Someone left saddle soap on it without wiping it off. Re apply saddle soap and rub for awhile then wipe off should do the trick.

Wax on..., Wax off Daneilson!

SAD..., But Dan I said it 10 years ago about support of the hobby and producers of replacement parts as you know. All your expenses to and from, risk of an accident, wear and tear, etc makes you rethink the future. I have loaded the last of my Model T parts on a scrap trailer so on to the final chap...

It amazes me that some have forgotten history. Starting in the late 1940's the shoe was on the other foot with UK and other Commonwealth counties and USA made items were tariffed to death, Now that the USA wants "Protectionism" to keeps "Us" as a superpower, everyone has hurt butts! Who are you goin...

Simple..., use a correct piece of round stock, a correct "catch" at the bottom and do it in a hydraulic press!

LOOKING GOOD BIG DAWG!

Scott...., Really? You forgot the bubble wrap and duct tape! Amen to your post as I can relate big time! I slid a motorcycle under a semi trailer in my 20's as the jackass ran a stop sign. Thank God back in those days they did not have all the under carriage barriers on them or I would have been spl...

Kevin, You nailed it! Say it is for water! The joints are "Pittsburg" style which hold firm and are either soldered or epoxied. Modern solder is trash and finding good acid is even worst. Still debated whether to offer to build this as the metal forming skills are disappearing quickly. Where the hel...

I use to build any style the customer wanted but due to no one wanting to pay a craftsman a decent price, many sheetmetal guys have quit or died off. It must use baffles (2), a seam 2/3 from the bottom, and a flexible mounting strap system to accommodate the frame movement of the T. Good luck in fin...

Scott,

Would you please get off of my soap box...., with both of us on it, it's going to break brother!

I hear you loud and clear!

I said this many years back concerning tires without DOT Approved listed on the tire, accessory brakes, etc. No one wanted to listen. Now here comes your fun, insurance companies have their lobbyists and have pushed law makers into the magic word of…,”not covered items” and “not recommended” . Just ...

Mr Chaffin,

Please be advised that “engine porn” is not allowed on this forum!

This is your first warning!

YES Dan..., He was something else and had real class. I got crapped on by a very well known supplier to all antique/vintage cars and he found out what really happened after he was bragging about it. Don called me at home asking questions about this guy and said nothing else. A week passes and I rece...

If you knew Don Meadows on a personal level and he liked you, he would give you a tour of what Dad and I called "The Secret Willy Wonka Factory Warehouse". The celebrity cars, movie prop cars were mind blowing! RIP Don...., You are missed old man! A real self made man!

Lack of manners and respect expected something cheap.., woe is me is not what any hobby needs. Get your butts and get involved by assisting and thou shall learn. Quit whining! The man is 93 years old, a child of the Great Depression, tough love with hard knocks made him like my father. You have to l...

LOOKING GOOD THERE BIG DAWG!

Never insult your elders young man, very rude! It is called.., "A figure of speech" and you need to know the difference.

Simple..., Take a piece of round brass stock and silver solder it on. Shape to your desire!

That is an early true Livingston and the badge is an inverted triangle…., if you had the original badge, add an additional $5,000.00. The badge you are talking about is way after.

Again, just Sayin

Yes.., a 3 core triangle

Where’s the Livingston badge? That is where the value lays. Just Sayin

And like always..., YOU ARE A DAMN LIAR AND KNOW IT! Go find that hole and die!

You owe me $150.00 in shipping charges and insurance! Take your crocodile tears and bullshit elsewhere or better yet dig a hole and crawl into and die! And you are online again!

Looking Good Mike..., Enjoy those memories with the lil ones!

Individual taste on town cars were to match their taste and style. If you could afford a town car and a chafer then you wanted to be different in the era. Just sayin!

Please do..., I have received more emails and text messages about how you screwed so many! You do not have the parts anyway or you would post pictures! Pay dues and become a good person is a start!

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS POS SCAMMER!

You have been warned!

Anthony Medley is a POS.., remember me! You never sent money after you wanted an item and I sent. Calling you out!!!!!!!!

CAUTION! THIS GUY IS A SCAMMER! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

That combination is an excellent upgrade!

Brent if you notice there are some areas where there are 3/16" holes where the body bolts mount on the frame on the inside of the subframe. There is also some up toward the front under the the floor board channels for sheet metal screws to assist in the attachment of the splash aprons. Hope this hel...

Checks an or USPS money orders!

The ones I have seen Morgan used a rubber wheel as you are stating with light spring pressure from an arm. Turned out it was pretty accurate.

Prep is the key! For years I only used Evapo-rust solution twice, rinse with warm soapy water, rinse again with just warm water. install a new bag and filter on a shop=vac, reverse the suction port with exhaust and purge for about 2 hours rotating the tank multiple times. Install about 2 quarts of R...

Before SAE standards..., probably 10-26 or 10-28 threads. Modern SAE are 10-24 or 10-32.

Not hard to make from steel fabrication process in pieces, weld, braze, shape, then texture prior to painting.

Been there, Done that before.

Not hard to make Larry from "craft" channel sold at hobby supply stores. Just Sayin!

Look at saddle supplies too.

Keith I married one of those too…., welcome to the millionaires club!

Hank

And "English" on a cue ball was explained to me while I lived in the UK as a polite way of striking someone in the jaw to do what you want them to do! And it works!

Allan....., LMAO!

Do you have the dimensions, length, and quantity needed? I think I have the ones you are looking for.

Hank

Drill a hole 180 degrees out from machine screw 3/16", when finished fill with JB Weld!

