    You know what’s coming next right? The chuckle when it starts.

    Love the go-kart segment at the end the funderbird was quite neat and that little minimal cart with the center bow that came back to the steering wheel that was sold by Sears in the early 60s

    101:50 – Hang on… I thought he said that axle wasn't connected to the hub! That will get very hot!

    I think you're supposed to have a fez on when you drive this car. I went and pulled up some shriner's gocart videos. They really are fun to watch. The ramps built on a car are really cool.

    Kind of sounds a little bit like my old Model T and the front axle looks very similar I can't believe they made a little forged Axle just for that machine maybe it was just cast but still thats not cheap!

    I think that little quarter size T was the same folks that made the early Snapper riding lawn mowers.

    Im sure someone has already said this .. but .. i belive the reverse wheel should have a rubberized edge, kind of like the drive wheel in a snow blower.

    Really made me smile with the model T. Passed up a chance to buy one off these in the early 80's and have regretted it ever since. I remember seeing the Shriners riding in these doing figure 8's in the parade. Thanks for the video!

    I need a forklift…..and a loft….and stuff to put in that loft with my forklift.

    I thought tires from when the Model T was common were originally white. They turned black when they started adding carbon to extend the life of tires.

    Congratulations on fixing up that jalopy as your new daily driver!
    Ahh yes, there's nothing more enjoying than watching an elephant riding a mouse 😀
    Of course, I'm surprised that this video didn't turn into anouther 'cooking show' with the carburetor.
    Also, if you want those tires to be black – may I seriously suggest painting the sidewalls with an aerosol can of black FLEX SEAL® ?

    Tell me about hitting the clean gas tank lottery, I found a near mint Montgomery wards replacement engine in an auction, un bent the throttle checked it over, threw gas in it and it ran like a top….. sometimes its good to get lucky
