I was thinking like Susanne, a "Ford the universal car" triangle like is on my hat.

This is wonderful.

So the number on the block will be off from days to months from the day the car was actuality assembled. Seems the standard we've been using for years is seriously flawed. Is there any record of what numbers were allotted to which factories making engines or what numbered engines went to which assem...

I think most of the vendors use the first part of the Ford number followed by a letter or/and number for their own inventory purposes. There was a time when Ford (Motor Co.) claimed possession of the parts book numbers and vendors had to invent their own, but that seems to have been resolved. Likely...

Kim, Hopefully filling in some history of your B. From FJ’s post on Facebook. Talking with Wayland today on the phone ... This particular car might be the earliest recognized Ford in mostly original condition that came out of Ford’s first purpose built factory. Hap Tucker has been asked to help find...

This MAY be one.

Looking for a good picture or better yet a single or pair of Tee shaped closed car door handles used in 1921, between the bail handles and the "L" shaped ones. Thankyouverymuch!

Anybody ever RTV lenses into the rims. Got a beautiful Rim with bad clips.

WANTED TO BUY Need a pair or outside door handles for my '21 (June) coupe. Usable without replating, want to keep some patina going. Believe Tee shaped is correct. Thanks.

I go to the classified when somebody mentions they have something for sale that interests me on this forum.

Never saw one like this, real?

There is a 1909 2 lever, #9110, right hand drive, in Albreta Canada, on ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1909-Ford-Model-T-Roadster-Runabout/153633880733. Is it real? The person that listed it doesn't seem to be a T person. I'm not an '09 expert but I'm sure there's one on board. Don't see it mentione...

All of a sudden you can't buy oils like Pennzoil 10W-30 It seems that oils were no longer adequate for engines with turbochargers, etc. so they have changed the spec and the only oils available are synthetic and rated for your turbocharger. None of my antiques have a turbocharger. But soon I guess I...

Ditto!

Art's company, Vintage Steam Products, now belongs to a couple in Dallas. I don't see the tubing on their website.

The other swap meet is in Strausburgh PA at the PA Railroad Museum, held in conjunction with the annual HCCA BBC tour.

I don't think warping is caused by the heat, rather by the peening action of the grains of blasting media. I have bead blasted too many chassis parts to count but I will not media blast sheet metal! Paint stripper, but that has its own problems healthwise.

Any records of these suppliers?
B92366 `1921 (?) Coupe

Who supplied centerdoor, Couplet, and coupe bodies?

Ron patterson you may get my core.

Underside of seat, tacks, no staples.

I have looked at many things on my 1921 coupe that make me think that it was a solid original car with not a lot of use when it was "restored" in the mid 1980's. It was carefully stored in 1987, and saw light of day next in November of 2018. One thing I wonder about is the upholstery on the seats an...

I've seen all kinds of records For Model Ts but I've never seen any way of determining which plant a specific serial number car came from. Is there any way to track this? I'm talking later cars not early brass ones.

I need to replace the tires on my 1921 Coupe as they are a bit hard and at least 32 years old. My intention with this car is that it be a reasonable runner not a show car but if I'm fixing something to upgrade it along the way. The demountable rims were painted silver when the car was restored in th...

Dental floss has many uses, that's a new one. Duly noted. Thankyouverymuch!

“The T” worked fine on the ‘13 until a ‘21 coupe entered the picture. So “the T” ‘s friend was named after a long loved golden retriever, named after a car, in the garage when the golden came home, Lizzie. Disney be d#$@d. Cars are not conciously named, they just come along.

Dan, I’ll buy your logic.

Replacing the starter. Was a bit taken back by round head screws used to mount the starter. Why? Bolts make more sense to me. This one is not a show car. Yea or nea?

Using those plastic clamps on a spring terrify me! The energy in that spring released in a millisecond can do serious damage. Use a real forged steel clamp, please
