Thats good news and a good start.

All the Best Bill....

I've been using Rocky Mountain Machine Kevlar bands. I've had them in 3 cars for 20yrs and they've ony been adjusted a handful of times.
My 2 cents.
I can't tell you if their all the same or not.

Looks like a great project. How about a few more pictures of the body.

Here's my Faux Nine. Ray Wells body, seems to be a 21' Chassis with Ruckstell. Armstrong starter. pre 15 pedals. Its a crowd pleaser. It was someones 35yr. project that never got finished. Its now had its first shake down and just needs a little more dialing in before its first tour. I always though...

Looking for early brass windshield frame. Not picky on which style it is as its going on a Bitsa car with no top. repo is fine.

Thanks,

That was quick, I had't finish buying my lottery tickets yet.....

Try ringing one of the cracked cranks sometime they deffinetly sound different. I hang and ring and if it rings then I mag it. If it doesn't ring
correctly I toss it saves mag time.......

If your going to run the 6408 like its a Horseless Carriage plate you need to put HC in front of the number: HC6408 or it won't come up. I've been thru this with CA DMV on several occasions. They don't even know it needs to be done. On the plus side when you go over a automated toll bridge it doesn'...

Looks like a Sure Mike. (spelling ?)

Dodge

Thanks rickd. I read everything there was on there, there were several pictures but not much actual information or anyone actually running one. I'll just have to try it then we'll all know.

I wonder if its "ECO" friendly.......

Is this a varation of a U&J Carburetor or is it something else?
What say you......

Dodge

Is this a variation on a U&J carburetor or is it something else????

Growing up, my Dad always made us stand on the other side of the car for pictures. He hated pictures with people blocking the car.......

I use "Assemlee Goo" its used for putting automatic transmissions together. Just a little dab with a screw driver on the valve stems and the keepers stay put. You can push them around with your fingers and they still stay put. It makes the job go twice as fast as you arent't chasing the keepres that...

I have used a ceramic sealer twice lately with a cracked block with success. I used Evapo Rust remover first to clean the block.
The two cracks I sealed up were both larger than the crack you have.

It might be worth a try.

I use Cerakote. It takes the heat and its thin. Holds up real well.

Dodge

I will work fine. The perfecto is the precursor to the Ruckstell.

Dodge

Amen to that Andy. It was a lot of fun even though our day didn't go quite as smooth. We had a few issues and came in late/last but finished and picked up the Hard Luck Trophy and Certificate of Completion. For the icing on the cake, after loading the car on the trailer and starting to tie it down I...

I just bought the Dollar Store ones again. They are now on a plastic stick instead of wood. I will be participating in the Santa Clara Speedster endurance run this weekend. Lets see if they make it all the way thru the 200 miles.....

Dodge

If its mostly varnish/shellac, the solvent for it is denatured alcohol. I have poured in a gallon and kept turning the tank over and over for about 10days. It also helps to shake it in between turning it. After it loosened everything up I used a pressure washer inside it to get it clean. Unfortunatl...

Dodge

It seems you bought that car about the same time Cyrus was born....It was meant to be.

Dodge

The last ones I got were from the Dollar Store. They lasted a long time. I'm going back to check on them again and see if they will still hold up as well. I'll report back.

Dodge

It is a 1906 to early 1909. I don't know how the serial numbers went for the NRS cars and knowing how Henry did things they could of used
the last they had of the NRS car plates on the early 1909 T's

Take the cap off and try and move the rotor by hand see if it springs back or if it is solid. If it springs back it has weights and advances.

Can't wait....

3/8 minimum.

I have two speedsters with tillitson X carbs they work great. One on a Model A Manifold and the other on a modified Model T manifold.
I can send pictures if you want. Good inexpensive fun.

Another thing to consider is adding very large numbers or some sort of graphic to the roof of the trailer. If your trailer is stolen it is much eaiser to spot from the air or from a higher elevation. Criminals usually swap the license plates but never look on the roof. The CHP around here says it re...

Dodge

I don't know how to do it, but some one should start a go-fund me on this one.

Dodge

I have two with batteries underneath the back seat and another with the battery in a period accesary running board box on the running board. and a third one I put a later battery carrier in. The location and size would be dermined on what you are using the battery for. If its for starting the car yo...

For heavily tarnished brass, stuff that hasn't been polished in years, I use Lysol toilet bowl cleaner. Then Never-Dull

Thanks Tom,

I don't know if any one still does it, but we used to use Homelite Bearcat outboard motor cranks in Crosley motors. The Bearcat crank had no flange it was tapered for the outboard flywheel. We would make up a flange and mate it to the crank using a friction welding process. It should work on a Model...

Dodge

Yep, I've had a few out on the table at a swap meets and you always get at least one guy that has to spin it and hold onto the working end....

Dodge

Maybe those bolts were holding down a battery that is not in the box now. Maybe their charging the battery.......

Maybe they used a Tommy Gun to put the holes in the doughnuts.

Hi, I didn’t know who ended up with Larry Sidmore’s AC brake business. I ended up with Richard Baughman’s drawings and fixtures just before Larry Sidmore passed. I used them to finish putting the AC brakes on a couple of my cars. I’ll get hold of Daniel Bennett and see if he wants to carry on with t...

I think the picture with the Center Door going thru a tree is possibly the stump tree in Washington.
There are at least 3 drive thru trees left in California. I was in a car that drove thru the Wanona tree in 1966 with a Horseless Carriage Club Tour. (It was also a Center Door Sedan)
