I sold the Stevens Axle Tool and a person claiming to be me contacted the buyer. He wanted him to send him the money. He was calling from a 270-632-0562 number. I had several people interested so I don't know how he figured out who it was.

Some years back RV Anderson reproduced a Watts style clutch. The price of the original material skyrocket and he used a ditterent material and asked some who purchased the kit to critique it.

Does this date really mean anything for a Model T or is it only because it is used on aircraft?
Why does it expire? Looks like vaseline in a tube.
Thank you.

Hey there Model T friends. This is my first post in a good while. As most of you know already, I own a 1926 TT. I have not driven my truck all that much in the past few years and that it=s due to one central reason. Almost every spoke out of the 48 on the car is loose. This looseness causes the truck to walk all over the place when I'm driving and...

Does anyone know if there’s a difference between Canadian coil boxes and US coil boxes. I have a 1922 Canadian tourer… the coil box needs rebuilt. The wood isn’t the correct thickness and when the lid is on I short out coils….

I either want to buy a rebuild kit, or maybe someone has a nice rebuilt one ready to go for me?

Thanks for your help!...

I know the 2nd owner started a partial restoration on Daisy in the mid/late 60's after being stored since 1935.
Cleaning up the wood on her, while the firewall is original, the hood boards are replacements built by Syverson Cabinet, from their Des Plaines location they vacated mid 60's.
Just some continuing interesting archeology......

1915 Ford Model T Touring

This beautiful Model T is an excellent example of an American classic touring car, that was built in Canada in June of 1915 and still retains all original Canadian markings.

Originally purchased by Harris Fahenstock—whose family stood among the social elite alongside the Vanderbilts—this 1915 Model T was his preferred...

My mom likes hummingbirds and needed a lamp so I made her one. My girlfriend immediately asked me,”how many Model T parts did you use for that”?
She knows me too well and the answer is, a cut off transmission shaft flange, Holley G mixing chamber cover and one Model A brake drum.

I need to make a mother in law seat for my S roadster. If someone could give me dimensions, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
