Well done!
It's rare when young folks get to show the older crowd how it's done.

If you really really want the car, it is a speedster and the seat can be moved.
I am sure you have the skills to move the seat but.....
Looking at the pictures of how it was built it looks like moving the seat would require quite a bit of effort and paint work.
I did...

Just one of many on line sources.

There was a pile that big of early v8s down near the Dalton GA, TN border in the mid 60s. Would be worth a fortune today.

Mike:
thanks for posting the meet flyer ... you are correct in stating our need to support regional swapmeets ... the hobby needs this sort of activity both for the exposure that vendors and service suppliers get and the in person sharing of knowledge and experience that is available to buyers by simply asking ...i expect to attend this meet well...

Here is a really good document on vacuum tanks

Maybe it will fit and maybe it won't.

Finding a brass float is a great solution but they are intolerant of modifying.
It has to fit in the hole of the gas tank so somewhere about 2 diameter and 2 to 3 tall
Then about a 1/4 hole in the middle.
I scaled the screen shot and this is where I got my...

In the pre-war section, are the spots large enough to set up display and park your truck. I won’t have a trailer but will have few things that are heavy and would like to display off the back of truck.

Round diver bell, single rivet, holes around the chimney: late 1915-1917.

Todd, if you can ever find one, I would like to get dimensions off it so I can make patterns for the castings for these, if you are willing to assist with this project.

Thanks!

Thanks very much for the link! I found it through that.

Going to Kurt. Thank you.

Not all Model T's are wired the same

Everyone has their favorite drawing and accessories are custom wired.
I'm sure others will send their favorite wiring diagrams also.

YEA!! Finally!

Thanks guys. I appreciate the reponses.

I'll work on some pictures tonight.
Stromberg carb. Ok, that got me going in the right direction I think.
I didn't know 26-27 pedals were different, humm. I hate woodworking though..
I appreciate the info links, I hadn't found those previously but now have them bookmarked.

Thanks,
Brian

If you have access to someone with a TIG welding machine that can be repaired on the car. If you were close I would do it for you. I have a Miller Sychro-Wave SD welder. TIG welding does not produce any spatter, so no worries to surrounding area. That's not a difficult repair in the right hands.

I have taken it off the market, Thanks, Bob.

This car appears to have sat in storage for a long period of time. Has ALL old gasoline been drained from the tank in the last month or two and replaced with fresh gasoline? Has the carburetor been drained or cleaned recently? What about the gas screen? Have you checked for dirt dauber nests in the carburetor and exhaust? The fact that the engine...

What a great car. Wish I had an extra $23.5K laying around. While the top boot may be repro, at least IT is CORRECT in that it has what I refer to as the infamous flaps on either side. So many repro's do not, I even paid the extra $125 to Classtique to have it put on my '13's top boot. Labor intensive I guess! But it looks great and is correct....

Thank you to all of you guys. These answers are what I needed. I appriciate the help. Art

Points spoken for - thanks MTFCA !

Hello everyone,
After reading all the responses and thinking back at what I had done, I went out to my shop and carefully unbolted the shifter and pulled it out slowly while trying to see where the fork was in relation to the collar groove. Sure enough! The fork was on the right side of the collar groove. No wonder I only had one gear. Works now...

Mark, see if a local machine shop can hone the lifter bores for you instead of reaming.

It has been my experiences that most chucking reamers need a minimum of about 2% of the diameter (-in this scenario about 8 thousandths) to keep the flutes loaded during the cutting process. Otherwise, you generally get chatter marks in the bore finish which...

Thanks, Steve. Makes sense.

Today we hung the front fenders on our 27 Sport Touring.
It’s starting to look like a car!

Wow that's a nice paint job! Info regarding it?

Do you have any contact information for Mader's? I looked on the computer and found the address but couldn't find a telephone number.

Wouldn't this be handy if you had a starter conversion to choke from the passenger compartment?

If you go to the facebook site and click on the available links you can see more photo's of the Town Car as well as other Model T's.
There is obviously a keen Model T Ford group in Uruguay who have numerous Model T's they have collected, including some unusual local bodied T's. I'm surprised the existance of this group has not been more...

Sorry for the fast reply. Wanted to get on the thread! I sent an email. Hope we can connect.

Thank you for all the responses.
Now I know what I'm have.
Now the hunt for the badge to go in the shell.
Thanks Rick

I agree everyone needs to be careful. I do not do any pay system besides Cash or Check.
Every hear of a bank not having checks. I had 2 guys wanting to buy something but they didn't have any checks?

Harvey, it is a good idea to re-torque the axle nut after driving the car a bit. I always leave the hubcap off after pulling a wheel to reminds me to do the re-torque.

I hear you Rich. I gave up trying to get a perfectly matched pair.

I wish that this car was in Portland Oregon. I would buy it in a heart. Tom E.

I like those. I have one on each of my 1913's.

Take a look at my thread Getting Rattles back on the road. I have the complete upholstery job on a 26 Touring.

Thanks guys for all the advice I’ll keep on it

I have stacks of Vintage Ford and Model T Times covering a lot more years than you have listed.
But I have always heard about the Secrets of Speed magazine and curious as to what is inside.

In 2022, I replaced my 52 year old, 21” “Universal” tires, tubes and flaps (purchased from Mark Auto in 1970) on my 1926 coupe with (5) new 21” “Goodyear” tires, tubes and flaps and they are superb. I could not be happier with them. Good luck.

PS. Increasing the diameter of the tire will throw off your speedometer (if you have one). I have a...

I worked at an aircraft service center for a manufacturer, and started seeing Expiration Dates of 1 year on Loc-Tite products. I called Loc-Tite, and they told me: Loc-Tite products NEVER expire! If they are still liquid, then they are fine to use! They wanted to know WHO PUT the expiration date on their products, and when I investigated, I found...
