- In today’s video I’ll show you how to remove the old trunk handle and install a new trunk handle with lock.
When I received my 1929 Model A Ford Roadster it came with a handle on the rumble/ trunk with lock, but there’s no key for that lock that came with the car, so it’s either broken or the key was lost.
As Roadie gets more work done and ready for daily driving, I will need a way to safely lock up groceries, mail and other things!
Have an awesome week!
What I appreciated most was seeing how easy it was for you to roll Roadie out of its garage!
It is really nice! Thanks 💕
Loved that too….found it sort of funny; she did it while talking to us…😉
Hi Tina, it’s great to see you working on Roadie!
Hey thanks! Lots to do that’s for sure! I miss hearing you playing your guitar and singing, so refreshing!
@@Modeltshinn We didn't get to chill the last time I came by. Sorry. Maybe next time?
Nice job Tina, next time try working inside Paul’s shop out of the blazing sun.
Glad you are having so much fun with Roadie.
Thank you 💗 lol, there’s too many A’s in his shop right now 😂
Good video Model T!! Doing any repair in 99 degree weather outside is not fun, but you only lost one washer during the entire process!!! Keep having fun with Rodie!!
Thank you so much 💗💕
Another great job, T! I don't think Roadie will mind a temporary replacement part! A locksmith should easily be able to to get that original one fixed for you.
Thank you so much!! 💗
Sure love that car. Any time we do something on our 28, I call them little successes ! Keep us up to date Mrs S. Enjoy an be safe.
Hi Dean! Yes, each little thing feels like such a huge success 💗 Thank you so much and have a wonderful week!!
I watched Splendor in the Grass 1961 the other day and thought for sure Warren Beatty was cruising around in your tan 29 roadster. Loved the deck lid handle video. 99 degrees wow! nice and warm
Hi! I never saw that movie…ya, it’s supposed to be about 105 starting tomorrow 🤪 have a nice week!
7:25. Nice job on the rumble lock. We loved your pictures in the July-August Restorer Magazine
Hey thank you!! That was a fun article 💗💕 Take care!
I just installed one yesterday on my ‘30 A Deluxe Coupe. And yes, I put a new one on. But, security outweighed my choice. My lock was far to gone to repair. Small things I’m getting done before I get the Radiator back from the Shop. Thanks, Miss Tina.
That’s awesome! Yes, we need security for sure these days! Have a great week!!! 💕
Reinstalled the back of the seat in my 1930 roadster rumble last weekend. Someone in its past had used an over sized sheetmetal screw to fasten the bottom of the seat back on one side and the seat back fell off when the rumble was opened. Reinstallation turned out to be a real pain. Had to rethread the two bottom fasteners to 1/4 -20. Bolts are in a tight place any you can't see the bolt holes after seat back is hung. Access is awful as well. Glad you didn't have to totally remove your seat back to replace the lock. I have one key for my rumble.
Wow, what a pain! Yes, I didn’t bother showing my struggles of trying to get the seat back off, I started sweating so bad 😂 Hopefully you can get a copy of that key, especially if the handle is original. I hope that I can get my original keyed and it works so I can put it back. Take care!
I enjoyed the projects you’ve done so far keep them coming. God Bless you.
Thank you 💗💕 God bless you also!
Great Job. I agree with the magnet idea or get a Magnet on a Stick that is extendable to reach and pick up small things.
Thank you! Yep, going to fish it out this weekend lol
Good Luck, have fun, I know you will from seeing your smile all the time working on your pride n joy.
Thank you for teaching and sharing! Have a great week, God Bless ~ Chuck
Thank you Chuck, have an awesome week! 💗
Ladies are the best when cosmetics are required. Get the old key cut and put the original assembly into rechrome for the future. Right now, Roadie needs a few more areas of attention. Hope the wood structures are not rotted too bad. Roadie is responding very well to your conservatorship. ❤️
Thank you, as far as we know wood seems okay, but metal underneath needs help which is coming soon! Take care!
Thanks Tina for a great video. I really do like the Model As but at 107 degrees, I just can't do without the A/C. My health won't allow it. Had to quit riding motorcycles too & that was a terrible blow. Roadie looks great too. No doubt a fun ride. I do notice that when folks drive by with the older cars, people stop & look. All of them are eye appealing, at least to me they are. Have a great summer you guys.
Thank you so much 💕 I’m so sorry that your health caused you grief like that 💗 Take good care of yourself!
@@Modeltshinn Thank you & you do the same.
I've got to Hand it to you Tina, your good I don't care what Paul says.
😂💕 Paul’s always going bla bla bla…you’re funny!
Thank you Tina. My model at doesnt even have the latch lol. Love the roadster.
Oh wow! Thank you, have a great week! 💗
nice job you and Paul make a awesome team 🙂
Thank you so much 💗
Good job 👏 Tina
Hey thank you!! 💗
Good job; so cool to see the car getting improved step by step. Looking forward to the front windshield frame rubber seal swap; that one looks a little worse for wear. Really like the color combo on this car; wonder if it’s the original color.
