Well first off, I’ve had plenty of help and taught myself getting my hands dirty, no woe is me mentality here. I don’t expect cheap but I do expect a rough estimate before I spend my hard earned living, I bet you don’t pay for much without knowing the cost first. Moral of the story is, I see you whi...

Never insult your elders young man, very rude! It is called.., "A figure of speech" and you need to know the difference. Hop off your high horse, you’re running off a younger generation. The kid wasn’t rude and was making a joke as well, and you know it. Guys like you are why no younger guys are ge...

Bump anyone?

I’m looking to build a very simple express open top body. Anyone have any pictures or measurements they would be willing to share? Especially on how the body attaches to the frame. Thank you

1923orange

This is crazy. That's almost as much as I paid for my first car in general.

I have a good start on a scratch build. I'm collecting parts as I finish up my 30 model A. I'm looking for any type of T body in decent condition, no speedsters must be original henry ford steel. I'm looking for something within a 6 or 7 hour drive of East TN. Thanks

1923orange

I'm looking for a good complete chassis near East TN. Preferably 1917 or older. I'm wanting to build rather a C cab pickup or a ww1 military truck. Thanks

1923orange

So just browsing YouTube, I know there is the pig n ford races and the Bruderheim races. Why has no one or have they?, formed a model T racing series or small groups around the country? Cars like the pig n ford race cars would be much cheaper to build then most race cars you see weekly at your local...

Hello all, I'm looking for a model T or A project within 5 hours or so of East Tennessee. I'm not looking for restored cars as they are out of my budget. My only stipulation is it must be running and somewhat drivable. Thanks!

1923orange

Thank you!

1923orange

Looking to build a 1915 ww1 patrol car replica. What carb would be best or correct? Thanks!

1923orange

Thanks guys, I'm in East TN. Sounds like I've found a hood and a good lead on two rear fenders. Really appreciate everyone's help on this site. Everyone is always so great to help.

1923orange

Thanks good news is both front fenders are there. I will just need a hood and the two rears. Any good guide on what to look for on the rears as far as correct for the year?

1923orange

Thanks would prefer originals if available.

1923orange

Hello all I'm considering the purchase of a 1915 model t chassis and engine. I'm looking to do a ww1 patrol car. I have one left front fender. I will need two rear fenders and a right hand front fender. I'm missing a hood as well. How hard are these items to find and how expensive? Thanks

1923orange

Thanks guys! Was told this was a 27 but not sure how to tell for sure. Truck is less than 20 miles from the business who bought it brand new! It has stayed local all these years.

1923orange

It sure is!

1923orange

Hello all, I've just traded for a 1927 Armleder and will be looking for some help. Not sure where the best forum or place is to ask knowledge folks such as you all a few questions. Thanks

1923orange

Thanks so much for sharing. This was great watched for over an hour. This guy is talented.

1923orange

Thank you all.

1923orange

What can I tell by the color of these valves? The cylinders look/feel great.

1923orange

Is howells not making them?

1923orange

Jim good idea, id like to see it done on a fender like this. Would it be prone to cracking eventually?

1923orange

Just for fun lets see some pictures, what is the roughest car you or a buddy has restored back to its former glory?

1923orange

Perfect! I need to do this myself.

1923orange

Perfect! I need to do this myself.

1923orange

Well, first thing is the motor stuck? I would think not if its been stored in a barn, but you never know.

1923orange

Thanks Allan, I was under the impression that I could just buy a whole new panel. Seems like this may be a slight different problem in owning a Canadian car. Thanks for your help!

1923orange

Thanks Allan, do you maybe have a link to the metal I need?

1923orange

Looking great!

1923orange

Thanks guys dumb question what do you mean by round T part? Thanks again

1923orange

Good point, I've read some hold humidity pretty bad.

1923orange

Thanks for all the replies! I'm thinking of closing off all 3 sides and putting a gable up for now. I think they will hold a lot of the rain and snow out. We barely get snow here anyways.

1923orange

Thanks John thought about the car cover route but was afraid of trapping moisture.

1923orange

Crazy question, just curious after I get done with my T model restoration, all I have to store her under is a metal carport with open sides and back. My car is a touring and I do fear for the wood. Anybody store in a similar situation? I'm in East Tennessee as well mild to minor winters and mild sum...

1923orange

Hello all need some advice for my 23 touring. The rear panel is full of bondo, and the bottom tack strip that attaches to the body is rusted out. This is from water gathering under the spare tire bracket. I was thinking of ordering an entire replacement panel for the back of the car. Just a few ques...

1923orange

Thanks guys now I'm not sure. The car is a Canadian car. The title is a 23, the engine is american built and is a 1925. The axle shows a 1925 date. What do you guys think?

1923orange

Hello all where can I find the rear seat pan, and the pieces of wood for the back seat of my 1923 touring. Thanks

1923orange

Doing some restoration work on my 23T. I don't want her to appear new. I considered buying one of the seat kits from langs. I thought also about maybe using some burlap feed sacks for seat covers, somthing maybe like a farmer would have done in the 30s. Anyone else done this? Thanks

Just wanted to show off my newly refurbished model t radiator. My 1923 touring was overheating after just a few minutes of run time. No one around here wanted to take the time to refurb or recore. I was able to contact motor mission in Las Vegas Nevada. Jimmy and his team out there were extremely pr...

1923orange

Thanks guys its one of those Duh moments for me. Just didn't pay much attention.

1923orange

How would my lights have been originally turned on, on my 1923 touring? It is a starter car. And canadian built if that matters. Thanks

1923orange

Great stories, being a ww2 buff I always wondered how many Ts were on the road still during the war. Thanks

1923orange

What are the chances some of our model T's were still being used as daily drivers pre ww2 in the early 1940s? Just curious...

1923orange

I'm not positive, isn't there some differences in the later 26/27 and 23 t model headlights in the U.S.?

1923orange

Hello, I'm confused on the exact type of headlight style I need for my Canadian 23 touring. Does anyone by chance have this type of light for sale? Thanks.

1923orange

Spoke with a very nice and knowledgable gentleman yesterday out in vegas. He thinks he can refurb the radiator and if not he can recore.

1923orange

1923orange

Any place that sells individual pieces of wood? I'm just needing the curved piece of wood that goes around the top back of a 1923 touring. The rest of my wood is fine. Thanks

1923orange

Hello all im currently looking for a used radiator. My current one is clogged and causing overheating. I've tried to clean it with not much luck. I know a berg is my best choice, however with paying for college at the moment its out of the budget. No one around me recores and I've got some events if...
