I spent the day helping with an event at the International Monster Truck Museum. A car show/ truck show. A couple of us were in charge of the moonshine race. A timed race picking up jugs from strategic places on the monster truck track. It was open to anything. Of course my T, a 25 DB, a 28 DB, and many 4x4 trucks. 20220521_092911.jpg...

Funny thing, my buddy's 59 Ford beat us all including a 650hp 64 Chevy 4x4. The 59 was bone stock except for being lowered. 20220521_134648.jpg 20220521_154421.jpg

In the Canadian province of British Columbia in 1922 they switched from driving on the left to driving on the right.

Perhaps ford switched to selling LHD cars there in 1919 anyway!

The book, Ford in New Zealand , by John Stokes, goes into some interesting detail about Canadian production. Included are a few pages about the LHD/RHD controversy.

I'm curious about what people tend to like to run their T's on. I know that today's gas is much better than it ever has been but is everyone just running regular 87 or is it worth going out of the way to find ethanol free fuel? I can do either since my carb has a drain on the bottom of it so no fuel will be sitting in the carb for extended periods...

I have a friend who just received his new Hartford tubes with rubber valve stems. He needs to know if they will fit through the wood felloe of his wheels? I know the ones made in this country ten or more years ago would not. That's really a shame too, because when Firestone and Monkey Ward were making tubes, they would fit.

I wonder if they're making the stems wider. I don't recall ever having to drill a hole to make a stem fit. Or maybe I'm having an attack of Oldtimers. :)

On my seat base, do I have the carpet correct or is it upside down? And on the shoulder panels, what all hardware is used to install them?
My car had no proper interior in it prior so I am flying rather blind.

I've only seen a picture, but I expect they're the same size as all the other metal stems currently sold. That's the Schrader 724/725 width. Original Model T stems are the narrower 777/888 size. I use the wide ones because they fit the dust covers I happen to have.

Finally finished most of the running gear and directed my focus to my roadster body - only to discover a former owner had pop-riveted patch panels along the entire length of both side of the body (firewall to back of bucket) to cover up rusted out panels and (unfortunately) a significant amount of the subframe is also rusted out or paper thin…...

That’s the one! I can’t tell you how many hours of panel beating and fitting I have into that car. An original califunny car with only cosmetic rust in the trunk and below seat area (as seen in the pics). My goal for that car was to have an “original” car with no serious issues or noticeable repairs. You would have had an excellent start...

Wayne is having trouble finding anyone that will cut & install early ford windshields for his 12 & 14 T's. Everyone he has been sent to is either out of business or no longer provides the service for flat glass. Does anyone know of someone in the Austin Texas area that will do these.

Since joining mtfca, I have seen many questions regarding wood around the interior windows of the 1926-‘27 coupe. In all that time I never responded to the question because, in the 52 years since I last saw under the upholstery, I forgot whether I had wood or not even though I do not recall ever installing wood in the interior of my 1926 coupe....

Last post

Our October 1926 coupe has wood around the windows.
I have noticed for a long time from many interior photos of gutted coupes that early cars had steel.
If you do not have the frame serial number then the best way to date a coupe body is the wood battery cover.
Typically, with photos, there is no serial number.

Today was the first time putting the top up on the 26 Touring.
I was able to get the top up but it doesn’t look right to me.
The side brackets are hanging down below the bottom edge of the fabric. Plus the edges of the fabric seem to be loose?
I’m hopping the attached pictures will explain better .

Last post

The top in the OP looks exactly like my '27. If the side bars were to move up, the brackets where the front of the top fit the windshield posts would bind and the back of the pivoting side bars would have to move downward. I think that the position of the bars is correct. I am not going to attempt to change the position on my 27.

Kevin, that is very interesting. Would I need longer springs?

New springs of the correct length, maybe. But only if the originals are noticeably bent or have lost tension. Bent springs can cause valves to react slowly, and weak springs cause poor sealing. Either can make a good motor run bad. A motor with good sealing valves will start quickly...

The devil is in the detail. I suspect it is a reproduction. The fork piece is welded to the shaft. The original rods are forged and the fork is part of that forging. The 1913 one listed separately shows the forged end of the fork.

I’ve used sea foam in modern cars religiously. Get over 300,000 miles on all cars with never a valve or injector issue. I do it every oil change and those oil changes are geared to what the dash board says, not a standard mileage reading. Some oil changes are at 15,000 mile.

I have a good sized collection of original Ford T literature, and have heard for many years, the Ford actually had a listing of Ruckstell parts in his late parts book. I finally saw an example of one of these on the Ford fix website. It is a fake to be sure, probably botched together by Polyprints back in the sixties. They even misspelled AXLE!...

It appears to me that the reprint is a collection of two documents for the convenience of owners and restorers. That is how I use it.
