Fellow that came up with that idea used to take the rear fenders and rear wheels off and just tossed 'em into a big barn for years. Finally somebody came along and bought the whole lot for next to nothing and made a fortune out of it.



So goes the legend in New England.

Something like that would be cool to have. I had an uncle north of Duluth, MN that built his own from a Model T in the early '30s. He died about 30 years ago, but his son still uses it, and is pretty much as my uncle built it back in the day.

I am looking for one of these kits to do an early essex snowmobile.

I love the pictures of the T snowmobile. When I was a kid, there was a derilect closed cab T snowmobile sitting next to a barn just north of Stillwater, MN. Don't get too excited, I check to see if it is there every time I go back. How badly I wanted that thing! Still do! Now I collect vintage snowmobiles along with the cars and other junk. Note to self......add on to garage.



Have a nice day
