i sure do admire your knowledge, and the time you take to show us what you can do. it inspires a lot more people than you realize i am sure,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,keep em' coming!
Every time I watch your channel, it never ceases to amaze me. I would love a video of your origin story. How did you acquire all the knowledge about building cars from scratch like you do. It's impressive. I'm so glad to whoever convinced you to start a channel. It's better than anything on TV.
he has covered a lot of it over different videos. there was a great one about 8 episodes ago where he did some road triping in his model A i want to say. it was a good one. some of it i dont think he can talk a lot about because of contracts with a tv show he was on for a season or 2 . veagas rat rods i want to say but i may be wrong. but if you find the show and watch his talent there and then watch a bunch of videos on the past here you will hear a lot of it. hope this helps
The hotrod is complete! Those front wheels are perfect!
Merlin, you are in your happy place when you are in your shop. Your fabrication skills are out of this world. Thank you for showing us and teaching us determination.! Awesome Model T !! 😍
Most guys would just throw a set of Model A mounts in there and put an entire Model A motor and trans. You go the hard way and make an adapter to stick a Model A trans on the back of a Model T mill. Dang! Impressive! I'm on your Shopify right now looking around. Well done, man! I'm a year older than you, but you have accomplished more.
It's really cool to see Wes is back. I think it's awesome he is interested in what you do, and to see a young man interested is just amazing. Your legacy will live on. You are an awesome teacher and mentor.
Only Henry Ford could put a car 🚗 together faster than MOSG. And that took an entire factor of autoworkers!
Why is it that when you do something unusual at the house like moving the model T body, you get more traffic on your road than ever before? Happens all the time!😅Really like seeing Wes spend his spring break doing cool stuff like building cars and not wasting his time. Great stuff Merlin!
No precision tools or procedures were harmed/used in this video, good job it was mostly time lapsed so real engineers were spared.
Good Sunday morning everyone. It's time for a old school garage video. Hay and through everything in life in this old wicked world remember Jesus Christ is the answer ✝️💪🙏
Amen, my fellow believer for He is the king of KINGS!!
I wish I had half of your fabrication skills. You make it look so easy.
Love the speedster! Thank you again from Lexington Kentucky.✌️😎
Awesome and outstanding.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
I love this speedster and the fabrication you're doing to make it what you want. Truly a wizard.
Hey Merlin I love your show. We never know what you will build next. You really have amazing skills and talents.
God bless you and yours. Keep up your wonderful work.
I really do appreciate you.
Dave Gimenez
you should hang mirrors of the light bar mounts mate!
It is Good to See You Sir
I consider this one of your best videos ever as a matter of fact It's given this old man inspiration to go back outside and start working on my cars again.
I gotta couple that have been languishing For about a year and once it stops raining here in California I'm gonna be right back at it.
Merlin and Wes also known as Fred and Barney. Another great project from MOSG.
WOW Merlin, you truly are a Majician....
Merlin Johnson, the Magical Model T Whisperer!!!!!
It's always a joy,to watch Merlin,the original OG of fabrication. Thanks for taking us subscriber's along for the ride. You pulled a few rabbits out of your fabulous magic hat,in this video.🪄🪄🪄. Love the channel. Keep up the great work. 👍✌️🤙🤙😎😁🍀🍀🍀🍀🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🪄🪄🪄🪄🏁
Hey Merlin and Desiree! Ron and Crystal here! Thanks for a great video! Story time with Merlin is great too! Good job! Best wishes!
I've been collecting parts and building a T speedster since last summer. The drivetrain will consist of a 76 Pinto engine and auto trans with a 28 A axle. The e-brake lever is used to shift the transmission.
Mother day is coming up that 29 would make a great gift for your wife and great video keep up the good work God bless from GA stay safe
Someone is adding some pretty good music to the videos lately! Nice job!
MERLIN: Saw you talking to Landon at Glamis.....Maybe you could invite Landon down to your place for the day for an apprenticeship on a project.......He has a genuine interest in everything you and Paul are into but he gets very little hands on experience because his dad likes doing everything himself......Food for thought
With that workshop, I think you could make anything you put your mind to. You have land, water, and air covered with more than one vehicle to travel each. And who has a radial engine hanging around their shop. Yeah, pretty much as awesome as it gets. This little speedster is going to be coolness overload. Thanks for letting us hang around.
Hi young Merlin and friends. Walking that body around to your shop so reminded me nearly 60 years ago, I hand-chiselled every hot rivet off my English FORD E93a Popular body to chassis to walk it out myself to the storage area and I got laughed at by some girls - lol I eagerly watch every video of yours as It reminds me of my doings some nearly 60 years ago..I am now 76 years old so have slowed down lots, but I have had a fun-filled life so far. Thanks all. Ian. UK.
