Model T Ford Display

[woodland_hank]

Not sure where this fits but it has vintage tools in it so I'm putting it here. When I was in middle school in the early 80's I became interested in old cars, specifically the Model T Ford. A neighbor down the street was restoring one at that time which probably fueled my interest. In college I bough a complete chassis and accumulated numerous other parts but never actually built the car. In my late 20's I had a child on the way and was buying a house so to build up a down payment I sold off the T stuff. Well, I've found a fair amount of miscellaneous parts and memories laying around and decided to put together a display.

Nifty concept, and nicely executed, Hank.

Great looking art! Now you just need the car to go with it so you can put your picture in the display.

Last June I bought a 29 Model A pickup instead of a Model T. It's a bit more road worthy.

Cool idea using the grill shroud like that. Love it.

Really good idea for the old stuff.
Hey, what is that silver colored item to the left of the wooden Ford logo?

Rear axle roller bearing.

woodland_hank well done.

I found that roller bearing in the dump up on Washington Island off the tip of Door County, WI. The Stewart speedometer shows 9093 miles. It was made between 1912 and 1918.

Those bearings were made by the Hyatt Roller Bearing Co. The salesman who talked Henry Ford into using them was a man by the name of Alfred P. Sloan who went on to become Chairman of General Motors.
