Do they fit a 30X3 tire? Do they fit a Model T hub and have a brand name on them? I have not seen non-demountable steel spoked wheels before.

Re: What year is my T?
To add to the windshield discussion, the windshield to cowl brackets appear to be the earlier riveted type used starting 1915, as opposed to the later brackets that held the windshield frame with bolts on the side.

Re: Can anyone ID this car?
I would agree with Wayne that the electric tail light was likely added later, as the car appears to have a coil box ignition switch, rather than a dashboard ignition switch.

Looks like Dodge to me. Mid 1920s.

Re: Ruckstell Pinion clearance
I have had the same problem Dan mentioned. If you are using a modern spool it is likely you may have to clearance the torque tube or grind the corner off the Allen screw on the shaft collar. Same symptoms you mentioned. Turned ok when not bolted to the axle, but would not turn after the pinion spool...

Re: Farm scene with a TT
Great photo, but I am not sure it is a TT. The fenders, hood louvers and wheels don’t look quite right. Maybe Chevrolet?

I think Brian nailed it. Here are some pictures of a 1910 Chalmers I found on the internet.

Front wheel drive Model T
I was looking at some photos of a supercharged, overhead valve, front wheel drive Model T speedster and wondered if anyone has tried to recreate this car or any front wheel drive Model T? I’m aware of the 4 wheel drive conversions. This speedster appears to be hand built with a backward engine to al...

That would be a wild ride for the driver of that T when the bridge collapsed.

Re: Built From Scratch Model T's
I think my speedster would qualify as “built from scratch.” My dad and I started building it when I was in 7th grade and finished it my Senior year of high school.

Re: Anyone Make White Tires at home?
Thanks for the update. This seems like it might also be a good solution for those with white tires that have turned brown.

Re: Ford script on radiator shell?
Hi John, I did prep and paint the car about 20 years ago now. I had two shells to choose from when I was putting the car together. The other shell was factory with the script, but the one without the script was in much better condition so that’s what I when with. There is no stamping on the back sid...
