I remember working at a Gas Station in the early '70s to supplement my Army income. When the "embargo" hit I was fielding complaints about the price of gas doubling and the long lines and the limit on how many gallons you could purchase..... I learned from that experience that people don't think bef...

We used to free them up by holding the clutch down in low gear parking brake engaged and bumping it with the starter. Then we learned if the truck was going to sit for awhile we made a wooden block to keep the clutch pedal depressed never had a stuck clutch again

Nah Never Happened

You still have metal surrounding the coils since the early T had the coil box in the cabin, so I would say "Iffy" If they don't survive then take the spare set out of your metal tool box. The Magneto should survive with no issues early or late!

Isn't that what "Off Topic" is for all things not related to the care and feeding of the Model T?
If I see a muscular Dude not wearing clothes and he approaches me should I give him the key to my Model T?

The last time we had real snow in Jacksonville Fl was December 1989. it stayed on the ground for 3 days and brought the city to a complete standstill including the 3 navy bases we had at that time.

Looks good to me, just make sure you designate space for the cars that cannot be violated. Trying to keep my late wife from storing "Stuff that we might need later" was a task. I finally had to build her her own space.
