    T for sale. Wrecked

    Bottom line. For sale, $6000 or best offer. No offers by Hagerty's deadline, they get it. I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX IT.

    T for sale. Wrecked

    Guess I need to reword. I think if someone bought it for 6000 and could fix (have it fixed) for Hagerty's estimate of 5000 it would total 11000 for a t-bucket. Sounds like a good price to me. This probably ain't a good place to advertise since just about everyone HAS a T. But...

    T for sale. Wrecked

    Yesterday Hagerty sent "estimate" to have it repaired. 5000.00. I could fab brackets, weld em and assemble. Can't afford axle or body work. That's why I'm selling it. I thought 6000 asking and add estimated 5000 would appeal to someone. 11000 for a T-bucket. So...waiting till final Hagerty $$...

    T for sale. Wrecked

    No way can I do a body off. And the fixes are beyond me $$$.Stretched it too far already. Had to fix too many things just to fix what I knew needed. Ten years ago I'd go for it and more. Now it just hurts to look at it. Too much money and time to add more .Hit TWO walls hard . I hurt.

    Cooling

    Just curious. Can you let your T just sit and idle in the garage, like your daily driver, without overheat? If so... what motor and radiator and fan. Like I said, just curious.

    headers

    ORF...gonna check that company out. Thanks! Spanky, thanks also. They don't give dimensions so that one can determine if any will work, but, the tech's at Speedway have always been very helpful. Worth a call. Monday. Hate Sundays as then problems always crop up over the weekend. Henry, those...

    headers

    The deal is, the first two headers shown run too close to the frame, don't angle toward the tires, like I want. The Lakes type require more exhaust hardware and, though OK would need a lot of chrome which now-days is $$$$ plus shipping. SO.. are any made that have a "built in" angle toward the...

    Initial timing

    Well...I see different settings but, how do you DETERMINE initial timing. I understand if it ain't right it can cause overheating ( too low) or knock ( too high). How does one Determine the right setting?

    Initial timing

    How do you establish initial timing? My best buddy, back in Michigan, does it by ear. My bro in law says to slowly advance until it kicks back on start, then back off a couple degrees. I've confirmed the timing mark on the damper is right. Now...

    King Pin Replacement Question..

    I guess a thing that adds to my wonderment is the idea the axle boss is I D machined before the welding. But...since I'm thinking of a new axle I will understand if and when I have to get my hands dirty doing the install. I have ALWAYS been an advocate of hands on. It can be painful but, that...

    King Pin Replacement Question..

    Yeah. That's the hard thing to wrap my head around. My engine block ( for example) , has cam and crank bores. Get your bearings, install them ( no honing ) then install cam and crank. It just bothers me the axle thingies aren't as friendly. I'm not arguing, just find it horse and buggy, tho...
