Since I am dumb on anything other than spokes I have a question. Are these painted silver or bare metal?
They look great Scott

Uh-oh rivet jack is too big for the front.

I just sized mine up also and will snag a couple threaded couplings so I can cut them down. I assume you are doing the same? Did you cut the rivet length?

dmdeaton

That looks great
Good job
I am getting ready to do some riveting on mine soon

Looking for top irons and a windshield. Real or reproduction is fine. Building a roadster pickup and these are a couple big items I need

I know Mac's gets them from Howells and they told me May of next year. I found the same rear quarter panels on Ebay from Howells that shows stock. Who to believe?

dmdeaton

Who makes and sells patch panels for the T's?

dmdeaton

Andrew, Where did you get the tailgate hinges? They are new.. ha! 10 inch strap hinges on strait pintles.. bolted thru the rear wood cross member. 8 inch hinges were too short. Andy Tractor supply or rural king? I will go tonight and snag a set! I love these trucks, you guys are doing a great job!

dmdeaton

Andrew,
Where did you get the tailgate hinges?

dmdeaton

Nice
I am starting on mine now

Adam Doleshal uses and recommends these. Made in USA (Wisconsin). I believe you can contact him through the forum.

I use nothing but the graphite on the Mosel A’s. Why don’t we use them on the T’s?

Collecting parts for my 2 projects I am building and raising cane with Hank for getting me into this hobby. So far I have never driven one and building 2 at the same time

I ordered some new parts from the wagon people out west and scored this for free today. I am building a rusty pickup and might be able to salvage one side of this to make 2 bed sides for the roadster. At the least I got some cool hardware

dmdeaton

Ken
I am interested if Ben isn’t
Thanks

dmdeaton

Will be dust in the wind soon

dmdeaton

Do all roadster pickups of these 2 years have the metal shelf that extends from the seat back to the rear frame cross member? I assume this shelf is what the turtle deck or the pickup bed sets onto?
Is this needed with a wooden pickup box?

dmdeaton

^^^^^^^i like the pig in the truck also
Weather vane is on my project list!

dmdeaton

very cool!

I would be interested in all the stamped spindle wrenches stacked up!

I had four Harbor Freight stands that I bought cheap at a garage sale. The numbers on them didn't match the notice, but they sure matched the pictures, so I tossed them anyway.

Mine look exactly the same also and I’m trading them to Hank for a better set

Darn
Mine are 62392
I will always be thinking of this while under them

For us new people, what the heck is a belly sling?

But if Tim makes them I probably want one!

I find this whole thread totally invasive and inappropriate. It is none of anyone's business except for #29 and his family.

We fight over the same subject when dressing up and re-enacting the 1700’s. I build flintlocks and knives, everything I work on has to have patina. Build a brand new rifle and beat it with various objects to give it a worn look. Others build their stuff new with the thought that items didn’t look 20...

Looks great. Who dropped your front axle? I am looking to have one done.

Guy out west, been a year since I bought it and cannot remember but will try to look it up. They do a lot of hot rod axles.

My cheap old speedster project so far. Someone in Tennessee has been prodding me with a long stick and giving me these goofy ideas.

Spar varnish
It hardens somewhat like hard plastic. I use it on wooden boats all the time. I’m not sure if I like this application for it but I don’t know much anyway

dmdeaton

What type of varnish are u guys referring to? Gasket varnish with the Indian chief ?

dmdeaton

They look nice
I need to snag a set soon

dmdeaton

Cool stuff guys
I have a couple old micrometers but have never seen any dial indicators like those. Very cool

dmdeaton

I need that for my speedster, but wouldn't know how to start it.

dmdeaton

I sent you a email

dmdeaton

While working on my first T engine and reading and asking all my dumb questions on here I got to thinking. I haven’t ran across any information on what measuring devices they used back in the day. I have a few old micrometers, I guess they must have had them. What about dial indicators? Did they use...

IMG_2471.JPG so here is my driveshaft style header on my fordor. There was a fellow making these on the HAMB forum, but he quit the header business. I am building the race style body speedster using Dave Currier's body. I haven't decided which way to go with the exhaust yet. Good timing for this th...

dmdeaton

I have the Red's model A header hanging in my shop. I will mock it up on my speedster frame and take a couple pics. Would you guys rather start a new thread out of the classifieds? I don't like the idea of a adaptor. There are enough gaskets and such in that area without one.

dmdeaton

Would anyone have a good line art saved file of the 1912 Ford sign? While sitting around in isolation I thought I might like to try my hand at painting a sign to hang in my shop.

dmdeaton

I would be up for one if Red's started making again, I will call them. They just changed owners. I need one for my speedster/racer

I have the plate from Dan M. on here to weld a set up, but far from getting to trying it.

dmdeaton

Yes I will take the oil can

dmdeaton

I don’t have a roadster but like to have one with a box like this. If I build the box u guys will talk my wife into the rest?
