We are looking forward to better touring weather like this. Maybe it's too soon to think about.

Posted: **Thu Jan 23, 2020 10:56 am**

Not too soon at all.

When it's freezing out I remember those summer after-dinner country drives and look forward to the return of friendly weather.

Posted: **Thu Jan 23, 2020 12:38 pm**

Weather is a state of mind to a degree. January thaw now feels like a heat wave compared to two weeks ago. I’d get Lizzie out for a spin, but recent weather deposited a four foot drift up against the shop door and I’m too lazy to shovel out - so I guess I’ll just dream of summertime with the rest of you !

Posted: **Thu Jan 23, 2020 2:18 pm**

I will cheat and add 4 photos! My excuse is my youngest daughter's wedding … ah, what a great day in wonderful weather.
Thanks to Paul and Eric for their family's 19 Center Door, and Ray for the 23 Tourer. They were topped off with my 24 Morris (a hot summer day but side curtains a 'must' to "protect the hair"

.

Posted: **Thu Jan 23, 2020 2:52 pm**

Adrian, I love that Morris of yours!

Posted: **Thu Jan 23, 2020 4:11 pm**

Some cool cars. What a great occasion to use them.
Our four foot drift has shrunk a little with the warmer days but still is more than I want to shovel. The Tudor would be nice for the Grand-kid visits.

What a luxury to have an outdoor car. I can park the Coupe in the low spots.

The Anchorage, Alaska photo is on a East-West street facing the mountains to the East in the early afternoon. Cannot locate the buildings downtown, guessing 4th Street.

Couldnt pass up a 45 degree sunset drive.

Joy took these on our way to breakfast this morning.

Photos I took at the Speedway Motors Museum of American Speed that remind me of Rich Eagle paintings!

Thanks Aleesa. Those are some wonderful colors. The third photo has a Lincoln Shock Absorber ad which is interesting in light of the front axle post this weekend..

Love the wavy reflections around the script Ford at the top of the radiator and how the headlamp reflected in the side of the brass radiator has sharper focus than the actual lamp.

Posted: **Mon Feb 10, 2020 1:20 pm**

It is easy to get lost in the colors and shapes in brass and nickle, let alone chrome.

The sun came out today with the promise that Spring is on the way.

Posted: **Mon Feb 17, 2020 2:51 pm**

Maybe this photo should be on the "Memories" thread. It was 1985 and I had just finished my 1915 Runabout for the HCCA Tour in McCall, ID. Joy took this photo of her Sister Kerry, Oliver, Sally and me. The stuffed eagle and my 16mm camera were our comfort toys. We had just finished a crash 12 month restoration to make it on the tour. I had been gathering parts for 12 years. Rich Bingham who contributes to the forum had helped haul the original basket case home from Montana in the 70s. This was my first Brass 'T' and a great step forward for me. Kerry and Joy took turns riding with the two kids in the Runabout. It was a little tight. Oliver gave up the plastic mustache for real whiskers some time ago. Finding these things in the old photo album is very rewarding these days.

Winter is back in town! Just some extra parts from my frame swap.

Posted: **Wed Feb 26, 2020 9:57 pm**

This is from a steam show at Five Points (Perrysburg) Ohio about 8 years ago. The truck and thresher belonged to one friend and the Case L belonged to another. We threshed a whole wagon load in about 10-12 minutes. It was a lot of fun. But I'm glad we were just doing it for fun.

Posted: **Wed Feb 26, 2020 11:45 pm**

Good grief! You folks catch some wonderful moments!

And another one from Fort Edmonton Park, currently under revamping (the Park, not the car) showing the old and the more modern mode of transport.

We took a break from the snow to attend a VMCCA meeting in Las Vegas. Our chauffeur to the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area drove a 1954 Packard Caribbean. What a ride?

We were also treated to Richie Clyne's auto collection. More than a dozen firetrucks and some Dusenbergs are on display there at the present.

Posted: **Fri Mar 13, 2020 3:36 pm**

We were asked to supply cars for a photo shoot. Only two cars showed up.

I was happy to see these youngsters enjoying the early day theme. They enjoyed both cars and the contrast.

