The Jalopy Journal
Well, the first 3 guys I thought might have one of the 81A towers didn't have one. I found one on the 4th try, but it's not in very good...
Thanks for your help, Guys. I have learned a lot here, and I have plenty of things to check while I'm looking for the correct shifter tower....
F&J & Mart -- Thanks for your input. It helps a lot. Will K. -- Thanks for that info. Maybe I won't need to pull the tranny after all. :D
Clark -- You have been a great help, and I appreciate it. Per your advice, I have begun a new thread about this at:...
Howdy -- I am building a T-V8 Hot Rod, and it's almost finished. You can see my build thread here:...
OK, I couldn't wait until tomorrow. I went to my shop and checked those things and took a couple more pics. [ATTACH] There is a small set screw...

Sorry about reviving a dead thread, but I've been wondering about the dates of Thickstun head cover manufacture. The quote above is all I could...
A file worked fine for me too.
The roll of friction tape came in and I removed all the visible plastic tape from my wiring and replaced it with the friction tape. It's a tiny...
Chromed wheels with reversed rims have looked great since the day they were born! And, IMO, they need some caps, such as Baby Moons, to look...
The early "A" radiator shell looks right at home with the '26-7 body.
Manyolcars -- I believe you're right. Friction tape would be more authentic. I see it's still available, so I ordered a roll from Amazon....
Thank you, Outback. I'm not sure what "grouse looking" means in Ozzie-speak, but I'll take it as a compliment. :)
Thanks, Greg. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
That Chrysler 300 was a nice catch!
Love those tall tops on the pre-'26 T's. :)
Me too. ;) One of these days................
Thanks for the compliments, Guys. I'm sorry to say that I have no progress to report. I have been working on other folks' Model T's lately....
