1929 Ford Model A won't stop! How to adjust Ford Model A brakes in the field for a new owner.

My friend Dave just bought this 1929 Ford Model A fordor sedan and discovered that it won't stop. We met up at a little garage Dave found with a few tools and a flaky floor jack in it where we could duck out of the rain and do something to make it stop better so he can make it home safely. This video shows how to adjust a Model A brake system on the fly under rushed conditions and with minimal tools.

Is it perfect? No way. It is better? Absolutely. Result: Dave made it home safely! If it works, is it really a "bad idea"??
