Is this hand crank? I see a battery charger!
How is the top?

The shifter I have is brass and noticeably smaller than a Ruckstell. It is the part that bolts to the rearend housing (that I don't have). I will get my stuff out in the cool of the AM and take some pictures and see just what I have.
Thanks, Steve

I have some Perfecto parts including a shifter. I can bring them to the LBMTC swap meet. Want to sell it all. No housing.

Would be interesting to see a report from Ed on mileage, parts longevity, tire life, failures, etc.

Congrats Andy & Jeannine!!!!!!!!!

Can I be a crew member on your team Eric?

Yes- going to get there a day early to view the museum.

Great! New blood!

I really appreciate your offer to deliver the round gas tank 800 miles; but, I can't expect that kind of service. I'm sure one will show up at the Mother Lode Swap Meet on June 1, 2025

I was really kind of joking since I am a member in good standing of the Mother Lode Model T Club but, leave it to the good members of Forum to want to help a brother out. So, since you ask I need a round gas tank in excellent condition and I want to pay well below fair market value. Thanks, Steve St...

You got me beat!

I hope the have the T parts I'm looking for!

Are you still looking for the roadster sill plates? I have a very nice pair. I believe mine are zinc or???? Not aluminum
Thanks, Steve

What is the best tubing to use to fabricate the rest of the header?

Thanks Kim!

Are you going to come out with your hand held/ swap meet coil tester?

Are you going to come out with your hand held/ swap meet coil tester?

I would like more information on adding "about 5 pounds". Why did you feel it was necessary, etc.? Thanks

Scott who?

I have 2 for sale. 1 medium and 1 large. Both worn about two times- like new condition.

There is a T snowmobile conversion in the Postal Museum

Love the young men working on the chassis. Looks like they just got the engine in. They have the correct universal joint positioner and of course a speed wrench. I hope it brought them tons of fun! Must have been a nippy day. Like the guy with the tie. I bet they remembered this day the rest of thei...

Andy- Thanks for looking and reporting

Are you shipping to CA this season?

Going to be a fun series of posts. Keep em coming!

Keep going! We got money on you!!

Great pictures- thanks! So who won?

Kim- I need the 161 wire wheel wrench- thanks

Who made the body?

What do you charge an hour?

I CAN HARDLEY WAIT!!!!!!!!!!

I'll take it! How much will shipping be to Grass Valley?

I like the new location! It's a lot closer to me.

F.A.S.T. is not just for Model A's. It is open for all pre- 1934 cars and trucks. We all know that it is almost impossible to schedule an event on a weekend when nothing else is going on. In this case we worked closely with the Board of Tourism for Virginia City. This was the only date that we could...

Looks good!

I would have thought RED would add more that 13%~!

Maybe you should get a younger, more knowledgeable helper!

Hi- I have tried e-mailing and pm-ing you and nothing- I am a cash customer! Can you try to contact me. Thanks, Steve

Don't forget to re-torque the head!

Have you opened it?

I can't wait!

Do you think it could be an M in a circle any you are reading it up side down?

Delta Cams in Washington

Terry- I'll come over after church today and get that bad ole Z head out of your way! !;30 ok?

Did you ever get your brake lever? I might be able to fix you up.

How about RELLIM 625? I know it ha ben used befor!

Sorry- got something else going on that weekend

Lots of FLAT HEAD V-8 stuff- SPACE L/M8 See you there, Steve

On the day that ends in Y! What oil are you guys running in your T? How much?

Want me to come over with my long spoons for the mounting party?

BRING BACK PUBLIC HANGING!

MORE BUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good looking lowering kit. Loose about half the spring leaves.

That's much better than "FOUND ON ROAD DEAD"

Use a GPS speedo off a bicycle?

I think I'd be packing up my camera and cranking!

A lot of us who presently live in CA would like to move! Just to old!

Great job guys! Can't wait for the pics!

What sparkplug are you guys running in your high compression heads?

Easy-Off oven cleaner

SPEEDYTINC- What size V W Carb?

