But what is it! Model a frame and wheels? Model T roadster body and tank?

I'd love to build one !

I like it.

Looks like 19" A wheels adapted to a T chassis. It is a cool looking Ride.

Back then it was a doodle bug, today a rat rod.

I wish... the only way I've found is, open the photo, right click, copy and paste the image to paint, photoshop or some other media application. It starts to break down the larger you try to make it.

it looks very light and I bet was pretty fast in it's day, a 4 wheeled motorcycle!

Do you think it will pass inspection with only the spokes on the steering wheel?

This copy is a bit bigger. That is my favorite picture on the internet!! A real glimpse into another time.

CharlieB · 03-04-2015, 08:13 PM

Speaking of favorite internet photo's: here's mine. Well, it's got 4 wheels anyway. At least I think it does. There could be a cat holding up the left rear corner!

That's. DownEast Race car. You should know that. I as soon as I see it. I know that.

I doubt it! No inspections needed on antique cars in Maine... but they'd have to pretty original... I think you'd have to register it as a "street rod" here to run it without fenders.

I even like the canvas passenger door! the ratty seats! and probably more rust then model "T" black paint.

The first "fad" T?

That was, then called, a "jalopy".
At least it had the tank high enough, where you didn't have to back up hills !

I was referring to the lack of the ring on the steering wheel. The door is there that is the upholstery that is hanging .

I didn't even see the door before.. I know the steering wheel wouldn't pass, a guy (...or dog) could get skewered on that thing!
