Today I found out that my model T has a lot more power than I thought.
I needed a valve resurfacing tool so I went to a local machine shop and asked if I could rent one. The guy in charge said they don't loan or rent tools.
As I was leaving he asked what I was working on and I told him it was my (nearly) 100 year old T.
We chatted about the T some and he then offered to loan me the tool if I would pick it up Saturday and return it Monday morning !!!
Who says Model T's aren't powerful ?
I think I'll frame an 8 x 10 of Liz and give it to him when I return his tool.
Hoping your day was as good as mine!
schuh
It is amazing the power of just talking to folks. We seem to have forgotten how to communicate with our own race. I'm glad you found a tool to fix your Ford.
Great Idea on the 8x10 One better,take him for a ride one day,take his picture with the car.
Never know when you need a machine shop.
I go for the ride idea.. A picture of your drive would top it off.

Hey! The ride is a great idea guys. I will do it.
But do like Gene & Fred suggest, sure offer him a short ride but give him a picture of himself standing by or sitting in the car that he can hang in his shop for all to see.
