  1. Are these parts still available?
  2. This is just the type of information that we're looking for. I will forward this to my friend. Thank you very much.
  3. I have a friend that is thinking about using this company for a car they own. I have been asked to inquire if anyone on this site as any experience with this company. The company is Hodge Mopar Restorations in South Carolina. Thanks.
  4. My wife, my brother and sister in-law and myself, went out for a beautiful days drive in our Model A's.
  5. The front fenders and grill have a Brewster look to me.
  6. I wonder if an agricultural or construction vehicle tire shop could fill the existing tires with foam? You then would never have to worry that they will go flat. I also have a 1955 large Dodge truck and was wondering if there is a company that could remove the wheel centers and mate them to a more common 19.5 inch wheel.
  7. The last weekend in October, my wife and I, along with 3 other couples, drove our Model A Fords to the mountains of North Carolina. We stayed at a beautiful bed and breakfast, highlighted by the backdrop of amazing fall colors. Each day we drove the cars to small towns nearby and as far as Tennessee and Virginia. It seems everywhere we drove, people smiled and waved. As for the eight of us, we love driving the cars and seeing the sights, but without a doubt the best part of the trip is the friendship such an adventure brings. We eat together, laugh and pray together, share life events and most importantly, plan our next Model A trip. Ultimately, the joy comes from being with like-minded good friends!
  8. I would invest in a set of better jackstands and get rid of the cinder blocks. I realize it's not a heavy car but there is not a lot of strength in that set-up.
  9. I know this is out of the norm, but when I lived in Florida I noticed quite a few Checkers being owned personally as daily drivers.Thinking outside the box, but they were known to last.
  10. I'm looking for a low good low radiator for a 1923 Model T Ford.
  11. Thanks a lot. I looked but never was able to find the thick felt and ended up using several thin layers.
  12. I've been on the Volkswagen site the samba, and read a question about Blaze cut, actually an interesting extinguisher system.
  13. Bloo I read that test you made a year or so ago and changed my model a to the Zerex, and found it to work much better than the green I was using. I recommend reading your test to anyone that asks me an antifreeze question. Thanks
  14. I'm going to Luray and Beardsley cider mill in Shelton,Conn. first time for both. I'm looking for an nos or nice original paint left front fender for a 1923 Ford touring. I hope to see you all there.
  15. Another cure for leg cramps. i know to some it sounds terrible, but it works fast. A large spoonful of regular yellow mustard.
  16. I agree with Terrill Machine. I used them in the past for a 1953 Plymouth, fantastic work, great people.
  17. Go to the Model T Ford Club of America website, they will be able to help you.
  18. The way I read the question was that he only needed a 3/32nd ring, not a whole set, plus it might be good information for someone else reading this thread.
  19. Try this. I found this on Smokestak. OTTO Gas Engine Works Piston Rings For All Engines 2167 Blue Ball Road Elkton ,MD 21921-3330 410-398-7340 Otto@ringspacers.com PISTON RING WEB PAGE
  20. There is a guy in Canada that has a couple of Lombards, and he uses them to haul Cat Trains. kingofobsolete.ca He may be able to help also.
  21. I have used Terrill Machine, and their work is great. The owner loves Model T's, and drives them.
  22. Thank for your recommendations - we have a shorter, wider belt on there and it seems to be running nice and true. See below! Thanks for all the help.
  23. Thanks again for the reply's. When it was apart I trued up the mounting bracket on the surface grinder, and made a bushing for the shaft, so I know that is square to the front of the engine. I was going to crown the upper pulley, but there just isn't enough material to do that. The owner of the car doesn't want to remove the lower pulley unless absolutely necessary. The next thing we're trying is a wider belt that will fit between upper pulley runners.