That is a Ralph Reeder.., Performance Texas T Parts.

You need to remove the small roll pin at the bottom and is accessible by removing the machine screw.

Hank

Persistence in self teaching has its rewards! Super Job!

Don't let others tell you what you can do or not do to your car! You own it, make it fit your needs! Welcome to America, the land of the free!

Why not just remove the steering column, get a donor upper gear case with the original 5 to 1 and do it correctly. Your spark rod and throttle rods are probably worn out and replace them too!

So maybe..., just maybe as I have recommended in the past, you all call the board members, president and "CLOSE THE SITE DOWN TO NON PAID MEMBERS"!

We all pay to play!

These are a must for fender straightening, motorcycle parts forming, etc. This is a Cadillac one...., $500.00 you pick up! four23eight3seven5seven09!!!!!!

A great single axle trailer with hydraulic surge brakes, serious ply tires (new), ramps, extra European diamond plate, just remove the the side stakes and a T fits on it! Pulls like a dream! $1,000.00 you pick up! Has a Tennessee title! four23eight3seven5seven09. IMG_4702.jpeg IMG_4701.jpeg IMG_4703...

Sent the memo to my cousin One Hung Low and he is on it! He says....,"Capitalist B@sT@rds want everything perfect".

Art you have always been a jewel and you know I have great respect for you, it appears you got my hidden message but others automatically jumped at an opportunity.

Rock On!

It needs to be done correctly and not just getting the car running. It is not a belittlement but a fact of the times. Sorry you have hurt feelings too.

No disrespect to anyone but this is a perfect example of why the hobby is dying. The vendors have the parts and have gone to great expenses to make them for the masses, when you say.., "The owner just wants to get it running" means I am being cheap and do not want to do it correctly so my heirs can ...

6 weeks later and the climate controlled room is built! Wheels off the ground, tire pressure lowered to 15 psi, fuel drained and purged..., let the coma begin. Better things to do in life!

That's a good come back Allan! LOL I was fortunate enough to be given by a dear friend all the original drawings, penciled in changes, dates from personal copies from his father's work at Ford years back that I do not believe have ever made it to public view. These start from late 1907 to 1932. Sorr...

I recommend filling oil filter completely, disconnect oil lines , outputs on pump, and fill with an oil can and turn engine by starter. Works everytime.

Those old dinosaurs are accurate!!!!!!!

Those were made for split adjustable hair pin radius rods…, so you could dial in the caster!

Hank

A brass bailing pump that runs off a continuous shaft thru the water pump.

Hank

Eric, you may want to consider a different oil pump...., VW pumps are designed as a submerged pump like an aircraft pan engine. Also driving from a slot from the back cam can cause linear growth from heat damaging the pump. Years back there were many failures in my shop. I never pursued the VW syste...

TIG welding using a copper back plate with multiple cool cycles and doing pearls instead of a continuous weld.

I have been building custom headers since my teenager years, 3/8" is your friend, bevel inside and out, match distances within 3% flow check if you can!

Bingo Jerry and Frank! Tap water is an "Inducer"! People and companies want to sell you more than you need. Anyone need nitrogen for your tires....,

Scott,

I am writing new chapters in my life and none of it has to do with cars!

Hank

Hank Wee’s cousin, One Hung Loo say…,” SCRAP BABY SCRAP”

I always drill mine to accommodate a T pulley. Normally I build my own set of pulleys to either a 4L or 3L size depending on accessories.

Hank

No as I am writing new chapters in my life.

Well Dan, years back I scraped about 30 starters and 20 generators as no one would give me $40.00 each per core but will charge you $75.00. I just chucked the armatures into scrap steel and burned out the copper fields. Copper was at $3.79 per pound and steel at $.10 per pound.

Hank

Brent,

I have done about 40 each of them over the years, just need your crank, gear, woodruff key.

Hank

Main Kit is SOLD..., KR Wilson ream is still available!

No disrespect to anyone but...., Limited funds, Health issues, Elderly person, and you are his friend trying to help out is about a ridiculous statement. You have known as much as you monitor this forum and weigh in that there is a good 6 months plus waiting list on a seat kit. And you have insulted...

Babbitt is sold so only the Gene French line boring equipment as a set with extra misc tooling, $1,700.00…., KR Wilson ream, $400.00.

Scrap metal should go up is the second option!

Warfords are all right hand thread with the nut snug then the retaining tang washer has a few tabs bent over to hold in place. I recommend finding someone with an original or reprinted manual for reassembly and adjustments.

Hank

Eric I have a restored one but the mounting bracket has been cut down for a special project that did not go as planned. Can be easily made from sheet steel.

Hank 4two38three75seven09

One Hung Low Lee say…..,”Daniel-sun hav many”, Honable Chinese need many! Ahhh-soo

SOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No...., The tire itself has no DOT rating, and says "not for highway use", so....., the liability lies with the owner. They disclosed it on the product. Just like Sure Stop Brakes use an "off road" utility vehicle master cylinder and Wildwood trailer brakes, ie, rotors, calibers, pads...., "Not for ...

And all those tires/tyres made by certain people are marked..., "FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY" non DOT approved. Meaning not for road use or passenger carrying and that is why lil boys and girls they do not last! Second...., they pass on the liability to you by that statement, which in turn opens up a ...

I believe I have an original stamped steel one. Please send me an email and will double check tomorrow.

There is so much you can do with a Model B crank, easy to balance with added metal, easy to weld on as the metal quality is far past others. The mains are a bit of a challenge in a T block and possible by means of spreading out the attachment bolts. And if you want to break the rules..., do an offse...
