Thats interesting Art. Scammers must be territorial and of different ilks. Every FS ad I’ve placed on the HCCA site has resulted in scammers - only. Whereas every FS ad placed here results in bonafide customers… just my 2 cents worth

One Shoe has good linings. Other shoe needs a few rivets. Both brake drums (for wood wheels) in excellent shape and previously painted black. Only $ 90 + mailing. gwhouse731(at)gmail(dot)com

Thanks for the good news Dave,… its been a circuitous journey with a happy ending - finally ! Welcome home Steve !!

Tsk…Tsk…Butcher job. What a shame. Pre ‘23 coupes are fairly rare.

“all new sheet metal”? If you need rewooding, you live in the perfect place

So, you’re gonna restore it ?

Yeah… It was a beautifully restored E&J 66. And it would have greatly detracted from the appearance of your ‘13. It’s now going to MN. Like Rich said; I like the looks of your mismatched lamps. Get your T running good and safe and you’ll have the time of your life in it.

But how do you drain the oil ? Is that homemade ?

Only 6 sets of 2 ‘lites’ left …

I’d love to own them but it’s 1356 miles away - one way. And figure on 3-4 motel stays. But they’re very nice at a reasonable price

…. to my 1914 runabout

. Or maybe happy 110th birthday to its engine block. Think I’ll go for a drive in it on the 19th.

How interesting ! That 1st picture is of an obviously new ‘New and Improved’ outside a dealership with Non Treated wood spokes. And the last picture tells me they lost cowl lamp fonts way back when.

. Thanks again Tom. I don’t know how you do it but its giving us a great deal of entertainment.

But Terry; if you won that ‘13 touring you’d have to replace that late crank handle with an aluminum one

Spoken For.Awaiting payment. Thank you Jim and MTFCA

Emails sent. It appears that the level of safety with glass plus bubble wrap involved will require a $18.40 USPS Medium Flat Rate box.

The 2 window configuration. I went by the Peer-O-Lite description “2 lite style for 1923 or later”.

Thanks for all the interest and emails

Still have 9 sets left !

Wow!..Very interesting!..Thank you for sharing the opportunity you had to research the Dec. 1921 snapshot of Ford finances.

Just found 25 sets consisting of interior and exterior metal frames with glass. Replace that torn or discolored isinglass or celluloid with Bemo brand “glass curtain lights for Ford Cars”. Expand the picture of frames to see clear glass. No machine screws (8) or nuts available. Only $15 per set + po...

Complete and Restored !..simply install. Excellent original Lancaster reflector. No dings, dents or tears. $300 + mailing …

We’ll, how about $30 each ?

If Mark doesn’t buy it, I will

They may very well be steel tops. I had a pair of Jno. Brown 110s that had steel tops.

Thats a good idea Jeff. I’d like to see the fastener method too for my C Cab. You’ve been real descriptive in dimensions. Thank you

The shorter one on left is octagonal sides. Other is hexagonal. Both nickel plated brass no cracks. Only $30 ea.

Very interesting carburetor linkage for that straight thru carb

Yes. Let me suggest you title this ad: ‘WTB Right Hand Drive Coupe’….

Howdy Richard and thank you. Guess I’m sold out. And thanks to MTFCA..

Now I’ll need your address Richard Williamson

You got it Robert. One down and two to go.

If the ‘tourer’ you’ll be transporting on an open trailer has a rubber bulb to actuate the horn….remove the rubber bulb before leaving on a trip….and don’t ask me why I know this

If you have a “needle nose” or “teacup” crankcase/pan with a wallowed out receiver for the wishbone ball, you need one of these. Have one T 809 and two T809B. See the block FORD. Only $45 each or $130 all 3 + USPS small flat rate…. gwhouse731(at)gmail(dot)com

Not much D.E.I. In those pictures

My 2 cents worth and I’ll agree with Mark…. Several years ago an old friend asked me to help him find out why his Model T overheated in parades. It started easy and ran good but when I took it out on a 5 mile run, the radiator gurgled and gushed so I had to pull off the road. Upon inspection I found...

That looks like a good idea Allan. Thank you for sharing it.

You’ve been really thorough Dale. Now drain the gas into a gas can and restore that sediment bulb. I’ll bet the screen is clogged up.

9th from the bottom in the snow is, I’m guessing a ‘14 touring. Sure has paid for itself. Does it even have headlamp lens and reflectors? And is it late ‘14 with one bill front fender and the other narrow bill. Possible transition into 1915 ? Quite the food for thought, eh ? Thank you Tom

I totally agree Allan. And that’s how I’ve successfully proceeded in this small task..

j

Really !!.. Thank you for offering reasonable and considerate advice to my initial post Tim. I now believe these 1/4” plastic ferrules were meant for refrigerator water and ice dispensers and have achieved a leakless gas line from tank to carburetor using a brass ferrule.

Thanks guys. I guess I was incomplete in my description. I’m using a locally available gasoline on/off brass valve about 5” behind the carburetor and would use a ferrule on the 1/4” copper line inside of a modern brass hex nut that enters into the valve. I’m using an original hex nut with neoprene w...

I’ve changed the carburetor and manifold necessitating an additional 7.5” of gas line from the gas shut off valve. Not having additional .25” ferrules, I drove into town for other chores and stopped in a hardware store for a 23 cent brass ferrule. They were out !! So I bought a white plastic ferrule...

Whaaa ?? Steve is back among the living !! PTL !
Welcome back to the discussions Steve

Well, ……as Yoda would say, “A Ford Model T trunk its not”
But its probably ridden on a running board or on a touring’s back seat..

