Re: 1927 parts from Langs, what are they
My thrashed '21 still had the pans. It was also STD. bore and had the original Ford script head gasket leaving me to believe that the engine had never been worked on. This car was completely thrashed and then driven 10's of thousands more miles. Way Way past being simply wore out.

Re: This will be my last picture post because I am
Unusual! Many Californians are moving out of California! I hope you will change your mind and post some more. I realize, you might not have any more left, but you could start again.

Re: Replacing firewall on my 1921.
I think most everything is out of the way. Most of the original firewall was burned.

Re: Looking for tips on going back to natural colored spokes...
I have just had new spokes put into the wheels of my rusty old T. Naturally they stick out like a sore thumb. I have found that watering them every couple of days causes them to Grey and look much more like the rest of the car. Think about the fence around your yard. Where the sprinklers hit the woo...

This is how my T looked when I took it to The California Highway Patrol for verification. California does not make you have your vehicle inspected yearly.

Re: 1920/21 Touring dating question
In CA I have found it very easy to get a title. As long as the vehicle isn't registered in another name. Simply fill out an Application for title. A Statement of facts of where it came from. Have the serial number verified by DMV or sometimes CHP. Pay some money and walk out with your plates. Keep i...

Noticing large flakes of rust in my radiator I drained and flushed my cooling system. Then I refilled it with a mixture of RUST911 concentrate. I left it in for 24 hours, and even drove the car with it in without any problem. When drained the clear concentrate came out black. I repeated the operatio...

Re: What is black finish on tools?
Parkerizing is an effective rust preventive treatment that leaves things black or grey. You can but it on eBay or amazon.com and do it at home. The solution is mixed with water and can be reused. https://www.ebay.com/itm/264552830164?hash=item3d9893d4d4:g:eH8AAOSw0Udd4~ec https://www.amazon.com/s?k=...
