Thanks for posting these links. The catalogs are very interesting. What I like is when you click on the catalog it opens and you can read the text and see what was popular then or read about your car. The tools in the Western Auto catalog are great to see.

I was always told that motorcycle oil was used because it contained zinc and that zinc was a necessary additive to aid valve seats that were not replaced with hardened steel.

The Model T went thru some very tough times and roads and once the car was sold the owner could have replaced broken or damaged floor boards at home from creates. How many floorboards were replaced due to catching fire from the exhaust pipe? Another possibility is that the floorboard that had "Ship ...

The "Fling Team" tried to recruit new members on occasion but the ad agency they hired to entice people to join was a big mistake as their ad campaign had the main headline as "Join Our Team and Soil yourself" and the other one was "Soil Yourself for Fun and Profit" .

Greetings Jonah, Welcome to the wonderful world of Model T's. I have read the many posts you have written since you purchased your 1926 Touring and your excitement and enthusiasm is wonderful and I wish you all the best with your restoration project but let me offer some unsolicited advice. I see yo...

Don, This is a good thread that shows just because the paint looks good doesn't mean the car is OK. These old cars need to be inspected down to the wood core to be sure that they are safe. Thanks for sharing and showing us what can be hidden underneath shiny metal. Now that you're done sharing the p...

Thanks for posting these pictures. I love to look at them.
I too like the first picture of the dairy trucks ... I think the drivers are waiting for the cows to come in from the field.

Very interesting history of the Ford Motor Company and very informative . Please be sure to post part two.

perry kete

I watched the three videos that I could find on it and it mostly looks like a cosmetic restore job. They didn't do any disassembly they just painted clear over the rust with a brush and no mechanical work yet.

perry kete

OH BOY! I get to hassle you all winter long again!

Keep posting pictures so I can keep posting smart a$$ remarks!

Well this being number 5 maybe you'll get it right one of these times

You better stock up on M&M's and Twinkies before the snow flies

Another great photo Herb.
I often look at these trucks that were loaded with furniture and wonder if the people are just moving local or did they have to pack up and head out in search of work and a better life.

Sometimes the problem is lack of gas flow from the sediment bulb and can be caused by two issues. 1) Screen is dirty and plugged up . 2) The valve hole is not in line with the fuel line when it is open. Some of the handle holes were not drilled in the correct position. The car will run fine at lower...

If you read my post I never said it couldn't be done I just showed the original radiator and listed MOST of the modifications that would be needed to make it work. There are many more modifications like mounting etc that need to be incorporated

perry kete

They are not riveted in the light ring pushes in and turns to release the lens and service the bulbs.

perry kete

The inlet and outlet tubes as well as the fill cap are in need of modification in order to work in a stock Model T. Also the hood rod would need to be braised on

Very interesting video and a lost art like so many others. OSHA would have a field day at that place. The one fellow would be 107 years old this year.

Don't forget about Miss Penelope who would contribute her recipes to the "Worm Weekly" and the most beloved and copied recipe was Worm alamode pie! and the second most popular was worm soup. I can't locate my copy of the cook book that had the pictures in it so I hope someone can share theirs.

Some fellas use a product called "Quick Polly" if I am correct. It is an epoxy that fills the gaps and makes wood strong again. In past posts they talk about it.

Years ago when I worked in a tire shop we used rubber cement, spread it around the patch area and lit it. We would let it burn for a short time then blow it out but while it was still hot we would apply the patch and clamp it tight.
