From start to finish, Genix Flooring provided excellent service. I love how my kitchen and entryway look with their stone flooring options. Not sure what the flooring thing has to do with anything. I saw your car at the last 2 lincoln rallies. Very cool and very fast up the hill! Well done sir! Mike

Hello Darel, Mike Peternell here. I'll send you a PM. My wife and I came down to see your store a few years ago. Andy Loso and I were good friends. Talk soon!

Michael Peternell

Try Tim Morsher, I sent him a few, he went through them and with his transmissions we both ended up with one. The ones that have patent pending on the case have bearings that seem to be made out of unatainium. Bearings on the later ones are easier to get. Tim can probably explain better. For what it...

LoL! I wondered where that would end up!

A 1910 correct hubcap! Oh the blasmany!

Michael Peternell

If you put it on a pallet Fastenal will ship it cheaper than anyone else I have been able to come up with. Totally agree. I've shipped engines to and from California and Utah and Oklahoma. Hands down what Russ said. You're not going to get a exact delivery date. They put it on the truck when they h...

I have a re-cap kit sitting in the mailbox today and it may be that I am soldering new caps in later in the week...I just wish I could figure out which one to avoid a lot of work replacing them all. It's best to replace them all. When caps go bad, they usually short out. When they short, there's al...

Just sent a small wood crate to Tulsa OK from Albany MN. 18" long, 10" wide, and 8" deep, weighing 38lbs. USPS quote was $70.00, Fastenal Blue Lane was under $50.00. I've had great luck with these folks! I do know that things have changed for Fastenal since covid. Tough to get stuff east from the we...

Latest project finished, started with repro brass ship's clock housings and transplanted the guts out of a 60 MPH GPS speedo, made matching faces on the computer and voila - expensive(?) looking gauges. Good enough for me. Very well done! Don't know what they cost, but could be a great side hustle.

Michael Peternell

Why would you want to trap heat inside either of them? same as painting the inside of an engine without an external oil cooler, something like 18% of oil temperature is transferred through the metal of an engine. I have been an insulation contractor for the last 20 plus years. The heat will transfe...

You better read it closely, 30% buyers fee, Whoooo, That is the biggest fee I have seen on automobiles.

I just said to myself the exact same thing while reading! If that's the case , it's like a $3000 car for the head and wheels?

Any T guys going? Looks to be a very good show

After reading spoke related threads for years, it would seem that the new spokes never shrink,never rot,never dry out,never swell,1 time repair for forever, they just remain perfect thru out time.This can not be as wood changes with humidity.

Wow! 2nd best. You run with a tough bunch. Beautiful cars!

Michael Peternell

The plot thickens! Looks like he was trying the same thing last year on the red T. Keep your eye out! If you're lucky he will be coming to a show near you. Great trip Rudy and Roddy!,

Michael Peternell

If you check picture 7, please note the two gentleman trying to hotwire the green car behind. I new it was a setup when one met me at my house and I had to pick the other one up in ND. Turns out was all a plan to get them in and out of Montana undetected!

My wife and I went and found their place last summer. Got to meet him and his wife. Had great fun visiting while the wife was shopping and visiting. We're going to do it again this year!

If I sell a car on here there is no way for me to give you a title. My state does not issue a title for anything before 1975. I have never have had a problem for people getting a title in they state on cars I have sold. What’s the big deal? Dan I've bought 2 speedster without titles. One from Calif...

If my calculations are right, that's 6500 T`s running with no buzz coil issues! Other issues maybe, but not bad coils.
Congratulations sir!!

Steve, When I put Hasslers on I noticed no improvement in the ride. Cast iron front wheels and steel cleats on the rear, may have overrode any benefit. :D Good to see you back, Kevin in "Ewetah" Now that is a peach!!! Front belt drive!

Neat accessory, doubtful you will come across another. Easy to mount under the floor board or on outside of the dash. Works great.

I own the one Jay posted so that makes two!

Michael Peternell

Are they really that rare?

Michael Peternell

Looking for one in rebuilt or rebuildabal condition. Looks like this one.

Michael Peternell

If it doesn't work out, let me know. I'll take it!

Michael Peternell

I do know that the facade around the main entrance was saved. I got a bid invite for the project and that was made very clear.

Michael Peternell

Concertina case? Shot in the dark. Pretty fancy interior for a "trunk".

Nothing wrong there.

Really, you have a chance to talk to someone that has been dead for 75 years and all you can think of is Model T questions? I would ask if it is hot where you are and have you seen any of my friends and family?

Now that is funny!

That little cutey would be in my barn already. Just 900 miles too far. Shouldn't last long for that price!

I am confused.
He died over eighteen years ago? This is at least the second (I think third?) thread I have seen in about a week about it? Why does this keep coming up? What am I missing?

Seems a bit odd to me also. Spammer/scammer/robot ?

I always wonder: who these people are, and what is their story, and what became of them. It is great that photographs are able to capture and preserve a moment in time. I think it
gives the subjects a degree of immortality.

Thank you for sharing these images.

So agree!!!

It's been a dark secret for decades now that NASA actually used cow magnets to power the Gemini and Apollo "rockets". All the smoke and flame and noise was just for show for the TV cameras and to throw the Russians off the trail. The cow magnet drive (CMD-1) has been retired, and they now use an an...

My thoughts. I would leave it as is, with this on a trailer as an exhibit and Steve in a lawn chair talking about it. Would be an awesome display at any show or gathering!

That is a very good deal considering condition. Hasn't been smacked/wrenched on with pliers!

Michael Peternell

Congrats to the new owner. In my opinion you got by far the best deal on something T related in 2023! Kinda like buying an all original complete open valve T for $10,000.00! I own one of Hanks built pieces. Incredible workmanship!
In my opinion.

Too bad he went away like other good guys did. Stan, him and more than a few. Dealing with the same thing in our club. Those with nothing to bring to the table got the power. There extremely proud of the fact..

Both pieces are in great condition ...

Nice catch Mike! I've said it before, Jay's accessories have the shelf life of a peeled banana! If you see it and think it's cool, there's at least 10 other T guys that think the same thing! I never wait and think about it anymore because if I do I'll guarantee it'll be gone.

Worth the cost of the impulse if you're cranking your T.
