Nota my Channel, musta be a youa Channel.

I use Cerakote. It takes the heat and its thin. Holds up real well.

I will work fine. The perfecto is the precursor to the Ruckstell.

Amen to that Andy. It was a lot of fun even though our day didn't go quite as smooth. We had a few issues and came in late/last but finished and picked up the Hard Luck Trophy and Certificate of Completion. For the icing on the cake, after loading the car on the trailer and starting to tie it down I...

I just bought the Dollar Store ones again. They are now on a plastic stick instead of wood. I will be participating in the Santa Clara Speedster endurance run this weekend. Lets see if they make it all the way thru the 200 miles.....

If its mostly varnish/shellac, the solvent for it is denatured alcohol. I have poured in a gallon and kept turning the tank over and over for about 10days. It also helps to shake it in between turning it. After it loosened everything up I used a pressure washer inside it to get it clean. Unfortunatl...

It seems you bought that car about the same time Cyrus was born....It was meant to be.

The last ones I got were from the Dollar Store. They lasted a long time. I'm going back to check on them again and see if they will still hold up as well. I'll report back.

It is a 1906 to early 1909. I don't know how the serial numbers went for the NRS cars and knowing how Henry did things they could of used
the last they had of the NRS car plates on the early 1909 T's

Take the cap off and try and move the rotor by hand see if it springs back or if it is solid. If it springs back it has weights and advances.

I'll try it again Andy.
Dang fangled computers, there's a reason I drive a Model T......

#27 is registered for the run , out of moth balls, and had a good shake down. This has been on my. bucket list for way too many years.
Can't wait....

3/8 minimum.

I have two speedsters with tillitson X carbs they work great. One on a Model A Manifold and the other on a modified Model T manifold.
I can send pictures if you want. Good inexpensive fun.

Another thing to consider is adding very large numbers or some sort of graphic to the roof of the trailer. If your trailer is stolen it is much eaiser to spot from the air or from a higher elevation. Criminals usually swap the license plates but never look on the roof. The CHP around here says it re...

I don't know how to do it, but some one should start a go-fund me on this one.

I have two with batteries underneath the back seat and another with the battery in a period accesary running board box on the running board. and a third one I put a later battery carrier in. The location and size would be dermined on what you are using the battery for. If its for starting the car yo...

New Day timers for the past 70yrs. in our family.

For heavily tarnished brass, stuff that hasn't been polished in years, I use Lysol toilet bowl cleaner. Then Never-Dull

Thanks Tom,

I don't know where you find all the photos, but please keep them coming...

Sold. $43,000

I don't know if any one still does it, but we used to use Homelite Bearcat outboard motor cranks in Crosley motors. The Bearcat crank had no flange it was tapered for the outboard flywheel. We would make up a flange and mate it to the crank using a friction welding process. It should work on a Model...

Yep, I've had a few out on the table at a swap meets and you always get at least one guy that has to spin it and hold onto the working end....

Maybe those bolts were holding down a battery that is not in the box now. Maybe their charging the battery.......

Maybe they used a Tommy Gun to put the holes in the doughnuts.

Hi, I didn’t know who ended up with Larry Sidmore’s AC brake business. I ended up with Richard Baughman’s drawings and fixtures just before Larry Sidmore passed. I used them to finish putting the AC brakes on a couple of my cars. I’ll get hold of Daniel Bennett and see if he wants to carry on with t...

I think the picture with the Center Door going thru a tree is possibly the stump tree in Washington.
There are at least 3 drive thru trees left in California. I was in a car that drove thru the Wanona tree in 1966 with a Horseless Carriage Club Tour. (It was also a Center Door Sedan)
