    Paul Shinn channel is a great channel with loads of info on the Model A.

    Interesting video. I've been noodling on the idea of buying a Model A. I live in the California desert. While I don't need (or want) to drive on our scorcher days, but to know that a mechanically sound car will be fine on our normally warm days is comforting. Thanks so much. you might invest in a radiator guard to protect that pretty new Brassworks improvement.

    Running on the Stromberg 97 is an oldschool way of hot rodding in the day. What you have is a 4 banger hot rod. You didn't say whether or not the head is a high compression head or not. My 4 banger uses a Stromberg 81 and I have had great performance with it. It is an original 81 and I have read that it is preferred for the 4 cylinder over the 97. Of course the Zenith carb would be a good choice to go back to.

    I need to replace drivers door harness on my 2006 sienna but can't get to first base. ALL the wires were cut and somebody pulled them out to inside of the car. Only place I see on inside of car to pass the harness is a 1/2 by 1" slot in the car frame. Seems too small to pass connectors through! Help!😅😅

    • @MotherlodeMotors
      @MotherlodeMotors Місяць тому

      I'm not familiar with that specific vehicle but the harness may need to be installed in the door first and then fished into the car. I'd probably get another harness instead of trying to repair in that situation. You can also find a u-pick junkyard and go see what it's supposed to look like.

    Funny enough you can use old bedsheets for this instead of canvas Because it's thinner it allows the glue to get better bonding Because my dad did that with his And he also put 2 layers of wire mesh for windows Every few layers Of the bed sheets, also he watered down his glue to let it impregnate the fabric Better. When building the camper in his truck And it's what I plan on doing And I know it's not the poor man's fiberglass anymore After I put a layer of epoxy resin on the outside Just for that extra strength And I plan on doing the same thing for inside on any frame Parts Because I mean in the end it's just really fancy paper mache
