1911 Model T finished and ready to go!

All done, sorry for the lousy test drive video, I'll get a better one when the collection manager can come with me.

Nice! Good job Shawn. Great to see a project finish and work out. How far does that gravel road go??

· Sep 22

About 2 miles south (behind me) it turns to a summer only road, It goes north for about 20 miles to a cross road.

A Model T in its natural habitat!

· Sep 22

It's heading back to downtown Vancouver B.C. soon.
That's why it got Rocky Mountain brakes.

Shawn, are you doing the transport?

· Sep 23

Yup, I'll be hauling it.
Not my first choice but better than some of the cheap ideas he was coming up with.

You have an enclosed trailer or are you putting it in your pickup bed?

· Sep 23

Flatbed trailer and shrink wrap.
Never tried that method before so, technically, I'm undefeated.

@ShawnG How far of a ride do you have to deliver? Do you have to stop overnight anywhere?

· Sep 23

1700km. I'm stopping at a truck stop overnight. Sleeping in the truck.

· Sep 23

20 hours or so of travel time total not including the overnight?

· Sep 23

About that, yes.

· Sep 23

Long ride. Good luck.

Love the white tires. How did they react to the gravel road?

· Sep 22

No issues really. They're older tires now so not very worried about them getting dirty.
This guy drives his cars almost daily.

A 1911? Early or late 1911? Is that technically a "tourabout (a mostly 1910 into early 1911 model)? With short doors (unusual, but were available as after-market accessories)?
Looks very nice, and should be a fun car to drive and enjoy.

· Sep 23

It's a Tourabout. We got the Tourabout body one extra year in Canada.

· Sep 23

Before and after. Sorry, no video, too busy today.

Cut two eye holes in it and it’ll be ready for Halloween.
