    Coils

    Ok Guys. I have my old yard driven 27 jalopy. Coils are weak. All I want is 4 coils that work. You can have my old ones. I just want four working coils. I don't need performance tuned ones for extended touring. I just need 4 decent ones that will run my engine. For a rig that is nothing more...

    Steering fun

    So today we dragged the jalopy around to where the new (little) shop is being built. Towed it with my Bolens diesel tractor with my other half steering. At one point when we were making a tight left loop the steering went over center and freaked her out when it started working backwards. HAHA...

    Later Hoods and Radiators (Or not)

    I am pleading ignorance here and hope someone can help me out. For starters I am a box hood man. Give me a non-demountable brass car and I can show you where a cotter pin is out of place or a doo-dad is wrong. Newer cars are pretty foreign to me. (My cut off date is 1919).

    1909 T musings

    Years ago I got a call from a guy who knew another guy who had some T stuff for sale. Back then I was buying nearly everything I could get my hands on so I went and took a look. This fellow had a '26 Chrysler which was about the nicest original car I have ever seen. Just perfect. The body and...

    1927 Jalopy

    I finally pulled the lid off the jalopy hogshead today and got a peek inside. Remarkably the brake band is nice and fat as is the reverse. Low is predictably worn out. I was hoping of course to find all brand new bands that were perfectly adjusted. HAHA. The drums are grooved a bit but I can't...
