I am beyond livid right now trying to correct what IMHO is nothing more than poor craftsmanship on a set of nearly new reproduction Dog Leg Top Sockets. The issue is they bend because of incorrect gauge metal and poor craftsmanship. The first three trips the vehicle went on, it came home with bent sockets during transportation. Each time, I...

Helping sell a 1920s Autokamp trailer for an estate.
A few of you might remember This was posted a while back by Bushmike. It’s now ready to go to a new home.

I am considering buying a T chassis from someone in Chula Vista, CA. I was wondering if there is anyone traveling up to the Bakersfield Swap meet that would be willing to help transport a Model T chassis. If so, we can discuss what would make it worth it for you. I still trying to work details out with seller.

I was breaking down an early transmission/flywheel assembly and got a little surprise.
One of the magnets came off in two pieces!
It looks like it's an original assembly as indicated by what appears to be the original lock wire.
There was no indication the magnet was broken.

Yup - They're out there.

I’m looking to put together a reliable engine together with an oil pressure system, drilled “C” crank, and a Roof 8 “Liberty” head.

This is a set of cast iron stops that mount to a T front axle. I’m guessing the idea was to keep the spindles from going over center.

There looks to be a manufacturer name cast in them but I can’t make it out.

I’ve never seen another set like this before. Would make a really great addition to any Model T accessory collection.

I am trying to find out any information on Curt Austin (I believe out of Roscoe, IL) and his vehicle restorations. His name keeps coming up (in passing) in connection with some high-end restorations, but nothing more than it was restored by Curt Austin. If anyone has any information that they might be able to offer I would be greatly appreciative.

About 25% of early Ford sales information survived in the Accounts Receivable ledger books at The Henry Ford, Benson Library. Trent Boggess tirelessly entered the data by hand (thousands of records) into a database included with Carl Pate’s (RIP) Early Ford book.

However, reviewing the actual ledger pages and entries provide additional...

Ford Motor Co. began selling cars in July 1903. The company experienced immediate success, and sold almost 200 cars by the start of their first full fiscal year, beginning October 1, 1903. The Electric Vehicle Co. wasted little time initiating a law suit. This author indicates the suit is expected to last for years. He was right.