I sure don't like where the E-Z Ups and spectators are! Would not happen at a Nor-Cal FAST Hill Climb! I guess they have never seen a broken axle.

A very big congrats to Eric and Robert from Nor-Cal FAST!!!!!!!!!!!

Just one more reason to not polish the brass!

Do not use the appliance paint- it is for indoor use only and due to the sun will fade quickly. Use their automotive paint.

I got some fresh underwear over here you can borrow! Please return it clean!

Dan- Only a small one! Still got many years of service left!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You left the TT chassis behind???????????

Are you going to mount it on your wall or fry it?

What grit sandpaper?

Can you machine the groove in a non-groove case? Worth the effort?

One made it all the way to Northern California!

I have gears in stock!

Looks like a very fun car/truck. ENJOY! Most of the Martin Perry hardware has their name or MP on it. Hard to come by!

It is a lot easier for the guys- the women not so. Long sleeves and floor length dresses. Remember this before you commit the family- got to keep the little women happy, evolved in our hobby and riding next to us. SOMETIMES!

I use Sunbrella fabrics. They last a long time and are breathable. One can go crazy looking at all the swatches. I will try to post a picture of my car. I just put a new top on- the last Sunbrella top lasted 22 years. Another plus is that you can do sew it yourself on a good machine or use a furnitu...

I always carry water for drinking and hand washing!

This motor was in a 1925 TT truck. It was in a hot fire that burned all the wood, melted the aluminum fan hub, coils, warped the frame and depressed the front spring. It came out of a Taft, California oil field. It had a very serious bed on it- the "U" bolts are huge.

1941 Model T motor- maybe! Lets see what the experts think! "41" the only cast date on the motor Not a 15,000,000 serial number No casting date on the head- only a "Y" Hog head is a 26/27 configuration for the wide brake drum; BUT, no ears to attach to the motor- never had any- not a modified castin...

I tried to do some Model A insurance business with J C Taylor and they will do nothing until clearance is given by somebody. She did take my name and tel. number and said they will call.

I think they are taking applications! Going to start moving parts in the next few weeks. Also may have a FAST Hill Climb to do. I think that tank is there!

SALT TRUCK has changed hands; but, it's still in the family and I can visit it. It was built 15 years ago to be used as a trash hauling truck at the Bonneville Salt Flats and I am done with that job! Might just get to be driven in the Trans Sierra 88 Rally by an all girl crew. You should see the pil...

Was the fan belt original to the car or a used swap meet "deal"? Most important, did you get your donut munchen buddy to commit?

Loose spokes?

More info on the oil filter, etc. please

That is a fantastic car! To nice for me to take out, run it hard, slightly abuse it and put it away wet! Maybe give it a once a year hosing off. Restore it? Not really worth doing in this market. Then there's always the "When are you going to paint It?" If you start following this forum a person can...

Bracket is for body mount- may or may not need it for your speedster. Beware of dips in the concrete- may look nice and level but can have dips in it.

NICE! Can I come over and use it?

I wipe mine down with alcohol- lasts for a few weeks and not slippery

A lot of the GO JOBS used early Chevy boxes

Great "fix"!

SAY IT ISN'T SO!

Thanks for keeping us posted! I won't load the truck for another few weeks.

Hi Dennis- spoke with you at great lengths at Bonneville a couple of years ago

I have a later- thick frame. It measures .187 thick . The front cross member is about .156 allowing for very little paint and rust. This is a '26/27 frame. I had a '25 frame that was the .187 thickness but, the cross members were the thinner- maybe the .125. These are both stock, unmolested frames.

DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THE SIGNS!!!!!!!!

Hi Larry- Have a great day!

Howard was always fun to be with! I remember lots of lours and speedster runs and him throwing out bags of M&M's for the right answers at LBMTC meetings.
R.I.P. Humble
Condolences to your family!

There are competitors like this! We run them all the time at our FAST hill climbs! Maybe not so extreme; but, just as much fun.

What model Garmin is that?
Happy with it?- buy it again?
Thanks
