Hello fellow Ford Model T lovers!

Seamus Hnat here...After nearly 10 years servicing and restoring some of the worlds finest cars at Stahls Auto Collection, I am excited to announce that I'm now opening up my home shop for full-time service to everyone in the hobby and those that we hope to attract to this wonderful hobby too! Instead of working...

Any suggestions for the beat type of paint to use to get close to original look?

Am now making flappers for the Simmons carburetors! Our prototype is complete and is working excellent! We’ve installed the carb on a 1926 model T and he results are an engine that now isles at just under 100 RPM’s! If interested message me at 412-354-2843 text only. I’ll send a video of this engine in operation! We will be manufacturing the...

Fellas, do your family & yourself a favor and fill this out.

I’m Amanda Fowler — the daughter of a classic car collector and a Classic Car Concierge.

That’s why I created this...

 
I thought I would post this here as well as in the main forum.

As many of you know, I repair meters for HCCTs (Hand Crank Coil Testers). What I do is a very small niche of the Model T hobby. I got into this because the person that was doing it many years ago passed. There was quite a gap until I was convinced (actually conned) to take up the...

Can someone recommend someone who can make a cushion like the one pictured at a reasonable price? Rough dimensions are pictured but I'm no DaVinci. Whomever does the job can use the existing cushion for more accurate measurements.
It's for my 1923 ALF Brockway Torpedo.
I'm in the Detroit area.
Thanks

OK everyone, I’m looking for something a bit out of the ordinary. I’m looking for someone, preferably on the west coast (southern half of California) who is very knowledgeable about early T’s (preferably has worked/restored one or more) who would consider taking on the task of putting one together.

When I say early this is a 2 lever 2 pedal...

Do you have to constantly fiddle with the ignition coils to keep your Model T car running properly? I can assure you this is not normal operation for a Model T Ford. Unreliable engine performance, hard starting and poor idling are commonly caused by poorly operating or adjusted ignition coils.
Over the last 35 years I have rebuilt over 26,000...

Im looking for a company in Ohio that rebuilds magneto coils. Does anyone know who they are?

I need to know if anyone knows of a company who can do a short run of special Model T dust pan to frame bolts. These were used on the early cars in the teens. The part number is 3088, and is 1/4-28 X 9/16. The head and nut are 3/8 square, and there is a cotterpin hole at the bottom. I don't believe anyone is reproducing this part.

I sold Tim a starter and he filmed a little video of how it arrived and all the surprises I include for free!

Hey all,

I am restoring my fathers 1927 Model T. I have done the work to the engine, frame, rear end, etc. The issue I have is the body. I am not an auto body person.
