Photo #9 appears to be a "1919" pillarless coupe. Can one assume it has electric start since there are no cowl lamps? This is the second such "1919" coupe I have observed in Tom's posts. Thanks Tom. I enjoy your photos!!!

I believe the hard board you are referring to is "MASONITE". Hope this helps.

Hi Drew, I write this information for what it may be worth in hopes it may help you resolve your issue. By the way, I live in Mechanicsburg, PA. I had exact issue of backfiring, sputtering, etc. on throttle acceleration with my Model T speedster. My car runs the earlier Type 31 Rajo crossflow head. ...

My father always referred to model T brakes as "Push and Pray"!

Diesel fuel is available along the I81 corridor in Carlisle / Harrisburg PA area, which is warehouse / distribution central heaven. However prices range from $3.19 to $3.49 per gallon.

One thing I noticed that will cause the problem you are having is the use of rubber stems. I believe you can eliminate your cut stems by changing to metal stem tubes with bridge washers, locking nuts, dust covers. I run Firestone (black) tires with metal stem tubes on 30x3-1/2 Buffalo wheels using 6...

Herm.....I want to personally thank you for taking the time to document and share your techniques for transmission rebuilding. It is greatly appreciated.......John Jackson

Good 'ole Virginia, the communist state as the truckers refer to it. I too used to live in Virginia until I went off to college in 1968. I guess the cop would prefer you replace the Plexiglas with original plate glass like it originally had back in the day? Do you have a windshield wiper? I know whe...
