Interesting...thanks!

An excellent film. Lots of processes not normally shown, for example the frame rivetting.

Thanks for posting, I had not seen that one before. That shot of the 22hp gearbox with 62 stenciled on the side reminded me of one I bought that was a full size V8 box and had 91 stenciled on the side. Late shift tower but early synchros.

Damn!! I could watch those videos all day!!

Very interesting! Note at 2:30, tightening the head stud nuts... does not appear to follow the manual's torque sequence?

Glad I found it for you Mart. These Dagenham Fords would be of special interest to British v8ers. I've never seen a model 62 as our v8s in NZ came from Canada rather than the "mother country". We did get a lot of the "Five star Fords" and the little UK Fords though. I always wanted a "Dagenham Dustbin" (Mk1 Zephyr) when I was younger...my father put the kibosh on that as he said "I would kill myself" in one.

For me, the design/engineering of the machine tools used is even more impressive in the manufacturing process....

Interesting video .There is a Model 62 here unrestored in the sth island , Ted

That was great, thanks. Never knew how they built radiators.

I've not seen that film before....there was a Model 62 in a farmyard near here for a few years.I saw it when I went to try and buy a 39 cabriolet, it was pretty rusty, I hope it got saved.

Excellent video.
Notice that the universal joint bolt was tightened by hand with a speed wrench - no torque wrench.

petehoovie: I too amazed at the machine tool design, even years ago.
