So glad you got it running but you may want to be careful using your right hand to crank it with. Check past forum posts on using your left hand to prevent a broken arm if it kicks back on you.

Herb,

In your last photo do you have any idea of what kind of truck that is?

Is he taking a truck load of "old Hens" to market?

perry kete

Beautiful car.

The license plate numbers in the painting match the license plate numbers in Antons's photo and the car looks very similar.

perry kete

Allen,

Thanks for the heads up. I will double check with Art before he makes any decisions about this radiator.

The measurement was taken with the tape under the bottom of the top tank to the top of the bottom tank so the 17 inches should be just the core.

perry kete

Art, I have this radiator that measures 17" core. I know the bottom outlet is bad and I don't know what condition the core is in. If you only want the top tank, I can cut the radiator in half and ship only the top to save on shipping or I am willing to ship the whole radiator. Make me an offer for t...

If you clean up the area around the ring you can use a clear silicon caulking that will hold like glue but can be cut with a razor knife if you ever need to remove it.

Great pictures as always.
The first picture and the 9th picture have the same touring car in them.

Chris, Rich Eagle had a running White bus and many White truck parts, and they are being offered at his estate online auction that is running right now. You may want to look at it online to see if there is anything that you can use to restore your truck. Most of the White truck parts are on page 9 b...

I really enjoyed the camping video it was very informative and well done. I have viewed your other videos and hope you keep posting them.

Keith,
You may want to contact the auction service listed above in the link.

Try looking at the stamp under a blacklight. Sometimes that light shows hard to read images.

I had a similar problem and discovered that the fuel line shut off valve was defective. When I opened the valve the two holes did not line up causing a partial blocked fuel line. The car would idle and run down the road when I went slow but when I tried to speed up it would buck, jump and stall out....

perry kete

I see I'm not the only one who has the picture viewing problem. I thought my computer was having issues. Hopefully it will remedy itself soon.

I wish Bob all the best and hope his auction is a success.

I don't see what it matters if the auction is online or in person you would have to drive to the location either way. I think the advantage of the online auction is you don't have to make the trip if you didn't win.

perry kete

Dave, Thanks for posting the video what a great story.

Try to locate picture matting board material it is thick and comes in a variety of colors. Perhaps someone who frames photographs and posters could assist you in locating it.

Mitch, that is a great children's page and a good way to introduce them to history. Keep up the great work.

I assume B a T means "Bring a Trailer" and I found a 1907 Ford Model R listed at $10,000. I thought they were valued higher than that. Is there something drastically wrong with the car?

The nice thing about a mechanic that size is he can walk under the car to check the oil level without bending over.

I would remove the hose and water pipe to see if it could be accessed from under the water pump. If they got it on there you can get it off.

The can on the side of the first pictured reads:
"Frozen light from General Electric ***** below zero"
They have either developed an interior frosted bulb (1925) or have a bulb that works in very cold temps.

It is thicker than a Model T wrench and weighs 1lb 4oz.

With the Model T on rollers do you have enough room to turn it sideways in the one bay?

If you're looking for a small gas tank, I think one from an older push lawnmower would work. They hold a couple of gallons and would be easy to connect. I may have one in my shop somewhere if you're interested, I can go look for it.

perry kete

Eric, I did not consider the heat factor and that's a good point about the heat factor when adding a gasket type material or the electrical heat shrink tubing that I mentioned.

perry kete

If you want to aid in the wire retainer not slipping or rattling, then you could always slide a piece of electrical heat shrink over the wire and when you heat it the wrap would stick to the wire.

perry kete

If you're not trying to save it just take a Dremel tool with a cut off wheel and cut down both sides to split it in half get it off

When I Googled "Vintage Jaeger Altimeter" the only ones that showed up were for aircraft.
There was one listed for the time period of 1925 to 1950 but again it was for aircraft. They were asking $8,500.

Rich,

I believe that Coupe was known as the "Abe Lincoln Coupe" because he would have been able to drive it with his hat still on and it was named after him in his memory.

Take some scrap wood from your project build and do test staining on them. It's best to see what the wood looks like when stained and varnished. Better to buy small cans of test stain than to stain the entire project and not like it.
