Thanks for making this available.

I checked the Scat website last weekend and they show T stroker cranks in stock.

I ordered one on 5/12 and it's arriving tomorrow. I'll probably regret not buying two but they are not cheap.

I sent you an email through the forum regarding the Delco dual spark distributor.

Hi John K.

I sent you a PM regarding your Delco dual spark distributor. Is there a better way to contact you besides a PM through the Forum?

Thanks, Mark. It's a pleasure doing business with you.

Hi Mark. I am checking to see if your ZR4 is still available. I sent you an email yesterday and a PM through the forum this morning with my phone number. Please give me a call if the mag is still for sale.

Thank you,
Tom

T4Tom

Hi Mark. I'll buy your mag if it's still available. Can I contact you through the Forum PM?

Fronty Boy, I found the website for Cass Casmir. Sorry, he has/had a DO Gemsa not the Gallivan. Not sure if this will be of any help to you. You will also find his SOHC, supercharged Fronty SR sprint car. I know you like that kind of stuff. Note the website states "not secure". http://buymegivemetak...

T4Tom

Erik, There was a gentleman named Ellis Gray whom I read about in a Vintage Ford speedster issue back the '70s. I think he may be the guy who worked at Lockheed and he built some crazy T stuff for Long Beach like an SOHC Rajo. Here is the link to an article on the Northwest Vintage Speedster website...

T4Tom

Thanks, Mark. PayPal payment has been sent.

Hi Mark,

I would like to buy 2 sets if any are still available.

Hi Ed. I can meet you at your house or some other spot of your choice in Hayward and pay cash. I can stop at Emil Villa's and grab some ribs while I am up there! Does Feb. 15 at 2:00 work for you?
Tom

T4Tom

Hi Ed,

I will buy this book it if still available. How do I pay you?

Michael, Carlsberg is one of my favorite beers! Luckily, I can find it at my local grocery store.

Cheers,

Hi Les, can you post more details on your conversion to the Bosch distributor to make it a dual spark setup?

Thanks,
Tom

T4Tom

Wow, what a beast!

T4Tom

Hello, Guy.

I would like to buy the radiator shell. Is it still available? I sent you and email and left a voice mail.

Thanks,

You folks sure get worked up over things that are not happening in YOUR state!

Does the old saying "As California goes, so goes the nation" worry you?

T4Tom

I love this stuff! Erik, thanks for posting the photos and fast reply to my email. I will contact you when your return from your travels. Fronty Boy, I did not realize you owned the Flying Dutchman, I think that's what it's called. I would have loved to see it when I picked up the SR Fronty last Nov...

T4Tom

Erik, I would love to see the photos of Rajo DO. I also sent you an email through the forum regarding some engine work.

Thanks,
Tom

T4Tom

Thanks, Hank. I'll send the check tomorrow.

Tom

T4Tom

Hi Hank,

I will take it if it still available. I'll send the email in a few minutes.

Tom

T4Tom

Yes, very nice indeed! The valve action is mesmerizing and it sounds great. Donnie, if I recall, did you install some kind of fancy tail pipe system on your speedster? If so, how does that sound? I am also very jealous. I need an excellent fast T engine builder in Northern California or the West Coa...

T4Tom

I am very happy with the speedster by grandfather built, however......

T4Tom

It looks like the head is mounted backwards! The red arrow is pointing to what looks like the water outlet flange.

T4Tom

What is the river? It's got a pretty good flow and by the looks of the trees in the background, it hasn't been this high in a while.

T4Tom

Mark, I replied to your email. Thanks for the fast response. Do you use Zelle or Venmo?

T4Tom

Mark, I would like to buy a set if they are still available. Thanks, Tom

T4Tom

Can someone explain or link a video showing the swedging process on wheel lug nuts? I searched google and mainly found info pertaining to wire cables.

I ordered a set of wire wheels of wire wheels lugs and the swedge tool from Lang's but I do not know how to use it.

Thanks,
Tom

T4Tom

I am sorry to learn of Frank's passing. My condolences to his family. I only met Frank once. He and Humble Howard hand delivered the Rajo BB and assorted parts I bought from Howard. The two gentlemen drove up from southern California to deliver the parts to me in San Jose. Here is a photo of that me...

