Here is the link to the thread started on this car from the old forum: http://www.mtfca.com/discus/messages/82 ... 1545955568
Vrana Body Shop in West Bend (Barton) WI did the body work on this car. They did a wonderful job! So impressed! Those guys work on at least 400 vintage cars in a spring and summer season from body work, to electrical, wheel alignments and engine work. Some days I walked into the shop and it was like being at a car show! Anyway, I hope you enjoy the pictures. Just need to put the top on....I did the seats myself, but the top is a WHOLE different beast!

Very nice looking model T!
I also like the headlamp lenses. Cannot be certain from the photo, however those look like Macbeth lenses to me. The Ford version was plain glass with the green "eyebrow" pointing down in the center.
Our wonderful "Nor-Cal Jay" started a great thread on the Macbeth (notice the spelling at the bottom of the ads) in 2017.

Re: Almost done with the 1920 touring
You are correct! They are Macbeth and thanks for the link! I will be putting large googly eyes under them and a smiley face wired to the radiator. I have young daughters and thought it would be fun BUT only for a parade or specific show NOT all the time. I have to leave the old girl have some dignity!
By the way, it runs wonderful now that I took the Stromberg OF off and put on the NH.....but that is going to be a whole other post!

Re: Almost done with the 1920 touring
Beautiful car Randy and the Macbeth lenses look great also. My Western Auto Supply catalogs advertise those accessory lenses from at least 1921 though 1924.
Regarding the Ford factory green-visored lenses, page 320 of Bruce McCalley’s Encyclopedia says those lenses were used from late 1920 into early 1921. As Wayne mentioned the shape of the visor on these lenses differed from the Macbeth.
