Well I watched the video and I’d say Matt and crew get kudos for saving another old Ford, and it was a tub too! Oops, I meant to say it’s a Convertible Sedan. I don’t agree about the “reality TV” mentality some here described, they are just a group of guys searching out and rescuing old cars and parts. For sure Matt isn’t running his operation as a charitable organization, certainly he buys right and hopes to sell what he doesn’t decide to keep but they all deserve some credit. How many of you naysayers would deal with what was seen on just this one video, shoveling all types of vermin feces, the fallen insulation and who knows what else might be found in an old neglected building like that. Not everyone in the hobby has the pleasure of just buying and driving their dream early Ford V8 and I would think at least a few of you guys would be happy to see the younger generation involved in saving old Fords for posterity. Apparently some are just predisposed to see fault in the younger generation. And BTW, I’m 74 and happy to see them saving old tin.
