It was a fine day here in mid MO. A bit over 130 miles and 4.5 hrs of driving time thru the rolling hills of the Ozarks.
I heard that there were no problems and everyone made it back without much trouble.

First stop today in Licking, MO

How do they not suck water in on the 6th pic?
Looks like an easy way to hydraulic the motor to me

A nice day for driving the local area here in Rolla today. I had to make a quick trip east on Hwy 44 to pick up some chrome plating I had done and spent about 2.5 hrs and 60 miles doing so. I got back in time to meet up at the local Lions park for pictures, and a great meal that the Chamber of Comme...

Double post

Thanks Herb!!
I’ve had many comments on them.
Everyone likes them.
You should have kept them

First stop at. The Frisco 1501 display

Oh, yeah!!
Haha

I fixed the header

Off to the Hillbilly tour in Cuba, MO

Looking forward to meeting old friends and meeting new ones

Scott

Allen, I responded with a quick question about shipping

I am

There are fillers that are specifically designed to apply over primers. Make sure that you do your research first to avoid failure.

That must have been one terrible impact. In 40 plus years in autobody repair, I have never seen a cab removed from the frame.
Cars split int two, yes, but that this something I’ve never seen before
I hope he is doing better and has a speedy recovery

Frank,
I would like to buy this

I have a Riverside that I just took off my car, I will check if to make sure it is what you are looking for when I get to my shop later today.
If it is what you want, you can have it for the cost of shipping. I’m in the St. Louis, area

I missed the sale earlier of the pump and gauge that recently sold.
I have a nice pump, but I’m looking for a gauge similar to the one that sold.
If anyone has an extra, I would be interested

In Saint Louis, we have $20/ year if you are a national member and $35/year if not.

I’ll add mine to the parade in St.Louis!

Scott

In the St Louis Post Dispatch today in an article about the USPS turning 250 years old

I have one that I have used for 40+ years, it is a great tool to have in your toolbox.

I sent one earlier today

Mine is:

Great pics, John

Sorry I wasn’t able to attend

Scott

St. Louis changed their parade to sometime in the fall, so we headed to the St. Charles, Mo parade. It seemed to have considerably more attendees than the past several downtown STL parades. Four cars attended and a good time was had despite the temps and lack of shade

Ill take it if available

Hijack away,
I too am interested in pics of pedal placement before I mount mine

As the pround new owner of an exhaust whistle, I’m curious as to where the pedal mounts. I would think that there are a couple of different possibilities, but I’m wondering if anyone can share their experiences. I’d rather not mount it, only to find out that there is a better option after I drill ho...

It appears they made both styles
I agree, something is better than nothing. I have a homemade one on my car now, but I want an original style one.

I was able to obtain a Trusko support bracket thinking it would help support the added weight of a Warford transmission. While poling around I found an old post showing that Trusko also made a Warford support bracket. My question is, should one shown help, since it supports the drivetrain ant the 4t...

Are these the new ones, or originals?

That is a great idea
It looks great !

Scott

Frank, I will be there in spirit, but not in person. I was asked to help source some the parts for this car. It was built by students at Ranken Technical School, as part of the X-Cup category. I’m a 1984 grad and they reached out to help with finding some parts and how it went together. The class ma...

On Saturday we got 4 cars together for our spring tour here in St. Louis. It was a beautiful sunny day, after the devastating storms that hit the area the day before. We had a nice 20ish mile drive, visited the historic Frank Lloyd Wright house in Ebsworth park and the Laumeier Sculpture park and th...

The photo didn’t attach so ill try again

The jig was delivered today along with the other Items.
I threw a pan I had at the shop on it and it took about 10 mins of persuasion to get it to fit. I look forward to working a different pan I have that is in a bi worse shape.

Thanks,
Scott

For an oval tank, empty.
Voice of experience talking….

Thanks Mark,
They arrived today

Thanks Jerry

John,
I looking for a suitable replacement

Scott

I recently received an aftermarket fuel gauge that I bought from Jay Buscio. It looks great, but age has taken its toll on the cork float. Do any forum members have any advice? While searching for a suitable replacement, I found a source of straight sided cork on Amazon. It appears that the original...

Jay,
I wish I had a round tank!
Very Cool

I’ve had mine for going on 4 years now. It makes the car enjoyable to drive, for sure. Don’t be afraid to force it into gear, it sometimes seems difficult but it gets easier with practice. I banged it pretty hard learning to drive it. I was worried I had done some damage once so I pulled the cover o...

Thank you James,
I look forward to getting it

I made a key for my running board tool box. I took parts off an old worthless coil I had almost thrown out. I’d like to take credit, but a fellow member posted this fix on a post I saw in the past. Whoever you are, thank you for the idea. I took several attempts cutting and filing to get a usable ke...

The Whippet is owned by a gentleman named Charlie Glick. He is asking $12,000 for it. It has had considerable mechanical work done on it. Charlie is a friend of mine and the car if not sold, lives in Paris Illinois. I don’t know its value, but with the list of what has been done to it, you would be ...

For ease of removal, I chose to use hex head cap screws I gave up on originality for ease of installation. A long Allen socket sure makes installation and tightening easier. I wouldn’t do it on a restoration, but for a driver, it made life much easier. I found a source for them thru a motorcycle sup...

Well, since I started this, I figured I would show the progress. A short trip to the bead blasting cabinet and a quick shot of etching primer left me to find the appropriate color. I was searching thru color chips trying to determine the color from what remained on the case. I narrowed it down to 3-...

Jay,
I’ll take both sets

If I’m not too late
I’ll take them

An overnight soak in lacquer thinner did the trick
Now it is off to the glass shop to have the mirror redone.

Jay,

Let me know shipping to 63390

Well, I’ve made some progress. The case separated with a bit of gentle persuasion, and then the clock(watch) was able to be removed, it appears that there is a stainless steel bezel that would have held the watch crystal was used with out the crystal. It was replaced with the beveled glass that make...

This rear view mirror was in a 27 roadster I recently bought. The clock, surprisingly works and keeps time. The mirror glass though is in need of re-silvering. Has anyone ever had one of these apart? I’m thinking it is bonded to the glass somehow but don’t want to break it, since it it has beveled e...

The Model T Club of Greater St. Louis brought 7 cars to the the Patrick’s Day parade on 3/15. We awoke to an overcast day after the terrible storm rolled thru the area the night before. All of the dirt that was kicked up coming across the plains made for a dreary looking day. We compensated by havin...

Yeah, I was at my wits end with the shimmy. I’ve been through the front end top to bottom and cannot for the life of me figure it out. This was my last ditch effort to solve it. I’m not a fan of it so much, but it has to be better than what I (we) experienced on the fall tour through St. Charles on ...

Finally got a break from other work and decided that the fix for my front end shimmy was to add the steering stabilizer. I also put the step plate on. i wanted to get the holes drilled before I decide that I will finally start doing some needed body repairs. I also installed a fan hub with the seale...

Old thread,
But was the head ever identified?

Dan,
Do you still have any for sale?

I would like one when they are available
Do you have a waiting list, or should I wait to see when you post availability?

Are any of them still available?
