Re: Memorial Day and Model T's
I also give thanks and appreciation for all the sacrifices our servicemen and women have done for our country, and the countries they've freed from dictators or oppressive regimes. May God Bless All The Servicemen and Women, those still here and those who have passed on.

Re: 1922-23 two man top.
Last Fall I repaired the top on my 20 roadster. the previous owner had put a new top on it after hitting his garage door, but he and his friends had the top front bow sitting about 3 inches above the windshield. I had to remove the staples of the entire top, readjust the middle bow to remain at 90 d...

Re: Hail and an old top
i find it interesting how many of these cars spent decades outside and show no hail damage of the hood or exposed metal.

Re: 1923 Model T Roadster for sale
What a sweet deal for somebody. A little top work, sounds like a fresh engine, this would be a great car for somebody to start out with. I've already got a 20 roadster or I'd be planning a road trip! Even though they made more that year than any other year, I still love the swept back windshield and...

Re: Pacemaker
Scott, I agree with you that there's likely few cardiac surgeons, or electrophysiologists for that matter, who know the Gaus units needed to upset the pacemaker, let alone the strength of model T magnets at various distances from the hogshead. They will therefore default to "why take the chance". I ...

Re: High Compression Pistons
Do high compression pistons work under a Rajo C-35 head? I've got a head and sometime soon plan to have an engine built around it with probably a stock SCAT crank. I'm not sure if I want to go with the stroker crank and new rods, mains, etc. This will go in a 26 coupe to hopefully cruise with the lo...

Re: OT What if...No more gas ?
There are thousands of people "off the grid". My cabin in the Black Hills is one of them. They still need gasoline to run engines for splitting logs, tractors, augers, etc. There are also millions of off road enthusiasts using gasoline in their ATV's. Maybe they'll be battery powered also, but the b...

Re: When a novice drops a washer.......
I'm no attorney, but no names or location were placed with the picture, so there is no way I can identify who the owner of the mishap vehicle is. I agree, Tom, that maybe the correct thing would have been to ask permission of the owner if you could post pictures to other model T owners to perhaps pr...

Re: OT Be fashionable and safe.
we had that rear facing seat in a 66 Rambler station wagon. none of us 6 kids wanted to sit there as we had several miles of gravel roads to get anywhere. The dust in that seat was so thick you couldn't breath. Nobody thought of opening the rear window! that would triple the dust!!
