What is the contact number for the guy that makes the floorboards?

Family home movies. (Not mine) 1929 Franklin, Lincoln Highway road scenes, small towns, landmarks, steam trains, motor court cabins. If you have some time on a cold winters day it's a good window into what auto travel was like for one family in 1929-30.

I don't think the man pushing is doing much good in this situation. I don't see a line between the two Ts so I wonder how they got it out.

I purchased a reproduction Steven's axle repair frame a while back and I am getting ready to use it. Upon inspection I see the two holes are misaligned. I don't think I can use it as is for fear the repair bushings won't line up enough to allow the spindle bolt to pass through the repaired axle and thread at the bottom. It's not just a matter of...

Still searching for top irons or top for 25 Roadster.....anybody have any laying around?

This post is only for dye hard T guys. I've been searching for years for original 9/16 upholstery nails, and have not been successful. They only used these on the end of the binding on early cars possibly until they started using hidem welt. I was using 7/16 until recently. The rest of them are 3/8 .

Can anyone shed some light on whether to use the original one I have or switch over to a solid state one.
A description of the original one could result in generator failure and the solid state ones sound like they
are more reliable. I found them on Snyders web site and the cost is a lot less that replacing a generator
if the relay gets stuck....

The front camshaft bearing (notched style ) needs to be babbitted and bored.
Also the front camshaft journal and thrust face also needs to be touched up by

Can anyone tell me what the original length was so that I can determine what
the new reworked length would be ?

Thank You

Sure seems like one of those easy tasks to check off your list in short order on a rainy day. Well, it isn’t.

Hello All, I am restoring my Model T 1914 headlights. Would anyone know the shade of back paint I should be painting the inside of the headlight housing (glossy black, satin black, flat back, jet black) ?? Bob

When I go through a drive through in my T, I usually pay in 2 dollar bills and half dollars. The reactions can get pretty amusing. Anyways, I was at the dollar general not 30 min ago, and handed the cashier 2 two-dollar-bills. She wanted to keep them and asked the manager how she could do that. The manager told her how and then told her that they...

This carburetor came from an estate collection of T parts so I have no knowledge of its condition. From what I can tell I think it’s a 1915 style. Has the December 1914 date on the cover plate. The throttle shaft is pretty loose in the bore in the body. The body could stand to have a bushing installed. Otherwise looks pretty complete.

I have been working on the wheel rebuild and I got another front hub to replace one of the ones I had that had a spun bearing race. While bead blasting the new one and getting the races out, I noticed that the rough casting was about 1/10th of an inch off center. This made it tough to get to the back side of the race on one side and the rough...

We have a 1915 T Roadster with an electric horn. The tube on the steering column is very small diameter and won't admit two wires. The question is, how did Ford wire the horn? Thank you in advance.

Hi

I bought a set of Campion x spark plugs for my 1926 Touring from two sellers on Ebay and had them sent to me in Switzerland. I figured they were both the late old plugs.

But I see some differences:

-Cone at the base of the cable connection thread
-Length of the porcelain
-Mounting of the archwire

Can someone enlighten me there?

It seems like most Model Ts have been upgraded over the almost over 100 years since 1908 and 1927. Certainly engine numbers showing blocks that have been added or upgraded and made by Ford up until 1941 are not an indicator.

Here’s a few pics of a 13 Speedster at the Savoy Auto Museum. I’ve seen the Rajo head a few times. Has anyone run a T with a Rajo head? What kind of performance differences are associated once one is installed? Curious about the specs of the impact it has.

Wondering if there is a general consensus regarding tire wear by mileage?
I have a 26 Tudor that is due for a new set of tires.
These are 21” Universal brand. I do not have a speedometer so the mileage on this set of tires is a geusstimation.
Anybody out there have a similar car with accurate mileage on a set of compatible tires?

Hypothetical.......

Model T Fords are to be identified by the motor engine number. The early Ford manuals suggest that when a new block or motor is place in a car whose motor needs to be replaced, the mechanic use stencils to place the old motor number on the new motor block....

So, should a 1927 roadster be reconstructed, whose title and older...
