Been driving Nuthin’ Special as my daily for the ast few days of my vacation week. She’s been doing rea good average about 40 mph top speed keeps up with traffic around here very well. Today used it in the hay feilds giving guys rides out to the trucks and equipment we used to bring in hay bales. Was fun driving it around.
Carston and I went to the Branch 15 early day gas engine club swap meet on Saturday. I picked up top saddes and brackets for the top an and three of Bendix springs for starter voltage reducers. Have almost all the pieces I need to build a chopped 2 man roadster top. The last peices we need are the left and right brackets that goes thru the body and main bow is attached to. Anyone have a set?
I blew up the of muffler today .... so I straight piped her!

That is certainly one of the best ways to enjoy a Model T.
It's nice you shared with us.
Rich
When did I do that?

Awesome.
Straight pipe.
The Crappy '24 Shortbox here has had a piece of 2-3/4" drive shaft tube straight pipe since I put a real manifold on in June of '98.
He sounds so good and blows a lot of smoke rings! Lucky in the avatar is all straight pipe too. The '18 has a muffler but pulled a couple baffles out so he could be heard.
Great to hear you're using that great T regular.
Since I lost my mind mind, I feel more liberated

Top will be a 2 man folding top with canvas material and removable. Gonna probably get a small tractor muffler for it like on a 2n ford tractor can’t really stand the noise as I can’t hear the motor. Thanks for comments guys fun using as a commuter. It defiantly has nice set of bright light for night driving.

That's awesome.
T's, old trucks, little kids and dogs are happiest when they have a job to do.
