Tim Pearson's 27 Roadster, Dodge that followed me home from my first T garage tour several years ago, 1913 Touring (friend from work), 1931 Model A pickup, my original 26 Touring

Did you buy Tim's roadster or is it just there in your garage? As you know, that car came from me, restoration by Ed Heintz in Livingston, Montana from a very nice original. Body and paint by Livingston Body Shop in the 70's. The engine was done by John Miller in Helena at Montana Motors in the 70's. I bought it at Ed's estate auction. He was a fine guy, had a dozen T's, I think Jonathon Bodine has one of the cars, he was Ed's best friend. I still like the color I painted those wheels, they were a very pale yellow with blackwall tires, I painted them Turquoise and put the new Firestone's on it after I painted the wheels. It had very few miles on it when I bought it, it shuddered and shimmied all over the road, I drove it home from Livingston with my hands tight on the wheel and my foot on the brake. When I got home I pulled the wishbone nuts off and the wishbone holes were wallowed out a quarter of an inch. I replaced the wishbone and it drove like a new T. I had for about three years, liked it very well. Tim has re-done a lot of things that were not so good on it. It was a fine car last time I saw it.

"Derek man, why's your T stuck back in the corner?"

Seth, the TT is currently 3rd on the priority list. It needs very little to run, but needs quite a bit to be safe... tires, wheels, steering, brakes, etc.

Second on the list is my '25 Touring (not shown) which needs a valve job and new tires. The Chevelle on the lift is top priority right now.

Well, I'll try to post a pic of my house garage, taken last winter just after I acquired the '26 TT firetruck. In the background to the left of the truck is the '20 Runabout, and the '15 Touring. It stays warm in this garage all winter compared to the pole barn, so the "pets" get to stay in! The firetruck will stay out this year, as now the 1912 Roadster Pickup gets the warm quarters.

Add me to the list of car lifts....a necessity for these arthritic joints to be working under these cars. Don't know why I didn't put one in long ago. But, don't know why I didn't start collecting Model T's long ago either!!!

Space seems to fill up quickly. This is my bldg in SC. It has a concrete floor working area and gravel on the parking area.



In the foreground is the pic of the rear section of my 15 touring I took last year and happened to get other things in the background: from rt to lft is the sideplanks of my TT, below that is the red hood of a 23 speedster over the sissy bar and windshield of a 76 Harley, burgundy 29 Chevy, yellow speedster,and my hack. The below pic shows my lathe under the green tarp as it is in use every day-- my small refridgerator sits on the bed of it!

You can't see much in these two photos but there are seven motorcycles stuffed in there besides the Speedster project. So what? Some of you with five or six T's may ask. Well it's only a 2.5 car converted garage.

Everything's on wheels and sometimes it requires more time to move things out of the way than the few minutes I might require to get to the lathe or a planishing hammer but it's what I have to work with for now.

Has anyone noticed that all of these garages have one thing in common (and not just Model T's)? It's that they're almost all crammed full!!!!

Questions for Steve - where are the Packard and TT parked? Just wondering...

Keith, the Packard and the TT project are out in the barn, along with the '26 roadster/pickup project, the 1945 Allis B used for mowing, and a 1948 Allis C project. The other vehicles and tractors are in different places. I think I have enough to do for a couple more lifetimes.

Mine is 50' long, and the far half of it is set up for woodworking. (My table saw's outfeed table is often covered with car parts.) :-)

gar

On the right is my recently-restored '21 Huckster, which will be at the Hillbilly Tour in a couple of weeks. And on the left, OMG!!! The beginnings of a (gasp!) Hot Rod!!

g2

Farther back under the cover is the restored '15 Coupelet chassis, patiently awaiting new body wood.

g3

The Hot Rod will at least be all Ford, with a late 40's flatmotor and all-Ford chassis components from 1950 back. The body and turtle will be restored like stock, so if someone wants to later on, he can remove them and put them on a T chassis and have a restored car. (But he might need to take some paint remover to the flames.) :-)

Whoever said you can't build too big a garage was absolutely correct. When I first built this one (1,200 Sq. ft.), I thought it was huge. It doesn't take long to fill them up, no matter how big they are.

