1916 Model T

[ldroa]

I am looking to purchase a set of plans to make the wood parts for the body of a 1916 Ford Model T Touring.

Any idea where they can be purchased?

Plans are out there.

Model T specialized forums are best for this inquirey.

 

I have old plans for the late '23-'25 runabout known as the "Miller" plans. 

But that won't help you unless you aready have some knowledge of early T Ford wood body contruction and can transpose the info to a 1916.

 

The best plans out there are decent but by no means 100 accurate or complete in every detail but you have the basics..

Do not expect something offered with full size patters for all peices.

 

The plans are generally vauge about all the little metal bracing and brackety for joining various things.

 

Often details  like these metal wood joining parts are left out also the alternate variations used in contruction of some bodies are not included.

 

Try searching with wording including "Miller" plans...Most popular.

 

Good luck.

You can buy a complete new body if you are so inclined.  Might be less effort and a better use of your time unless you are a good woodworker.  

You might want to go over to the Model T Club forum for more help here and go to Forums at the top of the page.

There were multiple manufacturers of T touring bodies in this era.........similar but certainly not identical. The T club will be your best bet. They have a very active forum.
