Planting Model T seeds
I had a couple extra T blocks that weren’t being used. I wondered if I planted some seeds in the cylinders in the early spring that maybe a new Model T might sprout. All I ended up with are these dang flowers! Must have used the wrong fertilizer I guess. At least they help make the front of my shop look a little nicer and I can’t be accused of leaving junk lying around since they are now serving as planters!

Re: Planting Model T seeds
Probably needs more iron in the fertilizer and less water.
Everything works in theory.
Reality is how you determine if something works or not.

They have to be "watered" with Marvel Mystery Oil for a new T to grow in !

Re: Planting Model T seeds
Scott,
Don’t worry, if these two blocks were in your backyard they wouldn’t do you any good. The area around the valve chamber is shaped really odd. There is no way to get a valve cover to go on or bolt down. Really strange.

I assumed there was a fatal reason they were doing double duty...just musing out loud regarding where some of the better stuff ends up. Really wish I had the ability to attend some of the swaps that I read about

And I'd take you up on that offer, too, Noel! That's an easy drive from here!

I have a couple blocks I could bring to you in Fond du Lac. Only problem is I do not know if they are still good. Scott can have them for free.
