I have lost my mind ( quote from wife

) Bought this 1920 Model T Chassis based on being very very complete ( minus engine) . I built a few ts over the years and have also been hooked on them , here what i just bought ( the guy delivered from Illinois yesterday ) and a video i found on my last T we built in the old 30G Hot rod shop . I drove this car everywhere to the hundred car show in Morris Illinois , it would run 65 mph all day long.

Note : The wife says i should just find the car and buy it back , save me some trouble i guess , if anyone knows where it is let me know ....
I want to build like the pic from my friend Dave Pratt , pic also shown......

video on google :::

I remember when the other Jim sinned also. But i don't think he found redemption in a model T. That 30G is perfect. It would be nice to see where it is at today. Build another. It helps keep you young. At least, that's what i am told. Good luck.

Hoping someone will see this and say my friend owns it now and really wants to sell it ?????

Me too. I am getting a 63 Split window corvette. I told my wife I am buying it for her. So I will half to sleep in the garage for a couple of days I guess.

Took these at Hershey a few years ago. Who needs to do all that fancy body work? The car had been narrowed a bit though.

Jim, can we start calling you Banger Bubba ?

I was thinking this might be a good place for the V8-60 you have and see you have been floating that idea over on the T forum. Good for you, I think wrench'in qualifies as cardio exercise. Best wishes
