Hi! I've seen wheels with pinstriping like darts, both open and closed, but not filled with color like this one. The paint is cracked and old, but it is impossible to tell how old. Do you folks know if Henry ever did it this way, or is this more likely something that happened to it over the...

Some of my model T buddies have now started their 2500 kilometers trip from Lindesnes down south in Norway, up to Nordkapp up north. I wish them good luck and happy days on the road! Unfortunately I could not join them this time, my T has not even made it to a driveable chassis yet..

Finally picked up my T. Or more correct, the remainings of something that once had been a T. The story goes like this: A friend of mine like to document old building traditions and detail quality work that was done in earlier days. This hobby of his brought him and his camera to this old...

I see from different pictures, some T's have the buzz coil located under the dash, with eight holes through the firewall. Some cars have a clean firewall, and the buzz coil seems to be mounted on the left side of the engine, probably bolted on to a bracket. Was this change of location related to...

Hi. I'm new to model T's. I've just made a deal, and will go to pick up what is left of a T two weeks from now. But I don't know where are the vehicle identification located on the T. I thought it was on the engine block. My engine has been changed, and doesn't fit the papers. From what I...

Hi! I know my A should not have had hydraulic brakes, but I also know my A is not the only one with this setup. But one thing is a bit special on mine, instead of modifying the rear 46 - 48 brake shields, they are mounted up side down. Which make them a direct bolt on. This is not a result of...

I'm taking care of my local old car clubs homepage, therefore I also do take some pictures from our club activities. From time to time an ol' Ford is showing up. I've put some of them into my new album, 'My buddies A, T and early eights'. If you'd like to see club activities in 2011 which also...

Why did one earlier owner of my A chose to wrap a piece of 155SR13 radial tire around both ends of my rear axle, under the ends of the leaf-spring- package? See picture. Only reason I can see is to prevent spring from running down into the axle housing. But would it do? I would not think so? I...

Here is a picture from my rear axle (car is not original, runs with hydraulics). I would expect the rubber cushion at the end of the arrow to run into something if the suspension were overloaded. Here it is nothing to catch it. Doesn't make much sense to me. So I think this is either some...

I'm now trying to free the brake-tube from one of the rear wheel-cylinders. (Converted to hydraulics). I've got some tools, in inches, but it seems like 1/2" is far too big, and the one next to it, in my toolbox, the 7/16" is too small. Should it be something in between there? Maybe the guys at...

Hi! I'm new to the FordBarn, but I read a few interesting writings about a leaking rear main bearing on the model A. So I understand I might get in touch with a lot of skilled and experienced model A folks here. I'm now doing a brake job on my '31 A. I've owned this car for 10 years now, but...
