Model T Engine Party in MN

[Lvnmarks]

My Model T is turning 100 next year and thought it would be a great time to replace some gaskets and get the motor tightened up.

I have to pull the engine and break it down to have it rebuilt this winter. It is a fairly straight forward job but thought I would throw out the invite. Any one is welcome to come over and help/learn or just drink my beer and hang out.

I have to pull the radiator, fire wall and engine. Break them down and bag & tag the parts for restoration.
I will be doing this the only free weekend I have in the next month, the 26th & 27th of October.

If you are interested please feel free to PM and I can give you my contact info.


Like I said food and beverage will be provided.

Why do all you people live so far away

 

[driller]

Exactly, that sounds like a good time.

Sorry, it's only a 20 hour drive.

Will do, It's the only progress thread I can afford right now!

Oh... only 20 hours? I'll have Joe pick me up and drive me there... I'll pay him in alcohol currency! :big-grin:

This is the best idea I've heard all week!

I'm sure we could probably do it in 15...

As long as my garage door is fixed I still plan on working on the T this Saturday. Try to start turning wrenches by noon at my house.

All are still welcome and food will be provided/drink will be provided. I'm guessing it will only take 2 hours to pull the engine but longer to eat and drink everything so come prepared.

Pictures will follow...

I live 3 minutes from the airport so now you have no excuse for not flying in

 

[fastmark]

Eric I think I might come out saturday. IF I come let me know if I can bring anything! Food! Beer:thumbsup:
Oh yeah, PM me your address. Mark

 

[tixer]

I'm pretty sure I can be there also.

 

[Lvnmarks]

Awesome! A co-worker and Slowmkviii said they might be available part of they day as well.

Don't worry about food, I can bring home some things from work and I'll get some beer if there is an interest.

My garage door is finally fixed and I will be cleaning it out tomorrow night to get the T in there. It will be heated as well (if it's needed)

Address PM'd

Sure, pretend it's a meet to get free help Wish I could, but I probably can't. Not like I'd help anyway.

 

[Lvnmarks]

Not like I'd help anyway.

We always need supervision!

 

[Lvnmarks]

Got the garage clean and some what organized. Decided to just haul the car here tonight.

 

[Lvnmarks]

Tearing her down...

 

[Lvnmarks]

Things like to stock after 100 years.

Got it all out last night and the car is back in storage for the winter. When spring comes I should have the motor done and I will do some cleaning and touch ups on the body.
