Re: Please post 2022 Homecoming Pictures
Allan, That Electric Blue Coupe is (I think) a 1917 Milburn owned by Jerry and Kim Kramer. The red Touring next to the Milburn Electric is a 1908 Northern also owned by Jerry and Kim Kramer. On the Northern, note the unusual headlights mounted on top of the front fenders. I was there but was tied do...

Re: MTT Frank Kulick part 2 for anyone interested.
Hi Rob, I read both parts twice and found them most interesting and well written. I was surprised to learn that Kulick left Ford in 1928 and drove Chryslers after that. Yes, this would certainly make an interesting movie, especially for us "Fordaholics"! Thanks for all the time and effort you put in...

Re: 26 touring, putting the top up
Another thing to remember about putting the top up in cold weather is that in the Fall, mice like to come in and find cozy places to spend the Winter. A top left folded down is just that kind of nice place that mice like. If the top is left down, you might find holes in the top eaten by the mice.......

Re: Fun with frames
It's not often that we see a tutorial on riviting. This might make a really good you tube video showing how to install rivits on the front cross member as well as the rear cross member and side rails as you did in this post.
Thanks for showing us how you did it.
