And here I thought the full sized cars are small! That's cute!
Since I lost my mind mind, I feel more liberated

Re: Jeff left his Model T out in the rain
Seems like if he started off too fast, he might do a wheelie causing the T to go all the way on its’ rear. A roll bar might not be a bad idea. Is there a drive shaft of does the transmission hook directly to the differential?

Re: Jeff left his Model T out in the rain
Somewhere in all my junk? I have the driveshaft out of a car very similar to that one. It came to me on a Ruckstell many years ago, which eventually went away on one of the too many cars I had to sell over the years.
The driveshaft from the tip of the pinion gear treads to the front face of the square end for the U-joint is just about a foot long! I used the short torque tube ball end to replace a badly damaged ball end of an otherwise nice standard torque tube. And of course used the good pinion bearing in another rear end that really needed a good one.

Re: Jeff left his Model T out in the rain
Reminds me of a Shriners car. Didn't a company make a Model T Shriner Car, caled a Tiny T? or something like that. More of a glorified go cart.
The OP's car would certainly fit in a much smaller enclosed trailer than a standard T. I'm having a very difficult time finding an enclosed trailer for my WWI ambulance with a 81" height, fixed top. The OP's T will fit inside the back of a pick up, probably.

Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?
A bunch of old cars
Sometimes they run.
Sometimes, they don't.

That car used to belong to Laurel and Hardy. They got stuck between two streetcars!

Re: Jeff left his Model T out in the rain
If you back up some, it looks a LOT longer! OR, it could be a REALLY FAST Model T. Einstein proved that things get shorter, the faster they go. That applies to light speed, but I assume that Model T had his lights on, and therefore the effect was visible. Either THAT, or because just shut up!
