To the top!

Last of the pictures. Once the rain clears, I’ll get some better pictures in the daylight. May need one final sanding and additional coat of paint at a later date.

More pictures.

Finished up a three day project today. Finally after eight months of driving my speedster I got my butt in gear and got motivated to build the rear toolbox for my speedster. I may have gone a little overkill on this one but at least it has plenty of room and is solid as a rock. Final dimension ended...

Back to the top again!

Are the timer/ spark rods and steering shaft longer on the TT trucks or can they be swapped out with one from a car?

A guy in town has a 14 touring with an engine Kevin Prus built. Smoothest engine I’ve ever heard run. It’s been on the ocean to ocean tour with a little over 5000 miles on it. A true work horse.

I’ll take the choke rods Walt. Pm sent.

Jake,

My 27 TT has the title matching the engine and frame number original to the truck. I wouldn’t say it’s uncommon but there are definitely cars out there that have replacement engines which the originals somewhere in a scrap heap.

My 2¢
Brad

I found one! Forgive me for not remembering the gentleman’s name from over on the left coast but thank you! Sorry I didn’t think to write it down. I guess I’ll remember when I get the package and see the return label. He wouldn’t let me pay anything but the postage so a donation will be made to the ...

Brad, Those were free give aways from Langs.

I know. I’m just hoping someone may have an extra or may want to let go of theirs.

Brad

I’m looking for one of those full size gasket posters Lang’s sold a few years ago. If anyone has one they’d like to sell, please contact me.

Thanks

I’d be interested to know how you made this setup.

Brad

You could use a pvc board used for tying in door moldings and garage doors. The stuff that has “wood grain” on it. Cut to size and use a heat gun to bend. When warm it moves and has the consistency of a marshmallow. When it cools down and hardens back up its just as strong as wood, waterproof and ho...

This should take care of replacement bearings, races and seals for the front axel. All are readily available. I get mine from Fisher auto run by Federated Auto Parts.

Here’s what I have. Give me a call if you’re interested.

One is for the early TT. It uses part # 1101 in conjunction. I’m not sure if the 1100 or 1087 is the early or late. The later used one size for the spring and perch. At least that’s the way my 27 works. This all came from the TT1 book from May of 1927.

Thanks to a buddy the TT engine is out of the chassis and stripped down! In case anyone was wondering, a model t engine minus the pan and hogshead will fit on a horrible fright 3 tray shop cart. Now time for cleaning.......lots and lots of cleaning.

Just renamed the topic line. This will now be the progress thread for my 1927 TT build. Pulled the engine the other night with some help from a buddy and now it’s stripped down waiting to be cleaned.

I should have one on the shelf. I’ll look tonight when I get home. It’s not in the best of shape but it’s solid.

I sure did! I didn’t want to be looking at plain black/tan/white muslin. Too boring. The plaid material I found is stronger and more weather resistant anyway. Win-Win. I’m documenting the crap out of this build so keep a look out if there’s anything else I can help out with.

Brad

I need to replace the bushings for the rear shackles on my 27 TT. Anyone know where I can find some, what size they are supposed to be or do I need to have them made. I can’t find them in any of the catalogs.

Please and thanks!

Here’s what I did with my top. Same general process.

Wheel looks mighty nice to be tearing apart.Was there 1 bad spoke or? The spokes were garbage after closer inspection. All needed to be taken apart anyway for the respoke. Makes for a lighter box and cheaper shipping. Going a slightly taboo route on these. More to come. The steel fellows will be up...

Yes. I know for sure Jackson made some. My uncles 26 touring has a set on it.

Went to a buddy’s shop to use the big shop press to get the TT wheels apart. Getting the hub bolts out took every bit of my might and my 3 foot breaker bar. Still surprised I didn’t strip a single thread or shear one of the bolts. Those things are TOUGH. Even with an acetylene torch and penetrating ...

Not mine, but definitely a two speed...They are easier to shift as they have dog clutches of a sort..

With it being a 2 speed, is it just under/direct or under/over?

Point of clarity - are you seeking 23" non-demountable steel clincher felloes or 21" steel felloes ?

I need the demountable 21” steel fellows. Sorry Steve I should have made that more clear.

After a short hiatus I got the firewall and a steering column mocked up to see what it was going to do. I like the way everything feels and fits so far. Being 6ft tall people told me I’d be uncomfortable in the truck but at this point I don’t see it. I’ll know more once I can start driving it. The h...

My uncle finally decided to make a top for his 23 roadster from SCRATCH. We finished it last week. You could say that we’re getting pretty good at making and installing Model T tops between this one and my TT. We picked a FB Marketplace score in the form of a 75+ year old industrial sewing machine t...

Dallas,

Thank you! It’s not finished yet by any means but it’s coming together quick. I don’t have any good full pictures at this time but they’ll be here soon.

That’s a “wrap”! Hidem welt came in this afternoon and is now installed. This project could easily be done in a weekend but some of have those pesky things called jobs. I did pretty good only using one solid piece for the trimming. Now to go finish a scratch made roadster top!

Headliner

Got the top layer on this morning. The hiddem welt should be in this afternoon and then it’ll be done. Not too shabby if I do say so myself. I even have a good looking headliner that breaks up the monotony of all the black! More to come this evening.

The edges of this layer were more poofy than the last after trimming but with little more trimming and the top layer it will be fine. Here’s the view from the inside too. It’s just from it laying on top. It turned out much straighter won’t I was able to put some tension on it and a few staples. That...

High density synthetic padding went on next. Stretched tight, it made for a nice and smooth surface.

Last night was most productive of all. Started installing the top material. The base material already had straight lines in it so it was fairly easy to make sure it stayed that way.

The corners were then rounded and better fitted together with the help of a good sized coarse wood rasp.

More pictures

Some small C clamps were the trick when conforming to the compound curves on the sides and front and back strips.

Wood was installed with 3/16 phillips drive flat head machine screws. The recessed on their own and made for a nice flat surface and held quite nicely.

I have seen very little to no complete information/ instructions or pictures for that matter posted about installing the top wood and top for a 25-27 CLosed Cab TT Truck. So here we go. I’ve been working on mine for the last few weeks but made some major head way last night with the top cover. No th...

One original tool I finally broke down and bought was the driven gear puller. Once I got it, it worked so well and was so nice that I bought another just in case something happened to it. Both are ford script and look as though they have never been used.

Got a package in the mail today that more than filled out the rest of my key board!! This happened way quicker than I thought. We’ll need to make another board soon!

Brendan it sold yesterday and I just forgot to update the post. Sorry.
