List a Model A YouTube channel that you watch.
 

Just wanted to find more interesting Model A YouTuber and help support their channels. Let's try to get a list going. Or has this list been done?

I'll start out with...

Paul Shinn, that we all watch.

Old Car Chronicles, that I just started watching.

Astrawerks youtube videos are top notch in my opinion!!!
While Adrian has recently sold his Ford Model A he has quite a few videos working on it, which I think any Model A enthusiast will enjoy immensely he is German, but he speaks very good English.

I'm a big fan of Steve B's Workshop for generator rebuilding videos and bonus antique firearms content:

Mark Clayton has mostly moved to Facebook but he put a nice dyno video up last month (not Model A but they are pre-war):
https://www.youtube.com/@claytoresto

And I do enjoy the Redline Rebuild series, though it is also not Model A, except that one time. But I've learned relevant stuff from watching how they use tools.

I always enjoyed Jack Bahm's (RIP) videos and George Bell's Transmission Rebuild series. Others I will visit once in a while.

Not Model A related, but I do watch SuperfastMatt who built a LSC with a 1.0 litre naturely aspired BMW M/C engine and broke the record @ over 270 mph. Learned a lot of stuff I will never use...

Honestly Vice Grip Garage / Derek have done a ton of Model A's and putting their videos on the family room TV when the kids are around will actually catch their attention. I think it's because it's most similar to our situation where we are taking an old unrestored one and try to get it running.

EDIT: Oh and shameless plug but if you ever want to know about bicycle stuff then check out my channel "psimet". We also do a podcast at Road Is Dead. Been wanting to do some Model A videos just for the heck of it but I am reluctant to start yet another youtube channel and don't think the bike people will want model a content.

I like P.S. info/tech and DIY to videos. Driving for ice cream ones not so much.
PS - P.S. keep using those adjustable wrenches and pliers we've got an "expert" in our club it drives nuts.

Haha, that's funny. If you are going to use an adjustable wrench, at least use Knipex Plier Wrenches! They take place of most of the open-end wrenches in my tool box.

I have bumped into MANY of the experts who jump my case about using adjustable wrenches and how using them proves I don't know what I'm doing. All it does it motivate me to use/show them even more.

I have never seen a Knipex. Isn't it a channelock?

They have finer adjustments and I think the jaws stay parallel. That lump near the pivot may also increase leverage for a tighter grip.

Way more than Channelock or Crensent Wrench. I use Knipex Plier Wrenches all the time I fact, I usually carry the 7" size in my pocket.

Knipex are pretty amazing. Many in my industry use them as their main also in their race set. I believe the big brands like the Tool Trucks sell versions of them now. IIRC Harbor Freight Icon has a shockingly decent version as well.

Just got done watching the new one from David Freiburger with Derek from Vice Grip Garage where they road trip his "new" A. https://youtu.be/Vj4N_bO6KRw?si=hloAP_tgP6RzGwdO


They start it here: https://youtu.be/O3JWfHa9oNU?si=DoY_5nP47-8cORDH
