Re: 13T - New Brassworks Radiator

New radiator for my 1913 was purchased last spring. Thank You Brassworks! I do not plan on polishing it so eventually it will match the patina on the rest of the brass lights on the car.

After body being separated from frame for a little over a year, we placed them back together after a thorough mechanical review of the chasis. Fenders, running boards and splash apron were removed when i got it. This the the first time this cut down touring has had the body and those parts on the f...

Re: Mike and Classtique

I have had the good fortune to work with Mike on several upholstery projects on a couple of cars I have owned in the past. Great support from him. The last time I bought a top boot I drove to his new shop in Lindstrom MN. Good thing he has lots of room there as he sure is one busy guy! He always has...

Re: Alive During The Birth Of The Model T!

My wife’s grandmother lived to be 107, passing in 2005. Lived in three centuries! My favorite story she told was of the first time she saw a “horseless wagon”. The family lived on a farm in Finlayson MN, up north. One spring day in 1905 (she was 8 yrs. old) the children were playing in the yard when...

Re: Brass "conversion"

Here is my 1913 (correct chassis with newer wheels and a 1914 windscreen) mated to a 1917 body back in 1953. A very FUN car to drive. I really don’t give a darn about what the experts think.

I’m with Steve J on this.....Rustoleum satin black with a brush is easy to use, durable and touch up blends in nicely.

In the meantime I drove my Model T to the bait shop to pick up leeches for fishing. The Walleye fishing opener is today on the St. Croix River which is the border water with Wis...

Re: restoring springs

I agree with Mark. I did the front and rear springs on my 1913 this past winter. I wire brushed mine, wiped them off and painted with Slip-Plate. No paint or primer as per instructions from a respected old time mechanic in my area. I am very satisfied with the results.

Thanks for adding the video Rolf! I actually saw Dirk gassing up the Model T in Duluth MN. back in 2013. He got away before I could greet him. Rolf, I sent you a PM.

An interesting video of a European Model T journey

Here is a nice story about a winter time trip around Europe in a Model T. Although the language is Finnish, the subtitles allow an understanding of what is transpiring. I think of Steve J. Or Dave H. Or Dean when a see videos of Model T journeys.

Re: Your special T....

I bought my “1913” model T a year ago. I sent a picture of it to Erik Johnson who immediately identified the car as one his father Bob bought off a farm in July 1951 as a 19 yr. old enthusiast. Same car same driver 68 years later.
