Meant to tell you that I'm in East Tennessee nowadays... tried to change my address from Alaska to Tennessee but it didn't work so will be shipping from East Tennessee

Tom I have a set of floor boards for a 25 coupe that are in fairly good shape ... you pay shipping and they are yours ... also have a very nice set of moles hair seats for that year and a rolling chassis with a decent motor and transmission if you know of anyone who might be interested....

Could not get pictures to download... and the price has increased because he added a lot more pieces... fenders and interior parts seat cushions and other stuff

Old but in very nice condition... was a California car that Robert bought for the body only

He is not parting it out at this time... complete chassis good drive terrain motor runs as it should

Running and rolling chassis with new tires mounted on it was 3000.00 now...4000.00 asking price sitting in Morristown Tennessee posting for a friend ... Robert 423-327-3788.... price has increased due to Robert adding a lot more parts... this was a complete running and driving 1925 two door and all ...

Hello model T owners Taking my first trip out of Alaska in over 24 years and will be in Newport N.C. Around mid April and looking to possibly meet up with someone in that area that has a model T... will only be there for about 5 days then down to Mobile Al.and New Orleans for awhile... looking to me...

Morgan call Scott Stouff at Alaska traffic 907-854-6596.... my wife has a lot of experience in the shipping industry and highly recommend's him

Thanks to everyone that replied and thanks for pointing out the little things that I overlooked I knew after talking with Mike Fortunato that it was built from several different T parts and who knows how many more oddities I will find going forward.... either way you look at it ya gotta love those T's

Dom here we go my first attempt to post pictures on this forum

March 1919 number.

Thank you Ed

Dom I'll see what I can do to post my pictures as I love showing it... have put it in 4 car shows so far with two second place and one first place trophies ...

Anyone know how to find out what year my T motor is... 2980125 is the number stamped on the block... it does have a 1 in front of the numbers but to me it looks like it was stamped on later as it is barely imprinted into the block and I have heard that sometimes a mechanic would add a number when wo...

I think some may have missed the part about this being a 1919 engine with starter. :) Ha ha! Brain flatulence again!! :lol: or I could blame it on being out in the heat too much! I DID see that and promptly forgot. Nothing new there. :lol: :roll: You mean I'm not the only one that has that brain fl...

One other thing to check. The polarity of the cutout on the generator. A Model A is wired with a positive ground and the cutout looks just like a T cutout. If the cutout is backward you will burn out the generator. The cutout should only allow the current to flow from the generator to the battery, ...

An Optima 6 volt battery can be laid on its side under the back seat. It just needs to be held down and have its terminals isolated from any other 'stuff' you might carry there. Otherwise the suggestions Wayne made are valid, but these involve drilling holes in the frame/splash panels which some wo...

A 1915 did not have a battery, box, or wiring for one originally. So anything would be something someone added. Often, people used the standard 1919 and later factory battery carrier. Sometimes they used era type after-market battery or tool boxes on a running board. Other people would scavenge up ...

Be sure battery cables are the large 6V type. 0 gauge. NOT the skinny 12V cables 6 gauge.

Yes that I had already checked and they are... thank you

Negative ground. Make sure to clean all connections really good. With all connections clean 6 volts will work well. Chris Thank you ChrisB.... I was thinking that it was but the old battery that was in it was not connected but it was sitting with the positive post by the ground wire so that's why I...

I have a good Model T friend in Eagle River - perhaps I can get you guys together ?

Thank you RajoRacer that would be awesome

New member here...just wanted to introduce myself and ask my first question...I recently bought my 1915 model T and I am ready to install the 6 volt battery and was wondering are the model T's positive ground or negative ground... I do have a 1919 engine in it with an electric starter but I just wan...
