Can these caps be disassembled to work out dents in the top and then re-assembled?

Thanks for the update-- glad it worked out for you!

Joe, Thanks for the update— I was wondering what you had found out and lots of times people forget to share a follow-up to let us know how something works out.

Beautiful TT but I did have a little laugh about the combination of the cowl lamps and the fuel tanker.

Brent-- thank you for the perspective from your side of the hobby/business. We all need to consider what it takes for us to have the parts needed to restore our vintage cars and keep them on the road.

For what it's worth... at least that's IMHO, LOL!

Which wheels are you running?

Rick, I have some door latches that could use a refresh-- where did you find the springs? What is the wire size and diameter that matches the original (I haven't tried taking my latches apart). Thanks!

Jerry, do you know what rear axle was used for your home brew T? If so, I would do some checking to see if the rest of the modified chassis parts came from that same vehicle.

If you have a Harbor Freight nearby you might try their wheel dollies (part number 67338). They’ll work to get it loaded and make it a lot easier to move around your shop once you get it home.

Okay. Do let us know when you are able to make further progress. Any thoughts on top “decoration” (script, name, etc.)?

Interesting project! Any progress since your last post?

In that case you might just focus on saving up money and use your upcoming class to gain skills that will be helpful when you are able to get a project. The curved-dash Olds project would be a good practice run for an actual antique car, T or otherwise.

Re: Model A “ Head Light “ That's cool! Hmm, I have the parts to do a Model T version...

Do you know anyone with an antique car? Even if it's not Model T-era they may know someone who is a T owner. From there you might be able to connect with someone who has a pile-o-parts or parts car that they would be willing to sell cheaply. With T's you can piece a car together from lots of...

Since you live in a rural area, ask the farmers if there are old vehicles in the fencerows that you can haul off (with your parents' permission of course!). You might be able to get an interesting project for free or make a trade to do some work in exchange. That's how I got my first Model T...

GZ, thanks for the first-hand info because that is something that I have wondered as well. Both my windshield stanchions and frames have rust issues and I have wondered about the quality of the reproductions.

Which style/size of spark plugs are you planning for your design?
