Panhard Bar.., French inventor 1910ish, Watts Linkage, Scottish inventor 1784. Same guy who came up with the Watt as a measurement in electricity. Both state a short version in their designs as it prevents flex and more precise adjustment. Geometry is the key in their performances. Just stating fact...

Panhard Bars should always be slightly larger than steering control bars and should always be used with some sort of shock absorbers. The biggest problem happens due to people not installing some sort of rubber absorption device at the attachment points, very critical as reverberation with frequency...

I called Steve today, he was in very good spirits and has been making great progress in my opinion. They are awaiting insurance crap to figure out what rehab to go to ..., imagine that. Just taking to him, it appears he will recover from this! Good News.

All the Best,

Hank

Nice bones to the ole girl Kim. Looks like possibly a Studebaker wagon iron kit. I restored a bed very similar to that one some years back.

Child labor laws do not apply! Since Mommy and Daddy are footing the bill. LOL!

How many do you need Ed? I have them in nickel plated brass 5/32" shank diameter by 3/8, 7/16, 1/2, or 5/8" total length. 1" seems a bit long.

Hank

I haven't done squat! Prior commitment and promise to build a custom patio from 15 years ago! I wish my wife would learn to forget somethings!

Bryce I agree! This one I built for my dear friend and mentor Dr Gary Flandro, NASA Astrophysicist and the guy that came up with the Voyager 1 & 2 probes as an intern at Cal-Tech. This is a steel clad over solid oak and black walnut.Enjoy! DSC01354.jpeg DSC01357.jpeg IMG_0198.jpeg IMG_0201.jpeg IMG_...

Too Damn Funny Allan!

Hank

Ditto on Erik's post..., been there done that! And don't forget to dimple the upper mounting on the oil pan for those rods to clear!

Hank

Way too many factors come into play in your question.

Start with.., how big are you? Tall, fat, how low is your seat pan, etc, etc, etc. Ergonomics of man and machine!

This column has a steering coupling to lower it at the steering wheel 6".

Vernon,

I like people that do not give up easy! I too look at challenges not disappointments, ROCK ON!

Dallas.., You are a gem! Thanks for the updates and most of all, you being you!

....,Something as bad as this wreak with Steve Jelf we come out of the ground like mad hornets. Humanity is a wonderful thing but compassion and care for another...., stranger, friend, member, etc really shows how great this club is. Putting differences aside and doing the right thing is our greates...

This is not what I wanted to wake up to! Thoughts and Prayers Steve!

Hank

Looks a lot like an early Liberty Head.., They were used on boats for the most part. Thats why there is a center return on the water outlet. Not very efficient for a car with a radiator since early boats used a forced scoop system.

Hank

Hot Temperatures, Hot Pavement, and Hot Cord Style Tires @ 55-60 psi are a bad combination. Hope he is doing well. One thing about this, he is a new product testing laboratory in motion!

Hank

Thanks Walt!

At flywheel from building specs should produce right at 160 Hp @ 4,400 rpm. Yes, that is correct. But the factory T transmission will steal 1/3 of the horse power, 128 pounds rotating is not good.

Hank

SOLD! Pending Payment!

I did get a response just a while ago so he is real. I owe an apology.

Hank

It appears he is just fishing and not serious.., Does not respond to emails.

Hank

To add to Dan's comments..., proper balancing of an engine is a lot of work but pays off by longevity and reliability. Static balancing vs dynamic balancing with bob weighting and surface honing. How far do you want this thread to go?

All good!

You are reverting to your childhood..., known in modern terms in how to deal with a screwed up world. Best term, THERAPY!

Hank

PS: Be very careful, they are known to breed

Robert,

You are playing our tune. I believe about 90% of Model T purchasers have buyers regret so to say. All good, you will get thru this.

Hank

Too many toys in the toy box so to say. Over 10 years of collecting period correct parts, accessories, etc or fabricating. BOAT: William Atkins design from the 1920's, was 14 feet rescaled to 12 feet by Karl Wiernert (master boat builder). White cypress construction from an approximately 200 year ol...

Oh My God! You have to be kidding me!

Cutting felt is normally done by a punch method.

Hank

The offset script makes this one unique, not many around.

It is no higher than a conventional boat trailer, actually less by an 1 1/2 and the length is perfect! It has a 1920’s accessory trailer 6” drop axle too.

Hank

I use to make them from scratch.., but age and arthritis is taking it toll!

Nice work Mark!!!!!!!!

Should have figured you would notice the 1960 Zephyr! LOL! 13,000 original miles

Dan that is an original drop trailer axle using Model T hubs sold by Sears and Roebuck in the 1920's.

