Smith Brothers makes 1/4 " pushrods to your length specifications. They run $12-$15 a piece. I'm sure there are others that make them. If your building a hot rod you may want to put some thought into an engine. If your looking for more power going up hills and to help with general driving I would th...

I have made several 3000 plus mile trips with a 1922 coupe on an open trailer. I do not have a sun visor on mine. It's not going to win a Stynoski award either. The first time I wrapped it up like Christmas package which worked fine. The second and longer trip I bought a 1/2 sheet of 1/4" plywood fr...

Rich, Thank you. What a great addition from a true master.

Still looking

Don it is original paint and I am thinking about leaving it. The wood is pretty good.The passenger side door does not fit quit right and has bent hinge. Once it get's sorted out a little on what needs to be done I'll decide on which way I'm going with the paint. John, it's titled as a 19 but I think...

Few more pictures

This is what I think of when someone says they have a barn find. There are two Model T's in building. It was a fun day last summer digging out both cars. It was the most mouse, bird and pack rat poop I have seen in years. Ton of parts, I number of which I still need to pick up. The car was disassemb...

Nick has won the Montana 500 3 times, came in Second 2 or 3 times. He is a good machinist and builds his own engines. He has done that for many years. This should be a great motor.

Don thank you for the info. John S sent you an email through the forum.

Dave, thank you for taking a look. I appreciate that. Will thank you for the great picture.

Tim, Joe and Hank thank you for your help. I was told one time that because of the tight fit getting in and out of the front of a centerdoor as Ma and Pa got older and put on more weight the passengers seat went the door and mom sat in the back seat and dad was able to get behind the steering wheel....

Dave, Thank you I look forward to seeing them.

Thanks guys I appreciate all this help. Don pictures of the legs would be great if you have time. Do you know if the front legs are just screwed to a wood seat base or are they part of the frame?
Thank you,
John

Below are some pictures of a passenger seat from Don Booth's 1923 Centerdoor. I should have done this when I posted the ad. I don't know what, if any changes were made between 1915 and 1923. I could not find any pictures of a seat frame without upholstery. The folding single leg at the rear of the s...

There must be one of these seats kicking around somewhere?

Still looking!!!

Hi, this was great. I just caught the last 15-20 minutes because of other Easter things. I did my first zoom meeting last Friday and it was pretty amazing. The potential for this is huge.

It's a Model C

I would like to buy a front, passenger side seat for a 1923 Centerdoor.

The picture Steve posted above, Bruce being the first picture. On the next one Stan listed all but one, In order left to right me, Stan Howe, Mike Walker, Past President Dan Condor, Jack Daron and George House. Dan Condor sold more stuff for me at Chickasha than I ever did. He is a great guy and I m...

So in looking at the chart that Tim posted is that saying that Red Brass and Phospher Bronze would be good choices for pins? I ask because I have 16 valve Roof heads that uses stock T valves but have heavier valve springs and a very high lift cams. I have not run these engines yet and have always th...

Still looking.

Hi Joe, Thank you. I really would like to find a complete seat but I will keep this in mind.
Thanks,
John

I need a front passengers seat for a Centerdoor. I will be at Chickasha.

Thank you!

Mack you are correct on he holes. I guess I'm not sure both sides are the same but just assumed Henry would do it that way because it's one less part.

Hi Bob, Thank you but I don't think that is the one I need unless my other fender has one that is not correct. I'm looking for 3 hole on the fender 2 on the apron and that is what the fender was drilled for. I don't think the repops look correct or I would go that route. This isn't a show car but I ...

Does any one have a spare bracket that fastens the the rear fender to the splash apron for my 15 roadster that they would sell?
Thanks,
John

Hi Don, sent you an email. I would love to purchase those. I have NOS shocks but not the axle mounting hardware.

FM 1 & 2
Looking forward to seeing everyone and all their treasures.

Scott I would like to purchase one also.
Thank you,
John

Bob your suspicions were correct. Sorry for the poor picture that posted upside down. It does right itself when clicked on. I started to take it out in the sunlight but after about 15 feet my back said something different.

