A lot of good cold storage advice from everyone. Thanks all!

IMG_4528.JPG Well, it's been a fun year for me and Woodrow (the name I gave my newly restored T). Three parades, 3 shows and one Best Classic award. There's another cruise-in late October (might be brrrrrr by then). My friend will be stored in an unheated building with OAT's in sub-freezing conditi...

Just wondering. Is there any help for braking power for my '25? Linkage set, band adjusted but really have to apply a lot of force to slow to a stop. I anticipate a stop well in advance, use low speed compression before braking. What, if any other considerations are there? I've heard good and bad ab...

The second parade this year for my T roaster pickup is today, July 4. It's a blast seeing reactions from a crowd; old, young and in between.

Good thoughts on the aluminum heat shield. Did you use screws to attach it to the plywood?

Some good points made. I appreciate the input. I'm looking foreword to the parade experience

Is anyone using a heat insulation product such as Dynamat to insulate the underside of the floor boards? Does is make any sense to do so?

I've been driving my restored '25 T Roadster PU for 2 weeks now. My driving comfort level is getting better each day. Understand I never have driven A Model T before this. But I have driven on some of the higher traffic, 4 lane streets lately. There is an annual theme parade in town in one week that...

I just completed a restoration on my '25 using front/rear sidelights from an '18 0r '19 T converted to signal.stop lights. There are numerous sellers for these sidelights on Ebay. I got mine from a local old time car restorer that has a graveyard of T, A and other cars. Assuming you have a 12v conve...

Thanks for all the comments & suggestions. What I am finding out is the clutch pedal is not coming up fully to engage high gear, I can reach down and engage with my hand and it will. About 1 to 1/2" slop in the pedal to make the full travel.

IMG_4435.JPG IMG_4430.JPG It's been a year & a half in the making. It's a '25 Roadster PU. 12v conversion. Opted to go with the available oak bed kit. I res poked and used the same stain/sealer for the spokes and bed. Obviously I took liberties with some originality, the body color for one. It is m...

Need a little troubleshooting help please.
Accelerating in low and release of the clutch pedal: High gear shift is real sloppy now. Almost can't get into the gear.
What is the fix for this?
Thanks

Thanks for this pic. It's a great photo of early 20th century life struggles.

Thanks for the pic Tim. Can you give me the battery info? The pic is not clear enough to read.

It has been converted to 12v

Any thoughts for a new battery for my '25 T Roadster pu? Size, amp, etc?

Continuation of mechanical inspections and any necessary repair. Preparation of body for painting. These are all performed by a long standing antique car restoration shop in my close proximity. Very fortunate to have these guys near. After paint I will install an oak pickup bed and upholstery at my ...
