I bought my 18 coupelet from Ray Wells some years back. Went to the trouble of collecting upholstery samples and trim and had it weaved to match. Everyone should try that at least once. Being 85 I have found it hard to finish the last 10% to complete it. I know a friend of mine will see this post an...

I bought my DO Gallivan From Joe Gemsa back in the late 60's and sold it to a man in NJ that wanted it more than me. I still have the T block with the B crank in it and a billet flywheel along with several B cranks, it is still setting in the same place for 40 years with the T block drilled T crank ...

Have some questions about 27. If you could give me a call thankyou Mike 208 520 4892

Mikes 1912

The cost of the pump is out of site. The last ones I bought was $260. If you can beat that price let us know where and how much.

Mikes 1912

Dan:
I will take 1 also Mike Husted thanks

Mikes 1912

Has anyone used a 2 post hoist on a model T? What are the difficulties in using it if any? Thanks

Mikes 1912

MR Twinkiee send me your address so you can make room for my 4door!!!!

Mikes 1912

someone sure wanted a front windshield awfully bad. I hope he gets it from the seller, I did not twice.

Looking for early touring rear fender brackets around Aitkin, Mn. Mike 208 520 4892 thanks

Mikes 1912

What is the cost of the service?

Mikes 1912

One thing that is important to do is putting a screen filter on the suction side, pickup tube also. Any lint from the bands going through the system will
clog up and you can burn up an engine or rocker system. We found this out the hard way on a DO.

Mikes 1912

O'reilly Auto Parts still have them or had them on the shelf the last time I checked with them. I use to make the adapter for the generator to the pump
location. Another pump that worked very well, was off of a 1938 Plymouth and it fit under the hogs head and was driven on the back of the cam.

Mikes 1912

What kind of price did you get for a pump? The last one I priced was $179.00 You do not buy a dozen at a time at that price. What kind of check
valve do you use ? Thanks Mike

Mikes 1912

PT was only 1/2 right, WC said the other 1/2, never give a sucker an even break.

Mikes 1912

Thankyou all very much, that is the number I needed. Mike

Mikes 1912

What is the width of a 1922 coupe body at the belt line side to side?

Mikes 1912

Well I have held off saying anything up till now, I cannot hold back any longer but you keep forgetting the most important thing!!! need I remind you...... TTTTTT I had a phone call yesterday setting outside in 18 degree weather answering questions for an hour, are you thinking about doing your magi...

Mikes 1912

The pocket is a good idea, who would have thought of it, other than 2 pockets are better. You know what for. Not spare parts. That screw head in the sill plate is about an 1/8th of a twinkie off, it is OK, if you add another pocket a little bigger. I'm only thinking that if you have company, but the...

Mikes 1912

Someone might think those yellow things that look like bud vases on the door pillars are actually, you guessed it twinkie holders. The one thing that
is missing is the coffee pot and frig. Thankyou for the shell. Mike

Mikes 1912

I had the same problem on some car parts last winter, not once but twice, it was the catalyst, was out of date and it has to be used at a certain temp range, also they do not tell you that catalyst has a short shelf life. You are lucky it was used on top of fiberglass, I had to media blast twice. Sc...

Mikes 1912

The people making seat springs do not care to correct the issue> I had the same issue with the coupelet . That is the way they have built them for 40 years and you cannot reason with that mind set. It is like the hoods they have been making them wrong for 65 years and even when you send them picture...

Mikes 1912

What is that 2 wheeled thing under wraps that has been hidden from public view? It should always be completely covered and have a mask on at all times so as not to infect the project.

Mikes 1912

What is that on the top left shelf? now we know. You have been hiding it from us all along. We wonder how you rewood a 4 door in a week, Amateur status bunk, you are a professional wood worker, it speaks with awards of excellence. I'm still thinking of my sewing machine and jorgenson clamps. I have ...

Mikes 1912

Excellence of excellence......

Mikes 1912

Twinkies made me do it or was it the caramels. I heard some one was looking at another 4 door.

Mikes 1912

I checked with Moore head, Mn and He has nothing. Thankyou Set up the band saw yesterday and tried a 2" piece of ash, you do not want near this with your fingers or any other machine!!!! Thankyou young man I appreciate the good words. Off to replenish my supply of twinkies today, I only have 3 boxes...

Mikes 1912

Twinkie stains heck I can tell the difference between cheep cookies stains and twinkies. As far as the afternoon rest that beets hell out of hot
flashes, I'm an expert on that.

Mikes 1912

Those tin plates that the window straps go through are right. That is a good Idea on the rollers and I will us them but it will take a box of twinkes and
a week to build them. I need to get a new bag of caramels also.

