I believe the firewall is in a pile of other sheet metal and fenders

I'll try and take a photo today of the lower half of the c cab.

I haven't checked this post in a while.

Thanks for the info Gene, this one doesn't have an open drive shaft. It's a very nice chassis to build a fun project.

You have real diamondbacks where you live! The eastern diamondbacks are much larger than the north pacific species we have here.

Free T parts, and free diamondback hat bands!

Lots of front axels!

Yes, we just found a 10 button under some sheet metal.

The snakes here are friendly, you can pet them if you're fast!

Trust but verify Phone calls are a must, sceen shot photos are a big red flag! I advertised on the HCCA.org website several years ago for an open valve block. Magically a young man from Los Angeles had just what I needed... a great story about his grandfather collecting them and had several. When I ...

Lots of fenders and wheels

Yes, it's really well done. Still in great shape.

We've had some good rains here, and things are greening up!

I was planning on building a bus body. The springs in the back should hold lots of weight.

There are two extra TT rolling chassis for the taking also one with the lower half of a C cab body. Swing by the ranch with a big trailer! Lots of good free stuff.. even found a early Studebaker radiator in the pile, and an Emf hood from about 1910.. lots of other stuff ! The rules are, once you dri...

Hi all, I have this great truck conversion chassis free to a good home. Very nice condition, you can still see the pinstripes on the side of the frame.

Comes with.lots of extra t parts. Fenders, touring car doors, wooden wheels, all free!

Is the touring body a reproduction? Does he still have the original hearse body it came with?

Very nice early engine!

How many two lever Fords still exist?

One more time, looking for a ride to the west coast for a set of 1909 model t fenders. Any help appreciated.
Michael

Hi all, is any one driving back from Hershey to California that has room for a set of model t fenders?
I'm located near Nevada City in Northern California.

Any help appreciated

Mike

Not sure how they would work. Interesting accessory.

Hi all, I found this while digging through a container of old parts. Does anyone know the history of these?? Used on stationary engine?

Mike

I'm a little concerned what spindle means in Scamlandia? Anyone brave enough to click on the link?

Got an email though the forum. It said said email Deborah, she has one in perfect condition! Click on her email link...

Hi all, I'm in need of a right side one piece spindle.
Any help appreciated.
Mike

Wow lots of early Ts... it was interesting to read the serial numbers on the pdf download... The 09s in particular..28xx. Is a low number.. but the other two are higher than the 1909 serial number range. I wish they had more photos of the engines, rear ends ect Has anyone been in to preview ? It wou...

Hi all, looking for inlet and outet fittings to build some early gas tanks.. if you have any rusted out tanks, I'd like to buy the fittings. Any help appreciated.

Looks like a fun project

Thanks for posting the photos! Again, another great swap meet in Auburn! There was lots of interest in the 15 touring, it's a great driving car, with rocky mountain brakes. I was giving rides last week to a group of kids, they all had a great time! (Including me the big kid) The green roadster pick ...

This is a great swap meet. There will be a 1915 model T touring for sale. Less than 100 miles on a rebuilt engine and transmission. 12k. Also a 20 hp stanley steamer engine I was thinking about adapting it to a Model T chassis. It has interesting rear-end adapted to the engine now. NRS parts also.

Wow unbelievable amout of rain! Our hearts are with you. In Northern California we call these events atmospheric rivers. The right mixture of ocean temperature, currents, high and low pressure systems all line up to dump a river of rain! These events in California happen on a 100 to 200 year cycle. ...

Hi all, I hoping for some history on the aftermarket gas tank suppliers. Not available? Who has the patterns for inlet and outlet castings? Was the business offered for sale? I plan on making one for my 09 . The sheet metal forming doesn't look that difficult. I'd prefer not to rob my original tank ...

Hi all, looking for a pair of 09 rear fenders.
Any help appreciated
Mike

Wow great deal with all of the extras! The the perfect lathe for the home shop.

Another chance to find model T treasures on June 1st!

Mother lode Model T Ford Swap Meet!

This is a great meet, always lots of great stuff!

Gold Country Fairgrounds, Auburn California...

Day one of the meet was awesome! I found some amazing parts! Hats off to the organizers!

I wish I could stay for Saturday, but work calls, (the curse of the small business owner)

You will not be disappointed if you're going tomorrow!

I'm bringing an nrs steering column, and a 20hp Stanley engine I was thinking about adapting it to a model t chassis.. "Henry's T Pot" ??? It has a later rear end adapted to it now.... guaranteed to fly if you have the nerve to light a fire to it. As always, I'll bring way more home than what I'm ta...

I have an NRS front axel also.

Sorry, I have an NRS column, and I need the 09 parts.

Erik barrett and will take the last 3 new day timers

Would like to trade for 09 front spindles, 09 radiator, or 466 brass head lights.

Can you post detailed photos?
Thanks, Mike

The sextant is an amazing tool. The one pictured is from harbour freight $12.99 , it works, but about zero accuracy. I thought would be fun to mount on my 1909 touring, claiming to have the first car GPS. I'm looking for a used one in the 1840 vintage. This may seem a little crazy, but I have a rare...

This was all triggered by archeological work I've been involved in. We've uncovered some trails that have been abandoned since 1856. Walking in his footsteps is like time travel back to the 1800s. The trees that were blazed are very slow growing blue oaks. One we found was listed as 30" diameter oak...

Yes, it was just meant to be a joke. I was surprised to learn many sailor's still carry them as a backup while navigating the ocean. If you read John Fremonts journals from 1842-1846 mapping the west, he would take readings with his sextant everyday. Finding his latitude was by using a pan of water....

