Re: How I installed a new muffler
I came up with an exhaust pipe that keeps the exhaust fumes totally away from the spare. Reader’s Digest version here: I bought a ten foot long piece of inch and a half exhaust pipe for about $15. I cut off a piece about three feet long and had a muffler shop put two 45º bends in it. By trial and er...

Re: Exhaust manifold question
Our ’22 touring has the same exhaust manifold as yours has. The comments are correct about it being unlikely to warp. It’s a good unit to have. The carb and intake manifold on the touring routinely iced up from moderately to seriously. There seems to be no heat pipe (or stove) available for the exha...

Re: Dealer Badge
Here's the Bauer Ford badge on our '25 coupe which was sold new in Cincinnati about 10 miles where it now lives in Taylor Mill, KY. The Latonia Motor Company badge on our '22 touring is from a dealership that was located about 2 miles from where it's presently garaged, also in Taylor Mill. KY.

Help with a key rack
Does anyone know where I might be able to acquire just the copy (or background) for a key rack as pictured? I can make the board to which it attaches. All I need is the paper “artwork”. I put together the one pictured many years ago and the decades have not been kind. Thanks kindly in advance, Tom

Re: Bauer Tilt Wheel Badges Now Available
I'd like to echo Tim's comments. Even if you haven't a Bauer wheel to which to attach a badge it's an interesting item to have on its own merits. I received the three I ordered from John on Friday the 22nd having been mailed Wednesday. Way to go, USPS. The quality is excellent. It's hard to imagine ...

Re: What name have you given your T
Naming a machine is somewhat like naming a child. None the less here are the names with which we have tagged our four T Models and one A Model. The 1922 touring is OSITA, an acronym for Old Shot In The A**. The '24 roadster answers to Howard, from whom he was acquired. The '25 coupe is known far and...

Coupe weight
There is a Duke's mixture of weights out there when I search for the weight of an ordinary 1927 T coupe.
Has anyone weighed theirs or have a definitive weight for their machine?
Thanks kindly, Tom in Taylor Mill, KY 41015

Re: Looking for pictures of Model T era auto service vehicles
Fender's Towing is still in business, still in Newport, probably only a few blocks from where the photo was taken. Anyone else of the opinion the airborne T would be a candidate for restoration today?

Here’s a photo of our ’25 coupé. It’s just an honest old T Model. The photo was taken last October on the road back to our house. I love the sepia tone as it imparts a flavor of the old to the new.

Good morning all. What's on my miniature mind is removing, as best as possible, oil stains on a smooth concrete floor where our T's have unceremoniously marked their territory. There have been posts in the past but I can't seem to recall the magic words to find them in the archives. So if you have a...