Stan regarding the post above about my car that was sleeping over in the Brancaccio compound. That wish bone is yours! Along with the tie rod and drag link, orange paint removed and replaced with Henry's favorite color. Everything else on that front end is new to the car right down to the powder coated front spring.
The car temporarily has a 20 engine & trans in it that was my first build. A rush assembly I must add after joining the "two piece crank club" with the original a week or so before the Pincher Creek tour. Build was accomplished with input from local club members and information gleaned from many sources including this forum. The original block has been re machined and has a new crank in it, will back in the car this winter. It is a fun car and through it I have learned a lot and continue to learn and learn.
The car Judy and I will be going to Eureka Springs next week for the tour.

Daryl- I like what is in your garage! BTW - Sorry about your dad. love the alternator he shipped me in June. Great guy to deal with!

Hi Tim, I replaced the whole front end under that car with the one from my speedster because the speedster drove so well with that axle and spring. The reason I pulled the one that came with it was that the threads on the perch were buggered up from the wishbone banging around. I was always going to change them out again but never did. You've done a great job with the car and I am glad you and Judy have been able to have so much fun with it. You needed it worse than I did at the time. Have a good trip to Eureka Springs. Say Howdy to Walker but say it real slow. He can't listen any faster than he talks.

Whilst I'll agree it would be grand indeed to have gaboons of space like that of all these fine big garages...but then you would have to have the space to put one of those big garages also. I've got a simple 2 car attached garage in a small residential community, half stows the T the other half is my workshop. I've reworked my work bench to fit a spoke press, seat spring press, drill press, scroll saw and jewelers lathe, they all switch out easily and are stowed under the bench, nothing fancy, just the essentials.



The different fixtures mount in holes under the blue towel. I put plastic plugs in the holes when I'm not using them (like now, I'm working on a friends hall clock). And my recent purchases for today's swapmeet in Chatsworth...rear curtain frames and glass and they were cheap too, woohoo!


And of course I've got every tool I need right handy. :-)

Nice shop, nice Model "T's, and nice pictures. And to me, that 1928 South Bend lathe with overhead flat belt/pulley system is a nice "period" compliment restoration to the Model "T's!

Not sure just where you have your machine shop set up, and it's obvious that you have a nice big roomy shop, but that third photo shows that for guys like me that don't have a lot of room, a nice little machine shop could be set up inside of a 40 ft. intermodal shipping container. You can purchase those containers (used) pretty cheap too! Just a thought,.....harold

Nice shop, nice Model "T's and nice photos! I think that 1928 South Bend lathe set-up is a nice "compliment restoration" to your Model "T's Pat.

You know, it's obvious that you have a nice big roomy shop, however, that third photo gives me an idea. I think for guys like me that don't have a nice big shop building like yours, a guy could set up a nice little compact machine shop inside of a used 40 ft. intermodal container. You can buy those used containers that have been taken out of service pretty cheap, and they're still very strong and weather tight. Not sure, but being they're not considered a permanent building, might be a way to beat the real estate/property tax thing too! Just a thought,......harold

The machine shop is a part of a 30'x20' extension on the side of the 40'x60' main shop. If you look behind the TT you can see 1911 Hendy lathe with a 10' bed. It has newly scraped ways but right now it's a giant jig saw puzzle. I'll attach a better picture of the South Bend. In the picture I'm making a new roller for my round baler. The SB is a joy to run.

I can't claim this garage - dad built it and I filled it up. It's 32x64 with an insulated 14x24 door. Soon after the garage was finished, dad bought a Backyard Buddy car lift. I can use the lift to raise a T and then move it on to a shelf made with 6x6 posts. This way I have two story parking for 6 vehicles; two T's on the shelf and one car on the lift above 3 vehicles down below.



This photo is from a couple weekends ago when I was doing some organizing. That's what I call it when I try to move thing around and fit more junk inside. At the back of the shelf is my '24 roadster project (hard to see). My T truck parks in front of that, just behind the lift. The car at the back of the garage is a '29 REO Flying Cloud Coupe that my grandpa bought in 1955. It has a rebuilt engine and new body wood. Dad and I just have to get it back together. Grandpa gave it to me last year after deciding he didn't want to work on it any more. Half of the top shelf in the back of the garage is REO parts, the other half has some of my T parts on it. Above the REO, on yet another shelf, is a '24 touring body with some T parts inside.

You can NEVER have too much garage space.

David,

great picture. Pretty cool that your garage has 3 Mercers in it.

I'm jealous :-)

That's a cool boring bar setup. Is that a Van Norman 777 on the floor? Looks like it. I dunno what the one on the table is either, looks like it's for big cylinders. I have lot of tools but my shop is such a mess I'm embarrassed to show a picture of it after seeing these spiffy ones.