Hey guys, found this great GPS device. It'll look great mounted on the dash! Screenshot_20241104_162507_Chrome.jpg All kidding aside, I've been doing some research for an archeological project, and found locations John Fremont mapped while using one of these. We've found an old trail that hasn't bee...

Hi all, I've got an 09 mother inlaw roadster body at Kim Dobbins that I need shipped to Nevada City area. ( 1 hour above Sacramento). Would easily fit in the back of a pickup bed. Anyone heading this way have room?

Should easily fit in a pickup bed

Hi all, I have a roadster body in the San Diego area I need to have shipped to Northern California. I'm about an hour north of Sacramento, but I can drive and meet someone along the way.

I found this in a pile of model t parts, I know it's not model t, but can't figure it out. Any help appreciated.

I would like to build a 1909 mother-in-law roadster body.
If anyone has patterns or measurements it would be much appreciated. Would also consider a repo body.

Thanks, Mike

Bob, it's all tuned up and ready . Load all of your treasures up and drive it home.

The truck will be at the Auburn swap meet June 4th, next weekend. Taking it out today for a cruise around the foothills. It's a fun truck to drive!

New price $6500.

Very nice truck, I wish I had room or I would keep it.
Make me a reasonable offer.

Has new top with original style material.

Runs great we had it out a couple weeks ago. The gear ranges are amazing. It also has a distributor and a Stewart vacuum tank for hills. Also have the original bed strips.

Very nice truck, with Ford script stake bed. Plus high speed gears, ruxtell, and overdrive 3 speed. Very fast for a TT! Great for touring with the cars. Located in Auburn California. .

This is a great swap meet! I've always found early parts, even some mixed in the post war spaces. It's well worth the trip! Lots of brass era treasures!

Yes, thank you Rich.

Hi all, just a few questions about my upholstery project. 1. Button spacing seems to be 3" on center for the front seat back, and 3 1/2" on the front seat bottom. The rear is 3 1/2" on center for the back and bottom. It's been a few years since I've done tufting, I had several books with layout patt...

In all fairness, it may be time to give this car a true evaluation in person by qualified judgement.

I've read many posts about this car, first and foremost, is the frame the correct thickness? Has anyone actually used calipers and checked?

37 x 5 1/2 tires were pricey at $94 each!

I wonder what a kwicklight battery looks like?

New accessories. Ford side lights only $1, tail lights $1.25!

Photo of the yard crew. Check the guy measuring the wheel to the right.

Carburetor and radiator room.

Front cover

My Christmas wish is to have Doc Brown give me a DeLorean ride back to spend the day! I can guarantee I would do something to disturb the space- time continuum! What a dilemma, which one to take and where to hide it!

Wow Rich, beautiful painting! Here's the original with the description. It's a Peerless limousine!

Thanks Steve,. I'm sure the ground all around there would light up a metal detector!

Lots of motors! $75 for a Ford engine!

Looks like an 11 Ford touring sitting there.

While sorting through some boxes of literature, I found a 12 page catalog from the Automobile Exchange and Tire company. This is the back cover photo of the yard. I believe this was posted in a horseless carriage gazette a few years back. This photo was taken in 1919. I wonder what's at that address...

Wow, thank you for the posts, lots of great options! Thanks RV, Perry, and Russ. Don Lang can bring it to Chickasha, Lang's is planning on a space there in 2022. I just posted in case a member had some trunk space that was heading west. Ya just never know, it's a small world. Lots of us Model T guys...

Hi all,. I know this is a longshot, but anyone heading west from Massachusetts to Northern California with space for an early pan? I've considered shipping it by UPS or Fed ex but worry about damage or God forbid getting lost. Any help appreciated.

Looking to replate the brake lever on an 09 touring, does anyone know of a playing service in Northern California?
Any help appreciated.
Mike

Oh yes! That makes sense. It looks like the patent date was stamped on by hand. 1876 amazing workmanship back then.

Thanks for the identification I would have never guessed that.
Mike

I'm not sure if this qualifies as Model T related, but it came with several fruit boxes filled with T parts. I've been scratching my head??? Any ideas? It either bolts to the wall or ceiling, and the wheels roll around inside of the triangle. IMG_20210821_072334274.jpg IMG_20210821_072228677.jpg

Although we've only met by phone, he left a lasting impression. I just viewed the youtube of him playing fiddle, wow what a talented guy!

Meeting him in person must have been quite the experience. In remembrance, we should all follow his example, and live every moment.

Wow that was great! One could only dream about finding one if those early cars, imagine finding it in a
basement or barn, covered with canvas and a two inch layer of dust.

Thanks again, that was very educational!
Mike

Yes, thank you Jerry.

Thank you so much for the information John, that's just what I needed. My pattern has the cutout hole for the column at 11 1/2" from the bottom so it is 9/16" to low. Now I can proceed with the project. And thank you for the file to fit info, I was planning on drilling it on my Bridgeport with an an...

Thank you for the great drawing. All I need is the measurements from the top of the firewall to the center of the steering column hole similar to the way it's shown on the 1913 drawing. If someone with an original 09 firewall could give me that, I will be good to go. What I have as a pattern seems t...

Thank you,. I'll try and connect with them.
Michael Paul

Good morning, is there a drawing of the 09/ 10 firewall with bolt holes and steering wheel location out there?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks Michael Paul

Thank you everyone for your input. I'm a little confused now, so there were 3 square hole aluminum hogshead sizes? 16" , 16 1/4" and 16 3/4" ? I'd like to build the engine with a starter ring gear. My idea was when I get tired of cranking in a few years, I could swap out the pan and hogshead to a la...
