1923 Roadster

[lmitch]

This is a great story. Please keep it original. My cousin had a pickup we used to ride on back in the 1950,s. Great memories.

Keeping it as original as possible. Went with Ash wood for all the body support parts. Gonna paint it black like original. Will be cleaning up the original hickory spokes then clear coat. Now collecting all the electrical parts for the 6 volt system.

Partially rebuilding transmission. Next is Carburetor.

At least everything is mechanically simple and hopefully parts are easily available.

Have been able to find almost everything through suppliers. They are four major suppliers and if one is out of stock, then one of the others generally has. The only thing I haven't been able to purchase is pedals. The cam was badly worn on one, so I'm welding it up and grinding down to fit the mating cam.

Bought this yesterday. When we saw this at a car show yesterday, I told my friends of my childhood memories of riding in one just like it with my now deceased uncle. It was not for sale. The guy had it at the show looking for parts. We bumped into the owner and I told him of skinning my knees jumping off the running board. He asked my name and everything fell together. This was my uncle's car. It has been stored in a barn for almost 50 years.

Any Model T fans here? I need some restoration resources/books/contacts.

If you run into him again, please get his number. I haven't spoken to anyone locally that is "into" Model Ts. I doubt millennials even know what they are.

Not mine. That is John's 68.
