Model T University

Post by mike zahorik » Thu Feb 06, 2020 1:06 pm

The Dairyland Tin Lizzies held their annual Model T University in West Bend over the last weekend. The Greater Milwaukee Model T Club was invited. The morning had a swap meet, followed by lunch at Noon and then a few featured speakers during the afternoon. He heard Jim Zangel speak on charging the magneto in and out of the car, plus a few items regarding the Model T ignition. Then Dave DeYoung spoke on the Model T Generator. We heard about dis assembly, check out, setup and use of the generator.

Hi Mike, Thank you for posting these pictures.
BTW, the speaker identified as Jim Zangel is not correct & his name is Greg Zangl. It looks like a good time was had by all, sorry I missed it.

Mike thanks for posting the great pictures, I'm glad you had a good time,
Sorry Dan, the pan jig was not for sale. Jim Rodell Sr brought it as a working display. We straightened 3 pans that day, it amazes me how stout those pans are.
Keith, you missed a great lunch, chili and French onion soup with plenty of desserts,
It was a good day of bench racing and swapping ideas. I met a lot of new people. We're already working on ideas for next year.

Billy..... You're making me hungry!!! Friends, you must know that when Billy's in charge, the lunch will always be good! :)

Ya, I know it would be a good time, but I got my dates mixed up and couldn't be there as a result. Bummer.

Jim Hess also did a presentation on rebuilding and aligning the front axle.

Jim Rodell Sr. had some literature on display. I found this interesting because I have a Kunkle Heater grate in my floorboard.
