Model T Ford Ute

[Keith_1]

Hi All,

Today I fitted the feed lines from the acetylene generator to the headlamps. I made a Tee piece out of aluminium so I could branch off under the chasis and feed the driver side headlamp. I used co-axial cable as the acetylene feed lines. I used 10mm HPM cable clips painted black as the feed line clamps. I placed antislip rubber matting on both the passenger and driver side access on the running boards.

It just keeps getting better and better

Seeing as how you used coax cable, does that make them signal lamps

I know that this might seem a bit early but I will say it now and I will most likely repeat it later, well so be it.


It has been a great thread to follow. Really interesting aspects of all sort of things that come up in this work in progress.

+1 on those sentiments Christos.

Keith - congrats you on a wonderful build and a great thread.

Thanks to all with these kind comments. It's been great fun so far. Nearly finished. Working on the rear bumper and then I am looking at some detail scrolls (in gold) around the cabin doors. I am really looking forward to starting my Stephenson's rocket in the near future, but may have to do a bit around the house - to keep Cathie happy.

Regards

I probably enjoyed this thread as much as you have enjoyed building it. I will be kinda sad when it is complete.

Thanks mate - appreciate that, but I think Stephenson's Rocket will be a bigger challenge and I will go into a lot more detail. Thanks again.

Before I finish the ute - I was wondering whether it should have a tonneau cover to protect items carried in the back. What do others think ? I would need to get out needle and thread etc - which would be something I have never done.

If it was used when they ruled the roads, then YES

Don't know whether they had covers on pickups or not. Will need to research more, although as Trevor said previously, you could get any after sales addition if you wanted it.

I would think in their day it would be a tarp tied down with ropes.
