My first post here- I just got my first T. It's a '21 Touring car. It came with a freshly rebuilt engine, new tires, new seats, new top, new front fenders, new splash aprons, new running boards, new passenger side rear fender, new grill shell, and new steering wheel. I'm excited and looking forward to getting it going.
I don't know why a previous owner put the mid-teens hood former on this car. I have removed it and will sell or trade it. I am missing a few essential parts. Missing includes the timer, the crank pulley, the clutch hub for the crank handle, the pinion gear, the hood, the top bows, the starter foot switch, and the coil box lid.
It took 5 weeks to get the car home after I found it. I was so pumped up about getting the car that I began posting on another site , with a lot of questions. Another user on there pointed out that I posted 60+ times in 3 weeks. I don't intend to do that here. I will use the search function before asking a question that may have already been ask before.:o
 
My car was probably a non-starter and generator car originally. It has oil lamps and non-demountable wheels. The starter, generator and battery were probably added later. We love it.
 
Looks like a great car! And don't worry, ask questions. It is refreshing to see enthusiasm for these great old cars!
 
I just discovered that the address and phone number for the Model T Ford Club Inc International given on their website is here where I live in Hudson NC. I know who's number and address it is. Though I don't personally know him. Small world , huh?
