- This is a 1925 Ford Model T runabout and, in this series, I will make a new interior and top in original design. In this video, I start with removing the old interior and examine the condition of it.
Could say a lot of stuff.....bottom line: I really enjoy your 'no B.S.' presentation and videos. Keep up the good work!
You're one of the Best Restoration guys on CZcams.. I really like your back yard approach! Dont Stop!!🇺🇸🎩🇺🇸
Another great video !
Thanks for taking the time to produce and edit these videos. I'm sure it takes much more time than people think. So again a BIG thank you.
Thanks for the great narration and technical discussion of a original vehicle. Anxious to watch the progress and your expertise materialize.
I always enjoy the T stuff. Your knowledge is appreciated.
Model Ts almost never stopped running for any catastrophic reason.
With proper maintenance, they would run nearly forever, because the engine turned at a maximum of 1600 RPM, which is just only 1000 RPM faster than idle❤
Regarding the top saddle plugs, I have heard that some folks bought open cars because they were cheaper and just never lowered the top. Also, many at the time regarded closed cars as dangerous because of all the plate glass in the side and rear windows.
My '20 Runabout looks just about the same overall. Reupholstered just post-war, a sewn date tag on the material lists the date and shop and rather than remove the old material they just put the new right over the old, just like your seat. As far as the left side body bracket not being installed, I think they just forgot to install it. Keep up the good work, always a pleasure to watch your new videos.
Upholstery is voodoo science to me, it will be interesting to see you build the seats and top, maybe I can pick up a few pointers. Thanks for taking time to video your projects!
Your videos are always encouraging and educational! Thank you for sharing with us
I can’t wait to see the finished product
I think that’s a police bumper, because of the badge relief around those front bolts…
I have a picture of my grandpa in one of these cars circa 1927 in Detroit .
Sure … I see this helpful video after I have done the seat and top on my 1923 runabout. 😄
thank you for share this information with us. Congratulations.
What a great original car with great patina! If the existing upholstery buttons are painted steel, save them! They are probably the original buttons. Ford did not use buttons covered with upholstery material. If you decide to install an upholstery kit, I recommend Classtique. Since you are on the west coast, Chaffin's would be a good source for any other items you might need.
Thank you.
I wonder if someone started to reupholster the car and realised they'd left that bracket out so they saed it for next time.
Sweet! 😁 I love Ts!
Last year I acquired a 1927 model T which is topless. It will be interesting to me to watch you bring this beauty back. Just subscribed. Is that original seat material you found underneath leather?
Did you happen to make a video regarding replacement of the wood to the door? I have a '25 Model T roadster or runabout and I am wanting to know just how to remove the wood from the door skin without damaging, breaking or ruining the metal as the door frame is removed from the shell skin. I can't find anyone who has actually done this or seen any videos showing such. I loved the fact that you showed the wood framework for the backing of the seat in the car, as mine was all in pieces and made little sense to me as to how it was installed in the car. Thanks for the video.
Thank you. The only way I know of to remove the wood from the door is to pry the top and sides open slightly. Unfortunately, they weren't made to be taken apart. But if you're carful, you can pry the wood out and new wood in without doing too much damage to the door skin.
Very neat!
I enjoyed your series on upholstery and top for a 1925 T roadster. The videos are helping me a lot. I will be making a top for my 26 roadster pickup. How many feet of top material should I order? I believe Colonial grain material comes in a 59" width. I want enough to do the top and side curtains. Thanks
Thank you. on these cars, my general rule is the length of the top and rear curtain x2. That usually leaves some extra in case I make a mistake. I'm not sure how much is needed for the side curtains.
Hello, I am working on a 1924 and I don't have good patterns of the inside corners. Do you have better pictures of what is on the outside of that C shape wood piece. Looks like a metal C shape piece just behind the gas tank. Thanks
I made patterns of the structure of this car while it was here. You can Email me at onewhocollects@gmail.com and I can send you pictures of what I have.
Oh yeah? Just wrenching on the old weekend project are we
Why are those books along the back so long?
Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe ....
Those eyelets on the bumper are for towing your Model T behind your Winnebago! 😄
What happened to the Model A? 🤔
The coupe? It's still being prepped for the repaint.
@@onewhocollects6781 Looking forward to more episodes of the Model A and the Model T. With two projects on the go does this mean we can expect twice as many videos? 👏
@@robinimpey101 Maybe.
Would you consider selling that front bumper ?
I probably would if it were my car.
