Hi Bob, sorry for the delay in responding I just saw your note. Send anything else to my email address karened4@att.net. I pick up my emails 3 or for times a day. I'm not sure I know how to send any pictures using this reply area so if you get no pictures and are still interested send me an email. Anything specific that you want to see? Thanks

Jim,
What would it cost to ship this car to Fishkill, NY? I am curious as to the added cost because all the nicest T's seems to be on the west coast.

Need to add a little revision to this classified. The starter isn't operating properly. Turning over the engine so slowly that it won't start the engine. It starts immediately with the hand crank on both magneto and battery and runs extremely well.

Ed. That sounds like a ground problem, which is odd for a 26 with the steel straps from engine to the frame mount bolt. You could add a temp ground wire from engine to frame to see if it helps with the cranking speed.

Ed, I forgot to mention that it is the four starter to hogshead screws/bolts that ground the starter to the engine. You could remove the one you can get to and clean it, replace screw adding a star washer for better ground.

Preaching to the choir. But make sure both of the starter switch posts and cable lugs are clean. shiny and TIGHT along with battery posts. positive and negative. ground lugs and clamps. starter post and lug as well. at 6 volts it doesn't take much corrosion to really reduce starting power and speed. a loose connection will do it every time and the faulty connection after a little starting will be warm or Too HOT To Touch. some times a previous owner has changed out the battery cable out and used a smaller gauge cable made for 12 volts. but the smaller cable robs a good portion of power needed for a 6 volt starter to work properly.

my 2 cents worth maybe less

Thanks Jim, y'now I never even looked at the size of the cable, but I think it's big. I'll do a little checking.

Here's a few more. In the fourth one, if you have a way to bring it in closer you can see one of the areas that I mentioned where the paint is scraped off. About 3" tall, just to the left of the rear window and the vertical body seam. Also a small one on the door window frame, hard to see in the picture.
