Re: A good start & for sale
The link says "SOLD" so I guess it is worth $750 to someone!
I think it worth more due to the value of parts which are getting hard to find. If I were building a TT I would buy it for $750 in a...

Re: Engine Rebuilders
These old trucks can be REALLY dangerous. If you will split the shipping cost you can give it to me and I will take good care of it.

Re: Engine Rebuilders
You won't do better than Ross Lilliker in College Station Tx for an engine rebuilder. Probably a 6 hour drive from Alabamer, but well worth it.

Re: Sounding like a Harley....
Mine came off several times, even when I triple nutted it. It has to do with heat and vibration. I ended up at Tractor Supply and got a tractor muffler with the correct size pipe.
It will come...

Re: Tire question
Most tire stores in the Richmond area won't touch them. I recommend Leete Tire in Petersburg. They used to have a guy named Bunny who did them all no problem, rear TT two piece rims, split rims,...

Re: Rear brake lights
Are you keeping your car period correct? If so my solution won't help. I like period correct, and it is great on a seldom driven car. I drive my cars a lot and safety is the overriding factor for...

Re: 1926 Ford Model T Battery
My first T had not run for 10 years when I got it. I bought a new 6V battery from Advance Auto, then replaced the cables and starter switch. The starter wouldn't crank. So I removed the Bendix and...

Re: Model T as a daily driver
Safety is relative.
A Model T is not as safe as a modern car that has air bags, seatbelts, structural body strength, anti-lock braking, etc. etc. Neither is a motorcycle. Safety is up to the...

Re: Wood spoke VS wire spoke rims