The motor is a 1926 Johnson AB-25, kinda rare as it was made for salt water and was manufactured in South Bend, IN. The factory was only there for 5 1/2 years. The boat is a William Atkinson design from the 1920's and was original 14' but my dear friend Karl Wiernert, Master Boat Builder scaled this...

Soooo this project as been going on for many years. So you think finding parts for 1920's cars are hard to find.., try 1920's boat and accessories. Not many left, were not built of quality as boats were throw away and trailers were built on a budget. So making the ultimate Model T towable accessory....

Only the Best Wishes for Mike and Family!

Hank Lee and Family

The Type 600 is a unique duck for sure, uses one vibration coil with the flywheel magneto coil or a conventional added coil.

Rare find!

Maybe a staple gun, a printed certified copy of the book's statement, and the officials forehead might get you a sticker! Just thinking out load on the easiest solution. The local nazi's strike again.

Hank

Thanks Again Jennifer.., you renewed my hope on the human race! Awesome Days ahead for the future.

All the Best,

Hank

Thank You Jeff and Chris! Awesome service as always.

Hank

Finally met Jennifer, aka Model T Gal, What a HOOT and folks not afraid of squat, open minded, and grasp info first time! Maybe I have an apprentice to train? Maybe we can produce Model T sheetmetal? Maybe? I will wake up now, I think I am dreaming! Too Good of a day to be real!

All the Best,

Hank

Stephen, Tapered leaf springs are more difficult to produce, why? Because the temper on the ends are different than the centers, this is called progression hardening. I can almost guarantee the reproductions do not work as well because they are tempered as one equal temper. Try finding a really good...

They want to buy it back.., right? But probably not at that price? WTH?

Hank

Scott...,Like Dahhhhhhh!

Corey 20 years ago I was making bowls for others in need not just Model T's. Then , $100.00 for a bowl and they all bitched and complained insulting the man that made it. USA prices with quality is one price, third world country exploited labor is another with no quality. So on today's money scale t...

I think from a craftsman's outlook, let him find his own market and clients. Why? because I have had everyone want something made, but when produced, no money and time and materials wasted. Just stating facts.

Hank

No floor used on a RPU, it would only interfere with the battery access and leaf spring hump.

Hank

If you have to question the integrity of another and their long term intentions of selling something to them, then you do not live in a democracy. You are turning over a title of ownership and your interest goes with that device. Everyone wants to keep things as they are...., well, that ain't happen...

Mark, Pattern was sent today.

Keith, It is a floor for a 1926/27 Roadster Trunk.

Hank

Chad sometimes they need to be tack welded or pinned. depends on who made them.

Just Sayin,

Hank

Mark that template was sent to me by Ken Buhler in Canada. Super Guy. I, we, aka Jennifer, are finished with this one and I am not planning on doing these anymore so send me a private email and will send this one to you.

All the Best,

Hank

Robert,

You now have room for another project..., the helper just got her college car done in time! What an AWESOME Dad!

LOL

Hank

Dave I use Jack Rabbit clutches but do like to set spring pressure at around 1 7/8" and never have problems. I have a high performance overhead set up with over 20 years and still going strong. Just my experience.

Hank

Thanks for sharing Don.., very unique story.

Hank

Mack it is all practice.., you can do it! We all start somewhere and when you have some success it fuels the fire. Just watch YouTube videos and watch your pressures. sometimes multiple passes work better.

Rock On!

Hank

A little cleaning up on the edges and ready for pick up! Thanks again for the kind support dear friends.

Hank

Just remember that a car outside under a cover will sweat with condensation. Proper ventilation is very important.

Just Sayin

Hank

I commend you for your attempt and skill set! They look very presentable. On another note.., with very little investment those cans are easy to fabricate at an entry level sheet metal person level. YouTube has good instructions, don't be intimidated, just practice. A hand rolling machine from HFT wi...

Thanks Folks for the kind comments. I like picking who I do work for now as it becomes more rewarding with less pay, less hassle, less demanding. My body keeps reminding me...., Take a break or pay me in pain dollars! All good when you are running at about 25% of your old self. Golden Years..., BOLL...

Bob those at the bottom picture in the box sure do look like Jaxon studs!

Hank

Santa's Elf's work a little extra since they are older. A peck here and a peck there, a slap here and not there, and done except for the hump. Hand embossing even with a power roller requires hand finishing.

Hank

You can make your own using a large C channel as a support at the bottom, cut out dipper channels, box and form ends, then heat and form to your liking. Use your imagination.
