A few more shots
The shot of the engine is from a while back also I recently coated the sheet metal with linseed oil to protect it from the rain and occasional mag chloride spray, not much paint left on the old truck. The first shot is at a local car show, the little gals really liked the T, I find that women and gals of all ages like the T a lot, sometimes going out of their way to come say hello and or talk to me about it. These two had a lot of good questions considering their age. Their dad was reserved, did not say much.

Those light green front wheels hung on the wall of our back porch for years. I am sooooo glad they didn't get dipped and stripped and hung in a restaurant (or on a T) I have six coffee cans full of rusty nuts and bolts. Even though the hardware store is a 25 mile round trip it would be way faster than the time I take to use old nuts and bolts. There is just nothing worse than a bright cad plated bolt placed in a bracket or otherwise in a 'barnfind' vehicle. You might as well use a blue connector in the wiring.......

GB thanks for those wheels. They were in pretty good shape. I had to "tighten" spokes and install new bearings but they have been working well for while now. I plan to scrape them down like the rear wheels so that they match. I agree on the nuts and bolts. It is becoming more difficult to find that old hardware.
