Them old cars were harder to work on. I just installed a model a engine & trans. what a pain. You should pull a 46 ford trans,they suck,pull the rear end,floor board,mounts suck. They would last for 20 years under extreme conditions though, these new ones wont come close.

If only cars today were as simple as they were back than...

[mikethenascarfan]

people on the assemly lines back in the 20s did that in about 10 minutes with no speed tape

[sjhamilton2]

Exactly, at the Model T celebration in Richmond IN this past year they have a competition of about 3 teams that sees who can assemble one the fastest.

[VALsacount2]

Yes but the machinery, and methonds were different.

[herbienbrian]

wow, that was incradable.

I'm 15 and I've been working on cars all my life, little while ago my mom and pop got me an old bug, so I've been slowely restoring it hopeing it'll be done by the time I get my lisence.

I'm able to get the motor in and out by myself in 20 minuts :)

[haroldbr]

Nice job! I wasn't pulling motors on a regular basis until I was in my 20s! Keep it up and you'll end up working in a field that you really love.

[herbienbrian]

thats what I'm shooting for.

[NorthCarolinaBoy1]

[rowen211]

@herbienbrian Thats pretty cool man. I'm 14 and I've only gone as far as completely tearing down an old Briggs and Stratton and putting it back together in 20mins, and starting it.

What's the market for replicas of this car, i.e. kits ?

[gregwddriver]

It always astounds me that this proceedure was performed in a matter of seconds as the car moved down the line.

[CAAccord]

LOL for a second i thought @ 1:30 that lady was taking a photo of his ass haha

[Givusabrake]

Old Henry would have sacked those guys within the first hour lol

I love this vid I wish I new how to string my V12 vids together & make something similar

[haroldbr]

I used Final Cut Express HD to make this video. It takes a while to learn, but it's quite powerful.

[Piro42]

That is really cool, I hope it runs as good as it looks (which would be excellent).

What song is that, by the way? It's got a good rhythm

[haroldbr]

Thanks. Ol' Tin Lizzie is running better than ever (thanks modern bearings). The song is "Watermelon Man" by Herbie Hancock. It's on the album "Head Hunters."

[haroldhines]

Cool! I like where Mom jumps in to give comments, take photos, and generally stand in the way.  And the little motions from underneath were finally observed to be BEN!

[ttharold]

Man, that is so cool! I love to see an old machine coming together!
