Geez... I though the end was near. The day the earth stood still. Armageddon outa here! Will the magneto still work after the EMP flash? I know that all the pacman games will be neutralized. Can we trade tokens for food???

Just keep plugging away guys. The lights turned out swell. Thanks Bernard! Easter egg paintjob from spray cans is good, and LD Becker has shipped my starter back this morning. The nose was too long and that threw off the internal thrust on the shaft... no questions asked! Ill be buying a gear driven alternator from him.
Lifes good in Two Rivers! ws

Most people don't even know that Minneapois Moline made cars.

Lookin good Bill. You've come a long way on that speedster this winter.

I've always thought if someone doesn't care for a color choice they can change it when they buy it. :-)

Minneapois Moline must be a Quad Cities miniature... actually the bomber came from DuBuque, Ia.
The color thing has always amazed me; theres pros and cons. Black is just fine, but todays style trends for womens clothing is black, or black and black, or black and black with a white shirt... Personally the monochromatic look bores the pants off of me. Even my 26 coupe was dark blue with black fenders. Gimme June Cleaver in a smart flower print dress with heels and gloves going to the store and youve got my attention
;-))
Some one here made a comment a while back about the easter egg colors which I took with a grain of salt. I like the yellow, as my grandad had DEEEEP roots with Caterpillar Tractor. If any of you historians ever remember Joe E. Brown in a flick called Alexander Botts, that was a story about B.C. Patten that was originally published in the Saturday Evening Post in 1928. That was my moms' dad. Anyway.... ws

Mellow yellow . . . should have said sumthin' Bill . . . could have added a can of black Rustoleum for free. But aside from the pollinator livery I like it! At least you're keepin' the spirit alive of a T being a low budget car for us peoples who have to work for a living!

Looking good to me! I like black, but not as the primary color on speedsters.
Drive carefully, and enjoy, W2

Alexander Botts was my hero growing up... Loved those Earthworm Tractors! When the Saturday Evening Post arrived I was on it like a frog on a June bug.

I like the color and the looks of your rig.
