    Hey Tom! Congrats on your 27, I wish I had a body shell for mine. Good news! My dad told me we have a bunch of ancient model A or T parts out in the old grainery, only problem is that the building is mostly collapsed. I'll go out and take a cautioned look at the contents here soon, my dad...

    I'm going to get my hands on a new pitman arm, and I understand nothing is ever as easy as it seems. I found a spare steering column out of our 37 ford truck that I can use, so I might be able to use that. The vanadium steel of the frame is notoriously hard to drill, so would u-bolting the...

    wtb model T body

    Hey everybody, I'm kind of on the hunt for a T body. It can be in just about any shape, and I'm okay with a 4 door. The cheaper the better, I can do basic bodywork like replacing and fabricating new panels, so as long as there's enough left to turn into a rough speedster, I'll be happy with...

    That's going to be my new signature if it's okay with you, max. I'm the only kid in my whole school who gives a crap about old cars, an example is the one kid who swears the general Lee charger in the original dukes of hazard, runs a 454 Chevrolet. And he gets really mad if you tell him...

    I'm in almost the middle of minnesota unfortunatly. but a free motor is a hard thing to pass up! I'll send you a PM here in a few hours. And the hub adapters are very simple,, I'd have a section of thick walled tubing that'd be welded in the center of the adapter that would fit into the center...

    Thanks for the advice guys, I know my original wheels are pretty much shot now, unless I were to put quite a bit of money into them. I have access to my dad's full machine shop, he has a mill, lathe, and pretty much any other machine a person could need. Model a wheels will probably be the...

    39 rear axle and suspension questions

    Sorry if this is in the wrong section, but I just have a few questions to run past y'all. I've been told A 39 rear axle (were they still considered a banjo in that year?) was the first year of hydraulic drum brakes, and they still used a transverse rear leaf spring. What I'm wondering...

    Thanks for the welcome! I have also found a pair of '39 ford axles (front and rear) with hydraulic brakes for 100$. Is this a good deal? Will or would they fit on the T chassis? I've heard that the spring placement is different on the 39 rear axle and that it might lower the stance of the...

    Hello all, my name's Charlie. I'm 16, and I just bought myself a 1924ish T frame. I got it for 80$, and since I don't have a title for it I would like to build it into a speedster, or cycle car. URL=http://s1160.photobucket.com/user/charliericker/media/20140104_162636.jpg.html][/URL]...