Hi! Thank you so much 💗 it’s not the original color unfortunately but so many people love it, it’s kind of growing on me, I call it caramel macchiato lol Have a wonderful week! 💕
Great job Tina. You might want to put a little oil around the handle.
Thank you 💗 sounds like a good idea! Have a nice week!
Thanks for sharing Tina!
Thanks for watching 💕
Yeah missus, you have to be real careful you don't drop small things. If you look around you can maybe find a small magnet to put inside your sockets. Cheers Tina and God bless you and Paul.
Yes, Paul has a long stick with a magnet on the end that I’ll be fishing it out with at some point 😁 God bless you and your week! 💕
Have a great Independence Day🇺🇸
Happy Independence Day to you ♥️🇺🇸
Model T that is not a crescent wrench that is a socket and ratchet !
you are doing great with Roadie !
Lol, sometimes my brain doesn’t cooperate with me, thank you! 💕
@@Modeltshinn Rember That We are all teachers and We are all students at the same Time
So thank you for teaching me how replace a trunk lock on a model A
@@mattomon1045 I appreciate that 💕
Tina. You can also nickel plate the original handle.
That’s a nice idea if I can’t get the original working again! Thanks! 💕
Nice job! I have to do the same lock install on my 30 coupe. Paul, time to coach model T on the names of the wrenches! (Socket wrench vs crescent wrench, for ex.)example.. otherwise, bravo!
Thank you so much, yes, I normally know, unfortunately my brain doesn’t always cooperate with me 💕 Take care!
Slowly but surely Roadie will be all new again. Make sure that Dylan isn’t napping in the rumble seat compartment. I’ve heard some horror stories of beloved pets getting stuck there and not all made it.
Thank you 💗 Oh that would be so horrific! I have what I call cookie time in the evening for my kittens, I sing a cookie time song to them in the evening, they come running and I give them cookies then they stay inside for the night…I’ve been doing this since they were babies 💕
good informative video nice car, long time ago I had a 31 Ford two door sedan
Thank you so much 💕 I bet it was a nice A, think you’ll get another some day?
I was 15 now I am 60 years older
@@raymondbrown2112 you’re still young enough 💕
Job well done
Thank you 💗
Good job Model T! It might be that the original latch had a longer shaft on it too, which might have been cut to size also. Paul would probably know the answer to that question, anyways, enjoyed watching. I hope your having a good week and the rest is great, take care!
Thank you so much 💗 Paul’s always so busy, I try to only bug him if I need to 😂💕
To retrieve that nut behind the seat you might try a magnet tied on a piece of string or dental floss. lower the string down and sweep across the back on the floor.
Yes, we have a stick with a magnet, at some point I’ll fish the washer out of there 😁💕
Awesome but it drives me crazy that you sit your tools on the paint. Anyhow great job and great video.
Thank you….I always set them down softly I promise, but I should place them on a rag or something just in case 💗 take care!
@@Modeltshinn that would ease my soul. Lol
Now you need to replace the door handles to to make them match
I love my door handles though, hopefully I can get the trunk handle working again so I can put it back on, the old ones look so awesome 💗 have a nice week!
勉強になりました。真似してやってみます。😊
open end or box end wrench.
Thank you, sometimes my brain doesn’t cooperate with me. Have a great week!
see if a lock smith can take out the tumbler from the new hndle and place it in the old handle.
much easier nd cheaper than trying to make a new key
Thanks for the info! Have a great week 💕
So Tina if you all of a sudden hear something rattling around in the rear of your "A", I think that we know what it is. haha
😂 that’s hilarious! I will be fishing it out at some point though 💗 Have a nice week!
My door handle needs a key also. I’ll have to try my local locksmith to see if he can do it. Maybe he can make a key the same as ignition?
That would be really nice! 💕
Did you try the new key for your new handle just to see if it works for the old handle- you never know. An open faced wrench works as well and you would not have had to loosen the seat to reach the nut. You also might want to loosen the nut you put on to see if the handle turns more easily. Just saying try. These suggestion may or may not work.
You’re awesome, thank you! Yes I actually tried my roadster ignition key and the new lock key, nope! That’s a great tool, I wish I’d thought of it at the time!! Take care! 💕
Now that I've seen how to do it, I think I have a handle on the situation. Boo. Hiss.
Omg 😂 throwing 🍅’s
Have an awesome week!
A comic was going to do a stand up routine at the local comedy club. He first went to all of the local grocery stores. He bought all of the rotten fruits and vegetables. He was then ready to face the audience!
Are you guys going to the Gilmore in September? We are planning on being there.
Later!
@@williamforbes5826 I believe so, I know Paul is going for sure if I’m correct. Im just waiting to see if I can get it off, but I don’t think it will be a problem 😁
@@williamforbes5826 hopefully I’ll get to see you!
