Check good old Ebay, just type in Model T for sale
in the search box.
Another good source is hemmings.com
Just scroll thru the Make box and then the model. They usually have around 100 Ts listed from all years. You can even sort out the year you want.

Re: Cartouche or Classtique upholstery
Paul, one thing Classtique has going for it is great CUSTOMER SERVICE. I've not had experience with the "other", but I've read where it's just "buying product" and that's about it. Plus, as I recall, Mike has a lot, if not all, the specs for exact fit of material. Maybe even the "textures" also. And...

Re: Fun in the snow
Well we don't have quite as much on the ground. But they still keep promising 10-12" overnight.
So I scraped the inch we got today, and pushed back the piles to make room for the new. Mayne tomorrow I'll post an "after" pic.

I'm certainly no expert, but I say leave it be. Not hurting anything, more cosmetic than anything.
Bending it just MIGHT cause it to crack. My luck, it would for sure!!

Those don't look all that bad. I bet someone coated them with something. Did you try any kind of removal? Like lacquer thinner? Even good ol paint stripper? Rubbing compound? I think a good deal of elbow grease and sweat can bring those back. Plus, not to be so picky, but turn your burner "sideways"...

Steve, looks like its got all "the stuff" it needs to be functional, especially if you say it regulates the water dripping good. That's all it needs to do is drip on the carbide so long as there's a hose attached to it, and it looks like I see the fitting there for it. Unless I'm missing something....

What looks to be a '13 to me also looks to be almost too far gone. If they PAID ME to take it, maybe. It'd take $25K to revive it. And then most of it would be nothing more than a "re-pop kit car" anyway. So sad.
