Re: Wanted 1913 windscreen support.

The windshield folds forward, so you need two straight supports.

Re: WTB 26 27 Roadster Light Bar

I have a bar with both lights attached. I will try to find it tomorrow. If you are not in a hurry, I can give it to a friend that lives near you, when we go to the Ohio tour in a few weeks. Charlie

Great find. I believe that part is not reproduced.
I just found one cleaning out a friend's garage.

Re: 13 engine Id. Problems

Someone here listed a 12 block for sale. When I examined it, the pad had been shortened, it didn't have the threaded freeze out plugs, and other things that made it a non 12 block.
At least YOU are being honest...

Re: HELP!!! LOST!! AT LURAY!!!

The good news is that people in this hobby are probably the most honest people I have dealt with.
Give it some time, as people are still unpacking their vehicles. You will be getting a call or email that your treasures were found.

Re: Is Leading Fellow Model Ts For a Day over Remote Dirt Roads a Good Idea?

One of the best week long tours that we went on was called "The red dirt road tour". A whole week of visiting PEI, and their hospitality. Hoping to return and tour more of Canada.
Other tours with dirt roads included Kanab Utah, Boone N.C., and Vermont.
Every tour we went on had dirt roads.
