Keith, I agree completely about the cream colored wheels. Some guys like them, but I don't really. They are quite dirty. When I get the rebuilt wheels back, I plan to paint them black, but if I restore someday and paint it the original dark blue, then I'll repaint the wheels that color. Prest-O-Lite...

Thanks guys! I appreciate your help. I don't know that I'll add pinstriping for now, but perhaps someday. I have no plans to restore it to original, but if I do someday when I retire, it will be the dark midnight blue. I bought the car several years ago and it's an older restoration- body color is g...

Excellent, Dave. Thank you very much! This makes painting the wheels much simpler. I appreciate your help.

I'm rebuilding the wheels on my 1913 touring due to loose spokes and felloes, as well as large cracks, etc. This caused me to wonder about the color of the wheels and the rims. Are the wheels the same as body color? Were the rims cadmium plated or galv, or were they also originally wheel or body col...

Thanks, Dan. I’d like to buy this if still available. I sent you an email.

Hi Dan. Do you know what year or years this was for?
Thanks,
Mike

Thank you, Kerry and Kevin. I'll plan to put it back together and run it. No knocks this summer, so all should be good. I don't know why I hadn't noticed this in the spring when I got the block back, but I wasn't sure whether to be concerned or not when I noticed it this past weekend. Thanks again f...

Good evening! I rebuilt my '13 engine this past spring and had cause to pull it again to fix a couple of things (one of my own mess-ups and one from another guy). The main bearing caps caught my eye as two seem narrower than they should be. Plus, there are a couple of gaps that concern me. Someone e...

Okay, thanks. That’s what I understood but was second guessing myself. I appreciate your help.

Good evening. The subject pretty much sums it up. I've got a 1913 rear axle with very worn parts, including the spider and spider gear bushings (yes, bushings). Would the guts (differential) from an early 1920's rear axle fit into the 1913 housing without any fitment issues?
Thank you!

Thanks for your replies. Sorry for not providing more detail. I didn't want to overload my initial post. The car does not have rocky mountain brakes, and only has the standard transmission drum brake. It ran fine for the rest of the way home, but I was close to home and didn't need to stop on any mo...

Good afternoon. I recently acquired a 1913 touring that is an older restoration and that appears to have been heavily driven with a fair amount of deferred maintenance. I have 1 1/2 other T's, so I'm quite familiar driving and working on them. On a drive yesterday I stopped at a stop light facing up...
