1911 to early 1913 frame. No heavy rust pitting, just has some surface rust. Front and rear crossmembers look to be in good shape and I don't see any cracks around the center holes. There is an old patch repair on the passenger frame rail. It looks like there was either a crack that was welded up or...

The swap meet is basically a free for all. It would be impossible to organize the vendors. Especially since a lot of vendors sell parts for all types of antique cars. That’s what makes the Hershey experience so much fun! I would suggest to just bite the bullet and pay to park in the grass field acro...

Here is another one I’ve never seen before. While digging through an old Model T parts stash, I noticed the rear spring perches on these axle housings. Someone must have been tired of oiling them!

Scott, I love your disclaimer for some of the viewers!

I was digging through an old Model T parts stash and I came across this fan. It’s always fun to see what people came up with to keep their T’s going!

Nice work! I really like the jig for the running board brackets.

Getting those brackets straight is definitely the first step in getting all of the sheet metal lined up.

Take Adrian’s advice. Find an older model smart phone that someone no longer uses. If you ask around you can probably find someone that would just give you one. You don’t need a SIM card or to activate it with a cell phone provider, it will just need a wifi signal to download whichever app you want ...

Always glad to see when someone steps in to continue the support of parts for our hobby.

I found the best insurance for my Model T electrical systems is to remove the generator and cut out completely.

None of my T’s have generators and I haven’t missed them!

Really great idea Eric!

Radiator shell is sold.

Here is a nice 1926-1927 nickel plated brass radiator shell. It still has some original plating on it but would also be a great one to have replated. It has one small ding and some scratches along the front and a couple wear marks around the hole for the radiator neck. This one has no splits up the ...

280 degrees! Wow!

A new radiator is a lot cheaper than another engine rebuild.

I believe switching to the new coolant is fixing a symptom and not the problem and it will eventually cause a new problem.

Especially if you want to mainly see Model T history and your time is limited. While the other two places are nice, in my opinion, they are more ...

Thank you Trent for explaining the history behind the metal straps.

That is very interesting!

Hubs are sold.

I agree with Jerry V. Your pot metal cylinder is missing a couple small chunks above and below the key slot. Try pulling the key out slightly. It may be going in to far. Far to many times the reproduction keys are incorrectly blamed for not working when the 100 year old, worn out, swelled, and gumme...

If the key is a loose fit in the axle key way, the only way to fix it is to replace the axle shaft.

Craig,

Thank you! I'll take them!

I am looking for brake drums for 1909-1925 Rocky Mountain Brakes. These are the drums that fit over the stock Ford parking brake drums.

I once dropped a stainless steel cotter pin inside the transmission. I could see it but I wasn’t able to reach it. I ended up having to take the hogshead off. I then stuffed a rag between the flywheel and the oil pan on the left side and slowly turned the engine over with the hand crank and the rag ...

Thanks Wayne, it was fun to do!

A while back I stumbled upon this old postcard of a street in our town with a Model T parked on the side of the road. I had to wait for just the right time when there were no cars in the way so I could park my Model T in the same spot to try and duplicate the picture. It’s neat to see what has chang...

My original touring was built in the beginning of the second week of June 1913 and it has them.

I keep my paperwork for my Touring in a vintage metal Ex-Lax tin and use a couple of small magnets to stick it on the front seat riser on the driver’s side just below the seat spring.

Chris,

Thanks for posting the great video!

I have a question, at about 1:20 you made a right turn and pushed a hand brake lever forward with your left hand. Is that connected to your auxiliary brakes?

Hey Dave! Try switching a couple of the LED bulbs for good old fashioned incandescent bulbs and see how it acts.

If it is an original switch and has the later type key which is two sided with a slot on one side, you should have a number stamped on the front of the barrel of the switch.

Have you checked the front crossmember for cracks around the hole where the spring tie bolt sits? I've come across several frames that were either cracked or repaired in that area.
