Mike seems like one hell of a guy.. especially carrying on his son’s legacy for helping out other children. Great video as always, and definitely looking forward to watching the creativity flow 🤙🏻

God bless Uncle Mike. Poor guy was on the verge of tears after talking about the charity.

I am french. All i can say is that car is really beautiful, you are very lucky to find this one, i love american old cars.

The dream hotrod bod, comming from a chevy guy.

Im a Ford lover, when you bring that one back to life, it will definitely be a show stopper. Great video

Insane find, Congrats dude.

Looking forward to what is to come of it!

Damn cool car! Muncle mike seems like a super chill dude

My dream ride!

If your going to drive it around with the 4 banger, don't fill the radiator to the top, because it will overheat, just fill it about 1.5 inch down from the top. Cool car.... this should be fun.

That’s dope. Getting rare these days.

Thats why an all unmolested auto should stay original and not hot rodded. There’s enough junkers out there to build a rod.

I would keep it all original but what ever you decide to do to it, it’s going to be awesome! Great find!

Really cool find, my grandfather emigrated to the US and worked in the Ford plant in Detroit just before your car was made. He was a cabinet maker / woodworker. Seeing all the interior wood on your car, it all makes sense now. He moved back to Scotland when the depression hit.

Mike sounds like a great guy, i could listen to more of him

So stocked for this project !!!

Keep it stock ! It’s too nice as is

Absolutely agree.

Congrats. Can't wait to see how it is going to turn out. Maybe next time you can show us what you got in mind for this beauty. Good Luck.

Welcome to my neck of the woods not much out here but the scenery is nice I’m building my sportster and it definitely got inspired by watching your videos thank you🤘

Damn man, what a great find, the perfect donor for what ever you want to make it, whatvever it is I know its gonna be cool, Cheers brother🍻

Excellent! 👍👍

Ha! I have a couple of Hot Wheels from MuncleMikes!

That’s amazing! Can’t wait to see the shining finish of it!

Top project. My life vicariously through you. Lot's to chew on with this one though. Time and dedication needed. Good for the channel though. Hot rods hold the only interest for car work.

Looks like the Stanley statue on Disney’s Cars movie

I envy you Bro !very nice project !👍🏽💪🏽👊🏽

Badass

This is a killer find! Its in amazing shape. I wouldn't be surprised if Jay Leno doesn't reach out to you to get his hands on this before you start working on it lol! Nice stuff!

that's so cool foundation Mike so awesome. can't believe 96 years working huh, waiting to see transformation

Tenho certeza que ficara lindo, voce e muito caprichoso, mas nao se esqueca, uma patna dessa nao tem preco, a naturesa trabalhou por 90 anos, parabens pela aquisicao. Uma bela peça para um rathod.

My First time in the US, back in 2015, My first destination was Burbank, to see Hollywood Hot Rods. Right next door was Old Crow Speed Shop. Some really cool stuff on both. Wish I could come and visit again. That was the only time I came really close to those kinds of machines. The stuff I was only able to see on Magazines and Discovery Channel. More Power! Alway looking forward to your videos.

Damn, you even get to drive it on the trailer...what a treat!👍 EDIT: wow, I missed that you're in San Jose...you lucky dog, there's nothing in the area, that's a frickin' score, all the steel looks good, the thing even runs...congrats!🎉

Very cool Ford. I love watching your videos, it reminds me of living in Southern California. I really miss it out there.

Impresionante ese Ford, tienes trabajo a reventar y seguro que me lo voy a pasar bomba viendo el proceso en tus videos. Saludos from Spain🍻

Glad to see you doing a hot rod love then old 5 windows ok buddy thanks for sharing have a great family and fun wensday ❤❤❤

Good new proyect!!! Beautiful but sad history of Mike, grand man!!! ✌🏻

Sure is nice for an unrestored A. To me it seems that the leatherback coupe would make more sense as a restored car or something close to restored. A 30-31 would be easier to make into a hot rod as you would have less wood in the top and none of the leatherback stuff to figure out. If you are interested in the traditional old school flathead V8 hot rods there is a book called "Building a Traditional Ford Hot Rod" by Mike Bishop and Vern Tardel that would be helpful if you are not familiar with old Ford parts and interchangeability. Even if you decide to go the Chevy v8 route there are probably some useful ideas to be found in this book.

@@LNSPLTBLVD not to mention i only get to work on it like once a month for a few hours so its slow progress most of the time but i thoroughly enjoy it

I believe the old coupes were cut into making them a pickup truck because of gas rationing laws at the time. Pickup trucks would get more gas. I just bought myself a 1930 Model A like 3 years ago and did a little research on them. Mine is way worse than this one. My engine and trans are both locked up plus broken glass and no interior. But I finally got one.

Highboy four-banger!

Rare collections.. it would be look good in glossy black

Very nice mate, you are a lucky, lucky b@stard!!!

Lol it’s a lot of work finding one. Luck played a small factor

A lot of cars were converted to trucks during World War II because of gas rationing. It was more often permitted to get fuel if you had a pick up truck rather than a car.

I have a 29 spiecal coupe that is the same

автомобиль красивый и редкий, будет жаль если он станет ещё одним ходродом..

That’s a lot of work😢😢😂

I hope you're keeping the fenders , they look like they're in amazing shape & they look bitchin' when you hot rod them... congrats !

Criminal to chop up a nice straight A. High geared? 80 mph? These two are funny.

And they will not go 80 mph

80 miles in hour! what are you smoking!

Another antique car ruined. Why destroy this nice original car when there’s so many junkers you can hot rod? PURE SACRILEGE!
