Maybe with time the Ford Barn T section will catch on and there will be more participation and I am hoping that some of you will pick up the ball and start adding to this thread. So again share your thoughts on were you think that we should go with this thread. Thanks for visiting....T-Head |

Re: Model T Racing Thread
I love this thread
Can't contribute much myself, not much T speedster/racing history to be found in Sweden. Might contribute more when my speedster project has progressed further. I liked the story about the Lompoc Model T club (post 132 onwards) Wonder if there's someone reading who lives close by? Walt and/or Myra Manfrina might still be around, perhaps with more of the story or more photos ? http://www.lompochistory.org/user/bravetalk%202004.pdf (page 6) Likely the club ended with the war, but maybe some of the members were a part of the model T restauration hobby later in life? |

Re: Model T Racing Thread
Two cars with men gathered around at the Auto Show of 1916 in Rochester NY. The name F.W. Williams Son" appears across the side of one car both of which are Model T. Fords. Being in the sheet metal business they could have built these bodies?? RMSC Photo

Re: Model T Racing Thread
The center of that axle is not by Ford. Look at the flange where the two halves come together. The flange doesn't have the usual "bumps" where the bolts go through and the reduced flange diameter in between the bolts. The flange instead is a constant, uninterrupted diameter unlike a Ford.

t-head . . . . . . . . . .
I hope that you can keep the thread going. I think, the thing is, just not very many people have information that they can contribute. I LOVE your thread, but I just do not have anything that would be worthy. That stuff you got, is scarce ! Don't worry if you are about the only one contributing. Keep it going ! MIKE |

Re: Model T Racing Thread
This is my Mercury Speedster, a work in progress. "Minnie" is named after my grandmother. I will look through my files for Chevrolet Mercury photos.

Re: Model T Racing Thread
In response to any books available on speedsters I have developed 2 CD's which are currently available. One is entitled "Speedster Bodies A to Z" and contains 400+ pages of original ads and literature from about 80 companies that sold speedster bodies' The other CD has about 350 pages of speed equipment catalogs such as Craig-Hunt, Laurel, Frontenac, Rajo, Green Engineering, Gallivan and others. Either CD is available for $23.00. Email me if you are interested.

Re: Model T Racing Thread
Scott I was able to find this from an advertisement in the Sept. 2009 Hemmings by doing a Google search of him.
In studying the picture of the head it appears to me to be a Rajo BB head that he made an overhead cam and drive set-up for. Perhaps someone from the midwest knows more about him? Last edited by t-head; 06-12-2011 at 10:59 AM. |