Posted: **Sat Mar 14, 2020 3:47 pm**

Another location chosen for the shoot downtown.

Posted: **Sat Mar 14, 2020 6:48 pm**

Posted: **Sat Mar 14, 2020 7:09 pm**

Very nice Rich. The contrast is great. Hope the nice weather will bring more photo's of the day.

Posted: **Sat Mar 14, 2020 7:35 pm**

That Oilzum logo is sooooo cool! Is screams '10s and '20s.
Speaking of contrast, here is today's weather compared with Tursday's.

Posted: **Sat Mar 14, 2020 7:55 pm**

Rich Those weather photos are GREAT! Could be next years Christmas photos or card!

Lupines and aspens on a sunny summer day! Love it.

Part of my affection for the Rusty Coupe is the dry mat finish of the 98 year old metal. It was a treat today to notice the nice, reflective gloss that the sleet has given it this morning. I can imagine how new paint might look but the dents and wrinkles aren't ready for that yet.

Sorry Amma, no Lupines or aspens today.

Posted: **Thu Mar 26, 2020 1:46 pm**

I noticed this morning I need a new tire before I drive this.

Posted: **Fri Mar 27, 2020 11:28 am**

Too late for a retread ??

Posted: **Fri Mar 27, 2020 11:43 am**

That’s one for the re-cord !

Posted: **Fri Mar 27, 2020 3:16 pm**

This is the other front wheel. It has somewhat survived the gobby welds and bright paint. The pink was probably a red that fadded. I have only seen one Pink model T. It was scary fast!

Either the contrasts in colors or the sunshine made me feel better.
Rich

Posted: **Fri Mar 27, 2020 6:15 pm**

The tire in the photo looks like a possum retread!

Is it possible?

Posted: **Fri Mar 27, 2020 6:35 pm**

Yes, this it what it looked like before retreading.

Posted: **Fri Mar 27, 2020 7:26 pm**

Now thats a real flat!

Posted: **Wed Apr 08, 2020 12:38 pm**

Flat is right. They charge at the dump for tires. They will take care of themselves given enough time.

Some coils can be more challenging that others.

Posted: **Wed Apr 08, 2020 10:09 pm**

Rich, you could always cap that tire.

Posted: **Sat Apr 11, 2020 4:12 pm**

I guess I could cap it. It's pretty much all there.

I thought this was pretty as a picture too.

Posted: **Sat Apr 11, 2020 8:54 pm**

Here’s a photo of our ’25 coupé. It’s just an honest old T Model. The photo was taken last October on the road back to our house. I love the sepia tone as it imparts a flavor of the old to the new.

Posted: **Sun Apr 12, 2020 10:29 am**

I had my favorite picture of my T painted. I really like this piece.

Posted: **Mon Apr 13, 2020 1:23 pm**

Did you ever feel like a little piece of sage brush clinging to a Model T frame?

OK, maybe I've been cooped up too long.
Rich

Posted: **Tue Apr 14, 2020 11:51 am**

A morning, foggy picture of my "T" barn. Thanks to Steve Jelf for helping me figure this out.

Burley 61 miles, Twin Falls 103.
1915 Model T ? Somewhere west of American Falls, Idaho, date unknown.

Towns were farther apart in Model T days. Great old photo Rich.

I always remember this one. A happy tourist.

Posted: **Thu Apr 23, 2020 1:34 pm**

We don't often get a chance to share some time and the cars with young folks like this. Yet they do get caught up in the whole idea of visiting the old days. They are usually both interested and interesting. It's always a treat to get to know them more that we do in passing them on the street or in the Mall.
A couple more:

Thanks for mentioning it John.

I couldn't capture that again if I tried.

Posted: **Sun May 03, 2020 4:10 pm**

Why would they do this to a running board?

Posted: **Wed May 06, 2020 11:57 pm**

Nothing like a T with a nice sunset.

Posted: **Thu May 07, 2020 2:57 pm**

That is a Super photo John. How many times have we been there without a camera?

Some of my favorite colors again.

