Fixed a leaking radiator.
Replaced the hand crank bushing. I made a puller to get it out.
Replaced a leaking gasoline sediment bowl and replaced all the gas line.

Next up - remove rear axle and rebuild it.

A NOS radiator in the crate is a NOS radiator still in its crate A NOS radiator torn out of the crate, with the wood thrown away and the radiator put on a car is a travesty. Maybe it is NOS, maybe not...but radiators are not rare and they can be purchased new or used. New old stock radiators in the...

This is for sale at an auction in my neighborhood. I do need a new radiator but not sure if buying a brand new old one is a good idea. I imagine the modern remakes are better functionally. I checked it out and its a tall one measuring 18.5 to 19inch or so. was hard to measure in the crate. I do beli...

I flushed the block and crap came out of it too. Now they are both sitting with 5% Vinegar soaking for a few days. I'll rinse them soon.

Is there a list somewhere for all the upcoming Model T swaps in the USA?

Its good to know there are some local guys in my area that might be available to talk to or even test out my T. I will check that out. I have worked on cars and my own stuff for 30 years but ...

Rear end diff. has some thick nasty oil in it like a sloppy grease almost. I have not checked anythin...

Hi Everyone. I have been wanting a Model T for a long time and finally got one. I picked up a 1917 Touring that has been converted to a pickup with the Ford metal pickup bed. It's a project and not restored (what I wanted so I can learn about it). It also needs upholstery work and its missing the wo...
