This may be a re-post from some time back, but I have to say that if I had a bit more time and money, I'd like to build one of these.

With my dad being a Model T nut, I started one 23 yers ago, and it stalled when I bought the Sprite when I was 15. The chassis, with rebuilt '23 motor, is dissaembled in my parents barn.

Somewhere around here I have the plans I drew up for the body (amazing the ambitions I had at 13). I scan them if I come across it.

Here's a great T Speedster that the owner (who I know) runs in rallies. The Model A ran in the Great American Race, too.

If you like Model T's, you are bound to like the Tillamook County Pig N Ford races.

The racers must pick a pig out of a box, crank the stripped down T, jump in, and drive a lap while holding a pig under one arm. After one lap, the racers stop, turn off the engine, and get out. They must drop off the pig in a box, get a new pig, restart and race one more lap. The first to stop and put the second pig in the box is the winner.

The IRL should consider this as a way to enhance the excitement. Tillamook County has been doing this for 79 years.
