Thanks Guys,

Just happy to help out someone wanting to make his T better with front wheel brakes!

It's really sad to see or hear about a stash of good useable parts that end up in the trash especially when someone else can make use of them.

To each his own. I have a good friend who bought a decent '14, and he is busy removing those brakes. They really messed up a good front axle.

It's about time that someone gave accolades to Gene, long overdue.

I have referred Gene to transport at least one vehicle.

He has help me transport at least two Model T’s
that I could not get to because of limited space.

Gene is someone who - when you extend your
hand - asks how he can help you.

As I get older - folks like that are the ones
that are worth having in your life.


Thank You Gene 👋
