My observations regarding all this talk about axle/gear clearance & varying fits. I have worked a lot of these axles/gears. Parting out rear ends & salvaging unloved iron one step away from scrap. I only save the good parts. Must have 40 excellent gears taken from bad axles & 20 excellent axles removed from bad gears. In working with original Ford...

I believe that is correct. The side bolts only need to be tight enough not to rattle. The 1/2 hole in the blocks is larger than the OD of the bolts to allow slight movement. The blocks also have clearance between the top of the block and the upper frame flange. //I had some concern about how tight I had to get the side bolts to allow placing the...

We ALL learn from things like this. Glad you solved it.

If the owner is willing to give factual information and a history of what he knows about the car I would want to give a good offer. Knowing the time and cost to restore a T in this era would be something to think about. It’s not cheap. Roadsters and Tourings in the brass era will always be desirable. If it’s drives good and wouldn’t have to have...

My two cents on what it takes to use an aluminum radiator ,all I did is move the output and input spouts andmove the mounting tabs lower, and put on a dowel attach to the steel rod to attach the cowel.
And I learned how to weld aluminum that day too! A man at my church is a professional welder and was able to teach me.

No one is going my direction, not too unusual though. 2 cures. Make your own belt from an old leather waist belt (holds up your pants!) using 3 strands of bailing wire to hold it together. That process got me from Kansas to Missouri and back to California and a few more years of regular driving many years ago when my fan belt disintegrated on one...

thank you John

I had considered that it might be an early variant, but honestly, since this is the first I've really looked into it carefully, I wasn't sure exactly what I had. What you mention makes perfect sense. I had never had occasion to pay enough attention in 15 years to even notice it before. If I hadn't gone out to measure the location...

Mike at Classtique, supplied me with interior and top for my 1924 touring. Excellent quality, easy to install and if I had questions, a quick call and he straightened me out. Good place to do business with!!!!

I just drove 1,100 miles to get my new 22 runabout pickup (whose name is “Burt”) and dropped it off at the freight company to ship to Alaska. The picture is a snap of a video I took just before they rolled him into the container.

He has not been driven in a few years so there is some tinkering to do, but once it gets to Anchorage in a week or so...

The clean, orderly bolting together of bright, shiny, newly painted parts exists only in my fantasies. It's been a mind boggling assembly process. Obviously the best way is to have the body work done first, then refit everything, then remove everything, have it all painted and then reassemble. Oh well, the first scratches and are already done so...
