Charging the hill

John Warren

I had noticed that you are looking at using a tt aux trans backward for an overdrive. What do you end up with on final? I think that the overdrive is a great idea.

John Warren

This is what I do to the ones I overhaul. Drill and tap for 3/8 npt

John Warren

Looking forward to seeing more on the build. All interesting and looking good! Thanks for sharing.

John Warren

Heat the sleeve, it will expand and while it is hot, turn it, then oil it when it cools some.

John Warren

I too have been inspired by you Ed. After watching your interview with Jim, I couldn't resist posting you and your car in the 100 mph car post. Thank you for what you do and someday soon I hope to tour with you. I am the guy that purchased the brass Maxwell steering wheel spider at Bakersfield from ...

John Warren

Thank you for taking the time to do this. It is looking almost like time to inspect for smoke! jw

John Warren

Looks like an extremely light car....= speed! Nicely done. My guess is less than 1200 lbs

John Warren

Great that you are able to pass on some knowledge. The lack of this is how things get forgotten. Thanks Hank! jw

John Warren

Maybe a nicely done fun car? Sure looks like Fun Car. Thanks

John Warren

John Warren

Very nice Jim, thanks for taking us along on your travels.jw

John Warren

Another question, on the military photo of the tracked model T, I know that the only way to steer this is with differential braking, anyone know how they accomplished this? I am thinking rocky mountains or similar. They would have to have been good brakes!

John Warren

Love the photos Tom, can anyone identify #6 Thanks jw

John Warren

We are looking forward to photos

That is a great photo of your Mom Steve, I would have been 11.

John Warren

I'm thinking about an 18

John Warren

Totally agree Ron.

John Warren

Tom, I really appriciate you posting the photos, It really takes me back in time and makes me wonder if any of these cars are still on the road today. These photos puts things into prospective of what things were like 100 years ago. That could be only one life time ago! Thanks.jw

John Warren

I have to laugh when I see this post go back to the top. You still don't have that &*%#@)(&&%$$ cap off!!!! :lol: I know not really funny but it still is. sorry. :D I would not worry about scrapping the cap, they are available. you might try drilling a couple of holes in it across from one another ...

John Warren

I have really enjoyed the speedster's posts. Most of the cars were assembled from almost nothing to start with, truly a re-creation. I know it isn't how Henry did it but it has been going on since the birth of our cars. Even Henry raced stripped down cars. I enjoyed building my car and love to drive...

http://www.dauntlessgeezer.com/DG97.html http://www.funprojects.com/pdf/Model%20 ... iticle.pdf Wonderful that you guys took time to explain the timer and settings. Steve's post cuts right to the chase. If you do what he says, this will put your car in time with any timer. Ron's article gives you th...

John Warren

OK an earlier photo. Well....

John Warren

I just ran into a clutch problem that I wish I would have figured out before we put the hogs head back on. When the car was purchased I noticed that the clutch was going over center causing it to want to stay down. After pulling the inspection cover off to inspect, the low band was wore out and was...

John Warren

Beautiful Stan. I have a good feeling that it will work just as well as it looks! Thanks for sharing.

John Warren

Love the way your mag ring turned out Steve. Definitely lots of work. Looks well done.

John Warren

Very nice photo Steve!

Love it! Where there is a will there is a way! It is wonderful that he is sharing.

John Warren

I am hoping to be in that area at that time. Hahahaha would love to give that trophy out.

John Warren

What wrench size?

John Warren

The first time I had seen a sleeved block was on a HP289 ford engine. Only one cylinder was sleeved. I figured that it had threw a rod. When inquiring about it, it was explained that block s have been saved this way, and that a properly installed sleeve will have no problem sealing the water jacket....

John Warren

That will take our military guys back! Amazing how complete.

John Warren

That is beautiful. Do you use it?

John Warren

They usually leave a shelf to support the sleeve. 1 inch sounds a little tall , but it may have been all the guy had and went with it.

John Warren

Thanks Hank, just trying to do my part of paying forward.

A little ride along! First attempt at this.

John Warren

Sweet!!! It has been a wonderful project to follow and congratulations on the first drive, nothing like the first drive!! A little pinstriping , a hood and BAM, you got it!!! I had already figured the wife wanting to go with me, so passengers, in my case, not an issue hahaha. Thanks for sharing and...

John Warren

I stoppedby Carsons, this is where the transmission failed. Low drum gear.

John Warren

That guy is everywhere kind of like Kilroy. Funny, love the transition Hank.

John Warren

This Model T kicked my butt in Lincoln Nebraska 2017. I believe that this is his dyno sheet, WOW. It has simmilar porting.

[/size]

John Warren

Absolutely right...! Best to use 2 balls

John Warren

Sad time for sure, hugs and prayers.

John Warren

Love the photo, Thanks Rich

John Warren

Looking Good Les!
Question about the porting, Can you do that without any welding or epoxying , my concern is water the jacket? I know that some epoxy filling can help flow in the intake ports. Thanks for sharing a wild project!!

