Can anyone tell me, and I know it's a bit of a sacrilegious question in regards to altering that which was... but has anyone ever converted a post '15, with '15 or pre-'15 brass radiator and lights, mirrors, trim etc.? Is it even possible as far as the fittings and hood assembly are concerned?

Fitting the brass radiator to a 1917 or later hood would be a problem, but I think most of that other stuff would be easy.

Jerry,

It is very common. I've said many times - and it has now become lexicon - there are more 1915 Model T's in the world now than Ford built originally.

Linguistic theories generally regard human languages as consisting of two parts: a lexicon, essentially a catalogue of a language's words (its wordstock); and a grammar, a system of rules which allow for the combination of those words into meaningful sentences. The lexicon is also thought to include bound morphemes, which cannot stand alone as words (such as most affixes). In some analyses, compound words and certain classes of idiomatic expressions and other collocations are also considered to be part of the lexicon. Dictionaries represent attempts at listing, in alphabetical order, the lexicon of a given language; usually, however, bound morphemes are not included.

Bud, I am exaggerating to make my point memorable! It is a literary device. Now I probably have to post the definition of literary device.......
