I love model A's not too expensive, all parts easily available (once the pandemic shortages are over) and easy to work on. I would love to see more videos.
More Model A videos please! Nice work Steve.
When I was a kid on our farm we had a model A Ford good to hear one run again . That was back in about 1956 I would have been 6 years old then.
More, please. These cars are not so different from today's, just so much simpler. That simplicity is their attractiveness. Thank you for all your videos. 32
Such a well preserved and wonderful piece of motoring history definitely deserves more attention on this channel.
Thank you for sharing. I bought my 28' Model A Roadster a year ago. I'm 71 and time to start spending down. Love it !!! I feel like Jay Leno every time I drive it. Stangers always toot, wave, and give a thumbs up. Always makes me smile.
"Pull the entire floor up", wow sounds like a big job......3 seconds later, job done. I love the videos with Steve messing with old cars.
Such delightful simplicity. Everything's visible and identifiable. They've barely managed to put anything in the way of removing anything else. That's a handsome machine. Clean out the fuel tank and give it a wash and polishm and it's ready to roll. (Well, maybe after a look at the brakes.)
My dad was driving a used 1928 four year old Model A just like this one when he first met my Mom. Please show more of your work on this car.
Steve, These are your best type of Videos! Please continue with their model A series! Removing that gas tank should be fun!
More videos please! Beautiful simplicity and solid build quality have ensured the survival of this wonderful car.
Yes please, Steve. This was delightful and I'd love to see it trundling down the road.
As I'm watching your video my wife overheard from the other room she said he sounds like a teacher, like she kind of understood what you were talking about. Keep up the good work Steve I want to see more videos of the old Ford

That's awesome!
I used to have a Model A living in my garage. It belonged to a friend and she eventually sold it. We swapped out the cast iron fuel strainer for one with a glass bowl. The cast iron one was rusted up. With the glass one, you could easily see what the fuel looked like. The bolt on the end of the carburetor that you pointed to is another strainer. You may have to clean the fuel tank. That's a big job because the tank forms the top of the cowl. As others mentioned, parts are readily available. I think NAPA still carries the spark plugs. Bratton, Snyder, and Mac are the big online parts sellers. Good luck!
would love more videos of this car. Amazing how simple the engine and electricals are.
Top tip. Always use an open hand when trying to shift something difficult with a wrench. That way if it suddenly gives or slips you won't skin your knuckles. One from my old dad years ago 👍
I was impressed how original it is. I owned Model A’s in the 60’s & 70’s. Good to see it still running.
I really like the way you work on cars, you are very clear and methodical. The model A is a cool old girl and in surprisingly good condition.
Yes, please continue with the Model A. Great automobile.
Great seeing the Model A and your methodical approach to making it run. Good call not to use the gas tank for fuel. How are you going to clean out the tank? As I recall they are a real bugger to do. Paul Shinn would be a good person to contact. Yes, I do want to see more of this type of stuff. Well done so far!!!
More please. Love your channel. I envy your amazing knowledge of cars.
After you found the problem, the engine started easily, the good old days!
Looking forward to watching you undertake the repairs and your clear explanations. Thanks. Joe
Every "will it run" video is a must-watch and a masterclass for me - many thanks from Manchester UK, keep 'em comin'!

Many thanks!
My Grandfather owns a yellow 1927 Model T roadster. No clue if it runs but he owns it and has joked around it being my first truck but he has done that with most of his grandkids to my knowledge.
Definitely! She sounded nice, and wanting to go!
Such a great shape 😀 - and engine noise too - looks like it'll be a lot of fun 👍
Love it. If you had a Steve Starts’em Satuday, you’d have cars lined up all the way to Des Moines!
WOW! what a nice old car! Yes please let's see more on this one
The metal bulb on the firewall is not a fuel shut-off. It is a fuel strainer. The shut-off is under the dash on the inside, right under the tank.
Once you get her running and drivable, watch out for the 'Death Wobble' that could mean it is time to do the king pins. - Proud owner of a 1929 Tudor
That is so cool, so simple and easy to work on, and started with just a little TLC. I can't wait to see it drive! Great job as always, I love you little surprised look when it first fired!!!
Love the simplicity, I grew up with a farmall cub, but at least that was neg ground, lol. My son has it completely torn apart, we'll have to see how it comes back together... Most certainly enjoy all your work, no matter what side of the big pond they came from. Thanx !
Yes to more Model A progress.
What an absolute beauty of a car. I would so love one of those - maybe even as a daily driver. We just don't get them in the UK as easily or as cheaply as the US any more.

And yes, I would love to see more on this car.😍
Doesn’t appear to need more than a little spit and polish (besides the gas tank work) to be road and cruise-in worthy. Gotta love the simplicity.
Cool car Steve, excellent content. Look forward to see you drive this down the road 👍
lovely to see it run, more of the model a please
Let's see more of the Model A!
Model A's never had an air cleaner from the factory. It was aftermarket. Sometimes the leaking carb would cause gas to accumulate in the aftermarket filter. A backfire would then catch the car on fire.
So nice to see you work on a American Classic ! love to see more
Hey Steve! Absolutely wanna see more! Loved the dry humor about the red wires..😆. Cya on the next one Steve!
I think it's mildly astonishing that something so complex made nearly a century ago is still in any fit state! I'd love to know what all those weird pedals and controls do, so please do a car review once it's running and stopping again.

It could still be used as a daily driver, it was that good.
Id love to see this one turn into something extra nice!
Love it! More videos please!
yes to both
For sure I like it
MORE!!!
More Please.
Def' need more of this sweet sounding Model A ! :)
Really cool!
Fantastic, a little bit of a bodge here and there made it run so well done Steve . Probably a wise move not to use the tank. I have to say it did surprise me that there weren't more wires that were 'toast' but that is a bonus I think. Thanks Steve very good condition model A. It will be on the Road in no time. Don't forget your goggles I think they are mandatory 😷.👍👍

The dashboard and the cowl are completely separate looms so something wrong with one does not affect the other.
More please
That was a GREAT video!
