  • Hi guys! Another busy week here as we head to Strong's Garage to install the new engine into the 1926 Ford Model T with Matt& Jim! First we need some numbers, though; how fast do you think a worn-out Model T will do the 1/4 mile? Let's find out! Al & Ash are on the scene to make sure we finish in time, and then we are going for a drive!
    We are very happy to announce our new "Dean's Greasy Flips" beer cozies! Get yours today, as they are a limited edition! Also: We just got in a new shipment of "Same Old Shit" coffee mugs, so get them while they last, haha!
    Oh! I do not have a Telegram account or any bullshit contest going! Do not respond to any of these "contest winner" replies; they are a scam.

    Scott, another magical episode blending Strong's Garage and Cold War Motors to witness the reinCARnation of your sweet T! After much, thought to be long dead highly skilled machine work including recasting Babbitt bearings, reconditioning a nearly 100 year old block, crankshaft, cylinder bores, rebuilding a flywheel magneto etc, etc the T lives with a new heart! I'm sure that Matt + Jim's highly sophisticated reconditioning mechanical rebuilding and transplant techniques would garner a sincere tip of the hat from Drs Christian Barnard, Robert Jarvik and Barney Clark for successfully giving a life extension to a 90 year old! Can't wait for the tire smoking 25 second quarter mile! Great series on the T! High desert Cheers!

    Just finished a James Holland book taking a fresh look at the Normandy campaign. He figures one of the big advantages the Americans & Canadians had (that nobody really thinks about), was they grew up with cars. Majority of young guys in 1944 had probably driven a car, lots knew how to work on cars (as you would in the 30's/40's to keep them going) Teaching them to drive tanks or trucks, no big deal. When they broke in the field, lots knew how to fix them. The Germans, not so much, different culture. They obviously had cars (some great cars, years more advanced than ours & of course they didn't have Detroit supplying their army) but it wasn't like our North American car culture. It was the "T" that started it all, the first mass produced car for the common man. Thanks Henry, you old bugger....& he built & sold the "T" without the gov't shooting all the horses!

    Almost everybody's first car was a Model T. Either they bought one new or bought one second hand. My dad used to talk about them because when he was a kid in the late 1920's and early thirties you could take your pick of them in any junkyard just for the scrap price and with a little tinkering get it running. Many people had love affairs with them, one guy that lived in Peoria Heights Illinois couldn't bear the thought of his beloved T getting crushed during WW2 so he dug a pit in his backyard and buried it. The story came to light in the 1970's when a plumber run into it putting in a new sewer line and one of the old newspapers had covered it when he did it complete with pictures. needless to say when they dug it up there wasn't much left.

    We enjoyed this episode very much. My wife's grandfather was very involved with the T club crowd, CCCA, Glidden Tours, etc., and she grew up around many a T restoration. So much so that when you fired up the new engine she replied, "Yep, that's the sound of a fresh T motor."
    Her grandfather had a 1914 phaeton that he had "resto-modded" with hydraulic brakes and an overdrive. He was able to get it up to 55 on I-4 in order to take part in parades at Disney World.

Also grateful for Scott’s comments about his pursuit of old cars & gravel roads…touching and a reminder of how non existent each are becoming in our day.

    3:15 You really have to put the 1/4 mile time into perspective to appreciate just how fast it really is. Whatever the number is, it is many, many times faster than you can walk and a lot less tiring. It's even faster than a horse walks. The only way to go faster than a Model T is to take the train. Only the train doesn't stop at your house.
    It's like the first modems that operated at like 75 or 150 or later, 300, baud. It's slow as hell compared to today, but faster than getting in your car and driving or taking the bus to where the records are you need to look at.

    One of the unexpected things I found when driving around in a classic car is that they make people happy. I think that is a wonderful thing, spreading some happiness around. For some reason, it doesn't happen with my Corolla. The difference in the noise level with the new drive train is really noticeable. You can actually hear the engine over the rest of the mechanical noise and it sounds more powerful. Can't wait to see the new 1/4 mile run. Mind you, the first one was much better than I was expecting. Great video watching all you guys doing what you do. 😊👍

  • @KiwiStag74
    @KiwiStag74 Год назад +3

    You could hear the difference in the compression when you turned her over the first time on that new engine. The build up for each cylinder starts so much earlier than the old one and she fires with so much more purpose and oomph on each pot, without the rattles of the one that came out.
    It will be a treat to see how the horsepower develops over the break-in period and the new standing quarter? I reckon it will easily get into the 20s and am picking a 28.2s time. It's easily noticed that you are now just speaking to the camera too, so that's just fantastic and although she's still a bit noisy from the road, the rumble-rash in the ears from driving the beasty any distance will not be overwhelming.....well, not to the same extent anyway!
    I was surprised at how nimble the little car is around those potholes, Scott. She dodged them pretty easy and could teach my Triumph Stag a thing or two and save me the repair bills! I am rapt that the new engine has given the T a new lease on life and a much needed boost in the driveability from the trip enjoyment perspective. Maybe Laura will find it easier to drive and may actually enjoy a reprise of her review on the T....but maybe we wait until the interior is done and the road noise is a little more damped down by the new interior and she can get the full effect!
    Either way, it sounds like a big improvement and with a more than 10% increase on her top speed (at time of recording), it bodes well for how well it will travel when everything has bedded in. I look forward to seeing the next instalment on this 97-year-old beauty!
    All the best.

    A hypo original Model T with all them go fast bits please! Run her in with the next 100 years in mind, she'll be doing highway speeds soon enough. You guys looked like a happy crew doing that huge job together, it was fun to watch your gang fix the old girl. You are going to doll it up inside and you'll be driven towards custom paint in order to balance the look. Face it you're smitten and you will constantly be picking up pretty things to adorn your century love while you spend the rest of your life together. It's your canvas maestro.

    The Model T hot start!!! I remember my grandfather telling me about how his T could be 'hot started' just by turning the key. I'd never seen that demonstrated until now!

    The first major road trip in mine, after crawling around the yard in it, was a 110 mile round trip with no spare parts. Just put yer foot down and go . My T was rebuilt by me and ancillary help with new friends over a 14 year period. Last engine trouble I had was every valve from the exhaust on number 2 all the way thru 4 was warped. AND the car still ran and drove. LOL

    Hey Scott! I never thought I would be interested in model T's! Ever since I watched all the episodes of your T project You have a convert. I'm in my 70's so my interest in automobiles started in the 50's. The ancient technology of a 100 year old car didn't interest me back then. Your T is especially COOL! These cars are important history and now I appreciate that. How about a high performance T race car that you and Strong's could collaborate on.

    One must remember, when that T was built, 35 mph was the speed limit on what few paved highways there were.

    Superb episode yet again. I couldn't help but think of you when I found a 1926-27 coupe in a Nebraska barn. The building was so decayed, they tore the shed down around it, and auctioned it right where it had sat since the 50s, still up on blocks.
    Every time I see more of yours, I pine for one. The search is active and ongoing, and I'll know the right one when I see it. I look forward to the tour. Cheers once again to you and all the agents

You were right about the older restorations becoming available as the owners get older and the family doesn't know what to do with the cars... definitely a good bet!