Hope Makay is planning on building one as well, be sharp to see you guys cruise around Town together. Bring the sweet rides back to the forefront again.
Omg🤣....@30:00 que Benny hill theme...I bet those cars driving bye got a chuckle.
I HOPE Wes realizes how fortunate he is to be learning under Merlin and McCay! Absorb EVERYTHING Wes !!!! I wish I had a chance to learn under masters!!
I'm lovin it old school style !
OMG, you 3 moving that body looked like an episode of the 3 Stuges...lol
New shirt? Merlins Magic Ride.. The William Kirk powered Model T Speedster. Thanks for the show and tell...
Man Merlin has a dream garage in my opinion every tool or machine imaginable to pretty much do anything or make anything
That speedster looks like it's going to be a lot of fun love it
Merlin, One of the reasons I like watching your channel is because I typically run as a one-man-band as well. It's nice to see someone else getting things done "alone". I recruit help when I really need it as well, but most days it's just me in the shop. Keep up the awesome work.
It’s good to see Wes back helping ya how’s his truck doing has he made any more progress on it
Looking good Merlin It's amazing what you can do with a bunch of old rusty parts and panels put it together and make a car. Not quite there yet but you did get a bit done . Stay safe and healthy.
This man has some skills can build anything he thinks up lol it’s great . All with his own hands it’s great .
Loving this build. Wes is getting a.huge education. 😊😊😊
This looks like a fun "old school" project car! Looking forward to the next episode!
Happy late birthday boss. Keep doing what you do
This video content is about know-how and a fully fitted workshop can give you endless options.
What a cool episode! Your shop has the feel of a friends clubhouse more than just a garage. Thank you for sharing another educational experience
34° here this morning on the front range in Colorado
🙏❤️😎🤙🛻💨
Great editing and music!!.....Really compliments Merlin's expertise well!!......Good job!!
Fabrication, just like work, fascinates me. I could watch it all day. Seriously, the creativity and fabrication skills coming out of Kane County is why I am retiring there soon.
Glad to see you making the adapter on the manual lathe. I’m a Moldmaker by trade and started out learning the machining trade on manual machines. Was in the trade almost 50 years before retiring. Not a lot of use in in today’s shops for manual equipment. Everything is CNC now. Really like watching your videos. Keep it up.
That is going to be one sweet little hot rod! What a motor too! You ain't kidding, it's a hopped up monster compared to the stock T.
Its amazing how Merlin makes everything look so simple. Such an awesome channel to watch.
nice to see young Wes lending a hand, great video as always watching Merlin working his magic, thanks for sharing
Merlin there nothing like taking old parts an make a car out of them a very cool car wow , great job
Did not know you were a machinist in your past life, GREAT work.
Totally Awesome. Just can't wait for the next Merlins old school master pieces video. Thanks for the ride along.
Merlin you have such talent, keeping it old school. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge and experience with us, love your custom builds.
Another Great Day with Merlin and the outstanding Content 👌is great, your machining is very impressive, Looks Another Great Build With Wes
As your sidekick, pretty Cool for you to be able to make time for sharing your experience 👍
And then the WHOP WHOP Man Mackay jumps in , what a Team, now Where's Jimmy
And Brad, Great to see Desiree
Making sure you get your day started
Have a Great Day 👍
Dune Rat is a pretty cool ride…and multi-purpose as well!👍👍
I am mostly into muscle cars, but Merlins bucket rods are interesting projects. Having been in the automotive parts business in Las Vegas for more than 20-years I have done business with Merlin, and all the other custom car builders in this town from Danny, to Steve, Whisky, and Art Goldstrom (RIP).
🙌🔧🔧🔧😊🏁
Sweet blanket! Excited 4 D T project.
Cool Saw your Tiger mini van truck with the fold down sides. My landlord has a silver one just like it with only 3000 miles on it. You should see some of the old cars he has. He has a 1924 GMC K16 flatbed 98% original and it runs and drives. He is selling it for $8,000 on the F-book marketplace. It is cool. He likes showing people how it works whenever people stop over or we have our summer garage sale. He has a 1930's Chrysler 2 door (suicide doors) coupe. there are so many old cars on this property I love living here.
I always wondered what was in that corner of your shop, manual lathe and mill. Nice to see not only that you have them but know how to use them! Great job all around. Love the circus 🎪 music when moving the body by foot!
Always nice to see you building something out of the old parts and pieces! The speedster is going to be awesome can’t wait to see more. Keep up the amazing work and thanks for sharing your work with us!
