One of the great things about Ebay is that it can tell you what cars are really worth. Below are some recently completed auctions showing what people actually paid for a model T...

While Rustolium does not stay shinny that is what I used. Has held up just fine for over 15 years. Wire bushed the frame, used Rustolium rusty metal primer and black over that.

Great thread, I am glad to have some time to dig in to the forum lately. Some of us young bucks are getting a chance at being retired!

Hi Steve...

I see that you are now online...any update on your situation? Dave

Tim Rogers

This would be appropriate considering what's going on in the world today....

Tim Rogers

On topic and relevant- thank you.

WARNING!- this is going to sound crazy to most folks... I know that virtually everyone sings the praises of using copper coat on the head gasket but I wonder if it is really necessary in your case and perhaps it's doing more harm than good? The rule of thumb I was brought up on was that gaskets go o...

Tim Rogers

Tom- it's wise of you to ask questions regarding wood bands but keep in mind that the drums were designed to have cotton applied against them. Will you be using 100 year old drums or new ones?

Completely agree with you Perry. The old forum was awesome. This one lacks the charm and wholesome characteristics of the old forum.

Tim Rogers

Someone please explain to me how a Model T Ford is invisible on the road and how adding lights solves this supposed problem.

Tim Rogers

Yeah, you won't see anything regarding Model As here- after all they have nothing in common with the Model T. Completely unrelated- there was a vacuum between the end of the T and the start of the A. Totally different world when the A was introduced- it was like the T never happened. So therefore fo...

Love the old Johnny Dollar shows- Bob Bailey was the best.

And you can't have rules if they are not consistently and equally enforced.

Plenty of irrelevant posts never get moved to the "Off Topic" section and more rules will just make it harder to manage all the posts.

Mr. Jelf- have you made a decision regarding your rebuild/repair?

Well said Terry. I lost count of the number of people on this thread that had drum failure while using kevlar. It's also amusing how almost everyone won't attribute the failure to Kevlar. I've been saying for years that Kevlar is stronger than steel and potentially harmful to T drums. Guys who swear...

Tim Rogers

Just to be clear- those are Kevlar linings, correct?

Once again this topic has come up and once again many of the replies are full of misinformation. It's not a matter of "what floats your boat" or "different strokes" and other assorted nonsense. Good manifold threads, good pack nut, proper wrench and correctly fitted pipe is all you will ever need. I...

I'm glad you brought this up Dan because I was wondering the same thing. It appears that it's the poster and not the post that is the deciding factor for moving a thread to OT. For example why is the Model K thread not moved? The creation of the OT section is just another tweak that makes the new f...

Let me preface this post by stating that everyone involved with the creation and development of the new Forum deserves much praise, however... I miss the old Forum and I don't think I'm alone.

Thanks guys! I'll check them out.

I would like to have my radiator professionally repaired or restored. Can anyone recommend a shop in the NY, PA or NJ area? Thanks much!

Tim Rogers

It's quite obvious by the increased number of photo posts that folks are finding it quite easy to upload pictures to the new forum. Keep'em coming!

Tim Rogers

I enjoy both sides of the coin, however there is absolutely nothing that compares to the sight, smell and ambience of an original automobile- especially those from the 20s, 30s and 40s.

Great post Fred! Thanks to my Dad I grew up watching those guys race and spent many weekends at Shangri-La as well as many other area tracks. The "Rapid Roman" was the best! Below is a picture of my youngest son sitting with Geoff Bodine at Chemung Speedrome last summer. 20180804_202747.jpg

Dan- thank you for your kind words of support. I received many PMs of encouragement during that time and it's nice to know you felt the same.

Thanks but sorry to hear that. I liked viewing his posts about restorations and his photos of his travels.
