I’ve learned my lesson after needing to move it out of the shop a couple of years ago
It can sit..

Mark,

Ill bite

Scott

Now I have to convince my wife that coming to Maine in the winter is a good idea…

Wonderful to see them preserved and available to be admired

Feel free to post pics for those of us too far away to visit easily

Scott

I saw this on the forum several years ago and used cotton rope/ twine for this wheel.
I applied spar varnish, as I had a can handy.
As you can see, it turned the cord a light shade of yellow.

Scott

Dan,
I too would like a set.

Scott

I believe that Karl Von Neumann has at least the front ones listed recently here on the forum

This is another find in the same yard. I hope someone can help identify this one as well. It has a secondary gauge mount to the left of the steering column, a second transmission behind the Ford engine/ transmission, and behind the doors and window the body panels have a 90 degree bend that meets up...

Mike,
Thank you
It does look very close

I look forward to it

Scott

Yeah, challenging….
For $250.00 I couldn’t let it continue to rot

Not to continue hijacking a different thread, I have found more photos of T parts in a salvage yard.
Also, Can anyone identify, or maybe help to identify this speedster body.

Thanks
Scott

I fought this issue a couple of years ago. After checking / rechecking everything, a fellow club member suggested changing the coils. Since they were recently rebuilt by a well know coil supplier, I though that cannot be the problem. Well, as you can guess that was the problem. A capacitor failed. T...

I have a set in St. Louis
Scott

I love the wood steering wheels, especially when they have wooded spokes. I have 3 Guardian wheels with wooden spiders
Beautiful when they are restored.

Do you know the manufacturer?

Scott

Last ones that I have

Additional pics

A few more

Last I was there, I saw 3 sets of beehive Hassler shocks

If anyone is interested in it, I will be in the area where it is, soon

Scott

It has probably been there for decades

Frank,
What is special about it?

I stumbled on this pile of parts a coulple of years ago while traveling.
I always keep an eye out for old salvage yards

Scott

Bob, Be careful if you get a text informing you that they have what you want and want payment via PayPal. Confirm with them with a phone call. The scammers are reading our forum and promise what you need, and well, you know the rest… Lots of great people here, and it is a shame that the scum take ad...

Darel,
My heartfelt condolences for you and your family.
I am truly sorry to hear of your loss.

Yeah,
I had the same problem with that same guy…..

Happy new year Dick,
Hope to see you soon
Come to the Tour De Frost

Who else starts the new year with a drive? Fellow club member, Sam Atkinson and I were talking when I first got my roadster. He told me that he always takes a New Year’s Day drive. Who am I to argue? So today it was a balmy 32 degrees here in the St. Louis area and I headed off to start the new year...

Well, He even has my address, Since I sent it to him via text for the shipping…. It worked out ok though since I had Ed’s PayPal account due to a prior transaction. I don’t care if he has my number, city, state and address He isn’t going to do anything over a missed transaction. He would only open h...

The “ real Ed” has been in contact and the payment went to him due to his contact info already being in my account at PayPal Being awakened in the middle of the night seemed weird and if I wasn’t half asleep, I might have sent the payment since Ed is a known respected forum member. The absolute urge...

I put my contact number in the reply on the forum
With the last digit spelled out.
That is how they contacted me

I want to clarify something Ed Fuller is not the person that is behind this. THE SCAMMER, responded to me via text message because I included my phone number in response to his listing. If you have read this, Please do not infer that I somehow believe that our trusted member has anything to do with ...

This in no way is about Ed Fuller, I put this on the thread for information. I put a different post up about the recent scam i encountered due to me responding to this ad. I would be cautious about receiving a text from someone claiming to be a forum member but from an unknown account or a number th...

I’ll take that please,

I’m not sure of the year, it was in a group of parts that came from a 26 coupe

Thanks Mark,
They arrived today

The first picture is fascinating to me. The faith that they had in their cars is amazing.
I can almost hear the driver say “Hold my beer, it will make it, no problem!”

Can you imaging facing that situation today?

Mark,
I’ll take set # 2 please

It is wonderful to see you behind the wheel again

I missed adding these two somehow

Steve Lang sent these to me recently
Maybe they are what you need

Scott

My order arrived yesterday.
As one who has used a screwdriver to remove the float valve body, this is far superior.
Like Scott said, you will wish you had one.
Thank you for a quality, well thought tool.

Scott

I think as important as these cars are to us, we have a limited number of people that are interested in purchasing what we have to offer. How many of the active members and guests here visit each day, or even multiple times per day? Getting our item(s) if front of the right person at the right time ...

Cool video Herb, There is a Model T connection here that you might not know. The Railroad that was built to service the mine modified a T for inspection work. Around 2008 I was approached about helping to recreate it by the CMO of the Cumbres and Toltec railroad. He moved on and the project died tho...

Mark,
I’ll take them

Sounds as though the car is staying where it belongs Darel.
I hope you have many more enjoyable trips with it.

Rob,
I think I have what you are looking for.
I’m out of town til late Sunday but can check for you when I get home.
I’m in the St. Louis area

Any “over the river” places to go with “thru the woods”?

Similar mounting to the one I have. I have a complete original on the drivers side and when poking around for info on it, I stumbled on a convex (objects appear closer than they are) mirror head that matched. So I fabricated a mount that resembles the original. Mirrorscope out of New York was the or...

