Thank you to all the great people that are helping make this business a success:

We're offering FREE oil changes for Model T's and Model A's.

Call for an Appointment.

 

The fine print:

You supply the oil, we'll do the work for free.

You need to bring your car here. 

We'll dispose of the used oil for you free.

Free "wheels on car" installation for anyone that purchases Dynabeads through us.

If we can't do it with the wheels on the car, we'll still help you install them! 
Dually trucks and certain wheels can be problematic for installing the beads through the valve stem.  Some vehicles require separating the tire from the wheel.

"Chickasha or Bust 2011"

To anyone interested in having a Model T Ford powerplant rebuilt:

We've run out of time to do this in 2010, so we're shooting for 2011. 

We need 8 customers living between Massachusetts and Oklahoma to make this work.  If we can get enough interest, we will rebuild your engines and deliver them free of charge to the March Pre War Swap Meet 2011, or anywhere along the route on the way back from the event.  The goal is to put eight engines sitting in stands on a flatbed trailer as a display at this event.  We will run each engine for its owner before it goes home.

You need to contact us if you want to take advantage of the free delivery offer.  We need a minimum of 3 months to do the work and we'll have to leave for the event on March 13th 2011 at the latest.  This will knock about $500 off the cost (based on 2009 costs) of a new engine.  Delivery in March at the swap meet will ensure you have enough time to get it back in the car for Spring touring. 

As stated above, we need eight engines to make this trip worth the expense.  It's 3600 miles round trip from here.  If we can't make the trip, and we'll have to ship your engine back to you on a pallet at your expense (business as usual) or you can pick it up here in Massachusetts. 

Everyone interested should contact me immediately, we'll pencil you onto the calendar.  I don't mind storing completed engines here for up to a year, no charge if it's for this adventure.  When we get all 8 engines lined up I'll be able to commit to the free delivery.  This offer is for complete rebuilds only - new everything from carb to oil pan.  No patch jobs, no "re-use the old ____" if it's something we normally replace.  Bottom line - no gambling on 80-100 year old junk this time!

The deadline on this is October 30th 2010.  We need your engine here before that date to meet the deadline.  Hopefully we will be able to meet you in Oklahoma, and display eight (or more) "brand new" Model T engines, running in test stands at the event.

Congrats to all that made the trip.  We hope we can join you someday!

These were on a recent customers car.  I doubt most of you have ever seen any, so I thought I'd post a couple photos:

Another happy customer!  This is another green engine (at the customers request) idling.

        

 

After this test drive, he was so happy with the car he decided to drive it home instead of towing it - 70 miles away in another state.  

 

Here's another engine, running in a test stand for a customer in Florida.  This engine had exactly 2 minutes of run time on it before taking this video.  Sending photos and videos to long distance customers is one of the ways we can keep you involved in the re-building of your cars power plant.

The "Green Thunderbolt" engine has found a home in my own car.  My cars transmission blew up, so in it went!  We do have another head setup here, so if you want one - let us know.  I can have another one ready for you in about three to four months.

To make this "quality" video, I backed the car out and shut it off so it would still be cold when I cranked it.  There were no out-takes, what you see is what happened.  Stone cold, two light pulls on the crank.  Touching the dash was me opening up the choke so it would idle slower.  It does run good, and it does have some "pep" to it!  To all the people that looked at this on ebay and asked "does it run" - here's your answer.

 

 

You're looking at an engine we rebuilt idling, with less than three minutes of run time.

It was fired up and left it idling while I ran in to get the camera.

Notice that the car is not shaking at all.  Does yours run this good?
