1913 Model T Ford Depot Hack, Just Restored

1913 Depot Hack that was just finished at the end of last summer and attended one car show where it won trophy. Only driven around the block a few times and is ready to go anywhere. I built this car with the intention that I did not want to have break downs. constant "monkeying around" nor the usual constant tinkering that most "T's" need.   I had this one done for national tours. this car has the best of everything with over 20. 00 $ invested plus labor. plus paint shop labor. nbsp;time spent searching for pieces and shipping. Motor & Trans is 1926. Was completely rebuilt by "Ron's Machine shop  ( Known for Montana 500 wins ) cost was over $ 5000. They rebuilt every component and replaced all moving parts in engine except the crank which they turned and of course repoured the block. nbsp;Carb by Russ Potter ( NH). Has Alum intake. new exhaust manifold. nbsp;260Z Cam. Kevlar linings. Jack rabbit Clutch. nbsp; Ford low head. modified early fan with roller bearings inserted. Hogs head rebuilt with "O" rings so no leaks ! & pedals are lettered  ( C. R. B) not 26/27 wide type. Because of the larger brake drum in trans.  car is safer as it stops quickly for a T.  4 dip pan straightened on KR Jig. Roller fourth main. Has dual internal oil feeds to front bearings. Mag and magnets are reworked by "Ron's"  Coils are rebuilt and in box with KW Switch. Internal contacts and porcelains are original Ford. not repros for best contact.

Comes with a '17 block that can be modified to '13. early narrow nosed oil correct pan. nbsp;has a spare & possibly   "NOS crankshaft.  Correct front and rear ends were all rebuilt with new bushings and new Mae West shackles. roller bearings in rear end. not brass plates. hasTapered leaf springs. Front spring is new repro. the rear is mint used original. Drive shaft has FUN PROJECTS adjustable  bearing kit  and NOS U joint.  Has fabric lined accessory brake shoes. not cast iron and will stop. Rear radius rods are correct cast end type as are the brake rod supports and riveted rear end all '13 type.  All chassis sand blasted and primed and is urethane black with hardner to make oil and gas resistant. All oilers are correct brass. Battery is 6 volt 1 yr old. Rebuilt starter and all new cables/wires. All 4 fenders. hood former. gas tank. running boards. hood are new Rootlieb. Headlamps '12-'13  are new Rootlieb ( I did not paint them to change from '12 to '13 style).  Prestolite tank painted factory grey and is full of acetylene. Have Langs kit to hook up lights to it. but not installed. yet. Steering colum is all rebuilt with new brass parts and 26-27 gears for easy &  safe steering. Original steering wheel. Body is by Pleasantville Body Co. Wheels are rebuilt by the Amish in Ohio and beautiful. all wood and hardware is new . ( all 4) with sandblasted and filled rims and hubs that were nice to start with.  Wheel bearings possibly NOS. Tires of course are new. Radiator is new from "BERGS".

Lamp brass tops are perfect. Speedo is winged script. Horn is original with new LANGS tube . reed. amp; fittings. As I had intended to keep this as my own car I did it right. But as we have the American Eagle "T" racer and wife prefers to show that and we are also  looking for a '33 Ford body if any one has one available let us know to put a hi perf '51 Merc Flatie we have into. Car is dusty and a bit dirty in some shots as pictures were taken just after winter storage in a dusty barn.  This '13 draws a lot of attention where ever it goes and kids just love it !! The touring shown in one pic is sold and gone. Many small parts are either NOS Ford or repros from Langs & Bob's. Starts and runs like a dream. Safety glass windscreen.
