Re: 1914 Model T touring
Before I send the carcass to the paint shop, I pulled the gas tank and polished the sediment bulb.
It was painted black for some reason. |

Re: 1914 Model T touring
I have reason to believe that this may be a picture of the guy who sold the car to the previous owner from whom I purchased it. If that's correct, his name is J. Allan Saunders from the Darien, CT area.
Anyone familiar with the name? Recognize him from a tour or Hershey? He would have owned the car 45 or 50 years ago. Last edited by jesselashcraft; 10-13-2016 at 01:33 PM. |

Re: 1914 Model T touring
Went to Ron's to visit my motor yesterday. Should be picking it up in the next week or so.
We painted it Ohio State colors (scarlet and grey) so my sister's children will still talk to me. |

Re: 1914 Model T touring
While I'm waiting for the carcass to return from the paint shop, the train whistle that I removed from the car had a broken butterfly valve I didn't think I could fix and looking at the advertisement for Aermore from 1924 I found on Ebay, the "t" that splices into the exhaust pipe is missing a piece anyway so I decided to just mount the thing on a stick. The car has two horns on it already. I thought if this turns out nice, I'll display it in the house. If not, I'll leave it to collect dust in the shop (as opposed to collecting dust in the house).
I've been working on it for months mostly learning how to cut a presentable freehand dovetail joint. Two of the caps of the brass tubes were missing so I bought a couple 1914 quarters on Ebay (the year of the car) to plug the holes and decoupaged the Fulton advertisement to the back. The base is beautiful African padauk hardwood that's somewhere between an orange and red hue. The upright is ash with a piece of yellow pine to beef up the mounting point and provide a color contrast to accent the padauk. I used copper to represent the exhaust pipe. |
