Stumbled Upon this Youtube Restoration Series - Model T Fordor

I was browsing Youtube and stumbled upon this, part 1 of a series. I haven't finished watching the whole series yet. The use of the pressure washer on the interior and electrics gave me the chills.

I watched the three videos that I could find on it and it mostly looks like a cosmetic restore job. They didn't do any disassembly they just painted clear over the rust with a brush and no mechanical work yet.

Yes, looks like a "doll it up and flip it" kind of job. He did mention "getting it running" as part of the plan in the first video. The new owner will have to undo a lot to do the job right.

That said, what is there will be better preserved under the layers of rust convertor and clear coat and the car will be back in circulation. :)

I will say that the first video has some of the best detail of interior areas that I have seen. I can see how my rear floorboards should be in my Tudor now. I did cringe a little to see all that moisture going inside.
Thanks

Did you notice the "Ford Faithful" oiling system transmission cover? I wonder if he has the rest of the system (I sent him a link to the kit on Lang's site). :)

I think he needs to know not to jack up a T under the center of the rear end. I believe he jacked it up that way to put the stands under it. :(

What is the best way to Jack it up. One side at a time?

Jacking one side at a time out near the wheel is fine, or you can make a cradle like some shown in this older thread:
