Any ideas? Maybe it's the cold.

Looks like the pedals have become rebar.

Yes, Nevin, they're frozen. They may loosen up if you apply enough heat.

Did you find it in the surf? In Mexico they use whatever is available for fishing weights. I once found a sparkplug that was caked almost beyond recognition.

As luck would have it, a guy brought his 914 with EFI problem to me to get it running. I pulled this plug out of the engine room, and asked when was the last time he changed his plugs. It took him awhile to realize it was a gag. I later gave that plug to a guy at a local auto parts to display with his collection.

I snorkeled a lot in Baja after that, and never found another.

I found this at a Vintage Car Club parts dept...at least it was outside the parts area, and they were happy to give it away for free. It made me smile, so I took it and now it holds the gate open in my driveway. Incidentally, I broke up an area of the drive and it was reinforced with broken model T crankshafts. LOL!

I would say you have "concrete" proof those pedals are stuck!

Is this proof Model T's predated human history...

Wow! Fossilized Model T parts. Who'd a thunk?

That vanadium steel is stronger than we thought.

They put the pedals to the metal....uh...concrete, that is....

Here are the timer and one spark plug from the shores of Puget Sound. A friend showed these to me today - how's that for timing. Who will be the next T'er to find a piece of the Mystery T?

There just could be a pearl inside that timer!

Definitely for a RHD Model T, rare and worth saving.

Here I am with a 105 heat index and you want me to look a picture with snow in it? That is not fair :-) Dan.

James, They are RHD but not rare here in NZ where the pic was taken...we are all RHD.

We had a mild day today, and it's getting lighter in the evenings. The snow has all gone too.

Dan, here is a pic of my little princess to cool you down.

Our high temp in Maryland yesterday was 104 degrees F.

Nevin: That is a great pic! Only problem is some one may call a foul on you. Those tire tracks or too wide to be from a T, so you are off topic. :-) Dan


Top of pagePrevious messageNext messageBottom of page Link to this message  By Nevin Gough on Tuesday, August 02, 2011 - 11:23 am:

But it's the same snow that was around the concrete encased pedals, on the same day.....so it's kind of still slightly 'on topic'.
By the way, my little girl has gone off watching childrens videos, and prefers watching my Model T rallies (tours) that are on DVD. She watches them over and over!

That's my girl!

Your just plan wrong Nevin. 112 degrees actual temp today. Hottest since 1932. Um, did me have globel warming then too? Anyway, God ought to smit you for your telling us about your snowy weather. :-) lol

They can't be from down under or they would be installed like this :