John Warren

Here are some better photos of Larry's 25 RPU. It is definitely eye candy. Probably better than new! I know Larry had Zero problems.

John Warren

Totally agree! I had a friend that bought one after the war for $12,000 and It came with a new engine! Wow, he is gone now but he did own one once and sold it for $20,000 thinking he made the deal of a lifetime.

John Warren

Cool Photo

John Warren

I have had many questions about my car lately. Just came home from a 275 mile Joshua Tree tour! I was able to photograph my car with a P51 Mustang Once in a lifetime opportunity!

John Warren

I would say it is a front spring clamp plate that can be used for early and late cars

John Warren

Push your stem in as far as you can without loosing it. This will give the tire room to get into position. We just did one on our tour over the weekend. We left it on the car.

John Warren

Great fun, looking forward to more tours, now that I have retired. Thanks Steve for making things happen. Great meeting you and the gang. I am thinking that the coolest driver had more to do with me not throwing in a jacket, Ha ha ha.

John Warren

We all had a good time, even though the trouble truck was used several times. A couple of flat tires , one ruckstell locked up, some fuel problems and a muffler came apart. Weather was great! People were great! Accommodations were great! And of course the touring was great!

Nice hearing from you Hap, I always love to read what you have to say. Thanks for all the details and hope you are well. jw

Love your modifications Les. Thanks for sharing,jw

Challenges gettingnew tanks is real. Hopefullysomeone will take the reins and starte making new ones again. Danny Lorenzi was one recently in need of a new tank. One of our clubmembers, David Cuddy, had a 26,27 tank that he installed in Danny's truck. He then was able to repair Danny's tank and did...

John Warren

Put a piece of your clothing in the new one and they will love it!

John Warren

What a load, they must have needed the extra hp. Thanks for posting.

John Warren

Agreed, getting rid of that stuff should free up some time. I never put my digging pick away because I knew no one would take it! Still have it, @#$%&**

Nice Job Steve , Much nicer to drive when you can find the controls. My 25 has a firewall for both kinds, I went with the single control. Thanks for sharing. jw

John Warren

Nice Boat and motor, Hank. You are a man of many talents. SUPER JOB. thanks for sharing jw

John Warren

Nice fine Rob, Didn't they use a roller to apply or to flatten ink out on a plate to use? Looks like you did get nice results, great hearing from you! Merry Christmas.

John Warren

Thanks Rich, Hope to see you there. It is a wonderful event and a chance to meet a great bunch of people. The museum is second to none.

John Warren

Wow, Very nice, Thanks for sharing!! jw

John Warren

Definitely a day to think about, our freedom was under attack. So many paid the ultimate price so we could continue to enjoy our beloved country. SALUTE!!!!

John Warren

Any relation Dan? Lotsa kids. Nice speedster, thanks for posting. jw

John Warren

Definitely hard to beat the support the Model T has. It has been a fun road for me too. Yes I really LOVE Model T's.

John Warren

Layden, is this set for sale? I am looking for something stronger than the T

John Warren

As Buddy mentioned when Hassler shocks are installed, the perches need to be swapped side to side. This was the reason I removed the ones on my car. Because they were installed wrong, they needed repair. I still want to reinstall them some day because they are part of the cars history.

John Warren

On My 6V, it uses a cylinder shape float with a center guide. I used a stromberg float while I repaired mine. It was close but no cigar. Love what you are doing Kevin. jw

On the 26/27 use the frame numbers when possible because if you need to change the engine, it won't create title problems in the future. In my case I had a vin # that wasn't model t. It must have been a fictitious number assigned to it, to title it in the day ( late 60's ). My car had a frame # and...

John Warren

I had a set on my 26 Canadian touring when I purchased it. I also didn't re-install them during a front axle rebuild. I did like the looks, but they needed some work, and I haven't done that yet.

John Warren

Interesting photo of an early machine/service shop. Looks like they just poured some concrete in the shop. It also looks like their overalls have a pretty good shine!

John Warren

I would not open the block and valve cover! You have a sealed engine with a proper breather. The most of us have an open engine with the valve cover and block open to the elements. That is one of the reasons that I like the 2 valve cover engines. I did a mod on a couple of engines sealing them with ...

John Warren

I am looking forward to seeing this happen, it would be great to have available. Thumbs up from me.

John Warren

Calle would like to drive.

Well, I am going to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!!

We all want what's best for our country. We are all in fear that we could loose our freedom. It is amazing how effective the media has pitted people against each other. SO SAD!!! Most of us think that the news may be just an opinion. Seems to me that it is ok for one party to say and do one thing a...

John Warren

My last comment was in gest!!! we have a much larger problem that we can't do anything about. Probably won't see much in our lifetime though! Thanks and agree.

John Warren

interesting time, thanks for the great photos, Rich funny, when I looked at the last photo I was thinking of asking you what kind of a car is that? As always Thanks. jw
