Pat, this is really inspirational. I think this is better use of the left over T parts than if you'd just built the model T outright. Original, well executed and classy.

Really nice, and just getting better and better. Now I know what to do with a least a couple of those old Ts I've had lying around, other than making old airport and depot hacks out of them. :)

A little more done. This seems to be the slowest project ever. I got the radius rods and brackets done, the brake actuators and linkage and what's better for cooling than a real soldered copper radiator? Well at least a real copper tank top cover that's brushed with flux and solder - I won't tell anyone it's not all copper if you don't.....shhhhh!

Well, I finally have it finished........I think. There may be some small touches that appear and bug me, but it feels like it is done.

After my last post I made a crankcase breather ( which I had forgotten to do), a hood out of aluminum roof flashing (which was a project by itself ) and a belt with buckle to hold it on at speed and a pushbar. Then I put it together..........slowly.......it was more difficult than I had ever anticipated and was an uphill slog the whole way, but it came together. I almost threw in the towel a couple of times and stuffed it back in a box I have to admit. I tried more and more difficult things than I ever have before - which I blame all of you for (lol).

Anyway, I appreciate and welcome any and all comments, observations and suggestions you may have.

Here's the proof:

Thanks everyone who watched and commented.

Charlie, I will try to get there.........it's a long haul for me, but I do want people to see it.

I'm about halfway there, if you want to meet up- happy to drive.

I remember a couple of times at my FSC days that I had to go to Taunton after classes for DeMolay stuff. I was able to do it in just over an hour, so it's not too bad.
