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...

Ill take them

If this is still available,
I’d like to purchase it.

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 !

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.

John,
I looking for a suitable replacement

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
Scott

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?

Can you imagine the angry shouts about the parking in photo 15 if it happened today.
I really enjoy these posts, it is easy to imagine a slower paced world looking at them.

Quick update

down to needing one

Hi Mark,
What would you need for the 2 square ones at the left of the photo?

I’m looking for 4 brass hood clips for a car that is being built at Ranken Technical College in St. Louis. The students are building a 26 coupe to compete in The Great Race, X-cup. A category for Tech and high school students. They obtained a 26 coupe locally and have done a lot of work on it to get...

Jay,

Would ya look at the radiator in photo 15!
I worry about mine when one of the cooling fins gets bent.
But then again they were plenty of used ones to be found and new ones weren’t over a grand to buy.

When I first put mine together, the timing was off and caused the manifold to overheat and glow red. It also showed me that I had a coolant leak in the front cylinder.

This has been fascinating to watch the progression.
Thank you for sharing your work

Scott

Quick google search came up with
Electric Machine Corp. (ELMCO) out of Indianapolis.

X-ing out must only work once. I tried to view it again, and only get a blank page

It was great meeting you yesterday, many thanks to your grandson for helping get things loaded.
It was quite the bonus to see Craig’s collection as well, very impressive!

I got that new (old) car feeling again. I thought I would end the year on a high note

If anyone here has something similar, I am looking for a running board spare tire carrier

If Bryan does not purchase it, I will

I’ll look when I back at my shop, I bought it at a local welding store. I don’t think the roll is in its original packaging. Hard to say if I got lucky with it, but it has been trouble free for me. I did consider brazing it, but for whatever reason I opted for the silver solder. I have also for one ...

I obtained an ANCO manifold with poor/ degraded threads, so I took a warped standard manifold with good threads and cut them off. I then removed about 1/2 of the inner diameter of the replacement part on a lathe. I then carefully ground the bad threads from the ANCO manifold, checking the fit freque...
