The Ford Barn

karasmer · 01-25-2014, 06:12 PM

Where do all the Model T guys hang out on the internet, here on the Ford Barn sure seems slow compared to the activity related to the A's. Also the MTFCI site seems rather lackluster, am I missing something? Thanks

I know in MN. all of their computers froze up in the last arctic blast. That's why I left.
Prescott, AZ. does not have this problem, but I don't see any T's here either. Must be a global thing.

Go to the MTFCA site.

This is a fantastic Model A site -

for the T - as jackdargon said -" MTFCA"
Be careful - don't mention water pumps and avoid posts about which oil to use.

OK Quinn. Please answer this one

Which oil should I used in my model A if I am going to climb Mt Washington via Tuckerman's in July?

That is assuming You can help me get the motor unstuck when it warms up in June

Too busy to post, there are Ts to be driven!

LOL! Let's get 'er unstuck first, then we can fistercuff over it, like real men do!

van Dyck · 01-27-2014, 07:28 PM

Don't have a lot of experience on the model T, but, I'm on "T" Barn almost every day!

Is it OK if we just celebrate like real men when it gets unstuck?

Steve Jelf · 01-27-2014, 09:41 PM

Jack is correct The MTFCA forum is most active. Some of those guys have been at it for sixty years and could fix a T in their sleep. Some subjects will get differing strong opinions, but that's OK. You can choose which advice you want to follow, if any.

Tudortomnz · 01-28-2014, 01:26 AM

Those guys on MTFCA Forum certainly know their Model T's & Ford Production info is better than FB Model A forum, but the site format is as quirky & odd as a Model T!

karasmer · 01-31-2014, 04:18 PM

Yes I found the site to be quirky, I tried to post some photos in the classifieds with no luck. I did get some good information when I asked though. Sure would be nice if they (MTFCA) had the same format as the Barn or better yet combine so I don't keep going back and forth, oh well maybe it's better that way, a swap meet would be no good with only one vendor.

Steve Jelf · 02-01-2014, 12:38 AM

The software for the MTFCA site is obsolete and no longer supported by the maker, so it will be going away one of these days. I expect the new format will be similar to this or MTFCI.

15max · 02-01-2014, 12:18 PM

I enjoy the MTFCA forum but the Swap Site here is much better with it's pictures for me.

redmodelt · 02-01-2014, 04:48 PM

Put you photos open to the public on photobucket or similar then put the link in your ad. I have been doing the same even when posting to the MTFCA forum. Takes way more work then needed to post a 600KB photo with all that is needed to reduce it to under 200KB for the fourm. 600 is about as small as I can get with my camera.

FL&WVMIKE · 02-01-2014, 06:15 PM

There is a great lack of activity on the "T" site.
I do not have a "T", but I do contribute to the Forum, from time to time.
Yesterday, I posted two posts, which consisted of about fifteen photos. There has been ONE (1) comment about them. It takes a lot of work to get fifteen photos onto Fordbarn, from the source. I just do not think it is worthwhile anymore to contribute to the "T" Section.

Maybe only one comment but look how many times they have been viewed.

karasmer · 02-03-2014, 11:36 PM

I was talking to someone the other day who is active on the MTFCA site and had never heard of the Ford Barn, also interesting comparing the number of posts A's vs the T's on the barn, way more activity concerning the A's. I was thinking maybe the "T" age group is an older bunch and not involved with the internet very much.
