This is truly a great series. I’ve never seen how one of these went together. I knew wood was used but I didn’t realize how much wood was used in these old cars. Very cool build series. Thanks again for sharing this journey.

Excellent work! I would guess that your "bad day" equals an excellent day for most of us hobby restorers. This old model A has definitely found the right person for the job! Thank you for the video!

The wood work on the Murray and Briggs wood framed bodies is a bear but every time I close a door on my sedan I hear and feel that solid sound. Then all of the frustration it took to get the wood dialed in is justified. You do fine work. Thank you.

I grew up as an airport kid helping my dad with his antique airplanes. At fly-ins around the country I found an appreciation for not only the aircraft lovingly restored, but the wonderful people who took the responsibility of "Caretaker" seriously. I always loved cars growing up and seeing what it takes to keep them rollin'. I'm enjoying each video and see your quality workmanship in every episode. I wish you would include your contact information. Keep on building!

When I look at you, I find it hard to believe that you have been at this for 44 years, then I look at the results of your efforts. Thanks for showing the whole picture, lumps and all. You've made me realize that I'm not a failure after all. Thank you!

It makes me, a studying restoration student, feel better to see that even an expert has bad days too.
-
Outstanding… I thought I was the only one that had days like that when you got two left hands and no thumbs and nothing goes right because your not thinking right. Great video. Thanks
-
I felt right at home watching this. Listening to your commentary made me realize "pride goeth before the oil canning." Still enjoyed immensely.
-
We've all been there. Doesn't matter how much experience or time you have in your craft. There will always be days when nothing goes right. Personally, I think you're too hard on yourself. Love the content!

Great job, you are a real artist, and would love too see planes restord
-
Yes to all ! More of everything please. Thank you.
-
really enjoying this series on the model A victoria a great watch thanks for all
-
Love the level of transparency in your builds. I don't care if that car takes years to assemble as long as its documented the way you are doing it. I have built a Model A Woodie and it is a lot of work. What you are doing is a highly polished and meticulous method of restoration. That is what will get me to a much higher level of quality. Thank you
-
Another great video. Thanks again for taking the time to show all the details. I wouldn't be opposed to an airplane restoration.
-
As usual another great video Mark !! the best restoration videos on YouTube !!!!!!!! I Love watching you work
-
Excellent work again! Great recovery too. Anyone can make a mistake, but not everyone has the skill and self-confidence to dig themselves out of a hole. 😃👍

I'm in awe of your craftsmanship. I sincerely appreciate how candid you are about mistakes even after 40 plus years in the trade. It gives me hope and encouragement on my weekend projects to keep moving forward, and a reminder to pause, take a deep breathe and ask yourself what am I doing wrong. I hope you get enough views to hire that editor. PS. those guys standing around weren't on the clock were they :)

Beautiful work and craftmanship on this model A. I appreciate and thank you for uploading this video. Drive carefully
-
Great work and I'll watch whatever restoration you would like to do. Appreciate the clear explanations and straight forward practical approach you have.

Glad you are back making videos, A start to finish project like the Model A is a great idea. Just so you know, no small detail is to trivial. I want to see it all.
