The Ford Barn

TonyM · 09-28-2010, 10:17 AM

Man, that is a cool roadster. You are a lucky guy. Barn Finds like that are a Ford Man's dream come true. Try and keep it as is after you get it running--that old look is too cool. Good luck.

Love the pictures of the car pulled from the barn

What a great find. It would be great if you could keep it looking as is, just get the mechanical stuff all working. I've only worked on A's but man, that looks too cool.

Make it run, and have a good time. You have a hard time enjoying a high dollar resto.
I have 4 T's, and 1 is a killer resto, with about 10 miles on it. It sits with a cover, and never gets enjoyed.

Nice find,
Eric

Thanks, only part it does not have is the decklid... Of course those are impossible to come-by. I will need to make my own or buy repop version.

I am sure that a deck lid is easier to find than finding the whole roadster. Buy a repop and then keep your eye out for an original. Have fun!

26RoadsterDriver.jpgThe old unrestored do get more attention and they drive just as nice. Good luck with your project! & Thanks for sharing your pics.

Make your own!
So you know it will fit.

26 T Roadster ................
Let us see your "T" all hosed off. What does it look like now, and what have you done to it ? Did you come up with a trunk lid ?
Thanks,
MIKE

Gumpy · 04-21-2011, 09:48 AM

I'll keep a lookout for a decklid in cali....good luck with your project!

Cider Mill · 04-24-2011, 02:55 PM

Awsome find and great pics! I also am a new T owner as of yesterday. 4 local Model T guys came over and had her running in 1 hr and 45 minutes! They say if it has compression, fuel and you can get it spark; then she will run.

Gumpy · 04-24-2011, 10:46 PM

Any new pictures on the roadster or any work done recently?

26 T Roadster · 04-25-2011, 11:18 AM

No news to report on the T. She is safe, secure and dry in my garage awaiting her turn. Finishing up my '49 kustom then I will devote my attention to her. Also the wife had me building a chicken coop (more like a chicken condo!) and has requested a barn, so my time is stretched thin.... "If Momma is happy, I am happy"

I promise that once I dig into this '26 I will post many pictures.

Richard · 04-25-2011, 11:24 AM

Good Model T

jchochole · 04-30-2011, 11:42 AM

Very cool indeed, leave her in her work clothes and enjoy the T!

Cheers,
James
