Ford Model T
After I made my last car ,it was suggested I make a Ford, seeing Geelong is the home of Ford in Australia. The most famous is the model T, so I picked one of the models to have a go at. Search on the internet produced 100s of photos to peruse, my pick was a 1913 2 seater runabout.
No plans available, so it searching for any information on any details, got measurements for wheelbase, track, rim size ,tyres and a plan of the chassis which was not to scale.
Decided on a 1/10 scale which would make it about 350mm long x 250 high.
As most of these vehicles have been restored , the only thing original in most of the photos was the radiator, all other plans and details of the body were destroyed by fire in the 30s.
Attached photos of wheels and chassis with steering ready for clean up before the next ?????. regards John.

Originally this was in the Scale Modeling section, I didn't actual plans to work to I asked if it could be put into the Toy section. After the debate it stirred up in scale modeling I lost interest in it, hence no photos of construction were taken. Finally got around to finishing the car, here are a few photos, just remember it's not a scale model. regards John.
My thanks to Aussie for taking the photos.
