Repurposing Model T Parts
Some pictures are of Model T parts and other contain parts similar to T, so you can get the idea. The idea is to use worn disfunctional parts modified to work the idea. This link has has some really neat ideas http://fordiyers.com/ways-to-repurpose-old-car-parts/
Old worn dull reflectors - could replace rivets with hook eyes for coats, hats , keys etc Could used split rim tool , cam shaft

The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

Re: Repurposing Model T Parts
I have some 26 head lights that was thinking about adding socket and mounting plates to make outside wall lights. They are too far gone to use on cars but have nice patina for rustic look!
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas!

Re: Repurposing Model T Parts
I once heard about a Montana Gunsmith who made damascus shotgun barrels out of Model T rear axles I asked Stan Howe about it and he did not know the gunsmith.
A local cider mill in Michigan has a press made from T Parts.
I have a friend who is making a pumping and operating windmill from T parts. Tower is four rails ot the frame.

Re: Repurposing Model T Parts
I went to help a friend put a 300 straight 6 to power an irrigation pump on this old trailer he had and it was obvious how it’s life began. It has the holes for the early running board brackets. His trailer for a welding machine is a T frame as well.

Re: Repurposing Model T Parts
I'm about to make a cart for a gas welder out of a Model T frame. The frame was butchered in the past and is not suitable to be used for a car.