Mikes 1912

As far as the wood clamps go I bought 4 new ones at my favorite store, but is there a chance on the sewing machine. What model is it, does it have a walking foot, and is it a 1/2 foot? Well It will be easier to bring the car over. Do I need a number or where am I on the list ? Mike

Mikes 1912

When you get done with my wood clamps and sewing machine I will need it for my 22. and heavy on the Mr.

Mikes 1912

If twinkies came in that color green I would be in deep trouble. What's with that thread hanging down? must be a chain thread do not pull.

Mikes 1912

I did not know that duck tape came in green. Is that better than sewing.

Mikes 1912

I called about the wood for the 22 and it runs about $700 and that not all of it. Will pick it up tomorrow. Mike

Mikes 1912

I have called left message no response.

Mikes 1912

It is nice to see the easy chair in the background, it is the most important tool there is. You did not say what is on the menu?

Mikes 1912

It is nice to see the table is set with a nice looking table cloth in the Engine compartment. Are you cooking Sunday dinner on the exhaust manifold?
Next you will have the good silver out.

Mikes 1912

Now I know why the steeps to the motor home are down. Sand once rest for an hour, sand twice rest for an hour, sand three times sleep for the rest
of the day.

Mikes 1912

Well with your help I went and did it. I have to blame some one if it goes wrong. Thanks Mike

Mikes 1912

I know you did not find the word twinkie in the dictionary, you had to make a special trip to the market to find the spelling. How many did you buy?
They were $1.98 here this morning. I still like the use of old mattresses. With the savings you could buy more.

Mikes 1912

When are you going to upholster that blue seat with that pink material? If you do not have enough I can look at the Goodwill store. That is about as cheep as it gets. You can get the padding out of old mattresses they will give them to you to haul them away.

Mikes 1912

You left out when the Werther's Original caramels stick to ones plate while talking is a problem.

Mikes 1912

The pink upholstery gives it that nice contrast. Excellent color choice. I believe this is the first car I have ever seen with a upholstered engine compartment, Keep up the good work.

Mikes 1912

That is a fantastic upholstery job. Mike

Mikes 1912

I should add that epoxy can be a real killer fragrance, have you started your sheet runs today, love to see pictures of them, there best seen in flat panels, and belt lines but they are user friendly. I have to go get my batteries recharged this afternoon again so I do not loose that glow in the dark.

Mikes 1912

I think the perfume might be having an effect. You have to be careful with it. Which do you prefer, Lacquer or enamel?

Mikes 1912

Do you have a set of wood plans for a 1922 model t coupe? Thankyou Mike Husted mikes48ford@q.com 208-520-4892

Mikes 1912

Did I understand you, when you said you use a hair net for a strainer? that being said what do you use rollers for? I hope all the rattle cans are of the
same batch # Mike

Mikes 1912

I would not have thought of the hair brush as I have very little, very appropriate, the only thing missing is the hair dryer, that would count as
oven baked.

Mikes 1912

It is nice to see someone follows Henrys way of applying paint using a paint brush, garden hose and dipping. Points should be taken off if they shine to much, we cannot have that. Mike

Mikes 1912

26 roadster doors had small holes, 27 roadster doors had big holes.

Mikes 1912

It is not any more annoying then E annoy letting some companies list 2,3,4 hundred items at a time, just pass them by or pay them no mind as they say.

Mikes 1912

Would like to find a wood pattern of 22 coupe main rails. Have found some pictures but not good enough to see how they are built. Thanks Mike

Mikes 1912

Just what are you trying to accomplish? Sand blasting what, inside, outside and then what are you going to do? Prest-O Lite gas is nothing more then
acetylene gas, one of the worlds most unstable gases there is, use it correctly fine, use it wrong you could be in a world of hurt.

Mikes 1912

The round access holes in the doors are the small ones which would indicate it was a 1926 door. 1927 had larger ones.

Mikes 1912

It is amazing what can be done with a bow saw and an axe. No power tools and batteries needed.

Mikes 1912

Is there any information on JWB 520 headlights?

Mikes 1912

Where is the location of the focus adj. screw on the early 1918 headlights? Center top or on the left side

Mikes 1912

What model are 1918 side lights and tail light? Thanks

Mikes 1912

Looks like the picture was taken in front of the old station in down town Carson City, Nv

Mikes 1912

The tires behind the dump truck will add a little class to the project.

Mikes 1912

Does it tell you some where how to spell it correctly?

Mikes 1912

Lets try for the second time: so far so good,

Mikes 1912

That was to easy.

Mikes 1912

Lets see what happens:

Mikes 1912

I'm in there now, Do not ask me how. Thankyou

Is there a spell checker with this lay out?
