Bernd, We are excited to follow you on your journey. Not sure if you realize it, but there's a bit of history associated to your trip. This came across my Facebook feed this morning...on June 4th, 1924, "The 10,000,000th Ford Model T rolled off the assembly line. Famed Ford racing driver Frank Kulic...

Raymond They do plan on stopping at American Speed. Perhaps you could talk with them and arrange a behind the scenes tour for when they arrive. Great place. Dave, That's awesome! Yes, I'll give the museum a call and see if they have a docent that can give them a personal tour of the place if timing...

Ah, thanks gents! Very helpful info! Having never done it before, good to hear what others have experienced! Hadn't thought about needing to drive it in from the back. I'll get after it tonight!

Replaced my steering shaft on '27 Touring. New shaft came with the two smaller steering gear pins already pressed into the spider. Any tips on how to get my new long "oversteering" pin into the spider? Is it ok to tap it with a rubber mallet? Press it in with a C-clamp? Pound it with a 50lb sledge? ...

Time to completely tear-down/rebuild the steering components on my 1927 Touring. Quick question on spindle arm bushings. I have a set of T-2714 bushings. I also have a T-2718 bolt set that came with bushing. Any thoughts on which bushings would be best to use? Thinking the bushings that came with th...
