Thanks. I am in Lafayette, La. So it’s about 7 hours each way. I went last spring and enjoyed it but it is about a 400 dollar trip with gas, food and a room. Maybe try again next spring.

Is anyone going? Is it worth attending for Model T stuff?

A friend sold his Model A to a local dealership for showroom display just a couple of weeks ago. Got a fair price. So it still happens.

Where in La. ?

Some years ago I was in search of wire wheels for my T I contacted Model T Haven and made a deal for a set which he said he would take to Chickasha for me. A few days prior to the meet I contacted him to confirm and he assured me that he would have wheels at Chickasha. I drove 600 miles and found hi...

Thanks, Tom. I really enjoyed that post.

Not "are", "or".

Would any but "commercial users" post in this section? Are do you only want to have certain people pay a fee and if so, what parameters do you suggest?

Kevin, Thanks.

On the subject of Fordsons, does anyone know of a source for valves? A friend is working on a 20 model and would like to replace the badly worn valves. Thanks for any help.

A very similar or the same car listed on ebay now for 14000

That is a nice little car for the money. Love that seat

Good stuff. I sold it here in my store for a while but it never caught on. Maybe because most of my customers are woodworkers but I really liked it when I did tool repair or in the garage at home. It is basically borax and ground up pine cones as far as I can tell.

Now that's funny.

Kerry, yes about 45-50 psi per cylinder. Some time will free start but runs terribly and spark advance has erratic effect. For a while it ran rather poorly and worse as it warmed up. Now it is just terrible and will barely pull itself. I bought it about 3 years ago and always felt there was somethin...

Thanks, I will take a look at that.

Thanks for the input. I ordered the thrust kit, a new .003 over cam gear and a generator gear. Think I should get the bearings too?

Been fighting a poor running T for some time now and having : Rebuilt coil box, rebuilt coils (two different sets), rebuilt carbs (two different ones), new wiring harness, new tank, rebuilt switch, adjusted valves, three different timers, new plugs two or three times and different gaps, changed head...

I had considered something like that and I have some like the ones you are showing but they just don't look right and also seem inadequate. I am thinking of trying to make a curved flat piece about 1/4 of a circle with a right angle bend on one end which would attach to the gate and slide through a ...

My gate hangs down like that when it is open. Does anyone have a clever way of supporting it level with the bed? I would rather not use chains and thought of fabricating some sort of pull out or spin out support. I also toyed with a bracket of some sort which would attach to the gate and slide throu...

It doesn't need a bead or shoulder as it will only open when both latches are pushed outward at the same time. Also doesn't require much of a slam, in fact mine closes with a firm push.

I did mine that way and it works really well. Takes a little tweaking to get it just right but it is a great option in my opinion.

Several years ago I saw Jay Leno driving a T on TV. He said of all his many vehicles, the T was one of his favorites. I thought, now here is a true gear head whose options are virtually unlimited and he likes a T, I will have to see what this is about. Well, I bought a little coupe, then a canopy ex...

FIRST, there is no point in FOOLING around with something this old. There were no decent cars built before 1928. Forget about it.

Would like to know about the full flow valves and may want the washers. Call me when you have time. 337 852 1125.

Yes, Allen, the chassis and cowl are '29 so the pressed steel would be correct and I need a set.

I am building a Model A Huckster and need a set o running board brackets. John three 3 seven eight 52 11 two five

The open express is a lot of fun to drive. I built a closed cab for the one I had and rather regretted it except on rainy days.
