Jeff Speegle On Vintage Ford Factory Markings - Video
« on: June 09, 2016, 03:30:25 PM »
Jeff Speegle was kind enough to spend some time with us here in Oregon. We did a walk around our shop and wrecking yard, looking at and discussing manufacturing marks from Dearborn and San Jose. Enjoy.

Thanks Scott, Don and Andrew for taking what little I provided and doing so much with it. There were not any do overs just the camera rolling and us sharing and talking. Never expected it would be about me - but instead (like here) about the details and focus

Thanks for the opportunity, the time and the effort

Great video! I want more... more... more, too.
If Jeff were to ever visit Ohio and came and looked at my car, he would never have to pay for beer or food in my town for life!

Thank the guys at West Coast Cougars for the work - I was just the stuttering i**t and test subject that day  :o

As every member here knows its only an introduction/tease into the subject - no way could we cover anything well/in dept given all the years, plants and other contributing facts but it is fun walking around a well seasoned and full yard taking notice of all the little things. Every time you learn something new - or your not looking hard enough  8)

Thanks for posting this. Nice to put faces to the names. I've bought some parts from Scott over the years. And many of Jeff's posts have helped me with my car....

Not sure what " some type of similar effort in the future" might look like

Since much of the details is fairly specific to each car it would be impossible to put together a collection that would help everyone without confusing everyone.

Do have a basic What are paint marks, how do you reproduce them ........  sort of article about half done waiting in the wings

I came across the video several days back and had intended to post a link on here. Scott beat me to it!

Very nice job Jeff!
