Thank you for your kind words! Overdrive is useful for some hills, but not all. In the video (link in description) where I show how to use the overdrive, I go over some of that and show how.

Thanks, Mike!

Excellent. Mission accomplished! Making These Model A videos makes me want to be a Model A seller. Ha ha!

@@ModelA Maybe it was your videos that finally made me become a Model A owner again. I have to blame someone and my kids threaten to put me in a nursing home if I keep blaming them for everything.

@@ModelA Wow I'd love to buy one . Preferably something at a low price , maybe something I could restore . Thank you. I'm in sunny California

Yes!

Same here 🙌 The more I watch the more I want one

Thanks!!

What is stopping you from picking up a coupe? Go for it!

Their stuff is top notch for sure.

Thank you Doug! I am trying very hard to improve.

Thanks, will do!

Very welcome Joe!

Thank you! And good luck when you go for it.

Thank you!

Thank you kindly!

Nice!

Almost the same way you found Joe.

Thank you John! Very kind of you.

@@ModelA This is unbelievable! These cars are unbelievable ! By the way my daily driver is a 97 Mitsubishi montero suv Relatively old compared to most people with 2020 cars. I have a few project cars which are now drivable. I'm a big car buff. And I know about restoration, and a little about everything.

Thank you, Pete!

Watch out... They can be addictive. And they attract ladies.

Ha ha! Then how come this 6 to 8 hour job took 3 days??? Dang! Setting up each shot, reshooting stuff, etc. takes a LOT longer than just doing the job. Then, there's 3 days of editing....

Very cool!

That's true! Good work, mate!!

Thank YOU!

Should be useful for your 38 as well. Thank you!

Welcome aboard!

Metallic cinder blocks for safety!

Excellent! Tell Steve I said "hi" when you talk to him next, please!

@@ModelA will do ;)

Glad you enjoyed it, Mr. Jacobs!

We got a little dusting of snow, but it didn't stick.

Steve, you better hurry and order one. The snow might be gone the time you get it! Took 15 weeks to get mine, but well worth the wait!!

Yes, indeed! The Model A does have what I believe the most aftermarket support of any automobile its age. Just amazing! Now, if I could get some of those vendors to sponsor the channel... Imagine all the helpful videos that could be made...

Remember, you can build a '57 Chevy with affter market parts.

Thanks Greg!

Thanks Kevin!

I have seen them split like yours did a few times. That's why I never use a puller to get the pinion carrier assembly off. That nut on the end protects the end of the shaft and the treads, and using the BANG is the best way to remove a tapered fit anything.

Yes!

That's the best way to learn! Good work, man.

Thank you, my brother!

Thanks Jay. I never try to hide the mic wire, just keep it out of the way. Sometimes I use the wireless, but it has dropouts now and then so not reliable. Perhaps it's time to take it up a notch and to more professional? NAH!!! I'm just a luddite with an iphone and no ego, man. Mic wire and all.

Good point. However, if you are in a club and do it at a club tech seminar, then it is a lot easier and more fun!

Glad you enjoyed it Jerry!

Thanks Mike!

Thank you kindly!

I will likely get one of these some day down the road. Does the part that bolts to the transmission tower bolt right over the mounting tabs on the brake light switch flange on a 28/29? PS You make it look so easy. Was this about a one-day task or more?

@@BillGeurts2269 Yes. One day if not making a video of it.

That's a bummer. Where are you?

@@ModelA 40 Miles south of Atlanta

You're an honorary Model A guy now! Dodge is close enough.

@@ModelA The Dodge brothers made a lot of Model T parts before they becme Dodge builders.

I stumbled onto a 31 model A last July when a grandkid was emptying his grandpa's house contents mostly into a dumpster, and he had a model A with froze up engine and brakes sitting in the carport ! Last time it ran was 1997, and apparently someone pushed on the brake pedal, and locked the brake shoes onto the drums, so the grandson didn't have much hope for it, and needed it out of there !! Was in the right spot at the right time, Aired up the tires and drug it on my friends trailer with a winch and now it is sitting in my driveway, waiting for me to get everything loose again !! I never had an A Ford before, but doesn't look right to me ? Title says it is a 31 convertible, but the wheels are not wire, and it has hydraulic brakes with STUCK master cylinder and wheel cylinders, Engine was stuck too, but my friend broke that loose with a 12 volt assist ! Did 31's have hydraulic brakes, or was that added along the way ?? The wheels have Pontiac hub caps on them, and the left of the steering column doesn't have advance / retard lever, so do I have a Model A, or just a pile of random parts, the grandpa put together ? I saw it on the streets around town in 96 or 97, and always wanted a ride in it, but never got the chance, so now I have my chance now !!! The grandpa was a carpenter, so it has homemade plywood on it with old countertop metal trim, but looks cool to me with tan colored plywood, with root beer colored fenders !! The tires have held air all winter after airing them up last fall, so I'm excited to get whatever it is I have running ! Thanks for t your videos, it has helped my enthusiasm ! I told the grandson I would give him a ride if I can get it going ! THANKS for your AWESOME videos, I'm learning a lot, and want to drive it back and forth to the Post Office this summer !! Matt, your # 1 FAN

