Great photos and a wonderful piece of T history in them.
Thanks for sharing...

Private message sent. Please check it out. There’s also a young lady in LA that’s talked with me about standing up a MTFCA Chapter. I stand ready to help you in any way I can.

I found it interesting for the most part. A lot of money put into that project. A good winter read.

As Nov 10th comes to a close I’d like to thank each and every member and chapter/ club that donated to the MTFCA. We appreciate the support so many of you have given, especially at this most difficult time. The Board of Directors and Executive Director will insure these funds are put to good use in ...

Board of Directors donated because we believe in the MTFCA and sustaining it for the future. Not everyone can give a hundred or a thousand dollars, but if hundreds gave $10 or $20 that’s what makes an impact. Thanks to the clubs for their unwavering support. This virus has hit us all hard - but as m...

Thank You John.

Awesome photos - thanks for posting.
A few would make great posters.

A few more photos - hope ya don't mind

I wanted to share with you about a great T Tour we just had in Parke County Indiana of their beautiful Covered Bridges. With respect to the Covid-19 virus guidelines and attendees understanding, the West- Central Indiana Model T'ers put on a wonderful and safe tour. There was approximately 54 T's fr...

Thanks for the really great photos - enjoyed them a lot.

Looks like an awesome time was had by all !

Tunnel vision.

So glad you both walked away from the accident.
Good assessment and reaction.

Thanks for posting - makes us think proactively.

Hagerty insurance will allow you ( for a bit extra - depending on the valve you determine) to also insure for “ Cherished Replacement”, if the car is totaled, they write you the check AND you keep the vehicle. I’ve done this on a few, like the Coupelet and 16 Centerdoor. If your value is out of reas...

From various T Tours

Welcome - you are one awesome young man ! It makes my heart happy to see you in a Model T and know you'll keep it's history alive. You'll find lots of good advise here on the Forum to help you along with your T. Can't wait to see you on a tour in a year or two.

The Covered Bridge Tour is still a go at this time - per Brian Jordan who is a POC for it.

The Tour is separate from the festival.

Hope to see some of you there !

Kathy T

It went to a very good home with lots of other Ts to hang with.

The youth is the answer to the survival of these beautiful old cars. We've got to engage them !! Rides, getting their photo in a T and joining the MTFCA Model T Explorer Club are but a few ways. There are approximately 150 in the Explorer club now, since it started Sept/Oct 2019. It is for ages 7 - ...

Can you please post a few interior (especially rear seat area, doors open and back of the front seat).
It's a gorgeous car that'd make anyone proud to own (hole or not).

Thank You

Along with everyone here - welcome to a great hobby, if not for some, a life style of Model T care And enjoyment. We’re thrilled to see A young person, such as you engaging in Keeping the history and love of these beautiful ole cars. But I must warn you that once you have a decent handle on your cur...

What a great visit to see the many updates and changes made - it keeps getting better and better. The Staff and Volunteers continue to amaze me with their ideas to invigorate the museum. And Rich Eagles paintings are simply beautiful - stunning - they accent the showroom just right. We are very fort...

Believe registration has been extended again until 13 July.

She's one lucky young lady - some of my best memories is of working with my Dad in the garage and in the pits at the
race track. Got grease under my nails now - just put the engine back into the 22 Coupe.

Jim - you just light up my life!

WOW awesome collection.
Thanks for the tour...

At this point - I'm thinkin even Henry would be impressed AND disappointed that the line didn't have one looking this good coming off it.

Application date for submission extended to 15 July. Folks - this is free $$$$ to help a senior. They DO NOT need to be related to you. The kid down the street / next door who showed an interest in your T, just state that and submit their name with a bit of information. The student doesn't even have...

Thank you Mr Lee for your unwavering service to this country, especially at a time when it was unpopular to be in the military. I’m thoroughly impressed you retired as a SMSgt - not something easily done in those years - you must have been one tough - sharp - professional in your career field. Thank...

OUTSTANDING - planning our visit now to check out all the upgrades and great changes, displays, Ford Agency, etc...the museum Staff and Volunteers have made.

The Ohio Jamboree- on my T must do list. Must do in 2021 then

Sounds like a grand tour. Wish Florida wasn't so far away.
Hope everybody is and remains safe & healthy throughout their travels to/from and on the tour.
Looking forward to your tour report - enjoy.

Got the passenger side door hinge post and top "s twist" piece for our 23 Roadster. Classic Wood Products "Ricky" was great! had the pieces to me within 2 weeks. I know they can't work that fast for everything - but what a great guy to talk to ! Now to fit them in. The only 2 pieces found to be rott...

: Sierra Vista 2019 with the white stuff.

To those concerned - as a member of the MTFCA Board of Directors - the decision to postpone the Spokane 2020 National Tour wasn’t made easily. Lengthy discussion on the pro/ con Was held by the Board. Along with the concern over the hard work and efforts Matt Hanson and the Inland Empire Chapter Mem...

