Mr. Jelf is an incredible asset to the hobby and the Model T world. He calls himself the Dauntless Geezer and offers video and other instructions to many Model T tasks in a simple way. He took us along on several adventures driving his '15 Runabout to meets and shows. He will tackle this...
Thanks for the nice words. I do enjoy painting. I get requests for commissions but don't usually get around to doing them. If anyone would like to make a copy of any of these, I can email a larger jpg file if you let me know where to send it.
