Can someone tell me why the bead along where the mud shield meets is square-ish on some and contoured like others..? Are these 1913..? Sorry.. I have given up on posting photos...

It's always fun, to me, when working on the T, to look for where there is 'Ford' stamped into each and every part. I thought this would be a fun thread to have, posting pictures of all the 'ford's on our Fords. :)

Here's one, on a rear axle shaft.
Where's the ford on your car?

Having spent 4 years in the Marines from 1972 to 1977 and running 3 miles a day, it destroyed my knees. It has been 48 years since my discharge from the Marines and I have waited as long as I can.

I recently had to replace my original 1916 round gas tank. the left end had been cut open by a previous owner and poorly repaired. When it started to leak last year I attempted a repair with JB Weld's Tank weld. It held a year but I pulled on a loose end last week and it pulled right off. Due to time constraints I ordered a new tank from Kevin...

Hello, my name is Kevin and I just purchased a 1923 Ford Model T Tudor. The car is very complete and original looking. It needs a few things to get road worthy.
