Starred thus,as usual the meral parts needed extensive clean up due to heavy flash.Getting ready to primer and paint.
Coming along nicely. I’ve done their Model A Roadster. Both of the national Model A clubs sponsor a Hubley race and show each year on a modified Pinewood Derby track. Various divisions for age, etc. Fun seeing the Hubleys on display with usually 100+ of the real thing outside in the parking lot. Haven’t seen the Model T clubs do something similar yet.
Yes I saw a brief YouTube bud on Hubley racing.Kind of cool but I am concerned with potential damage…I went with a dark red.
Hey Philo !
They sure didn’t worry about ground clearance around the body did they ? Wow , nice job ! T.B.
That is true but many roads were unpaved and rural back then so it had to be high sprung!
Beautiful work, love the mother-in-law seat.
Folks don’t realize most roads weren’t paved, even in cities, until the mid-20s. Traveling from city to city, particularly during the rainy season, was a major undertaking. What the T had going for it was the high ground clearance and flexible 3-point suspension allowing it to twist over objects. A T won the first coast to coast race in 1909, not many finishers though.
Yep and often times after ten or fifteen years they converted them to run a saw mill or pump.
That’s neat, Philo. What do you use for cement?
They even flew:
I used epoxy and Zap A Gap super glue,with Elmers clear for the windshield and rear window.
Nice plane !Ford flivver?