You'll have a good time in your new coupe. We love our '25 Coupe for cool/cold weather touring. Rebuilt engine and tranny - she hauls butt. Was mistaken for having a ruckstell in it hauling up the hills.

Saw your request. I'm a distant club member of the Austin Club. I sent your info to John Anderson - you should get a call. They're a great group to hang with. Meetings held at a catfish house (with other good food too). Hope to see you at a meeting in the future.

Thanks for giving me a good laugh. Keep em coming !

Absolutely Stunning !

[image][/image]Reading through my new Hagerty magazine, sipping my tea. Lo and behold on page 32 is a good story of Jim DellaRatta and his ‘24 Roadster. Always good to see the T represented.

Great way to support the club supporting the T hobby. Plus the magazine is awesome !

A Black Beauty - hope to be lucky enough see it in person one day.

Thanks - what a great history lesson and information.

Pretty neat - I like it.

Your wife’s not sure we need another carrier

Looks great & ready to roll.......

Wow - Don Booth would love to see this - check out the door side lamps - beautiful.

I got on both webinars this morning and things went great. It just might take a bit to get the hang of it - but it’s an awesome application that I foresee great uses for. Don’t give up on it.

Too cool - thanks for posting.

Folks - although the museum is closed I encourage you to continue to shop the store. This is the perfect time to get that book you’ve wanted to read or add to your collection. Don’t forget the hats and shirts too. With the museum closed to visitors now is the time, if you can, to help support it.

Looks like your adhering to the social distancing in the best way possible - nice pic !

What a really neat video. Thanks

Got a great HCCT from Jim Golden and your HCCT book is coming is helping me understand it’s workings - thanks !

Cool photos and information!

If it’s an early 23, it may be a wood firewall. My ‘23 Touring still has the wood firewall. I think most were converted in May/ June to metal.

Really nice photos!

After looking into “searching for someone” I found that if I tap on your name on the post it will bring up your information. Scroll down this and you’ll also be able to send that person a message, it has some good info there.

Good threat discussion. I’ll bring this to the attention of the web master at the MTFCA Board of Directors Meeting the end of this week. Hopefully I’ve bookmarked this correctly to bring the question/ suggestion of searching “who someone is because some us other names/ monikers.

Thanks for posting the Rip Van Winkle T, it’s a beauty

Rich Eagle - beautifully said. I have ( what I consider) museum quality Ts and I have bumped and bruised Ts. Regardless of which we’re in they always bring smiles, stories and new friends.

This is one gorgeous automobile.................

Thank you for the wood table info / interesting.

Don, the most educational thread on the forum. It’s gone from “ restore T 101” to “Advanced Centerdoor theory, design and rebuild” a for PhD. It’s an education that keeps me checking / comparing things on my ‘21 Centerdoor with original wavey top. Anxious to see this beauty start up and take its mai...

Love the photo.

Only have room for 2 more Ts unless I toss the truck & trailer out - but those keys are sweet........

What a lucky you man !
Oh the years of fun he’ll have......

That’d sure look nice next to the Coupelet you sent us.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Sam & Emily trucking it.....

Sam and Emily cruisin in the Coupe.

Does the hubs come with them? Can you send me a photo please?

T looks good as is !!!!!

Sir, I’m looking for a trunk lock and key to fit a 1916 Coupelet. My email is kltagert@aol.com
. Thank you.

Looking for a 1916 trunk key if anyone has one they’d let go.

Outstanding - what interesting discovery of and putting it all together. Over 100 years later we’re still discovering Henry.

We were fortunate to obtain a beautiful 1916 Model T. Freighter Jim handled its transported from CA to FL with exceptional care. He was here when he said he would be and brought us the best Christmas present!

We were so fortunate to obtain a 1916 Model T and have Freighter Jim transport it from CA to FL. Beautiful car that Jim took exceptional car of. He handled her with kid gloves. Thanks Jim for making this Christmas a special delivery one!

My ‘23 roadster needs some minor wood replaced at the passenger door to cowl area; the post and an ‘S’ style top piece. Seems we have to buy an entire kit to get two pieces. We gave up trying to call Fordwood and leaving messages. We’re just going to try and cut/ carve ourselves. Good luck on your r...

Beautiful picture that reflects how the season should be approached - joyful and blessed.
Wishing all a very Merry Christmas wherever you are and looking forward to a New Year.

Thanks Sonny - George House, appreciate the support.

Outstanding - hope to make it this year. Hear so much about what fun the Hillbilly tours are.

Great info - I might even try to fix one of our magneto horns.

Thank you Don.

Dan - you rebuilt an engine for our 25 coupe, sent to you by Gator. Wow - it runs like a scalded cat - took it to Indiana covered bridge tour, then to the Texas T Party - folks thought we had a Ruckstell in it as we breezed up the hills. Thanks for such a professional job !

Thanks Jim. Love passing on our passion for the T. Hoping Jackson gets his parents approval to hang out with us at the T Barn.

Absolutely wonderful and well deserved attention for this beautiful piece of history.
