Greetings!
My name is Emerson Cobbs, and I am currently living in Osceola, Arkansas. It being the small town it is, a productive autumn project seemed like a good idea to keep busy, and I had always wanted a brass car. I found this vehicle on FB Marketplace in Sikeston (though the car was purchased new in the Bismark, MO area and spent its life in...

See you there! Jeron Takacs, Seamus Hnat and myself are en-route to Hershey! Currently driving through Ohio.

Cleaning up some stuff for mu swapmeet stock today and I stumbled over this among some other trinkets from one of our USA trips. 20241005_131741.jpg It is just about the size of quarter
I have no use for it. If it is of any interest to anyone, just send me an email.

I have a friend who is looking to buy a starter equipped Touring. He'd prefer something within 5-7 hours of southwest Michigan. He likes my '26 Touring (which is not for sale) and wants something similar in terms of condition, i.e. may need a littletinkering, runs, drves, not a project.

Thanks everyone.

I've been helping a friend with information on his original 1915, and here is where I'm at. We are working on ORIGINAL throttle rods that go through the block. What I've found out is the material is 7/32 diameter, and this size was used throughout the entire Model T production. It also appears the alloy has a high nickel content, and was made from...

… I didn’t :oops: The foam crap needs to be replaced occasionally. I haven’t driven the roadster since the 2019 Covered Bridges tour where it performed flawlessly. So the other day I figured I’d wash off the dust. Air the tires and pour 2 gallons into the gas tank. Also serviced the radiator. Primed her 3 times with ignition off and she started...

I did upholstery on collector cars for 30 years. I could never understand people doing incorrect materials or patterns. Someone with a CCCA classic would inquire about doing vinyl instead of leather.

Brand new valves, modern type, from Lang's Old Car Parts (part # 3052M). Bought them for a project but ended up selling the project. All 8 valves still sealed in plastic. Includes 8 spring seat keepers (2 pieces each), still unopened in the bags (part # 3057M).

Latest project finished, started with repro brass ship's clock housings and transplanted the guts out of a 60 MPH GPS speedo, made matching faces on the computer and voila - expensive(?) looking gauges. Good enough for me.

Transmission band was re-lined with Kevlar but never used because I decided to stick with the cloth-lined band. It is in really great shape. Asking $75, and I will cover cost of shipping.
