It is a lot easier for the guys- the women not so. Long sleeves and floor length dresses. Remember this before you commit the family- got to keep the little women happy, evolved in our hobby and riding next to us. SOMETIMES!

Don't think it is for a Model T

I use Sunbrella fabrics. They last a long time and are breathable. One can go crazy looking at all the swatches. I will try to post a picture of my car. I just put a new top on- the last Sunbrella top lasted 22 years. Another plus is that you can do sew it yourself on a good machine or use a furnitu...

Are you taking good care of my seat? I will get down to see you asap! Got to get these fires out! Thanks, Steve Straw

I always carry water for drinking and hand washing!

This motor was in a 1925 TT truck. It was in a hot fire that burned all the wood, melted the aluminum fan hub, coils, warped the frame and depressed the front spring. It came out of a Taft, California oil field. It had a very serious bed on it- the "U" bolts are huge.

1941 Model T motor- maybe! Lets see what the experts think! "41" the only cast date on the motor Not a 15,000,000 serial number No casting date on the head- only a "Y" Hog head is a 26/27 configuration for the wide brake drum; BUT, no ears to attach to the motor- never had any- not a modified castin...

You forgot to include the price!

TeveS-Nor Cal

I tried to do some Model A insurance business with J C Taylor and they will do nothing until clearance is given by somebody. She did take my name and tel. number and said they will call.

TeveS-Nor Cal

I think they are taking applications! Going to start moving parts in the next few weeks. Also may have a FAST Hill Climb to do. I think that tank is there!

SALT TRUCK has changed hands; but, it's still in the family and I can visit it. It was built 15 years ago to be used as a trash hauling truck at the Bonneville Salt Flats and I am done with that job! Might just get to be driven in the Trans Sierra 88 Rally by an all girl crew. You should see the pil...

TeveS-Nor Cal

Was the fan belt original to the car or a used swap meet "deal"? Most important, did you get your donut munchen buddy to commit?

TeveS-Nor Cal

Loose spokes?

TeveS-Nor Cal

More info on the oil filter, etc. please

TeveS-Nor Cal

That is a fantastic car! To nice for me to take out, run it hard, slightly abuse it and put it away wet! Maybe give it a once a year hosing off. Restore it? Not really worth doing in this market. Then there's always the "When are you going to paint It?" If you start following this forum a person can...

Bracket is for body mount- may or may not need it for your speedster. Beware of dips in the concrete- may look nice and level but can have dips in it.

TeveS-Nor Cal

NICE! Can I come over and use it?

TeveS-Nor Cal

I wipe mine down with alcohol- lasts for a few weeks and not slippery

TeveS-Nor Cal

A lot of the GO JOBS used early Chevy boxes

TeveS-Nor Cal

Great "fix"!

TeveS-Nor Cal

SAY IT ISN'T SO!

TeveS-Nor Cal

Thanks for keeping us posted! I won't load the truck for another few weeks.

TeveS-Nor Cal

Hi Dennis- spoke with you at great lengths at Bonneville a couple of years ago

TeveS-Nor Cal

Any idea what it sounds like?

TeveS-Nor Cal

I have a later- thick frame. It measures .187 thick . The front cross member is about .156 allowing for very little paint and rust. This is a '26/27 frame. I had a '25 frame that was the .187 thickness but, the cross members were the thinner- maybe the .125. These are both stock, unmolested frames.

DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THE SIGNS!!!!!!!!

Hi Larry- Have a great day!

TeveS-Nor Cal

Howard was always fun to be with! I remember lots of lours and speedster runs and him throwing out bags of M&M's for the right answers at LBMTC meetings.
R.I.P. Humble
Condolences to your family!

Mark- How about taking them down to your local architectural print shop and make some copies?

TeveS-Nor Cal

There are competitors like this! We run them all the time at our FAST hill climbs! Maybe not so extreme; but, just as much fun.

TeveS-Nor Cal

What model Garmin is that?
Happy with it?- buy it again?
Thanks

TeveS-Nor Cal

Somebody really ought to try this! Just for science of course!

TeveS-Nor Cal

Why a "DIP"?

TeveS-Nor Cal

The cheapest! My local Tru-Value Hardware store just had their Master Mechanic oil on sale for $1.99.Got a years plus waiting to be used

TeveS-Nor Cal

SO MANY MODEL T'S------SO LITTLE TIME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TeveS-Nor Cal

I liked the new location! Maybe a touch dusty; but not down in the hole with no breeze
See you next year.

Another factor in this lowering problem is that the torque tube should never go beyond level- even on the biggest bump with your other-in-law riding with you. This is very bad for the universal joint! As I remember this gives you about 7" to play with. I have found that 7" is normally enough!

What do you consider a "rebuildable" coil?
How much should we be paying for an old non-rebuilt coil?

TeveS-Nor Cal

Good start! Why not build a second hopped up one?

TeveS-Nor Cal

What oil do you recommend for the leather bearings?????????????????

TeveS-Nor Cal

Congrats!

TeveS-Nor Cal

Love it!

Corvair

Love the bricks!

I like Eastwood's radiator paint. The gloss looks good with shiny brass. The semi I use on later cars.

TeveS-Nor Cal

Works great to clean out radiators, especially on Model A's that have had 50 years of water pump grease in them. A little goes a long way
