Look at the posting date Sir. Ya ever hear about APRIL FOOLS! ? Hank was playing April Foolks with everyone, but some folks just don't get it! 15K wouldn't even pay for the paint job and it was a DEAL when he originally posted it for 75K! Now he's not kidding about the long term storage, so unless t...

I have a real nice looking set of matching 1913-1914 E&J brass cowl lamps for sale, both the left and right side. These are excellent for an original driver and have just a bit of patina, are fully functional and ready to install. They aren't perfect, but with a bit of effort you could make them rea...

Good information, thanks Mark! I'm really glad some items are starting to surface and be available again! A guy can order a kit today from Jim (937)692-6100.

Matt, Thanks for your response. I did some on line detective work from your photos and found the kits in Ohio! You are right, the old supplier is no longer around, but by chance I found the old car guy who took over and can help us brass car guys out! I spoke directly with the owner, Jim Watt. Jim i...

Everyone,
I missed out on this kit and need one real bad for my 1914 open express truck. Please, if anyone else has one available or if you can tell me where I can order a new kit, let me know. Thanks in advance for your reply back!

A bit of humor, two old Southern expressions come to mind...

You're very welcome Sir for the extra free ignition switch I gave you, I hope you enjoy it and have a great day!

Hello Sir, Unfortunately, the truth is I must say I sold it to "that guy". I even threw an extra ignition switch in the box for free as a courtesy, then paid extra money on my dime so the buyer received it faster. That's (2) good original functioning ignition switches, along with a nice original fun...

Other than maybe the model number and I think mine have a 1908 patent date, the rest of the lamp body, door, hinges and bottom fonts on my side lamps are identical. My two side lamps do not have the brass fonts with the two tightening levers that I have seen on quite a few 1914's. I just figured Hen...

Mike, Hopefully 1914 fits the bill. My 1914 already has the E&J side lamps that match your tail light, but I wasn't sure if my existing two lamps were correct for a 1914?? That said and if someone more knowledgeable than me can confirm your tail light is correct for 1914..., I will take it Brother! ...

Hi Mike or anyone else,
Please educate me. What year/years would this style tail light be proper for? Thanks a bunch for your reply!

We call our 1914 brass open express truck "Huckleberry"...or just "Huck" the truck. We named it after one of our five little rescue dogs, Huckleberry.

I'm right up the road in Gainesboro, TN

I agree with Hank. Call Chris, the owner at Advanced Custom Chrome in Erie, PA. They do awesome nickel, chrome and copper plating. Chris has clients literally all around the globe, but he isn't cheap.

I was concerned about the overall height issue too, but I laid a straight edge across the top of the seat frame to check the clearance and the filler cap ended up clearing my seat bottom by 1/2". FYI, you can easily (5 minute job) take a cut-off wheel and cut a 1.5" wide slice out of the filler neck...

Guys, I recently went through the same dilemma regarding a replacement tank option for my 1914. The tank that was in it was all rusty inside when I got it last month.

Guys, I don't want to cause a debate and almost erased this three times and kept it to myself, but I had Hagerty too. I had full coverage on my TT and not a single at-fault auto claim in several decades when Hank and I went on our little runaway thrill ride together. After I reported the incident, m...

Try Langs,
I have a copy of their 2017 catalog and back then they listed the 30" x 3.5" demountable clinchers for $400.00 each plus shipping. If you are going to Luray, I believe Lands will be on site. Good hunting!

If I lived that close and he in fact did live at that address, I think I would have to stop by and help him "understand" that he needed to pay his $750.00 debt to Hank. Just sayin