Thanks Bob. I didn’t know how the choke wire thru the radiator looked. Now I see the bend several inches behind the radiator. I guess that’d be clotheshanger gauge wire ?

Do you specifically need a ‘27 touring ? If so, I ain’t got no ‘27 touring but I hope this helps. The choke wire fastens to a spring loaded lever inboard of the intake throat. See the outboard choke lever on the same shaft with nothing fastened for hand crank choking.

Non Ford radiator and pressed steel crank handle. Looks like a ‘bitsa’ to me.

Am I learning something from many of Tom’s era pictures ? Every acetylene tank I’ve seen mounted has the valve pointed rearward.

But I installed a ‘11 acetylene tank on my ‘11 Hupmobile with the valve pointed forward…..
Which is correct ?

Both VF and Times arrived yesterday. Heck, I haven’t even unwrapped the Gazette yet.

Good idea Tim !! I wouldn’t have thought of that. Cut a hole in the floor and fashion some kind of lid then line it up with a hole on lake ice

could also serve a winter mailman with incontinence…..

Fascinating !!.. The snowmobile appears to be a vehicle dedicated to winter use and very unlikely to be redesigned to 4 wheel use. I’d like to see more views of it. Could that narrow door without a step be the entry ? And the “window” appears to be a roadster/touring rear lite 🤔 I can imagine a stov...

Fascinating !.. thank you Tom… I’m gonna go out on a limb and say the guy in the 4th, 5th and 6th pictures is the same guy and, judging by license plates, the touring in the 4th and 6th pics is the same. But I can’t, for the life of me, discern a rear ‘window’ on the touring in the 5th picture

Robert, Have you ever envisioned what a WW I Model T ambulance would look like with late ‘24-‘26 wheels, rims and balloon tires ? Is it so difficult to find square wood felloe 3s and 3.5s ? .. Just curious; is your 1915 War Wagon a Nash Quad ?

Thanks for the pre dawn entertainment Martin. Everything was much simpler over a hundred years ago… and the right rear wheel is the traction wheel, huh ?

They appear to be on the same shaft and just for ‘looks’. The hot rod also has an upside down steering wheel. …..
……appropriate

My only ***btt*** this ad before letting it fall into oblivion

Theres one for interchangeable multi year parts
- and six wheel brakes ! Very

interesting

-26F ??? When the temps get down to +50 F, I stay backed up to a fireplace

Oh…..OK….. Thanks Brent

Then, does it have true value ?

I don’t like “isinglass” sewn into long grain or copra top material. Indeed, I don’t know the difference in isinglass and clear plastic as offered today. Consequently I found a non Model T rear window metal frame, had it nickel plated and inserted real glass…whatta you think ? Colonel: what is the r...

I’ve advertised very moderately here on the MTFCA Classifieds and every response I’ve received were bonafide interested T hobbiests. However, every respondent of my FS ads on the HCCA website are scammers with every method of operation as mentioned above.

Then…$38 + mailing ?

OK…. how about $55 + mailing then ? Would be necessary on homemade wood T body.

….in 4 minutes. Thank you Mike and MTFCA !!
…. shoulda asked $300

The chain cable inside the sheath turns as I turn the gear. Includes additional cable (pictured) with same ends. No damage.

Sales Mgr., Parts Mgr. and Service Mgr. probably just had a stool. Mechanics worked from home

Don’t wait until you lose your front floorboard risers to the crime wave sweeping across America. Get a standby set now !

Once again; unique and interesting pictures. Thank you Tom. We’ve seen that ‘Man Without Hands’ here before. Was he wounded in WW I ? The runabout is a ‘16 but we didn’t commit Pershing’s AEF until 1917. So I’d be interested in the Iowa license plate date. Early twenties? Hands not lost in war ? And...

That body + those parts at that price should be sold by noon today !

‘B Team’ spoken for. Thank you Scott. ‘C and D Team’ available. Better hurry. They’re flyin off the shelf

Howdy Ed,
…..Good question, so I’ve included these 3 pictures. If the measurements will fit your coil box, I’d be inclined to ask Brent Mize if he could ‘remodel’ the coil to work..gh

‘A team’ down…. ‘B, C, and D teams’ left…thanks Ken and MTFCA..

I believe probably for a one cylinder engine. Excellent wood, black brass top and nearly new KW points.
Only $50 + mail cost. Personal check is fine.

Do it look like this ? If so, easily welded. I just didn’t dress it down before powder coating.

In inclement weather I’m glad the top is down, side curtains neatly folded under the rear seat and the gentlemen wear appropriate ties

Re: Fender id please What Wayne said at 8:49 pm…. I meant to say

What Wayne said at 8:49 pm…. I meant to say

I’d even go much earlier than ‘13. They’re squared front fenders but have the correct 4 rivet support bracket. ‘13 and ‘14 are more rounded fronts. These are examples of early and late ‘14 fenders

Sounded like fun. Thanks for sharing and the pictures. If I were to go, think I’d select the TT with cast iron Warford and Ruckstell

I’m with Tim Wren et al on this one. A friend used an unvented shipping container to store his wood cab TT truck in south central Texas. On our 110* days it has to be 150* inside that steel box. Anyway the wood spokes and cab became ultra brittle and the paint on the fenders/hood curled up.

My well wishes to all my Forum Friends - especially Harvey - for a Healthy, Happy and Prosperous New Year !!………….
the wife and I expect to go thru 2 bottles tonight….
Metamucil and Ensure

Just when I thought I’d seen it all

…..TWO adults on the hood

Thanks for the pictures Tom….
