Hey Guys
I was able to get myself behind the wheel of a 1915 Touring car thanks to a member on hear and it was just a bit to tight for my 6'3'' frame. Do any years/styles have more driver leg room for us tall guys? I know my 29 Phaeton has thinner seat back springs, I do not have a ton of room in the 29 but it's comfortable for me to drive.....can...

While on tour, it would be nice to have a descent set of walkie talkies to be able to communicate from car to car. While a cell phone works OK, it would be nice to be able to announce Bear in the road ahead, so everyone would know it without having to call cell phones. And yes we had a bear in the road on Saturday while traveling on the Little...

I would hope this thread will aid in restoring or maintaining Martin-Parry vehicles.
Aftermarket bodies , particularly for Ford chassis were very prevalent and popular almost from the start. Specialty body companies offered delivery bodies starting with the 1903 model A Ford. Most if not all were pretty small concerns, located in busy urban...

Things have been working good with adjustments to the new bands and proper link angle, very little oil weeping around the hogs head and pedal shafts with the new gaskets.

So after another good long ride breaking in the new bands I went around and tightened the split rims to the wheels and noticed the right rear drum was a lot hotter than the left...

I'm planning to mount a Sparton horn on the long radiator to firewall rod over the engine on my 26 Touring. Some said this may not be good for the radiator. I have a Berg's radiator and will mount horn as close to the firewall as I can. Has anyone ever had any issues when you mounted a horn in this manner? Not speculation but had something bad...

I’m new to T’s. Have seen pictures of modern distributors being used on model T engines instead of the original timers. What’s the purpose of purpose doing so and is the magneto sill available to use. I know these are really dumb questions but I will be taking delivery of a 26 coupe this summer that has the distributor set up. This is my 1st T.

I have '26 headlights. Switching from Bright to Dim makes no difference in light output or beam focus. Bulbs are Mazda 1000 32 C with two identical filaments right close together. *Is Bright supposed to be both filaments on, and Dim supposed to be one filament on?* The lights together pull about 7 amps according to the dash ammeter. Going down the...

I topped off the tires on the TT a week ago( about 5 lb each. 1st time I have had to add air since I put it back on the road a couple years ago. Today I go in the shop and find the right front and left rear flat. I drove it to town last weekend. The only drive this year. I aired them up this morning and...

This is a great post from the old forum I think would interest those that have not seen it.

The Brake drum was shot, so we ordered one from J&M Machine, Oh, what a Beauty, in every way.

I started taking pictures today, and will add more as I progress, as if I wait, it will...

On my way to pick up my grandkids this morning, the engine started making a racket. Got a tow home, pulled the head, and found a chunk of metal in the #2 cylinder. Upon looking closer, there is a chunk of the #2 exhaust valve seat missing, the same size as the piece of metal I found. Is it possible to replace one valve seat with the engine in the...