T4Tom

William, can you give us some details on the car? The three exhaust pipes on the right and plug wires on the left suggest a Frontenac head.

brasscarguy knows his fast T stuff. If he says it's fast and loud, I believe him!

Tom

T4Tom

My new Fronty manifolds arrived.

Kevin did an excellent job. They look fantastic and will look even better on some engines.

Thanks to Kevin for making these parts available.

Tom

T4Tom

Layden, I just sent you an email. I''ll buy the front plate if it's still available.

Thanks,
Tom

T4Tom

Dave, I have basically everything I need to build three more speedsters. What I need are recommendations for engine builder is Nor Cal.

T4Tom

I won an Ebay auction for a Rajo BB head and parts in October 2009. It turned out that Humble Howard Genrich was the seller! Here is a photo of Humble and Fast Frank along with my treasure. The two gentleman drove up to San Jose, CA to personally deliver the parts to me. Fine gentleman, indeed! Now ...

T4Tom

Dan, are you available for consultation and build advice as I described in my original post?

I am looking to build some serious speedster engines and would like to work with someone in Nor Cal.

Tim D.

I am interested in your dual fire distributor. Are you producing them for sale? You can PM or email through the forum if you do not want to post details here.

T4Tom

Hi Dan,

I sent you an email through the Forum. I am looking for advice on building some speedster engines using the Rajo and Fronty heads I own. Your advice will be greatly appreciated. Is there a better way to contact you?

Tom

T4Tom

Kevin, I would like 2. I PM'd you a few backs if you recall.

T4Tom

Chad, you could make the drive down Old Priest Grade a double-dog dare you bonus challenge for those who wish to test their bravery and brakes after making the drives over Sonora Pass and Tioga Pass. I'd like to get more info on your drive over Sonora Pass. How was your T set up? I have been wanting...

T4Tom

I personally would not attempt this in a stock T. The drive up and over Sonora pass is one of my favorite routes but has many long, steep grades both up and down. I would be a nervous wreck driving a T with stock brakes and stock oiling system. Be prepared to stand on the low pedal for a looong time...

T4Tom

Hello, I would love to buy your Fronty SR set up. Is it still available?

Wow, that was the best movie I've seen in ages. Thank you Tim for posting this and what an awesome gift you leave for your family by recording this. Well done, sir. I watched it straight through, it's captivating! Your grandpa describes the whole thing in the most nonchalant manner. 1750 miles in bo...

There is a great article in Road & Track about the Bradford Model T Girls.

Greg, Thanks for your thought provoking post. History is riddled with those whose egos got the best of them. Below is a link to an article in Road&Track on Fordlandia. I have been thinking about posting the link for a few days but your post sealed the deal. https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/a...

T4Tom

Pete, your car is spectacular! Please post more details. What frame are you using?

Great job.

T4Tom

Check out the Northwest Vintage Speedster website's Technical Page. They uploaded a bunch of MTFCA articles on speedsters, endurance runs and hill climbs. Major drool factor here: https://www.nwvs.org/Technical/MTFCA/MTFCASubjectArticles.shtml Here is screen shot from one of the MTFCA articles on NW...

I'm the one in the back:

T4Tom

Are any of those Fronty cranks?

T4Tom

Hi Pete,

I too recently bought one of Dan's AC cable linkage assemblies. I am going to hook them to a repo RMB assembly. Please post pictures of your installation. I'll do the same but it may not be for a while.

Tom

T4Tom

Hi Kevin,

Check the Technical Section at the Northwest Vintage Speedster website. Here is the link: https://www.nwvs.org/technical-reference/

There are some great articles in the Vintage Ford. I'll take a DO Gallivan, please!

T4Tom

Scott,

Your Paco is spectacular. I love the lowered stance, it really makes the car look sporty. To my taste, a T speedster or racer needs to get closer to the ground to make it look like.....a speedster. The color is also great.

Is that a Model C Roof head?

Tom

T4Tom

Here's mine. It was built by my grandfather in the early '70s. My 15 year old son is in the driver's seat for the start of the 2015 Santa Clara endurance run.
