1913 First Start and Drive

Post by GEmering » Wed Aug 04, 2021 4:20 pm

Thrilled to hear the engine run for the first time in many years.
Even happier to take a short ride.
Still much work to do but I see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I have new bows to go into the restored sockets and a new top ready to install.
Paint, new wheels and tires, and other work to follow.

Thank you to Doug Kepler and all of my Model T brothers at the North Jersey Tinker Ts.
You guys are the best!
Gene

1/2 way through the first video, I was hollering "lean it out!!" and apparently someone heard me... :lol:

Tim,
What’s better than a ride in the T and some ice-cream?
A little slice of heaven!

Congratulations! It was great to see some of the familiar Tinker T faces! I have such fond memories of a lot of years in that club. Thanks for posting.

Way to go Gene! I am glad you got that 13 and got it running. I remember when you were on the fence about buying it and happy to see and hear you enjoy it now. Thanks for posting the video for the rest of us to enjoy with you.
