  • So I've been kicking around a few ideas on how to build the Yard Art 1928 Model A coupe and came up with a few different options. I personally wouldn't mind doing it up in any of these different ways, so in this episode I'm going to let you guy's make the decision on what type of build this old Model A gets!! Also, I promise it will not become a rat rod....... If you need help locating the survey, go to Rotter's Garage page. Click the Community tab, and the survey will come up. Happy Voting.....

    Me being an "originalist", as you aptly put it, i'd love to see this restored to how it rolled out of the factory. But with that not being an option, i'd go with option №1.

      Paal Aaseng Stubbrud, it sounds like he's already made up his mind to bastardize this old classic. As another "Originalist" it would have been better left right where he found it than to screw it all up like it appears he is going to do. It sucks since there are so many cars out there that are nowhere near complete and restorable as this one is.

      Are you serious the car was falling apart I see it as a restoration project I would not have kept that completely original I would try to keep the look but and all that damage. PS I hope I did not misunderstand what you said.@@richardcline1337

    Option #1 all the way! I would love to see this old engine get back to its former glory, especially because of all the years and neglect it has survived. If that's not feasible for whatever reason, option #2 would be the next best thing I suppose. But either way, I subscribed and I'm looking forward to see what you'll make out of this beauty. Keep up the good work!

  • @johnjulian6885
    @johnjulian6885 Před 2 lety +32

    I'm all for optopn #1, retain the original engine and build it with vintage style speed equipment but leave the body stock. The flathead V-8 option is a close second choice though.

  • @DDRighteous
    @DDRighteous Před 2 lety +34

  • @donaldbothe3518
    @donaldbothe3518 Před 2 lety +6

    I vote for option 1. I love the idea of running it just as the factory made it. I also love the idea of a 100 year old engine still running. It gives me chills that it runs so well.

  • @joshuamartin4547
    @joshuamartin4547 Před 2 lety +23

    You rock, dude. I love that you're giving us the choice. I'd love to see option 1 happen, but I'm gonna love watching the process unfold any way she goes. If you do use a different engine, I'd love to see another project incorporate the i4, maybe a kart/buggy build. I dunno. That little engine just wants to live.
    I don't see a poll yet for voting, but I will be sure to vote when that goes live.

  • @garyfrombarry1
    @garyfrombarry1 Před 2 lety +10

    I've been watching for a follow up video for this model A. Great find! Since that powertrain is pretty much all there and the body looks workable, I hope you do an original build on this. There isn't many video series of complete A restore out there, I think it would send your channel views to outerspace.

  • @shanesmith4838

That she still runs , with minimal work done to it , says a lot about how well it was built . Nice find , nice save ! Love it !

  • @danobryant7740
    @danobryant7740 Před 2 lety +1

    All 3 options will be cool no matter what ! The green machine in the corner by the door is the definate hot rod car I think. Considering how many projects you have to go in the shop I would keep the original baby model A original as per. And then focus on the rat rod next for the bigger power! That’s just me tho . I’m just thinking about keeping all your great ideas in order and not having an conflicting ideas that might be frustrating to you later on. The old guys would love the model A original along with the story . And the rat rod the younger generation will be impressed with that machine. These are merely ideas from my mind to yours. Hope this is helpful. Keep up the good work .

    1 definitely. U can always find another straight body and put a v8 in it but finding an original engine that runs in a 100yrs old car is a chance that shouldnt be missed imo. I think it will also keep a lot more value

  • @EmilFranken

    Use the nailhead and give it some cam! If it were mine, screw the 9-inch tho, an a-body 8 1/4 is an HD rated axle, and is well known for being low resistance🤷🏼‍♂️ I don't think it could get hurt in something that light. Highboy style is perfect for a period early gasser too😎
    There was a magazine I read years ago that had a shootout between build and they built this MONSTER nailhead that put down almost 600-some-odd HP and placed fourth out of 18 engines or so. That is an awesome mill!

    I'd definitely go for option 1. The thing's lasted nearly 100 years so I feel it deserves option 1! Indeed, I'd go with a complete original restoration, but since that's not where your interest lies, then at least for me option one has to be my choice.

    @dogbitefred6631 Před 2 lety

    Fix the doors, the trunk and leave the patina. It took 93 years to make it as cool as it now is! Rebuild the drive train to make it a reliable driver. It's option # 1 for me! At the car shows there would not be another one like it. By the way, I have a 1929 Coupe with original drive train, it's a driver not a trailer queen.

    Wicked you got it running. I’d keep it as is but running sweet on the road
