I have a new batch of oil filler accessories available. I can hold the price of $90, ppd on the bare aluminum style, but need $95 ppd for the Red or Matte Black powder coated ones. I have a couple people on the wait list and will take care of them at the previous price. Tmorsher@icloud.com to get on...

Yes, Hank. I’ve heard said “ want to make a million dollars in the model T ford business? Start with 2 million ! “.

Yes, and yes and both a bunch of BS, Bob. This is why I try to find buyers here first. I usually get more money on eBay, but it’s not all about money.

Even much later hubcaps are getting very hard to find. I’ll bet I went through 40 just to get 4 good ones to restore.

Dropacent

Yes, and also an accurate SS exhaust pipe. The last stainless steel setup I bought was about 10 years ago. The pipe didn’t even come close to fitting, and the muffler, even though nicely stamped had the most horrible looking stick welds holding it together i’d ever seen. I will not state where I bou...

A shout out to brother Dave Hanlon and his daddy for saving this piece. He sold it to me nearly 2 years ago, practically gave it to me because it was in shreds, and actually in two pieces.

I was the caretaker of one of these about ten years ago. I couldn’t afford to keep it very long, and it went to a fellow ford collector, who has recently passed on.

IMHO , these plans and the work of Mr. Parker and Mr. Miller would best be served by a younger person purchasing them, and continuing on the small cottage industry of supplying them.

Michael, I remember an article somewhere that jumped deep into the oil can history. I cannot remember where it was, and not sure actual dates were pinned down. Someone could post that on the forum.

Your price is fair for that part if someone needs it. That is amazing retrofit, Stan! My only experience was with a NOS example I found in a local antique shop. It was a great find.

I had a batch made about 15 years ago. About 25 if I remember, and thought I’d probably die with them. I think I sold the last one about a year ago. Yes, there are different sizes, but can’t imagine someone’s that anal to worry about 1 or 2 mph.

Dropacent

Scott and others. Notice the detail where the small carriage bolts are offset. This is to prevent the board from splitting. This detail is also often seen on T truck and hack bodies made back in the day, especially in flooring construction. A note to builders of new bodies!