I have no idea why the pictures are upside down but when you click on the they do come up correct.

Set of 4, 21" Chevrolet Disc wheels with Ford hubs. They need new rims. I do have lugs for the one wheel that is missing them.$500.00 plus shipping or
I can bring them to Chickasha.
Call For O Six Five Three Nine 6004 or email rustaddict (at) gmail.com

Donnie, sent email to you earlier today.

It is definitely a "C". No bump out on drivers side and oblong or rounded rectangle center port. As mentioned before the rockers are not correct, but that is not uncommon.

If you have one and just don't want to go through the hassle of shipping I can could pick it up at Chickasha!!

WTB: I'm looking for a front passenger seat for a 1919 Centerdoor. Upholstery is not important, but the seat must be complete and in good shape.
Please call or email because I don't get to look here on a regular basis.
Thank you,
John

Larry was a great guy. He was an avid researcher on Speedsters and the early days of racing along with many other things. He restored two Paco speedsters that are great works of preservation. Larry spent hours helping me do some research on a speedster body, loaned me some stuff that was very rare w...

If you get a call from 707-210-2457 wanting to sell you the parts your looking for ask for pictures. I believe he was trying to scam me. Pretty smooth operator, nice guy but when I said I would only overnight or mail payment the conversation ended with he would get back to me. We had a 1/2 dozen pho...

Sorry RV, he needs everything, wood, Irons and sockets.

Looking for 1914 carbide generater. The base is still on the running board but not the rest. Would consider parts or complete generater. Please call or email as I'm not on the forum much. Four zero six 539 six oo four or rustaddict1 at gmail.com, pm ok also. Thank you.

I'm looking for a complete set of 14 touring top bows in nice condition for a friend who doesn't use email or a computor. He just bought an unrestored car with original paint that is mostly correct. A few small things need to be fixed, not pristine but I think it's good enough that he is just going ...

Joe sorry I didn't find any original stand in the parts I just got. RAJO shafts, rockers, bolts, a set of machined blocks that are stands but no originals.

Joe if you can't get that fixed I may have one and can check tomorrow, later afternoon.

I don't know why the pictures post upside down, but if you click on them to enlarge, they go right side up.

Hi Bob, the wheels I have are not Universal, Pasco or Dayton, not sure what they are. The holes looks like they my have been enlarged, a little crudely, but not wallowed out. It is very close to the six bolt pattern of a T wood wheel. They were on a very old Model T Speedster. I have two and would p...

Trying to ID this touring car body and and the approximate year.

Hi Bob,
I believe I have one. I will look this evening.

Willie was a great guy and I missed not seeing him the last couple of years at Chickasha. We would go round and round on stuff and sometimes, eventually, even would work out some kind of deal.
Sympathies to the family.

Plan on bringing another set of good Disteel Disc wheels(last set I have for sale), set of Dayton wheels, two piece drive shaft if I can find it, an aluminum Warford or two, Whippet radiator shell. Will be in FM 1 & 2 between North and South Buildings in the paved parking lot.

We're at 4 below but a nice sunshiney day for a ride. My wife didn't think it was all that nice out and didn't come along, but my dog Buck was fine with it.

I had both John And Mark McLaren do sets for me. John Is retired and I'm not sure Mark does them anymore. Mike Lebsack in Iowa might be able to do them. It is just a standard Ford 30x3 1/2 rim which can be bought from Mark McLaren

The wheels that were on eBay for $800 were not Disteel. I think they might be Buffalo, but were missing rims and appeared to have some other issues. It was hard to tell from the pictures. Sets of good sets Disteels with good hubs probably bring $3000-$3500. Rebuilt sets, with new rims are probably o...

Hi Rob, Thanks this is always interesting stuff!

Don, it was reprinted in 2011 but I don't remember what day. I wanted to post it on the forum back then but was never able to resize it.

I agree with Tim, your suicide front end may truly be a suicide front end. Looks neat but I think you need some gussets or bracing of some type.

So why does the picture post sideways? When clicked on to enlarge it rights it self.
