We are putting our 1916 Touring car back together. The door hinges have 14 counter sunk screw holes. Were all of them used?

Hey All!
Working on my 1916 touring car. Sheet metal where rear door hinge attaches through sheet metal into wood frame is messed up. Would someone be able to cut off six inches and sell it to me? Maybe I could explain it better in a phone call.

I have searched for the answers on the site but still need some guidance. I have a 1916 Touring and have removed the body for restoration. I have forgotten the reassembly order. Do the splash shields attach below the body on top of the mounting pads? Second question what engine stand do you recommen...

Thanks to all for the input. I have suspicions about the seller.

Hooray! I found and just received two excellent front fenders for my 1916 Touring. No rot, no dents just media blast and finish. This saves me so much work trying to save the originals. Thanks for the support!

Keith,
Thanks for the pics. I am redoing the rear seat in my '16 Touring. The pics help me see what it should look like.
It is great having others help.

Hey All!
I am working on my 1916 touring car. I am finishing the rear seat and I was hoping someone had pics of the seat without the upholstery.

Hey All, I have a 1916 Touring car that came to me very complete. Everything was included. I removed the fenders, running boards and splash shields while I redid the bucket. I wonder if I am better to find someone that will refurbish the body parts or to order new ones. Will the new parts fit as wel...

I am restoring a 1916 Touring car. I have only the metal for the seat back and I am sure there was some wood in the seat. Could someone take a picture of their seat back with only the seat and framework and send it?. Thank you in advance.

Happy Thanksgiving! This car is my first automobile restoration project. So I am asking you a couple questions. When I picked up the car there were three sets of headlights and several brass horns and several parts like bulbs and hoses to the horn. My questions are did the 16 come with a horn? Also ...

Hey All!
I am working on a 1916 touring car and I have heard there should be wood shims under the rear mounts. Is this correct? If it is could someone shot a picture so I can see? I don't have any other Model Ts near me.

Hey All!
I am working on my 1916 touring and I am starting to fit the doors back in the body. I have no similar car to compare. Could you advise me about what gaps other people have between the doors and the body?

My hood former has a hole for the rod from radiator to cowl. Above the hole is another smaller hole about 3/8 " . It is exposed to weather. What does it do?

Hey All, I am installing a new firewall. I have it all ready except for the finish. It is made of birch plywood and it is very blond, almost white. I have seen others in pictures and they appear to be stained a darker color.. Any advice about a stain that was used. We have a 1916 touring. I also hav...

Today I am seeking patch panels for the 1916 touring. I will need fenders and running boards as I progress. I expect this restoration to take a couple years. I am 75 years old and I hope to outlive the project. BTW I have been getting parts and advice from Davin SMith of Smith and Jones and so far I...

Hey All!
I have a 1916 touring and I have found some replacement parts. Some are difficult to find. I was wondering what suppliers would you recommend ? I suppose all the retailers use the same source. Is this the case?
Thanks,
Campbell Tellman

New owner of 1916 Touring. Separated the chassis from body and removed rusted and dented fenders and running boards. Next week take body for bead blasting and then start patch panels. This is going to be a fun project. Davin Smith of Smith and Jones has been a real asset. Thanks, Campbell Tellman Be...

I have had many projects in my life. Restored a 1836 farm house, rebuilt a Nauticat motorsailer and other smaller endeavors. I find the Model T redo to require learning a different skillset. At my age I (75) find it rewarding and interesting. My experience with fiberglass and finishing wood leaves m...

I have since learned they are the truss rods. One straight and one with a dip. I believe 1/2 inch stock. I have some square nuts and some hex nuts on this car so that is why I am wondering the correct fastening.
Thanks,
Campbell Tellman

Hey All!
We are starting on a 1916 touring car. The rods between the running board supports have mismatched bolts. I wonder if someone could post a picture of the correct hardware. Maybe a description would do.
Thanks in advance.

Hey All! I am taking a 1916 touring car apart to learn about and restore. It has been a lot of fun. I removed the rear upholstery and found three vertical bars from the seat to the top of the body. This a new project to me and my first Model T. Is this normal construction? Thanks, Campbell Tellman I...

We have a new to us 1916 Touring and under the rear seat is a compartment. Should there be a metal cover on this area?

I thought a compression test was an indicator of engine health. I have not started this engine but with the plugs removed it turns over with the crank. It has not run since 1990. I am going to remove the engine to clean up the frame. At that time I will get some professional help with the mechanical...

New owner to a '16 touring car. It has a 10,9xx,xxx engine. I am going to do a compression check and I would like to learn what is considered a healthy number. Under the rear seat there is storage. Should that area have a metal lid like over the fuel tank? Thanks for the help. Campbell Tellman II Be...

Our touring car has a replacement firewall made of particleboard that is 3/4 inch thick. I am asking for advice as to thickness and material of the original.

Some fotos this AM.

I am trying to determine the year of my new project. This touring car has a 21 3/4inch hood with six louvers per side. There is a cowl so the hood does not reach the wood firewall. There is a battery box below the rear floorboard and I am sure this is a replacement engine/trans as there is a generat...

The hood spans between the radiator and a cowl. I am going by the title which says '14. I realize after so many years there could be misinformation. It has a brass radiator, headlamps, acetylene generator, spark and throttle control and tail and front sidelights. When I can I will post a photo. Is t...

My neighbor found a 1914 touring car. It had three owners. I had been in a garage for 25 years. It needs TLC but the wheels are good, the doors are solid and the replacement engine is not seized. It originally belonged to the sheriff in Jonesborough, TN. It even has two bullet holes in the cowl! I a...

This seller has one picture. He says it is a torpedo. As I understand it they were made in 1911 and 1912. The picture shows a two piece windshield with the bottom flipped out. I do not know the door profile but if it is a 1911 it should be round at the bottom. The seller does not have a title but it...

I am going to look at a 1910 Model T with an open valve engine. It also has a five ball carburetor. Can you advise as to good or bad points? Such as are parts available?

There is so much knowledge here! That's what makes this hobby so much fun. Every tidbit of info helps me learn and hopefully help others. As I learn more about this car I will post it. I do know it has an open valve engine with a five ball carb. The lower windshield does swing forward. It said to be...
