John Biggs posted the following on the early Ford site. I know many knew Geoff and his family with his Model T, Model N and Model A. So I reposted Here for those not seeing the Early Ford Site.

Kim is right Martin also made Model N, R, & S floor mats in the same color choices. My N has one of his black mats.

Brass step plates, Ford script on radiator core( especially cast) natural wood wheels, in the eyes of a purist is just plain wrong. To each his own, restoration is not understood by most people.(Restoration and customizeing are two different things) 1909 - 10 did have stamped radiator scripts on core.

I have been collecting parts for these for several years. I wanted to put one on my 15, but found out I would have to drop the pan for it to fit in the narrow nose pan. Undoing all the pan bolts and removing the old lower pulley and replacing it with the starter was a bit more than I wanted to do. W...

Are you looking for a trailer to pull behind your K with the Model N on it?

Richard: A while back a lot of the lamps out there were coated with a baked on clear plastic that regular stripper wouldn't touch. I found that CRC gasket remover from the auto parts store worked. I have no connection with CRC products it was the only thing that I found to strip the plastic, or lacq...

Might try this - The Vintage Wheel Shop in Sonora, CA George Carrigan, 209-533-0468.

I don't know why anyone would go through the hassle of building their own - John Ragens are reasonable and very professional looking not homemade looking.
I run one and obviously think it is great.

This is not prompted by Mr. Ragen, just a happy customer here.

I remember at the first Harrah swap meet at Wooster High School,I met Ron Brown and he was working on his low aluminum head and had a lot of problems with it. He later told me that the head turned out good but that someone got the patterns from him and he couldn't get any more heads. A close friend ...

You might want to talk to local "experts"in your area before you travel. Tell them what you are interested in and have them go over the differences in the cars of your interest, most brass T guys that have been in the hobby for over 25 years have Bruces book, and other resources and can point out wh...

I don't know how much your time is worth, or your electrical talents, or caring about how the finished product looks. but my own experience is John Ragens can't be beat

Back in the late 60s A concours was started at Peacock Gap in Marin County. At this time concours were a fairly new idea around here and the rules were quite different than now. Ray's car was one of the three cars that were entered in the Model T Ford class, Rays 09, a black cut off touring, and ano...

I have had success using CRC gasket remover from a local auto parts store. It is great for stripping old finishes. I used it to strip the old clear coat on my brass lamps that paint remover wouldn't touch. It is in a spray can and easy to use. CRC is the brand I used, but I'm sure there are other br...

Back in the 70's when I worked for Ed Towe in Montana Lew Rector told me he once had a six cylinder model T and wished he still had it for the Towe collection. Lew was from the Bay Area.

Pete: I don't think it could be the one from the Bothwell collection, Ben Sharpsteen told me that the fire was so hot it melted the aluminum of the model K.

I think what you need is in Bruces encyclopedia on pages 57 -60 very good pictures of a very original 09 roadster. Maybe some one could up load the pictures if you don't have the book.

The red "Model T Ford Handbook" by Leslie Henry shows how to make a pattern and top. I believe the book is still available from dealers.

As to how many different types - here are a couple of pictures of part of a private collection. front & back. these don't include the timers with attached cables. These are all different.

As I remember it Eds long touring was made by Bill Maguire, ( not sure on his last name spelling) I remember seeing the frame in his shop. I believe the car is in the Lodi Stockton area now.

Years ago when Ed Towe was putting together his Ford collection he purchased a 1909 from a guy that had been in the process of restoring it. The car looked good and Ed thought it was finished . Well one day Ed went to drive the car around a parking lot and he lost all steering. The previous owner co...

Wayne, The Towe B is owned by a well known member of the Early Ford Registry here in California. I own a model N ford that Wil had and restored. He sold it to Broadway Motors in Oakland years before I got it.

Back in the early 70's I worked for Ed Towe in Montana, we had a heck of a time getting his Model B running. Most of his engine was done by Wil Faulstick, which may have been the problem. The car did run.? I hope you have better luck.
