Re: Model T Auction September 2, 2019

Mulberry is a very small town as already referenced. Parking will be available at 3-4 churches within a few blocks of the auction site. There is also a bank and other places available to park since most businesses will be closed for the holiday. There will be a lot of street parking as well.

Re: FS: 23-25 Roadster Body Wood Kit

I'm not sure where I came up with the original price for this kit. I must have looked at a coupe kit price instead. $750.00 for this complete Fordwood 23-25 Roadster wood kit. Can send pics if needed.

Re: Valve grinding or cutting new face question with picture

The valve in the picture is the 2 piece valve that needs replaced. Need to replace all the valves and grind the seats. Can be done in the car.

Re: Sta-Bil or Seafoam?

I never use anything. My T has sat in the trailer since last October. Pulled it up to a tour this weekend and it started right up and ran fine. I did top off the tires with air before leaving.
I’ve had boats, antique tractors and engines which never had any issues either.

Re: Best Black Paint For Painting a T?

Thanks Bob, I wish you were closer. 😁 Thanks to everyone else too. All of this is good stuff to consider.

Regarding the lacquer paint, how does it hold up to UV and being outdoors? This car is one that will be a driver, but I want it to look nice and hold up.

Best Black Paint For Painting a T?

I’ve got a 24 Fordor restoration that is nearing completion to where it’s going to need paint soon. Just curious if there are any suggestions regarding a user friendly paint to use? HVLP or regular spray gun? Something that can be done in the garage?

Re: Replacing a Valve

Will, I’ve done it. #4 cylinder can be a challenge but can be done regarding grinding the seats. If you’re putting in new valves I’d grind the seats. Replacing 1 valve will be a temporary repair as they probably are the 2 peice and others will fail. You need to find a buddy with a seat cutter or buy...

Re: How do you drill an un-drillable hole ????

Before you get carried away and spend a lot of unnecessary money, go to Harbor Freight. They sell a set of Glass Drills for $10 that are sharp carbide tipped drill bits. I used them to drill out a broken off easy out in an Isuzu glow plug recently.

I’m in process of putting a new wood kit in a 24 Fordor body. Overall it’s coming along well. The old roof wood was in pretty bad shape and not really measurable the way the other parts were. I need the outside width dimensions of the roof. Front back and middle, as that will get me an idea if I’m i...
