Model T Winter clinic McPherson KS 2024

[Afrazer]

Plenty of time to join the fun!!!

[MKossor]

Looking forward to it!

[Afrazer]

I am too. Plenty of hotels and food to accommodate. Two weeks to go still plenty of time to get your accommodations for this fun weekend with a special exhibit at our dinning Friday night

[Afrazer]

Getting closer. Will have a table or two for anyone that wants to bring a aftermarket ignition to have on display. And a reminder that we will have a different location for dinner so I don’t think we will be able to pay by card so make sure you have cash.

I will be there this year got snowed out last year.

[Afrazer]

Yes I’m hoping the weather dump today and this weekend will take care of any bad weather we could have the weekend of the clinic

[Afrazer]

One more week. Looks like the weather will cooperate this year. Still time to attend.

[MKossor]

Will have a table or two for anyone that wants to bring a aftermarket ignition to have on display.

I can bring alone an E-Timer electronic ignition and an Ideal I-Timer to display if those would be of interested.

[Afrazer]

I can’t think of any reason why not. I know I’m sure look them over

The presentations will be posted after editing on you tube on the model T tips page. Previous years are on there. Next year is already starting being planned.

It’s 35 degrees here so we brought in several of the display cars today. Here’s my father’s 1911 I drove over.

[Moxie26]

Hi Chris... Is Grandpa's 1912-1913? Buick speedster still in the family... I remember meeting him at one of the North Jersey Buick meets at a dealership back in the early '90s

[Chris Paulsen]

Bob- my father has the 1913 Buick touring that my grandparents had for many years, and I have a 1913 Buick roadster. We’ve never had a Buick speedster, but there was a 1912 and a 1913 in northern NJ at that time.

[Moxie26]

Kind of remember a yellow two-seater with the gas tank behind the seats exposed and spares behind.

[Chris Paulsen]

Sorry for the thread drift- especially to Buicks….
That sounds like the 1912 model 28 roadster that was owned by Chuck Boyer then Roger Hayden and is now in Wisconsin, I believe.
It could also be the 1913 Zinn racer, based on a 1913 model 24/25, but I don’t remember it being out or used in the 1990’s.
I’ll bet it was the 1912 when Roger owned it - probably 1996-2000.

Back to the top... Clinic in session

[Afrazer]

Yes it is. Photos from tonight’s dinner had somewhere around 80 people

[Afrazer]

More pictures for your viewing. I’ll try and snap a few more tomorrow

[DHort]

Spoke with Steve Jelf tonite. He says hello to everyone and wishes he could be here. He says for sure next year he will make it.

[Afrazer]

Hello to Steve. It will be very good to have him back home again.

[Moxie26]

Looks like everyone had an interesting and educational day. Wish I was there.

[Afrazer]

I didn’t get as many pictures today. Talked with a lot of new and old faces and had too good of a time and forgot to keep taking photos. Chili day but stayed warm inside. I counted close to 120 people in attendance. Thank you to all that worked for today, presenting and attending. It will be exciting to do it all again next year!

[dr1960]

It was another great Model T Clinic event! Good job to everyone who put in on! It was great to see a lot of Model T'ers from across the country.

[Chris Paulsen]

Thank you to all who attended. We had about 130 in attendance. We’re going to start working on next year’s clinic in a few days. We hope to see you January 18-19, 2025.

[KirkieP]

Thank you Chris
I really enjoyed the presentations by the younger people, your daughters, and the students driving to McPherson from Colorado in their Ts and A.
The Lincoln highway trip sounds like it will be a blast.
Over the last year, I have learned so much from Larry about the Model T ignition system.
It was great to catch up with Model T friends from all over the country.
Look forward to seeing you in Chickasha.

I remembered I told someone I would post the link to the video series when they got posted. Here the first one. Encouraging to show up in person for the next one. https://youtu.be/IPgM2GhNkmQ?feature=shared

[DHort]

Definitely worth watching. I believe there are 5 video's.

[jab35]

The five McPherson videos (over 4 hrs of content) are posted on Mike Bender's Model T Tips webpage. jb

[dr1960]

would love to see a presentation on rebuilding the rear axle. tips and tricks, tools required, etc.

[Afrazer]

I will pass that on to the rest of the committee. Thank you for your recommendation David!

[Steve Jelf]

I missed the last clinic due to unforeseen circumstances, so I'm looking forward to the next one. It will be another step in getting back to normal, whatever that is.
