Here's some photo's I just took. The car is pretty solid with rot only on the driver side bottom. My pal threw the T on his trailer and headed to my house which is only 5 miles away. About 5 minutes later he gives me a call and says one of the rear wooden spoked wheels blew apart and the T almost bounced off the trailer! He's a kidder and at first I didn't believe him, sure as **** the rear of car actually bounced over the trailer wheels and was balancing on the pumpkin! There was no damage just a little extra firewood for the upcoming months. Pete-
Found a few more details on the car. It's a '25 slant window model, all of the tires were replaced before it was put on the roof...too bad though because they do have signs of cracking. Pete-
i enjoyed hearing about this on sunday. i am surprised you got it down so quickly. cool little car. incredible that it's so well preserved after being outside, up on a roof for so long.
With the car only being 5 miles from your house, How many times have you driven by it thinking about getting it down and hot rodding it?
Cool score! However, do you know how many old-timer locals will have to adapt the directions they give? "You'll go past a building where an old Model T used to be on the roof" just isn't going to have the same zing.
Henry, Every time I drove by the car I thought that. It is kind of strange not seeing the car there any more, I used to look at it and daydream about what I would do to it if I had it. Pete-
Cool Pete! Now your in our "T" club!!! Love them early style go job's... good luck! Hopped up A or B would be cool... maybe a little V860 or 21. Them T pedals are real fun...
Pete, How ya been man??...The coupe turned out f@cking amazing...It still blows my mind to think of it the last time i saw it in the shop....Nice 'new' score....Cant wait to see what you do with it...Talk soon..Tom
Son of a gun! That is just waaay too cool. That's inspiring me to get mine out of mothballs and on the road.
Rat, Damn, its been a long time...how are the projects coming?? Vespa, Wow, very nice, looks super clean. Pete-
hahah I had my T out too... Pete, that rear aint standard. Looks like some 2 speed? What are you doing with the T parts??? Keep me in mind please....
SWEET!!! That thing has a 2 speed Ruckstell rear end. Very NICE for original drive train. You can get it up to about 60 mph!!! forget about stopping! Let me know if you need anything!!
Some good ideas here, I really like the Aldrich T. Horton, looks like an A ch***is under yours. I was thinking the same thing on mine because I was going to remove the T front and rear and plop A stuff in there anyways then flatten the front crossmember. Pete-
Well....sad to say I sold the T today.....Just didnt have time and im going to start building my new garage soon. It was pretty sad to see her fade off into the sunset. Pete-