This was a pair of carbide lights, forks and connecting arm for my '23 Bus. I had looked long and hard for them and found them in Loveland, CO. They cleaned up nicely.

Posted: **Thu May 07, 2020 3:55 pm**

Came out of the house today and saw this plant blooming. One of the first pictures I took just caught the T in the corner. So I moved around to make it the unfocused, focal point.

Posted: **Fri May 22, 2020 10:03 am**

Nice photos, Love the speedster body. thanks

Posted: **Fri May 22, 2020 1:00 pm**

And then a friend of mine modified it.

Hey Rich,

Where did you find the Speedster body? I will be interesting seriously.

Posted: **Fri May 22, 2020 5:10 pm**

Hi Mario. The speedster is gone. We had some great hunting grounds but most are neighborhoods now.

Could not resist a photo on the way home from town this morning.

Posted: **Sat May 30, 2020 4:33 pm**

That's beautiful Dallas. A colorful setting and one of my favorite Ts.

Posted: **Sun May 31, 2020 12:30 pm**

It doesn't take much to amuse me. My air nozzle blew these two items out from between the crankcase and arm yesterday. Though I believe I have used this crankcase on various vehicles since 1970 I don't think I placed them there. I have lost coil box screws before but not while in the car. The insulator piece suggests a horrible accident. That is a location where things often hide. The monotony of cleaning leads my imagination to stories of what leads to these things. These may have been caked in hardened grease for years before fresh, leaking oil soften it enough for these to reemerge.

Posted: **Wed Jun 03, 2020 11:39 am**

I had to take pictures of this today.

Every time I see Norm he says he's ready to come get this and get it running. Inertia is tough to overcome.

Posted: **Wed Jun 03, 2020 4:39 pm**

Since March 15 I grew my own face covering. Today I went to the dentist and decided to remove it.

Posted: **Fri Jun 05, 2020 11:42 am**

Thought Rich Eagle might like this one,

Posted: **Fri Jun 05, 2020 12:19 pm**

I do like that Billy. Quick fixes can be very charming. I worked with an engineer whose lost a screw to his glasses hinge and the side arm fell off. His fix was suspending that side from a rubber band attached to a carefully placed band-aid on his forehead. He walked around like that all day.
Thanks for the photo.

Hey Rich... That is (or was... no, still is) one sharp speedster body... really like those lines, from the overshot tail to the sweeping cockpit cutouts... wonder what ever happened to it, hopefully someone grabbed and restored it, and it didn't end up in that great smelting furnace in the sky...

Posted: **Tue Jun 16, 2020 8:56 pm**

Those are great shots Bernd. And a wonderful car.
Thanks
Susanne, I'll ask around about the Speedster. That was many years ago. With the nice bead work it probably was professionally built but who knows.
Thanks
Rich

Posted: **Fri Jun 19, 2020 12:14 pm**

I'm not sure why I save these things but it does take gas to get to the dump.

The other day I dragged out my windshield junk bucket to answer a clamp screw question. Then I spent the day heating and soaking screws trying to retrieve them from the filler blocks. None of this has any value but is still fun to look at and have around for some of us.

I don't even know why I saved the bucket.

Posted: **Fri Jul 03, 2020 7:21 pm**

Sally likes to go for a ride and a picnic on her Birthday. Today we found some fun roads.

Posted: **Sun Jul 12, 2020 8:25 am**

Where's Waldo or in this case the round head screw?

It's just too nice out not to work outside but when I drop small stuff in the gravel it takes forever to find it.
Sometimes we just don't learn.

Posted: **Sun Jul 12, 2020 8:59 am**

Rich, its next to that one stone!

Posted: **Sun Jul 12, 2020 12:18 pm**

I liked that MUCH more than the current "Find the M in the W's" thing going around... (And yes, I found it after enlarging the picture - and spending 10 minutes!) At least it hadn't worked its way between the rocks... yet...

THIS was one of the reasons I decided to put wood between the pea gravel and the car. Of course, now there's a nice bouncy surface to launch stuff across the parking area, under the snowblower, and into the woodpile...

Worse yet are the little brass screws - at least the steel ones can be retrieved (usually) with a magnet...