While cleaning out my father’s estate, I realized the sheer number of photos that he had, a lifetimes worth. Some had notations on the back, most didn’t though. I found it troubling to toss some of them, but I had no idea who the people were in them. I sure he did though. Photos are good for 2-3 gen...

I have had a 6V on mine for about 2 years. It has been trouble free. I had a rebuilt generator on it and then the cut-out failed. This was the quickest fix for me. Chaffins had it in stock and shipped to me in just a few days.

Mark,
I would like to buy the spindles

Scott

I have one that I decided not to use
If interested, call or text me

Not a great pic, but I found this in a salvage yard 5 yrs ago

Well, now I want that wrecker!

I wish we still had the desire to build these unique vehicles

Send more money to cover my mistake…. Scammers have no shame. It is a common tactic I have found that they somehow mixed up the check (sent too much and want the difference refunded) or as in John’s case, sent it to the wrong address and want funds to cover their mistake. I had one threaten me with ...

Unfortunately, I think we can state the year we joined the board.

I feel your pain.

I propose that sellers consider allowing to be paid for goods and services by adding in the additional fee.
That would give buyers a layer of protection against the scammers.

Scott

If you read the posters info, it sometimes provides a location.
Keith is locates a bit west of St. Louis, MO.
Manchester, Mo to be exact.

It’s been a long time since we decorated, so I decided to have a bit of fun this year
The kids enjoyed it and the parents couldn’t believe that it runs and drives.

The information about Mr Armstrong was available, I should have be a bit more diligent in looking at his account. I will, going forward be inclined to pay via PayPal using goods and services and adding the fee to the total, that way I a better chance and recovering my funds when someone is up to no ...

#15 reminded me of something I saw a couple of years ago at OCF. I dug up the pic, not the same, but similar, and it is on a 4WD vehicle.

Double post

I was traveling with a 7 hour time difference and responded to a private message. The price was fair for what I was looking for and i pulled the trigger without much thought, other than “ whew, I finally found what i was looking for”. Ive been active here for about 4 years and have met many fine peo...

Yeah, i should have been more diligent about checking into him. Got me for $125 but I did friends and family, so I’m out of luck

So, I wish I had seen this.
The scammer Richard Armstrong strikes again.
He got me for a bit over $100.

Can the powers that be ban this stain on our board please

Four of us in the St. Louis chapter pooled our funds to buy a pan jig and a rear axle stand (thank you to Lang’s). It was time that they started earning their keep and since all of us have parts and projects stashed in our to-do lists, we have started club days to work on such projects. The first wa...

When I was searching, I found stainless hardware from lowbrowcustoms.com
They are a motorcycle shop. Since my car is a driver, I’m not worried about originality.

Andy,
A couple of wives were there, mine had plans but met us at the restaurant

Thanks for a great tour Scott. (That's you in the far right)

John,
I like your photo better than the one I posted

The St. Louis club had its fall tour Saturday. We had a 70+ mile loop on some local 2-lane black top roads, no seven gallon hills this time. ( I learned my lesson about that a couple of years ago). Started off fairly foggy and cool but as the mist burned off it became a glorious day. Stopped at a lo...

Andy, If you are ever East, we can make a tour happen anytime. Anything more than one car is a parade, if we go somewhere it is a tour! BTW, it only 3 days of hard driving towing a trailer to get here, I took my car to San Diego last year. It was great fun, but too much windshield time to get there.

John, I have one that is available. I added the tan canvas as a quick way to add some shade when I had my granddaughter out on a summer trip. It is just tacked on. I have a 25 roadster that i had it on for a few months until I found the correct one for my car. A friend found this at Hershey for me t...

An open invitation for anyone to join us this Saturday for the St. Louis’s club fall tour. Give or take 70 miles thru St. Charles, Warrenton, and Lincoln counties. If anyone has any interest let me know so I can add you to the lunch reservation at Fiesta on the Hill Mexican restaurant in Flint Hill,...

So, It does come out of its home occasionally!
Bring it out this weekend for the St Louis fall tour 70 miles give or take

Scott

I sent a message
We are back home and would like to arrange payment

I cannot imagine how hard it must have been to pass the guardianship of this car into someone else’s care. I have cars I have owned for 1/2 that time I do not look forward to the point in my life that I have to trust someone else to become the caretaker of them. Stewardship is an idea that carries a...

Henry,
Your knowledge, and willingness to share is what makes this forum great.
I do not possess your skill level, but I’m not afraid of trying to fabricate parts that I can, when needed.
I will file away the info on tank building for future use

Scott

Thank you,
If you accept PayPal, I can complete the purchase now

Scott

Did you get my email?

Scott

Jeff,
Ill take it.

If PayPal is an option, I can pay now.
If you prefer a check, I am on vacation and cannot send one til after 10/5

I assumed it was a specialty tool.
I should have done some research

Jerry,
Can I ask where you found that reamer?

Scott

I replied to the other ad. Is this the same horn?
If so, I would like to purchase it. If this is a second one, I’ll buy it as well for my daughter’s car.

Scott

I’d like to purchase the horn, if available

I’m out of town and won’t be back until 10/5.
Can do PayPal if that works

Scott

I finally got the chance to install the wood bed kit my wife got me for Christmas , added disk wheel covers (thanks to Herb Iffrig),mad the support arm for my passenger side mirror, and went on the Hillbilly tour.

How much beer money would be fair?
