But successful people are breaking that paradigm all the time

You are correct Sir! I will add a 4th part to this....The ability to succeed at doing the three listed & still make damn good money while the others flounder & are happy to break even at the end of the year . Unfortunately in doing this we do have to make some sacrifices in our...

Ok now I am excited, Montana is a big state, where in Montana? Thanks for sharing jw

Henry Ford idolized Edison in his youth and is the one person he respected most and whose advice he would have taken as a younger man (Ford was just 15 when Edison, who was 31, developed a working light bulb and invented the phonograph in 1878). It was when Ford got older that he grew stubborn and prone to listening to no one but himself. After...

Replaced the 27 touring my wife regretted selling and drove it home (about 90 miles total) over the weekend with high winds for most of the trip. I think she likes it and wont let anyone talk her out of it this time.

Awesome Bob!

Glad you got Marilyn another one....Happy Wife, Happy Life! Even in that far away picture she definitely looks...

I used plywood for the 1919 on my car deck instead of using the wood slats as original. That was over 30 years ago as it was a piece of cabinet grade plywood. I’ll bet Ford would have used a single sheet of plywood if it was cheaper and readily available. Anyway it’s held up well.

Price dropped by 50%. Now at $40 plus shipping

Dropped price at $30 plus shipping

Walt Berdan is making good progress on a home made run of replacement rotors, I expect an announcement from him soon. :)

Be sure to get a coil that is for points ignition, not for electronic ignition, as the Amperage of the coil for electronic ignition is too high and will fry the contact breaker points.
As you are using an old distributor i asume your car is still 6Volts, most 6Volt coils are not available for electronic ignitions.
If your car is 12 Volts be sure...

Email also sent re 1915 block.

this should have been posted to the forum, my error

Thanks Stan. I appreciate this very much.

George. The thought :twisted: did cross my mind that it was a secret process and the anodized label was given to it to throw everyone off. It may still be classified. Jim Patrick

Steve, I have one with a working key and partial ammeter. It needs work but may be worth a look. I’d call it very restorable. Tmorsher@icloud.com to reach me for pics.

Thanks Mark !

Still for sale. It sure is a nice one!

I'll take the one on the top left in top photo. I will reply to the email. Thank you.

Birdhaven is evidently getting a few of those parts back in stock.

They had that small bar wrench recently.

They are keeping a back order list for other parts that are becoming available a few at a time.

One of those popular parts was the Fun Projects Generator Voltage Regulator/Cutout and they recently got a few of those.

Perhaps the most...

Beautiful Tudor! I’m sure you have thought of this, but I will suggest it anyway. The title should have the prior owner(s) name, the date sold/bought and the place of the sale. Even if it is a new title, with only the seller you bought it from, the seller on the title should have records in their files of the estate or person they obtained it from...

Tank pictures

I have about 30 of them if anyone needs one, Bob

Are you looking for the distributer plates?

Here is a picture of the generator mount.

Worth the purchase! There is a lot of information not seen in the black book as well as worthwhile articles.

Does the 999 exist today?

Ignacio, I sent you the wheel and another email per your request. You should see it tomorrow or Tuesday.
I still have received no joy here. PayPal is good thanks, Dave
I was surprised that shipping was only $42 UPS.
I found a recent radiator box worked very nice.

Kewl!

Does it dump?

: ^ )

Amazingly well, the mechanism is well engineered. Gonna be useful!

Thank you, Steve, Bob

Here is a picture of my mother and her brother with a toy car taken around 1941 or 42.

I have a pair available if you are going to pick up. I'm in NW Ohio. jputnam(at)wcoil.com

Vehicle transport is the same.

It’s just a larger package in the mail
so to speak.

Folks don’t realize that logistics dictate a full trailer goes down the road containing cargo that gets closer to the destination.

It makes sense from a shipping standpoint 🤔

I posted these two short videos. Catsup, a treatment I'd heard about, wasn't very useful. The poultice I tested, however, did a nice job of removing heavy oxidation. Followed up with buffing, the part polished up nicely.

I sold more Model T parts at Luray in one day than I sold in Hershey in 4 days !!!
Great swap meet!!!!!!!!!!!

After a year of ownership, I can confirm it's a good carburetor :-)

Got it - I’ll call you. Thanks

Pat,

It says The Swan Carburetor Co Cleveland Ohio USA . It is greasy sawdust. The gentleman who had passed was a wood worker. Buzz saws and other belt driven stuff.

That’s a neat little car Jeff. Did the original builder build any more or just the one car? Would be interested in hearing more about it. Is it a complete car? What is the track and wheelbase ? I am restoring my 13 Zip cyclecar and another old car friend is in town is restoring his ‘14 Scripps Booth.

Todd, I went back to this thread and...

Larry:
i will check to be certain , but the laminated shim is .016 thick ... being 8 .002 shims total ... in theory a single .002 shim is removed from 1 side of the cap to effect a .001 adjustment ... if a smaller increment is needed a person may lap the caps ... i will lap with wet 180 sandpaper on a precision surface ( lapping block) ... hope...

Very nice Holley G still available.

Sorry, I posted the later patent that shows the model for attachment to windshield. Hank, that’s why it’s only $1500. Dan, I sure could do it, but would need more than that of the reproduction.

Thanks Bill....this came about because I let the historical society auction off Model T rides for two couples which netted the museum over $300. I took the Model T over to talk ride logistics with the administrator and they were blown away to put it mildly. They loved the car, loved the history and would like me to participate in a number of their...

Suzanne, the other side of the tracks is where the low income people live.

Do you call the Interstate the highway, the freeway, or the expressway? We use all three terms here.

The Freeway has on and off ramps, the Highway has streets that intersect with it (not ramps), and the expressway has fewer streets intersecting (with stoplights).

And...

The majority of these are original branded SCANDINAVIA & I always check them for smell as in musty - I don't buy those - these in my stock are all prefect to run. I've collected them for many years.

I do have a few sets from the seventies & eighties (way before tar babies ) when they were still the same weave BUT THEN, someone had the bright idea...