Shout out to you!! My adopted dad is from Wichita. Tudor is a great choice! Not just because it will fit you better, but because they are the most versatile too.

Indeed 😊, hopefully one day we might bump into each other during a modal a festival 😉. Also nice that your adopted dad lives in witchta, my aunt lives there as well ❤.

Ha ha! Thanks man. Those are all clips from my videos. The Batman PJ's make two appearances. One ended up on the cutting room floor, the other is in a video.

Looks like he was dressed to shop at Walmart.

Please do not be envious.. These are easily obtainable cars.

@@ModelA I live in Australia :)

I see several for sale in Australia right now

You can do it!

Right. A lot of people who have criticism for the way a Model A drives or steers or brakes and basing their opinion on very poorly maintained or "restored" examples. Either that or they have no experience at all and make assumptions.

Excellent! Get that A on the road again. Thank you!

I had better get to work making more!

Yes! Good eye.

Yes, it is! We're all depending on you to keep traffic slow so we don't get run over, Ken!! Ha ha!

Thanks for subbing, Dan!

@@ModelA Not a problem, it's just simply good content.

Oh yes! Ha ha! This is probably the 50th Mitchell installation I've done or helped do.

"Upgrades"? I have seen lots of hot rodders do upgrades that seem to change various aspects of the ride, but none ever make it better. Just different. Best upgrade you can make is rebuilding your shock absorbers and then setting them all exactly the same. What a difference that makes!

Yes, you are right

Hahaha!! Thanks, Brian!

Ha!! Well, truth be told... I have two coupes in the works right now. so, maybe...

Swapping a transmission will probably be a video eventually. The spanners are sold by all the popular Model A parts suppliers. Best of luck on the new trans!

Yes!

Yes. And, thank you!

Leaving the seat in and covering it gives me something to lean on. No torque figures included. It's all you. No, not going to install the EZ oil check gizmo. I switched to Optima batteries in all my Model As. You want my tudor sedan, huh? You're gonna need a BIG checkbook!

@@ModelA I wondered if the seat might be left in to lean on. Thanks. I just learned about the EZ Oil Check thing. I asked you because Mitchell Manufacturing states common leakage into the torque tube while being unknown to the owner. I've never regretted buying my Optima batteries. I think your Tudor fits the Model A that I would want--and I trust you. My checkbook is handsome. Thanks for replying Paul.

You made it possible. Thank you! Did I pronounce your name properly?

@@ModelA yes You have talked about making a Mitchell install video in the past It’s a pleasure to know I helped Have a great week

Thank you!

Yes. You just order the overdrive specifically made for the Victoria. The gearbox is located in a different spot along the torque tube. Simple!

Cool! Any video of it?

I'll have to make one for you.

They are a reddish orange. They don't exactly match the Ford color guide.

Yep! It's a period correct accessory. The Model A suppliers sell a repro now that accepts a padlock. I have one of those on my tudor sedan, and it's decent.

@@ModelA *added to wishlist xD

26%. The steering wheel cover makes the steering wheel thicker so people with arthritis can drive it easier.

They offer 26% and 33%. I think 33 is too much.

Yes!!

I'm an electrical engineer in my real job and I work with very high voltage broadcast equipment. So in my world, 6 volts isn't even an issue. If it sparks, it won't be much. Truthfully, I wasn't as close to the terminals as it looked.

@@ModelA The Model A's are more fun! I was an elevator technician and an elevator contractor as well as an elevator inspector and an electrician. Had a friend that owned Tower Elevator and a few times I worked with him on broadcaster tower elevators. You better not be afraid of heights. Those are deadly insane to work on.

I have several pants and many shirts all exactly the same. You witnessed many wardrobe changes!

Thanks!

I have no idea. Never played with anything except a stock Model A

Yes. You do have to order it that way so you get the proper parts.
