I don’t recall ever seeing much discussion on engine splash pans on these boards over the years. Just curious whether anyone has researched them, and if there is a chronology that attends changes in their form.

Question arises from an original condition ‘23 centerdoor with this pan, in 64 years of “T-ing” I have never seen one like this....

I don't know how many times I have seen a what it's worth post but I'm in need of a answer. I have a For sale Vehicles ad for my 1925 Model T
Fire truck & have had 0 interest in it as of yet. I'm wanting to know what is the issue with it & what someone would be willing to pay for it?
Is there no interest in it, is it too high priced or are T's...

I am working on the chassis that I pulled out the the ground/weeds at my late friend's house have am nearly ready to finally start the engine after quite a bit of work getting it unstuck and cleaned up inside and out. It still looks pretty ugly and rusty which I kind of like and I was fixing to order plug wires and a timer wiring harness but...

i set the body on the frame the other night and used 1/2 inch bolts to secure to the 6 frame mounts and everything seemed to line up but I see the front fourdoors seem to be above the firewall so I'm guessing the firewall was not raised up to where it should be. My question is am i overlooking something as when i picked up the car the firewall was...

I’ve seen many strange and interesting accessories, but this takes the cake for the silliest. I wonder if one survived?

This is a nice pair of hard to find Firestone 30x3.5 demountable clincher rims. No heavy pitting, just some light surface rust. The clincher edges are in very nice shape. I wouldn’t be surprised if these have never been used.

Price drop!
$100 for the pair plus shipping in the U.S.

Free: Three rusty side and tail lamp bodies. One tail lamp is pretty beat up, the other is just plain rusty. The side light body has a lot of surface rust but you might actually be able to bring it back. They're free just pay shipping. I would prefer to get rid of all of them at once.

Free: I still have a whole bunch of Truss Head (or mushroom head or brazier head) rivets, with a 3/16 x 1 shank, made of what I'm pretty sure is mild steel.

Very nice as found original condition. A great pair...
