What have you done to/with your Model T in September?
Made a sleeve between the timer and the adjustment rod; used grease. There was that much play. (background is 60 grit)
I had used screws with a plus + in order to attach the rain gutters to the top wood and tried to hide my sins with some black silicone.

I managed to finish wrapping the wheel. Believe me it takes a while to get it right.

Haydon,
Beautiful looking paint job. Is it black?
Since you are bown under and the car is right hsns drive, I presume the body was made by Wm. Gray & Sons. I'm curious; What is the body number? It will be stamped into the wood on the seat riser in front of the gas tank cover, and on the underside of the fore-door, and one of the back doors.

Hi Keith,
It's definitely blue in the right light (a slight purple tinge in some lights).
The body is a modern repro that came with the project when we bought it in pieces from a deceased estate. It should technically be a slab side based on the 117,xxx engine number, but this is the body that the previous owner imported for it and we weren't going to throw it away (plus I like this shape).