Merlin I love how you just make what ya need. I’m with ya why waste hard earned money on buying the part if you could have but I’m with ya just make it. I love doing and trying new things and I love anything to do with automotive and carpentry you are the man Merlin love the videos look forward to each one of them
Should have left the bolts on the side so you could have custom mirrors that bolt to it and still be convertible to dune mode! That was Cool and Hope you had a Blessed Birthday, God Bless you and the family during the coming year and Happy Belated Birthday !
Very nice ! 👍
A lot of talent there...
Well Merlin after watching you make that adapter plate you have to give Ol’ Henry (ford) an “A” for simplicity !!
Hot rod model T what could be any better. So cool !!
Look forward to all the videos, I'm planning a road trip this summer to meet Fab Rats, Chad and especially you. We're a lot alike so can't wait til.get the chanceto meet all of you. T is gonna be very cool
Love seeing these old pieces being put to good use and turned into usable art!
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
Merlin makes it all look so easy. Nice work Merlin can’t wait too see it completed
Good morning Merlin and family have a great day 👋
I can see another masterpiece in the making.
Merlin does everything with ease. Got so much experience.👍🏼🤙🏼💪🏼
The birthday bash was awesome Merlin hope u had as much fun as I did watching again happy birthday 🎈
Always something exciting at MOSG! Great content.
This kinda takes me back to my youth, lol. Different uncles & friends of the family, screwing around in sheds, workshops & barns, trying to fix whatever was broke, or needing to be made... Sure glad you're passing on those lost skills, cause over the last half a century so much has faded away... Makes me giddy to see some old memories brought back to present! Thanx !
I’m enjoying the time lapse of the lathe work and the music fit nicely, thanks for a nice way to start my morning.
Man I love the stuff you build Merlin just love your channel!!!
During my many trips (TDYs) while in the USAF, my favorite was going to Fairbanks AK in March. It was 60 F below 0 on arrival. We worked outside on the aircraft for six weeks. It had warmed up to -40 by the time we left. I loved it up there, despite the cold.
Merlin: such a pleasure to watch you transform "junk" into a piece of modern sculpture. Brings back memories of the 50"s for me in Northern California. T Buckets were becoming the rage for hot rodders, Flat heads, oldsmobile, and buick engines. What a great time of life! Thank you for sharing your considerable talents with us. God Bless
Merlin
You are definitely a rare gem 🧐
Thanks for all your knowledge
You are definitely a MacGyver on the run
Wes will learn a lot from you
Wes is in grasshopper stage and he couldn’t get a better mentor
I just got 2 1/2 feet of snow yesterday I’m kind of like in your weather right now🤪 i’m a lot older than you and I sure as heck hope I see a lot more of your videos stay out of the hot sun😂👍✊✊😎😊
Great project, Merlin! Always surprised by what you come up with to build next. I love the "old school" technology you implemented to bring the body into the garage. Can't wait to see the rest of the build!!
Good morning another a great day in Seneca Rocks W V
That thing needs to be the green like you put on the give away bug, but in a satin. That would be a cool color for it. Can’t wait to see it done.
Can't get over how small this car looks. Keep thinking it's going to be like a Hi HP Go-cart. Nice work guys & thanks for sharing
Sit back and watch the MAGIC happen at Old School Garage!!
"Double Nickles at Glamis" was a giant fun fest (even for those of us who couldn't be there).
Definitely a birthday you will never forget😉
So much knowledge between your ears, Merlin!! Thanks for sharing your expertise with us...🤠
Safe travels, friend ❤❤
Stay FROSTY...
Keep your powder dry and your head on a swivel...
🇺🇲🇺🇲WWG1WGA🇺🇲🇺🇲NCSWIC🇺🇲🇺🇲
All respect Merlin, for what you do by hand and with your machines, and what's more, such old vehicles, some of which are over 100 years old, are a rarity.
Greetings from Frankfurt, very nice video and stay healthy. Gerold
Sorry I am still playing catch up but I love your videos. You always have something cool and amazing the work you do. I especially love when you do the older cars. Just amazing!!!!
Cool project!! Simple & unique!
Your channel is always interesting you always have something new.
One thing I remember my Dad talk about fitting a Chev 4 gearbox to a model T, only problem they discovered was if you missed the gear in the Chev box you had no brakes! I think they could have done was fit the whole Chev rear end, that would fix the brake problem. Ted from Down under.
Very nice machining and fabrication.
Outstanding work💯
Man you made this look easy! Once again taking nothing and creating a masterpiece! Can't wait to see the new ride! It's already looking good! Loving the content and just seeing you do you! Not often do we get to witness a mad scientist in their lab breathing life and pouring liquid gold emerging a few days later with wicked projects. Definitely a Craftsman from a different era! Much respect for your get it done additude!
