Slim there has alway's been a model T in my life. My Dad restored model t's

It is the first car I ever drove, how many 50 year olds can say that!! (other than Chris Stapley)

Once you have driven one , you will understand how the love affair begin's

I have the first model T that my dad restored 50 years ago here in my garage

It is a 1926 touring car

The '26 '27 T roadster makes one of the best looking Track T's.

Joe so you have a roadster body you are going to use not the touring above,,correct??

34guy · MISSISSAUGA, ONT

I am going for the style of the green track T posted above , but in a traditional style

I am going to use 1940 ford front and rear axle with split bones and juice brakes.

A flathead v8 60hp with eddie myers heads , 2 carb intake with

an isky track cam ,I have most of the stuff needed , except for time and space.

I am also in search of a 1937 ford 60 hp tube axle , would really rather use that

than the 40 front axle.

34guy · MISSISSAUGA, ONT

Yes TMJ I have an all original 26 roadster ,finished car that I am going to disassemble

and use the body to build the track t . I will put the original running gear away and re body

it at a later time

Well first..Joe you were about 20 min from my place when you were at Dents..I feel rejected that never made it over here for a short hug..I am feeling rejected and will probably need some counselling to have my self esteem immune system treated with good meds.. cry

And just on Jarvis's comment on the lucky seven tube axel..I am not sure but I read a thread I think on here some where back about somebody getting one and it was not correct for some reason may be that there was two measurements or something ..Any way I am not sure of the problem It have Ragtop or Mike Lowden that had a post ...don't hold my feet to the fire on that but I sure remember a post on that subject on a 37 tube...I sort of remember they wouldn't take it back or exchange it ..Might have been the guys own fault ..I can't remember...To much sun on my uncovered Liberal Solar Panel..anyway just FYI. to cross the ts and dot the eyes..

Hey,

Ease up on that age thing, I have three looooooong year before I claim 50 on my resume...

But have been driving T's since I could reach the pedals, well sort of reach...

That was me that ordered a dropped axle for a '37 Ford from Lucky 7 and they sent a Model A axle that was way too narrow. I called them and did not get any satisfaction. I sold it at a loss.

Sharp looking car '34Guy.
My parents have an '18 T. Pretty much all original and unrestored that my great grandfather bought new.
It's been in at least four family weddings (including my own)
I'm more a fan of hot rods and customs but I love that car.
It will always have a special place in my family

The old T's really are great cars, Really cant appreciate them until you have owned one or driven one

I grew up driving and helping my dad restore them if all my cars but one had to go, The T is what I would keep!!!

Hey Chuck

I really did want to come by to see you . I got out to Dent's a little late (noon)

and had pick up a 41 chev steering column in Kitchener by 5. I am planning another trip out to see Dent in the very

near future ,as he is going to take me for a tour of some of his car resting places. I will be sure to give you a call and maybe

we can drag you along as well ,sounds like a good day to me !!!
